The convoy on the ground maintained a constant speed.

And above the sky.

A giant golden bird with a wingspan of over thirty meters was flying smoothly hundreds of meters above the convoy.

On the broad back of the golden giant bird, the Blood Maiden stood with her hands behind her back, gazing into the distance.

To facilitate combat.

Her silky, waist-length hair was now tied into a high ponytail.

Her long hair fluttered in the wind.

The blood-red python-skin robe she wore fit her perfectly.

The matching belt around her waist not only accentuated her slender waist but also highlighted her curvaceous S-shaped figure.

She carried a massive blade, over two meters in length, diagonally across her back.

The broad blade made her figure appear exceptionally slender.

The white bone handle of the Level 4 Rat King Claw Blade is as white as jade, making it exceptionally eye-catching.

Jiang Wu exchanged for a total of five Level 4 Rat King Claw Blades.

Of the two thickest and heaviest, one was given to Su Ziyu.

One was given to the Blood Woman.

That is, the one on the Blood Woman's back.

Beside her feet, Jiang An'an, still looking like a six-year-old girl, was sitting cross-legged, playing with her own "toys".

Her delicate, doll-like face was full of focus.

The "toys" she was playing with were actually two mutant fleas as big as soccer balls.

Surprisingly, she was unable to tie up the two mutated fleas.

But the two mutated fleas didn't run away; instead, they crawled to wherever she pointed.

Every now and then, Jiang An'an would mutter to herself, "Big jump, small jump, bite Little Gold! Don't be afraid! Right here..."

Chen Yin stood respectfully with his hands at his sides, half a step behind the Blood Woman.

She was wearing a long, black-dyed python-skin robe and a matching python-skin hood.

Only her delicate and beautiful oval face and a few strands of hair were visible.

Her all-black attire made her flawless, exposed skin appear even whiter.

Suddenly, the Blood Woman casually asked, "How far are we from the Second Rejuvenation City now?"

Chen Yin immediately replied respectfully, "Blood Lady, we have already left the Second Revival City by more than 700 kilometers, and are still about 200 kilometers away from Steel City."

The Blood Woman gently raised her right hand.

Chen Yin understood immediately and presented the ten-inch military tablet computer that she had been carefully holding in her arms with both hands.

The Blood Woman took the tablet, her slender, fair fingers expertly swiping and clicking on the screen.

The content on the screen was a map.

At this moment, Jiang An'an, who was originally focused on teasing the two mutated fleas, was drawn to the attention.

She ignored the two mutated fleas.

He stood up abruptly and curiously approached the Blood Woman.

She stood on tiptoe, her big, dark eyes fixed on the constantly changing lines and symbols on the screen.

Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked, "Mom, what is this?"

Seeing her daughter's curious expression, the Blood Woman smiled slightly.

She pulled Jiang An'an to sit down with her and placed the tablet between them.

Then, pointing to the screen, she patiently explained, "An'an, this is called an electronic map."

"This is our home, the Second Fuxing City."

As she spoke, her finger slid gently westward across the screen.

"And our next destination is here. It's called Steel City."

Jiang An'an tilted her head and asked curiously, "Why do we have to run so far? Why don't we take over all the places near our home first? Wouldn't that be more convenient?"

Blood Woman gently put her arm around her daughter's shoulder and said with a smile, "Because in this steel city, there are many, many very large machines and many very powerful factories."

"Once we recapture this steel city, we can use those machines to produce a lot of the 'big guys' we need, such as more powerful tanks and more robust armored vehicles."

She paused, then moved her finger westward again.

After passing the steel city, heading west again, it finally points to that region that represents the vast plateau.

"And, An'an, look this way. If you go further west from this steel city, you'll come to a place called Tibet."

"The terrain of western Tibet is very unique; it is extremely high! And the land is extremely vast!"

“As long as we can control the entire western Tibet, we can establish a very, very large, very, very secure permanent base there.”

Jiang An'an was clearly persuaded. Her eyes widened, and she asked with great curiosity, "Very, very big? Very, very safe?! Just how big is it? How much bigger is it than our Second Revival City?"

The Blood Woman ruffled her daughter's hair and said with a smile, "An'an, this can't be compared. Our Second Revival City is built on the foundation of the original city, so its scale is limited."

"But in western Tibet, as long as there is a need and as long as we have the capability, our base can be built and expanded continuously! It can even be thousands or tens of thousands of times larger than the Second Fuxing City!"

"Because the land in western Tibet is really, really vast, bigger than you can imagine."

Jiang An'an's mouth opened into an "O" shape, clearly shocked by the scene her mother described.

Suddenly remembering something, she excitedly grabbed the Blood Girl's arm and asked with a bang, "Will Daddy like it a lot then?! He'll definitely praise Mommy and An'an for being so amazing!"

Hearing her daughter mention Jiang Wu, the Blood Woman's eyes filled with longing, and she became even more tender.

She nodded firmly and said with a smile, "Yes, your dad will definitely like it! He'll praise us for being so amazing!"

"And then, we'll build a super base in western Tibet that's thousands or even tens of thousands of times larger than the Second Revival City! So that everyone can live there safely! Your father will also consider it his true home."

Beside them, Chen Yin, who was quietly listening to the conversation between the two, also had an exceptionally intense look in her eyes.

She was well aware of the grand scale and difficulty of the plan, but she also understood its unparalleled strategic significance.

Their initial goal was to rely on the Second Fuxing City and steadily expand northwestward.

However, last time, Madam Bai personally led a team to have a long meeting with Lady Blood and Zi Ling and other high-ranking officials.

It was that meeting that completely changed the strategic direction of their Second Revival City and Second Legion.

They also formulated the now bolder and more visionary "Westward Expansion Plan".

This "westward expansion plan" is very simple; it mainly involves heading west.

First, capture Steel City, a major town in southern Sichuan with a complete heavy industrial system!

The steel city's heavy industry system is very important and will be the foundation for this plan's future.

Subsequently, the steel city was developed into a robust transit hub.

This also shifted the center of gravity of the Second Revival City in this direction.

Meanwhile, the Second Revival Army will use Steel City as a base to continue its westward advance.

They successively captured several cities.

Then, using these cities as springboards, they continued westward.

Finally, we entered the western Tibetan Plateau!

The ultimate goal is to control the entire western Tibetan Plateau!
