Unbeknownst to many, Zero has been in this world for a month.

During that month, he received the best hospitality; everyone was very welcoming.

Having spent time with everyone, Zero has become quite familiar with the situation here.

After all, this place has experienced a golden age, so its technological development is relatively advanced.

He also liked the people here—they were honest, brave, and loyal.

I thought it was time to give them some good stuff to improve their overall strength.

The reason why I didn't bring out the best equipment earlier was firstly because I wasn't familiar with this place, and secondly because I didn't know whether the people here were trustworthy.

Therefore, even knowing that his mission was to protect humanity, he dared not let his guard down.

Those equipment and weapons were far beyond what people in this world could have imagined; they could even be said to be capable of overturning this world.

If it falls into the wrong hands, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, after spending a month with them, Zero also saw their character and realized that they were all people worth cultivating.

Therefore, he plans to form an army, an army specifically designed to fight against mutated species.

After all, simply hiding is not a solution; people should also have the ability to protect themselves.

Zero is just an outsider; he can't stay here forever. The only ones who can truly protect them are themselves.

Their homeland needs to be protected by themselves...

Zero instructed Ye Hao to issue a notice, recruiting soldiers who would volunteer to protect their homeland and fight against the alien species.

However, what he never expected was that, in such a time of great calamity, I thought that at least a third of the people would be willing to stand up and protect their homes, if not half. But Ye Hao only managed to gather a dozen or so scattered people!

Four of them were people I knew—

Ye Hao's two subordinates, Qin Feng and Chongming, and two female captains, Ling Shuang and Ling Shu, whom he had only met once.

Women are more courageous than men.

With a sigh, Ye Hao explained:

"These are all we can gather. Under the current circumstances, most people just want to live peacefully. They don't care about eating or dressing well; they just want to stay here safely and don't want to go out and fight against the alien species."

To live a peaceful life?

Zero couldn't help but scoff inwardly. At a time like this, they still expect to live a peaceful life?

(For convenience, mutated species will henceforth be referred to simply as variant species.)

Given the speed at which the alien species is developing, it's only a matter of time before they break through our defenses.

At that time, without any preparation, only death awaits everyone.

Only by cultivating a force capable of resisting them can they have the power to fight back; otherwise, only extinction awaits humanity in the end.

But this is for the best; at least those who bravely step forward at this moment are the most trustworthy and reliable.

Zero tried to comfort herself.

Including Ye Hao, the army had only thirteen members. So he named it the Thirteenth Legion.

Ling appointed Ye Hao as the team leader. Qin Feng, Chong Ming, Ling Shuang, and Ling Shu were appointed as the four vice-captains, each leading two members.

Although their numbers are small, as long as he is there, they are the most formidable soldiers.

Moreover, Zero believes that time will bring about change.

There would come a day when they would face off head-on, and he believed that after witnessing the battle firsthand, no one else would be able to remain indifferent.

At least zero won't let them be complacent.
