Li Yu pushed open the door from outside the makeshift hospital and entered.

Ma Yuanbai turned his head and saw that it was Li Yu. A gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Li Yu is back."

He quickly jumped off the table and strode over to greet him.

The refugees noticed Li Yu's return and immediately stood up in unison, following the procedure Ma Yuanbai had rehearsed.

"Alliance Leader!"

The refugees spoke loudly and in unison, and they were all dressed in uniform camouflage. They looked orderly and no longer as chaotic as they had been in the past.

After joining the alliance, they have been able to eat and drink their fill every day, and now they can sleep in makeshift hospitals that no longer leak, and even have a comfortable bed.

In just a few days, their mental outlook underwent a tremendous transformation.

Under Ma Yuanbai's guidance day after day, the refugees have come to realize that all these positive changes are because of Li Yu.

At this moment, they stood upright, seemingly wanting to express their absolute loyalty to Li Yu in this way.

This was the first time Li Yu had encountered such a scene, and she was momentarily stunned by the crowd's shouts.

Moreover, he suddenly has these nominal subordinates, and now he doesn't know what they're doing.

Ma Yuanbai, who was standing to the side, gave Li Yu a wink. Only then did Li Yu notice Zhao Xiong and the others distributing food. He then slowly began to speak:

"Everyone, please continue eating..."

"Yes." The refugees sat down neatly again, their discipline noticeably improved.

Li Yu beckoned to Ma Yuanbai, signaling him to come aside and talk.

Ma Yuanbai nodded and followed Li Yu to a corner of the makeshift hospital.

As soon as he reached the corner, Ma Yuanbai couldn't wait to point at the refugees and say:

“Li Yu, look how much they’ve changed. Aren’t they much more respectful towards you now?” Ma Yuanbai’s eyes held a hint of smugness.

"Uh," Li Yu said, speechless.

He felt more than just respect; he felt as if Ma Yuanbai had deified him.

Li Yu's gaze returned to the refugees, who were now eating.

After these few wonderful days, a satisfied smile finally appeared on their faces, perhaps one of the few genuine smiles they would ever have in their lives.

"What's the point? Is it just giving them hope?"

Li Yu herself doesn't have enough confidence in the future, so it's impossible for her to really lead so many people forward together.

"Actually, it's not very useful." Ma Yuanbai also looked at the refugees and said slowly:

"However, sometimes refugees need a firm belief, a clear goal to follow, only then can they survive."

Li Yu silently watched the refugees, and after a moment of silence, he remembered the purpose of his search for Ma Yuanbai.

He took out the cylinder he had found inside the electric eel and handed it to Ma Yuanbai.

Do you recognize this?

Ma Yuanbai glanced at it and was somewhat surprised. He quickly took it and examined it carefully.

"Could this be a foreign object?"

"Foreign object?" Li Yu asked curiously.

Ma Yuanbai stared intently at the electric patterns on the cylinder and continued to explain:

"The alien object is the essence of the alien beast. Unlike the crystal core, the alien object is generally formed slowly from the organs of the alien beast that store energy, or from the location where the alien power is most abundant."

"Some foreign objects are teeth, some are claws, and some are even scales or eyes. Any important supernatural organ on the body of a strange beast can potentially evolve into a foreign object."

This was also the first time Ma Yuanbai had ever seen a foreign object with his own eyes:

"However, foreign objects are usually found only on the bodies of high-level beasts, just like the reverse scale of a dragon in legends, which are extremely rare and precious."

Holding the foreign object in his hand, Ma Yuanbai gave Li Yu a deep look:

"You actually managed to kill a high-level alien beast."

No wonder he could no longer sense the energy fluctuations within Li Yu's body; the difference in their strength was too great.

Li Yu thought back and realized that the electric eel king was indeed powerful; it almost electrocuted Xiao Hei to death.

Moreover, they seem to possess some intelligence, knowing how to ambush in advance, and their stealth is top-notch.

So it seems the Electric Eel King is indeed a high-level alien beast. Li Yu nodded and then asked:

"What can this foreign object be used for?" He had previously discovered that the energy inside the foreign object was peculiar and could not be absorbed and utilized like a crystal core.

“According to the documents I’ve read, most of the foreign objects were used to make weapons,” Ma Yuanbai recalled.

"How can such a small foreign object be used to make a weapon?" Li Yu asked, looking at the palm-sized cylinder.

"That's why we need awakened beings related to creation; this kind of ability is relatively rare." Ma Yuanbai said, returning the foreign object to Li Yu, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes when he saw it, as if he was hiding something from Li Yu.

At this moment, Zhao Xiong and Sun Hao came over after distributing the food.

"Alliance Leader Li Yu." The two greeted Li Yu with a formal title.

Although they had known Li Yu for a long time, under Ma Yuanbai's brainwashing, they completely accepted Li Yu's identity as the leader of the alliance.

Given their current social status, the two appeared somewhat reserved.

Li Yu didn't seem to care about any of that, smiling as she responded to Zhao Xiong and Sun Hao's greetings, trying to ease the tension between them.

"I'm planning to leave Qingcheng, so I came to tell Ma Yuanbai."

Ma Yuanbai suddenly echoed resolutely, "I also think it's time to leave Qingcheng. We'll make preparations immediately and wait for your order to depart."

As he spoke, he waved to Zhao Xiong and the other man, who immediately understood and turned around to tell the refugees to start packing their belongings.

"......"

Looking at the refugees who had already begun to pack up, Li Yu looked bewildered and said to Ma Yuanbai again:

“That’s not what I meant. I meant that I’m leaving.”

"receive!"

Ma Yuanbai suddenly shouted, and under the watchful eyes of the surrounding refugees, he gave Li Yu a perfect salute:

"We will follow our leader to the death!"

"Follow the leader!" shouted the refugees who were packing their belongings.

Li Yu stepped forward, patted Ma Yuanbai on the shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up with a helpless expression.

"Thank you so much."

Seeing everyone packing up, Li Yu turned around and walked out of the makeshift hospital first.

Before leaving Qingcheng, he still needed to go see Lu Fan.

"Take me to Lu Fan," Li Yu said to the team leader at the door.

"Alliance Leader Li Yu, this way please." The team leader told the soldier to go report first, while leading Li Yu toward the high-rise building.

When Li Yu arrived, Lu Fan seemed to have just returned and was waiting downstairs.

As Li Yu drew closer, Lu Fan immediately sensed a familiar energy fluctuation.

Lu Fan looked at Li Yu in disbelief:

"Superpowers?"

A glint flashed in his eyes as he activated his supernatural ability and looked at Li Yu again.

A powerful energy was gathering within Li Yu's body, and he could also feel a strong sense of threat, making him undoubtedly a super ability user.

Lu Fan then realized that the person who had advanced to superpowers was actually Li Yu.
