Japan has always been like this; they don't feel real fear, they just feel that now is not an opportunity for them to fight.
The base kept casualty figures very low, with the majority of deaths occurring among zombies.
The clearer the painting in the sky became, the more it seemed to foreshadow something. More and more figures appeared in it, and some even began to flee in panic.
Many people in the world saw those people fleeing in the sky and speculated whether they too were facing the end of the world, or if zombies had appeared among them, and so on.
The king also sent many flying ability users into the air to see who they were or what technology they were using to project the images.
However, many people who flew into the sky could neither touch nor see the image, and even the sky itself could not see it. Many people had searched the surrounding area but found no trace of the projection, which is why they believed the image was a mirage.
This made the king very anxious. What exactly was this? What had the enemy from the Eastern Continent done to make these images appear in the sky? Was it an attempt to intimidate them?
The king's condition led the dukes below to speculate among themselves. Brand glanced at the expressions of the people in front of him, and only a cold smile remained in his heart. If the Eastern Continent won, he would not mind returning to his own small place to live. At worst, he would not change his identity.
For him, all he needed to do was survive; his other identities were merely auxiliary functions, simply ways to make his life better.
Duke Wayne glanced at Brand casually, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked with a smile, "Duke Brand, you've been leading your men to kill almost nothing in the Eastern Continent lately. Are you holding back?"
Brand curled his lips into a smile as he toyed with the slender, exquisite boning knife in his hand: "Is Duke Wayne talking about himself? I heard he lost a few cities and now has to come back to Z City to stay put."
Wayne's face flushed red as he glared angrily at Brand: "You!"
Before he could speak, Brand continued, "I heard they were beaten so badly they ran away far away, and even the people they brought with them were all slaughtered. Although they were all fusion humans, they were still some resources, weren't they?"
Wayne stared at him grimly and snorted coldly, "Hmph, Your Majesty, my family is willing to contribute two-thirds of all our resources, hoping that you can take over the Eastern Continent in one fell swoop."
The king didn't mind the dukes arguing in front of him; on the contrary, he was quite happy to see this scene. He would even be a little wary if they got along well.
"Oh? Hahaha, good, Wayne will give you credit. When I take over this land, you will be the great hero."
Brand watched Wayne's boasting with a cold laugh. He didn't care at all how many resources Wayne could offer. After the apocalypse, even large families would suffer huge losses. He had heard that some slaves among the nobles had awakened powerful abilities and wiped out all the nobles who had been oppressing them, seizing the nobles' resources.
Some attacks come in groups, but large families are usually not afraid of these. In the early days of the apocalypse, they still have weapons and ammunition available, so they still have some deterrent power.
Many noble families have a large number of members, and as long as they survive the early stages of the apocalypse, members of their own clan will gradually awaken. This is an advantage of large clans, as they can stockpile a large amount of resources in the early stages.
As if he had just thought of something, the king suddenly said leisurely, "I heard that today is a festival in the Eastern Continent called New Year's Eve. This is an opportunity. Wayne, take the ability users of the Third Army and go. I want to see blood-red fireworks bloom tonight."
Wayne bowed slightly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing that the king had not assigned him any tasks, Brand stood up, gave a slight bow, and withdrew.
The king looked at Brand and said nothing. After the two of them left, a man emerged from the darkness and said to the king with a smile, "One of these two is bound to be restless."
Seeing his expression, the king said, "It doesn't matter. As long as I control all the superpowered armies, those two can't cause any trouble."
Michel looked at the king's confident demeanor, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, but he still maintained a slightly respectful expression and said, "Your Majesty is right."
Wayne, who had already left, saw Brand also coming out. "You've always been the king's most loyal lackey, so why didn't His Majesty assign you any tasks?"
Brand said sarcastically, "Duke Wayne's power is at its zenith. I hope you can come back alive this time."
After saying that, Brand left first. Wayne watched Brand's retreating figure, his eyes filled with gloom.
This time, the king ordered him to lead an army with more superhumans and fewer hybrids; all of them were superhumans, indicating that the king intended to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy, and he couldn't afford to fail the mission.

As Ye Shang watched the mirage gradually dissipate, he felt as if the sky was about to collapse.
Qingli frowned slightly and said, "Ah Shang, why do I always feel like we're getting closer and closer?"
Ye Shang replied, "The world's will has begun to accept it."
Then Ye Shang called over Song Wenwen, Wei Jin, Wei Ming and the others, "Today is New Year's Eve, so please pay attention to the border."
Hongying pondered, "Does Your Excellency think the enemy might attack tonight?"
Ye Shang nodded: "That possibility cannot be ruled out. The drones I deployed captured some images of the formations."
Those drones lie quietly in some corner during the day and start working stealthily at night. They have not been discovered so far, as if they are consciously hiding. Even if they can't capture any useful footage, they will never go out to risk their lives.
