Qi Baokai, a talented musician burdened by family debt and lost love, lives a life of quiet regret. After his youthful romance with Jiang Manshi ended due to her father's disapproval, he married a woman he didn't love. The apocalypse struck, claiming his wife and daughter. Left with nothing, Qi Baokai, consumed by grief and regret, buried himself in the snow with his violin and recorder, transforming into a singing, laughing frog.

When Fatty Xu saw Li Yangyang, he had originally thought his heart would be incredibly nervous upon seeing her.

But when he actually saw that gentle smile of hers, just as always, Fatty Xu's heart actually calmed down instead.

She always understood Fatty Xu so well, never letting him feel at a loss for what to do.

Li Yangyang walked up to Fatty Xu, stared into his eyes, and looked at him seriously for quite a while before saying delightedly, "You've lost so much weight compared to last time! You look even more handsome now!"

Fatty Xu chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "I've been training hard all along! After all, I can't always be dragging everyone down!"

"Um, let me take you around!"

Fatty Xu pointed at the icy wasteland in the distance, saying somewhat embarrassedly.

Zhang Yi's shelter never allowed outsiders to approach, because there were many core secrets there.

At a time like this, the person had come all this way to find him, and yet he wasn't even inviting her inside to sit. It really did make Fatty Xu feel a bit awkward.

Li Yangyang, however, smiled faintly. "Sure!"

But just at that moment, the gates of the Tianshui Fortress opened, and Uncle Yu, a cigarette dangling from his lips, smiled and extended his thick, powerful, muscle-bulging arm toward the two of them, calling out, "Come in and sit for a while!"

Fatty Xu blinked, somewhat surprised.

Uncle Yu sent Fatty Xu a voice message: "Zhang Yi said it already. Since she's your girlfriend, she's one of us. He can't possibly not give you this much face, right?"

Zhang Yi was very clear about Li Yangyang's background, and he wasn't worried about her doing anything inside the shelter.

Moreover, the shelter nowadays, while said to have secrets, what mattered most to Zhang Yi was the people.

After all, nearly all of his important strategic resources were stored inside his dimensional space. Even if he left Tianshui City, as long as he brought Lu Keran and the others along, he could quickly rebuild a new shelter.

Fatty Xu was inwardly moved to tears.

Boss, you're really too good to me!

The corners of his mouth slowly curved upward as he pointed toward the Tianshui Fortress behind him. "Let's go, it's too cold outside. Let's sit inside."

Li Yangyang covered her mouth in surprise. "Huh? Is that okay? Lord Chaos doesn't seem to like others going to his place!"

"Ha, what's the relationship between him and me! My... friend has come all this way, of course he has to give me face!"

...

All six major regions of Huaxu Nation were in a state of mobilization. After the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits were dispatched, the entire Shengjing City began martial law.

Dragon's Roar Guard Grand Captain, Lieutenant General Shang Daowen, began issuing orders to conduct a door-to-door investigation of the entire Shengjing City.

Except for a small number of individuals of distinguished status, everyone else had to undergo blood testing to prevent any alien races from infiltrating Shengjing City.

Snow Dragon City.

After [Zhen Yuanzi] Zong Yue received intelligence from the high-ranking officials of the major region, he also began making arrangements, ordering everyone in the entire mining district to undergo testing.

He ordered the captain of the Dragon's Roar Guard: "Starting from the Dragon's Roar Guard, undergo the first round of testing. Next, in order, the staff of Snow Dragon City and Wuyou Valley, and after that, the miners. We must ensure that not a single person is overlooked!"

That Dragon's Roar Guard captain gave a military salute. "Yes, Lord Warden!"

He turned and left the room, carefully closing the door behind him with his back hand.

Zong Yue sat at the broad office desk, yet his brow was deeply furrowed.

"Most of the Elemental Ore Vein in Wuyou Valley has been mined away by Chaos, but this place still needs someone to watch over it. If the Underground Civilization beneath the Qinling Mountains riots again, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"But..."

He looked at his own pair of dry palms. "Is my current strength already somewhat unable to keep up with the times?"

Not long ago, he had just experienced a battle with Zhang Yi.

Calling it a battle, it was really just being instantly killed by Zhang Yi in a single move.

He hadn't had the slightest chance to react before Zhang Yi's Star-Piercing Cannon shot through his body.

So it turned out that even among fellow Epsilon-class, there were disparities in strength.

And in this Mist Valley invasion war that covered more than half of Huaxu Nation, the alien Transcendents appearing everywhere, the Silver Armor-class Transcendents, all possessed Black Chariot-tier strength.

If he encountered an existence like that, with his strength, he probably wouldn't be able to handle it, would he!

"[Ksitigarbha King] and [Houtu] cannot easily leave Shengjing City. If an external war breaks out, I should be the first to stand at the front. Zong Yue, you need to work even harder!"

Zong Yue murmured to himself.

No sooner had his words fallen than suddenly, on the window outside, as if ink had been splashed across it, a large streak of fresh blood sprayed onto the surface, carrying a eerie horror on this cold night.

Zong Yue's pupils violently constricted, and powerful earth-yellow supernatural powers instantly surged out from his body.

He slapped the table and stood up. "Who's there!"

"Bang!"

The office door was flung open, and cold wind poured backward into his office from outside. Two people appeared at the doorway.

One fat, one thin, both wearing miner's clothes, looking at him with faces full of mockery.

And a thick, reeking stench of blood emanated from their bodies.

Zong Yue saw that in the corridor outside, fresh blood had converged into a flowing river, and a large number of Dragon's Roar Guards and staff corpses lay there.

The thin one wore a black knit cap on his head. He had heavy dark circles around his eye sockets, and his gaze was sinister and playful.

"Oh, [Zhen Yuanzi] Zong Yue, right?"

He slowly curled the corners of his mouth, and the shadow beneath his feet suddenly stood upright like a viscous liquid, transforming behind him into a ferocious, terrifying giant monster bird that spread pitch-black wings.

"Can I borrow your head for a moment?"

The thin one said with a grin.

...

Shengjing City.

Dragon's Roar Guard Grand Captain Shang Daowen was overseeing operations. The Huaxu Nation might be facing the greatest crisis in its history next, and nowadays he didn't dare sleep too deeply each day.

After all, the invasion of the Mist Valley Transcendent forces wouldn't give him advance notice.

Deep in the night, he was sitting at his office desk reviewing documents when suddenly, his communication device received a communication request from Zong Yue.

Shang Daowen's brow furrowed slightly. "This late, what does Zong Yue want with me?"

In this particular season, anything happening could bring bad news.

Shang Daowen accepted the communication, and the device immediately projected an image before his eyes.

An image that instantly turned his face cold and terrifying.

On the training grounds of Snow Dragon City, Zong Yue's combat suit had been stripped off, and he hung almost completely naked from a tall flagpole, eyes tightly shut, life or death unknown.

"Zong Yue!"

Shang Daowen shot to his feet, his eyes burning with fury.

In the frame, a head suddenly popped into view. It was a thin man wearing a black knit cap, his heavy dark circles making him look exactly like a zombie from a movie.

When he saw Shang Daowen, he immediately grinned and waved in greeting.

"Hi! The Grand Captain of the Dragon's Roar Guard, Shang Daowen, right?"
