“Yes!”
…
In the depths of the wilderness area of the Huadong City.
Roar! Roar!
Waves of loud roars constantly sounded.
Rumble…
All kinds of huge beasts walked among the flourishing ancient trees, making the ground tremble incessantly, as if it was still the prehistoric era.
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared in the sky.
A large number of demon beasts sensed the energy fluctuations and roared.
At this moment, a sharp voice sounded. “Shadow, what are you doing in my territory?”
The dark figure quickly floated into a rough round wooden building and slowly condensed, revealing a black robe.
“Greetings, Lord Cloud Mink!” The dark figure bowed respectfully. “The reason for my visit this time is because the President wants to give you a big gift.”
The high-pitched voice said, “What big gift?”
The dark figure hurriedly said, “Huadong City.”
Boom!
The entire rough round wooden building shook. Two eyes that were like giant lanterns emerged from the darkness and stared at the dark figure.
“The Huadong City harmed my people. I have made a vow to destroy the Huadong City. State your terms!”
The dark figure chuckled. “After this matter is done, as long as you can provide a portion of your Cloud Mink’s blood essence, that will do.”
The other party snorted, and the surrounding air froze.
“Your president sure has a big appetite… Alright, I agree. But if the Huadong City doesn’t get destroyed, I assume you are aware of the consequences…”
…
At Qu City High School.
Ring ring.
With a crisp ringtone, the school gradually fell silent.
In the training room.
Zhou Hao and the others were lying in the virtual cabins, constantly killing various demon beasts and insects.
Compared to before, the number of demon beasts and insects had increased by several times, making many students complain incessantly.
In less than ten minutes, almost eighty percent of the virtual cabins turned red.
Many students sighed and shouted, “It’s too difficult!”
Not long after, Zhou Hao, Xu Ling, and Zhang Yi’s team were also annihilated.
“There are too many demon warriors. And all of them were traveling in packs. The training difficulty has indeed increased by a lot!” Xu Ling frowned, but her face was still cold and beautiful.
Zhou Hao said casually, “The difficulty has increased, but everyone’s strength has improved very quickly.”
Xu Ling nodded slightly.
Indeed.
The high-intensity training after the award ceremony had improved the combat experience of the students in the class. Moreover, in addition to carrying out virtual drills, Instructor Shen had also arranged for all the students to continue fighting mutated beasts like the Tusk Boar. Everyone’s strength had also clearly improved.
At the very least, when facing the low-level demon warriors, everyone was no longer as panicked as before.
“By the way, Yuan Cheng and the others said that they’re going to a bar to relax tonight. Are you coming?” Xu Ling looked at Zhou Hao and Zhang Yi and asked.
Zhang Yi shook his head. “I’ll go home and continue training.”
His younger sister’s whereabouts were still unknown, so he was naturally in no mood to go to the bar.
Zhou Hao also shook his head. “I still have something to do tonight.”
Xu Ling widened her eyes and kicked Zhou Hao lightly. She asked suspiciously, “What is there for you to do?”
Zhou Hao said angrily, “It’s not convenient for me to tell you.”
Xu Ling seemed to have thought of something as her face turned slightly red. “Shameless, how could you go to those shady places? I’m ignoring you!”
With that said, she turned and left.
“Is she on her period again?!” Zhou Hao was speechless.
After school.
Zhou Hao arrived at the defensive line of the East Station.
Just as he arrived at the command center, he saw Commander Zhao frowning.
“Commander Zhao, what happened?” he asked as he stepped forward.
“Senior Zhou, you came at the right time.” Commander Zhao stretched out his hand and signaled for Zhou Hao to sit.
Zhou Hao sat down.
Commander Zhao handed him a cup of hot water and said in a deep voice, “Yesterday, two martial artist teams disappeared at the edge of Area 283. However, the people we sent to search did not discover anything!”
“These two martial artist teams are not weak. There were three master-level experts in each team.”
When Zhou Hao heard this, he asked curiously, “Area 283 is rather far from the city. I just cleaned up that area the day before yesterday. Almost all the intermediate-level and high-level demon generals were dead. With a master around, how is it possible for their team to disappear?”
Commander Zhao nodded. “That’s also what I don’t understand.”
As he spoke, he tapped his finger on the table.
Immediately, ripples appeared. The ordinary table instantly became an electronic screen covered in red dots.
“And just two hours ago, our intelligence department discovered that there was a bad high energy signal in Area 283. Several helicopters went to investigate and were destroyed on the way!”
Zhou Hao’s expression could not help becoming solemn.
