On the second day of the apocalypse, the losses around the world were twice as severe as those of the Hidden Dragon Empire.
Because the Hidden Dragon Empire was forewarned by Mu Qingxue. Although the Empire was half-skeptical, it made ample preparations.
In this distortion, some small countries even directly declared doom, with only a few Super Martial Artists surviving by holding on.
Numerous Deformed Creatures, gathered in swarms, could be seen everywhere.
In the darkness, Deceitful Mutant Creatures lurked.
Meanwhile, high-intelligence beings at the Evil Seed Level and Disaster Level subdued groups of Deformed Creatures in various cities, gradually forming huge Deformed Creature forces.
Cyan Cloud High School had three generators, running all three simultaneously could supply power to the entire school.
However, currently, one generator starting up was sufficient to provide power to a single building.
It was a teachers' dormitory, where over fifty survivors were residing.
The first thing people did when power came on was to charge their phones.
Then, they scrolled through Tiger Sound news, to see what had become of the world.
Gu Qijue returned to the principal's room, lay on the bed, plugged in the mobile charger, strangely, despite his body crackling with thunder earlier, the phone wasn't affected.
The bed had a lingering woman's fragrance.
Unlocking the screen, he saw three messages from Mu Qingxue.
[Hello, I don't know how to address you?]
[Hello, are you there? I have something to discuss with you.]
[Hello, if you see this message, could you reply to me?]
Gu Qijue typed back: "Are you Mu Qingxue?"
Ding dong!
The message barely sent, and almost instantly came the reply: "Yes, I don't know how to address you; Mengxi said you're also human."
"Just call me Black Dragon; I'm very interested in your shelter."
Gu Qijue was blunt: "In a while, I will take it down, please prepare accordingly."
"Mr. Black Dragon, since we're all humans here, you can move in with us." Mu Qingxue replied in this manner.
Gu Qijue said playfully: "If I move over, who will be in charge?"
"Naturally, I will!" Mu Qingxue confidently stated.
Gu Qijue, upon hearing this, coldly laughed and replied: "Then there's nothing to discuss. With your capability, you won't be able to hold that shelter."
Mu Qingxue candidly said: "I know it's hard to hold, because there are two very powerful Disaster Level creatures in Cloud City, so I want to recruit you to join us."
"You, think to rule me, laughable, in this apocalypse, do you really think you're something special?" Gu Qijue's words were quite impolite.
"Mr. Black Dragon, you're so arrogant, looks like we're at an impasse, but do you know, there's Ancient Martial Artists among humans, you killed the grandson of War General Lin, he won't let you off."
Truth be told, Mu Qingxue's contact with Gu Qijue this time was merely a probe.
Even if Gu Qijue agreed generously to join their shelter, Mu Qingxue would still deliberate repeatedly.
Because this man was too powerful.
If he was allowed in, no one would be able to stop him.
"I have no intention of being enemies with humans, but if they dare attack me, I will kill everyone in Cloud City Shelter, all the...high-ranking ones!"
Gu Qijue's words carried hostility.
This is no joke; he would really do this.
"Very well, Mr. Black Dragon, take care of yourself, I will wait for your attack."
In the center hall of the shelter villa, Mu Qingxue's mature and charming face appeared somber. After replying to this message, she tried to locate Gu Qijue but discovered that he had already deleted her...
"Xiaolan, go call Chu Mengxi."
"Yes!"
The woman stationed at the door immediately left quickly upon hearing.
"Is it Black Dragon? Don't let me locate your position, otherwise, if Lin Zhengxiao knew, you'll be unlucky." Mu Qingxue showed a cold smile.
A few minutes later, Xiaolan returned alone.
"Where's Chu Mengxi?" Mu Qingxue saw this, frowned, and asked.
Xiaolan said: "Ran away!"
"She is indeed loyal to that beast-like man, even being able to abandon her parents and sister."
Mu Qingxue's face was gloomy, she got up to leave, to find Cute Treasure.
She wanted to recruit one of the remaining top Disaster Levels in Cloud City, the Iron-Backed Giant Ape.
In the previous life, this ape had collaborated with humans.
Throughout the shelter, Super Martial Artists recruited by Mu Qingxue were absorbing the intense sunlight.
In August, the weather was in a constant state of high temperature.
The city was littered with the bodies of Deformed Creatures, quickly shriveling under the sunlight.
...
...
Around three in the afternoon.
A battle helicopter landed in Cloud City Shelter.
On the airfield.
Lin Zhengxiao was already there with a group of high-ranking members to greet.
When the helicopter stabilized on the ground, two figures floated out.
A man and a woman.
The man was a monk in a robe, with astonishingly handsome features.
The woman was a Taoist dressed in robes, her appearance was ordinary, but her presence was outstanding.
"Welcome Junior Monk and Lingxi Daoist Nun to our Cloud City Shelter, the banquet is ready, please!"
Seeing them, Lin Zhengxiao laughed heartily, leading the people up to greet.
Lingxi Daoist Nun glanced around, finally focusing her gaze on Lin Zhengxiao, asking: "How many Super Martial Artists have you recruited?"
Lin Zhengxiao led the way ahead: "We saved around eight hundred thousand survivors, recruited seven hundred and fifty Super Martial Artists, currently all training in the shelter."
"Prepare to publish a news release, establish a Super Martial Artist Alliance! Those who don't join are anti-human and must be eliminated!" Lingxi Daoist Nun decisively ordered.
Lin Zhengxiao smiled amiably: "Yes, the news content is already prepared, just waiting to be released."
Both of them were Innate Martial Artists.
He had heard about the ranks among Martial Artists.
They were categorized as Postnatal, Innate, Grandmaster, Grandmaster.
Innate Martial Artists could externalize True Qi and even briefly fly, incredibly powerful.
In the presence of such beings, how could Lin Zhengxiao not show respect?
At the feast, these two Ancient Martial Artists ate only plain vegetables and rice, refusing any meat or alcohol.
Lin Zhengxiao seized the opportunity to speak: "Our Cloud City has birthed a Demon Dragon, last night it killed many of our human Super Martial Artists, its strength is extremely formidable, if ignored, it could become a future threat."
"Oh? What kind of Demon Dragon?"
The handsome monk curiously asked.
"Junior Monk please look."
Lin Zhengxiao took out his phone, playing the video of the prior Deformed Tree struggle.
In the video, Gu Qijue was at his strongest state, his body covered in Dragon Scales, mouth with Dragon Teeth, head topped with Dragon Horns, and possessing a Black Dragon Tail, clearly resembling a Demon Dragon.
The handsome monk watched for half a minute, nodding: "Strong! But still within a range we can handle."
Lingxi Daoist Nun took the phone to glance over: "This Demon Dragon poses a great threat, must be eliminated early, do you know where he is currently?"
Lin Zhengxiao shook his head and said: "We can only wait for him to appear next time."
