On the outskirts of City No. 0237, large flocks of flying monsters, led by a Lord-level Black Crown Golden Eagle, were heading towards the human base city.

Among these flying monsters, several had human Warriors standing on their bodies, looking cheerful. A phantom blue, disc-shaped fighter jet accompanied them.

On the ground, a primary Lord-level and two high-level Beast General Swamp Salamanders were galloping, just barely keeping pace with the flying monsters in the sky.

Sitting on the back of the Lord-level Black Crown Golden Eagle, Qin Mu looked at the people around him and felt a bit speechless.

He hadn't expected these guys to be so fanatical. Once they had their own flying monsters, their smart fighter jets no longer seemed appealing, not even to Zhang Shun, a War God expert. Zhang Shun was currently having a blast.

As they flew over a patch of city ruins, Qin Mu glanced at a deserted subway station not far away.

There, the Hive Mother was continuously analyzing more monster genes and hatching more Zerg units.

These Zerg Warriors were expanding outwards covertly along the subway lines.

Further away, a group of newly hatched Armored Giant Crocodiles, at the intermediate Beast General level, and high-level Beast General Purple Lightning Pythons crawled into Taihu Lake.

These were the first batch of Zerg amphibious monsters. They would carve out a safe area in Taihu Lake for the Swarm to hatch aquatic Hive Mothers.

The Zerg would soon welcome their first batch of aquatic units.

In the wilderness out of sight, packs of wolf-like monsters howled and roamed through the jungle, hunting other monsters and bringing them back to the Hive Mother.

The entire Swarm was growing stronger, a picture of prosperity.

The city ruins gradually receded from view. At the speed of the flying monster group, it would only take a few hours to travel from City No. 0237 to the Northern Military District of Jiangnan Base City.

This was even with the occasional stops to wait for the three galloping Swamp Salamanders on the ground.

Compared to land monsters, flying beasts found traveling much more convenient.

Jiangnan Base City, Northern Military District Camp.

Two disc-shaped fighter jets descended, and two War God experts emerged, followed by a large number of senior officers.

After taking over the camp, they issued an order that baffled all the soldiers.

The order was to clear an area in the plaza, prepare sufficient raw meat, and open the camp gates.

Furthermore, they were instructed not to attack any monsters they encountered!

Behind the camp, a military armored train was already waiting to transport special items.

After arranging matters in the plaza, the two War God experts did not go back but waited directly at the main entrance.

This scene made many people secretly curious about who was worthy of these two experts' wait.

"Old Jiang, they should be arriving soon!"

One of them looked at the sky in the distance and asked a tall, robust man beside him.

"I just asked Zhang Shun. They're almost here. By the way, Old Tong, why are you in such a hurry?"

The War God expert, addressed as Old Tong, curled his lip.

"Of course, I'm eager to see my more than a thousand flying monsters! That guy Zhang Shun actually snatched a high-level Beast General Black Crown Golden Eagle first. That originally belonged to our Northern Military District."

"How did it become yours, the Northern Military District's! Don't be ridiculous! So many people have their eyes on this batch of monsters."

"That's why I want to grab some first!"

"..."

As the two were chatting, the sound of monsters roaring echoed from the sky in the distance, and the ground rumbled as if some colossal beast was running.

"They're here!"

Old Tong said with a smile, looking at the mass of monsters flying in the sky in the distance.

As the flying monsters arrived, there was a commotion in the military camp, but it quickly quieted down.

Everyone saw that among the flying monsters, there was a military smart fighter jet flying alongside them.

Some powerful Warriors even saw human Warriors standing on the backs of several powerful monsters within the flying monster group.

As the flying monster group approached, three monsters appeared in the distance on the ground. The leader was actually a Lord-level monster!

Under the watchful gaze of everyone in the Northern Military District, the flying monster group, led by a Lord-level Black Crown Golden Eagle, slowly descended into the plaza.

On the ground, the three Swamp Salamanders galloped and entered through the opened camp gates.

"Qin Mu, let me introduce you. This is Jiang Long, the leader of Group Two of the Huashan Organization!"

In the plaza, everyone had already dismounted from the flying monsters. Zhang Shun brought Qin Mu to the two waiting War God experts and spoke to one of them.

"Hello, Group Leader Jiang."

"This is the Commander of the Northern Military District of Jiangnan Base City, Commander Tong Xuezhu."

"Hello, Commander Tong."

Zhang Shun introduced them to each other and then said to Qin Mu.

"As for this one, he is Qin Mu, who just joined our Huashan Organization!"

The few of them greeted each other, getting acquainted.

"Group Leader Jiang, Commander Tong, these monsters are being gifted to the military. I have already given them their orders. As for the rest, you can distribute them as you see fit!"

Watching the monsters feeding in the square, Qin Mu said with a smile.

"Haha, then I'll accept them on behalf of the military region," Commander Tong said with a hearty laugh.

Afterward, Qin Mu pointed to a few half-dead HR Alliance warriors in the corner and said, "These are the HR Alliance warriors who attempted to assassinate Professor Zhou. I'll hand them over to you as well."

Jiang Long glanced at the HR Alliance warriors with disgust and said, "We'll take care of these scum. You don't need to worry about the rest; we'll handle it."

As if sensing something, Davis, the HR Alliance warrior whose limbs Qin Mu had pierced, struggled and twisted his body, roaring, "I am a warrior from the HR Alliance's Polenus Family. You have no right to detain us! Release us immediately, or the HR Alliance will not let you off!"

Looking at the struggling Davis, Jiang Long showed a hint of disdain and ignored him. Instead, he looked at Qin Mu and said, "The HR Alliance? Heh, just a bunch of rats from the gutter. Now that they've been caught red-handed, many people will die! After you captured these guys, the military immediately put pressure on the HR Alliance. Just moments ago, news came that a War God from the HR Alliance responsible for pharmaceuticals committed suicide at home, publicly reported as dying in battle against monsters. This matter is very complex, with the shadows of many forces involved. You don't need to get involved; the military will handle it."

Qin Mu nodded upon hearing this, as he hadn't intended to get involved in this matter anyway. Although he had gained some strength now, he was still no match for true powerhouses.

"Let's not chat idly anymore. Let's head back to the base city! The Black God Set and the Spirit of Plants and Trees that I'm giving you will be delivered directly to your residence. Your priority now is to improve your strength. We are all looking forward to your further progress!"
