There were only 24 hours left until the scheduled outbreak of war.
Hyperion Company's Shell Evasion Plan had entered its final stage.
It had essentially integrated the company's core components with the train. Once outsiders were detected, the train would be activated immediately, transporting the company's most important assets away through the Underground Station while leaving only the company's shell behind.
However.
Han Dong had released a large number of Metal Zombies in a wide net as scouts, yet they had not detected the arrival of any intruders.
He had even deliberately dispatched a fairly capable zombie unit to move rapidly toward Marcus City.
Yet they had not encountered any hostile forces along the way... It was as though the enemy did not care at all about the Emperor Slayer, who had gone completely silent, and had instead hunkered down to carry out some secret plan.
Such abnormal behavior made Han Dong feel even more uneasy.
"The Emperor Slayer is a King-level Combatant, a crucial bargaining chip that could determine victory. Are they just giving him up? Or do they believe he can escape in time... Or do they have an even more important trump card in their hands?"
Han Dong had repeatedly asked Little Yellow to verify the situation in the secret chamber. There were no signs of escape whatsoever, not even the slightest parameter fluctuation related to "struggle."
That unnatural calmness bred unease.
Still, there was good news as well.
After devouring seven fairly powerful Ancestral Bodies through the abyss, Green had finally completely restored her injured soul and reappeared in an almost "brand-new" state.
Naturally, she had crawled out through one of the holes in Han Dong's body.
Demps' body, which had been split in two, had also fully healed, and his vital signs had completely stabilized.
