The second day of the apocalypse, and the losses worldwide were double that of the Hidden Dragon Empire.

This was because Mu Qingxue had warned the Hidden Dragon Empire in advance. Although the empire was skeptical, they had made thorough preparations.

During this mutation, some small countries were directly annihilated, with only a small number of Super Martial Artists barely surviving.

Vast numbers of mutated creatures appeared in swarms, visible everywhere.

Strange creatures hid in the darkness.

Meanwhile, high-intelligence Evil Seeds and Calamity-tier creatures were in various cities, subduing batches of mutated creatures and gradually forming massive mutated creature forces.

Qingyun High School had three generators. If all three were activated simultaneously, they would provide enough power for the entire school.

However, for now, powering just one building by activating one generator was enough.

It was a teachers' dormitory building, housing over fifty survivors.

The first thing everyone did upon getting electricity was to charge their phones.

Then they browsed Hu Yin News to see what the world had become.

Gu Qijue returned to the principal's room and lay on the bed, plugging in his phone charger. Strangely, even though he had been emitting lightning all over his body before, his phone was unaffected.

The principal's bed also had a lingering feminine fragrance.

Unlocking the screen, he saw that Mu Qingxue had sent three messages.

[Hello, what should I call you?]

[Hello, are you there? I have some things I'd like to discuss with you.]

[Hello, if you see this message, can you reply?]

Gu Qijue typed back, "Are you Mu Qingxue?"

Ding dong!

As soon as he sent the message, she replied almost instantly, "Yes, what should I call you? Mengxi said you are also human."

"Just call me Black Dragon. I'm very interested in your shelter."

Gu Qijue got straight to the point: "I'll take it over in a while, so please be prepared."

"Mr. Black Dragon, since we are all human, you are welcome to move in," Mu Qingxue replied.

Gu Qijue said playfully, "If I move in, who will be in charge?"

"Naturally, I will!" Mu Qingxue stated with certainty.

Seeing this, Gu Qijue sneered and replied, "Then there's nothing to discuss. With your capabilities, you won't be able to defend that shelter."

Mu Qingxue stated plainly, "I know it will be difficult to defend, because there are two very powerful Calamity-tier creatures in Yun City. That's why I wanted to recruit you."

"You think you can control me? Ridiculous. In this apocalypse, do you really think you're someone important?" Gu Qijue's words were very impolite.

"Mr. Black Dragon, you are so arrogant. It seems we cannot come to an agreement. But do you know that among humans, there are Ancient Martial Artists? You killed General Lin's grandson, and he won't let you go."

To be honest, Mu Qingxue's contact with Gu Qijue this time was just a test.

Even if Gu Qijue had readily agreed to join their shelter, Mu Qingxue would have reconsidered.

This man was too powerful.

If he were allowed in, no one would be able to stop him.

"I have no intention of being enemies with humans, but if they dare to attack me, I will kill everyone in the Yun City shelter... all the higher-ups!"

Gu Qijue's words were filled with malice.

This was not a joke; he would do it.

"In that case, Mr. Black Dragon, take care of yourself. I'll be waiting for you to attack."

In the central villa hall of the shelter, Mu Qingxue's mature and alluring face was somewhat grim. After replying to the message, she tried to locate Gu Qijue, only to find that he had already deleted her...

"Xiao Lan, go and call Chu Mengxi here."

"Yes!"

A woman guarding the entrance immediately left quickly upon hearing this.

"Black Dragon, is it? Don't let me locate your position, or you'll be in trouble if Lin Zhengxiao finds out," Mu Qingxue revealed a cold smile.

A few minutes later, Xiao Lan returned alone.

"Where is Chu Mengxi?" Mu Qingxue asked with a frown upon seeing her.

Xiao Lan replied, "She ran away!"

"She's truly loyal to that beast of a man, even abandoning her parents and younger sister."

Mu Qingxue's expression turned grim, and she got up to find Meng Bao.

She was going to try and recruit one of the two remaining top Calamity-tier creatures in Yun City: the Iron-backed Gorilla.

In her past life, this gorilla had cooperated with humans.

Inside the entire shelter, the Super Martial Artists recruited by Mu Qingxue were absorbing the intense sunlight.

The August weather was hot all day long.

The mutated creature corpses in the city quickly shriveled under the scorching sun.

Around 3 PM.

A combat-type helicopter landed at the Yun City shelter.

On the tarmac.

Lin Zhengxiao and a group of high-ranking officials were already there to greet them.

As the helicopter landed steadily, two people gracefully stepped out.

A man and a woman.

The man was a monk wearing a saffron robe, with an unbelievably handsome face.

The woman was a Taoist nun in Taoist attire. Though her appearance was ordinary, her demeanor was exceptional.

"Welcome, Young Monk and Lingxi Taoist Nun, to our Yun City shelter. The banquet is ready. Please, both of you!"

Lin Zhengxiao said with a hearty laugh, leading them forward.

Lingxi Taoist Nun surveyed her surroundings before her gaze fell upon Lin Zhengxiao. She asked, "How many Super Martial Artists have you recruited?"

Lin Zhengxiao led the way, replying, "We've rescued about 800,000 survivors, and recruited 750 Super Martial Artists. They are all currently training in the shelter."

"Prepare to release a news announcement and establish the Super Martial Artist Alliance! Those who don't join are enemies of humanity and must be eliminated!" Lingxi Taoist Nun said decisively.

Lin Zhengxiao replied with a fawning smile, "Yes, we've already prepared the news content. It's just waiting to be released."

These two were both Innate martial artists.

He had heard about the martial artist ranks.

They were Houtian, Innate, Grandmaster, and Great Grandmaster.

Innate martial artists could project their true qi externally and even briefly fly, making them incredibly powerful.

How could Lin Zhengxiao not show respect in front of such existences?

At the banquet, these two Ancient Martial Artists ate only plain vegetables and rice, not touching a single bite of meat or a drop of alcohol.

Lin Zhengxiao seized the opportunity and said, "A Demon Dragon has appeared in our Yun City. Last night, it killed many of our human Super Martial Artists. Its strength is immense, and if left unchecked, it could become a future threat."

"Oh? What kind of Demon Dragon?"

The handsome monk asked curiously.

"Young Monk, please take a look."

Lin Zhengxiao took out his phone and played a video from when the mutation trees were being contested.

The Gu Qijue in the video was in his strongest state, covered in Dragon Scales, with Dragon Teeth in his mouth, Dragon Horns on his head, and a Black Dragon tail. He looked exactly like a Demon Dragon.

The handsome monk watched for half a minute and nodded, "Very strong! But it's still within the range we can handle."

Lingxi Taoist Nun took the phone and watched for a few moments. "This Demon Dragon poses too great a threat. It must be eliminated as soon as possible. Do you know its current location?"

Lin Zhengxiao shook his head. "We can only wait for it to appear again."
