When Li Zhengyang arrived at the Command Center entrance,
Zhao Yi was already standing there, with five others beside him.
Three men and two women, ranging from twenty-five to forty years old, all wore standard combat uniforms.
The aura fluctuations around each of them were at the Martial King level, though their ranks varied. The strongest was probably a Seventh-Rank Martial King.
When Zhao Yi saw Li Zhengyang approaching, he beckoned him over.
"Come here, let me introduce you. Seventh Squad. There are currently six members plus me. Today, we're taking you beyond the wall to get familiar with the situation."
The squad members all turned their eyes toward Li Zhengyang.
A burly man with a buzz cut spoke first. "This is the newcomer? He looks pretty green."
A female Martial Warrior with a ponytail beside him glanced at Li Zhengyang, her attention settling on the dull gray spear.
"Captain Zhao, are you sure this guy can go beyond the wall? That spear of his... did he pick it up from a scrapyard?"
Li Zhengyang ignored her and looked at Zhao Yi. "Which area are we going to today?"
Zhao Yi pulled up a Holographic Map from his wrist and pointed at a region marked in red.
"C7 Zone beyond the wall, about thirty kilometers from the barrier. This area was cleared once last month, but a new settlement of Sixth-Rank Demonic Beasts was recently detected moving in. Estimated number: ten."
"Our mission is to scout and confirm the numbers, then clear out whatever we can. If we encounter Seventh-Rank Martial Artists or above, we don't force a fight. Mark the coordinates and withdraw."
"What about the reward?" Li Zhengyang asked.
Zhao Yi paused. "Sixth-Rank Beast Cores sell for five hundred thousand each. Seventh-Rank ones go for two million. Whoever
