At the easternmost edge of Linzhou, Jianghai, adjoining the vast West Dragon Lake, lay a secluded mountain forest.
This was the very fringe of Linzhou, outside the city proper, where people rarely ventured.
Yet within this mountain forest stood a sprawling, imposing complex of buildings.
The towering walls and specially designed partitions deep in this wilderness were enough to show what sort of place this was.
This was an enormous military base.
Though it stood near West Dragon Lake, as a land-based military installation, it primarily housed Jianghai Province's two army corps.
And among them, naturally, was the Forest Field Army.
Inside the base, at the command center of the War Wolf A Division.
Two figures had gathered here. Judging by their ranks, they were clearly senior officers of the War Wolf A Division.
A man who looked to be in his forties sat in the central chair, frowning slightly as he looked at Zhang Lie before him.
"A kid about your son's age? A brand-new Forest Wolf evolution? Woodheart?"
The man smacked his lips.
"Old Zhang, you rushed all the way back from Linzhou just to tell me you'd found some incredible genius breeder?"
Clearly, the cautious man standing before him was none other than Zhang Lie, who had appeared at Woodheart yesterday.
After seeing that evolved Ten Thousand Woods Wolf, the commander of the Forest Wolf Regiment had rushed straight back to the corps without stopping.
And he had reported the matter to the officer before him.
The man did not doubt Zhang Lie. He had been Zhang Lie's squad leader back when the latter was just a newly enlisted grunt, so naturally, he knew the fellow's character. Zhang Lie would not lie or spout nonsense to him about something like this.
It was precisely for this reason
