Early the next morning, gentle sunlight draped the base on Dream Island in a thin veil of gold.
In that peaceful, hopeful moment, nearly ten thousand people had already begun their morning training.
Their strides were vigorous and their movements perfectly synchronized as they exercised,
while loudly reciting passages from the Ideological Program.
Their impassioned voices echoed above the base, instantly bringing the vast grounds to life.
At that moment, Kakarot and Lina were sitting in the meeting room, accompanied by the dozens of people formerly controlled by Zhebo who had chosen to stay on Dream Island.
Their expressions were calm, but their eyes held determination and anticipation.
The meeting room was quiet and solemn, with only the occasional sound of soft footsteps.
Before long, Shu Laibao hurried into the meeting room with three people.
His trademark smile was on his face, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.
He strode up to Kakarot and Lina and said,
"Sister Lina, Kakarot, these three beside me are the other senior officers."
"Hello, everyone. I'm Chiling, a mixed-blood red fox mink, and the organization's chief adviser.
"I also lead the ideological education of our comrades."
Chiling's voice was gentle and resonant, like a stream murmuring through the mountains.
She had vivid red hair, and the pair of furry fox ears atop her head twitched slightly,
while a fluffy fox tail swayed gently behind her as she moved.
She had a graceful figure, and her long red robe accentuated her allure,
yet her tone was calm and steady, and her eyes shone with reason.
Smiling, Chiling sat close beside Lina. The two exchanged smiles; clearly, they had known each other for some time.
"I'm Radis, from the Leopard Mink Tribe. I'm in charge of the organization's combat forces."
Radis's voice was deep and powerful.
