The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

Qian's furious questioning echoed in the deathly silent office, but no one could provide an answer.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on that tablet computer.

On the screen, the green dots representing the most outstanding new forces in the Dragon Kingdom resolutely went out one after another.

There was no warning, and no resistance.

It just disappeared so cleanly and decisively.

It was as if, in a place unseen by them, there existed an unseen abyssal behemoth, opening its maw to mercilessly devour these vibrant lives one by one.

The air in the office felt stagnant and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

[Li Yuanguang's vital signs have disappeared.]

Sun Miao's vital signs have disappeared.

[Liu Chao's vital signs have disappeared.]

【...】

One.

again.

The cold, electronic notification sound sent a shiver down the spines of everyone present each time it rang out.

In the blink of an eye, the green that symbolized hope on the map was reduced to a single, faint glimmer.

That was Chen Feng's life signal.

But at this moment, the green light that represented him was flashing wildly, flickering and struggling, as if it would completely disappear into darkness in the next second.

"What... happened?!"

Chi Zhengyang spoke, his voice chillingly cold.

He slowly raised his hand and took the tablet from Old Man An's hand.

The cold metal casing exudes a bone-chilling cold.

His knuckles made a slight popping sound from the force he exerted.

The sturdy metal shell groaned under his force.

"Damn it!!"

"Those damn monsters!"

With bloodshot eyes, Mr. Qian kicked the alloy filing cabinet next to him, instantly creating a hideous footprint in the cabinet.

"They went there for the sake of China! But we don't even know what they went through!"

"We must bring them back!" Chi Zhengyang said, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth.

I want to see him alive, or... I want to see his body!

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly activated the highest-level communication channel.

"Qin Feng, Lei Yue, Zhou Jian, assemble on the rooftop immediately."

"receive!"

Three calm and decisive responses came through the communicator, without the slightest doubt.

......

Rooftop.

The wind howled.

Qin Feng, Lei Yue, and Zhou Jian were fully armed and stood silently in the center of the rooftop, their figures as straight as spears.

Qin Feng carried a uniquely shaped sniper rifle on his back, the barrel of which shimmered with a faint energy glow.

Lei Yue carried a heavy greatsword that was wider than his body, and his whole body exuded a violent aura.

Zhou Jian was the simplest, with only an ancient black longsword slanted behind his back. Yet, he resembled a peerless, deadly weapon unsheathed, so sharp that no one dared to look directly at him.

Chi Zhengyang's figure appeared silently in front of them.

There was no conversation.

The steel gate behind them opened.

The deep roar of the dragon seemed to come from ancient times, piercing through space and shaking the soul of everyone.

A giant claw covered in lava-red scales suddenly emerged from the door and slammed heavily onto the rooftop!

"boom!"

The entire building trembled.

Immediately afterwards, a ferocious and majestic dragon head emerged from the gate, its dragon eyes, like molten gold, scanning the world before it.

Its enormous body broke free from the constraints of space, and its wings, which blotted out the sky, suddenly spread out, stirring up a raging wind that tore everything apart.

Lord-level pet – Blazing Sky Dragon!

Even though it's only in its growth stage, the Burning Flame Dragon's combat power is only 3+ at this moment.

But it also reveals its sharp edge!

Even elite warriors like Qin Feng, Lei Yue, and Zhou Jian, who were used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but hold their breath when they witnessed this legendary creature, which only existed in the virtual world, descend into reality.

It's so huge, so breathtaking!

The scorching heat that hit you, the terrifying pressure that it exuded, all proclaimed its power.

I didn't originally plan to let it appear in the public eye so soon; what others don't know is the real trump card.

But now, it's the only thing we can rely on.

"We must bring them back." Chi Zhengyang's voice pulled them back to reality.

The three of them immediately came to their senses and, without the slightest hesitation, leaped up and landed steadily on the broad back of the dragon.

The Blazing Dragon let out a low roar, seemingly asking about its target.

Chi Zhengyang raised his hand and pointed to the southwest.

"Holy Elephant Kingdom, assist them as quickly as possible."

"Please help me bring them all back safely."

"roar!"

The dragon let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth. With a flap of its wings, its massive body rose from the ground and soared into the sky!

It moved so fast that it even left a white sonic boom cloud in its wake.

......

ground.

The arrival of the apocalypse has caused despair to spread like a plague.

The bloody invasion of the Sakura Kingdom by the Empress's faction cast a deep shadow over everyone's hearts.

Just then, a loud dragon roar pierced the sky.

Everyone instinctively went to the window and looked up.

A huge crimson shadow tore through the clouds and flashed across the sky above the city.

What is that?

People didn't even have time to see its full appearance; they only managed to catch a glimpse of a ferocious dragon head and a pair of enormous wings that blotted out the sky.

"I...I didn't see wrong, did I? It's...it's a dragon?" A young man rubbed his eyes and stammered.

"Quick! Take a picture!"

Someone realized what was happening and hurriedly pulled out their phone.

But by the time he aimed at the sky, the enormous figure had already vanished without a trace, leaving only a torn cloud.

But this fleeting glimpse was like a bombshell, exploding in the lifeless crowd.

"Holy crap! It's definitely a dragon! I see it, its whole body is covered in red scales, exactly like the ones in mythology!"

"This must be an official operation! Our country still harbors such a hidden force!"

"I knew it, I could always trust the Chinese government."

A young man wearing glasses excitedly pushed up his glasses and shouted, "What rank is this pet? It's so big, it must be at least a leader-level one!"

"My God, when will I ever own such a cool mount!"

Strangely, despite the impending apocalypse and the hopeless environment, at this moment, all the people of the Dragon Kingdom have hope in their eyes.

......

Ten thousand meters above the sky, at the top of the clouds.

The Blazing Dragon is hurtling toward the Holy Elephant Kingdom at a speed surpassing that of any other flying machine.

The raging air currents were kept out by an invisible force field, and the dragon's back remained as stable as flat ground.

Lei Yue stroked the warm, hard dragon scales beneath him, feeling the explosive power contained within them, his eyes filled with fervor.

Qin Feng remained silent, took out his professional tools, and began calibrating his sniper rifle in preparation for the upcoming fierce battle.

Zhou Jian turned his head and looked at the southwest horizon, where there was nothing.

But an unprecedented solemnity appeared on his face.

"Captain, we're here! Please don't let anything happen to you!"

Zhou Jian's voice was low, but it clearly reached Qin Feng and Lei Yue's ears.

Lei Yue stubbornly said, "Don't worry, I trust the captain. He'll definitely be fine."

"He's our captain, Chen Feng, no one can compare!"
