Transcending Worlds: I Have an Invincible Shelter

Watching the luxury car speeding away ahead, Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Wu Jun, the three mutants, all had their pupils shrink at the same time, their faces filled with disbelief.

Normally, only mutated beasts and zombies roam this place, and the survivors barely cling to life.

They never dreamed that they would find a perfectly intact car in such a dilapidated place.

When traveling, they either run on their own two legs or ride bumpy, smelly mutated beasts.

Compared to those, the car is smooth and comfortable, a truly top-notch experience.

But when the three of them looked down at themselves, their hearts sank instantly.

Last night, a fierce battle ensued, and all the mutated wolves under the command of the green-eyed mutant were killed, their corpses covering the entire ruined street.

The three mutants are now prisoners, forced to obediently follow the convoy as guides.

Tian Xiao glanced at the green-eyed man beside her, whose breathing was incredibly steady and whose steps were perfectly composed. Suppressing her doubts, she spoke in a low voice.

"Green Eyes, if we travel this slowly, isn't that lord afraid that Gong Wangji and Tu Manman will run back to the Grass base to report first?"

His green eyes gleamed with a hint of emerald light, his expression was deep, and he didn't slow down at all.

"That official is a man of deep thoughts; we cannot fathom his plans."

In fact, he had already roughly guessed the truth.

There were four people on the other side, and their target was very clear from beginning to end: the mine at the Grass outpost.

It was clear they intended to storm the mining area and wipe out everyone stationed at the stronghold.

"Too."

Tian Xiao sighed softly, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Of the four of them, only three are gifted individuals, yet they possess powerful heavy firepower."

"After this trip, the Grasse mining area will definitely be lost. I just don't know what Grasse city will do."

The three followed the Rolls-Royce Cullinan at a moderate distance, driving slowly, even on bumpy roads.

The atmosphere outside the car was tense, anxious, and oppressive, but inside the car it was a completely different story.

Lin Xuanzhi gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, her expression extremely focused.

This was her first time driving alone, and she dared not be careless in the slightest.

The vehicle speed was kept very slow, with the main focus on maintaining a stable ride.

Jiang Xiaochen and Zhao Xinyan in the back seat kept watching the girl driving through the rearview mirror.

Watching her carefully avoid the pebbles on the road, the two of them were on tenterhooks the whole time, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Only Su Yuyang, in the passenger seat, leaned back and rested with his eyes closed.

Last night, his sweet dreams were disturbed by a pack of mutated hard-haired wolves. He took advantage of the break in his journey to catch up on sleep, and his whole body was relaxed, completely unlike the tense atmosphere he had with the other three.

Fortunately, Lin Xuanzhi was driving slowly enough that even after leaving the ruined city and embarking on the bumpy, desolate dirt road, the car was not too bumpy and remained very stable overall.

And so, a brand-new luxury car carried four people, followed closely by three mutated humans who looked respectful and dared not be presumptuous in the slightest.

The group headed towards the desolate wilderness and mountains outside the ruined city, gradually moving away from the dilapidated buildings.

......

On the other side, deep within a dark, black forest.

Gong Wangji and Tu Manman ran all night, their legs were sore and numb.

They only managed to slow down once they plunged into the dense forest.

The roars of mutated beasts echoed continuously from the depths of the mountains and forests, penetrating through layers of branches and leaves, and reverberating back and forth in the valley.

The two were already used to these commotions and were only concerned with escaping for their lives.

Tu Manman stopped abruptly when the outline of the ruined city behind her was completely blocked by the mountains and forests and could no longer be seen. She bent over, supporting herself on her knees, and gasped for breath.

"I can't run anymore... I really can't run anymore! Let's rest for a bit, wait for me!"

He dared not be separated from Gong Wangji.

This mountain forest is teeming with dangerous mutated beasts. If you were to stay alone and get caught, the consequences would be unpredictable.

With a light leap, Gong Wangji landed on a thick tree branch beside him, looking down at the panting Tu Manman and offering a reminder.

"We haven't reached the camp yet. If we get caught, I won't save you."

Tu Manman glanced back at the desolate and messy mountain road behind her, wiped the cold sweat from her face, and barely managed to steady her breathing.

"Don't worry! Even if they have a car, it won't be of any use once they get into these deep mountains!"

This black forest is overgrown with thorns and there are no proper roads, only shallow tracks left by mutated beasts.

Ordinary cars simply cannot drive in.

Following Tu Manman's gaze into the distance, Gong Wangji could vaguely see the outline of a ruined city beyond the mountains and forests through layers of dark leaves. His expression was deep and unfathomable.

"If you want to rest, then continue resting."

With those words uttered casually, Gong Wangji leaped into the air, his figure darting out once more, and raced towards the Grass Camp without looking back.

Tu Manman panicked and immediately stopped resting. She gritted her teeth and kept up, her heart filled with anxiety.

As he ran, he asked, "Do you think Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Mist Fungus can stop that person?"

In his eyes, Green Eyes was a fourth-tier mutant with extremely strong abilities; Tian Xiao and Mist Fungus were only third-tier, but their abilities were strange and difficult to deal with.

Even if the three of them can't win by joining forces, they can definitely buy some time or escape successfully.

Last night, he deliberately tripped up Green Eyes, hoping to give himself and Gong Wangji a chance to escape.

Gong Wangji didn't even turn his head; his cold voice traveled through the forest to Tu Manman's ears.

"The three of them can only hope for the best."

Tu Manman felt a chill in her heart and asked doubtfully, "You don't think they have a good chance?"

"Stop talking nonsense and save your energy for the journey. Think carefully about how you're going to explain this to the guy guarding the mining area when you get back."

Gong Wangji's reminder instantly turned Tu Manman's face pale, and her mind went into a mess.

He racked his brains trying to come up with a reasonable excuse, but couldn't.

Tu Manman had no idea how to explain this to the official sent by Glass.

......

At the edge of the wilderness, on the outskirts of the Black Forest.

Lin Xuanzhi carefully steered the steering wheel, steadily avoiding the cracked gullies and protruding pebbles on the ground. After a long and winding journey, she finally reached the edge of the dense forest.

Looking up, all that could be seen was an endless black forest. Towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, their dark branches and leaves intertwining and obscuring the entire view.

On the ground, there were only messy paw prints left by the mutated wolves and broken branches.

Lin Xuanzhi gently pressed the brake, and the car came to a smooth stop. She turned her head and said softly, "Sir, we've arrived."

Su Yuyang slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand to rub his throbbing temples, and dispelled the lingering drowsiness.

He looked up and saw nothing but a deep, vast, black forest.

He glanced at the right-side rearview mirror and saw three mutants, Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Mist Fungus, standing respectfully five steps away from the car.

"At least they know what's good for them."

Su Yuyang said something indifferently, then casually pushed open the car door and stepped out.

A cool forest breeze ruffled his clothes. As they watched the figure getting out of the car, Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Wu Jun immediately became solemn and respectful.

Su Yuyang's gaze swept across the gloomy and deep forest, then landed on the three mutants in front of him, and he smiled.

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

Green Eyes felt a pang of anxiety and immediately bowed in response, displaying utmost humility.

"Absolutely not!"

Tian Xiao and Wu Jun behind him also bowed and echoed in unison.

"I wouldn't dare! I would never dare to deceive you, sir!"

Su Yuyang nodded slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, and pressed for an answer.

"How far are we from the mine?"

Last night he searched all of the three people's belongings, but the harvest was pitifully small, only a dozen or so source crystals.

The three confessed that they usually didn't carry many source crystals with them, and most of their savings were stored in the Graski base. As soon as they arrived at the camp, they would hand over all their source crystals.

Su Yuyang didn't stand on ceremony and took all the source crystals from the three mutants. However, after absorbing all of these dozen or so source crystals, the system didn't pop up an upgrade prompt at all.

This has left him in a bad mood, and what he urgently needs now is a large number of source crystals to upgrade the system.

Su Yuyang was looking forward to the system upgrade unlocking full-screen protection, allowing the invincible shield to completely cover the entire Grass camp, laying a solid foundation for subsequent mining operations and defense.

"Return to my lord!"

Green-eyed dared not hide anything and answered honestly.

"If we catch a few mutated beasts as mounts and travel at full speed, we can reach the outer edge of the mine in just half a day."

If we were to travel at a brisk pace on foot, it would probably take more than ten hours.

He knew perfectly well that the man before him possessed unfathomable power, and that the truth would come out once they reached the mine; lying would be futile. Now a prisoner, he had long since accepted reality and dared not hold back in the slightest.

After speaking, her green eyes unconsciously swept over the brand-new luxury car, and then landed on Lin Xuanzhi, who seemed unremarkable in the driver's seat.

He could tell that the girl was just an ordinary survivor.

The other two gifted individuals on the vehicle were only at the first-tier level, with weak strength.

If we disregard that unfathomable adult, these three people alone, without him and Tian Xiao even needing to lift a finger, could be easily annihilated by Wu Jun's bizarre abilities.

Noticing the shifty look in the green eyes, Su Yuyang's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly gave the order.

"Go and capture a few mutated beasts to use as mounts for the journey. The rest of you can rest where you are."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yuyang casually raised his hand and waved it.

In a flash of light in mid-air, tables, chairs, sofas, lounge chairs, and camping tents all appeared out of thin air and landed steadily on the flat open ground.

Jiang Xiaochen, Zhao Xinyan, and Lin Xuanzhi immediately stepped forward and skillfully set up a temporary camp.

This scene completely overturned the understanding of the three green-eyed people.

The three looked at each other, their pupils trembling, their hearts filled with extreme shock, almost unable to believe their eyes.

After a long while, Tian Xiao couldn't help but swallow hard, his heart filled with shock, and he almost blurted it out.

"Sir...you're out for a picnic, aren't you?"

Seeing that the green-eyed man was still standing there in a daze, Su Yuyang glanced at him sideways and asked in a cold voice.

"What? Do you expect me to serve you personally?"

The green-eyed man snapped back to his senses and, without a moment's hesitation, bowed in response.

"Don't worry, sir, I'll go right away and be right back!"

Hot white rice, coated with the rich aroma of beef, is soft and delicious in your mouth.

Tian Xiao and Wu Jun's throats, which had been dry and hoarse from years of fishy taste, were instantly soothed by this delicious flavor.

Their narrow, triangular eyes suddenly reddened. They had survived the apocalypse for so long and had never eaten such clean food.

Even in the relatively stable city of Grasse, most of the food available is mixed with impurities, has a rough and dry texture, and is nowhere near as good as this bowl of pure beef rice.

There was also a clean bottle of mineral water next to it; in the apocalypse, this was an extremely luxurious thing.

"It's so delicious...it's really so delicious..."

Tian Xiao buried her head in her food and ate heartily, her cheeks bulging. Her speech was muffled, but she was filled with genuine satisfaction and gratitude.

At this moment, all the confusion and wavering he had endured in the apocalypse vanished completely.

Only one unwavering thought remained in his mind: to follow this person wholeheartedly for the rest of his life.

The fog bacteria were just as affected as Tian Xiao.

This was the cleanest and best meal he had ever eaten.

Wu Jun tilted her head back and drank the entire bottle of mineral water in one gulp. The sweet water flowed down her dry throat, and all her fatigue instantly disappeared.

He looked up at Su Yuyang, Jiang Xiaochen, Zhao Xinyan, and Lin Xuanzhi sitting not far away, then looked down at the beef rice and mineral water that had been specially left beside him.

This one is reserved for the green-eyed one.

They are mutants, with physical constitutions and abilities different from ordinary people, but they also hope to eat clean and pure food.

Normally, they can only eat coarse mutated beast meat. Even after repeated processing and removal of impurities, it still has an inescapable fishy and gamey smell and is full of impurities.

Compared to this pure, natural, and clean hot food in front of me, it's like heaven and earth.

The two quickly finished their meals and were savoring the rare deliciousness when suddenly a series of rapid, hurried footsteps echoed from the dark forest in the distance.

The sounds of broken branches and rustling grass grew closer and closer, and soon, eight large, clean-haired mutant bulls rushed out of the woods.

The heavy hooves trembled the ground slightly, and the beast's eyes, which should have been fierce, were unusually docile at this moment.

Green Eyes leaped lightly from the back of the lead bull, landing steadily. The next moment, he sniffed lightly and immediately smelled the rich aroma of food lingering in the air.

He walked quickly to Su Yuyang's tent, bowed slightly, and spoke respectfully.

"Sir, we have brought back eight mutated bulls."

Su Yuyang glanced around, looking at the eight sturdy and incredibly resilient mutated bulls. A slight smile appeared on his lips, and he felt a growing sense of approval for this newly tamed mutant.

"Your beast-taming ability is indeed very useful."

He waved his hand casually, his tone indifferent.

"Let's have breakfast with Tianxiao and Wujun first, rest for a while, and then we'll set off immediately."

Green Eyes went out and made a round trip in just half an hour, which was extremely efficient and showed how useful his beast taming ability was in dealing with mutated beasts in the wild.

"Yes, sir!"

Green Eyes respectfully agreed and turned to walk towards Tian Xiao and Wu Jun.

Looking at his tall and straight back, Jiang Xiaochen felt a mix of emotions.

He simply couldn't reconcile the humble, obedient, and subservient man before him with the ruthless mutant who had controlled hundreds of ferocious mutated wolves and driven them to the brink of despair last night.

He suppressed his doubts and muttered to himself.

"Is he... truly willing to submit?"

Su Yuyang had been uneasy ever since he sent Green Eyes out alone to tame the mutated bull as a mount, fearing that Green Eyes might take the opportunity to run away or even turn against them.

Zhao Xinyan and Lin Xuanzhi nodded slightly, their eyes filled with the same worry, and the three of them whispered among themselves.

Just then, Su Yuyang's calm voice suddenly rang out, catching the three of them off guard.

"Perhaps."

Jiang Xiaochen froze, his heart tightened instantly, his face immediately turned tense, fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and a chill ran down his back.

"Don't be so nervous."

Su Yuyang smiled, breaking the tense atmosphere.

"Our shelter is newly established, so naturally the more people who join, the better."

The three mutants, Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Fog Fungus, didn't lower their voices, and their senses far surpassed those of ordinary people, so they heard everything clearly.

Jiang Xiaochen was still uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, he finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"But sir, aren't you worried that they might...?"

"Are you worried they'll turn against you halfway through?"

Su Yuyang picked up the DL100% compound juice beside him, tilted his head back and took a sip, his expression calm.

"I've never thought that way. Those who truly submit to me, I will treat well; those who insist on leaving, I will never stop them."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaochen suddenly understood and fully comprehended Su Yuyang's intention.

His expression turned serious, and he bowed deeply: "I would never betray you, sir!"

Zhao Xinyan and Lin Xuanzhi also put away their relaxed demeanor, their expressions turning serious, and nodded in unison.

"We will never betray our masters."

Faced with the three people's sincere statements, Su Yuyang simply smiled faintly and said nothing more.

Before long, everyone had finished breakfast and rested.

Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Fog Mushroom had a question on their minds, which they had been pondering since the meal.

What does Su Yuyang plan to do with the top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce Cullinan behind him, and the supplies nearby?

In their view, this area already falls within the territory of the Grass stronghold.

Leaving the vehicles and supplies here with only people guarding them would be extremely risky.

But when they looked at Jiang Xiaochen, Zhao Xinyan, and Lin Xuanzhi, they didn't seem anxious at all, as if they already knew what was going on and weren't worried about the matter at all.

The three became increasingly puzzled as they looked. Jiang Xiaochen and Zhao Xinyan were only first-tier talent users, and Lin Xuanzhi was just an ordinary survivor.

Even if the three of them stayed behind together, they wouldn't be able to stop the mutants and gifted individuals who coveted the supplies, and they definitely wouldn't be able to protect this batch of good stuff.

Just as the three were filled with suspicion and making their own guesses, Su Yuyang casually raised his hand slightly.

The next second, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, which had been parked in place, along with all the supplies and equipment on board, vanished into thin air before everyone's eyes.

This astonishing scene left Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Fog Mushroom completely dumbfounded.

Their eyes widened, their pupils contracted, their faces filled with disbelief, and they even paused for a moment involuntarily.

Looking at Jiang Xiaochen and the other two, although they were also a little surprised, their expressions were much calmer, and they were not as flustered as the others, which clearly showed that they had seen this kind of method before.

Green Eyes' Adam's apple bobbed violently. He remained frozen for a long time before regaining his senses. He wanted to ask something, but the words caught in his throat. A deep sense of awe filled his heart, further solidifying his resolve.

Su Yuyang glanced at the three people's shocked expressions and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"It's just talent."

talent?!

The three green-eyed people were suddenly struck by a thunderbolt, their minds reeling.

Having lived in the apocalypse for so many years, they have seen all sorts of talents and abilities, including offensive, defensive, speed-boosting, and self-healing abilities, but they have never seen or even heard of such an incredible ability as the ability to store objects out of thin air.

The awe and submission in the eyes of Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Wu Jun intensified.

Su Yuyang turned his head to look at the green-eyed man and asked seriously.

"Are you sure all these mutated bulls are usable?"

Green Eyes forcibly suppressed the turmoil in her heart, calmed her rapid breathing, and hurriedly explained respectfully.

"Yes, sir! My ability can tame mutated beasts. Once they are completely tamed by me, they will lose all their ferocity and become extremely docile and obedient, completely at our disposal."

Upon hearing the words "docile and obedient," Jiang Xiaochen, Zhao Xinyan, and Lin Xuanzhi all exchanged subtle glances, subconsciously recalling the dangerous attack they had endured the previous night.

Hundreds of mutated, bristly wolves controlled by green-eyed creatures are ferocious, bloodthirsty, and relentlessly attack, having absolutely nothing to do with being "docile."

Green-eyed girl keenly sensed the three people's doubts, and her face instantly turned a little embarrassed. She quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Last night was an accident! Now that I have submitted to you, there will naturally be no more accidents!"

As for the mutants under the command of the current master, Green Eyes was determined to gain a foothold and took the initiative to build good relations with the old men like Jiang Xiaochen.

Even if the other two are only first-tier talents and one is an ordinary person, they have been his trusted followers for a long time and are worth his initiative to befriend.

"Haha, it really was an accident."

Jiang Xiaochen tugged at the corners of his mouth, gave an awkward yet polite smile, and didn't dwell on the past.

Zhao Xinyan and Lin Xuanzhi nodded in agreement, offering polite smiles.

They now fully understood that Su Yuyang had made up his mind to formally accept Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Mist Fungus as his three mutants.

"Set off!"

Su Yuyang's smile faded, and he ordered in a deep voice, "Wujun, you lead the way."

Fog Fungus immediately gathered all her thoughts, perked up, and took the lead in leaping onto the broad back of a mutated bull, gently squeezing its belly with her legs.

The docile bull immediately set off, carrying him ahead into the dark and deep forest.

Immediately afterwards, Green Eyes and Tian Xiao also jumped onto the cow's back and followed steadily.

Su Yuyang, Jiang Xiaochen, Zhao Xinyan, and Lin Xuanzhi followed closely behind.

Eight robust, mutated bulls trampled through the dead branches and pushed aside the overgrown weeds, galloping steadily through the dark forest.

Deep in the desolate mining area, dust flies all year round, and a hazy sky hangs low over a dilapidated mountain.

Countless slaves bent over, like tireless ants, carrying heavy ore out of the dark mine.

The heavy ore weighed them down, making it hard for them to straighten their backs. They swayed with every step they took, and were exhausted all over.

High up in the mining area stood several people, dressed in magnificent robes and impeccably attentively, a stark contrast to the hunched and suffering slaves below.

A middle-aged man holding a mug, dressed in a neat and clean dark robe, stood out conspicuously in the dusty and gravelly mine.

He stood with his hands behind his back on the high place, coldly looking down at the busy servants below, his eyes full of smugness and arrogance as if he controlled everything.

I took a sip of the slightly warm black coffee, the bitter taste spreading in my mouth. My gaze slowly swept across the entire mine, the scattered old ruins, and finally encompassed the desolate land before me.

This Grass outpost, along with a dozen or so abandoned ruined towns in the surrounding area, were all Grass Mingyuan's private territory.

As for that bearded uncle, he had already thrown him into the underground mine to be a foreman.

Now, he manages everything here, from every blade of grass and tree to the minerals and the manpower.

After finishing the last sip of his coffee, he casually handed the cup to the waiter standing by.

His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt both annoyed and puzzled. He turned his head and asked in a deep voice.

"Tu Manman and Green Eyes, haven't they returned yet?"

The attendant quickly stepped forward to take the cup, took out a clean handkerchief, carefully wiped the water stains and coffee marks off the cup, then poured in hot coffee again and bowed as he handed it back.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, Tu Manman, Green Eyes, and the other two have not yet returned; they are already half an hour late."

Something's not right.

Glass Mingyuan muttered to himself, the relaxed ease in his eyes vanishing instantly, his gaze sharpening as he stared intently at the mountain road leading to the ruins of Tokyo, a strange unease slowly rising in his heart.

It's just going to a dilapidated city to deal with a few low-level talents with little strength.

Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Mist Fungus are all mutants he personally trained. Their strength far surpasses that of ordinary people of the same level. Logically speaking, they should have returned long ago and wouldn't have been delayed for so long.

What exactly went wrong?

Before his doubts could be resolved, a disheveled figure suddenly rushed out from the narrow passage at the foot of the mountain.

The man crawled out of the hole, scrambling and trembling, and it was Tu Manman who had followed him out.

The picture is full of images, completely lacking its usual elegance.

His face was covered in dust and cold sweat, he looked disheveled, and his voice screamed with extreme fear.

"Lord Glass! Something terrible has happened! Something horrific has happened!"

He rushed up the high ground, his steps frantic, and he almost fell over.

Just then, a shiny black high-end boot stomped out and pressed against his forehead, pinning him to the ground so he couldn't move an inch.

The cold boot surface pressed against my forehead, and the chill seeped into my entire body through my skin.

Glass Mingyuan's face was frighteningly cold as he looked down at Tu Manman, who was lying on the ground in a sorry state.

"Where are the other three, Green Eyes and the others?"

He already had a bad feeling; those low-level talents in the ruins would definitely not be able to harm his three mutant subordinates.

Tu Manman was pressed down by the soles of the boots, her back pressed against the cold gravel ground. She didn't dare to look up at Glass Mingyuan. Her teeth were chattering and her words were trembling uncontrollably.

"Green-eyed...we don't even know if they're alive or dead!"

"Is his fate unknown?"

Glass Mingyuan's brows furrowed sharply, the languidness in his eyes vanished completely, replaced by a surge of intense hostility.

He waved away the hot coffee that the waiter had just handed him.

The peaceful atmosphere shattered instantly, and a chilling killing intent enveloped the entire high ground.

He stared at the trembling figure at his feet, the chill growing stronger and stronger, carrying an extremely oppressive feeling.

"What exactly happened! If you dare to tell a single lie, I'll make you a slave!"

Tu Manman trembled violently, almost scared out of her wits.

He dared not hide anything any longer and quickly recounted the entire battle that had taken place in the ruins of Tokyo.

However, he deliberately concealed his despicable acts of deserting in the face of battle and secretly harming the three green-eyed people, and he didn't mention Gong Wangji at all.

In his view, the three green-eyed people were in grave danger and were definitely not going to survive.

Rather than inviting trouble upon yourself, it's better to keep it a secret and save your own life.

After listening to Tu Manman's fragmented report, Glass Mingyuan's face turned terribly gloomy.

He snatched the coffee from the waiter's hand, tilted his head back, and drank the scalding coffee in one gulp.

The scalding liquid slid down his throat, but it couldn't suppress the raging anger surging within him.

He stared intently at the distant ruins of Tokyo, his dark pupils flickering with crimson flames, and the temperature around him suddenly soared, faintly radiating a scorching fiery energy.

"Embers..."

He murmured the name, a cold, mocking smile playing on his lips, brimming with hostility.

"Hehe, it's you. My dear brother, it's been so many years, as your older brother, I've really missed you."

In his mind, in the ruined city of Tokyo, only his half-brother, Jintu, had the strength and motive to intercept and kill his subordinates; no one else had the guts or the ability.

Upon hearing the words "ashes," Tu Manman shuddered again, lowering his head even further, the fear in his heart almost consuming him.

"Full of pictures."

A cold voice suddenly rang out, like a death knell.

Tu Manman froze, then hurriedly begged for mercy with a sob in her voice.

"My lord! Going there would only be suicide! Then..."

Before he could finish speaking, a pair of eyes burning with intense heat were already fixed on him.

The scalding pressure hit him like a raging fire burning his skin, choking all his defenses in his throat, leaving him unable to utter a single word.

"E".

Glass Mingyuan's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"Take him to the ruins of Tokyo again. I want to see my dear brother whom I haven't seen in so long in person."

He emphasized the word "younger brother" heavily, each word carrying a chilling undertone, concealing years of hostility.

The attendant beside him bowed slightly, his face expressionless, and replied respectfully, "Yes, Young Master Mingyuan."

As soon as he finished speaking, E suddenly stretched out its long arm, lifted the limp Tu Manman up like an iron clamp, and took off into the air, speeding down the mountain with the airflow.

The sight of him soaring into the air completely stunned Tu Manman. A strong wind blew in his face, making it impossible for him to open his eyes.

The intense feeling of weightlessness brought on by the high-speed flight inexplicably lessened his fear by more than half.

He then truly understood that the power of the Glass family's artificial servants was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

The wind was fierce at high altitude. Glass Mingyuan stood on the high ground, looking at the vast ruins in the distance, his eyes flickering with firelight, and he murmured softly.

"So many years have passed... my dear brother, you're getting more and more restless."

He came to this abandoned land in person, originally just to observe the movements of various forces and to take control of those wavering old families.

But Jintu's actions of gathering survivors and sweeping through various strongholds in the ruins of Tokyo have completely crossed his bottom line.

The restless younger brother ultimately had to be tamed and subdued by his elder brother.

As his thoughts raced, the image of a slender young man suddenly flashed through his mind, and the chill in his eyes deepened.

"Was it the Gong family's doing to send people to infiltrate the ruins of Tokyo, or was it my beautiful aunt's doing?"

He muttered to himself, his thoughts unfathomable, then turned and asked casually.

"Is that kid from the Gong family still mining?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow beside him swayed slightly, and another figure silently emerged.

This attendant looked exactly like the E who had just left; his figure and clothing were identical, and his aura was equally cold and solemn.

The attendant bowed and stepped forward to refill Glass Mingyuan's hot coffee, then respectfully returned the greeting.

"Reporting to Young Master Mingyuan, Gong Wangji quietly left the mining area last night and went to the ruins of Tokyo City."

"Oh?"

Glass Mingyuan's tone rose slightly, and his hand tightened abruptly.

The next instant, a cluster of crimson flames shot out from his palm, instantly engulfing the entire mug.

The cup was scorched by the intense heat, and its surface faintly glowed with a reddish light.

The flames burned his palms, yet he felt no pain. His eyes suddenly cooled, and his voice was low, cold, and full of gloom.

"It seems that our obedient Tu Manman has been betting on both sides in his own cleverness."

Thinking of this, the custom-made leather boots on Glass Mingyuan's feet spontaneously combusted without wind. The crimson flames instantly engulfed the surface of the boots, which quickly carbonized and dissipated, revealing a strange foot with a unique texture and a skull-like shape.

The servant behind him immediately knelt down, ignoring the lingering heat, and conjured a wooden box out of thin air, from which he took out a brand new pair of boots.

He bent down and carefully helped Glass Mingyuan put on the clothes.

"The thing I hate most in this life is betrayal."

Glass Mingyuan stretched his ankles, feeling the fit of his new boots, and a faint smile slowly crept onto his gloomy face, but it was devoid of any warmth.

"Things made by my aunt are always the most perfect."

I'll prepare a few more pairs later, and I can also give a pair to her son, my dear younger brother... to show my appreciation as an older brother."

The words sounded gentle, but actually carried a chilling coldness.

The attendant remained silent with his head down throughout, quietly retreating into the shadows as if he had never been there.

......

Meanwhile, in the distant Black Forest, ancient trees towered into the sky, their branches intertwined, obscuring most of the gray-yellow smog.

Carrying a map full of pictures, E quickly traversed through layers of tree canopy, speeding towards the ruins of Tokyo.

On the other side of the Black Forest, thick fallen leaves covered the ground, and seven figures sat on the backs of massive, mutated bulls.

The mutated bull galloped at breakneck speed through the forest paths, its hooves seemingly flying.

The distance between the two mountain peaks vanished in an instant; the two figures, one flying and one running, were about to collide.

"Someone's there!"

A sharp, low shout instantly shattered the silence of the woods.

Jiang Xiaochen's eyes sharpened as he stared intently at the gaps between the layers of leaves above.

A blurry black shadow flashed by quickly, its movements swift and its speed absurd, disappearing into the dense foliage in the blink of an eye.

Not only him, but also Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Wu Jun, who were leading the way, noticed it at the same time.

The green-eyed man's vertical eye suddenly narrowed to a slit, his face full of vigilance, and he lowered his voice to urgently remind the mist fungus next to him.

"It's a servant!"

Fog Mushroom's heart sank instantly.

He recognized the figure as soon as it appeared.

He quickly held his breath, calmed his entire body, and made a rapid mental calculation.

The solution is to pretend not to see it, let the other party fly past from a hundred meters away on the right, and quietly dodge this time.

still...

As a result, Jiang Xiaochen's sudden shout ruined his plans.

The shout was loud and clear, piercing through layers of leaves. It not only completely exposed the location of the person in mid-air, but also put Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Mist Fungus in a dilemma.

The three of them froze simultaneously, their expressions shifting rapidly. They were completely at a loss, not knowing how to react.

The three of them had always stayed by Glass Mingyuan's side, and were the people closest to this young master.

He was very familiar with his twelve servants, and the one in front of him was none other than E, one of the twelve servants!

"How could it be number E...?"

The veins on Wu Jun's forehead were faintly visible. He gritted his teeth and frowned, feeling both panicked and confused.

He couldn't understand why Number E, who was supposed to be guarding Glass Mingyuan, was alone in this remote, dark forest.

Tu Manman, who was being carried by Attendant E, was so frightened that her face turned pale and her body went cold.

He never expected to run into the three green-eyed people here. What shocked him even more was that the mutant who was supposed to be loyal to the Glass family had actually betrayed them!

Tu Manman forcibly suppressed the panic in her heart. Before E in mid-air could make a move, she immediately pointed at the three green-eyed people and shouted quickly and urgently.

"Mr. E! It's them!"

Standing suspended in mid-air, E could see everything that was happening below.

As soon as he entered the area, he sensed the presence of the group on the ground and initially did not intend to show himself.

This time, the young master sent him to capture Jintu.

But Jiang Xiaochen's shout turned what was originally a chance encounter into an unavoidable confrontation.

At the rear of the group, Su Yuyang sat comfortably on the broad back of the mutated bull, without uttering a word the entire time.

He was relaxed, but his eyes held a knowing smile as he quietly watched the three green-eyed people who were flustered, at a loss, and in a dilemma.

Like an outsider, coldly watching a farce about to unfold.

"What do we do now?"

Fog Fungus turned her head to look at Green Eyes, her voice trembling slightly.

His mind was in turmoil, filled with conflicting emotions.

Number E was the young master's confidant and an acquaintance they had worked with before. He simply couldn't bring himself to do anything drastic to Number E.

Before Fog could come to a conclusion, the green-eyed person next to it had already made a decisive move!

With a thought, his spiritual power instantly spread out.

He sat down on the tall, muscular mutated bull, which instantly aroused its wild rage. Its four hooves slammed into the ground, sending stones flying with a thunderous roar.

Ordinary bulls are clumsy and slow, unable to climb trees at all, but under the mental control of the green-eyed creature, this mutated beast completely defied common sense.

With its strong limbs taut and its hooves as hard as knives, it firmly planted itself on the vertical tree trunk and used the force of the branches to leap swiftly towards the E-number suspended in the canopy.

Tian Xiao hesitated for only a second before immediately following suit.

He took a deep breath, suddenly looked up, and let out a furious roar that shook the forest as he looked towards the sky where E was located.

The talent [Sonic Boom] is activated immediately.

The invisible sound waves transformed into transparent ripples, which exploded with a roar, covering the entire airspace.

The E-series aircraft in mid-air suddenly swayed, its hovering posture becoming unstable for a moment, and it came to a brief pause.

But this slight disturbance was fleeting.

E quickly regained his balance, his previously calm gaze instantly turning cold, his dark pupils surging with icy killing intent.

The next second, he quickly raised his left hand, his five fingers together, and accurately locked onto the position of the entire team below.

rattttt—!

A dense and fierce barrage of fire suddenly poured down, countless projectiles flying through the air and crashing down like a torrential rain, instantly engulfing the seven people below.
