Led by the guards, the four arrived at the chairman's office. Standing outside the door, they could hear reports coming from inside.

A somewhat hoarse voice said, "Currently, there's a lot of Zerg activity around the city. Our team encountered an army of Zerg nearby, roughly estimated at around 50,000. However, we didn't alert them and sneaked back."

A young man's voice said, "These insects have been lurking around here for several days."

A young girl's voice: "One of our teams was discovered by them earlier, but we managed to retreat underground in time. To these insects, it seemed like their prey had suddenly vanished nearby, which is why they kept searching. Humph! These stubborn monsters, so persistent!"

The voices of the young man and woman sounded somewhat familiar to Zhang Lang, but before he could remember, the guard had already pushed open the door to report.

Inside the office stood a young man and woman dressed in ancient costumes. The man had one eye covered by an eyepatch, and the woman had one leg broken, which was replaced with an iron rod as a prosthesis.

In front of them stood a middle-aged bald man with a small mustache, followed by a tall young man wearing glasses and a white suit.

The bald head and glasses make him stand out from this world, so he must be a reincarnator from the Nineteenth Altar, probably Ikeda Matsu.

As for the young couple dressed in local clothing

"President Dugu, Mr. Francis has also returned with his team, and they've even found new survivors!"

The gatekeeper gave a brief report, then stepped aside to let Francis, Zhang Lang, and the others pass.

Upon seeing them, Ikeda Matsu couldn't help but sneer: "Survivors? Heh, without the altar master, the Twelve Altars are in a rather pitiful state!"

These words touched upon the secrets of the altar, which the native inhabitants of the world could not hear. Old Mo's expression was not good when he heard them, but he did not have the courage to refute Altar Master Ikeda, so he could only swallow his anger.

Francis stepped forward and bowed to the young man and woman, saying, "President Dugu, these two are no ordinary survivors. They were my former comrades, and are both powerful warriors no less than me and Ikeda. I hope you will entrust them with important responsibilities!"

"I advise you not to get them into trouble!" Ikeda laughed. "If you really assign them a mission of the same difficulty as ours, aren't you afraid they'll be completely wiped out?"

But before Ikeda Matsu could finish his taunts, the couple's eyes lit up, and they actually stepped forward and took Zhang Lang's hand!

"Hunter, is that really you? I knew you wouldn't die so easily!"

This scene surprised everyone. Looking at the man and woman in front of him, Zhang Lang even smiled, which was a rare occurrence for him.

"have not seen you for a long time."

That's right, this man and woman are the Dugu siblings whom Zhang Lang met when he returned to this world last time. The brother's name is Dugu Chen and the sister's name is Dugu Lan.

Last time, thanks to the guidance of the two siblings, Zhang Lang was able to integrate the Dugu family's Beng Jin (Collapse Force) mental technique, thus completing the upgrade of Beng Jin and indirectly facilitating the fusion of the celestial beings descending to earth. Conversely, the Dugu siblings also learned the Feng family's Beng Jin technique from Zhang Lang, integrating it with their own family's mental technique and greatly enhancing their strength. In the subsequent battles against the insects, they repeatedly escaped from dire straits, persevering to the very end, and even rallied a team to establish humanity's last refuge.

But the journey was fraught with hardship, and the siblings were not unscathed. Dugu Chen lost an eye, and Dugu Lan lost a leg. However, the two siblings did not give up hope and used every means possible to lead the last of humanity in their struggle for survival in the apocalypse.

Of course, relying solely on the local inhabitants wouldn't be enough to withstand the insect swarm supported by the Si tribe. Over the past six months, the altar had sent more than one group of heroes to save the world, many of whom had interacted with the siblings. However, in the Dugu siblings' memory, among all the capable individuals they had encountered over this long period, the most powerful and reassuring was still the hunter who had single-handedly resisted the insect horde!

However, the hunter from back then disappeared without a trace in the wilderness, never to be heard from again. Many people speculated that he had died in the battle against the insect swarm, so how could they not be excited now that the hero had returned!

For a moment, neither of them listened to Ikeda Matsu's report nor Francis's explanation, focusing instead on bombarding Zhang Lang with questions, which made the veteran heroes somewhat embarrassed.

"I've returned this time to completely resolve the insect problem," Zhang Lang said, looking at the brother and sister. "Therefore, I need your intelligence."

"Do you need to know the location of the insect hive? Wait a moment!" Having learned from their previous experience, they knew Zhang Lang's style of doing things and immediately went out to instruct the guards to find a map.

"Completely eliminate the bugs?" Ikeda stroked his mustache. "You're that newbie who refused to participate in the tournament last time, right? You weren't very bold during the match, but now you're quite the talker!"

Zhang Lang turned to look at him. Although his gaze was calm, it inexplicably sent a chill down Ikeda's spine, and he swallowed back the sarcasm that was on the tip of his tongue.

"This mission has two parts: protecting humanity and eliminating the insects. You handle the first part, and I'll take care of the second."

"You're too arrogant!" Ikeda Matsu, who had been intimidated by Zhang Lang's gaze and remained silent, was angered again by Zhang Lang's words. He turned to look behind him: "Hanagata, teach this junior a lesson!"

The man in the white suit and glasses walked up. He was about the same height as Zhang Lang, and his face looked refined and even somewhat delicate, but there was an undisguised murderous aura between his brows.

"You seem quite confident in your fighting skills." Hanagata raised his fist, which was as big as a casserole dish, and raised an eyebrow at Zhang Lang. "I'm not that capable, but I'm a bit confident in hand-to-hand combat. Want to try my fist?"

Zhang Lang, bare-handed, held up one finger: "I'm willing to play along."

Before he finished speaking, a halo suddenly appeared around Old Mo behind him.

"What happened?" Old Mo was also panicked, patting his body, not knowing what had happened.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Lang revealed a look of realization and then withdrew his outstretched finger.

"What do you mean?" Hanagata raised an eyebrow. "Are you looking down on me?"

Zhang Lang shrugged, looking indifferent, while Hua Xing glared angrily and swung his fist down!

Good heavens, this punch was not only fast and powerful, but also had elemental fluctuations on it, with faint sounds of wind and thunder. Even before the punch arrived, everyone in the arena could feel an unusual sense of pressure.

"Watch out!" Old Mo shouted. At the same time, a slender figure suddenly darted out from the halo around him and rushed to Zhang Lang's side like lightning.

boom!

The flower-shaped fist slammed down, the huge commotion causing the underground cave to tremble slightly, and dust to fall in a flurry.

But his fist didn't knock Zhang Lang down; instead, it was caught by a girl covered in slime and bits of flesh with one hand!
