The organization I founded has been exposed by the reborn!

With the help of his younger sister Zhou Zixin, Zhou Tian leaned against the wall with difficulty.

Looking at his younger sister's tear-streaked face, Zhou Tian first vigorously wiped the mud off his hands with the dirty hem of his clothes, and then gently wiped away the tears on his sister's cheeks.

He smiled and comforted us, "Don't cry. Those rats have been driven away, haven't they? We're safe now."

Zhou Zixin shook her head, large tears streaming down her face: "Brother, the way you were glowing just now was so scary... I'm worried about your health."

Although Zhou Zixin is young, she is much more mature than her peers.

She knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

The brother suddenly gained this incredible and magical power, and he will inevitably have to pay an unimaginable price.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking about?"

Zhou Tian gently ruffled his sister's hair, puffed out his chest as if to appear relaxed, and assured her firmly, "I feel incredibly healthy right now, absolutely nothing's wrong. Don't worry, with me here, no monster will be able to bully you again."

"Tap, tap, tap."

Just then.

A series of steady footsteps suddenly rang out in the empty, dark sewer.

Zhou Tian tensed up, almost instinctively shielding his sister behind him, and warily staring at the dark passageway from which the sound came.

A tall, slender figure walked out of the darkness, stepping through the dirty water on the ground.

"Don't be nervous, it's me."

Su Yu stopped in his tracks, his tone calm.

Upon seeing the person's appearance, Zhou Tian was initially taken aback, but then his tense body slowly relaxed.

He recognized him.

The young man in front of me was the same mysterious person who had given me the invitation in the alley just a few hours ago.

"It's you..." Zhou Tian swallowed, his voice still a little weak.

"it's me."

Su Yu took a few more steps forward and said, "Let's get to know each other formally. My name is Su Yu. I am the fifty-first leader of the Dawn Organization."

"breaking Dawn……"

Zhou Tian's dry lips moved slightly as he murmured the unfamiliar and mysterious name repeatedly.

Everything he experienced today was so bizarre and unbelievable that even now, he feels like he's dreaming.

Zhou Tian took a deep breath, looked up at Su Yu, his eyes filled with undisguised inquiry and confusion, "What exactly is that black letter you gave me?"

"Why did that power suddenly surge through my body after I tore it open?"

"And...why did you choose me?"

Faced with the boy's barrage of questions, Su Yu did not answer immediately.

His gaze slowly swept over the charred remains of giant rats scattered all around, finally settling on the brother and sister who depended on each other for survival. His dark eyes revealed a sense of vicissitude that seemed to see into the future.

"I chose you because you have the potential to survive in this cruel world."

Su Yu's voice wasn't loud, but it echoed clearly in the empty sewers, "Zhou Tian, ​​don't think these mutated rats are just a coincidence. This is only the beginning of everything."

"This world is about to change."

"In three days at most, the bizarre will fully descend upon reality."

"At that time, evil spirits will roam freely, the existing social order will completely collapse, and the human world will become a bloody hell."

"In a post-apocalyptic world without laws, ordinary people will only become food for monsters."

"You should feel fortunate. Fortunate that you tore open the invitation and awakened your power."

"Otherwise, let alone protecting your sister, you won't even survive the first night after the strange event occurs."

Zhou Tian fell silent.

The stench and lingering heat of the sewers constantly reminded him of what he had just experienced.

If it weren't for the person in front of me, if it weren't for that invitation.

He and his sister have probably already become food for the rats.

He knew very well that the person in front of him had no reason to lie to him.

"As for the invitation you have..."

Su Yu's gaze fell on Zhou Tian's slightly immature face, his tone calm yet profound: "It is not a divine object that bestows power out of thin air, but a medium. Its true function is to peer into the desires deep within your soul and use them as a key to activate the potential within your body in advance."

Su Yu paused, then said firmly, "That power originally belonged to you; the invitation merely provided you with an opportunity to control your destiny."

Hearing this, Zhou Tian nodded as if he understood, but for some reason, he believed Su Yu.

Zhou Tian glanced at his younger sister, whose breathing was gradually stabilizing in his arms, and then looked up at the mysterious man in front of him.

He took a deep breath and asked the question he most wanted to know:

"Then... what exactly is 'Dawn'? And what... is your purpose?"

Upon hearing this question, Su Yu stood still for two seconds.

A chilling wind blew through the depths of the sewers, ruffling the hem of his clothes, while the sound of water dripping from distant sewage pipes echoed continuously in the empty water collection hub.

Su Yu raised his head slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the thick concrete dome, staring at the vast sky above shrouded in night.

"The long night is coming, and I am the dawn."

Su Yu's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an indescribable sense of vicissitude and authority, resonating through the dark passageway.

"To quell the endless darkness and reforge the dawn of human civilization. This... is the oath and mission of 'Dawn' that has been passed down for hundreds of years and has never been broken by dozens of leaders."

Su Yu turned his gaze back to Zhou Tian, ​​a captivating light gleaming in his eyes: "And I, as the fifty-first leader of Dawn, in this bizarre apocalypse, only wish to... preserve the last flame for humanity."

Shocked.

An unprecedented shock struck Zhou Tian's soul like a thunderbolt.

These few words, coupled with Su Yu's unfathomable aura, instantly pieced together a magnificent yet tragic picture in the young man's mind—

It was a savior organization hidden in the shadows of human history.

For centuries, while ordinary people enjoyed peace under the sun, it was this group of people who silently fought against unspeakable terror in the deepest darkness, using their blood and bodies to support civilization.

And I, of all people, have the honor of becoming a part of this great epic!

Zhou Tian wanted to ask something else.

Zhou Zixin, who was hiding behind him, peeked out and asked timidly, "Big brother... what are the requirements for joining the organization? Will it restrict my brother's freedom?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yu glanced at the little girl and softened his tone: "Dawn only needs like-minded comrades. As long as they don't betray us or reveal the organization to the outside world, there are no restrictions."

Upon hearing this...

Both Zhou Tian and Zhou Zixin finally relaxed completely.

Su Yu's gaze lingered on Zhou Zixin for a moment.

next second.

A system notification popped up in front of him...

[Ding! Magnetic field fluctuations detected from a high-potential individual!]

Name: Zhou Zixin

[Potential Rating: Four Stars]

[Predicted Awakening Direction: Level A - Telepathy.]

[Ability Profile: A rare psychic variant ability. Upon awakening, it allows the user to interfere with, read, and even control the thoughts and actions of others. When the mental strength is sufficiently powerful, it can even forcibly strip others of their consciousness, turning them into obedient puppets.]

[Note: Those with pure hearts are often able to withstand the most terrifying mental storms.]

Su Yu's heart stirred.

This seemingly frail little girl is actually a high-potential awakener!

Moreover, it possesses the powerful ability of telepathy.

This comprehensive psychic ability, similar to that of "Professor X," has immeasurable strategic value in future intelligence gathering and control wars.

but.

Su Yu did not immediately send out invitations, but instead subtly shifted his gaze away.

The brother and sister had just lowered their guard; if an olive branch were extended now, it would undoubtedly only intensify their suspicions.

There's plenty of time ahead. Now that the older brother has joined the organization, it's only a matter of time before the younger sister does too.

Su Yu snapped out of his thoughts, his gaze sweeping over the mangled giant rat skeletons and charred marks scattered on the ground, and asked, "Are there many mutated rats here?"

Zhou Tian's expression hardened, and he nodded emphatically: "A lot. Densely packed, you can't see the end of them. There are at least tens of thousands of them. But after I killed that rat king, the rat swarm collapsed and fled."

Su Yu fell into deep thought.

Tens of thousands of mutated giant rats infected by strange energy.

Although the Rat King is dead, this huge swarm of rats remains a threat.

If they continue to grow, they will be an uncontrollable bomb for the entire city of Yanjing.

Yanjing is the headquarters of the dawn.

Su Yu could not tolerate such uncontrollable variables lurking in his territory.

"I need to get rid of these mutated rats."

Su Yu looked at the brother and sister: "Are you going to rest here and wait for me, or come with me?"

Zhou Tian glanced at the dark sewer openings around him, feeling somewhat worried.

Who knows what might be lurking in the darkness of this godforsaken place?

"We'll go with you." Zhou Tian made his choice decisively.

Right now, staying by the side of this unfathomable leader is the safest option.

Su Yu nodded without saying a word.

He turned around and, leading the brother and sister, continued deeper underground, following the direction the rats had fled through the tunnel.

……

The pipes reeked of a foul stench, and the water was deep and dark.

Su Yu walked at the forefront, unleashing his powerful mental energy in full force, like an invisible giant net that controlled every movement within a radius of hundreds of meters.

They hadn't gone very far.

From the darkness ahead came a series of squeaking and scratching sounds.

The end of the beam of light.

Hundreds of mutated giant rats are gathered at a fork in the road, tearing each other apart.

When they sensed the presence of humans, their noses twitched slightly, and their scarlet eyes instantly locked onto the three of them.

"Be careful!"

Zhou Tian shouted a reminder, instinctively trying to mobilize the holy light within his body. However, he was severely exhausted, and the wings of light only flickered once before dissipating.

Zhou Zixin was so frightened that she trembled all over and clung tightly to her brother's clothes.

Faced with a swarm of rats surging in like a tide.

Su Yu remained calm and didn't even pause in his steps: "Don't worry, these things can't hurt me."

The words fell.

Su Yu raised his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and rhythmically tapped the air in front of him.

The next moment, the [Dance Resonance] skill stripped from the red shoes was instantly activated.

As Su Yu tapped his fingertips, a rhythmic sound echoed through the narrow pipe.

"Da...da da...da."

The next instant.

Under the extremely shocked gazes of Zhou Tian and his sister.

A bizarre scene appeared.

The mutated giant rats, which were charging wildly and baring their fangs, suddenly froze the moment they heard the knocking sound.

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

The sickening cracking of bones sounded like a barrage of firecrackers.

The hundreds of giant rats at the forefront had their limbs twisted and broken in the opposite direction under the regular pulling.

"squeak--!"

A large number of giant rats howled and collapsed in the sewage, rolling around frantically, but could no longer take a step forward.

Su Yu stood in the center of the pipe, raised his right arm, and slightly spread his five fingers in the air.

"boom!"

A blinding purple flash of lightning instantly illuminated the entire sewer.

Dozens of thick, purple lightning bolts, carrying an aura of utter destruction, erupted from Su Yu's palm, transforming into a net of lightning that mercilessly crushed the fallen rats.

Wherever the raging purple lightning passed, the extremely high temperature and domineering lightning source instantly ignited the air!

The struggling mutated rats didn't even have time to scream before they were reduced to ashes the instant they touched the lightning...

The violent purple light slowly subsided and dissipated after a few seconds.

The narrow passageway fell silent once more.

The original mutated giant rat had completely evaporated in the sewage, leaving not even a bone fragment, only a thin layer of black ash floating on the surface of the water.

The only remaining scent in the air was the pure smell of ozone, and faint purple lightning crackling and leaping on the water's surface.

Sold out instantly.

A kill that can be achieved effortlessly.

"Let's go. Keep looking."

Su Yu lowered his hand, his tone as calm as if he had simply swatted a few mosquitoes.

Zhou Tian and Zhou Zixin behind them were completely dumbfounded.

Zhou Tian swallowed hard, looking at the charred remains on the ground, his heart filled with turmoil.

He originally thought that the holy light power he had awakened was strong enough, but Su Yu's purple lightning attack just now made him realize that the leader's strength might be even more terrifying than he had imagined.

The three continued along the pipe.

In the time that follows.

Su Yu, along with his brother and sister, swept through several key areas of the sewers.

When faced with a large swarm of rats, Su Yu would use lightning to cleanse the ground.

When encountering a few giant rats hiding in the distance, Su Yu released the pale [Frosty Yin] spell.

As the cold mist swept by, the mutated rats instantly turned into stiff, black ice sculptures, their life force extinguished.

On several occasions, the giant rats that were hiding in the shadows preparing to launch a sneak attack had just poked their heads out when they were instantly pierced by rusty iron chains that suddenly shot out from the void, and their life force was sucked out.

Purple lightning, frost, iron chains, and invisible bone-breaking.

A myriad of extraordinary abilities, each with its own unique style, are at Su Yu's disposal with ease.

Zhou Tian's initial fear and shock gradually turned into numbness and worship.

He finally understood why this seemingly young man was able to become the leader of the current generation of 'Dawn'.
