The organization I founded has been exposed by the reborn!

Dawn Headquarters.

Within the vast, hazy space, a violent spatial ripple arose.

Zhou Tian felt a blur before his eyes, and the intense feeling of weightlessness vanished in an instant.

The next second, his feet were already on the hard ground.

He quickly steadied himself, not bothering to look around at this completely unfamiliar and mysterious space, and immediately turned to look behind him, his eyes filled with tension.

Although Su Yu had just granted Zhou Zixin access, he still couldn't put his mind at ease until he saw his sister safe and sound with his own eyes.

Fortunately, it only took two seconds.

Su Yu led Zhou Zixin into this mysterious world.

"elder brother!"

As soon as she landed, Zhou Zixin let go of Su Yu's hand, ran and jumped into Zhou Tian's arms, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Zhou Tian hugged his sister tightly, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

The brother and sister held hands and began to look around at the world before them.

The vast, gray space stretched as far as the eye could see.

The air was filled with a kind of calming dust.

In the distance, several magnificent buildings, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura, stand silently in the void.

Everything was relentlessly crushing Zhou Tian's worldview.

So this is the headquarters of Dawn.

A divine realm built in an independent, higher-dimensional space!

Just as the brother and sister were in shock.

"Boss, you're back!"

Not far away, Zheng Qiang, along with Feng Gang, Wen Xiaoxiao, and Shen Lesheng, who had just joined, quickly came to greet them.

"Um."

Su Yu nodded slightly, turned to Shen Lesheng, and said with a smile, "Welcome to Dawn. I am the current leader of Dawn... Su Yu."

Shen Lesheng stared at Su Yu in front of him, his breath catching for a moment.

He had imagined the true face of this "Dawn Leader" countless times in his mind.

Perhaps he is a reclusive master who has experienced the vicissitudes of time and seen through the changing eras, or perhaps he is a hidden giant who has been living behind the scenes for many years and wielding power in the world.

But he never expected that the leader of Dawn would be so young.

She looked even a few years younger than me.

However, the stark difference in age did not make Shen Lesheng feel contemptuous; on the contrary, it aroused a sense of awe in him.

The young man in front of me stood there calmly, without making any unnecessary movements.

But his eyes were as deep as an abyss, as if he had already seen through the rules and dimensions of life and death, exuding a sense of dominance over all living beings.

Even more terrifying was that the turbulent primal power within Shen Lesheng's body immediately retreated into the deepest recesses of his body, as if encountering a natural enemy, and dared not even produce the slightest outward fluctuation.

At that moment, Shen Lesheng realized that the leader in front of him might be even more powerful than he had imagined.

Many times more powerful!!

"This is our newest member... Zhou Tian, ​​and his sister Zhou Zixin."

Su Yu introduced to everyone, "Zhou Tian has just completed his awakening. He has awakened an S-rank ability... the Judgment Angel."

This statement came out.

The square fell into a deathly silence.

"S-rank?!"

Feng Gang's eyes widened like saucers, and he gasped repeatedly, "My goodness... what kind of day is this? First an A-rank elementalist, and now an S-rank one? Boss, your eye for talent is amazing!"

Zheng Qiang's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

Shen Lesheng looked at the ragged, seemingly teenager-looking boy, a hint of apprehension flashing in his dark golden eyes.

S-rank... Doesn't that mean they're even stronger than me?

Amidst widespread shock.

Wen Xiaoxiao's focus is clearly somewhat different from others.

She crouched down, her big, bright eyes gazing at the little girl hiding behind Zhou Tian: "What an adorable little sister!"

As she spoke, she magically produced a lollipop and handed it to him: "Here, have some candy, big sister."

Zhou Zixin glanced at her brother timidly, and seeing Zhou Tian nod, she carefully took the lollipop and thanked him softly.

At this time.

Zheng Qiang keenly noticed Zhou Zixin's unusually pale face and purplish lips: "Is this little girl... sick?"

Zhou Tian's expression darkened.

He looked down at his sister, who was clutching his clothes tightly, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally spoke frankly.

"My younger sister suffers from severe congenital heart disease."

Zhou Tian's voice was somewhat hoarse, revealing a weariness far beyond his years: "We are both orphans, and we depended on each other for survival in the orphanage in the South District since we were little. The conditions there were too poor, and we simply couldn't afford to treat Zixin's illness. Seeing her getting weaker day by day, in order to survive, I had no choice but to escape with her."

"But in Yanjing, it's incredibly difficult for two children without even legal status to survive. Plus, Zixin's special medicine is very expensive..."

At this point, Zhou Tian unconsciously clenched his fists, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

"Later, we were targeted by the Black Tiger Gang."

"They withheld the money I had saved from collecting recyclables for medical treatment, and used Zixin as leverage to control me."

"Every day I have to go out on the street and steal the quota they set. If I don't pay the full amount, I not only won't get the medicine, but I'll also get beaten up."

Zhou Tian gave a self-deprecating bitter laugh, a hint of lingering fear flashing in his eyes: "This morning... because we stole too little money, they chased us all the way into the sewers. If we hadn't met the leader, my brother and I would probably be..."

After hearing these words...

Feng Gang's eyes widened in fury. "Damn it! These beasts!"

"They even exploit sick children. Don't worry, Brother Zhou, I'll go with you later and we'll wipe out that damn Black Tiger Gang!!"

Wen Xiaoxiao's eyes reddened as she listened.

She was simple-minded and couldn't stand these kinds of melodramatic scenes about life and death.

"No need to wait until later."

Wen Xiaoxiao rolled up her sleeves and looked at Zhou Tian with a determined gaze: "I can cure Zixin's illness."

Zhou Tian shook his head with a wry smile: "Thank you, Sister Wen. But over the past few years, I've taken her to all the major hospitals in Beijing, and the experts all say it's congenital organ failure, which can't be cured and can only be treated with medication."

"Those are quack doctors, I'm different."

Wen Xiaoxiao patted her flat chest, her face full of confidence.

Upon hearing this, a look of disbelief and anticipation flashed across Zhou Zixin's pale face: "Sister...can I really recover? Will I never have to take those bitter medicines again?"

Wen Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously and turned to Su Yu for instructions.

"Do what you can." Su Yu did not stop him.

He also wanted to see if Wen Xiaoxiao's C-level healing aura could repair this congenital genetic defect.

It received approval.

Wen Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and placed her hands lightly on Zhou Zixin's chest.

"Healing and resuscitation."

A soft, emerald-green light surged into Zhou Zixin's body.

The little girl squinted her eyes comfortably, feeling warm all over.

A few minutes later, the soft emerald light gradually faded and dissipated.

Zhou Zixin's purplish lips did regain some color, but her rapid and weak breathing did not completely subside.

Clearly, the effect of "cure and recovery" is not significant when faced with congenital organ developmental defects.

Seeing this, Zhou Tian, ​​who had been standing by, quietly dimmed the expectation that had just ignited in his eyes.

He clenched his fists, a bitter feeling rising in his heart.

As expected, this congenital incurable disease is difficult to reverse even with extraordinary power.

Zhou Zixin noticed her brother's disappointment and also saw the self-blame on Wen Xiaoxiao's face.

The little girl, instead of being obedient, reached out her hands and tugged at Wen Xiaoxiao's clothes, tilting her slightly rosy face upwards to comfort her sensibly:

"Sister, don't be sad. I feel much better now, thank you, sister."

Hearing the little girl's sensible words.

Wen Xiaoxiao abandoned her usual carefree and adorable demeanor, and an unprecedented seriousness flashed in her clear eyes.

"Don't rush me, I haven't used my full strength yet!"

Wen Xiaoxiao's extraordinary inner power was fully mobilized without reservation.

"A cradle of life!"

As the clear voice fell to the ground.

boom!

An extremely vast, vibrant green source of life, like a bursting spring dam, surged outwards from Wen Xiaoxiao's center.

In the blink of an eye, an absolute life domain covering tens of meters was forcibly erected in the gray square.

Standing in the center of the domain, Zhou Zixin felt a sense of lightness throughout her body, as if she had returned to the warm bed of her mother's womb.

The intense, almost tangible life force in the air surged wildly into her body through her pores.

They no longer simply repaired the wounds, but used the power of laws to regulate her bloodline, gradually reshaping and completing her congenitally damaged heart.

Meanwhile, in the real world.

Centered around the private museum, all the flowers, trees, and plants within a radius of several hundred meters, even the edges of the ancient tree, are withering and dying at a visible rate.

The vitality they contained was forcibly absorbed by the [Life Bed] and injected into Zhou Zixin's body.

……

Time slips away bit by bit.

After half an hour,

Domain shrinkage.

Exhausted, Wen Xiaoxiao plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, but a bright smile remained on her face.

Zhou Zixin remained standing in place.

Her originally pale face became rosy and radiant, and her breathing became steady and strong; she no longer looked like a patient at all.

"I...I think I'm all better!"

Zhou Zixin touched her chest, which was no longer throbbing with pain, and tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "Thank you, sister! Thank you, sister!"

Zhou Tian, ​​his eyes also filled with tears, grabbed his sister and was about to kowtow to Wen Xiaoxiao.

This was the first time in this cold world that someone had been so kind to them, brother and sister.

"Oh dear, get up quickly!"

Wen Xiaoxiao quickly pulled the two of them up and said with a smile, "We are all members of Dawn, so we are family. There's no need for thanks among family members."

Not far away, Zheng Qiang and Feng Gang, who had witnessed all of this, exchanged a glance and both smiled sincerely.

A slight smile appeared in Su Yu's eyes.

This selfless and dedicated mutual assistance among comrades made this mysterious organization, established on the eve of the apocalypse, less cold and more cohesive.

This is what he wanted.

Thinking this, Su Yu stepped forward, looked at Zhou Tian whose eyes were red-rimmed, and said:

"Now that you're cured, you can stay here in peace."

"Thank you, Chief!"

Zhou Tian wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, straightened his back, and spoke in a firm and loud voice.

At this moment, he wholeheartedly submitted to the dawn.

Su Yu nodded gently, then raised his right hand and waved it lightly in mid-air.

hum-

A faint ripple appeared in the void, and three ancient silver rings appeared in his hand.

"Now that you have officially joined Dawn, I, as the leader, cannot be stingy."

"Consider these three storage rings and their contents as a welcoming gift for you two as newlyweds."

The words fell.

With a casual wave of his hand, Su Yu sent three storage rings that transformed into three streaks of light, hovering in front of Zhou Tian, ​​Shen Lesheng, and Zhou Zixin.

Then, it landed steadily in the palms of the three people.

"I have one too?" Zhou Zixin looked at the ring in her hand with wide, curious eyes, somewhat incredulous.

"Yes." Su Yu smiled slightly. "Once you've entered this door, you're considered one of us at Dawn. You'll naturally have a place in it."

After distributing the rings.

Su Yu looked at Zheng Qiang: "Zheng Qiang, could you explain to them the purpose of the items inside the ring?"

"Don't worry, boss." Zheng Qiang nodded.

After giving his instructions, Su Yu headed towards the training ground.

He planned to take advantage of the brief moment before Qin Xinran arrived at headquarters to open the gold-level equipment chest he had obtained from the previous mission.

……

Watching Su Yu leave.

Zheng Qiang turned around and began to explain the function of the storage ring to the three newlyweds.

"Put the ring on first, and use your mind to perceive the space inside."

Zhou Tian and the other two did as instructed, slipping the storage rings onto their fingers.

A thought subtly stirred within me.

Ripples spread through the void, and several items emitting a faint glow leaped out of the storage ring.

A clown mask engraved with a smiley face, a microchip that flashes blue light, a black teleportation stone with intricate patterns on its surface, a silver metal card engraved with star trail patterns, a heavy golden containment box, and... a golden Desert Eagle with a cold metallic luster and two spare magazines.

Zhou Tian's heart skipped a beat when he saw the golden pistol.

With lightning speed, he snatched the Desert Eagle from Zhou Zixin's hand.

This is the real deal.

He wouldn't dare let his sister use it.

"Next, I will explain the function of each of these items!"

Zheng Qiang picked up the clown mask first, his tone becoming serious: "This is a clown mask, a special piece of equipment used to conceal one's identity."

"Wearing it, you can change your appearance at will according to your thoughts. But remember, the mask only changes your face, not your height or body shape."

Upon hearing this, the three of them picked up masks and put them on their faces.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

The moment the mask touches the skin, it melts into the skin like a liquid.

A faint sound of dislocation emanated from the facial bones of Shen Lesheng and Zhou Tian.

In just a few seconds, their original appearances were erased, turning them into two generic faces that were completely unremarkable.

Meanwhile, Zhou Zixin's petite and adorable face suddenly shifted and transformed into Zhou Tian's appearance.

She curiously touched her face, ran to a smooth black stone pillar to use as a mirror, and kept making faces and giggling.

Seeing the smile on his younger sister's face, Zhou Tian felt a warmth in his heart.

He noticed that his sister's personality became much more lively after she recovered.

Only now does she seem like a carefree little girl who fits her age.

And all of this was given by Dawn.

Zhou Tian clenched his fist, a resolute glint flashing in his dark golden eyes.

He secretly vowed to dedicate his life to protecting the dawn.
