The organization I founded has been exposed by the reborn!

Watching the Hongqi sedan with the special license plate drive away, Su Yu withdrew his gaze.

Instead of going to the garage to drive his SUV, he turned around and headed towards the subway station not far from the villa area.

the reason is simple.

Today is a workday, and it's currently the busiest time of the morning rush hour in Yanjing.

The journey to the abandoned bus station in the southern suburbs is long, and if you drive, you'll spend most of your time stuck in traffic.

By taking the subway, he could try his luck among the massive crowds and see if he could find any potential Awakened Ones with high-level aptitude.

After all, the daily tasks for recruiting members with three stars or higher have already been refreshed in the system taskbar.

Moreover, the tissue needs more blood.

……

Enter the subway station.

What hits you is the crowding and noise unique to the city's morning rush hour.

Hurried commuters, students with backpacks, and workers munching on their breakfasts... tens of thousands of people are crammed into a relatively enclosed underground space.

Su Yu squeezed into a carriage with the flow of people and found a corner to stand in.

He closed his eyes, seemingly to rest, but in reality, he had already activated the system's personnel radar detection.

[Ding! Potential Awakened One detected nearby!]

Name: Zhang Qiang. Qualification: 1 star (Cannon Fodder level).

Name: Li Li. Qualification: 1 star (Cannon Fodder level).

[Name: Wang Gang. Aptitude: 2 stars (mediocre). Predicted Awakening Direction: Basic Physical Enhancement.]

……

As the train moved forward, a dark blue notification box kept popping up on Su Yu's retina.

In this carriage packed with hundreds of people, the probability of an awakened person appearing is actually not low; roughly one person with awakening potential can be detected out of every few dozen people.

However, Su Yu remained unmoved by the uniform 1-star and 2-star reviews, his eyes showing not a ripple of emotion.

His positioning for "Dawn" is very clear: quality over quantity!

Four days later, what arrived in reality was not some zombie that only knew how to physically tear apart things, but a rule-based monster with all sorts of bizarre killing patterns.

Awakened individuals with 1-star or 2-star aptitude are not much different from ordinary people in the face of terrifying vengeful spirits.

Recruiting such cannon fodder into the organization not only wastes the organization's resources and points, but may also hinder headquarters in case of real danger.

Only those with a qualification of three stars or higher are worth training.

As for a five-star talent like Qin Xinran, they are extremely rare and hard to come by.

The train roared through the dark underground tunnel.

After passing through several major stations, people got on and off, and the passengers in the carriages changed batch after batch.

Just when Su Yu thought this early morning bus trip was going to be a wasted trip.

"Ding!"

[High-potential candidates meeting the criteria have been detected!]

A crisp system notification broke Su Yu's calm.

Su Yu opened his eyes and looked in the direction indicated by the system's marker.

Two meters away from him, next to the car door, stood a very burly, bald man.

Even in a loose-fitting sports jacket, his explosive muscles, seemingly about to burst out of his clothes, couldn't be hidden. He was as strong as an ox, clearly the kind of fanatic who treated fitness as a career.

[Name: Feng Gang]

[Potential Rating: 3 stars]

[Predicted Awakening Direction: Blazing Yang Blood. Specializing in physical cultivation of blood and qi. After awakening, every drop of blood in his body will be sublimated into the most powerful and yang "Blood of Blazing Yang," making his muscles and bones resemble a burning furnace during battle.]

[Note: This person is resilient, martial, and combative, making them a qualified close-combat vanguard.]

"Blazing Qi and Blood? That seems like a pretty good ability." Su Yu nodded to himself.

However, he did not act rashly.

The train carriage was crowded and noisy. If he simply walked over, pulled out an invitation, and grabbed the man, saying, "Brother, I see you have extraordinary potential. Join our Dawn Organization and save the world!"

It's estimated that Feng Gang would directly regard him as a mentally ill person selling pyramid schemes.

Even if the other party actually believes it and sends out the invitation in public, it will inevitably expose the organization.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yu pretended to lose his balance as the train swayed, and subtly took two steps toward Feng Gang.

And just as the two brushed past each other...

With a slight flick of his left wrist, Su Yu conjured up a black "Dawn Invitation"—a symbol of death and law.

Immediately afterwards, he used his hand speed to quickly stuff the invitation into the side pocket of Feng Gang's sports backpack.

The whole process went smoothly, and no one noticed anything unusual.

After doing all this, Su Yu retreated back to the corner.

The seed has been sown. As for whether this bald, muscular man will accept the invitation after seeing it, that depends on his own fate.

……

As the train continued its journey south towards the suburbs, the number of people in the carriages gradually decreased.

Su Yu's luck seemed to explode at this moment.

At the next dozen or so stations, the system radar sounded two warning beeps in succession!

The first one was a young man sitting in a seat, wearing thick black-rimmed glasses, thin, and looking like a senior programmer.

Name: Zheng Qiang

[Potential Rating: 3 stars]

[Predicted Awakening Direction: Mechanical Brain Domain (Auxiliary Side). After awakening, the brain will gain computing power similar to a supercomputer. It will possess the ability to memorize and quickly analyze electronic devices and mechanical blueprints.]

[Note: This target has extremely weak combat capabilities, but is an indispensable logistical advisor for rebuilding communications and developing supernatural equipment in the post-apocalyptic world.]

The second one is a cosplay girl wearing a gorgeous Lolita dress, with pigtails, an extremely sweet and cute appearance, and humming a song while wearing headphones.

Name: Wen Xiaoxiao

[Potential Rating: 3 stars]

[Predicted Awakening Direction: Healing Aura (Support/Healer Side). After awakening, it can gather the pure life force of heaven and earth to heal fatal injuries to itself and teammates, and even dispel low-intensity supernatural curses.]

[Note: The battlefield medic is the most scarce resource in a doomsday team, and their survival value is extremely high.]

Looking at these two completely different, yet extremely rare, support-type awakeners, Su Yu did not hesitate and followed suit.

He used his speed to slip the two black invitations into Zheng Qiang's laptop bag and Wen Xiaoxiao's pink rabbit backpack, respectively.

If a team wants to grow bigger and stronger, having only henchmen like Qin Xinran and Feng Gang is not enough.

Zheng Qiang can serve as the logistics director for equipment research and development in the future; while Wen Xiaoxiao, a rare "nanny" type, can significantly reduce the casualty rate of the organization's members.

This subway ride was truly rewarding.

Su Yu stood by the car door, looking up at the route map with flashing red and green indicator lights above.

His gaze swept past each station, finally settling on the final stop of the journey—the South Suburb Bus Station.

"Next, it's time to meet that real E-level vengeful ghost."

A cold, fierce fighting spirit flashed in Su Yu's deep eyes.

……

at the same time.

The headquarters building of the Qin Group in downtown Yanjing.

Despite being a business behemoth with a market value of hundreds of billions, a sense of oppression permeates the Qin Group today.

Inside the chairman's office on the top floor, which covers several hundred square meters.

The ringing of telephones, the clatter of keyboards, and the reports from data analysts blended into a suffocating cacophony.

A dozen or so of the Qin Group’s core financial executives, risk assessors, and overseas procurement managers were standing in front of their desks, sweating profusely, reporting on the progress.

"President Qin, we've already used all our connections to forcibly acquire three tons of gold reserves from the four major domestic banks! But the remaining two tons are simply beyond the capacity of the domestic market to meet!"

"President Qin! Several of the largest jewelry chain stores in the country have responded that we have emptied their gold bar inventory. They are now frantically spending money to buy back jewelry gold from retail investors, but the progress is too slow. It is impossible to gather another two tons within three days!"

Listening to her subordinates' report, Qin Xinran, sitting in the boss's chair, had a face as cold as a block of ice.

As soon as she arrived at the company this morning, she issued the order that required all senior executives to follow.

No matter the cost, no matter the price, we must acquire five tons of physical gold within three days!

The executives below were full of doubts and couldn't understand why the chairman would suddenly hoard precious metals that only held their value in prosperous times but currently had extremely low profit margins, and even sold off several highly profitable overseas funds for this purpose.

But under Qin Xinran's absolute authority, no one dared to raise any questions. The entire group's cash flow was cut off, and they went on a rampage in the gold market.

"Can't they gather enough supplies domestically?"

Qin Xinran stood up, placed her hands on the desk, and stared intently at the overseas purchasing manager in front of her, her eyes, which had become even deeper and colder because of the awakening of [Shadow Overlord].

"If it doesn't work domestically, then go overseas! Go to European conglomerates, go to Middle Eastern royalty! I don't care what channels you use!"

"If we don't have enough funds, we'll sell our stakes in our two North American energy mines at a discount! I only want the physical assets! No matter the market price, I want them all!"

"Remember, I'm only giving you three days. If these five tons of gold aren't laid out before me in three days..."

"All of you, pack your bags and get out!"

"Yes, Mr. Qin! We'll get on it immediately!"

The executives, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, wiped away their cold sweat and practically fled their offices to continue making those transoceanic calls.

Looking at the empty office.

Qin Xinran slumped into the boss's chair, rubbed her throbbing temples, and let out a long sigh.

"Five tons of gold... Chief, you've really given me a huge problem."

Qin Xinran gave a wry smile.

But there was not a trace of complaint in her eyes.

Because in her right hand, a wisp of dark, deep shadow energy, like a docile pet snake, coiled around her fingertip, radiating a terrifying power capable of tearing apart the laws of reality.

What does money matter?

As long as she can survive in this impending terrifying apocalypse, she wouldn't even blink an eye if it meant sacrificing the entire Qin Group!
