I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

Fatty Li stood there dumbfounded.

He never imagined that the excuse he made up would actually make Li An successful.

Suddenly, Fatty Li cursed:

"Damn it—why should I care about this!"

He muttered something to himself, then turned and walked back.

What's the point of thinking so much?

As long as he clings to Wang Wei, nothing else matters.

When the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

If the tall guy can't handle it, there's still Wang Wei.

After all, he was the one who brought Li An back; strictly speaking, he was Li An's savior.

"That big idiot Zhao Lie still has to go out and arrest people." Li Pangzi's smug voice rang out from the crimson mist.

He knew that because of Li An, he didn't need to keep looking for people.

Zhao Lie, on the other hand, had to continue doing the "hard work," braving wind and rain to capture those overseas superhumans.

The more he thought about it, the more wonderful it seemed, and his steps became lighter.

Not far away, the two female superhumans came to greet them.

"Sir, are we still going?" a female superhuman asked.

"Hehe, go cultivate." Fatty Li reached out and pinched the two of them hard from behind.

The two blushed and obediently followed.

The three arrived in front of the villa.

"Wait a minute," Fatty Li paused.

"Sir, what's wrong?" The two female superhumans were taken aback.

"Go back," Fatty Li muttered to himself, "and bury the woman's body."

............

Inside the living room, Zhou Yao and the others stood in a row, looking somewhat reserved.

The commotion was quite loud; the group could see it clearly through the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows.

They witnessed everything: the suffocating aura, the icy flames, and the little girl's transformation from frail to terrifying.

"Let's eat." Wang Wei didn't introduce anyone and sat down at the table directly.

Dinner is ready, emitting an enticing aroma.

Braised pork belly, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a bowl of egg drop soup would be considered a luxury nowadays.

Li An couldn't see, but he sat down precisely.

She picked up her chopsticks and started eating like a normal person.

Zhou Yao and the others stared at each other in astonishment.

A blind little girl found a seat, picked up her chopsticks, and ate as if nothing had happened.

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhou Yao and the other women mustered their courage and sat down one after another.

Zhou Yao ate while glancing at Wang Wei and Li An, who seemed completely unconcerned, and hesitated to speak.

She hesitated for a long time before carefully speaking, "Li...Li An, you can call me Sister Zhou. I'm Wang Wei's good brother."

Li An stopped eating and turned to "look" at Wang Wei.

Wang Wei responded nonchalantly, "Just call her Uncle Zhou."

Li An turned to look in Zhou Yao's direction, and his childish voice rang out: "Hello, Uncle Zhou, I am Li An."

After saying that, she lowered her head and continued eating.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yao immediately glared fiercely at Wang Wei.

However, Li An, who had been so well-behaved just moments before, suddenly turned his gray eyes toward Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao's body stiffened, and she felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

Her gray eyes held no emotion, yet it felt as if a knife was held to her throat.

She instinctively shivered and quickly corrected herself, "Just call me Uncle Zhou!"

As she spoke, she forced a smile, picked up some food with her chopsticks, and put it into Li An's bowl: "Here, Uncle Zhou is giving you some food, so you can grow strong."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou," Li An replied softly, then lowered her head to eat again.

Zhou Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief; her back was already soaked with cold sweat.

She looked at Wang Wei again and found him calmly drinking his soup.

Zhou Yao's appetite vanished instantly.

---

After finishing their meal, Zhou Yao and the others quickly cleaned up and fled back to the next room.

Only Wang Wei and Li An remained in the living room.

"Choose one of the three bedrooms." Wang Wei was getting ready to rest.

"I choose this one." Li An pointed to the master bedroom with her little finger.

"That's mine."

"I've always slept with my mom," Li An said stubbornly.

Wang Wei was taken aback.

He almost forgot that Li An was still a seven or eight-year-old child.

"Then let's squeeze in together," Wang Wei said.

"Okay." Li An smiled.

..........

Late at night, in the conference room of the Beijing Alliance headquarters.

Chen Junjie sat upright at the front of the long conference table.

Du Wei, Liu Lao, and a group of high-ranking league officials sat on either side.

A public simulation definitively confirmed Chen Junjie's identity as a "prophet".

Even though the league's upper echelons still have doubts about him, they have no choice but to publicly acknowledge his status.

"The six bases need to be completely renovated; in addition to ground defenses, air defenses also need to be strengthened..."

Chen Junjie's voice was steady and powerful, like a hammer striking everyone's heart.

"All those with superpowers must fully assist in the base's transformation, especially those with the Five Elements abilities..."

He issued instructions one after another, clearly and unquestionably.

The alliance's top officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

Clearly, Chen Junjie's understanding of the disaster far exceeded their expectations.

A moment later, a military representative stood up: "Prophet, what level of alien beasts can our military's firearms deal with?"

Military weapons are ineffective against catastrophic weather, but they can still be useful in dealing with monstrous creatures.

Moreover, the military has kept China's stockpile of firearms largely intact.

They weren't sure how much damage they could inflict on the monstrous beasts.

Chen Junjie paused for a moment: "Land-based heavy firepower is effective against Class A disasters, but its effectiveness against Class S disasters is greatly reduced. However, it is possible to damage Class S alien beasts through high rate of fire, large-caliber ammunition, or special warheads."

He paused for a moment, then added, "By the way, all the warships and all the ammunition and firepower at sea have been moved to the base."

Everyone present was stunned.

"Not only on land, but the deep sea is even more dangerous," Chen Junjie explained. "At sea, warships become sitting ducks."

"Okay." The military representative nodded and quickly wrote it down.

"Then...what about nuclear weapons?" the military representative pressed.

Chen Junjie calmly said, "If a calamity beast were to stand foolishly in the core area of ​​the explosion, even an SSS-level monster could be severely injured or even killed."

"However," he changed the subject, "this level of alien beast is extremely fast and has a very quick reaction time. In practical applications, nuclear weapons have very limited effectiveness against SS-class catastrophe alien beasts."

The military representative's expression hardened.

Nuclear weapons are too cumbersome, and the vacuum period from launch to detonation is too long.

But the monsters won't just stand there waiting for you to blow them up.

"However, we don't need to worry too much," Chen Junjie added.

"Every so often, there will be beast tides of varying sizes. Nuclear weapons are still effective against large-scale beast tides; dense herds of beasts can't escape."

"A beast tide?" Everyone present stared wide-eyed.

This is what you call not needing to worry?

Is this good news?

"Are the corpses of the alien beasts useful to us?" Dewey, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Junjie.

If the corpses of alien beasts can enhance combat power, then a qualitative change will occur.

They fight to sustain themselves, growing stronger with each battle.

This is also one of the specialties of the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom.

Chen Junjie glanced at everyone, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"It works. And—"

He paused.

"It has a great effect."
