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

At the Southwest Base, countless people waved goodbye with tears in their eyes.

Even after those people had completely disappeared into the horizon, their waving hands still did not fall.

Everyone understands that some of them may never return after this journey.

In the corner, an old man with gray hair stood there, his cloudy eyes staring at the sky, his expression complicated.

His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back.

"Silly boy, it's just the two of us left in our village. Even if you don't go, you'll still be listed separately in the family genealogy."

He was talking to himself, his voice hoarse.

But after saying that, he looked regretful: "What's so good about awakening superpowers... You must not get into trouble. You're the only son left in our Gang family."

He paused, then lowered his voice even further: "The prophet is really something, he's still just a child..."

No one responded to him.

The people around were all looking at the sky, silently shedding tears and praying in silence.

On the other side, the boy carefully wiped his mother's tears with his sleeve.

"Mom, why are you crying?" The little boy looked puzzled, his face full of confusion. "Dad and the others went to fight monsters. Dad is a great hero!"

The woman reached out and hugged the baby boy, resting her chin on the top of his head, tears silently streaming down her face.

"Don't cry, Mommy." The little boy patted his mother's back awkwardly. "Daddy will be back soon. And I'm here for you too. I can protect you."

However, the woman cried even harder.

Southwest Base, underground city living area.

Wang Wei remained languid, half-lying on the ground with messy hair and smeared ash on his face, looking just like an ordinary person struggling to survive underground.

But at this moment, a hint of fierceness appeared in his eyes.

Chen Junjie's plan is to gather all SSS-level awakened individuals worldwide and use humanity's strongest power to severely damage the calamity, thereby seizing the initiative.

However, under his guidance, the alliance did not mobilize many strong individuals.

At the Southwest Base, Tian Lao and other core members remained completely inactive.

The situation at other bases was much the same.

To put it bluntly, most of those who truly responded to Chen Junjie's call were ordinary people who awakened later in life, as well as a small number of marginal figures in the alliance.

Those who hold high positions and benefit from the status quo value their lives highly.

They won't go to the front lines.

They just hide in the back and wait for others to die.

Wang Wei's lips curled slightly upward, but there was no mockery in his smile, only a cold indifference.

It was the same in the previous life: those who shouted the loudest hid the farthest, and those who rushed to the front died the fastest.

In this life, there is a different prophet and a different group of people, but humanity cannot be changed.

However, this would greatly hinder Chen Junjie's plans.

However, at that moment...

The little girl next to Wang Wei suddenly shouted, "Big brother, look!"

Wang Wei looked up.

The electronic screens in the underground city living area lit up one by one.

The screen displays live video feed.

Above the Dragon Kingdom, from the Southwest Base, Northeast Base, Shanghai Base, Tianhai Base, and Jiangnan Base, groups of figures are speeding towards the capital!

At the same time, broadcasts blared from all major bases:

"This disaster relief effort, after unanimous approval from the alliance and overseas organizations, will utilize 36,000 satellites for imaging..."

"Wow—" Exclamations rang out from all the bases.

Thirty-six thousand satellites.

All of the world's satellite resources were used in this battle.

Wang Wei's expression shifted slightly.

This is a very risky move.

If the campaign is successful, it will inevitably boost human confidence.

But if they fail, the hopes that humanity's various bases have just begun to recover will be extinguished once again.

The broadcast continued:

"The 500,000 SSS-level superhumans worldwide were the main force in eliminating the monstrous beasts. They are humanity's heroes, the pillars of humankind! They should not remain unknown. They should be remembered forever by all of humanity!"

"Live broadcast simultaneously on 36,000 satellites worldwide. Let all of humanity remember our heroes."

The little girl stared intently at the electronic screen, her eyes filled with envy: "They're all so amazing!"

In the video, those SSS-level powerhouses were enveloped in various colored supernatural lights as they flew through the air.

However, because the speed was too fast, even satellite images could not clearly show the face.

Various colored lights, like shooting stars, streaked across the sky.

At various bases, countless people looked up at the electronic screens, completely silent.

........

Outside the city defenses of the capital, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

It didn't fly in from afar, nor did it fall from the sky—it appeared out of thin air.

It was as if it had emerged from the void.

Old Liu.

"Old Liu, you're back!"

"Old Liu!"

"Old Liu..."

On the city wall of the capital, a group of superhumans stationed there spoke with delight.

While surprised, they also showed shock.

They didn't sense any supernatural fluctuations; Old Liu simply appeared before them.

Old Liu took in the reactions of the group of superhumans and smiled kindly, "Has the rest returned?"

"They're back!" the superhuman on duty quickly responded. "Liu Feng and the others have also returned."

"Alright." Old Liu nodded and went straight into the capital city.

Alliance headquarters, a conference room.

Dewey and Liu Lao sat facing each other.

Dewey reported in detail what had happened in the capital city since Liu Lao left.

Chen Junjie's global mobilization, nuclear bomb program, capture of saboteurs...

After a moment, Old Liu said softly, "I already know all this. Since it's come to this, let it be."

He paused, then asked, "Where's Qian Mengxun?"

Dewey was taken aback.

He didn't expect that when Old Liu returned, the first person he thought of was this woman.

"She should be in the preparation area. Should I call her over?"

Old Liu slowly stood up: "No need, I'll go take a look anyway."

He said this and slowly walked out.

Dewey watched his retreating figure, his gaze slightly narrowed.

Old Liu walked through the underground passage and arrived at a square.

Here, thousands of people are ready to go.

Since the last time 100,000 SSS-level ability users were lost, only these people remain as SSS-level users in the capital.

Qian Mengxun was among them.

Qian Mengxun was inexplicably startled when she saw Old Liu approaching.

But her face remained expressionless; she simply lowered her head slightly, adopting a respectful posture.

Old Liu glanced at everyone, his gaze lingering on Qian Mengxun for a moment.

"Not bad." He actually smiled at her, "It seems you've been in deep training while I was away."

Qian Mengxun's face paled instantly.

Her hands trembled slightly at her sides, but she forced herself to calm down.

With so many people around, he can't do anything to himself.

"We'll wait for you to come back," Old Liu said kindly. "I'll help you break through."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately cast envious glances at him.

Qian Mengxun felt a chill run through her body.

"I can never come back!" she made up her mind.
