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

The two walked out of Building 1 one after the other, and Li An followed them out.

Inside the residential compound, Liu Zhiqiang and the men in black were still waiting outside.

Dewey glanced at Wang Wei and couldn't help but remind him, "Don't you need to explain things to him?"

Wang Wei smiled: "I'll be right back. What's there to explain?"

However, after he finished speaking, he still glanced at Li An.

"Wait for me to come back."

Li An nodded silently without saying a word.

Dewey shook his head with a wry smile and said nothing more.

He leaped into the air, and the men in black followed suit.

Wang Wei walked on air, and the group disappeared into the night.

Liu Zhiqiang looked in the direction Wang Wei had left, then turned around and went back to the underground living area alone.

Only Li An remained standing outside, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Outside the capital city, the beast tide had receded.

Smoke still rose from the scorched earth of the battlefield, and mountains of strange beast corpses were being moved away.

But no one on the city wall let their guard down; the superhumans kept their eyes fixed on the darkness in the distance.

The league has gained a much-needed respite, but no one knows how long this calm will last.

In a secret meeting room of the Alliance, Elder Liu and several high-ranking Alliance officials sat solemnly.

An elderly man in gray spoke with concern: "Wang Wei's actions are well-documented; his promises are completely unreliable."

He looked at Old Liu, his tone tinged with anxiety: "Old Liu, is it really appropriate to just tell him the location of Yuxu so easily...?"

"That's enough." Old Liu raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

"We can't get into Yuxu either. Rather than let the secret rot underground, we might as well use his hands to open it."

Old Liu's voice was calm: "If he gets in and brings out the truth, it will benefit us as well. If he doesn't get in, we won't lose anything."

The old man in gray was taken aback, then realized: "You want to use him..."

"That's right." Old Liu nodded. "Making a deal with him was just a made-up excuse."

The people present exchanged glances, their expressions gradually relaxing and revealing a relieved look.

"That beast tide..." The gray-robed elder suddenly frowned again, "I'm afraid the beast tide will return as soon as he enters the Yu Ruins. What will we do then?"

Old Liu remained silent for a moment.

"Let's make the martial arts techniques public to all those with supernatural abilities," he said slowly.

The gray-robed elder nodded: "Good. This way, our top-tier combat forces can play a greater role, and dealing with the beast tide will be easier."

Most of the SSS-level superpowered individuals in the capital who awakened through the Awakening Prosperity were ordinary people who awakened overnight and did not have the corresponding methods to use them.

Once traditional martial arts techniques become widespread, they will be able to unleash the true power of their supernatural abilities.

Meanwhile, Dewey led Wang Wei to the deep mountains of southwestern China.

The continuous mountain range was shrouded in fog. The further the group went, the thicker the fog became, and their visibility shrank from hundreds of meters to tens of meters.

Wang Wei's expression gradually became serious.

This place was not even within his range of reflection; more precisely, every time he released his reflection, he subconsciously ignored the existence of this mountain range.

Noticing the change in Wang Wei's expression, Dewey asked in a low voice, "What did you find out?"

Wang Wei shook his head and did not answer.

Dewey saw that he wouldn't say anything and didn't press him for details.

A moment later, the group entered a secluded mountain stream.

Dewey stopped in front of a rock face disguised as a boulder and placed his hand on an unseen groove.

"Click—"

The alloy door slowly opened, revealing a downward-extending passageway behind it.

"You wait here."

After Dewey finished speaking, he went inside with only Wang Wei.

The group of men in black remained at the entrance.

The two descended along the mountain path.

The passage is long and slopes downwards, with a heavy alloy gate every hundred meters.

The air is getting more humid and cooler.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the passage suddenly opened up.

A massive rift valley stretched out in front of the two of them.

The rift valley is several hundred meters wide, and its bottom is pitch black.

On both sides of the rock face, there are man-made platforms and walkways at intervals.

Several men in black came forward, but after recognizing Dewey, they dispersed.

The two soared into the air and entered the depths of the rift valley.

Inside the rift valley, every so often you can see a neatly dug deep pit, with many people in white coats digging inside.

The two continued deeper into the canyon, where there were fewer and fewer people, and it became increasingly desolate.

After about several dozen miles, the canyon ahead suddenly narrowed, with the rock walls on both sides almost closing in, leaving only a gap less than ten meters wide.

At the end of the crevice, a thick, white mist seeped out from the rock crevice, blocking the way ahead.

Dewey stopped, staring intently at the white mist ahead.

"This is it."

Wang Wei remained silent.

He stared at the mist and asked, "Can't we get in?"

Dewey nodded without offering further explanation.

The alliance has tried everything it should have tried, and even things it shouldn't have tried.

Wang Wei remained silent for a moment, then walked over.

As soon as they approached the mist, a tremendous repulsive force suddenly erupted.

Wang Wei frowned and immediately released the safe house domain here.

The repulsive force suddenly increased, and the pressure between heaven and earth squeezed in from all directions, making the air feel as heavy as a mountain.

Wang Wei continued walking, his expression seemingly unchanged.

Behind him, Dewey watched Wang Wei approach the fog step by step, his expression becoming excited.

For decades, Wang Wei was the first person to get that close.

If he can get in—maybe everything will be answered.

Five steps. Three steps. One step.

Wang Wei stopped just half a meter away from the thick, white fog.

The safe house's domain had already covered the fog, but he couldn't sense anything behind the fog.

This is the first time such a situation has occurred.

To go in or not to go in?

Wang Wei remained silent for three seconds.

Then, he stepped inside.

Dewey watched as Wang Wei's body gradually disappeared into the thick white mist.

"He's in—" Dewey exclaimed excitedly.

At that moment, Wang Wei's figure completely disappeared into the white mist.

"He went in..." Dewey's voice trailed off, his eyes becoming blank.

"Him what?" he muttered to himself. "Who am I talking about?"

He turned around blankly. "Why am I here?"

He frowned, but couldn't recall anything.

Dewey turned around and went straight back.

Outside the capital city, a red mist suddenly rose in the sky.

"roar--"

The roar of the beast resounded through the sky.

In the alliance meeting room, the old man in gray stood up angrily and slammed his hand on the table: "He truly has no credibility whatsoever! The agreed-upon terms—"

"Who?" Old Liu looked at him in surprise, his brows furrowed. "Who lacks credibility?"

The old man in gray was taken aback, opened his mouth, then closed it again.

His mind was a complete mess, as if something was stuck there, and he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried.

"Uh...he..." he stammered, "He...uh..."

The old man in gray was filled with confusion.

"Hehe, Old Zhang's got dementia." Someone joked from the side.

"Prepare to face the beast tide." Old Liu stood up and looked out the window at the spreading red mist.

Outside the city of Jiangnan, a sense of oppression swept in.

The beast tide is coming!

Li An appeared on the city wall.

Her grey eyes gazed at the distant crimson mist, a look of bewilderment in them that she herself couldn't quite explain.

She seems to be waiting for someone.

Whom are you waiting for?
