Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

While Wang Hu stood there dumbfounded, staring at the scene outside, Qin Tieshan and several team leaders were already quickly discussing their next course of action.

"Reporting to the commander, I believe our current defensive positions are too weak. This single building alone cannot provide complete fire coverage, and it could easily be breached if a large-scale zombie horde attacks!"

A special operations captain pointed to the current city sand table model that his staff had just hastily produced and expressed his concerns.

"I suggest that, while the zombies outside haven't been alerted yet, we immediately clear out another building to form a pincer movement with this one, creating a crossfire network for mutual support!"

"I agree with Lao Zheng's plan. We are currently in the heart of the city, and there are two commercial buildings right next to us. We can take them both as a strategic option for expanding outwards."

"In this way, we will have a certain strategic depth and be able to broaden our vision to prevent the enemy from sending out any large zombies from our blind spots that could threaten the building we are in now."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tieshan pondered for a moment before nodding heavily.

"Can!"

"Then let's take down the two buildings next door."

"Immediately organize a team to set up a zipline from the rooftop, infiltrate the area, and clear the area floor by floor!"

Once the order was given, the entire temporary command center immediately began operating efficiently.

Wang Hu followed these people up to the top floor of the building.

Watching the elite soldiers skillfully secure the zipline on the rooftop, and then silently glide down to the dark buildings on either side.

Immediately afterwards, a series of very faint "popping" sounds came from the building across the street.

That was a pistol with a silencer firing.

The whole process was silent and incredibly efficient. Wang Hu initially found it fascinating, but after a while, he began to get bored.

I couldn't help but yawn, feeling a little drowsy.

Qin Tieshan, on the other hand, seemed busier than anyone else.

He led the remaining squad leaders down from the top floor to the first floor and back up again, carefully inspecting every defensive arrangement and leaving no detail overlooked.

After confirming everything was correct, he returned to the top floor, picked up a military telescope, and silently peered into the distance.

Wang Hu looked at him with some curiosity.

I wondered to myself, what is this old man looking at? He seems so engrossed in it.

Seemingly noticing Wang Hu's gaze, Qin Tieshan put down his binoculars, turned around, and gave Wang Hu a smile.

He shook the object in his hand.

"Big Cat, want to try this?"

Wang Hu pursed his lips and slowly shook his head.

Just kidding, his tiger eyes are like a built-in 8x scope with night vision, much more useful than this lump of iron.

Qin Tieshan realized he had misunderstood, so he didn't say anything more. He just smiled, raised the binoculars again, and continued to look in the same direction without moving.

This time, he looked for even longer.

Wang Hu even suspected that the old man had been acupunctured.

Finally, he couldn't resist and stood up, looking in the direction Qin Tieshan was gazing.

It was a huge city square.

In the center of the square stands an extremely tall statue.

Wang Hu's golden tiger eyes narrowed slightly, his vision instantly zooming in, and the distant scene became crystal clear in his mind.

It was a statue of an old man.

The old man was dressed in a smart uniform, with one hand behind his back and the other pointing into the distance. His whole figure was sculpted to look spirited and full of heroic spirit.

Below the massive main statue, there are even more numerous smaller statues.

They were children with innocent and childlike faces, holding up the flowers in their hands and vying to present them to the old man. Every child's face was filled with heartfelt respect and joy.

The entire group of sculptures is sculpted to lifelike detail.

Wang Hu could almost picture the scene of people cheering and celebrating under the statue on the day it was completed.

One can imagine the immense prestige this old man held in this strange world.

Moreover, the statue looks brand new, indicating that it was not built for long, at most twenty years ago.

But what kind of upheaval could have transformed such a prosperous and thriving human civilization into this zombie-infested, lifeless state in less than twenty years?

Just then, Qin Tieshan's slightly hoarse voice rang in his ears.

"Big Cat, do you know what the inscription under that statue means?"

His words carried a complex emotion that was difficult to describe.

Wang Hu turned his head and glanced at him, but didn't say anything!

There was indeed a line of elegant, flowing characters beneath the statue, which looked somewhat similar to Chinese characters.

But he wasn't from this world, so how could he recognize the characters here?

Qin Tieshan didn't seem to expect Wang Hu to answer anything. He chuckled to himself and continued speaking.

"Actually, we've seen this statue and the inscription below it countless times."

"Whether it was in the mirages we saw before, or in the written records we obtained later, his presence can be found in almost every document in this world."

"He should be the last executive director of the Human Federation in this world, that is, their supreme leader."

Qin Tieshan paused, pointed to the line of large, flowing characters in the distance, turned to Wang Hu and continued, "And the line of characters below him, according to our linguists' comparison and translation, should be a celebratory phrase."

"Happy 200th birthday to their CEO! May he and the Federation live forever!"

At this point, Qin Tieshan abruptly paused, the chill emanating from him sending a shiver down Wang Hu's spine.

"Based on our research, we can be fairly certain that..."

"A major change in the world happened on his two-hundredth birthday."

"To be precise, on that very day, this normally functioning human federation suddenly, without warning..."

"They are heading towards extinction."

"We have good reason to suspect that the destruction of this world is inextricably linked to this person's desire for immortality or to prolong life."

Wang Hu truly felt a chill at that moment.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he controlled the grey parrot that had been on his back to speak: "Could it be that the intelligent life hidden underground is this creature?"

"He achieved immortality at the cost of destroying the world?"
