Rou Moyu gently tapped the table with her slender fingers, creating a crisp sound that broke the brief silence.
"Leader Tie is right. Wan Youyu's madness has surpassed all reason, turning the entire Brothers Alliance into a breeding ground for his twisted kin. His methods are cruel, and his power is eerily beyond our previous expectations."
Her voice remained soft, yet it carried a hint of undetectable coldness.
"Not only does he possess an unknown number of half-corpse legions, but he and his trusted subordinates have also reached the Nine-Bar level. Coupled with that terrifying infectious characteristic... a frontal assault offers slim hope of victory. Even a pyrrhic victory would result in immense losses for our elites, and they might even become fodder for his growth."
Mao Wudi clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the effort. He struggled to suppress the anger in his heart, his voice as low as muffled thunder:
"This is truly stifling! I wish I could rush over immediately and chop that fellow into mincemeat! But..."
He took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the blood-red area labeled "Brothers Alliance" on the holographic map.
"But Tie Zhenshan is right; this is not the time for impulsive actions.
Nearly a million lives could be lost in an instant. What wouldn't that madman do?
If we fail, the entire H City will be finished. Everyone, including our foundations, will become a breeding ground for his pathogens!
This is a price we cannot afford!"
Tie Zhenshan slowly nodded, "Then, a consensus has been reached."
"Seeking aid from Firefly Base is currently the only way out.
Leader Zuo Feng is a man of great foresight, and we've already seen the tip of the iceberg of Firefly Base's strength during our previous interactions. It is far beyond what we can fathom.
Even if Wan Youyu stands at the pinnacle of the world, he doesn't realize that within Firefly, the Nine-Bar level might just be the starting point.
We must fully inform Leader Zuo Feng of Wan Youyu's actions, his half-corpse legions, his infectious abilities, and his insane plan to turn the entire H City and all survivor bases into a 'feast.'
I believe he will not stand idly by and watch such a disaster spread."
Rou Moyu sighed softly, elegantly adjusting her cuff, a complex glint flashing in her eyes:
"There's no time to lose. We will send flying Mutants to Firefly Base immediately to fully disclose Wan Youyu's plan.
Time is of the essence; we must secure Firefly Base's support before Wan Youyu conquers Giant Tiger Alliance.
Otherwise, once he unifies Dream City, even our combined efforts will be powerless to reverse the situation."
After the meeting, three flying Mutants, who had lit seven Lotus Seeds, quietly set off. They transformed into three streaks of light, cutting through the night sky and speeding towards Firefly Base.
At the speed of a strong person who has lit seven Lotus Seeds, the journey from H City to Firefly Base would only take a few hours.
At this moment, Zuo Feng was in the hall outside his bedroom, giving the girls massages and chatting.
This hall, where the Mutants and their companion beasts resided, had been thoroughly cleaned and redecorated with furniture, identical to its previous arrangement.
Zuo Feng sat on the soft sofa, his restless hands roaming over the girls' soft bodies, a playful smile on his face.
The hall was filled with a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Just then, a patrolling female student knocked on the door in a hurry, her expression grave as she reported:
"Leader, Glory of Light, Steel Fortress, and Spear of Victory have sent people. They carry an urgent message, saying they have extremely urgent intelligence to report to you."
Zuo Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, his hand pausing on Xiao She Jing's waist, his gaze gradually deepening. "Oh? Take them to the first-floor conference room. I'll be right there."
With that, he gently patted Xiao She Jing, stood up, straightened his clothes, and motioned for Da Bai Tu to change and accompany him to meet the visitors.
After all, the girls were currently only wearing slip nightgowns, and Da Bai Tu, needing to accompany him to receive the guests, naturally had to change her clothes.
A moment later, the cool white light in the conference room illuminated Zuo Feng's chiseled face. He leaned back in the alloy chair at the head of the table, his posture seemingly relaxed, but there was no trace of laziness in his deep eyes.
Da Bai Tu had changed into a capable outfit and sat quietly beside him, her expression equally serious.
They both knew that tomorrow was the day the Three Overlord Powers would besiege Dream City. Sending an urgent message at this time surely related to the encirclement plan, and a change had occurred.
Three exhausted messengers stood before the conference table. They belonged to different factions, yet shared the same sense of urgency.
The leading flying Mutant, from Steel Fortress, took a deep breath, suppressing the surging blood from his high-speed flight, and respectfully presented an encrypted letter with both hands.
His voice slightly trembled, his words fast but clear, as he fully recounted the concerns of the three leaders—Tie Zhenshan, Mao Wudi, and Rou Moyu—Wan Youyu's insane actions, the tragic state of the Brothers Alliance's territory turning into a dead city, the horror of the half-corpse legions, and the imminent threat of nearly ten thousand pathogens.
Every word was like a heavy lead block, hitting the cold metal floor.
"...Wan Youyu has become a half-human, half-corpse, and his strength may have reached the Nine-Bar level. He and two of his trusted subordinates have completed the half-corpse transformation, possessing astonishing combat power.
They are highly infectious; even a common wound can turn a person into a controlled half-corpse puppet, and Mutants are no exception. The Brothers Alliance's experts above five Lotus Seeds have all been controlled by them, doubling their combat power.
Their goal is clear: first, to annex Giant Tiger Alliance and Luoxia Alliance, then to use the entire Dream City as a springboard, and ultimately... to turn all survivors in H City, and even Firefly and E City, into sacrifices to nourish their pathogens."
When the messenger spoke of this, Zuo Feng's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.
Upon hearing keywords like "nearly a million survivors becoming pathogen raw material,"
"seven to eight thousand pathogens about to erupt and spread,"
"three Nine-Bar level half-corpse monsters,"
and "highly infectious half-corpse legions," his fingertips, resting on the armrest, unconsciously tapped lightly, producing a faint but clear 'tap-tap' sound.
Da Bai Tu's breathing also quickened slightly, and a cold glint flickered in her alluring phoenix eyes. Wan Youyu's depravity had thoroughly ignited her murderous intent.
Finally, the messenger from Glory of Light stepped forward, his voice filled with pleading:
"The three leaders have unanimously decided to request Firefly Base's intervention!
Wan Youyu's calamity is no longer just a problem for H City alone. If left unchecked, once he integrates Dream City, his half-corpse legions will grow like a snowball, and pathogens will fully erupt... By then, all survivors on the entire continent will face annihilation! Time is urgent; he could attack Giant Tiger Alliance at any moment!"
A brief silence fell over the room, broken only by the sound of Zuo Feng carefully turning the pages of the letter.
Zuo Feng's gaze swept over the anxious and expectant faces of the three messengers, then he handed the letter to Da Bai Tu.
After reading the letter, Da Bai Tu remained silent for a long time.
Zuo Feng slightly raised his chin, a cold curve seemingly forming at the corner of his mouth. There was no smile in that curve, only a sharp, decisive resolution born from understanding everything.
"So it's truly a 'feast,' is it?" Zuo Feng's low voice broke the silence, like ice rubbing together. "If he wants to hold a banquet, he'll have to ask us, Firefly, if we agree to him hosting this feast!"
Da Bai Tu slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with murderous intent:
"This is no longer an internal conflict within H City, but a matter of life and death for all surviving humanity."
She paused, her fingertips gently tracing the edge of the letter, and said to the three messengers:
"Go back and tell the three leaders that we, Firefly, will send troops to aid H City! We will arrive before sunrise tomorrow!"
