The sound of keyboards clicking was incessant, as every person in the command center was busy with a tense expression.
Everyone understood the underlying meaning of Zhao Liqian’s words: if the target had a high potential value, losing it could harm the interests of the region and the nation.
Thus, he had no choice but to agree to the action plan of the Underground Management Department, a sorrowful reality in this world endowed with incredible abilities.
As time ticked by, Zhao Liqian kept his eyes closed, leaning against the back of his chair.
His face was calm, but the incessant tapping of his fingertips on the desktop betrayed the tumult in his heart.
Two minutes passed quickly, and all the staff completed their task collections.
“Report, a check was performed on the 39 registered mutant creatures in the protection zone, and no records of any highly valuable mutant creatures were found.”
“Report, a check was performed on the protection zone’s registered special herbs and materials, and no records of any highly valuable special materials or herbs were found.”
“Report, a rapid investigation was carried out on the local forums online, and a discovery has been made!”
Zhao Liqian suddenly opened his eyes, “Speak!”
“Yes!”

“Our team checked the internet’s hot posts from the last ten years, and one widely circulated post had the highest number of clicks and shares. Director Zhao should have heard of it—it’s the ‘Moonfall Incident’ from over a decade ago!”
“The Moonfall Incident,” Zhao Liqian murmured this term that was both foreign and familiar, as a long-buried memory resurfaced in his mind.
It was over ten years ago, on the eve of his transfer to Yundu City, but the story had spread so widely that even years later, when he took up his post, he had heard of it.
It was said to have happened on a full moon night more than ten years ago when many who were moon-gazing noticed the moon looked incredibly large.
Standing on the ground, one could clearly see the palatial towers and pavilions on the moon, as well as various rare birds and beasts—of course, accounts varied, with some claiming to have seen beautiful women in the palaces, and others, mountains of gold and silver.
Unfortunately, cell phones were not yet common at the time, and the giant moon disappeared into the forests not far from Yundu City after only showing for a few dozen seconds, gradually shrinking during its descent.
That forest became what is now the Yundu Nature Reserve.
Subsequently, this incident caused quite a stir as many eyewitnesses rushed to the forest the next morning, hoping to find the fallen moon, but they often ended up killed by mutant creatures.
Since there were no video records and the surrounding three cities besides Yundu City did not witness the supposedly massive moon,
and as accounts from those who were there differed, the incident gradually faded from memory over time, only occasionally brought up as a topic of conversation by internet users fond of collecting strange tales.
Crackle~
The call was connected once more.
“Director Zhao, time’s up, I wonder if you’ve made your arrangements!”
The voice from the speakers, feigning femininity, interrupted Zhao Liqian’s train of thought; he pursed his lips, engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
To sacrifice his comrades based on an unsubstantiated rumor was unacceptable to him. Setting aside the validity of the “Moonfall,” even if it were real, wouldn’t the nature reserve staff know the forest better than his people?
After much deliberation, Zhao Liqian said gravely, “I can agree to let you leave, but how will you ensure the safety of my brothers?”
“Heehee, of course by taking them with us. Once we’re safe, we’ll naturally release them,” the girlish voice nonchalantly replied.
Zhao Liqian suddenly stood up and stated decisively, “Impossible! Don’t be too excessive!”
“How can you say that about someone?” The other person, now adopting a petulant child’s voice, replied, “This is your home ground after all; we’re just trying to ensure our own safety—is that really too much to ask?”
As he said this, he seemed to have a handle on Zhao Liqian. His voice turned into that of a mature woman as he arrogantly laughed, “Besides… what can you do about it even if I am too excessive! Hahaha!”
“You!” Zhao Liqian was furious, his face muscles twitching with anger.
Just then, a startled shout came from the other end, “Boss, watch out!”
“Qiuqiu, blast them!”
Boom!
A loud explosion followed, the communications signal was completely cut off, and at the same time, a blaze erupted within the frame captured by the drone!
…
Whirr~
The roaring sound produced by the explosion made Ye Hu’s eardrums buzz, and the intense dizziness made him feel like vomiting.
He struggled to push away the underlings lying on top of him and clutched his chest as he coughed violently, spewing out dark red blood from his mouth which flowed wantonly across his face.
Ye Hu struggled to turn his head, only to see that most of the stone forest had been shattered, with rubble strewn all around, and the dust suspended in mid-air dissipating quickly in the night wind.
His underlings lay scattered among the stones, their condition unknown.
The howling night wind flipped open his cloak, revealing a pale, young face. Half of his face was quickly stained with blackened blood spots from the dried blood, making him look like a vampire who had just drunk blood.
Looking into the distance, he could vaguely make out a cluster of flames floating in the sky, obscured by the pervasive dust.
Shao Zifeng sat astride Qiuqiu, looking down at the chaos below with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
The attack had been targeted at the hidden humans in the stone forest, and the lower slopes hadn’t been affected too much. Besides, with Lingling’s protective vines, even the unconscious members of the Abnormal Administration Bureau couldn’t feel the shockwaves.
However, there were still plenty of mutant creatures near the vine cages. Even if they weren’t very powerful, Lingling couldn’t possibly get around them to rescue the people.
“Cough cough!”
As the dust from the explosion slowly settled, Ye Hu used the broken stones to pull himself up, clutching his chest as he gasped for breath.
Feeling a little less burdened, Ye Hu looked up and gave a slight start when he saw Qiuqiu, a trace of joy crossing his face.
Dragons!
It was a dragon-like mutant creature!
And from its appearance, it wasn’t just any dragon—it was very likely…
At this thought, greed intensified on his face. Ignoring his underlings, he only wanted to capture this dragon-like mutant creature.
He took out a flute from his pocket, placed it to his lips, and blew a few notes, but no sound came out.
The next moment, the previously restless mutant creatures all raised their heads in unison, their bloodshot eyes locked onto Qiuqiu as they slowly gathered around Ye Hu.
Their bulging veins pulsated rapidly, and thick saliva dripped from their bared fangs.
Some of the creatures with eyes on their backs crouched low, their dorsal eyeballs fixating on Qiuqiu as their grey-white pupils spun wildly.
Seeing these mutant creatures, a flood of sealed memories surged forth, and both Shao Zifeng and Qiuqiu felt a surge of rage.
Shao Zifeng calmed the restlessness in his heart and checked the data of these mutant creatures, only to find that the highest among them was of the fourth order.
Then he closed his eyes and activated the Empathy Link with Lingling and Qiuqiu.
A moment later, the vines coiled into a spherical shape like snakes and rolled down the slope.
At the same time, Qiuqiu’s golden-red vertical pupils blazed with fire, its scales unfolded, revealing magma-like veins, and two streams of flame extended from the pupils like dragon whiskers, constantly fluttering in the night wind.
Simultaneously, with it at the center, storm clouds spun like a swirling tempest, covering the sky. Within the clouds, flickers of fire hinted at a dragon roaming amidst them!
“Roar!!!”
Dragon Power Skill activated.
As if corporeal, a wave of air swept across the area. Qiuqiu, with its flaming wings, hovered in mid-air, looking like a king controlling a disaster against the backdrop of the incessantly swirling storm clouds.
All the mutant creatures below froze. Rare fear appeared in their frenzied eyes, and some weaker creatures collapsed to the ground, their ferocity gone, burying their heads between their legs, not daring to look up, trembling uncontrollably.
Ye Hu was rigid, his pupils reflecting the darkening storm clouds. Suddenly, there were several bulges in the clouds below, as if something was about to break through.
He wanted to flee, but his body wouldn’t respond.
Suddenly, the whole reserve came alive, various beasts and birds crying out as they fled into the distance. In moments, it seemed only they remained on the mountain.
“Captain, what… what’s that?”
As Abnormal Administration Bureau members transporting the vine ball felt the temperature rising, one of them wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and couldn’t help but look back, only to see half of the sky behind them tinted a dark red, with the swirling clouds looking like the end of the world was upon them.
Just then, Zhao Liqian’s shout came through everyone’s earpieces: “Evacuate, now!!”
No sooner had he spoken than maniacal laughter erupted in the distance.
“Dragon Flame Meteor! Blow them all to hell! Hahaha!”
