Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Upon hearing Wen Yu's response, Lin Haifeng gave a slight nod and said no more, casually instructing the professionist behind him to inspect the hall.

Perhaps he was worried Wen Yu hadn't done a thorough job, or maybe he was looking for something.

In any case, it no longer concerned Wen Yu.

Glancing at the shoulder of one professionist, at the deceased man from the Demon Capital Assembly Site, Wen Yu pursed his lips.

"There seems to be an issue with the Demon Capital Assembly Site, but we haven't figured out the specifics. This man was a suicide operative," Kuangliu explained to Wen Yu.

Wen Yu merely nodded; his earlier questions had been born of simple curiosity.

Standing up, Wen Yu addressed Lin Haifeng, who was beside Old Master Fang's corpse.

"The mission is complete. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Lin Haifeng had been standing before Old Master Fang's corpse, seemingly lost in thought. Hearing Wen Yu, he nodded slightly.

"Come to the military headquarters tomorrow. Let's arrange a win-win transaction; it can be considered our first collaboration!"

Hearing Commander Lin's words, Wen Yu chuckled, nodded, and turned to walk out.

「Demon Capital Assembly Site, in Peng Jun's office.」

By the time Lin Haifeng launched his attack on the central district, Peng Jun had already received the news.

"Old Lin moves too quickly!" Peng Jun sighed, massaging his temples and speaking with a wry smile.

Beside him, a young man in military uniform, with star-like eyes and sword-like brows, nodded slightly.

"My original plan was to wait for the opportune moment, then directly contact the Aristocratic Families. Together, we would control Lin Haifeng and seize the Yanjing Assembly Site. But once Old Lin makes his move, none of those who can't see the situation clearly will be spared!"

Peng Jun shook his head helplessly, though his tone held little regret.

"By the way, what's the status of the information you were looking into?"

The young man sitting nearby nodded slightly.

"We have news. The demon spawn is in Harbin."

Upon hearing this, an unconcealable greed flashed in Peng Jun's eyes.

"For the time being, you'll handle the political affairs here at the Demon Capital Assembly Site. I need to make a trip to Harbin."

The young man nodded.

Peng Jun stood up and hastily put on his clothes. Then, as if a thought struck him, he paused, dazed for a moment, before asking, "Has the new Apostolic Leader completed his training?"

The young man nodded.

"Have him accompany me."

"Understood."

Hearing Peng Jun's instruction, the young man immediately headed out.

"Oh, and Peng Guang, one more thing. Keep an eye on Sequence Number 2's activities; he's been involved with Old Lin lately. Speak with Protector Number 1 and find an opportunity to eliminate him."

At the mention of "Sequence Number 2," a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the young man named Peng Guang.

Seeing Peng Guang's reaction, Peng Jun chuckled.

"Recently, spend some time exploring your new abilities. When the time is ripe, you will be Sequence Number 2, not Sequence Number 5."

"Also, talk more with Protector Number 1, and strive to secure more benefits from him."

"Understood."

Peng Guang nodded and turned to leave the room.

Only Peng Jun remained, standing alone, lost in thought.

After a long moment, Peng Jun chuckled and muttered to himself, "This is truly interesting. Who would have thought a Treasure Land Protector under the Dominator would entertain thoughts of betrayal..."

"So, the so-called Dominator isn't omniscient and omnipotent after all!"

Wen Yu awoke to the smell of gunpowder and blood heavy in the air.

Slightly parting the curtains, warm sunlight streamed into the bedroom, suffusing Wen Yu with a sense of warmth.

Seeing the military vehicles driving back and forth on the street outside, and the soldiers on patrol, Wen Yu frowned.

It seemed the task of clearing out the remnants of the Aristocratic Families wasn't yet complete.

Upon reflection, Wen Yu understood. The Aristocratic Families' influence had deeply infiltrated the army, with both overt and covert forces. These matters couldn't possibly be resolved in a single night.

Wen Yu quickly freshened up, then called Cyclops and Star, and headed downstairs.

Driving his car, Wen Yu reached the military headquarters in less than ten minutes.

Without undergoing any security checks, the soldiers at the gate waved him through immediately upon seeing his license plate.

Arriving at Commander Lin's office, Wen Yu could hear the Commander's methodical voice even before entering.

"Immediately disarm the 32nd Mobile Brigade. Simultaneously, activate our sleeper agents to eliminate Feng Shaobai."

"Dispatch a group of professionists to hunt down the fleeing remnant Family disciples who have already left the city. Ensure you eradicate them completely, leaving no roots."

"Mobilize..."

Wen Yu listened outside the door as Commander Lin issued a series of commands, waiting for quite some time.

Professionists in military uniforms frequently entered and exited. After about an hour, Commander Lin finally finished organizing these concluding matters and called out towards the door, "You can come in."

Wen Yu pushed open the door and walked in.

Inside the room, Commander Lin appeared somewhat fatigued, yet his eyes shone with unprecedented brightness.

Wen Yu looked at Commander Lin and said with a smile, "Commander Lin, congratulations. Congratulations on becoming the sole authority in the Yanjing Assembly Site."

Commander Lin smiled and nodded, not feigning modesty in the slightest. He replied, "It was all thanks to your strength. You've done me an immense favor, and I will never forget it!"

"That's good to hear."

Wen Yu then sat directly in the chair opposite Commander Lin. Watching Lin Haifeng deftly handle the tea set before him, Wen Yu began to speak slowly, "I believe you understand the purpose of my visit, Commander Lin..."

Hearing Wen Yu's words, Commander Lin nodded promptly.

"Excellent. I happen to have some matters here that require your strength."

Wen Yu took a light sip of the tea Lin Haifeng offered before speaking.

"Regarding these operations to clean up the remnants of the Aristocratic Families, I will not be participating."

Hunting down these people would be a waste of time and offer no benefits. There was no way he would do it.

Lin Haifeng understood Wen Yu's perspective and nodded directly.

"First, let's take a look at this."

With that, Lin Haifeng retrieved a map from his side.

Several red and black dots of varying sizes were clearly marked on it.

"What is this?" Wen Yu asked, looking puzzled at the markings on the map.

"These are the Danger Level mutant creatures currently detected by the military, encompassing both individuals and colonies."
