The heavy rain forced the survivors to relocate, and Shendu was just one of the possible destinations.

Some who moved here could only be bullied, like Zhao Jing, whose strength was weak, forcing him to seek shelter.

But some were mighty dragons crossing the river.

"Phoenix of Rebirth."

A group of local bullies were trying to take advantage of a newly arrived group of survivors, but they didn't expect to encounter a tough opponent.

The leading woman actually transformed into a firebird and flew into the air.

Calling it a phoenix was just a nice way of putting it; how could anyone really turn into a phoenix?

This firebird had a wingspan of twelve or thirteen meters, its entire body covered in fiery red feathers, and it wasn't exactly beautiful.

But its strength was not to be underestimated, reaching level seven in a short period of time.

A natural-type transformation.

Lu Tianzhu, in her firebird form, spat out balls of flame, slaughtering the local bullies.

The local bullies cried out in misery as they were killed.

Seeing their level six boss fleeing in terror, Lu Tianzhu's expression turned cold, and she transformed from a firebird into a thunder wolf.

Firebird and thunder wolf were the two main combat methods Lu Tianzhu currently possessed, both capable of briefly reaching level seven.

What Meng Yin could transform into, the little rabbit, she could also do. The little yellow duck, however, could not.

Nor could she sing "I am a Little Duck," yiya yiya you!

The thunder wolf was fast, easily catching up to the fleeing level six opponent and killing him.

Turning back into human form, Lu Tianzhu looked exhausted. Such transformations were powerful, but also consumed a lot of energy.

Cheers erupted from her companions, but Lu Tianzhu smiled wryly, "Let's find a place to settle down."

...

"Are you leaving on your own, or do we need to invite you?"

A foreign base had no place to settle down. Building a base was too much trouble, wasn't it better to just rob one?

And take the supplies while they were at it.

So, they found a base that looked good and prepared to rob it.

The outsiders were strong, numbering around two thousand.

Gu Changfeng said indifferently, "If you don't surrender in ten minutes, we won't leave a single one alive."

The base had just over a thousand members, and they sank into despair at Gu Changfeng's threat.

Someone on Gu Changfeng's side shouted, "Our boss is level seven. Those with good qualities can join us. Don't be ungrateful!"

Someone scoffed, "Level seven is nothing special! The Chief Chen of Shuguang City is probably level nine. Wouldn't it be better for us to join him?"

Well, it wasn't that they didn't want to join, it was just that Chen Luo wouldn't accept them.

The base's boss pondered with a grim face. They couldn't defend by force. The difference in numbers was too great, and the opponent had a level seven expert.

They could only yield for now.

First, submit, then find an opportunity to unite with others to kill him, or have Chief Chen step in. It wasn't appropriate for outsiders to bully those from Shendu, right?

"Okay, we'll yield."

But as they warily retreated from the base, Gu Changfeng's expression turned ruthless.

"Kill them, leave no one alive, eliminate future troubles."

Two huge tornadoes swept towards the retreating group. With the help of Gu Changfeng, a level seven expert, and a significant numerical advantage, they easily crushed the enemy.

One of Gu Changfeng's lackeys chuckled, "The survivors of Shendu are nothing more than this, easily defeated."

A survivor who was not yet dead cried out miserably, "Go to hell! Go try Shuguang City! See if you dare say that in front of him!"

The lackey kicked him to death and sneered, "Try it? I'll try it."

Gu Changfeng's expression shifted slightly, "Go inquire about this Shuguang City."

Soon, Gu Changfeng received news that Shuguang City was gathering everyone tomorrow for a meeting.

...

"Sister Weiwei, this Shuguang City is not simple. I heard they are not only strong, but they also have improved seeds that can increase production by 50%."

The Weiwei that person was referring to was a woman of about twenty-five or twenty-six, petite, with a pure face, who looked like a kind-hearted woman.

Ling Weiwei was stunned. Even more powerful than her?

The improved seeds she had developed could barely achieve a 30% increase.

She had been near Shendu for two days now, and the most frequent thing she had heard was about this Shuguang City. The word "overlord" wasn't even enough to describe them.

In particular, Ling Weiwei had also heard about Yi Siying impersonating an elder of Shuguang City and destroying a base. It was simply unbelievable.

Ling Weiwei couldn't help but develop a longing for this Shuguang City. How wonderful it would be to join them.

Tomorrow was Shuguang City's gathering, which was the perfect opportunity to take a look.

Ling Weiwei looked at Shendu, at this familiar yet unfamiliar city.

"Two years ago, due to difficulties at work and setbacks in my career, as a newcomer to the workplace, I was under extreme mental pressure, unable to sleep through the night, and felt depressed every day."

"I left Shendu, this place of sadness, thinking I would never come back, but here I am again."

Ling Weiwei remembered something. Due to the excessive pressure, she had become very irritable.

She saw a small black puppy, a stray that no one wanted.

She couldn't help but have violent and terrifying thoughts.

It was just a stray dog; it wouldn't matter if she bullied it.

She stabbed it a few times and even cut off one of its ears with her own hands.

The puppy whimpered and ran away.

Afterward, when Ling Weiwei thought about it, she couldn't imagine that she would have done such a terrible thing.

But after this incident, Ling Weiwei's mood calmed down a lot. She was no longer irritable and chose to resign and leave Shendu.

Ling Weiwei thought, "I'm sorry, little puppy. If I ever meet you again, I will make it up to you."

...

"Woof woof woof."

Six puppies returned from outside. Because they all ate hairtail meat with Fawang, the second oldest, because of its good aptitude, had even reached level six.

The other five were only level five.

Fawang let them act on their own. Life and death were determined by fate. What was the point of having their own father always following them?

Your father here was hunting zombies alone when he was level one.

Fawang stopped them. Where were they going?

The puppies barked, "We obtained level five crystals and are going to give them to Gan Daddy."

Fawang snatched them away. "I am your real father!"

"Don't you know who gave birth to you?"

"Do you know how many points you cost me? It's time to repay me now."

The puppies left dejectedly, not daring to disobey Fawang.

Fawang looked at the crystals in his hand, but instead of handing them over to Chen Luo, he hid them in the cabinet in the doghouse.

"I have to save up points to become the dog leader!"

Fawang had finally figured it out. As long as his points reached a certain level, Gou Shuling would find a reason to deduct them.

When the points were low, Gou Shuling was still a person and wouldn't make things difficult for a dog, but once the points were high, he would transform into a dog.

"I can't let my points get too high."

Fawang still didn't understand why Chen Luo wanted to prevent him from becoming the dog leader.

Because Fawang would never have imagined that "dog" was actually a derogatory term.

If there were too many points, they would be deducted.

Fawang understood that if his points reached nine thousand, the next second, the dog might have points deducted for stepping with his left foot first.

So, in this situation, how could he become the dog leader?

It seemed that the only way was to directly find a king-level crystal.

No, there were other ways.

That was to not rush to hand over the harvested materials. Wait until he had accumulated enough materials for ten thousand points, then hand them in all at once and become the dog leader in one fell swoop.

Once he became the dog leader, Fawang wouldn't ask for anything else. He could deduct as much as he wanted.

As time passed, the value of the same materials would continue to depreciate, but Fawang understood that this was the only way.

"Just you wait. Nothing can stop a dog."
