Chapter 2242 - 2235: We Hope You Will Join

"So far, the number of people attacked has exceeded 500,000, with 483,847 deaths, of which those with Transcender or higher Life Levels account for over 96%, and even 10% are Realm Breakers with one Dominator among them."

"Once again, we remind all residents to maintain as much calm as possible and not to panic excessively. If you sense any danger, please report it immediately. Currently, our Soul Hunters have been dispatched nationwide, ensuring activity on almost every street."

"Citizens of the Moruo Holy Nation, we are facing an unprecedented disaster, but we must never lose hope. Believe that we will soon find an effective way to deal with such attacks. Trust us!"

...

Zhang Menglong looked at the Moruo Holy Nation’s notice, thinking that these people running the country must be brain-dead.

In this state of extreme alertness, who can remain calm? If danger is felt and everyone calls the police, then even with the full force of the Moruo Holy Nation’s police, it wouldn’t be enough.

Zhang Menglong could even predict that with even the slightest gust of wind or rustle, residents would begin to frantically call the police, and over 99% would be false alarms. This is not only a vast waste of police resources but also easily causes people to become excessively tense.

Under such circumstances, it wouldn’t be long before those Soul Hunters exhausted themselves. If they truly encountered those Quantum Ghosts in a fatigued state, confronting them would be almost suicidal, since there is no effective method to deal with those Quantum Ghosts at present.

However, the fleet Zhang Menglong was with was very fortunate. Apart from the first encounter with an attack, things went smoothly afterward, with no further incidents.

Almost following the original plan, the transport fleet sailed into the capital of the Moruo Holy Nation.

At the port, a spaceship was already waiting for them.

Zhang Menglong walked out with Siak and others. To greet them was a middle-aged man who looked extremely stern. His eyes were deep, as if nothing could ever catch him off guard.

"May I ask who is the owner of the caravan?"

"Hello, I am Siak." Siak quickly stepped forward and said.

"Hello, Mr. Siak. I am Beans, the leader of the special operations group of Soul Hunters. Thank you for delivering this crucial batch of resources to our Moruo Holy Nation!" The middle-aged man shook hands with Siak.

Originally, Siak was planning to sell these resources to some large buyers within the capital, but they were intercepted by the government forces.

In the hands of the government, these resources could be allocated most reasonably. Otherwise, a large portion might end up in the hands of the wealthy elite and those with special privileges, rendering this batch of Soul Silver meaningless.

Of course, the price offered by the government was not low at all, even increasing by 20% over the original price. It was clear their demand for Soul Silver had reached an extremely exaggerated level.

"Captain Beans, you’re too kind. I’m just a businessman, essentially still pursuing profit."

"Hahaha, Mr. Siak, you are indeed a straightforward person," Beans said, evidently appreciating those who speak their minds, "We’ve arranged resting places for you all, with Soul Hunters providing protection around the clock. If you feel tired, you can take a rest first."

"No need, as long as we’re in the country, nowhere is safe." Siak declined.

"That’s true," Beans showed a trace of helplessness on his face, "In that case, we won’t keep you. Purchases of this batch of Soul Silver will be transferred to Mr. Siak’s account within three days. You know, such transactions generally take a while."

"Not a problem, I understand."

"We also hope to request something from Mr. Siak," Beans said, "It is said your fleet captured a Quantum Ghost and killed it?"

"All thanks to Mr. Zhang’s efforts," Siak started describing excitedly, "At that time, we didn’t know what was happening. Several crew members on the spacecraft were attacked, some dying instantly, others just falling into a coma."

"Mr. Zhang suddenly disappeared, seemingly fighting with that monster. A few minutes later, he returned with its corpse and even revived the dead ones. I saw it with my own eyes, and there wasn’t a single lie. He’s truly amazing, you definitely should award Mr. Zhang!"

The special operations group had heard Siak describe the event once, yet listening to it again still filled them with curiosity about the scene, even after having watched the spacecraft’s surveillance footage.

They had no idea how Zhang Menglong disappeared or how he killed that Quantum Ghost. The fact that Zhang Menglong revived people astonished them even more.

"May I ask who is Mr. Zhang?"

"Director, long time no see," Captain Eno walked out with Zhang Menglong at this time, "This is Mr. Zhang."

"Eno?" Beans also immediately recognized Eno, "Indeed, long time no see. After you left, did you become a captain of a private fleet?"

"Just trying to make a living," Eno laughed.

"Actually, you should have stayed. Under the current circumstances, the special operations team desperately needs your capabilities. I know that incident back then greatly affected you, but what’s past is past. How about reconsidering? There will always be a place for you here."

"Never mind," Eno smiled, "There are others better suited for this, and I have already decided not to remain in the special operations group. Even if others can forgive me, I cannot forgive myself."

Zhang Menglong glanced at Eno with suspicion, wondering what untold stories this captain had.

"In that case, I won’t force you," Leader Beans sighed.

"Apologies Mr. Zhang, got caught up reminiscing and wasted your time." Beans bowed to Zhang Menglong.

Zhang Menglong could tell that Beans possessed the strength of a Realm Breaker, and the group behind him comprised almost all Realm Breakers as well!

"Mr. Zhang, you are the first to successfully kill such a Quantum Ghost. Please accept the respect of our entire special operations group!"

Before this, these Quantum Ghosts had no name, for no one knew what kind of existence they were. As the first to kill one, the name Zhang Menglong gave to these creatures held considerable authority.

"I was just fortunate."

"I don’t believe in luck," Beans shook his head, smiling, "Mr. Zhang must have some understanding of these Quantum Ghosts to be able to kill one."

"I’ve done some research," Zhang Menglong smiled, "I consider myself a supernatural biologist, always fascinated by studying unique creatures, like basketball-playing chickens and vegetarian pigs and monkeys."

Suddenly, the entire special operations group bowed to Zhang Menglong, "Mr. Zhang, please, you must join our special operations group to guide us in defeating these Quantum Ghosts!"
