Currently, she still couldn't leave; she had to wait for Mao Wudi and the other two to completely unify Dream City, and for them to uncover the whereabouts of the 990,000 missing bodies.

However, everything that happened here needed to be reported to the base as soon as possible. The more than one hundred captives, including Wan Youyu, also had to be quickly escorted back to the base for interrogation, hoping to obtain some valuable information from Wan Youyu as early as possible.

But Yun Qianqian knew in her heart that this would be extremely difficult, but it was worth a try.

Upon returning to the command post, Yun Qianqian quickly penned a letter, in which she meticulously documented the situation there: Wan Youyu's arrogant words, the peculiar nature of the scarlet left eye, and the circumstances of the 990,000 missing bodies were all included. Even the indescribable unease in her heart was not omitted.

She handed the letter to Kong Ling and instructed:

"Kong Ling, deliver this letter to Xiao Nan Ren. Remember, you must personally hand it to him; no one else is to do it on your behalf."

As Da Bai Tu finished her instructions, Kong Ling nodded in acknowledgement, and her figure vanished into the void in an instant.

Meanwhile, inside the Giant Tiger Alliance headquarters building in Dream City, Hu Banshan stood anxiously by the floor-to-ceiling window, his brows deeply furrowed, his gaze fixed on the Brothers Alliance's sphere of influence in the distance.

As one of the Three Giants, all belonging to and competing within Dream City, Hu Banshan maintained a high degree of vigilance regarding the Brothers Alliance's abnormal actions. The intelligence he possessed was more detailed than that of the Three Overlord Powers. Unfortunately, he was unaware of the existence of Super Individuals and Slash Zombies, and naturally could not infer how terrifying Wan Youyu and his half-zombie army's strength truly was.

However, he clearly knew that the area where Wan Youyu was located had completely become a dead city, and his subordinates had all turned into half-human, half-zombie forms. The grand scale of the Three Overlord Powers' encirclement operation naturally did not escape his notice.

At this moment, he urgently wanted to know whether the encirclement resulted in victory or defeat. If the encirclement succeeded, would the Three Overlord Powers then target the Giant Tiger Alliance? If the encirclement failed, that would be even more terrifying, as it would mean Wan Youyu's true strength far surpassed the Giant Tiger Alliance's. Given Wan Youyu's deranged nature, Hu Banshan didn't even dare to imagine what kind of treatment the Giant Tiger Alliance would face next.

However, clinging to power, he was unwilling to relinquish his authority and status. He could only wait and silently pray that both sides would suffer heavy losses, allowing him to reap the benefits. He even considered taking advantage of the Brothers Alliance's severe damage to directly wipe out and annex all of their territory.

Hu Banshan's fingers unconsciously tapped on the cold tempered glass; outside, Dream City was enveloped in a strange silence.

The soaring flames and energy fluctuations from the Brothers Alliance's direction had long vanished, but that dead silence instead made people's hearts pound even more.

There was no jubilation after victory, nor chaos after defeat. It was as if that entire area had been swallowed by something, leaving not even a speck behind.

"Alliance Leader," a trusted subordinate hurried over, his voice hushed and filled with undisguised terror,

"The 'Shadow' sent to observe the perimeter has sent back a message... the Three Overlord Powers are making a move."

Hu Banshan spun around abruptly, his eyes gleaming: "A move? What kind of move? Are they retreating or..."

"Not retreating!"

The subordinate quickly shook his head, his face pale,

"Mao Wudi, Tie Zhenshan, and Rou Moyu are personally leading their teams, along with all the elite warriors they brought, frantically expanding their search radius from the Brothers Alliance's fortress ruins as the center!

They are setting up a blockade, Alliance Leader!

Every entrance and exit in Dream City, all sewer outlets, abandoned subway tunnels... everything is being tightly sealed off by the Three Overlord Powers' forces!

They are setting up barriers and deploying energy detectors. Judging by the scale... they intend to let not even a single rat escape!"

A blockade? A top-level blockade?

Hu Banshan's heart felt as if it had been gripped by a cold hand.

This was definitely not how victors behaved!

Victors would count their spoils, flaunt their power, and eagerly divide territory, not act like this, as if facing a formidable enemy, sealing off the entire city as a giant cage!

"And..."

The subordinate swallowed, his voice even lower, trembling with disbelief,

"The search teams... are digging like mad.

Not just the ruins, but all warehouses, underground parking lots, and even some inconspicuous residential basements belonging to the Brothers Alliance have been forcibly opened and thoroughly searched!

They... they seem to be looking for something, looking for a lot of... 'things.'"

"Looking for what?" Hu Banshan's voice was dry and hoarse.

"It's unclear exactly what, but according to a few people who saw it from afar... the expressions on those warriors' faces were like they'd seen ghosts, both shocked and terrified, muttering about 'bodies,' 'numbers,' 'transfer'..."

The subordinate recounted with difficulty,

"Moreover, Mao Wudi and Tie Zhenshan personally ordered that all remaining people within the Brothers Alliance's sphere of influence who were still breathing, regardless of their previous roles, be rounded up and are currently undergoing intensive interrogation!

By the looks of it, they intend to turn the Brothers Alliance inside out, from people to objects, every inch of the place, digging up every single bit of earth!"

Bodies... transfer... interrogation... city-wide blockade... these keywords collided violently in Hu Banshan's mind.

What exactly did that madman Wan Youyu do?

To make the Three Overlord Powers so distraught?

To make them so desperate to blockade an entire city?

That so-called "successful encirclement" probably came at an unimaginable cost, or perhaps... it wasn't successful at all?

Or rather, success merely uncovered the lid of something even more terrifying?

Although the Brothers Alliance was a dead city, with millions of lives erased by Wan Youyu, there would always be a very small number of shrewd survivors hiding in the shadows, barely clinging to life. It was unexpected that the Three Overlord Powers would even interrogate these remaining survivors. What exactly did that deranged Wan Youyu do to make the Three Overlord Powers so distraught?

He had previously fantasized about both sides suffering heavy losses and him reaping the benefits.

But now, looking at the scene described by his subordinate, a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

The power, determination, and pervasive panic exhibited by the Three Overlord Powers at this moment made Hu Banshan clearly realize a cruel truth:

In the face of the storm unleashed by Wan Youyu, his proud Giant Tiger Alliance might not even be worthy of being affected!

He was like an ant hiding in a corner, watching in terror as giants went mad after discovering a disaster capable of destroying the world.

Talk of annexing territory, or profiting from others' misfortunes, all became ridiculously absurd delusions.

The only thing he could do now was pray.

Pray that the Three Overlord Powers could find what they were looking for, pray that this storm would not affect him, and pray that his tiny ant's nest could, by chance, survive the giants' trampling.

He whirled around, shouting at his subordinate, his voice distorted by fear:

"Quick! Relay my order! Everyone in the Giant Tiger Alliance! Immediately! Right now! Contract the defense line! Abandon all outer strongholds! Everyone retreat to headquarters! Activate the highest level of defense! No one is to go out without my command! Not even a single fly is allowed to leave! Disobeying orders... will result in execution!"
