Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!

Seeing this, Lei Bao roared and pounced on Chi Linglong on the wall like a cannonball.

Seeing his speed, Chi Linglong's eyes revealed a hint of disdain.

She slowly drew her longsword, her movements so slow that everyone present could clearly see the trajectory of the blade leaving its sheath inch by inch.

But the moment the sword tip completely left the scabbard, Lei Bao rushed in front of him.

A sharp, white sword light exploded before everyone's eyes, so fast it was as if a frame of time had been pulled away.

Lei Bao froze in mid-air, his body sliding forward a few meters before a thin line of blood split open from his brow to his abdomen. He crashed to the ground behind Chi Linglong, kicking up a cloud of choking dust.

From drawing the sword to sheathing it, it was only a blink of an eye.

There was complete silence beneath the wall.

Zhou Yaozu's eyes widened, his mouth gaped open enough to fit a fist, and he slumped down as if his bones had been removed.

What kind of strength is this?

An S-class mutant was instantly killed in one move?

This is really like kicking a hornet's nest!

His thugs were also stunned by the scene. Some retreated, some couldn't even hold their guns steady, and some threw down their weapons and ran away.

Zhou Yaozu's legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, his forehead hitting the concrete floor. He trembled all over, speaking so quickly as if afraid the other party would change their mind at any moment:

"Heroine, spare my life!"

Please, heroine, spare my life!

I am the son of Zhou Zhengxiong of the New Jinling Safety Zone!

My name is Zhou Yaozu!

My father is powerful and influential; he can give you anything you want!

Crystal cores, supplies, weapons—anything is negotiable!

Don't kill me! Please don't kill me!

Although Zhou Yaozu was a playboy, he wasn't stupid.

Knowing he couldn't escape from under the nose of a mutant who could kill Lei Bao in one move, he immediately backed down and offered up his own value.

In his mind, everything has a price, and as long as the benefits are substantial enough, even blood feuds can turn into partnerships!

Chi Linglong lowered her gaze to him and remained silent for a long time.

Killing this spoiled brat wouldn't be difficult, but the power behind him seems pretty formidable.

If this incident disrupts Lin Mo's plans, then it would be a loss.

She eventually sheathed her sword and gave instructions to the soldiers behind her:

"Lock him in the underground solitary confinement room. We'll deal with him when the city lord returns."

Everyone else, disarm! Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!

The message was quickly relayed back to the New Jinling Safe Zone by the survivors scattered throughout the outer ruins.

Zhou Zhengxiong was in a meeting with several high-ranking officials when he heard the news that his son had led a group to cause trouble in Shuguang City without authorization and had been detained on the spot. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, causing several spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the solid wood table surface.

"Who let him go? Who gave him the guts? That damn good-for-nothing!"

It's one thing for him to act like a tyrant in the safe zone, but now he's gone and caused trouble on someone else's turf, and even got detained on the spot—doesn't he know what it means to be utterly disgraceful?!

The several high-ranking officials present remained silent, none daring to speak.

Zhou Zhengxiong took a deep breath to suppress his surging anger, but the ruthlessness in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

After all, he had been through so much in the apocalypse that he was able to rise to the position of a regional overlord, and that was because he never fought an unprepared battle.

He immediately sent out several groups of spies to infiltrate Dawn City to gather information, while he returned to the command post to start sorting out the ins and outs of the matter.

To rise so quickly and even dare to detain his son, this force could not possibly be so fearless without a powerful figure backing it up.

He needs to figure out Dawn City's true strength before he can decide what to do next.

To Zhou Zhengxiong's utter surprise, the spies went one after another, but they found almost no valuable clues.

Dawn City's defenses are too tight. The insiders are tight-lipped about core information, and even the survivors queuing at the exchange window know nothing about it.

The only certainty is that the woman who attacked on the wall that day was indeed powerful, but no one knows for sure what her background or strength is.

Ultimately, the truly valuable breakthrough lies in the official survivor camp in Dajiang City.

The spies from New Jinling somehow obtained a registration document from there, confirming that the person in charge of Dawn City was named Lin Mo, and that he had previously registered at the official camp in Dajiang City.

Official records indicate he was a Class A mutant, but he was later rewarded with a high-level gene serum for bringing back a crucial centrifuge.

The official notes speculate that this person may be hiding some of their strength, but their maximum potential will not exceed SS level.

After all, every SSS-level expert in this world is a well-known and powerful figure, and they could never just appear out of thin air. They had never heard of Lin Mo before.

It's highly likely that he's a recent upstart. Even if he got lucky and had some kind of opportunity, it's already amazing that he could break through to SS level in such a short time. It's impossible for him to exceed that limit.

As for that woman, since she is Lin Mo's subordinate, her strength is most likely not higher than Lin Mo's.

Based on this, we can infer that both of them are at the SS level!

Having pieced together most of the facts, Zhou Zhengxiong leaned back in the tiger-skin chair in the command post and remained silent for a long while.

His fingers tapped slowly on the armrest, and suddenly he let out a low chuckle:

"interesting.

With two newly promoted SS-level experts appearing in one go, what opportunity did Dawn City encounter to rise so quickly?

However, this may also be an opportunity. Their foundation is unstable and they are short of resources and allies. If we can take this opportunity to win them over, the strength of our new Jinling will surely reach a new level.

As for that good-for-nothing son...

This became the perfect excuse to meet.

He immediately ordered his men to prepare a batch of generous gifts and write him a letter, saying that his son had been unruly and offended Shuguang City, and that he, Zhou Zhengxiong, had failed in his duty to educate his son. He promised to personally visit and apologize another day.

We also sincerely invite Dawn City to join the new Jinling, with conditions at our discretion.

Be polite and courteous, but also convey a certain meaning through your words.

I respect you as a talented person and am willing to be your friend, but only if you give me some face.
