When Wen Yu finished his personal grooming and stood before the mirror, he suddenly felt much more vigorous.
Wen Yu wasnât handsome, but at least he wasnât ugly!
Furthermore, his powerful strength had transformed his body, making it seem like a precisely crafted machine!
Combined with the cold, sharp aura honed by what could only be described as savage combat experience, his overall presence gained significant points!
His sharply defined muscles rippled with even the simplest movement.
That "simple movement" was him scrubbing Cyclops on the floorâwith his foot.
"WOOF."
"Boss, I was wrong."
"You realize your mistake now."
"WOOF."
"Understood."
"What did Boss teach you?"
"WOOF WOOF."
"Admit your mistakes; stand straight when being punished!"
Wen Yu nodded, then gave Cyclops a strange smile.
"Well then, accept your punishment."
ă...ă
When Wen Yu, dressed in a black long coat, stepped out of the room, Star stumbled out from behind, convulsed with laughter.
Accompanied by Starâs "HEH HEH HEH" laughter, Cyclops walked out looking pitiful.
He was dressed in a pink pet outfit, with a large red flower tied to his head.
Yes, with this getup, Cyclops at least qualifies as a cute pet.
Seeing the pleading look in Cyclopsâs eyes, Wen Yu squatted down and patted Cyclopsâs head.
"One whole day. You have to wear it for one whole day."
Cyclopsâs head drooped, and he instantly fell silent.
"Donât worry, you look quite cute. This is an outfit Boss carefully picked for you. It will definitely awaken the tender hearts of young girls!"
Hearing Wen Yuâs reassurance, Cyclopsâs eyes instantly lit up.
"WOOF WOOF."
"Is it true, Boss?"
"Absolutely. Very handsome."
"Havenât you ever seen a pet dog in clothes? They look great! Besides, you just had a bath, so you should change into new clothes. Didnât I, your Boss, just change into a new set?"
"WOOF WOOF."
"It just feels a bit strange."
When Wen Yu heard Cyclopsâs words, he stood up straight, but the corners of his eyes couldnât help twitching.
Clearly, Wen Yu was also struggling to suppress his laughter.
ă...ă
When Wen Yu found Wang Zhigang, Wang Zhigang was in his office organizing documents.
Donât assume office work is obsolete in the apocalypse. At least in the current environment, humanityâs living space isnât small. While they might not be the absolute Dominators of this planet, they are undoubtedly the most powerful race!
As the big boss of Central City, Wang Zhigang had a tremendous amount of work to process!
When he saw Wen Yu entering his office, Wang Zhigang nodded and then looked curiously at Cyclops, who was in Wen Yuâs arms.
"This is..."
"Oh, my battle pet."
Wang Zhigangâs eyes couldnât help but twitch a couple of times.
This is a Level 4 battle pet! What on earth are you doing, dressing it up like this?
A Level 4 battle pet! Anyone else would be cherishing it like an ancestor!
"Does he look nice?"
Hearing Wen Yuâs question, tinged with amusement, Wang Zhigang simply nodded.
Cyclops, upon hearing Wang Zhigangâs affirmative response, immediately became gleeful. "What do you think? What do you think? What did Boss say?"
"WOOF WOOF! The Boss is truly mighty and impressive!"
He then wriggled out of Wen Yuâs arms and began hopping joyfully around on the ground.
Before Cyclops could gloat for more than a moment, Wen Yu grabbed him by the tail.
"Alright, alright, business first. Then you can do whatever you want."
Hearing Wen Yuâs words, Cyclops immediately quieted down.
Playtime was playtime, but when it came to serious business, there was absolutely no room for joking around.
"Now, I want to contact the military."
At Wen Yuâs words, Wang Zhigang immediately stood up.
"Letâs go. Iâll take you to the communications room."
ă...ă
In the early stages of the apocalypse, utilities such as electricity and communications had naturally been mostly destroyed by zombies or mutant beasts.
But once humanity reacted, everything was quickly restored to normal!
After all, thanks to the existence of the Exchange Stone Pillar, the speed of Human Evolution wasnât inferior to that of mutant beasts. The reason their high-end combatants were fewer than those of the mutant beasts was not only due to the divine beast species but also because the mutant beasts vastly outnumbered Humans!
When the military passed through Mudanjiang City, its technical personnel had already restored communication capabilities between Mudanjiang City and the military headquarters!
"Ordinary wired communications are no longer usable. The military now uses satellite communication. According to their technicians, at the start of the apocalypse, the invasion of Demonic Qi caused changes in Earthâs magnetic field, rendering the original satellites unusable. The satellites currently used for communication are a âmodded versionâ exclusive to the militaryâs technical personnel."
Saying this, Wang Zhigang pushed open the door to the communications room.
Then, he muttered under his breath.
Who the hell knows what this Demonic Qi even is.
A thought flashed through Wen Yuâs mind.
It seems the military high command has suppressed information about Demonic Qi and Demon Fiends.
Then he glanced at the dazzling array of instruments inside the communications room.
The militaryâs hidden depths?
Clearly, the military hadnât abandoned technological strength just because the evolution system had appeared.
After all, technology is the true foundation of humanityâs dominion over Earth!
ă...ă
"Commander!"
The uniformed personnel inside, seeing Wang Zhigang enter, immediately stood at attention and gave him a respectful military salute.
Noticing the slightly amused look in Wen Yuâs eyes, Wang Zhigang turned and explained.
"As the commander of Central City, I naturally hold a position in the military as well. Hmm, my current rank is Captain."
"Captain Wang!"
Wen Yu jokingly gave Wang Zhigang a less-than-standard military salute.
"Oh, come on. You think I want this? Being constrained everywhere because of this rank... If it werenât for my old comrades I canât bring myself to leave, Iâd have been out there roaming the world like you long ago."
"Alright, no more joking. Connect the communications."
Wang Zhigang said to the communications officer.
Instead, the communications officer looked hesitantly at Wang Zhigang and Wen Yu.
"Um, Captain Xiao isnât here. I donât have the authority to initiate communications..."
When Wen Yu killed the uniformed man, Wang Zhigang had suppressed the news.
"Heâs dead. Iâm authorizing the connection now; itâs in accordance with emergency regulations."
"Yes, Commander!"
Hearing Wang Zhigangâs words, the communications officer offered no pointless objections and immediately turned to work the console.
Thatâs a true soldierâobeying orders, swift and decisive.
And from a certain perspective, it was also clear that the uniformed man hadnât been well-liked.
With a series of CRACKLING sounds, the large screen mounted on the communications room wall quickly lit up.
Then, a woman in military uniform, appearing to be under 30 years old, appeared on the large screen.
Her neat uniform and a serious, unsmiling face made her otherwise quite attractive features seem several degrees less appealing.
Behind the uniformed woman, the bustling interior of the militaryâs massive communications center was clearly visible, teeming with numerous busy military communications personnel.
"Heilongjiang Province, Mudanjiang City settlement, greetings. I am from the 7th Squad, 13th Company, Military Communications Department, internal ID 115896, responsible for this call with the Mudanjiang City settlement. How may I assist you?"
Hearing the words of the uniformed woman on the screen, Wen Yu gently pushed aside the communications officer sitting before the screen and took the seat himself.
Cradling the pink-clad Cyclops, with Star perched on his head, he calmly observed the military headquartersâ communications officer on the screen, then spoke.
"I am Sequence Number 2!"
