Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 822 - 593 Purge Eternal Night City

"What about Eternal Night City... how should we handle it?" The representative from Tech City raised a question.

It remains uncertain whether other cities harbor specialized mutated zerg like the "潜伏者," but it is confirmed that Eternal Night City does have them.

The cities representing the battle may only be the tip of the iceberg. Who knows how many zerg disguised as humans are still hidden within their borders?

As the first city confirmed to host these creatures, the newborn alliance must completely eradicate the zerg threat within Eternal Night City to instill confidence in all cities across the alliance in their fight against the Bug Race!

"Temporarily keep control over them; we can't allow information to leak within their city." The deputy marshal of the Imperial Capital Military District said gravely, "Bai E's sensory precision is limited. When the zerg and humans mix together, he can't accurately distinguish every target. We'll need to dispatch a reliable Vanguard team to swiftly apprehend every suspect once Bai E identifies them. Following that, each target can be further verified individually. Achieving this requires support from Eternal Night City's diplomatic team. I'll personally approach them and explain the stakes."

As the leader spearheading this alliance, the Imperial Capital demonstrated clear strategic thinking and decisive execution.

While gathering intelligence on thousands of cities, they not only prepared the urgent lists required by Bai E but also advanced the selection of the Vanguard squads and companion patrol plans for Bai E in parallel.

The newborn alliance brimmed with vitality; every participant was giving their all for humanity's greatest hope.

Three days later, after thoroughly patrolling the Imperial Capital, Bai E made his initial conclusion, "Nothing."

The Imperial Capital's defense was unparalleled, and even the nearest zerg hives hadn't dared to approach. The absence of infiltrated zerg was well within everyone's expectations.

Still, upon hearing the news, the deputy marshal of the Imperial Capital Military District breathed a deep sigh of relief, "Good to hear there aren't any."

If zerg had infiltrated the Imperial Capital, he would truly struggle to imagine where humanity's hope could lie.

"Then it's time to move out." The blond man said eagerly.

The Vanguard team tasked with the decapitation mission targeting Eternal Night City's zerg mutations was under his command.

With both the Imperial Capital's War God and Blackwater City's Bai E as the dual pillars of security, this first strike against the unique zerg mutations promised perfection.

The diplomats of Eternal Night City, detained for three days, were also released, as they were critical players in this special operation.

The Vanguard team decided to disguise themselves as an envoy group from the Imperial Capital to visit Eternal Night City. This signified the importance placed on Eternal Night City's potential inclusion in the Human Alliance's Supreme Council as one of its five governing members.

And this initial layer of deception was to be carried out with the cooperation of Eternal Night City's diplomatic team.

The priority of this mission surpassed everything, even preempting the return of individuals to their respective alliance cities!

"You all should return first, inform the residents within the city about the outcome of the tournament, and ask them... are they prepared to engage with other cities in the surrounding regions?"

Having led people to victory in the competition, it was now their turn to integrate resources from all regional cities.

Everything, absolutely everything, was done for the ultimate goal.

"Understood, sir!" The diplomatic team and storm warriors responded in unison.

With this, Bai E could confidently join the Vanguard team from the Imperial Capital as they set off for Eternal Night City.

The Vanguard team numbered over a hundred and, together with Eternal Night City's diplomatic envoy, formed an imposing convoy heading north from the Imperial Capital.

The convoy steadily headed north, and the temperature gradually dropped.

The arrival of extraterrestrial species had permanently altered the planet's climate, with the environment around the polar regions becoming increasingly inhospitable for human life.

Yet humanity's adaptability to its environment far exceeded imagination. Even in regions near the polar zones, there were several cities where humans had taken root. Among them, Eternal Night City, situated directly within the polar circle, was the most environmentally challenging.

It was precisely this harsh environment that forged their incredibly resilient, cold-resistant physiques.

Even without the invasion of "潜伏者" mutated zerg, the warriors of this city boasted strength that ranked among the finest within the Human Alliance.

Yet, perhaps due to resource constraints, this city found itself in a far worse position in its struggles against the Bug Race than Blackwater City ever had.

Through idle chatter with Eternal Night City's diplomats along the route, Bai E and others speculated that the city's defensive strategy of retreating and fortifying against the Bug Race might have inadvertently provided an opening for the zerg mutations to replace and disguise themselves as humans.

But regardless of the reason, this complex issue now fell upon their shoulders to solve.

While still some distance away from Eternal Night City, Bai E sensed a surge of malevolent energy erupting into the skies.

The slimy, shadowy imagery assaulted Bai E's mind repeatedly—zerg energies were already restlessly stirring deep within the earth on the horizon.

"We're getting close..." Bai E's gaze grew profound.

Compared to wandering orcs, dormant AI constructs, and demons lurking in higher-dimensional spaces, these zerg lingering in the real world remained humanity's greatest nemesis!

"We're about to enter the city..." Eternal Night City's diplomat said awkwardly, "To conserve energy usage, many areas within the city aren't furnished with lighting. I hope the esteemed gentlemen can kindly bear with it."
