    Chapter 308

    After listening to Su Hao's explanation...

    Yashan seemed like a completely different person.

    He buried himself in books every single day.


    ---

    His former computer room gradually transformed into a study.

    Bookshelves filled every corner.

    Large banners hung from the walls.


    ---

    "Enrich yourself through knowledge. Create a better life."

    "Immerse yourself in learning. Enjoy the happiness that knowledge brings."

    "Books shape noble souls."


    ---

    Previously...

    Yashan had held an online meeting with the members of the Resistance Butcher Organization.

    Whatever he had said deeply moved the ten members.

    Most of them were still young.

    Inspired by Yashan...

    They all declared that they would return home, devote themselves to studying and research, spend five years improving themselves, and then reunite to completely overthrow the Resistance.


    ---

    Seeing this...

    Su Hao nodded with satisfaction.

    If Yashan could maintain this attitude...

    Five years later...

    He would undergo a complete transformation.

    He would no longer resemble the reckless gang leader from his previous life.


    ---

    Su Hao sighed softly.

    "It takes ten years to grow a tree..."

    "But a hundred years to cultivate a person."

    "Training a qualified assistant really isn't easy."


    ---

    Afterward...

    He once again immersed himself in researching the Mental Suppression Field and the Spatial Fluctuation Suppression Field.


    ---

    Thanks to the research materials provided by the Custodian...

    Su Hao had started with the correct direction from the very beginning.

    He simply needed to continue refining it.


    ---

    Three months passed in the blink of an eye.


    ---

    As temperatures gradually rose...

    Everything awakened from winter.

    The endless white snowfields slowly became covered with patches of green.


    ---

    One day...

    For the first time in quite a while...

    Yashan wasn't reading.

    Instead...

    He came looking for Su Hao.


    ---

    "Boss Wei."

    "I received news from Huaiyuan Town."


    ---

    "This year's Holy Summoner conferment ceremony will be held in Paradise Town on June twentieth."

    "Representatives from various cities have been invited as honorary guests."

    "We still have ten days."


    ---

    Su Hao stood up.

    He stretched lazily before walking outside.

    As he walked, he said calmly,

    "Yashan."


    ---

    "Our base was destroyed by the Resistance half a year ago."


    ---

    "It's time..."


    ---

    "To destroy their headquarters."


    ---

    Yashan immediately caught the key point.

    The Resistance headquarters?

    Boss Wei actually knew where it was?

    His eyes lit up.

    "Yes, Boss Wei!"


    ---

    The geography of Kitano Shu resembled a giant seahorse.

    Huaiyuan Town lay near the middle of its tail.

    Paradise Town was located near the tip of its mouth.

    The two places were extremely far apart.


    ---

    Traveling overland meant crossing endless glaciers...

    Frozen plateaus...

    Snow-covered mountain ranges...


    ---

    Besides the harsh environment...

    Powerful Secondary Star beasts lurked everywhere.


    ---

    Even worse...

    The surrounding space was among the most unstable anywhere on the Main Star.

    Someone could accidentally be transported to the Secondary Star at any moment.

    Without a balancing agent...

    Death was inevitable.


    ---

    Flying wasn't any easier.

    The freezing winds above the glaciers never ceased.

    Even the toughest flying summoned beasts could barely endure five minutes before freezing solid.


    ---

    Therefore...

    Anyone attempting the Summoner Achievement Road...

    Had no choice but to proceed one step at a time.


    ---

    Its difficulty...

    Could only be described as hellish.


    ---

    But...

    For Su Hao and Yashan...

    None of this mattered.


    ---

    Transform into the Earth Lord.

    Activate the High Temperature Rune.

    Then simply...

    Fly across.


    ---

    Neither of them cared in the slightest about becoming a Holy Summoner.

    There was no need to record the journey merely to obtain such a title.


    ---

    Whoosh—

    Whoosh—


    ---

    The two streaked across the snow-covered mountains.

    The freezing winds couldn't affect them in the slightest.


    ---

    Along the Summoner Achievement Road...

    Many summoners were still traveling together.


    ---

    Hearing thunder-like sounds overhead...

    They instinctively looked up.


    ---

    Two black figures tore through the freezing sky.

    They flew directly across the towering mountains before disappearing into the distance.


    ---

    "...What was that?"


    ---

    "Can fighter jets become Holy Summoners now?"


    ---

    ...


    ---

    After flying for nearly eight hours...

    Night completely fell.


    ---

    Only then did they finally cross the glaciers...

    And arrive at the famous Paradise Town.


    ---

    The town's appearance surprised both of them.


    ---

    They had assumed "Paradise Town" referred to a paradise for summoners.


    ---

    Instead...

    It was an enormous ice-and-snow amusement city.


    ---

    Although it was already ten o'clock at night...

    The streets remained brightly illuminated.

    Crowds filled every road.


    ---

    Everywhere were massive winter amusement parks.


    ---

    Sledding.

    Ice skating.

    Ski jumping.

    Snowboarding.

    Curling.

    Ice hockey.

    And countless other attractions.


    ---

    Following behind Su Hao...

    Yashan couldn't help suspecting everyone.

    Every tourist looked like a Resistance member to him.

    Finally...

    Unable to hold back any longer...

    He whispered,

    "Boss Wei..."

    "Is this really their headquarters?"

    "Are all these people members of the Resistance?"


    ---

    Without stopping to admire the scenery...

    Su Hao answered casually,

    "Of course not."


    ---

    "Most of them are ordinary tourists."

    "They arrived here by cruise ship or airplane."


    ---

    Yashan nodded.

    "I see..."


    ---

    "So what do we do now?"

    "We don't even know where they are."


    ---

    Su Hao replied calmly,

    "Nothing."


    ---

    "We'll just behave like tourists."


    ---

    "And wait."


    ---

    "In nine days..."

    "We'll adapt to whatever happens."


    ---

    If every problem required elaborate planning...

    Su Hao wouldn't accomplish much.


    ---

    Finding the Resistance wasn't difficult.


    ---

    Once their characteristics were identified...

    Searching for them was no harder than locating a needle with a magnet.


    ---

    For example...

    If Su Hao simply kept his radar active over Paradise Town for the next nine days...

    Recording every sudden appearance and disappearance of life signatures...

    Every Resistance member would eventually reveal themselves.


    ---

    There was absolutely no need to search manually.


    ---

    He could simply enjoy nine leisurely days in Paradise Town.

    Then...

    When everyone gathered for the conferment ceremony...

    Eliminate them all at once.


    ---

    Seeing Boss Wei's relaxed confidence...

    Yashan immediately felt reassured.


    ---

    As long as Boss Wei was present...

    Nothing was impossible.


    ---

    What Yashan didn't know...

    Was that Boss Wei had only spent two seconds thinking of that plan.


    ---

    It wasn't a display of extraordinary intelligence.


    ---

    It was simply the power that came from possessing enough knowledge...

    And enough strength.


    ---

    Su Hao activated his perception runes to their limit.


    ---

    His radar range...

    Originally five thousand meters...

    Rapidly expanded.


    ---

    Ten thousand meters.


    ---

    "Hm?"


    ---

    The instant his perception reached maximum range...

    Su Hao noticed something unusual.


    ---

    About eight thousand meters northwest...

    He sensed an enormous cluster of life signatures.


    ---

    They resembled humans.

    Yet...

    Their life force was astonishingly weak.


    ---

    It was as though countless dying people...

    Were barely clinging to life.


    ---

    This was the first time Su Hao had ever sensed such unusual life signatures.


    ---

    His curiosity was immediately piqued.


    ---

    Yashan noticed his reaction.

    "Boss Wei?"

    "What's wrong?"


    ---

    Su Hao lowered his voice.

    "Come."


    ---

    "Let's go take a look."


    ---

    Leaving Paradise Town behind...

    The two avoided everyone's attention.


    ---

    They sank underground...

    And quietly advanced through the earth.


    ---

    Eight thousand meters sounded far.

    But underground...

    It didn't take long.


    ---

    Soon...

    They reached their destination.


    ---

    Both slowly poked their heads out of the ground.

    Taking a careful breath...

    They surveyed their surroundings.


    ---

    The terrain rose and fell gently.

    Frozen grass covered the earth.

    Nothing appeared unusual.


    ---

    Su Hao pointed downward.

    "Let's go underground."

    "Quietly."


    ---

    Yashan nodded.


    ---

    Following Su Hao...

    They descended once more.


    ---

    Guided by his perception...

    Su Hao silently transformed the underground rock into a tunnel.


    ---

    The two continued descending.


    ---

    "It's here."

    Su Hao became cautious.


    ---

    They hung upside down from the tunnel ceiling.

    Slowly...

    They lowered their heads to peer inside.


    ---

    From below...

    Two heads suddenly emerged from the cave ceiling.

    The sight would have frightened anyone.


    ---

    They had expected darkness.


    ---

    Instead...

    The entire underground cavern was brightly illuminated.


    ---

    The full scene unfolded before their eyes.


    ---

    Both Su Hao...

    And Yashan...

    Froze.


    ---

    Even someone as experienced as Su Hao...

    Was momentarily stunned.


    ---

    Yashan's eyes turned bloodshot.

    They widened to their limit.


    ---

    His mouth opened slightly.

    Yet no sound came out.


    ---

    Even his breathing stopped.


    ---

    What they saw...

    Were countless naked infants.


    ---

    Each child was wrapped inside a thin, transparent cocoon...

    Suspended gently in midair.


    ---

    They floated peacefully.

    Their eyes remained closed.

    Curled into fetal positions.


    ---

    Like babies still resting inside their mothers' wombs.


    ---

    The entire scene possessed a strange...

    Almost sacred tranquility.


    ---

    But...

    There wasn't only one cocoon.


    ---

    There were thousands.


    ---

    They hung neatly in rows.

    Extending endlessly across the gigantic underground chamber.


    ---

    Below them...

    A semi-automated production line operated continuously.

    Day and night.


    ---

    Only a handful of workers monitored the machinery.


    ---

    This horrifying scene...

    Almost tore Yashan's soul apart.
