Chapter 5 The Second Global Summit

Five days after the full outbreak of the beast tide.

Seven more countries had completely fallen, their territories becoming playgrounds for monsters.

Meanwhile, world powers like the European Union, Russia, and Yan Huang, with the powerful deterrent of nuclear weapons, had prevented large-scale beast tides from erupting within their borders, though small-scale harassments continued unabated.

Under the relentless assault of the beast tide, countries without nuclear weapons were being driven to the brink. The vast and rapidly reproducing beast kings launched wars day and night, turning cities into ruins.

As armies retreated from cities, the heart-wrenching and desperate cries of civilians in shelters formed the world's most tragic scene.

But what truly worried the powerful nations was not the fall of the smaller ones. The battle off the coast of Australia shattered the myth of the global evolutionary forces, and the leaders of the powerful nations finally realized that their attitudes toward the evolutionary forces and traditional weapons had been wrong.

Both in terms of numbers and evolutionary pathways, human evolutionaries were far inferior to the beast king groups.

Even if all of humanity hardened their hearts and used radiation-contaminated water to gamble on mutation, using the same method as the birth of the beast king族群, it would not be enough!

Because the global population had already dwindled to just over two hundred million. The vast beast king groups born from the tens of billions of life forms in the sea... in terms of base numbers alone, humanity had already suffered a crushing defeat.

Everyone sensed a terrifying possibility...

Humanity might truly be on the verge of extinction.

The human civilization would be replaced by the beast king civilization!

This terrifying sentiment spread rapidly across the globe.

In this context, the second global summit was convened.

...

In a vast conference room, numerous projectors rose, displaying the images of leaders from various countries.

Unlike the previous meeting, the President of the European Union did not speak first. In just five days, he had lost several pounds, his face was pale, and he looked a decade older. The defeat of the Allied forces in Australia had been a severe blow, making him gravely ill.

"Gentlemen, we no longer have time to waste in idleness."

The Yan Huang Chief spoke first, his expression very serious. "The beast tide is constantly encroaching on our homes, our warriors and families are dying, and we must come up with a solution!"

The leaders of the other nations remained silent.

"I believe that all internal conflicts should be stopped immediately. We should abandon all past conflicts and hatred, and unite all human compatriots we can contact to form a global alliance!"

"Shared interests, shared technology, shared resources!"

A national leader spoke. While he was on the video conference, his country was under a fierce attack by the beast tide. Although he knew his suggestion would not be agreed to by the major powers, he still plucked up the courage to put it forward.

As expected, his words were immediately supported by a group of smaller countries without nuclear weapons.

"Ceasing internal conflicts is necessary, and forming a global alliance is possible, but the three 'shares' are not." The President of the European Union said. This proposal was tantamount to forcibly kidnapping smaller countries and binding them to the major powers. In other words, the major powers had previously only needed to protect their own territories, but now they had to protect several more countries, which would not provide significant benefits in return...

It was simply impossible!

"I believe..." the President of Russia began to speak.

After some discussion, a moderate result was finally reached.

"We can share technology within the alliance, this is our biggest concession," said the President of the European Union.

In the end, the President of the European Union's statement was recognized by the major powers.

The global alliance was officially established. Within the alliance, the five major powers on the permanent council had the obligation to share technology and provide fire support to member states. At the same time, member states, after obtaining spoils of war, must hand over a portion to the council, which would allocate them according to needs.

After discussing the alliance, the national leaders began to share information and statistical damage reports.

"Kaimera, twelve city-level shelters were captured in the past 24 hours, 36,595 soldiers were killed, 655 evolutionaries died, and 186 beast kings were killed..."

"Chenbang, eight city-level shelters were captured in 24 hours..."

Half an hour later, the national leaders had all reported the damage within their respective countries, and a suffocating atmosphere enveloped the entire conference room.

From the data, almost every country had suffered heavy losses. Except for a few major powers, the evolutionary forces of almost all small countries without nuclear weapons had suffered losses of more than 50%. The cruel reality told them that these evolutionary forces, built with all their national strength, could not save their countries!

There was a deathly silence in the conference room.

"Damn it! I really regret recklessly investing heavily in evolutionary research. If we had retained a large number of traditional weapons manufacturing lines within our borders, things probably wouldn't be like this..." Suddenly, someone broke down and cried. It was the President of Dakanda, the country with the most severe damage in the data reported earlier.

He cried bitterly, his emotions collapsing, and then he closed the video call and left the meeting.

The departure of one national leader did not have much impact on the meeting, which continued.

At this moment, a man in a general's uniform suddenly broke into the European Union conference room. He was holding a document in his arms, panting, and after taking a deep breath, he addressed the national leaders on the projectors: "Presidents, Chiefs, I apologize for the interruption, but I have something very important to inform you of. We have discovered something!"

The national leaders watched him quietly, with some doubts, but they did not ask any questions.

The general opened the document in his arms and projected it onto the large screen.

There were some photos, nineteen in total!

"This photo is from Kandia... this photo is from Walenda! This photo is from Dingdi!" The general flipped through the photos one by one, stating their sources. The national leaders gradually realized that these city names were all ruined cities that had been destroyed by the beast tide in the past five days!

"Yes, these photos are all from ruined cities. After the monsters invaded the cities, they occupied them. Each city has a large number of beast kings and mutated beasts entrenched, they killed the local troops and evolutionary soldiers, and used them as their nests..." The general's voice was low, and then he directly zoomed in on the photos, pointing to the content and saying: "But just yesterday, our reconnaissance satellites captured... these monsters occupying the ruined cities were all killed!"

The images on the photos were imprinted in everyone's eyes.

In the ruined cities, countless corpses of mutated beasts were scattered in disorder.

Through the wounds on the remains, it could be found that their cause of death was being killed by cold weapons, which was very consistent with the combat style of the evolutionary forces!

The breathing of the national leaders became heavy.

It should be known that this beast tide was different from the previous ones. Even a small number of beast kings occupying a ruined city could definitely destroy an evolutionary force of three thousand people head-on. The crushing slaughter power shown by the intelligence-type and Divine Descent-type beast kings when facing atavistic evolutionaries was simply too unsolvable!

But a city of monsters like this was actually silently wiped out?

What a powerful fighting force this was!

"In the ruins, we didn't find any corpses of this evolutionary team..." The general continued: "But according to our trace experts, from the very beginning in Delmar City, their number would not exceed 500 people!"

The national leaders took another deep breath, feeling their muscles trembling.

500 people!

Slaughter a city of monsters and leave no corpses behind!

What did this mean?

It meant that the other side won very easily, a completely crushing victory!

This kind of combat power completely surpassed any known evolutionary force, and could even be said to be worlds apart.

If the fighting power of the European Union's Seven Corners Continent force was 1 at this time, then the fighting power of this mysterious team was at least 20 or more!

"What about the other side's information?" A leader asked urgently.

"In the ruins, we found blood-colored flags all over the mountains... with their names printed on them." The general took out a blood-colored flag that was folded neatly.

The Pioneer Legion! (tuo huang zhe jun tuan)

At this moment, all the national leaders participating in the meeting saw the name written in five extremely standard Yan Huang characters.

All eyes turned to the Yan Huang Chief.

But under the spotlight, the Yan Huang Chief... shook his head.

"This... is not our team!"

Hearing the Yan Huang Chief's denial, everyone was stunned for a moment and then quickly reacted. The other side was a private armed force!

"Track down this team immediately!"

"Find them at all costs!"

"This kind of power is the hope of resisting the beast kings!"

The eyes of the national leaders became fanatical, excited, and even somewhat greedy!

At this time, the Yan Huang Chief closed his eyes.

For some reason, a person suddenly appeared in his mind.

This person had once broken into the Western Frontier Military Region and become a wanted criminal throughout Yan Huang.

This person had once been wanted all over the world, and had disappeared for a time, as if dead.

Although there was no evidence to prove it, the Yan Huang Chief had a strong feeling in his heart that the Pioneer Legion was related to Li Tianran, who had fled from the Western Frontier Military Region!

"You once stumbled and fled Yan Huang, not even daring to reveal your name..."

The Yan Huang Chief's expression was calm: "Are you now choosing to use this method to declare your rise to the world?"

"Having mastered the power of evolution, you think you are a wolf? Exposing yourself to these powerful countries like this, you will soon know... you are still a sheep."

The Yan Huang Chief pressed the off button, and the screen went dark.

"Too naive," he muttered to himself.
