City H, the western district.

Atop the rooftop of a certain skyscraper.

Listining to the howling winds all around, Yun Zhongtian's body was shivering. The scenes that had just taken place in his office were still circling in his mind, stirring his heart. Nearby, the enigmatic man from the City of Yin and Time was in deep thought.

"It seems we have to start that plan several days early!" the mysterious man suddenly spoke, "They've already found that ancient wolf from Que Mountain, but they probably aren't yet aware of our intentions, so we must initiate the plan immediately."

"We're short by a hundred wolves on the last transport, will the ones we have now suffice?" Yun Zhongtian asked, his eyes filled with concern. Because Campus Hero might have discovered his connection with the Terry Pharmaceuticals group, he had to quickly figure out a way to sever ties with the pharmaceutical giant.

"It'll be enough!" the mysterious man said, "Time is what we're lacking more than wolves at the moment! So, all we can do is to press for time!"

"Mm!"

Suddenly, the mysterious man instantly moved next to Yun Zhongtian, took his hand, and brought him in front of the Terry Pharmaceuticals factory.

"You go and get those werewolves out, then hide properly in the safe room! Remember, follow my command for everything that happens later," instructed the mysterious man to Yun Zhongtian. After speaking, he laughed fiercely up to the sky, then added, "Once you come out, you will witness the drastic change that has befallen this city!"

Yun Zhongtian nodded, smiling slightly, his gaze filled with longing. He was well aware that before a city can undergo earth-shattering changes, it must first experience widespread destruction, and their plan was to accelerate this destruction, despite the high price paid in blood and lives!

"By the way!" Yun Zhongtian's eyes twinkled, "If possible, I hope to see the news of those two Campus Heroes' sacrifice tomorrow!"

The enigmatic man sounded an "Mm", and as soon as he spoke, his figure disappeared. Yun Zhongtian silently exclaimed in awe and stepped briskly into the Terry Pharmaceuticals factory.

Half a minute later.

City H's southern part, Huya Mountain. Deep in the mountains, silence reigned, broken occasionally by the mournful cry of a bird or the rustling of wind through leaves.

A figure abruptly appeared halfway up Huya Mountain, and a silver moonlight stretched the figure's shadow all the way to the entrance of a nearby cave.

This figure was the mysterious man from the City of Yin and Time. He had come here to seek someone out – not just anyone, but a zombie, one that didn't need to sustain its life by drinking human blood.

In an instant, the man reached the entrance of the cave, and then Nannan said, "Release the seal!"

"Whoosh"—a gust of air dispersed in all directions.

"Qin Shang, the time has come!" the man shouted into the cave.

"Roar!" A deep zombie growl erupted from within, followed by a pair of blood-red eyes flashing in the darkness.

It wasn't long before Qin Shang walked to the entrance of the cave, the blood-red in his eyes had already faded.

"How has this time been for you? No one has been able to disturb you, right?" the mysterious man asked Qin Shang with a smile.

Qin Shang nodded emotionlessly and looked deeply at the man as he said, "Thanks to your Barrier, I was able to recuperate in peace for months. But, didn't you come ten days early?"

"Don't you wish this day had come sooner?" the man asked with a smile, "Recently, some mysterious individuals have appeared with extraordinary abilities. They've uncovered some of our secrets, so I had no choice but to move our plan forward. It's time for you to enter the stage now. We need you to deal with those people, we can't let them ruin our plan!"

"Roar!" Qin Shang responded with an ear-splitting roar. As his zombie howl echoed through the mountains, he descended towards City H at lightning speed.

Watching Qin Shang's figure vanish in a flash from halfway up Huya Mountain to the foot, the mysterious man let out a sinister laugh, and Nannan said, "I reckon there will be a good show to watch soon!"

Laughing, suddenly, the mysterious man stopped laughing, a sharp light shot from his narrowed eyes. He sensed a subtle change in the air around him.

He turned around, only to see a man who had quietly appeared behind him. The man was dressed in a suit, topped with sunglasses, and judging by his wrinkled face with a streak of a beard, he was probably in his forties.

"Hmph! I finally caught up to you, Tai Shan!" the man with the sunglasses sneered coldly. Tai Shan was the name of the man from the City of Yin and Time.

Tai Shan chuckled in a tone of resignation and said to the sky, "I merely reversed time by a minute just now, but you still found out. Hua Shan!"

Hua Shan was the name of the man in sunglasses. Like Tai Shan, he too was from the City of Yin and Time.

"Of course!" Hua Shan smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, "I've been closely watching your movements, how could I miss such an opportunity?"

"What a pity!" Tai Shan said with a smile of resignation, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I've already erased that stretch of time that just occurred, and soon, I will erase this moment we're experiencing right now!"

Hua Shan was alarmed and immediately retreated to a mountaintop several kilometers away. Tai Shan also vanished from the summit of Huya Mountain after casting a mysterious spell.

"Tai Shan, what exactly do you want to do in Y City?" Hua Shan muttered to himself.

..

The night deepened.

Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao, and Ye Fei returned to Liu Xiajun's villa.

As they entered the living room, Ye Fei received a call from his partner. The partner informed him that through the surveillance cameras inside Tairi Pharmaceutical Factory, he had spotted Yun Zhongtian and had already informed the Chief of Police. The police department had now deployed a large number of officers to the Tairi Pharmaceutical Factory, and capturing Yun Zhongtian shouldn't be a big issue.

After hanging up, Ye Fei shared the news with Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao.

A few minutes passed, and just as the three of them were preparing to change out of their black clothes, Ye Fei's phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the caller ID on his phone, Ye Fei exclaimed, "It's a call from the Chief of Police."

In an instant, a shadow of worry crossed Ye Fei's brow. If it weren't an extremely urgent situation, the Chief of Police wouldn't actively contact him to maintain the secrecy of his real identity.

Once the call connected, he could only hear the Chief of Police's abrupt and quiet voice: "Campus Hero, hurry to the Tairi Pharmaceutical Factory in the western district, a pack of ferocious, starving wolves have appeared! Beep beep beep!"

The call ended quickly.

Soon after, Ye Fei received a video from his partner: In the Tairi Pharmaceutical Factory, a group of wolves with green eyes were caught in a fierce battle with the police. The officers' bullets could hardly penetrate the wolves' bodies; instead, they were being bitten and losing parts of their bodies to the vicious wolves. Beyond that, some wolves were spewing green saliva from their mouths—like aqua regia, it could instantly corrode human flesh. After pushing back the police, those wolves scattered in all directions.

Just the wolves captured by the surveillance cameras numbered in the dozens, but in reality, there probably were hundreds of them.

After watching the video, Ye Fei said with a heavy heart, "This is bad, those wolves have been released, and the police can't stop them!"

"Then we must hurry to stop them!" Chen Hao said.

"Are these wolves werewolves?" Xie Xiaofeng asked while watching the video.

"They're not completely that!" Ye Yuqiao said with furrowed brows, "These wolves must have mutated after absorbing the blood of an ancient giant wolf, which itself had no human form yet."

Remembering the day when he was surrounded by wolves, Ye Fei's expression darkened. He thought to himself that with his abilities, he could at best tackle some criminals, and going there himself would just hold others back. With a low voice, he said, "Guys, I'm really sorry, but I might not be much help against those wolves, so I'll have to leave it to you. Please, make sure to prevent those wolves from harming the citizens!"

Chen Hao frowned and glanced at Ye Yuqiao, wondering internally, "Yuqiao, should we break the seal on Ye Fei's merperson's heart? With so many wolves hitting the streets, one more helping hand could save more lives, and Ye Fei would definitely be able to do more."

"Hmm!" Ye Yuqiao nodded.

Immediately, Chen Hao turned to Ye Fei and said, "Ye Fei, the situation is urgent, and there is something I must tell you now. There's a merperson's heart within your chest!"

"Ah!" Ye Fei was astonished—so were Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng who were beside him.

After a moment of stunned silence, Ye Fei asked in confusion, "What merperson's heart? How could my body have such a thing?"

Chen Hao scratched his head in agitation and said, "I'm not sure about that either! Right now, the most important thing is to clear out those wolves, so we need to remove the seal on your merperson's heart and release its power. That way, you can contend with those werewolves."

Hearing what Chen Hao said, a look of joy immediately spread across Ye Fei's face as he excitedly said, "Really? That's great, quickly help me break the seal on that, whatever it is, fish person or merperson's heart."

"I'll help him break the seal!" Tang Jing said, "Jerk, Yuqiao, Xiao Feng, you guys go deal with those wolf creatures. I'll come with Ye Fei later."

"Can you manage that?" Chen Hao asked.

"Of course, I can!" Tang Jing said with a wry smile, "Jerk, are you underestimating me? I'm the one with the most Yang Energy Power here. Breaking the seal on a merperson's heart is nothing—I even have the ancestral spells to break the seal on your left eye!"

"Alright! Then we'll head there first, and you two follow later."

Chen Hao finished speaking, and a soft purple light emanated from his left eye, shining onto Ye Fei's left chest. After a few seconds, a unique blue circular Sealing Talisman rune appeared on Ye Fei's left chest.

Then, Chen Hao used Qinggong and took Xie Xiaofeng and Ye Yuqiao with him as they left.
