Chapter 70 - Dark Gods
Although the cleanup operation had already ended, the grandmasters in the city would still often gather at the headquarters of the East Station. Firstly, they wanted to discuss secret techniques and battle tactics with each other and secondly, it was easier for them to work together if anything happened.
However, in the past few days, Zhou Hao rarely saw grandmasters like He Biao and Zhen Hong.
Commander Zhao's expression turned solemn. "Lord Zhou, He Biao and the others are currently searching for the Dark Gods organization hidden in the city!"
"Dark Gods?" Zhou Hao was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of such an organization.
"That's right. The Dark Gods is a huge underground secret organization that is active in all the cities. In order to increase their strength, they betrayed the human race and colluded with the foreign races. Furthermore, they often hold all kinds of evil gatherings and inhumane sacrifices!" Commander Zhao continued, his voice carrying suppressed anger.
"The various bases around the world hate the Dark Gods deeply, but they're too secretive and difficult to discover since they have the help of the foreign races."
At this point, Commander Zhao clenched his fists tightly. "In the past, there were a large number of demon kings in the wilderness area of the city. Once we start to look for these Dark Gods members, the city will be attacked by the foreign races. Therefore, we have never dared to act rashly."
"However, this time, thanks to Senior Zhou's wanton cleansing of the foreign races in the wilderness, the pressure on the city was suddenly relieved. Therefore, He Biao, Zhen Hong, and the others were able to change targets this time and deal with these hidden Dark Gods members!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hao understood.
It turned out that such an evil and anti-human organization existed in the city.
"Commander Zhao, how's the strength of the Dark Society?" he asked.
"They're very strong." Commander Zhao's expression was solemn. "They constantly obtain the treasures and techniques of the foreign races, so their strength increases extremely quickly. However, there are pros and cons to everything. Their increase in strength too quickly has resulted in their foundation being unstable and their combat strength being relatively ordinary. Most of them rely on the powerful treasures bestowed by the foreign races to be able to fight with us grandmasters and even the supernatural grandmaster Zhou Xuan."
"Therefore, the Dark Gods have always been in hiding and don't dare to expose themselves to compete with the forces of the other bases."
After a pause, Commander Zhao sighed and said, "But even so, high-level masters would be in danger if we sent them to look for traces. That's why I got He Biao and the other grandmasters to perform such a mission."
Zhou Hao frowned. If they couldn't even send high-level masters, it meant that the Dark Gods organization's strength was indeed extraordinary. To have such an evil organization in the city was indeed like having an unstable bomb.
After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but say, "Commander Zhao, if there's any news about the Dark Gods, please inform me in time."
Commander Zhao could not help but say happily, "Thank you, Senior Zhou. With your help, the Dark Gods will no longer be a threat. If there's any news, I'll inform you through the wireless channel!"
"Alright." Zhou Hao nodded. He was still willing to help the city. After all, Huadong City was where he grew up. By protecting the city, he could also protect his family.
…
At Qu City High School.
In the virtual combat training.
Zhou Hao's performance in the past few days had been very ordinary. Fortunately, he had teamed up with Xu Ling and Zhang Yi and was not ranked at the bottom.
Pu! Pu!
After Xu Ling and Zhang Yi killed the demon warriors, they heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the ground to rest.
Seeing Zhou Hao's absent-minded appearance, Xu Ling, who had not spoken to him for several days, could not help but frown. "Zhou Hao, you're also a member of the team. Can't you be more serious?"
Zhou Hao exclaimed and hurriedly said, "Sorry, I got distracted."
After learning from Commander Zhao that there was still a Dark Gods organization in the city, he specially asked for detailed information about them.
In fact, he had been quite shocked!
Some of the Dark Gods' actions were simply crazy. To say that they were against humans was already considered an understatement.
Moreover, it might even be the Dark Gods who had leaked the news of this genius to the foreign races last time.
This made him even more vigilant. With the Dark Gods members lurking around, he absolutely could not expose his identity.
Once he was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He himself was powerful to begin with and did not have anything to be afraid of. However, the people around him, especially his parents, might very well suffer the wrath of the Dark Gods.
After all, his parents still had to go to work and he couldn't be by their side all the time.
"Come on, this is the wilderness area!" Xu Ling glared at Zhou Hao unhappily. "If you want to keep acting like this, you should leave the team…"
Zhang Yi hurriedly said, "Xu Ling, don't say that. Zhou Hao also helped a lot."
Xu Ling snorted and did not say anything else. She also knew that she had crossed the line just now.
Zhou Hao didn't care much since he knew that Xu Ling had a sharp tongue. Moreover, he had indeed been distracted.
"I'll pay more attention from now on."
Xu Ling stood up. "I'll keep an eye on you."
After that, Zhou Hao naturally did not continue to daydream. Moreover, he more or less displayed some of his combat talent, making Xu Ling extremely surprised.
After school, Zhang Yi stopped Zhou Hao.
