Seventh day of the second supernatural calamity.

Due to the presence of certain awakened abilities, global communications during the second supernatural calamity didn't get cut off like before.

Whenever Director Long held meetings to assess personnel losses, he never knew how to explain to those foreigners an abstract fact—

Aside from the first day when the red-clothed Fierce Ghost appeared too suddenly, causing heavy casualties.

After the Awakened received varying degrees of ability enhancements combined with the aid of the Great Qin Army descending like divine troops, Huaxia's personnel losses, even compared to other countries worldwide, are the lowest tier.

This is simply an incredible achievement for a superpower known for its massive population.

Various countries tried to understand what was really happening in Huaxia regarding this peculiar circumstance.

But after Director Long's remark, "I have a nation-destroying symbiont named Shadow, want to check it out?"—people stopped probing further.

"Ah! Boss Long! I really want to return home! Those foreigners won't let us leave!" The holographic image of the Zodiac Horse appeared on the verge of tears.

This supernatural calamity came so suddenly that the month-long preparation left Zodiac Horse, Zodiac Ox, and Zodiac Rooster abroad, unable to return home.

After all, foreign authorities also knew of their combat abilities, and after Director Long declared the prophecy to the world, they hesitantly held on to them for a month.

Even though they were forcibly kept, supernatural incidents don't discriminate between friends and foes!

Whenever a supernatural incident occurred nearby, the trio had to quietly clear them, essentially working for free for the foreigners.

Now with circumstances becoming increasingly severe, it's even harder for the trio to return; land supernatural events are being resisted and cleared, but the sea is beyond control!

If they try to cross the sea to return, they will most likely perish there.

"Don't hurry, you three should observe your physical conditions recently to see if there's any awakening trend. If Shadow guessed correctly, even as symbionts, you could still awaken." Director Long comforted the Zodiac Horse trio.

On hearing this, a gleam flashed in their eyes.

Zodiac Ox couldn't help but marvel: "Does that mean I might catch up to Boss Long's pace?"

Being an early member of the Zodiac Department, he knew that Director Long outclassed all Zodiac members due to his dual status as Awakened and Symbiont.

Now, with the chance to reach such heights himself, how could he not be excited?

"Haha, catching up to me might prove a bit difficult. If you don't believe it, once you return, let's have a practice match." Director Long smiled as he playfully teased Zodiac Ox.

He didn't openly disclose his current situation, as the world was gradually awakening; who knew if what he said would leak out?

Frankly, Director Long really hoped for global cooperation to combat the supernatural calamity.

Unfortunately, other countries didn't think the same.

Most still considered this at most slightly worse than before; even if the threat doubled, it wasn't too much to handle; they could surely endure.

Facing this situation, Director Long knew convincing them of the supernatural calamity being humanity's critical survival point was unlikely.

Thus, he stopped relying on other countries for help and only wished they wouldn't interfere, thanking the heavens he still had to focus on saving Huaxia.

"By the way, Boss Long, are we really starting an awakening training camp?" Zodiac Rooster frowned, face inches from the projector.

She always felt teaching everyone to master their awakened abilities carried too much risk.

If domestic issues arise now, Huaxia might not withstand the second supernatural calamity; Director Long's transformation seemed too bold.

"It's not about starting it." Director Long shook his head helplessly: "It's already been six days since the training started."

Right after the Great Qin Army completed massive sweeps of red-clothed Fierce Ghosts in the Capital City on the first day, Director Long had already begun setting up the awakening training camp.

Starting from the Capital City, synchronizing with the Great Qin Army's progress in clearing fierce ghosts nationwide, and establishing training camps in every city.

The earliest batch of students has undergone about six days of training, with those exhibiting strong awakened abilities already assisting official personnel in supernatural fierce ghost support efforts.

"Huh? How many Awakened do we have now? How did the training start?" Zodiac Rooster froze.

After a contemplative pause, Director Long said: "30% of the Capital City's population has become Awakened. Honestly, I feel the training camp's pace is a bit slow. Fortunately, those joining the training are all passionate about fighting the supernatural; we have successors now!"

"Where did you find so many wannabe world saviors? Can they be mass-produced?" Zodiac Rooster was even more puzzled.

But then, she heard Director Long's sheepish voice from the projector: "Some idiot suggested to me, 'Look at anime—why aren't the world saviors middle-aged? Because after being shaped by society, they'd rather see the world blow up.' So now, it's less about an awakening camp and more of a youth training camp."
