Two men wearing mink fur coats and otter hats walked into Dawn City.

At the city gates, Dawn Army soldiers were conducting checks.

Ordinary goods can be brought in at will, but weapons are not allowed.

There is a temporary warehouse by the city gate with many metal cabinets. If you have weapons, you can store them in a cabinet and retrieve them when leaving the city.

The two arrived in front of Dawn City and received a key from the guards, then locked their guns inside a cabinet.

They drove their Bulldozer SUV through the outer city gate.

"Brother Qi, the defenses of Dawn City are quite strict. Many bases simply don't bother with these things."

The man called Brother Qi inserted his hands into the sleeves of his mink coat, sitting in the passenger seat, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.

"This indicates that the Dawn Army has absolute dominion here, everyone must comply."

"Yeah, I can see that Dawn City is well-constructed. Look at the streets, clean and tidy, without any of the filth and chaos typical of other bases."

The vehicle drove along the streets of the outer city district, and the two of them found their eyes a bit insufficient.

Walking here, they seemed to return to the villages and towns of the past, a civilized model village.

The street construction here is very forward-thinking. Although the surrounding houses are just prefabricated buildings, the streets are wide and even, just like the main streets of a city. Once these prefabs are demolished and buildings erected, it will definitely be a city here.

They arrived at the inner city gate, and someone directed them to drive the car to the parking lot.

The inner city district is not as large as the outer city district. Besides Dawn Army vehicles and trucks from the trading market, no other vehicles are allowed in.

The two parked the car and then entered the city on foot.

Through the wide city gates, this place is a different scene from the outer city district.

More prosperous, more bustling.

There were even people selling breakfast at the entrance of the trading market.

This was quite special; the two walked over to find that the one selling breakfast was a fat man.

Brother Qi's eyes swept over him like an eagle, just an ordinary person, not an evolver.

"Gentlemen, have some food. My fatty hot noodles taste authentic; a bowl in this winter is warm and comfortable."

The breakfast stall already had quite a few customers; the two sat down, lured by the scent of hot noodles.

"Boss, how do we pay you?"

"You can take anything to the resource exchange center to convert it into contribution points; they'll give you a card there, which you can use to buy things within Dawn City."

Some people had finished their meal and paid with a few cards, each worth one contribution point, a total of four cards, indicating they spent four contribution points on their meal.

"Brother Qi, I'll go check it out first."

The other man left and went to the resource exchange center, where he exchanged a large gold ring he had on him.

He got over six hundred contribution points in exchange.

The contribution points card is specially designed by the Engineer, so no one else can replicate it.

"Give us two bowls of noodles, add eggs, sausages, spring onions, cilantro, and pepper powder....."

"Alright!"

The fat man nimbly began cooking, while the two looked around.

"Brother Qi, what do you think of this place?"

"It's heavily guarded; you see there's another city gate in the back, that's likely where Ye Fan's residential district is. Even for me, breaking through the walls and sneaking in isn't easy."

As he spoke, Brother Qi pointed around.

"Look, each sentry tower is spaced a certain distance apart, each tower has three soldiers, maintaining twenty-four-hour surveillance."

"There are patrolling soldiers on the city walls, moving back and forth cooperating with tower soldiers, basically ensuring no blind spots."

"See those military dogs the soldiers have? Their sense of smell is sharp, and they seem to be mutant breeds. If a few of those dogs catch onto you, that's extremely troublesome."

"Look at the cannon in the middle; that's the legendary Dawn Justice, the city guardian artifact. With this thing here, any attempt at a frontal assault on Dawn City is suicidal. Back then, five thousand people from Daqing Mountain came aggressively, and this thing wiped out a third of them in one shot."

The other man exclaimed: "Brother Qi, looking at it this way, attempting a frontal attack on Dawn City is inadvisable. No wonder someone wants you to handle it personally."

Brother Qi's face revealed a proud expression: "Those people foolishly made some top ten warriors of Divine Dragon Province list with me on it, inevitably attracting attention."

The other man asked: "Who are these top ten warriors? How is the ranking done?"

Brother Qi thought for a moment: "I'm not entirely sure. They say top ten, but it's really just seven known ones, they are...."

"Guo Zhun, leader of the Ice City Liberation Army!"

"Li Yuntian, leader of Oil City Storm Army!"

"Jiang Mountain, leader of Crane City Divine Dragon Army!"

"In addition to these well-known leader figures, there are some ranger types like Jiangbei Tiger Qiao Lie, Five-step Snake You Sisi, and Deadly Clown Wang Buhuan, plus me, Snow Mountain Eagle Feng Qi."

"We seven are the ones on the surface, known to everyone in Divine Dragon Province with Level 2 Evolver strength, but there should be three more, unknown to us ranger types."

The man asked, "Brother Qi, I'm really curious about what level of strength you Level 2 Evolvers have reached. Can you tell me?"

Feng Qi nodded modestly, "Your strength isn't sufficient to understand, but let me put it this way. If the gates of this district were closed, and I had three days, I could kill everyone here, excluding the garrison."

The man looked around. There must be thousands of people in the Inner City District, and Feng Qi said he could kill them all by himself.

What kind of monstrous power is that?

"Don't overestimate the fortifications here. Troops are suited for open battlefield conditions, but in this kind of environment, a large number of people is useless against Level 2 Evolvers. I can come and go as I please without anyone stopping me."

The man beside him was listening in awe. As he was feeling envious, the chubby shopkeeper brought over their hot noodles.

"Enjoy your meal, gentlemen."

The two of them stopped talking and started slurping their noodles noisily.

One must admit, in this cold post-apocalyptic winter, having a bowl of hot noodles is a rare pleasure.

Sitting next to Feng Qi, the man felt like his own status had changed.

Next to him sat one of the ten Level 2 Evolvers in Divine Dragon Province. If this identity were exposed, it would surely cause a sensation in Dawn City.

But he couldn't say a word because Feng Qi was here to scout.

Having such a powerful figure nearby and being unable to speak about it made the man feel extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, a member of the Dawn Army walked over.

"Boss Gao, three bowls of noodles, please!"

"Haha, it's Squad Leader Shen. Sit, sit, it will be ready soon."

A man sat opposite the two of them.

Just as Feng Qi was eating his noodles, his body suddenly stiffened.

He glanced at the man who had just sat down.

Wearing a winter military uniform of the Dawn Army, he looked quite dignified.

Seeing Feng Qi and the others looking at him, the man patted the military insignia on his shoulder.

"It snowed, almost covered my ranks."

Feng Qi and his companion looked up at the sky; it was a clear day.

A moment later, the chubby shopkeeper brought over the hot noodles. The man known as Squad Leader Shen patted the non-existent snow on his insignia again.

The chubby shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "Oh! You've been promoted to Company Commander! Congratulations, congratulations to Company Commander Shen on his promotion."

Company Commander Shen smiled modestly and shook his head, "There's nothing to congratulate about. It's just a Company Commander position."

"It's different! You're not an ordinary Company Commander; it's the First Company of the Dawn Army. So, I think Company Commander Shen, at the very least, you should be considered half a Battalion Commander. In the Commander-in-Chief's mind, even Battalion Commanders might not compare to you."

Shen Ruihui laughed, his eyes narrowing into a line, "Six more bowls of noodles, the officer hasn't eaten, and I'll pack them to take back."

The chubby shopkeeper happily went to prepare them.

Feng Qi and his companion quickly finished their meal, paid with Contribution Points, and stood up to leave.

The man followed Feng Qi, noticing how fast he was walking.

"Brother Qi, why are you walking so fast?"

Feng Qi didn't answer, and continued straight to the parking lot to retrieve their car and then picked up their guns at the gate, leaving Dawn City.

After walking some distance, Feng Qi finally let out a long breath.

"I really didn't expect there would be a Level 2 Evolver in the Dawn Army."

"Do you mean that guy we just saw?"

"Yes, that Company Commander is definitely a Level 2 Evolver. Our strengths should be about the same; I can feel it."

The man asked Feng Qi, "Brother Qi, if the Dawn Army also has Level 2 Evolvers, do you still plan to accept their invitation?"

Feng Qi hesitated for quite a while, "If the Dawn Army only has this one Evolver, I can complete the task without issue. But I'm worried there might be a second one. I suspect Ye Fan is also a Level 2 Evolver."

"Oh, what makes you think that?"

"Didn't you notice that Company Commander asking for noodles for Ye Fan, six bowls... I mean, who else but an Evolver could eat that much in one go?"

"If my guess is correct, then this mission may require at least three Level 2 Evolvers working together to complete. I need to think it over."

The man next to him nodded slightly. Now they both suspected that Ye Fan and this Company Commander Shen were among the ten Level 2 Evolvers in Divine Dragon Province.

If that's the case, they would need to reassess the strength of Dawn City.

...

Meanwhile, Ye Fan, who was mistaken as an Evolver, was in the core base of the Dawn Army, in his mansion's basement.

Luo Jiaxin and Wu Ting were there, engaged in evolutionary research.

Today, they finally made breakthrough progress in their evolutionary research and invited Ye Fan to the basement.
