"I feel that it might not be long before the Snow Beasts truly approach the cities. When that time comes, we will inevitably face a battle with the Snow Beasts."

"Yes, once that time arrives, we might be subjected to attacks from the Snow Beasts."

"This could be the challenge we will face in the future. There’s no choice, we can only strengthen our own strength as quickly as possible while reinforcing our city’s defense and equipment."

"I just hope that day arrives later because we haven’t entered the city yet, and it will take some time."

Indeed, as the number of Snow Beasts increases, the greatest threat is to those survivors without a city. Not only do they endure the harsh cold, but if the Snow Beasts attack, their defense is inadequate, and they can only wait for death!

The crowd discussed intensely.

Everyone realized that the increase in Snow Beasts could have very serious consequences.

Gradually, a tense atmosphere spread among all the survivors.

This tension mainly stemmed from anxiety.

And this anxiety primarily arose from the increase in Snow Beasts and the appearance of giant Snow Beasts.

In the end, people referred to the giant Snow Beasts as commanding-class Snow Beasts.

Commanding-class Snow Beasts not only have much larger individual sizes than ordinary Snow Beasts but can also to some extent command a group of Snow Beasts.

Danger is approaching!

More and more survivors left their own arks and headed to nearby cities.

Making such a decision actually requires great determination.

Because once they leave their own arks, they face endless blizzards, difficult paths, and unknown dangers.

Moreover, the final outcome is still relying on others.

Making this decision requires not only the determination of the leaders but also the determination of all survivors.

They are very aware that if they don’t find shelter in a city in time, it won’t be long before they may be buried in the snow.

In the end, they either starve to death or freeze to death, or become food for the Snow Beasts.

Another day passed. The heavy snow momentarily subsided, and even the bone-chilling cold wind that had been howling calmed down. It was a good time to set out.

Stanley, the leader of the Moon Alliance, made a quick decision and decided to set out immediately.

"Which is the nearest city from us?" Stanley asked his subordinates.

The subordinate checked the map and responded, "Sir, the nearest city is Revelation City. However, Dawn City is not too far from us either."

"Dawn City, that sounds somewhat familiar," Stanley’s brow twitched. "It’s Waldo’s city!"

"Waldo?!" Stanley’s expression changed. "It’s a city built by Waldo! That explains why it sounded so familiar. We don’t need to go to Revelation City; let’s head straight to Dawn City."

Upon hearing this, the subordinate hesitated for a moment and then said, "Sir, Dawn City belongs to Waldo! Are you sure you didn’t get it wrong?"

As everyone knew, Waldo was cruel by nature. Not long ago, he nearly wiped out the top members of the three major alliances that joined Dawn, leaving no one alive. If we go to Dawn City, it’s likely to be very dangerous.

The concerns of this subordinate were not unfounded. They had heard a lot about Dawn City.

It was said that Waldo not only stripped all the leaders and controllers of their rights but also massacred them.

These rumors were widely circulated and, combined with Waldo’s past actions, held significant credibility.

Hence, this subordinate was worried that once Stanley went to Dawn City, they might face injustice.

In the end, he was killed by Waldo without much reason. However, Stanley seemed unfazed.

"Dawn City is a city built by Waldo, and it’s undoubtedly the most fortified and powerful city in the world. It’s absolutely safe to stay there! No matter what, we must enter Dawn City because it’s the safest place! Even if a crisis erupts in the future, Dawn City is still absolutely secure."

"As for whether Waldo would target me or find a reason to kill me, I don’t care. I haven’t made any mistakes, after all! Moreover, I’ve actually had some interactions with Waldo back in the GMT+8 region, though he doesn’t remember me. I was just an insignificant nobody back then."

"However, I understand his character, so I trust him. He used to be a fervent fan of Waldo, even when he was in a high position. He still considers Waldo his idol and aims to catch up to him. Sir, you should think it over!"

The subordinate’s lips moved, as if wanting to say more. However, Stanley furrowed his brow and said, "Enough, my mind is made up. Do as I’ve said!"

Seeing Stanley’s determination, the subordinate dared not speak any further.

"Yes!"

Soon, the group set off. They were prepared to take advantage of the improved weather to reach Dawn City as quickly as possible.

During the ice age, the Noah’s Ark was no longer suitable for survival. The entire Moon Alliance, consisting of over six thousand people, had to leave the place they had lived for so long and move to the renowned Dawn City.

Some were filled with anticipation and longing. There was no doubt that Dawn City could provide them with the maximum security.

However, some were filled with worries and concerns. Waldo’s infamous reputation was widespread, and they feared his brutality, making it difficult to survive under his rule.

However, their leader, Stanley, had already decided to head to Dawn City. Whether they liked it or not, they had to go to Dawn City.

Not willing to go? Could you survive on your own without the larger group? The odds were too slim.

Fortunately, for the Moon Alliance, this journey was relatively smooth. The weather was in their favor, with several clear days in a row.

With no snow and wind to hinder them, their progress was noticeably faster with less resistance.

Soon, they had covered more than half of the distance.

"It’s unbelievable that we haven’t had snow or wind for a day or two. Our luck is really good! In another day, we’ll be almost at Dawn City! Once we reach Dawn City, not only can we move into warm houses and rest, but we can also settle down completely and no longer fear the Snow Beasts’ attacks!"

Stanley and his subordinates looked at the map of their progress, feeling quite pleased.

Having no snow or wind in the upcoming days would be ideal. Even if heavy snowfall and strong winds did occur, they believed they could handle it with composure.

At this moment, the deputy reminded, "We are now approaching the large plain. We just need to traverse this plain to reach Dawn City. However, based on the information we’ve received, there are a considerable number of Snow Beasts on the plain. We need to be highly vigilant."

Upon hearing this, Stanley’s expression turned slightly serious. "I understand. The most dangerous part is this final stretch. However, we can only go straight through. If we detour, it would take at least an extra week, making it even more perilous."

"Spread the word. Everyone should remain highly vigilant and traverse the plain at the fastest pace possible. Once we cross, we’ll be completely safe and never have to worry about survival again!"

The deputy stood at attention. "Yes!"

Stanley hesitated for a moment, contemplating. Ultimately, he decided to contact Waldo first. After all, he was about to arrive at Dawn City. In any case, Waldo needed to be informed.

Contacting Waldo first was probably a good idea. Given Waldo’s personality, he wouldn’t likely refuse. Subsequently, Stanley found Waldo’s ID and sent a private message.

"Hello Waldo, I was once a survivor from City 25. At the onset of the Ocean Era, I was fortunate enough to obtain some opportunities, eventually becoming the leader of a small alliance. However, my strength was limited, and after entering the Ice Age, I didn’t make it into the global top 100, nor did I obtain a city founding permit.

Before this, everyone in the alliance lived on the Noah’s Ark. However, with the increasing threat of Snow Beasts, we had to seek a new home. In order for everyone to survive, I chose Dawn City!

Now, my team is not far from Dawn City. I sincerely hope that Waldo can provide us a place to stay! Finally, I, Stanley, swear that from now on, I will be loyal to Waldo, with absolutely no complaints!"

After sending this private message, Stanley felt somewhat uneasy. After all, this was his first communication with Waldo. At the same time, he was worried that Waldo might not read his private message.

Or, after reading his private message, will he agree to his request?

Huh?

Waldo replied to me?

Stanley suddenly froze.

Because Waldo actually replied to him.

And it was very fast, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was an instant reply!

Then he felt a great surprise!

There was a feeling of being favored.

Waldo’s reply was very simple, consisting of only one word.

"Ok."

But for Stanley, it was a tremendous relief! Stanley immediately replied, "Thank you for accepting. On behalf of the 6,000 members of the Moon Alliance, I sincerely thank you! In the future, when we enter Dawn City, these 6,000 people will unconditionally and absolutely obey your commands! I will also find my own place and never cause any trouble!"

On the other side, watching Stanley’s private message, Waldo couldn’t help but smile.

This word feels so familiar.

"I didn’t expect that after all this time, there would still be someone addressing me as."

This Stanley is quite lucky, being completely unknown back in the Eastern Eight District, and then becoming the leader of a small alliance in the Ice Age.

His journey could be considered a small legend.

Want to come to Dawn City? Of course, it’s welcome. It’s an opportunity to strengthen the power of Dawn City!

He replied afterward, "Once you arrive in Dawn City, you don’t need to worry too much. As long as you abide by the rules and regulations of Dawn City, you can continue to manage your own people."
