After that, the task of settling the survivors was handed completely over to the military.

Owen, Izumi, and Schreiber each led their teams to rest and regroup.

Sawako and Yelena were worried about Logan's safety and wanted to follow Natalia out of the WF101 checkpoint, but they were stopped by Sophia and Lucia.

The reason was simple: compared to CEM38 and CEM27, the battle of public opinion inside the federation was where Yelena and Sawako could make a difference.

With that, everyone went their separate ways, and the WF101 base went into lockdown.

Following General Philip's order, the City Guard quickly cleared out the reporters waiting at the WF101 checkpoint. The planned interviews were canceled as well.

With Logan, the main hero, still missing, the atmosphere felt strangely heavy and not at all cheerful or encouraging.

But the cold mood on the scene didn't stop the online world from exploding.

Eight thousand survivors had safely returned to the federation because of Logan.

This news caused a huge reaction online, quickly sparking a wave of public anger.

Many people attacked the federation and the military, accusing them of ignoring people's lives and leaving so many behind.

At the same time, Logan's reputation reached its highest point. Everyone was talking about him online.

In the command center of CEM38 base.

Major Bell watched the news praising Logan. He whistled and said to the soldiers around him: "Our Logan brother is back on the front page again."

When the prisoners heard that Logan had become famous, they all raised their beers at the same time. Some blew whistles, others screamed, celebrating Logan's success.

Meanwhile, Logan was sitting alone in his office, quietly reading a thick book called The Monster Encyclopedia.

According to Major Bell, whether they could survive for three days depended on Logan.

He had to learn everything about the known monsters—what races they were, their habits, talents, and skills—so he could play a key role in the next battle.

So Logan wasn't taking it easy at all. With his strong spiritual power, he was memorizing every detail about each monster.

At the same time, Major Bell and his friends weren't sitting around doing nothing either.

Besides the strongest few prisoners, who were given a Black Ant king, every other prisoner got six master-stage black ants that Logan had assigned to them.

These prisoners were very skilled at attaching all kinds of weapons to the black ants—rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, and electromagnetic shield launchers.

Although the physical rules in Lost World were different from those in human territory, that didn't mean human technology was completely useless.

But for thick-skinned monsters, light weapons like small-caliber guns had little effect.

However, Gatling guns, armor-piercing rockets, and even mini nuclear warheads could still kill monsters.

After the modifications, the black ants—once only good at close combat—were now turned into full-on mechanical soldiers.

Major Bell did a quick estimate and said, "If these master-level black ants can work well together and use their heavy weapons, they can easily hold back a wave of monsters attacking a wall."

"Logan, the flying and long-range monsters will be up to you." Bell sighed and turned back to look at Logan, who was still studying hard in the office.

At the same time, 50 kilometers outside CEM38 base, Victor stood on top of a giant monster, staring at the scene in front of him, his face full of surprise.

"How is this possible? There must be tens of thousands of wild monsters here, but the damage is so light?" Victor muttered to himself, then picked up his phone.

When he saw that his phone had a full signal, his eyes turned cold: "Damn it, who fixed the communication network?"

Victor left the center of Saint Heart City on purpose, heading deep into the Lost World to gather a huge wave of monsters.

He left a lot of blood behind to slow down the city's military preparations, hoping to buy himself more time.

To make sure the monsters caused as much damage as possible, he even went to every communication station and destroyed them one by one.

But what he saw in front of him made him feel a strange sense of fear.

Without hesitation, he grabbed his phone and used the human network to check what had been happening lately.

What he found made his already pale face even colder.

Especially when he saw that Logan had saved nearly ten thousand survivors by leading over a thousand military vehicles, Victor clenched his teeth so hard it hurt: "Logan! Again, you messed up my plans!"

In his anger, he crushed the phone in his hand.

After venting his rage, he had no more way to get information from the human network.

When he calmed down a little and tried to find another phone to check the news, he found that the nearby human settlements looked like they had been cleaned up.

All the human bodies had been burned, and all the belongings had been taken away.

Victor searched for more than twenty kilometers, but couldn't find a single phone.

"Damn it!" Victor lost his patience completely and focused his attention on the CEM27 base in front of him.

Even from thirty kilometers away, he could clearly see the base—it was completely dark, with no light at all.

"Hmph, I don't believe that military base doesn't have any network equipment." Victor sneered and ordered the monsters behind him to keep gathering.

He himself, riding on top of his giant monster, started moving toward the CEM27 base.

Meanwhile, Major Bell had already used satellite maps to track the movement of the monster tide.

After seeing the beast tide heading toward CEM27 base, Major Bell's mouth stretched all the way to his ears: "Looks like God is on our side! Those monsters are going to CEM27!"

The prisoners nearby all lit up when they heard the news. "General, should we start Plan B?"

Without a word, they all went back to their posts and started getting everything ready for the plan.

Logan happened to finish reading all the books at that moment and walked out of his office.

Seeing every prisoner focused on preparing for the battle, Logan frowned and walked over to Bell Major. "They're here?"

"Yep!" Bell Major lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, blowing out a cloud of smoke. "They went to CEM27 first, so the fight will be at least half as easy as before."

Then, in front of Logan, Bell Major typed in a code and pressed a button marked with a radioactive symbol.

Logan's eyes widened when he saw the familiar death symbol.

He didn't expect humans in this world also had such a weapon!

"The Death God of Love?" Logan guessed out loud, "We have that kind of weapon?"

"Yep, but in the Lost World, it's limited by the other world's physics. Its killing radius is only less than five kilometers. Still enough," Bell Major took a long drag of his cigarette and kept his eyes fixed on the satellite map on the screen. "Too bad, CEM27 and CEM38 bases combined only have two of them."

After hearing Bell Major's explanation, Logan felt a chill run down his back.

If even humans with The Death God of Love could only hold their ground and couldn't take back the Lost World, how strong must the monsters be on this planet.

With that thought, Logan also turned his attention to the map.

At the gate of CEM27 base.

Victor stood on the back of his giant monster, coldly scanning the camp in front of him. He spat in disgust. "Hmph, I thought there was a trap. I even used myself as bait!"

Then, Victor floated up into the air and slipped into CEM27 like a ghost.

His mind still remembered his past life, and he knew the usual layout of human military camps. He quickly found the command center where they were preparing for the fight.

But what made him angry was that he searched every corner of the place, but there was no phone in sight.

Frustrated, Victor went to the backup power source and turned on the switch.

As lights started to come on, his expression grew darker.

The whole base looked like it had been robbed. Everything that could be moved had been taken.

But while Victor was searching for a communication device, he didn't notice that all the cameras in the hallway had turned on.

In CEM38 base, Logan was watching the monitor. His eyes narrowed. "Is that him?"

"Who? Do you know him?" Bell Major asked, his face full of confusion, as if he had a guess.

"He's Victor from the Tattalia family. We were classmates in the Genius Training Camp." Logan explained, watching Victor's movements carefully. Something about him just didn't feel right.

Upon hearing that, Bell Major suddenly laughed out loud. "What a coincidence! The people who got me sent to the death camp were from the Tattalia family!"

Then Bell Major slapped the switch with a big hand.

Logan immediately pushed him. "Are you crazy? You want to use The Death God of Love on humans? The monsters haven't even entered the base yet!"

Bell Major burst into laughter at Logan's anger. "You're kidding, right? You didn't notice he's not human anymore?"

Logan froze for a second.

Then Bell Major pointed at the frozen image on the screen. "Look closely. His eyes are already beast-like. That's what happens when your mind is completely controlled by a high-level monster. Got it?"

Logan hadn't expected Bell Major to act so quickly once he made a decision.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed, almost blinding Logan.

Less than a minute later, The Death God of Love hit CEM27 base.

When Logan opened his eyes, all the screens went dark. In the sky, only a huge red mushroom cloud remained.

For a full minute, the air was completely quiet. Then, Logan felt a violent tremor under his feet, followed by a loud explosion in his ears.
