Northern Fortress was a frontline of Star City in the north. It was a fortress to defend and keep a watch on the zombies' movement.
In the north of Star City, a huge amount of zombies gathered. Before the catastrophe, that place was a flourishing country called Russia. However, after the catastrophe, Russia was left in ruins as the people there moved towards Moon City.
Later, Russia became a place where the zombies gathered. There was a zombie that gained intelligence. Not only did this zombie gain intelligence, but it was also very strong.
This zombie was at the level of Emperor Class Hero and Legend Class Ranker. An Emperor Class Hero and many Gold Class Heroes fell under this zombie.
Because of this, the Hero League and Central Government built a fortress in the north to monitor the zombie horde.
The Hero League placed thousands of heroes while the Central Government allocated a fully armed army within the northern fortress. Ensuring the zombies to not pass the defense line they had formed.
The Hero League had dispatched five Emperor Class Heroes to lead the heroes in the frontline.
Feng Bian's father Feng Tian Xou, as an Emperor Class Hero was tasked to guard the northern fortress with four other Emperor Class Heroes.
Feng Tian Xou furrowed his forehead as he read the message. His younger brother's message only contained two words. At first, he was confused as to why his brother sent this message.
However, reading the text for the second time, Feng Tian Xou immediately called his brother back. Unfortunately, the call did not connect even after he tried three times.
This time, Feng Tian Xou called his nephew, Feng Guiming. The call immediately connected and a young man's face in his early twenties appeared on the screen.
"Where's your father?"
As soon as the call connected, Feng Tian Xou immediately asked in a somber tone. He felt uneasy after receiving such a message.
Feng Guiming was a bit surprised upon seeing his uncle's heavy face. He paused for a moment as he was trying to remember where his father went to.
He remembered that in the early morning, his cousin visited their home and had a talk with his father. He did not know what they talked about but an hour after his cousin left his father also left the house.
Feng Guiming did not know where his father went, but he still told Feng Tian Xou honestly of what happened this morning.
"So you don't know where your father is?" Feng Tian Xou threw another inquiry and Feng Guiming shook his head.
Feng Tian Xou closed the call and called his son. The same thing happened when he called his brother, the call did not connect.
Feng Tian Xou's face looked a bit intense, he called his son five times but none of them connected. He rose from his seat and called his third son, Feng Xian.
The call connected through and a younger man than Feng Guiming appeared on the screen.
"Good morning, Father. Do…"
Feng Tian Xou cut the greeting with his severe inquiry, "Where did your second brother go!!???"
Feng Xian was momentarily shocked, but then he immediately shook his head as a response. Indicating he did not know where his second brother was.
"I don't know, he left home early in the morning. He did not say anything where he was going."
Looking at his father's severe look, he knew something might happen to his second brother. So he answered while his face turned solemn as well.
"Did something happen to Brother Bian?" Feng Xian asked. He wondered what Feng Bian did that alarmed his father.
Feng Bian could be said well-behaved compared to the other children of the big family in the core region. He seldom cause trouble and he had a decent strength as well.
"Your second brother might have an accident and his smartwatch is off. Find him now! I want to know where he went in ten minutes!" Feng Tian Xou ordered in a stern tone.
"Yes, Father!" Feng Xian nodded and closed the call.

Meanwhile, an uproar happened on Star Web, a thread with the title "Dragon Descend!" and "Fortune or Misfortune?" occupied the first and second place with most views in Daily Thread.
Both threads attached a five minutes duration video. The video showed that the sky turned dark and was accompanied by the roar of thunder. Nothing weird at first, it was just like a normal storm.
However, at the last minute of the video, a shocking phenomenon appeared. A yellow thunder in the form of a dragon danced behind the black cloud. It flew around behind the black cloud, thirty seconds later, it descended at the outer region of Star City.
Two same videos but shot from a different angle, it looked fearful. As for why did the people begin calling it a dragon. It was similar to a dragon in Chinese legends.
Fortune or Misfortune, that was why this post appeared. A thunder dragon descended in the outer region and not long ago, the city was also attacked by the beast horde.
Various kinds of speculations appeared in Star Web.
As for the place where the thunder dragon descended, no news from that place. However, soon that place would be crowded with people and the news would spread like a fire.
While the Star Web was in an uproar because of this fearful phenomenon. The culprit who caused this uproar was still recovering his strength on the rooftop.
Butcher Wang, Sun Zhou Yi, Han Ying, and Hong Yu surrounded Heero with worried faces. Heero had his eyes closed sitting below the tree.
After some time Heero opened his eyes as he exhaled a long breath. Then he saw four faces that looked worried. With a calm smile, Heero waved his hand and said in a reassuring tone, "I am okay, I have only exhausted my Ki,"
Hong Yu was unconvinced with Heero's claim. She came closer and pulled up Heero's shirt, checking her boyfriend's body.
Heero let Hong Yu check his body as he put a helpless smile. After a quick check, there was no wound or brush could be found. Only then did Hong Yu feel relieved.
"So, what happened?" the curious Butcher Wang asked. It was not only Butcher Wang who was curious about what happened. Hong Yu, Han Ying, and Sun Zhou Yi were also curious, they wanted to know as well.
Four of them put a curious look as they waited for Heero to tell them what happened. But before Heero could speak, Butcher Wang continued with his wild thought, "Don't tell me, it was you who summoned the thunder-like dragon just now?"
Butcher Wang said that to joke with Heero. Deep inside, he did not believe it was Heero's doing. Made such a shocking phenomenon, no human could do such a thing.
However, he froze on the spot upon seeing Heero nod. He looked at Heero with an unbelievable look on his face. Hong Yu and Han Ying were also shocked, only Sun Zhou Yi looked at Heero in awe.
"I am still far from being comparable to Master… I have to work harder…" Sun Zhou Yi thought.
Butcher Wang was sure that Heero was not lying to him. He could see it from Heero's face, earnest and innocent, these two were the right words to describe it.
"You… You… You…"
In the end, Butcher Wang could only mutter "you" as he did not know what to say anymore. Each time he thought that he could measure Heero's strength, he would be surprised as Heero showed more.
Moreover, this time Heero showed him something he had never seen before. It was true that he had never seen an Emperor Class Hero or Legend Class Ranker fought before. But he was sure that they would not be as intense as Heero's thunder dragon.
Even though he looked at it from afar, it was already scary enough. What if that thunder dragon directed at him. Butcher Wang did not dare to imagine it.
After that, Heero told everything that happened to Sun Zhou Yi and Butcher Wang. He did not hide anything, from the start until the end when he killed Feng Bian, Feng Fennu, and the five officers of the Civil Bureau.
"You… You… You…" Butcher Wang stuttered for the second time. He took a deep breath to calm his heart. After some time, he calmed down and looked at Heero, "D-did you kill Feng Fennu? Crown Class Ranker - Rank 1, Feng Fennu?"
Feng Fennu was a famous ranker. Crown Class Ranker - Rank 1, who did not know him? Everyone knew him with his additional misdeeds, forcing many women to marry him through the Civil Bureau. Feng Fennu's name was not foreign to the people of Star City.
"Heh heh heh, Nightmare of Star City has met his nightmare…" Butcher Wang let out a chuckle without waiting for Heero's reply.
The current Butcher Wang did not care about offending the big family or Ranker Alliance anymore. They had offended them since a few days ago, killing a ranker and refusing the cooperation.
This made no difference to Butcher Wang. Moreover, he had witnessed how strong Heero was. He was confident that Heero was at the same level as Emperor Class Hero.
"Why did you kill them? What if they retaliate to you??" Han Ying was different from Butcher Wang. She was still afraid of the big power of the big family and Ranker Alliance.
Hong Yu also still had the same mindset as her sister. They were just ordinary people living in the outer region. Feng Family or Ranker Alliance were the things they should avoid at all costs.
Before Heero could reply to ease the two sisters' worries, he heard a commotion from below. Not only Heero, but the others also heard the commotion.
They walked to the rail and looked down. There was a crowd gathered around the three meters deep pit. Journalists began taking pictures of the pit with their cameras while ten men in black suits gathered at the other side.
The men were accompanied by the police. After a moment's talk between the police and the men, the police placed a police line.
Besides the journalists, police, and the officer, many people from the other districts also came over. The deserted district was now crowded with masses as they wanted to get a look at the pit.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Two officers and two policemen came to Miao Miao Noodles Shop and knocked on the door. Hong Yu and Han Ying looked at Heero, they were asking Heero's instruction.
As for Butcher Wang, he dashed back to his own home as there were two officers and two policemen coming to his shop.
Heero nodded his head and they went downstairs together. They knew why these officers and policemen came over, they must be wanted to know what happened to the pit as it caused a big commotion.
Sure enough, the officers and the policemen were asking the cause of the pit. Heero, Hong Yu, Han Ying, and Sun Zhou Yi's answer was, "I don't know!"
In fact, not only them, everyone in the district answered with the same answer, "I don't know!" as they truly did not know what happened.
As for whether a dragon truly descended or not, no one knew the truth.
After the policemen were over, the officers began their investigation. The police came to investigate the strange phenomenon, but these officers came for a different purpose.
They came here to search for Feng Fennu and Feng Bian. They showed two photos of Feng Fennu and Feng Bian to Hong Yu, Han Ying, Heero, and Sun Zhou Yi.
"Have you seen these two men?"
