"Should we ask if we can join too?"
The core members of the Caeruleus Draco Squad were, of course, not going to join the Pyeongseong Safe Zone so quickly.

They were all waiting for a result.
That result didnât keep them waiting long.
At the end of the second month of winter, the team sent on the assassination mission returned.
In the Pyeongseong Safe Zone, Chung Hwangeun, a free Thunder-type ability user who disliked returning to the safe zone, was the strongest among the Pyeongseong Safe Zoneâs ability users.
Having reached the peak of Level 3 and on the verge of breaking into Level 4, he led this assassination mission.
Apart from Chung Hwangeun, the only other person accompanying him was
Yoon Jongju from the Caeruleus Draco Squad, along with the leader of the Resource Searching Team, Jo Sungmo, a Mental-type ability user.
He was the one who had inform the assassination mission to Chung Hwangeun.
Although Jo Sungmo did not return to the safe zone with Shin Woncheon and the others, he was still very clear about what decisions the safe zone would make.
The most suitable person to carry out this mission was, of course, Chung Hwangeung, who was still out in the wilderness.
Jo Sungmo had gone ahead and waited on the path of the person the safe zone sent.
There wasnât much to say about the assassination itself.
The three people who completed the mission all returned injured, though it was just a matter of how severe their wounds were.
Along with them back to the Pyeongseong Safe Zone were the members of the Resource Searching Team and a large group of unfamiliar faces.
These unfamiliar faces, a large group of disheveled people, were ordinary people that was lives in Bangnang Safe Zone.
"Theyâre following us back?" Jang Dojang asked as he arranged a welcome for the heroes while inquiring about the additional people.
Jo Sungmo shrugged: "Their leaderâs been dealt with. These people were also bullied by the ability users of the Golden Dianthus Squad at the Bangnang Safe Zone. One by one, they insisted on treating us as their saviors. If they stay there, they wonât survive. What else could we do but bring them back?"
At the Bangnang Safe Zone, there were only two teams: the Caeruleus Draco Squad, with whom they cooperated, and the Golden Dianthus Squad.
The good ability users had followed the Caeruleus Draco Squad, but they were forced out to search for Solarian Rats.
The remaining ability users in the Bangnang Safe Zone, with no restraints, became increasingly arrogant.
After the leader of the Golden Dianthus Squad was dealt with, even if the remaining ability users wanted to join the Pyeongseong Safe Zone, Jo Sungmo wouldnât allow them in, as he didnât want them destabilizing the area.
So, the ability users dispersed, leaving only this group of ordinary people.
There werenât many ordinary people left under the Golden Dianthus Squadâs care.
Originally, the Golden Dianthus Squad had only taken in ordinary people for their good reputation, not because they cared for them like the Caeruleus Draco Squad.
After the Bangnang Safe Zone disbanded, these ordinary people learned from Jo Sungmo and others that the reason some of their people had mysteriously disappeared and died was that they had been captured and eaten.
The fearful, helpless looks of one or two of them made a lasting impression on Jo Sungmo.
Jang Dojang sighed: "Alright then. The Buyeo Town was cleared out by the Caeruleus Draco Squad earlier. We can settle them there for now. After their trial period, if theyâre suitable, weâll bring them in."
"I was thinking the same thing. The safe zone needs people, and even if these ordinary folks have some ulterior motives, they wonât stir up too much trouble. Itâs better to let them fend for themselves rather than let them waste away," Jo Sungmo laughed. "By the way, when I came back, I noticed there were a lot of Igloo by the river. It looked like there were people inside. Whatâs going on there? Is there some new project being built?"
"Hey, you donât know? Mr. Kim set up a Greenhouse! Soon, weâll start building Geenhouses too. That way, we can grow food even in winter. We wonât have to worry about starving anymore," Jang Dojang said, beaming with pride.
Jo Sungmo was also impressed: "As expected of Mr. Kim ."
"By the way, whereâs Chung Hwangeun?" Jang Dojang was planning to introduce the top ability user of the Pyeongseong Safe Zone to Mr. Kim, but this guy was always running off.
He still hadnât even met Mr. Kim.
Now that he was finally back, he wasnât going to run off again, was he?
Talking about this, Jo Sungmo couldnât help but laugh. "Well, he hasnât been back to the safe zone for a while, right? He was stunned by the huge changes here and immediately ran off to explore. When he first came back, he even thought he was in the wrong place."
"Hahaha, serves him right, running around everywhere and never staying still," Jang Dojang laughed. "Alright then, Iâll go find him. Let him wander around on his own and he wonât get any useful information. Iâll properly introduce him. Mr. Kim already knows youâre back and that there are so many new people in the safe zone. Heâll be over this afternoon, and itâll be a good chance for him to meet Chung Hwangeun."
Jo Sungmo shrugged his injured arm. "Go ahead. We donât need you here, and once I finish handling things, Iâll report everything to the Safe Zone Commander."
Jang Dojang nodded and left.
When he found Chung Hwangeun, the latter was walking around the framework of the Greenhouse with a look of wonder on his face.
The Metal-type Ability Users who were busy setting up the framework greeted him as he passed.
Seeing Chung Hwangeun, Jang Dojang quickly approached. "Brother Chung, theyâre busy with work, donât bother them. Come, come, let me show you around. If you have any questions, just ask me."
