After the meteorite escaped Earth, the "water droplets" covering the snow-capped mountains also disappeared.

Led by Fatty, Han Yu and Zoey reached the summit of the snow mountain through a naturally formed ventilation cave and successfully left Xianshan.

Looking down from the summit, the strange clouds, the rosy glow, the peculiar light and shadows among the mountains, and the unfathomable vegetation at the foot of the mountain had all vanished, replaced by the sprouting of new life.

Except for the two unlucky fellows killed by Zhao Chenguang (and one killed by Scarface, his companion, making a total of three), the members of Organization Z had long since withdrawn from the Kunlun Mountains.

These people left markings when they retreated, all of which were understandable to members of Organization Z, including Han Yu.

Therefore, guided by Han Yu and led by Fatty, they successfully traversed the treacherous Kunlun Mountains in just three days, following a shortcut blazed by the advance team.

The exit of this shortcut was located in a certain part of Qinghai.

Upon arriving in Qinghai, Han Yu quickly contacted the local branch of Organization Z, which in turn connected her with the US headquarters.

Although Organization Z's strength had diminished significantly after Strang's death, it still possessed special channels in certain areas. Funds, necessary procedures, and identification documents for Han Yu, Fatty, and Zoey were all arranged within a day.

Zoey asked Han Yu about her plans. Without hesitation, Han Yu resolutely replied, "To continue leading Organization Z."

Han Yu didn't explain too much, but she briefly introduced what she intended to do.

She would continue Organization Z's peacekeeping mission on Earth, then shift the focus to the cosmic level, especially exploring civilizations beyond the solar system and the Milky Way, vigorously developing technology, and guarding against the meteorite's potential return for revenge.

Zoey was somewhat reluctant. She didn't want Han Yu to continue being involved in the complicated affairs of Organization Z. She advised, "Han Yu, in our eyes, you've always been like a little sister. Over the years, you've suppressed your emotions, dedicating yourself entirely to the meteorite problem and the conflicts within Organization Z, staying right in the center of the vortex of disputes. Why don't you take this opportunity to break away from Organization Z?"

Han Yu shook her head. Through years of experience, she had matured a great deal. She explained, "The meteorite has escaped, and it won't return to threaten Earth for five hundred years. But what about after five hundred years? Moreover, in the vast and boundless universe, how many civilizations are lurking in the depths of the stars, posing a real threat to Earth? Therefore, humanity must build a defense system to cope with alien and advanced civilizations. As someone who has personally experienced an alien invasion, I cannot stand idly by."

Zoey hadn't expected Han Yu to think so deeply and have such grand ideas. In her eyes, this frail little girl instantly appeared much taller.

Zoey couldn't help but ask, "Han Yu, do you really want to carry the burden of all humanity on your shoulders?"

Han Yu smiled sincerely and said to Zoey, "Actually, if you think about it differently, I'm just continuing my research in another environment. In reality, I also have multiple identities. I can use all available resources to conduct my academic research, and Organization Z has many channels, both overt and covert. I can use my authority to mobilize many unexpected resources..."

Zoey then asked, "Are you going to settle in America from now on?"

Han Yu replied, "Yes, but the most important thing has already been resolved. I want to go home to see my family, visit my teachers, and contact my classmates. I'm going to take a long vacation."

Hearing this, Zoey's worries about Han Yu were greatly reduced.

Zoey sighed, as if she had fallen back into memories of Zhao Chenguang. The Zhao Chenguang she remembered and the Zhao Chenguang in the Kunlun Mountains had once confused her.

At this moment, Zoey both loved and hated Zhao Chenguang. Her eyes were red, but tears were slow to fall.

Seeing Zoey's inner torment, Han Yu comforted her, "Zoey, why don't you spend some time with me in China, clear your head? After that, come back to America with me. As for where you want to go after that, it's up to you. Until now, you're still a member of Organization Z. If you don't have anywhere else to go, you're welcome to join me in rebuilding the banner of Organization Z."

Zoey smiled gently and nodded earnestly, accepting Han Yu's invitation.

Fatty listened to Zoey and Han Yu's conversation from the side, unusually refraining from interrupting with his usual chatter.

After the crisis, Fatty felt somewhat awkward in front of Han Yu.

Like Zoey, Fatty was confused. He hadn't expected that Jennifer, whom he had later fallen in love with, was just a puppet. His heart felt as if it had been torn apart, leaving him in great pain.

Of course, Fatty didn't think about rekindling his relationship with Han Yu, because his heart had already been buried with Jennifer in the depths of the Red Sea.

Zoey quietly asked Fatty, "Fatty, do you want to come with us?"

Fatty didn't dare to look Han Yu and Zoey in the eyes. He lowered his head and muttered, "I'm tired. I don't want to fight anymore. I want to go back to my hometown, open a martial arts gym, and live out my life like that!"
