Iron Anchor Shipping Company, after investigation, has confirmed that the Aurora Animal Assistance Association is the culprit who stole the Nizi Water Arrow Turtle eggs and Green-haired Seaweed samples from Diving Cliff several days ago.The fleeting tracking signal and the giant raven encountered during the investigation both verify this finding.
Therefore, they gladly agreed to the alliance request from Thug Prison and Burning Fortress.
They stated that on the day the battle begins, they will attack Johnck Zoo to contain the Aurora Animal Assistance Association's combat forces.
But their fundamental goal remains the experimental data and samples related to mutated creatures within Johnck Zoo.
However, just yesterday, Iron Anchor Shipping Company heard a rumor that the mutated raven wandering the sky possesses the ability to detect observers.
This poses a significant threat to the operation in a few days, so Iron Anchor Shipping Company's chairman—Carlos decided to set a trap for this mutated raven tonight to eliminate the hidden danger before the major battle, with the ambush location chosen near the Ritter Residential Area south of the zoo.
He also stated they must bring back the raven corpse samples.
He now strongly suspects that the strange fish that continuously attacked cargo ships not long ago is also related to the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.

Several days ago, a group of unidentified individuals infiltrated Greenwood Southern District from Golden Beach and hid at Seaside Villa No. 23.
After several days of investigation, our reporters have completed verification and confirmed their identity as the dominant force in Breaker Sea—'Humpback Whale'.
Iron Anchor Shipping Company's exploration team discovered an island in Breaker Sea inhabited by Nizi Water Arrow Turtles and conducted destructive harvesting, even damaging the growth environment of Green-haired Seaweed near the island.
Regarding this, 'Humpback Whale' expressed extreme anger, stating that all resources in Breaker Sea belong to 'Humpback Whale'.
Not long ago, they attacked and sank Iron Anchor Shipping Company's transport vessel.
But their battle also attracted an attack from a powerful fish-like creature, causing one container to disappear.
They sent people to infiltrate Greenwood City to secretly search for that container.
However, because the 'Blood Raven' organization was attacked and destroyed by a mysterious person, 'Humpback Whale's' advance forces have consequently fallen into a difficult situation.
Yesterday, they learned from a captured scavenger that the Animal Assistance Association in the eastern district has an extremely strong possessiveness toward various animals, along with rumors of giant animals appearing.
They developed strong curiosity about the Aurora Animal Assistance Association and plan to investigate further.

Salan, a member of "Hyena," heard shocking news yesterday.
The Aurora Animal Assistance Association, which occupies Johnck Zoo in the eastern district and has always shown extremely strong possessiveness toward various animals, is actually the true ruler of the eastern district.
As a member of Greenwood City's famous intelligence organization, he immediately recognized the value of this information, although the leader had instructed them to lay low to avoid capture by Thug Prison and Black Shield Police Department.
But he felt this was an opportunity.
If utilized well, it might quickly resolve their organization's current predicament.
Finally, he reported this information to the May Alliance in the western district and requested their protection.
Upon hearing this news, the May Alliance immediately stated they would protect the 'Hyena' organization and entrusted them to fully investigate the situation of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.
The May Alliance seemed quite interested.

Yu Yuan looked at the newspaper in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
[Celestial Phenomenon—Ominous Star Twinkling] truly lived up to being a gold quality card—the speed and scope of rumor spreading far exceeded his expectations.
"This is just the beginning. There are still three days until the major battle. Three days is enough for more factions to hear these rumors. Just like this, it's best to attract the attention of all thug factions throughout Greenwood City."
"The more chaotic the better. It would be perfect if all the hidden forces of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association are forced out!"
And his tactic—Diverting Disaster Eastward—had been flickering with faint light since yesterday, clearly also exerting its effect.
[Diverting Disaster Eastward] and [Celestial Phenomenon—Ominous Star Twinkling] were simply a perfect match.
Yu Yuan came to the whiteboard and wrote 'Humpback Whale' and the May Alliance on it, finally drawing an arrow from each, with the arrows pointing precisely toward—the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.
As of now, the number of arrows pointing toward the Aurora Animal Assistance Association had reached three.
Iron Anchor Shipping Company, Humpback Whale, May Alliance...
Finally, there was Iron Anchor Shipping Company—they were going to kill that mutated raven tonight.
Yu Yuan's eyes shifted—this seemed like an opportunity!
Returning the newspaper to the Magazine Display Stand.
Yu Yuan came to the Workbench, which had completed optimization and now possessed the function of an electronic instrument repair station.
Opening the production list, he directly began crafting electronic instruments.
"Hmm~~ production completion requires 10 hours, that's acceptable!"
What he was currently producing was the final batch of materials for constructing [Defense—Surveillance Network Control Console]. In 10 hours, he would be able to build this defensive facility!
Yu Yuan then began his routine operations methodically: checking the mealworms, feeding the sheep, examining the growth of wild chives, collecting refreshed resources from the trash can, conducting shooting practice, using the Reading Pen to read books...
Thus time gradually reached 7 PM.
[Comprehended Skill—Precision Shooting (Ordinary)]
[Comprehended Skill—Basic Low-Altitude Parachuting (Ordinary)]
Looking at the comprehension information appearing on the Virtual Light Screen, Yu Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.
"Finally comprehended them!"
Low-altitude parachuting was a very important skill in Yu Yuan's mind—a treasure skill for escaping desperate situations at critical moments.
Now that he had finally comprehended it, he could finally relax.
Although he only comprehended ordinary skills, it was sufficient.
Returning the magazine to the display stand, he began putting on his equipment, preparing to depart.
Near Johnck Zoo in District 11.
As dark clouds enveloped the sky, a feeling of impending storm hung in the air.
Yu Yuan hid inside a building less than 200 meters from Ritter Residential Area.
He quietly hid inside the room without any intention of peeking.
He understood that raven's ability better than anyone—careless observation would only expose his position.
And he had a more reliable detection method.
"Iron Anchor Shipping Company, hurry up and act!" On the Combat Detector, he could see a red dot appearing intermittently, circling once before disappearing again.
The raven was clearly patrolling its territory above the zoo.
Checking the time—it was already 1 AM.
Yu Yuan had been hiding here for over 4 hours, and thunder could be heard outside the window.
And during such waiting...
Caw—
A familiar cry came from the sky, making Yu Yuan's spirits lift!
