Ground, temporary camp
Outside the force field entrance, the oppressive atmosphere was like a solid block of lead.
The soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes fixed on the transparent force field barrier, every slight ripple tugging at everyone’s nerves.
Suddenly!
A dark purple streak of light shot out from the sticky force field barrier like a cot tearing through the night!
The speed was so fast that it brought an ear-piercing sound!
Then it quickly landed on the rock layer at the camp’s periter, exploding into a cloud of debris and dust!
"What the hell is that?!"
The lookout on the camp’s watchtower almost had his eyes pop out of their sockets, screaming hoarsely into the communicator: "Attention! Force field abnormality! Sothing ca out! Repeat, force field abnormality! Sothing rushed out!!"
The ear-piercing alarm instantly echoed through the already uneasy camp night sky, the searchlight beams sweeping frantically like startled pythons toward that direction.
As the dust slightly dispersed, a staggering figure rushed out, instantly locked by several bright beams of light.
Wei Banng!
When they clearly saw that face stained with blood and dust, the crowd was in another uproar.
"It’s Wei Banng from Fang Qingyu’s squad! The one from Shangjing!"
However, at this mont, Wei Banng made everyone who knew her feel unprecedentedly unfamiliar.
The face that was usually like a frozen lake now clearly bore an... expression of urgency!
The always ticulously tied black long hair at the back had a few strands fallen, sticking to her pale cheeks.
Her eyes were still sharp, but full of anxiety.
Her lips were tightly pressed, trembling slightly.
Wei Banng didn’t even stand firm.
As soon as she landed, she rushed toward the direction of the temporary command post with incredible speed.
Completely ignoring the surrounding soldiers and officers, her usually cold voice lost its steadiness for the first ti, filled with huskiness and undeniable penetration:
"Move! Critical intelligence! Where’s Zhao Qiming?! Where’s Deputy Director Zhao Qiming?!"
The crowd subconsciously parted a path, frightened by the almost explosive fierceness emanating from her.
Zhao Qiming heard the commotion and stood up from behind the command post, his face livid with suspicion: "Wei Banng?! What’s the situation below? Lord Su and the others..."
"The traitor is that Earth Elent Divine Chosen!!" Wei Banng rushed forward, speaking rapidly as if firing words, each like a heavy hamr smashing the ice, "He betrayed us! Fang Qingyu suspects he’s from Creation Technology, manipulating terrain, blocking passages, and cutting off communications! We suspect that including Lord Su, four Tier Two experts, are all trapped in the core area by him! And all the communication nodes below, except for our main node, I saw along the way, are destroyed! Only shredded at remains!"
The last two words, Wei Banng almost spat out through gritted teeth.
This ans what?
It ans... the enemy was deliberately waiting for more people to be sent down.
So the snake could have more to feast on.
The area around the command post instantly fell into dead silence.
The Earth Elent Divine Chosen is a traitor?! The node guards are all wiped out?!
Each word was like a bomb, leaving everyone dizzy and icy cold all over.
The shadow of the tragedy from the day before had not yet dissipated, and now the revelation of the truth brought even deeper despair and overwhelming fury!
Zhao Qiming’s facial muscles twitched violently, his eyes turned blood-red, and he suddenly slamd his fist on the alloy desktop with a loud "bang," causing the instrunts on the desk to hum.
"Damn those Creation bastards!!!"
He roared like a wounded lion, veins bulging on his neck, "Communications officer! Where the hell is the communications officer?!!"
"Here!"
A communications officer, equally pale, scrambled over.
"Connect to Shangjing! Highest priority line! Imdiately! Now!!" Zhao Qiming’s voice was hoarse like a broken gong, carrying an undeniable iron-blooded wrath, "Tell the headquarters! Songdu Branch Deputy Director Zhao Qiming, vouching with my life! Confirming the Western Realm support Divine Chosen ’Pan Yan’ Sikong Zhen’s betrayal of humanity, plotting to overthrow! Four top-tier entities trapped in the pit core, at death’s door! Request, no! It’s an order! Order Shangjing to dispatch top-level support imdiately! Imdiately!!"
Zhao Qiming panted heavily, his eyes filled with a desperate frenzy, "Tell them, Songdu Pit... the sky is about to fall!"
It really was about to collapse.
If the other four Tier Two really got trapped down there...
The consequences were unspeakable.
Just then, Qin Hui, Qi Hao, and a few others pushed through the crowd frantically rushing over.
When they saw only Wei Banng, their hearts sank to the bottom.
"Banng! Where’s Qingzi?!" Qin Hui grabbed Wei Banng’s arm, his tiger eyes wide open, his voice trembling with fear.
Wei Banng was pulled by him and staggered.
With rapid-fire speed, she replied, "We split up! He went deeper to find Su Wanqing and the others, I ca up to deliver the ssage."
Hearing this, Qin Hui turned and walked away without a word.
Wei Banng hurriedly went forward and held them back.
"Where are you going?! Qingzi said for you to leave Songdu City imdiately!"
"Withdraw?!"
Qin Hui shook off her hand fiercely, as if hearing a colossal joke.
He looked around the hellish camp, at the traces left by fallen comrades, and hot blood rushed to his head.
He grinned, revealing a smile more tearful than a cry.
"Withdraw my ass! I promised Captain Lin I’d die before that kid."
"Mouse, Old Qiao, Lv Chen! Grab your gear! We’re... going down to save them!"
"I owe my and Old Lv’s lives to Qingzi."
Old Qiao, seeing Wei Banng in a daze, explained with a smile, then imdiately followed Qin Hui’s footsteps.
