"Medical team! Quick, over here!!!"

"Stretcher, stretcher, there's a seriously wounded person!!"

"Make way! Keep the passage clear!!"

The staff at the temporary command post at the edge of the force field were the first to react, their piercing shouts cutting through the night sky.

"Here! Beacon Fire Squad! Seriously wounded!" Qin Hui and Lao Qiao shouted hoarsely as if waking from a dream, carefully placing the almost exhausted and unconscious Liu Zheng onto the stretcher that had been brought over.

Qi Hao and Lü Chen quickly helped the swaying firefighters and handed them over to the medical staff who rushed up.

The white-clad figure darted through the flashing red and blue police lights, moving swiftly and professionally.

"Quickly! Expand the temporary medical area! Extend the cordon! Clear out all unauthorized personnel!!"

The on-site commander's shouts were exceptionally clear amidst the noise.

The inflatable sheds, which were originally just for rotation and rest, were quickly connected and expanded to form a relatively enclosed emergency treatment area, blocking the curious gazes from the outside.

Construction vehicles roared as they began moving the roadblocks, completely isolating the area.

Before being carried away, the last conscious member of the Beacon Fire Squad struggled to look at Fang Qingyu, who stood at the entrance, his figure appearing somewhat aloof in the interplay of light and shadow. His lips moved, his voice weak but filled with gratitude for surviving the ordeal: "Captain Fang... thank you."

Fang Qingyu simply nodded slightly, his figure still upright.

Only his violently heaving chest and the bloodstains on his face showed the extent of the brutal battle he had just fought.

Qin Hui and the others quickly treated their scrapes and dirt before gathering around.

They glanced at each other, both seeing the same exhaustion and a relieved smile on each other's disheveled faces.

Jiang Wei also silently walked to Fang Qingyu's side, gently tugged at the hem of his tattered clothes with her small hand, and looked up at him with her pale face.

Fang Qingyu lowered his head and met those clear, calm eyes.

His tense lips seemed to relax slightly, and he raised his hand to rub her little head.

Watching the medical staff quickly treat the wounded, watching the logistics personnel anxiously contacting various parties, and watching the city's dazzling neon lights shimmering in the sleepless sky in the distance.

Prosperity and doomsday are separated by only a fine line.

Just moments ago, they were fighting for their lives in a sea of ​​insects, but now they find themselves in this bustling yet peaceful human world.

The stark contrast stirred a complex mix of emotions within Fang Qingyu, but more than anything, it brought a sense of weariness after everything had settled down.

There wasn't much to say among them.

The fact that they were able to overcome their fear of life and death and trust each other to rush out of the cave under those circumstances was the greatest weight they could bear among them.

Otherwise, if someone else were to do it, everyone would say Fang Qingyu is crazy.
Just then, the screeching sound of brakes grew louder as it approached!
Several black SUVs with special license plates from the Sanctuary Bureau, like raging beasts, brutally tore through the outer cordon and came to an abrupt stop at the edge of the temporary medical area!
The door of the lead vehicle was suddenly pushed open, and Director Wu Yu's tall figure stepped out!
His weathered and scarred face was expressionless, but his sharp, hawk-like gaze swept across the room, carrying an invisible, heavy pressure.

Their gazes immediately locked onto Fang Qingyu, who stood at the entrance of the force field, covered in blood yet still as upright as a spear, along with the other team members.

Upon seeing this, Wu Yu immediately strode over.

Behind him were several bodyguards with deep, imposing presences, clearly elite, and a secretary with a tense expression.

"Director Wu." Fang Qingyu nodded slightly, his voice a little hoarse.

"Good! Good! Good!" Wu Yu said "good" three times in a row.

He reached out and patted Fang Qingyu's shoulder hard, so hard that Fang Qingyu swayed slightly, but the gesture contained undisguised admiration and relieved gratitude.

His gaze then swept over Fang Qingyu's tattered and blood-stained combat uniform, and he said in a deep voice, "You've worked hard! The bureau will definitely remember this merit and will not let your efforts be in vain!"

He also glanced at Qin Hui, Lao Qiao, and the others, and saw that although they were in a sorry state, they were all alive. His tense jawline seemed to relax a little.

"You all did a great job! You didn't disgrace the Dragon Spine Camp!"

Without wasting words, Fang Qingyu pulled out the blood-stained, cracked black metal intelligence device from the deepest part of his combat uniform and solemnly handed it over.

Wu Yu's eyes instantly turned serious. He reached out his calloused hand and carefully took the intelligence device.

"It was bought with lives during the war, and Captain Lin is also trapped inside."

Fang Qingyu's voice remained calm, but the weight of his words made Wu Yu's breathing become heavier.

Wu Yu took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "I know."

He didn't say anything more, but patted Fang Qingyu's shoulder hard again.

Immediately, Wu Yu turned around and sternly addressed his secretary and several senior executives standing behind him: "Immediately! High-level meeting! Notify all relevant department heads, the analysis team, the tactical simulation team, and the logistics support team to assemble in the top-level operations room in 15 minutes! No mistakes! Also, summon all the elite squad leaders who can still be mobilized from the perimeter! Quickly!"

After doing all this, Wu Yu refocused his gaze on Fang Qingyu's face, asking with a hint of inquiry, "Captain Fang, will you be attending the upcoming operational meeting?"

With his divine weaponry, Fang Qingyu's strength alone is more than enough to secure him a position in the Bureau of Divine Management, not to mention the great merit he has just made.

Fang Qingyu's eyes were calm, and without any hesitation, he slowly nodded. His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached Wu Yu's ears:

"go."

The top floor of the Shenguan Bureau Building in Qingjian City.

Inside the operations room, codenamed "Rock," the atmosphere was as heavy as solid lead.

The huge circular conference table was almost full.

Besides the core high-ranking officials of the Qingjian City Divine Management Bureau headquarters and the captains of various elite teams, there were also more than a dozen unfamiliar faces who looked travel-worn.

They were reinforcements urgently dispatched from a nearby city.

However, because the situation in Songdu City was more critical, not many people came.

The head of the table is naturally Director Wu Yu.

The blood-stained black intelligence device lay open in front of them, connected to a high-speed analysis device that projected the data obtained by the Beacon Fire Squad at the cost of their lives onto a huge holographic screen in the center of the conference room.

Fang Qingyu sat to the right of Wu Yu, towards the back. Qin Hui, Lao Qiao, Qi Hao, and Lü Chen sat further out. Jiang Wei sat quietly in the chair next to Fang Qingyu, sipping her warm milk.

At the other end of the conference table, near the support area, a figure stood out.

A woman wearing a matte black combat uniform without any markings stood tall and straight. Her long, jet-black hair, reaching her waist, was like fine silk, simply tied back, with a few stray strands falling down to outline her perfectly sculpted profile.

He sat there, making no unnecessary movements, not even looking at anyone, simply gazing quietly at the data flowing on the holographic screen in front of him, like a perfect yet cold jade sculpture.

Some members of the support team were secretly watching her, their eyes filled with awe or curiosity, but she seemed oblivious.

She didn't look at anyone, as if everything around her was irrelevant to her.

"Everyone's here." Wu Yu's deep voice broke the silence, carrying an undeniable authority and a hint of heaviness. "Time is of the essence, so let's cut to the chase. Captain Fang has brought back crucial intelligence, obtained at the cost of the Beacon Fire Squad's lives. Now, I'm sharing it with you."

He tapped the console, and the holographic screen lit up instantly. Complex energy graphs, blurry image fragments, and biological structure analysis diagrams scrolled wildly before finally settling on a few key images.

Wu Yu pointed to a huge, constantly flashing red dot in the center of the screen: "Target 'Mother Nest,' peak of the monstrous level, only one step away from molting. Preliminary codename 'Abyss Weaver of Fate.' Its core nest is not located deep in the Old Port District, but here."

"Deep underground in Qingjian City's Central Park!"

"The nest is estimated to be over 300 meters deep, with a complex structure, built from a mixture of special biological mucus it secretes and building materials it ingests, resembling a giant underground beehive." Wu Yu's voice was icy.

"As for the swarm, the intelligence from the Beacon and Captain Fang's personal experience confirm that they have completely occupied the entire force field coverage area. Their numbers are impossible to count precisely, they are diverse, and they possess extremely strong environmental adaptability, cooperative combat capabilities, and regenerative abilities. The swarm in the core area is of a higher level and poses an extremely great threat."

"Now the entire force field is its breeding ground and hunting ground."

Then an extremely blurry image appeared on the screen.

All that could be seen was a massive, suffocating outline, the main body resembling a huge, pulsating, dark purple tumor, its surface covered with layers upon layers of deep purple carapace that shimmered with a metallic sheen.

Countless thick, dark red tubes, like blood vessels and nerve bundles, extended from the tumor, plunging deep into the surrounding rock layers and ruins.

"This is a preliminary analysis and assessment of the Abyss Weaver's true form."

"The main body has a diameter of over fifty meters, and its surface is covered with a deep purple carapace, which has extremely high physical defense and energy resistance. The attacks that the Beacon Fire Squad has tried have been almost ineffective."

"And those extending channels are not only fixed structures, but also organs that absorb energy, transform matter into their own energy and nurture nutrients."

"Next up is the most troublesome ability of this ghostly being!"

"The mental network seems to be able to construct a mental network covering the entire force field through some kind of bioelectric signal or pheromone, and to have absolute control over all insectoid ghouls. Low-level ghouls are just cannon fodder, while high-level ghouls can execute complex tactics."

Everyone who saw this frowned deeply.

This is not just about dealing with one ghost, but an army of tens of thousands of ghosts!
The scene continues to switch, and an even blurrier image appears.

A figure dressed in a Bureau of Sanctuary uniform could be vaguely seen, tightly bound by countless dark purple, viscous threads that emitted a faint glow, like a giant cocoon, suspended above the core tumor.

Countless tiny energy streams, like blood vessels, connect the "cocoon" to the mother body below.

"Team Leader Lin!" Duan Ling's voice trembled with suppressed pain.

“Confirmed.” Wu Yu’s voice was slightly hoarse. “After Captain Lin was seriously injured, he was captured. The Abyss Weaver did not kill him immediately, but instead transformed him into a ‘living energy source’!”

"Captain Duan, rest assured, rescuing Team Leader Lin and destroying the Mother Nest are two sides of the same coin!"

Then, the screen finally displayed the twisted spiral eyeball badge that Fang Qingyu had brought back.

"During this force field, many people also encountered an armed force called 'Viper,' an external operations team that called itself 'Creation Technology Company.'"

Wu Yu's gaze swept across the entire room, pausing briefly on Fang Qingyu and the woman. "They are well-equipped, their members are martial artists modified with materials from the Ghost of Fate, they are ruthless, and they commit suicide while carrying highly poisonous substances. Their target is also the Insect Queen, claiming it's to 'cooperate with the research team to collect samples.'"

He paused, his tone turning serious: "We currently have zero intelligence on this 'Creation Technology'! They appeared inside the force field, their target is the insect queen, their methods are cruel and their motives are unclear. Their background, strength, and purpose are all huge hidden dangers."

"but!!"

Wu Yu's voice suddenly rose, becoming resolute:

"Priority! Now! Right now! Nothing is more important than destroying the 'Abyss Weaver,' rescuing Lin Kang, and averting the catastrophic disaster that is engulfing half of Qingjian City!"

“Creation Technology is a venomous snake, and we must be wary of them. However, their current area of ​​activity also appears to be within the force field, and they are hostile to the Zerg swarm. Until the core threat is eliminated, their problems will be put on hold for now! The intelligence department will immediately launch a top-level investigation.”

"At the operational level, we currently have only one objective: the Mother Nest!"

The conference room was dead silent.

The grotesque image of the mother nest on the screen, Lin Kang who was being used as an energy source, and the diagram of the endless swarm of insects brought immense pressure.

The captains of the support team also looked extremely grim.

Wu Yu looked around the room, his gaze finally settling on an elderly man who had been resting with his eyes closed at the end of the conference table.

The old man was dressed in faded old-fashioned training clothes. His hair and beard were all white, and his face was thin. He sat there as if he were out of place in the steel environment around him, yet he gave people a sense of steadiness like a mountain.

He was the martial arts master that Fang Qingyu had met in the special training class before.
He is also the only martial arts master that can be mobilized in Qingjian City.

"Mr. Chen," Wu Yu said respectfully, "do you have any further comments?"

Chen Wenshan slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes weren't sharp; in fact, they were somewhat cloudy. But when his gaze swept across the entire room, everyone felt an invisible, heavy pressure.

Chen Wenshan's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable power, clearly reaching everyone's ears:

"I have no objection. If I had to say something, it would be to hurry up."

He then pointed to the huge red dot on the screen that represented the core nest of the queen insect.

"If this drags on, the insects will only multiply! Lin Kang can't hold on! The city can't hold on either!"

"I even think I might not be able to hold on."

"There's no foolproof plan. Each squad, fight your own battle!"

"Elite spearhead, strike straight at the core! Outer teams, each find cover and establish ambush points! We don't aim for total annihilation, we just want to hold back the swarm in the area in front of you! Buy the spearhead even one more second!"

"There is only one objective: to cut off the head of the queen insect before the swarm of insects completely engulfs us!"

"Therefore, it is best to make the move before dawn."

The meeting room fell silent after he finished speaking, only to be broken by more urgent orders to act.

Wu Yu immediately responded: "Execute! Staff group, immediately divide the ambush zones according to Elder Mo's requirements! Logistics, distribute equipment as quickly as possible! All team leaders, take command within one hour and assume responsibility for your respective defense zones! Disperse!"

"Yes!"

The response was crisp and decisive, carrying a sense of resolute determination.

Fang Qingyu stood up and took one last look at the red dot on the screen that resembled a bleeding heart, and the blurry dot next to it marking Lin Kang's location.

He then turned and strode away.

Jiang Wei immediately jumped off the chair and jogged after her.

"Do you still practice martial arts?"

Looking at the floor Fang Qingyu pressed, Jiang Wei's face showed a little confusion.

Fang Qingyu glanced down at her, his eyes deep, and instead of explaining directly, he slowly said, "Yes, it needs to be refined."

His voice was calm, without any hint of pre-battle tension, but rather a strange sense of certainty.

Jiang Wei tilted her head, her clear eyes filled with even more confusion, as if silently asking: At this point, what are you still practicing?
Fang Qingyu's gaze seemed to pierce through the cold metal walls of the elevator, landing on a map deep in his mind that no one else could see.

The experience bar, representing a martial artist's level, was clearly displayed.

【Occupation: Warrior (★) Lv.1 (199/200)】

Just a hair's breadth away! The final push!
Before the elevator doors opened, Fang Qingyu didn't let Jiang Wei remain puzzled for long.

"I'm about to break through."
