Zhong Zhen was already furious, and Jiang Mian's sudden intrusion naturally made her the target of his anger.

He stared at Jiang Mian, his eyes still filled with anger.

"Who are you?"

His voice carried a sense of oppression, reminiscent of someone with a level seven disease.

Although not fully released, it was enough to overwhelm the surrounding environment.

The old door creaked and groaned, and several spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the wall.

However, Jiang Mian took a few steps forward unhurriedly and looked at A Xiang beside her.

His heart tightened, and his body moved involuntarily as he moved closer to Zhong Zhen, whispering:

"Boss, she is..."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Zhen frowned and withdrew a bit of his imposing aura.

A new leader of the alliance?

[Formlessness]?

It seems my initial worries were true, and they've even helped the other party achieve their goal.

Why didn't you tell me about this before?

He looked at Ah Xiang beside him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Boss, I...I...I..."

Ah Xiang stammered, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

You can't exactly say you were forced to betray us, can you?

"I only did a little bit of something to him."

Just then, Jiang Mian's calm voice drew Zhong Zhen's attention back.

His face darkened; he couldn't figure out what Jiang Mian was up to.

According to official sources, the person behind Yihao Pharmacy is the same person behind the Wujiemen incident.

There was also involvement of other calamity peaks in this matter.

This Alliance Leader Xu should be an ally of the other side.

But Zhongzhen couldn't sense the slightest bit of hostility from her.

Jiang Mian was too lazy to explain further to him and simply handed over the identity card that Ye Chenyang had given her.

Zhongzhen reached out and caught the card.

The card has a crystalline texture and emits a faint iridescent glow under dim light.

Such a flamboyant color scheme—you can tell at a glance who designed it.

"The minister directly criticized...the special inspector?"

He asked instinctively.

No, the call was just cut off, and people from above came right afterward.

Is it still the peak of a calamity?

Who would believe that!

Believe it or not.

Jiang Mian shrugged, with an indifferent expression.

"If such a big change hadn't happened here, I wouldn't have bothered coming back."

Zhong Zhen's eye twitched.

Does this mean that she can return to Base City One at any time and still operate openly?

Was it all an act before?!

Jiang Mian was used to his reaction. She walked slowly to the window and waited quietly for him to process the news.

There were far fewer pedestrians on the street, and a sense of inexplicable desolation seemed to permeate the air.

Just like the original Base City 144.

After a long silence, Zhong Zhen spoke again, as if he had come to a realization, his tone carrying a hint of respect:

"Inspector Xu."

Although he was a seventh-rank official, his sensitive status meant he was destined to be subservient to official personnel.

"Um."

Jiang Mian raised her chin slightly, clearly enjoying it.

However, she did not forget the purpose of her trip.

"Now tell me, what exactly is wrong?"

Zhong Zhen hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice:

"Pharmacy No. 1 has attracted a monster... that shouldn't be here."

"Sequence 16, [Underworld Fetus]."

……

After exchanging information, Jiang Mian left the office, leaving only one instruction:

Try your best to protect yourself.

Currently, Yihaodian is not as large as it seems, but it has prioritized the intake of the highest quality patients.

Even if the Imperial Hall and the Alliance combined, the total number of patients with fourth-order and above diseases might not be comparable to that.

Therefore, it is best to avoid conflict and find an opportunity to evacuate with your subordinates.

As for inhibitors, although the official supply has been cut off, those brainwashed patients seem to no longer need them.

Other patients who are not yet enrolled can only temporarily use what they have stored up before if needed.

The issue of inhibitors alone has led to many patients who originally belonged to their organization and alliance defecting and joining Pharmacy One.

However, Jiang Mian promised to report the matter to the authorities, and it should be resolved soon.

Only after her figure completely disappeared did Ah Xiang, who had been huddled to the side, finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Boss, do you... really believe she's one of the higher-ups?"

After all, the impression that Xu Miao "eats people" was deeply ingrained in his mind, and she didn't seem like a good person at all.

"Otherwise what?"

Zhong Zhen snorted coldly.

"If she's an ally of Pharmacy No. 1, there's no need to beat around the bush; we can just go straight for them."

That [Nether Embryo] has already reached the peak of the seventh rank and is about to advance; it does indeed have the ability to kill him.

Logically speaking, this was precisely the time when they desperately needed to replenish their "nutrients," so it's unclear why they didn't kill them.

Perhaps they wanted to use him as bait to lure officials?

However, it never expected that Xu Miao, the apex calamity, was actually an "undercover agent."

It seems that something unimaginable has happened outside.

"Ah Xiang".

Zhong Zhen stopped thinking about it and gave the order:

"Tell the brothers to pack their belongings and be ready to evacuate at any time!"

"yes!"

……

Meanwhile, Jiang Mian had already returned to the top-level office of the alliance.

She leaned back in her office chair, her brow furrowed, a strange sense of foreboding creeping over her.

The [Unborn Child] is quite troublesome. It can be "rebooted" by resetting its own growth stage and has a certain degree of immortality.

When the growth stage changes, its own level remains fixed, but its ability output and physical strength will decrease.

To recover, it needs to consume "nutrients".

Suppose that an official crackdown occurs, leading to a large-scale conflict with those who have been brainwashed and infected.

For the calamity-stricken side, not only can it deplete the official grassroots resources, but it can also be fully utilized after death, forming a cycle.

Moreover, aside from the [Underworld Embryo] itself, the purpose of the River of Oblivion is the key.

What do we want to achieve by introducing external variables?

Is it merely to utilize resources, or to ensure that the operation proceeds without incident?

Jiang Mian vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but couldn't figure out why.

Left with no other option, she could only order Xuanhuang to move to a position directly beneath the underground city as a last resort.

A single eighth-tier being could wipe out this city with a flick of their wrist, let alone all these other monsters and demons.

If this place were turned into a battlefield, the result would certainly be devastating.

Then, with a slight thought, Jiang Mian issued several commands through his mental connection with Yu Xiaoxiao and the others.

……

Underground warehouse.

Lu Yan was engrossed in polishing the space equipment in his hands when his spirits suddenly sank.

When she came to her senses, the unfinished bracelet in her hand had broken into two pieces.

He had no time to regret it; he rushed out of the studio and shouted outside:

"gather!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried a strange power and instantly spread throughout the entire underground production line.

Even though it was rest time, the infected people still rushed out of the dormitory as fast as they could and lined up in the open space in front of him.

A black light flashed beside Lü Yan, and Jiang Mian's figure appeared silently.

"Alliance Leader!"

He bowed slightly and said respectfully.

Jiang Mian glanced sideways at the patients with varying expressions and said softly:

"Starting today, let's move this production line to another location."

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible wave swept across the entire underground space.

Both people and equipment have completely disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, only Jiang Mian and Lü Yan remained in the entire underground space.
