Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

the next day.

Jiang Mian, in his capacity as "Inspector Jiang," arrived at the top of Fortress No. 6 of the Great Wall.

Looking around, besides some soldiers holding their fixed positions, there were quite a few soldiers coming and going.

Their ranks were neat, yet they moved with hurried steps, suggesting they were on their way to relieve a ward.

There are seven defense zones in total, and each zone has six giant fortresses, all lined up in a row, so they are relatively easy to identify.

These fortresses appear to be independent of each other, but in reality, they contain teleportation portals.

Once the soldiers enter the gate, they will be teleported to a "transfer station" in the virtual world for transport, and once they come out, they can go directly to their destination.

Wherever there is a need, supplies and troops can be replenished immediately, making these vastly separated giant fortresses a unified whole.

And all of this was naturally the work of Yang Xin.

However, smaller and medium-sized fortresses outside do not receive this treatment.

If there are too many "gates" in a region, they will attract each other, causing spatial instability and eventually "collapse".

For safety reasons, this defense mode was adopted.

Jiang Mian looked out over the bunkers and trenches, his gaze reaching the distant sea of ​​blood.

It stretches endlessly, with one end hidden in the mist, making one wonder if what is revealed to the world is only a corner of its enormous body.

After all, the Blood Sea Sword Tomb was created more than a hundred years ago, making it a well-deserved peak of the eighth rank.

Even from a great distance, Jiang Mian could smell a pungent, fishy odor.

"Inspector Jiang, what brings you here?"

Zhao Mangshan followed beside her, a hint of weariness in his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for several nights.

Jiang Mian, as an inspector, was subordinate to the Ministry of Supervision.

The western front is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of National Defense.

Unless there is a shortage of manpower, the higher authorities have strictly prohibited high-level awakened individuals such as the Inspector General from taking action rashly.

But this Inspector Jiang is a special envoy and has not reached a high rank, so the ban seems to be ineffective?

"To learn something."

Jiang Mian didn't offer much explanation; he couldn't very well openly say that he was going to "fish" in a sea of ​​blood, could he?

Anyway, even if it gets discovered, it won't be a big deal.

She's not a seventh-tier rank; she's just a little bit stronger than a typical sixth-tier rank.

"But... Colonel Zhao, what's going on with you?"

A sixth-level awakened being can already control their own physiological reactions, and can directly suppress negative states such as fatigue and drowsiness.

This situation is impossible unless one is subjected to a mental attack or the awakened individual voluntarily relinquishes control over their body.

"I'm fine."

Zhao Mangshan shook his head, managing a weak smile.

"Some things I couldn't figure out bothered me all night, so it was inevitable that my condition would drop."

What happened last night was really strange. I'll go ask the old man about it when I have time.

Jiang Mian nodded without asking any further questions.

After all, this is someone else's private matter. She's not here to check up on him, so there's no need to pry.

"Colonel Zhao, which section of the western front faces the greatest pressure?"

Zhao Mangshan was taken aback for a moment, then answered truthfully:

"Over in the Seventh Defense Zone, the fog of war has been active recently, and they're facing the most frequent and numerous calamity impacts."

"The seventh defense zone? The northernmost one?"

Isn't that the defense zone where Qin Xiao and Xiao Shuang are located?

That makes sense. They are both highly capable in individual combat, and dealing with hordes of calamities is like mowing grass for them, so they always go on missions together.

According to Ye Chenyang, Xiao Shuang's domain is called "Stop My Spears," which is a very special open domain.

Once deployed, all targets within the area will lose their desire to attack.

However, given his current fifth-tier strength, he can probably only last for a minute at most.

However, if the target is the [Killing] Calamity, a "Peace of War" mark can be applied when the area is closed.

As the name suggests, if the level of the calamity is lower than that of Xiao Shuang's main body, then they will not exhibit any aggressive behavior within ten minutes.

Of course, if the level is too high, the effect will be shortened to ten seconds.

In short, it's about surrendering.

This skill is absolutely amazing for support, but it relies heavily on teammate cooperation.

However, [Zhige] also possesses the most advanced physical enhancement among the top humans.

Unfortunately, Xiao Shuang himself cannot launch an attack while the domain is in effect; otherwise, the "truce" effect would be directly broken.

But for Xiao Shuang now, none of this matters.

He has teammates!

Why would Qin Xiao hesitate when facing a bunch of motionless, mindless chunks of flesh?

Just swipe!

However, with them being so flamboyant, there must be quite a few people secretly watching them.

With this in mind, Jiang Mian found his direction.

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I won't disturb your work."

She waved her hand, then walked to the edge of the top platform, transformed into a streak of black light, and shot out with a "whoosh".

……

"boom!"

In a sea of ​​blood outside the seventh defense zone, Xiao Shuang, as usual, precisely pulled Qin Xiao out of a cloud of smoke from an explosion.

"Hey Lao Qin, you always do it yourself. Don't you ever try using a clone or something?"

He clearly remembered that Qin Xiao could use elements to create clones.

Last time when we tested his skills, this guy secretly hid in the dorm behind my back, making me think he was playing with some kind of contraband!

"Well, it's not impossible."

Qin Xiao stroked his chin.

"But 'self-destruct' deals more damage and can also temper the body, increasing the advancement speed. It has quite a few benefits."

"Huh? There's such a saying?"

Xiao Shuang quickly accepted Qin Xiao's statement.

After all, it does sound somewhat reasonable.

Without thinking much, he looked around.

Not long after the [Stop My Spear] was withdrawn, another calamity filled the void, even attempting to "recover" the remains of its companions.

"Pah! A bunch of disgusting cockroaches!"

Xiao Shuang spat.

"We can't kill them all at this rate."

Although the [Slaughter] calamity that causes death within his domain will not return to the Blood Sea or stimulate the growth of other calamities,

But for the entire Blood Sea, it's still too little.

The Blood Sea Sword Tomb has accumulated power for a hundred years and is already infinitely close to the ninth rank.

However, I've heard that advancing to the ninth rank is related to "laws," so it probably won't be that easy.

"If only we could blast the sea of ​​blood straight into the sky."

Xiao Shuang shook her head and sighed softly.

"Look, you're in such a hurry again."

Qin Xiao extended his index finger, and a transparent sphere condensed at the tip.

"We are, after all, a vertex sequence; in the later stages, we'll definitely have the ability to remove this thing. So..."

He slowly straightened up and patted Xiao Shuang's chest.

"The most important thing right now is to survive, to survive until the later stages, and not to fall victim to those calamities."

"Hey—you little rascal."

Xiao Shuang, not to be outdone, punched back.

"Cough cough, be gentle, are you trying to kill me?"

Qin Xiao's chest trembled from the force of his blows, and he almost suffered internal injuries.

"Let's go, keep clearing! Let's see who reaches level six first!"

In the distance, Jiang Mian, hidden in the shadow of a small bunker, quietly watched this scene, inexplicably recalling his own high school days.

Ah, youth is truly wonderful...

She sighed inexplicably and then turned to look at a sea of ​​blood.

My guess was indeed correct.

There are two important figures here, and both sides' high-ranking officials are secretly watching them.

There are quite a few.

Especially behind her, one could even faintly sense the sharp aura of the [Void Walker].

Tsk, I'll have to sneak a bite in front of everyone again.

It was actually quite exciting...
