Let's rewind to last night.

Yu Zhengmo seemed confident. Seeing that the gear had taken root in Zhao Niugao's body and perfectly replaced his heart, he left with peace of mind.

This is indeed the case.

After the gear, or the so-called "shattering" power, entered his body, his will was constantly being impacted by a strange force.

If there is any loosening of control, the outcome will be the same as Yu Zhengmo's:

Their minds were corrupted, and they willingly fell into depravity, becoming puppets of some unknown entity.

No matter how strong his will was, this was still the outcome.

But that bastard never expected that something strange would happen after he left.

Perhaps Zhao Niugao's resentment was too strong, which attracted an indescribable being.

The crimson moon in the sky turned blood-red, like a cold eyeball silently watching him.

The other party's name and stance are currently unknown, so he will temporarily refer to this unknown being as [Red Moon].

Zhao Niugao had no choice but to make a deal with [Red Moon].

He helped Zhao Niugao solidify his soul, resist erosion, and temporarily control the power of [Shattering].

The timeframe is... seven days!

Seven days later, he left himself to the other party's disposal.

"Heh, Yu Zhengmo... you traitors, even if I go to hell, I'll drag you all down with me!"

Zhao Niugao twitched the corners of his mouth and let out a mechanical laugh.

There was no joy in that laughter, only hatred for the traitor.

With the help of [Red Moon], he could break through to the eighth rank at any time, enough to drag Yu Zhengmo down with him and leave evidence pointing directly to his family.

Since Yu Zhengmo is like this, it is very likely that other members of the Yu family, and even the Yun family, have also been tainted by that strange power!

Even if we kill the wrong person, we cannot let them go!

According to Yu Zhengmo's plan, that Inspector Jiang will most likely experience the "Dragon Transformation Tribulation" just like the previous "Doomsday".

That will be the time for him to make his move.

However, Zhao Niugao will not only not lay a hand on Jiang Mian, but will instead clear away all obstacles for her!

Going against those traitors is the right thing to do!

The only thing Zhao Niugao couldn't let go of was the younger generation of the Zhao family.

There are only a handful of Zhao family members still serving in the military, and they are all quite talented, with Zhao Mangshan being the best among them.

What he just said actually had the meaning of giving his last words.

Zhao Niugao sighed softly and muttered to himself:

"Mangshan, from now on, you will be the ones to see the world for me..."

……

The next day, in a conference room in the logistics department of the Seventh Defense Zone, Xiao Shuang and Wang Chen sat facing each other.

"You said you are from the [Silent Territory]?"

Looking at this introverted and shy boy, Xiao Shuang couldn't help but frown.

"This guy looks a bit unlucky."

It wasn't that he judged people by their appearance, but Wang Chen gave off a timid and submissive vibe, lacking any of the arrogance of a genius.

Perhaps it's related to my upbringing?

Wang Chen nodded somewhat reservedly, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Xiao Shuang scratched his head.

They just dumped the person on me like that, without any preparation whatsoever.

It was... quite sudden.

Fortunately, they're not the unruly type, so getting the "Comrades in Arms" buff to take effect shouldn't be too difficult.

So, he organized his thoughts and asked:

"Wang Chen, what type of girl do you like?"

"what?"

Wang Chen was dumbfounded. Why was this the first question he was asked?

Xiao Shuang, on the other hand, remained calm.

Having gotten used to joking around with Qin Xiao, it really wasn't appropriate for him to have a heart-to-heart talk with a shy young man.

Instead of talking about goals and ideals and making empty promises, it's more practical to become brothers.

If they can't reach an agreement, he won't force it.

After all, everyone has their own destiny, and forcing them together will only cause problems.

Wang Chen stammered for a long time, unable to utter a single word, his face turning bright red instead.

"It's okay if you can't answer, we can change the subject."

Xiao Shuang laughed heartily, seemingly very easygoing.

"No."

Wang Chen interrupted him as if by some strange twist of fate.

For some reason, he always felt that Xiao Shuang had a strange attraction to him.

It was as if his instincts told him that the other person was someone he could trust.

"If I had to choose, I'd say someone who's understanding and gentle, right?"

As soon as he said it, Wang Chen regretted it.

"Oh no, what am I saying? How did I blurt out the truth?"

"Snapped!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Shuang grabbed his hand and said "affectionately":

"We're best friends!"

"what?"

Wang Chen was stunned again.

We were having a normal conversation just now, how come I can't keep up with this guy's train of thought in the blink of an eye?

However, thanks to Xiao Shuang's outburst, the initial awkwardness between the two has faded considerably.

Xiao Shuang released his grip, cleared his throat, and said in a serious tone:

"Ahem, Wang Chen, after awakening your abilities, is there anything you'd like to do?"

Wang Chen's eyes darkened, he lowered his head and remained silent for a long while before softly saying:

"Get stronger."

"Get stronger? And then what?"

It sounded somewhat vague, but Xiao Shuang didn't show any impatience.

He's already awakened such a high-sequence ability, yet he's still so insecure. This kid must have a story to tell.

"Then……"

Wang Chen seemed hesitant to speak, pausing for a long while before finally saying:

"Prove yourself."

"Huh? Why?"

Xiao Shuang suppressed her smile and her tone became more serious.

Wang Chen nodded.

"From childhood to adulthood, I've always been a good-for-nothing, unable to do anything right. I could only watch helplessly... watch..."

He didn't continue speaking.

Xiao Shuang sensed something amiss, but didn't point it out.

It seems that Wang Chen has been timid and insecure since childhood, and probably experienced something unforgettable that shaped his personality.

Now, he wants to prove that he is not a good-for-nothing and that he is still ambitious.

He stood up, walked behind Wang Chen, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, I understand. As long as you trust me, I'll take you to new heights."

Wang Chen looked up, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Xiao Shuang extended her hand and said confidently:

"After all... I am Sequence 5, the Ceasefire of War!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chen's eyes widened suddenly.

The pinnacle of war?!

Yes, I should have thought of that sooner!

Since they've said that, we definitely have to believe them!

Wang Chen decisively reached out and shook hands with him.

The instant their palms touched, an invisible force suddenly surged from Xiao Shuang, enveloping them both.

"Holy crap?"

Xiao Shuang looked incredulous.

"That's it?"

"Successful? Successful in what way?"

Wang Chen felt a warm power surge into his body.

His blood and energy surged throughout his body, as if he had returned to the state when his abilities were fully activated that day.

"..."

Xiao Shuang opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

This guy is too naive!

They settled things after just a few words?

If you run into someone with ulterior motives, you might get sold out and even help them count the money!

"Ugh."

Xiao Shuang sighed.

"Brother, do you know how much less hard work I'll have to endure because of your handshake?"

Wang Chen: Oo

"Never mind, let's not talk about this."

Xiao Shuang waved her hand and took out a bottle of red potion from her storage equipment.

After explaining the precautions, he left with the words "Take your time to reflect" and turned to leave.

Immediately afterward, Yun Han rushed in from outside.

Before Wang Chen could react, he was carried towards a training field.

"It's done! Great! You've succeeded too! Hahaha!"

……

Feeling the increasingly surging power, Xiao Shuang ran straight towards an open area.

Accumulating enough "momentum" is one of the conditions that accelerates his advancement.

It's optional, but the potential gains are huge and cannot be ignored.

Although he is still a lone commander, he already has two "generals," which is enough to start the process of accumulating momentum ahead of time.

This unexpected surprise was just like winning the lottery.

Xiao Shuang squinted slightly, able to directly observe the flowing "momentum" with the naked eye alone.

In the distant mist, the gray-white "heavenly forces," the crimson "earthly forces," and the bright yellow "human forces" are slowly converging.

They were all forcibly enveloped by the sea of ​​blood, twisted into a dark red "rope" that connected to the core of the sea of ​​blood.

Shura seems to be doing something extraordinary.

This is probably the fundamental reason why he keeps launching wars.

Now, Xiao Shuang has the ability to compete with him for "power" from afar.

If he were to empower himself with it, he could advance to the sixth rank in one fell swoop!

Thinking of this, Xiao Shuang couldn't help but grin:

"Hehehe, Shura, your father's here!"
