SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

She sat bolt upright, asking rapidly, "Has the surveillance system in the Sixth Special District of Zhenbei City not been restored yet?"

The woman paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Not yet. If nothing unexpected happens, the surveillance cameras throughout the entire district have been deliberately cut off."

After saying that, she steered the conversation back to the main topic: "Shen Rou, you haven't answered my question yet. Why did you tag everyone for that newbie?"

……

Jiangcheng.

At the foot of a mountain range, Gu Cang's fingertip paused on his phone screen: "Zhenbei City?"

He put his phone back in his pocket, turned around and said in a deep voice, "Xiaoman, Sanshi, you two come with me to Zhenbei City."

As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze swept over the group of people behind him who were holding weapons.

"The rest of you brothers, there are still some hidden strongholds in Jiangcheng, which I'll leave to you."

"Although their main force may be gone, we still need to be extra careful. If we sense anything amiss, we should retreat immediately."

"Yes!" the crowd responded in unison, their eyes resolute.

Yucheng.

Zhao Shanhe stared at his phone screen, his finger lingering for a moment on the words "Sixth Special District of Zhenbei City," before he said in a deep voice, "Chen Yong, gather all the brothers and assemble in the Sixth Special District of Zhenbei City!"

"clear!"

Although a hint of doubt flashed in Chen Yong's eyes, he immediately turned around and took action.

The Zhen'e Ting army, located in other main cities, all looked down at their phones.

In the Zhen'e Ting general group, Shen Rou's mention message was clearly visible.

Some people frowned and repeatedly swiped the screen, some unconsciously dug their fingers into their palms, and others huddled together whispering, their eyes full of doubt:

What exactly is this newcomer named Lin Mu up to?

Did he not take the regulations of Zhen'eting seriously at all?

But in the next few minutes...

The four chiefs issued orders one after another from different main cities to rush to Zhenbei City!

At this moment, all the Awakened Ones of Zhen'erting who saw the news were dumbfounded.

The four chiefs are all acting on behalf of the same newcomer?

Lin Mu's figure became increasingly mysterious in their eyes.

Only a few people stared at the group messages, their lips moved but no words came out, and a guess that even they themselves found absurd popped into their minds.

Zhenbei City, the Third Special District.

"Holy crap! Bro, look at the group chat! That newbie is absolutely outrageous!"

Zhang Huai's fingers swiped across the phone screen; the messages in the Zhen E Ting group chat made him grind his teeth in anger.

He tossed his phone aside, his tone full of disdain: "I saw this kid about two weeks ago."

"He dared to bring his girlfriend on his first day reporting to Zhen'erting. Everything about him is offensive. When has Zhen'erting ever supported a useless person?"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking.

Lu Ping had calmly issued orders to the Zhen'e Ting army inside Zhenbei City.

Holy crap!

Zhang Huai slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching as they rubbed against the pavement.

Dozens of Zhen'erting cars behind them also stopped abruptly, their bodies swaying before they regained their balance.

He stared at the newly popped-up message on his phone, his eyes wide, his lips even twitching slightly, looking at Lü Ping in the passenger seat with disbelief: "Bro, are you serious? That newbie..."

Lu Ping raised his hand to interrupt him, his voice carrying a hint of seriousness: "Let's go, brother, back to the Sixth Special Zone."

"Don't ask, you'll find out later."

But a thought raced through his mind: Is Ting Shou about to reveal his identity?

But why choose today of all days?

Could it be that a major battle will break out in the Sixth Special District tonight?

Zhang Huai opened his mouth, the words he wanted to say swirling in his throat, but he swallowed them back and said in a deep voice, "Understood, Chief Lü Ping!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed on the gas, and the car drifted and turned around beautifully.

The black car sped off towards the Sixth Special District like an arrow.

The convoy behind them also turned around in unison, the roar of engines echoing through the empty streets and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Just then, Lü Ping's phone suddenly rang urgently.

He glanced at the caller ID, immediately pressed the answer button, and his tone instantly became serious: "Chief Ning Mo."

"Lu Ping, you lead the army to the Fifth District and wait there until we arrive before heading to the Sixth Special District together."

"Stand by? Shouldn't we go in and scout ahead?" Lu Ping frowned, his tone full of confusion.

"No! Remember, do not act rashly!"

"Lu Ping, tonight will be an unprecedentedly tough battle." Ning Mo's voice carried a hint of heaviness.

After hanging up the phone, Lü Ping leaned back in his chair, his mind racing but unable to make sense of anything.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his doubts, and said seriously, "Zhang Huai, change course and go to the Fifth Special Zone to await orders."

Zhang Huai paused on the steering wheel, completely bewildered, but still nodded decisively: "Okay!"

……

Wutong Residential Area, Anping District.

Jiang Shuwan, with her long, black hair loosely tied into a low bun and a few stray strands hanging down her neck, was busy in the kitchen.

After all, Zhenbei City is very far away, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to get back by tomorrow morning, so she had to prepare breakfast in advance.

Amidst the soft clinking of the porcelain bowls, a faint smile played on her lips, and the tenderness in her eyes almost overflowed.

It was as if the battle that had just taken place in the Hidden Dragon Mountains had never happened.

At this moment, she is just an ordinary wife and mother.

She felt very happy with her life.

She has a loving husband, an excellent daughter, and a dull and unreliable son.

Such days seemed like an unreal dream to her.

Because 25 years ago, her memories were filled with endless bloodshed.

From the time she could remember, she had been struggling in battle and escape. The Venerable One's death test was like a meat grinder, where a hundred people fought and only one person remained.

Whenever she thinks of those days, she unconsciously rubs the old scars on her wrist.

She was grateful to heaven for allowing her to meet Lin Ye, and after their marriage, she gave birth to a son and a daughter within two years, pulling her back from hell to earth.

She often stares at herself in the mirror, wondering: Is this happiness real?

If it's true, she's willing to risk her life to protect this hard-won happiness.

If it's not real, she hopes this dream can continue until the moment she closes her eyes forever.

With a "click," the kitchen door was pushed open.

A pair of warm arms wrapped around her slender waist from behind.

Lin Ye's chuckle was close to my ear: "Is it over so quickly, wife? Is that Red King already dead?"

Jiang Shuwan leaned back against him, her hair brushing against his chin, and said gently, "It's not that fast. We're only just setting off for Zhenbei City."

I'm worried that you're too lazy to cook breakfast in the morning and don't eat it.

"Three meals a day, you can't skip a single one, you know?"

"I know, I know, I'll obey my wife's orders!" Lin Ye replied with a smile.

But the next second, his hand around her waist suddenly tightened, his brows furrowed sharply, and his eyes instantly turned terrifyingly dark, though his voice remained gentle: "Wife, are you hurt?"

He turned her around, his fingertips gently brushing against the faint bloodstains on the side of her neck that hadn't been wiped away, his tone suddenly serious: "What happened?"

"Was it the kingdom's envoy who attacked you?"
