SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

Gu Cang drove very slowly, until it was completely dark before slowly driving into the neon lights of Jiangcheng.

Yunjing Residential Area.

Lin Mu carried Qinghe into a bedroom, gently placed him on the bed, and said in a gentle voice, "Rest here for a while, and call me anytime if you need anything."

"If I'm not here, call Gu Cang."

"Understood, Chief Ting, please rest assured." Qinghe nodded.

Gu Cang walked around the living room, taking in the spacious apartment: "Brother, you rent such a big place all by yourself?"

"Oh, you're still here. I almost forgot about you."

Lin Mu casually mentioned, then turned to Qinghe, "Gu Cang will deliver three meals a day. You can order food."

"Wait a minute!" Gu Cang rushed into the bedroom. "Why are three meals a day being delivered to my door? I..."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'?" Lin Mu interrupted, raising an eyebrow. "You're the one with the most free time."

"I don't trust others to deliver it; who knows when another disaster might strike and deliver the meal?"

Qinghe quickly waved his hand: "Brother Gu, if you're busy, there's no need to trouble yourself..."

"What are you saying!" Gu Cang immediately interrupted him, patting his chest with an air of righteous indignation.

"My brother is injured like this, how can I just ignore him?"

……

Ming City, an area called "Blood Alley".

The last drop of blood splattered on the ground, and the massive body of the SS-class mutant crashed to the ground, coming to a complete stop at the feet of the woman with short pink hair.

Yu Ning licked the remaining blood from the corner of her mouth, and the blue tail fin that gleamed coldly behind her retracted into her body with a "whoosh".

Her beautiful eyes swept over the corpses lying haphazardly in the alley, her voice filled with excitement: "Zhiyu, this time we've really discovered something incredible!"

Liu Zhiyu squatted beside the corpse of a gray-robed man, his brow furrowed: "The mutants and awakened ones are secretly interacting... so where did these gray-robed men come from?"

A terrifying thought swirled in his mind, causing his fingertips to tremble slightly.

Yu Ning waved her hand: "Take all these corpses back."

As soon as she finished speaking, hundreds of mutant figures behind her moved simultaneously...

A moment later, the roar of engines grew louder as the black convoy of cars from Mingcheng Town Ersi came to a steady stop at the entrance to Blood Alley.

The Chief of Staff slowly stepped out of the car. Looking at the bloodstains scattered in the alley, he sighed, "All day long, there's fierce infighting within and chaos outside... I'm afraid this world is going to never get better."

The hundreds of members of the Zhen'e Division behind him stood at attention, exuding an imposing aura.

"Let's clean up the battlefield." The Chief Commander waved his hand, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"Those who were going to leave have already left. This level of fighting is not something we can get involved in."

……

9:00 in the evening.

The Central Academy in the Holy Capital.

"Sigh, teaching Awakened Ones is nowhere near as interesting as conducting experiments at the base!"

Lin Yan sighed as she walked, heading towards the detached villa assigned to her by the academy.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed through the trees behind her.

Then came a muffled thud, like a heavy object hitting the ground, followed by an instant silence.

Lin Yan turned around abruptly, but there was nothing behind her except a few fallen leaves that were swept up by the evening breeze and slowly drifted to the ground.

"Huh? Is it just my imagination?"

She frowned and muttered to herself, feeling a little uneasy. She turned around and quickened her pace, her high heels clicking on the stone pavement.

After her figure completely disappeared, a man in black slowly peeked out from behind the thick tree.

At his feet lay a gray-robed man who had been knocked unconscious, with blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth.

The man in black quickly took out his phone and dialed a number. A frail voice came from the other end of the line: "What's wrong?"

"Dean, someone has attacked Director Lin, it's very likely..."

"I understand," the old man interrupted him, his tone tinged with coldness.

"The base will send two sixth-tier awakened individuals to protect her closely. You stay on the perimeter and keep watch, don't reveal your whereabouts."

"Yes, Dean Zhu."

The phone call ended, outside the interrogation room at the R&D base.

Dean Zhu looked at the two unconscious men in gray robes on the ground, his brows furrowed, his voice filled with boundless anger:

"Interrogate these people with torture! If they won't say anything, just kill them!"

"Yes!" the two guards replied with their heads bowed, and carried the gray-robed man toward the dimly lit interrogation room, where the faint crackling of electricity could be heard.

Dean Zhu exuded a powerful aura, his eyes icy cold: "They dare to extend their reach here..."

"Do they really think we old folks are all dead?!"

……

2:00 AM, Saint Capital.

A black Maybach with its license plate completely covered by a black cloth was parked silently on the side road outside the building.

The engine shut off, the car door slowly opened, and a figure in a black robe stepped out.

He looked up at the brightly lit Zhen'erting Building, a fleeting tenderness flashing in his eyes, as if recalling some warm scene.

But the next second, that gentleness was replaced by an icy chill. He closed the car door and his figure disappeared into the night.

A moment later, outside the central power building, a figure in black robes appeared out of thin air.

The building's glass doors slowly opened to both sides.

The moment he stepped into the hall, a cold, sharp voice suddenly boomed: "Who are you? Don't you know where you are?"

Before he finished speaking, four guards dressed in black had already strode up to the man in black robes. Long swords gleamed coldly at their waists, and their eyes were filled with undisguised disdain.

It was as if the black-robed man before them was nothing more than an overconfident ant.

Lin Mu slowly raised his eyes, and as his gaze swept over the four people, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "The one who killed you."

"court death!"

The four men in black roared simultaneously and attacked the man in the black robe.

Lin Mu smiled and said, "Let the show begin."

The moment he finished speaking, a surge of crimson flames erupted from his body, the temperature so high that the air itself began to distort.

"boom--"

In the blink of an eye, the crimson flames enveloped the four guards, and before they could even scream, they were burned to ashes.

Immediately afterwards, crimson flames swept through the first-floor hall like a tidal wave, flames rose everywhere, and shrill screams echoed one after another.

All items melted instantly under the high temperature, turning the entire hall into a sea of ​​fire.

The next second, an even more intense burst of crimson flames erupted from Lin Mu's right fist, the flames condensing into a menacing fire dragon on his fist.

He punched upwards, and the fire dragon instantly broke through the ceiling and flew upwards.

The bottom ten floors of the Power Building were engulfed in flames, and the sounds of the building collapsing and the glass shattering came one after another.

Smoke and flames billowed from the windows on every floor.

"boom--"

The crimson flames attacked indiscriminately from each floor, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Mu had already reached the seventh floor.

His footsteps pounded across the burning floor, leaving a trail of sparking footprints, his eyes devoid of any pity.

"Elder Sha is in charge of the central command today; go and report this immediately!"

A sixth-tier Awakened One roared, drawing his longsword with a cold glint in its blade as he attacked the man in black robes.

Behind Lin Mu, several powerful auras of awakened beings appeared simultaneously.

Lin Mu sneered, a hint of regret in his voice: "Breaking through to the sixth rank is already difficult enough, why insist on associating with darkness?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crimson flames around him surged again, forming a huge wall of fire that even the powerful Awakened Ones couldn't get close to.

One of them cried out in terror, "Who are you?! Do you think you can leave the central command alive today?!"

"Heh, you dared to touch my people, so of course you'll have to pay tenfold." Lin Mu's eyes flashed with endless killing intent, and crimson flames transformed into several fire dragons behind him.
