Everyone's hunting for treasure: I'll give you 100 times the loot and hand it over to the

The shattered flesh fragments of the mastermind covered the mesh panel, and the remaining silver pipes crawled on the ground, but they could only crawl two steps before being crushed into ashes by the Black Lotus Pure Land.

The program chain wrapped around the hibernation pod did not shut down.

It was pulled out halfway from the hatch interface, the chain link stood up, and the end was aimed at Lin Jianguo's temple.

The blood shield was still pressed against the hole in Lin Chuxue's breastplate, and the Blood Pool's wailing had already risen.

She was prepared to cut the chain along with the hibernation pod.

Lu Yan gripped her shoulder armor.

"Don't move, look closely at his hands."

Lin Chuxue's staff stopped in mid-air.

The person inside the cabin did not open their eyes, but their right hand was pressed on the sheet, and their index finger moved slowly.

He did not touch the silver chain.

He tapped the inside of the hatch with his index and middle fingers, making two short and one long taps, paused for a moment, and then tapped again.

Zhao Lei stood on the outer circle, with chunks of flesh still hanging on his shield.

"I've seen this gesture before."

Qin Wuyi pressed down on the main disk, and the array patterns remained locked three feet outside the hibernation pod.

"There is a trap behind you. Do not follow."

Lu Yan looked at the structural lines that jumped out on the Void Disc.

The silver program chain bypassed Lin Jianguo's central nervous system and did not contact his consciousness nodes.

It always hangs on the surface of the body.

The chain could reach the ground through his flesh and blood, but it couldn't enter his mind.

Lu Yan spoke.

"He was not corrupted."

Lin Chuxue did not lower her hand that was holding the staff.

Lu Yan handed the plate to her.

"Ten years ago, he left himself here, not as a vessel for it."

"He is guarding this stone slab."

The silver chain suddenly straightened.

The characters on the chain were replaced with a high-dimensional transcription protocol, densely packed onto the hibernation pod.

A red warning popped up on the monitoring screen.

[Residual consciousness of the original donor detected.]

[Preparing to perform an overwrite.]

[Priority of the carrier has been increased.]

Below the old shrapnel wound on Lin Jianguo's chest, low-red lines lit up.

The lines do not spread outwards.

It clings to the ribs, draws inward, goes around the heart, and lights up segment by segment along the spine.

The Void Disc remained silent for half a second before providing its analysis.

The first generation of Night's Watch destroyed their remaining forces.

[Trigger condition: Writing of higher-dimensional consciousness.]

[Formation permissions: Executed after vital signs cease.]

Qin Wuyi stared at the line of analysis, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

"He has the formation etched into his very bones."

Zhao Leiguang swallowed the curse words that were on the tip of his tongue.

The silver program chain detected the anomaly, its links retracted, and it attempted to evacuate from the hatch interface.

Lin Jianguo's fingers stopped.

He raised his hand half an inch towards Lin Chuxue's palm through the glass.

Lin Chuxue did not try to catch it.

She placed her hand on the outside of the hatch, her palm facing the hand covered in needle marks and old wounds.

"dad."

There was no response from inside the cabin.

The two fingers gently fell back onto the bed sheet, pressing down on the corner of the old military uniform.

The next second, all the red marks under the old wound closed up.

There was no fire in the hibernation pod.

Only a fine ring of lines spread out from Lin Jianguo's chest, sweeping across the silver program chain, across the bulkhead, and across every remaining interface.

The characters on the chain lose their color first.

Subsequently, the chain segment split into fine ash from the middle.

The higher-dimensional code wanted to disperse and escape, but the remaining array did not provide it with an exit.

The gray-white characters had just left the chain link when they were dragged back into the cabin by the red stripes and burned to ashes.

Lu Yan raised his hand, and the Black Lotus Pure Land pressed down on the edge of the hall.

No program can penetrate the flesh wall.

Not a single fragment could jump into the crack in the ground.

Lin Jianguo's body began to disintegrate.

The old military uniform collapsed first, and the stars on the shoulder insignia rolled to the bottom of the cabin with a soft thud.

Next came the old scars on my arms, chest, and face.

No blood, no severed limbs.

Ashes fell inside the cabin, forming a thin layer.

Lin Chuxue stood still, the end of her staff pressed against the grid panel.

She did not break open the hibernation pod.

The blood patterns on the Blood Pool Howl retracted into the staff, while the shield remained attached to her breastplate.

When the last bit of dust fell, only two things remained inside the cabin.

An old copper coin.

A stone slab soaked in dark blood.

The hibernation pod glass shattered on its own.

When the fragments landed, Lin Chuxue caught the copper coin first.

The edges of the copper coin were worn shiny, and the square hole in the middle was filled with dried blood clots.

The front is engraved with the Night's Watch number.

001.

There are only five characters on the back.

China does not accept garbage.

Lin Chuxue rubbed the copper coin with her thumb but didn't put it in her pocket.

She tucked the copper coin inside her breastplate, close to her heart.

Lu Yan bent down and picked up the stone slab.

The stone slab was less than half a palm's width, with a corner missing from the edge, and the array patterns had turned black after being soaked in blood.

Qin Wuyi stood to the side, and the main plate in his palm suddenly trembled.

He looked down.

The eight array patterns on the main plate lit up simultaneously, and the ninth gap that appeared was directly opposite the stone slab in Lu Yan's hand.

"The Qin family."

Qin Wuyi stretched out her hand, but her fingertips did not touch the surface of the stone slab.

"The ninth piece."

The Void Disk retrieved records of the underground structure of the old city hospital from ten years ago.

On the night Lin Jianguo disappeared, a small-scale collapse occurred under the foundation of the old city hospital.

The collapsed area was sealed off as an abandoned pipeline.

On the same night, the Qin family's array stone slabs lost their position.

The mobile sanctuary was later searched throughout Sichuan, but the last piece could not be found.

They've come to the wrong place.

Lin Jianguo took the stone slab underground and used his own body as a lock.

The mastermind is not imprisoning him.

The mastermind had been guarding this for ten years, just waiting for him to give out.

Qin Wuyi took the stone slab.

The moment the stone slab touched the main plate, the bloodstains receded from the array patterns, revealing the complete military strategist engravings underneath.

Six secondary disks rose from the ground.

Brass lines intertwined in mid-air, and the long-incomplete Qinling military formation map was pieced together stroke by stroke.

Mountains, ancient roads, city walls, and arrays of terracotta warriors all loomed over the hall.

In the center of the map, a line of blood stretches eastward from the Qinling Mountains.

It passed through the old city hospital, through the earth's vein nodes, and finally nailed into the urban area of ​​Chang'an.

The target location is magnified.

[Chang'an Underground Armory.]

[The Seventh Gate.]

Qin Wuyi looked up at the battle formation diagram.

"This stone slab is not a single key point in the formation."

Lu Yan took over the conversation.

"It's also a key."

Fine cracks appeared at the edge of Qin Wuyi's main plate.

After the stone slab was put back in its place, the battle formation diagram did not stop.

The bloodline continued to drill into the ground, penetrating the location of the seventh door and pointing to a deeper layer of darkness behind the door.

There were no structural markings there.

There are only two ancient characters.

Welcome Jiang.

Su Yunqing's voice came through the channel.

"Veterinary signs are stable in all six underground levels."

"The first batch of culture chambers has broken free from autonomous circulation, and the medical team is taking over."

She paused.

"All three thousand children are still alive."

Above the old city hospital, the blood membrane loses its main source of energy.

The fleshy growths on the wall fell down, crashed into the drain, and shrank into dry, hard chunks of flesh.

The blood vessels that crawled along the building also began to wither.

The hospital's exterior walls revealed original cement cracks and faded signs.

Xiao Qianyu's communication was connected to the channel.

"The recyclable materials outside the ward have been cleaned up."

Shen Xinglin then gave the report.

"The railway underpass is safe, and the line for transferring the wounded has been reopened to traffic."

Zhao Lei slammed his shield into the ground.

"Comrade Lin's finishing touches were even more efficient than our logistics department writing scrap reports."

Qin Wuyi glanced at him.

"Could you please say less?"

Zhao Lei scratched the edge of his helmet.

"If I say less, the atmosphere will become even more uncomfortable."

Lin Chuxue turned around in front of the hibernation pod.

"Then shut up."

Zhao Lei opened his mouth, then obediently raised the shield.

Lu Yan looked at Qin Wuyi.

"Keep the stone slab safe."

"The old town is under Level 1 heritage lockdown, and no one is allowed to touch the ashes inside the cabin."

"The medical team will go down to the sixth floor first, and the engineering team will follow up to dismantle the network of flesh and blood."

"receive."

Qin Wuyi placed the stone slab into the main plate, the array patterns closed, but the military formation diagram did not disappear.

The coordinates of the seventh gate of Chang'an are left in the center of the board.

The monitoring screen above the lobby suddenly lit up.

One yuan, two yuan, a dozen yuan.

All the abandoned screens started displaying static.

As the snowflakes receded, the image of the silver-masked man filled the screen.

The silver mask has no facial features; on the screen, it raises its hand, palm facing outward.

"You've got the key."

"But I'll be waiting for you in Chang'an for the position of the seventh sword in the first squad."

Dense code appears at the edge of the screen.

They attempted to crawl into the Longwei network by following the communication channels in reverse.

Lu Yan raised the Void Plate.

The black lotus pattern overshadowed all the monitoring screens.

The glass, wiring, and mirror casing were all shredded into pieces.

The image of the silver-masked man was cut into dozens of pieces, fell to the ground, and went out completely.

Lu Yan retrieved the Void Disc.

"Walk."

"Go to Chang'an and close the gates."
