Then let them offer their loyalty!

He hummed in agreement, then asked, "What about the bodies of those agents who took the Cataclysmic Potion a few days ago but didn't survive?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Director Gou of the Medical Department hesitated for a moment before saying, "Chief, the bodies of those agents... may be somewhat dangerous due to contamination by the catastrophic forces."

"Therefore, they are all stored in the morgue of the medical department."

"We plan to observe for half a month to confirm that there are no abnormalities before burning and burying them in one go."

Upon hearing Director Gou's words, Qiu Tu nodded again and said, "Call the person on duty at the medical department and ask them to open the morgue door, then wait for me to come over."

"I need to examine these bodies."

Upon hearing this, Director Gou was startled, and then said, "Director, you should leave this dirty and tiring work to us."

"There are so many corpses, don't get your hands dirty..."

Upon hearing Director Gou's words, Qiu Tu frowned slightly and rebuked him, "What do you mean by dirtying my hands? Director Gou, they all sacrificed themselves for our department and for the New Territories City."

"They are heroes!"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's criticism, Director Gou realized he had misspoke. He quickly said with an embarrassed smile, "You're right, you're right. I misspoke, I misspoke."

After saying that, he quickly added, "Then I'll arrange for someone to open the door for you, Director."

Qiu Tu hummed in agreement and hung up the phone.

He then casually beckoned to a medical staff member on duty and asked him to lead him to the morgue.

Now, thanks to the legendary events of this period, Qiu Tu has already gained tremendous prestige within the Investigation Bureau.

Throughout the Investigation Bureau, there may be people who don't know Tang Feifei, the acting director with a weak presence, but everyone knows Qiu Tu, the newly appointed deputy director.

Therefore, upon seeing Qiu Tu's summons, even though it was after get off work hours, the detective excitedly came over to lead the way for Qiu Tu.

After all... not to mention the chance of being appreciated by Qiu Tu for leading the way once, just the fact that he simply led the way for Qiu Tu was enough for him to brag about to his colleagues for hours the next day!

And so, led by the detective, Qiu Tu quickly arrived at the morgue.

The morgue was now brightly lit, with all the lights on.

The section chief on duty, sweating profusely, directed the removal of the dozens of corpses that had failed to awaken.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, the section chief hurried forward and saluted him. "Chief! We've opened the morgue as you ordered and moved out the bodies of our colleagues who failed to awaken!"

"Please inspect!"

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, then stepped inside and began to examine each corpse one by one.

Previously, the military and the investigation department's suicide squad had a total of 109 people sign up. Of them, 23 successfully awakened and became Qiu Tu's subordinates.

All 86 failed to awaken and are now lying here.

Of these, 47 were from the military headquarters and 39 were from the investigation department.

Among the 39 people in the Investigation Department, there were several acquaintances of Qiu Tu.

For example... Wang Dawei, a former ambitious detective in the detention center who actively sought to join Qiu Tu's team.

For example... Zhu Huoyan, Shi Zhang, Su Yun, and more than 20 of Qiu Tu's trusted subordinates...

For example... there are also Qiu Tu's childhood friends, Ah Shui and Da Tou...

After the "suicide squad" incident, many of Qiu Tu's confidants and brothers came to ask for his opinion.

Qiu Tu explained all the pros and cons to them. Some chose to give up, while others still wanted to take the gamble.

So only 23 out of 109 people survived. Of Qiu Tu's eight trusted confidants and brothers who volunteered, only Chen Feng and Ding Xiaoliu survived...

Seeing their faces and voices again now, Qiu Tu couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

In chaotic times, no one knows whether death or tomorrow will come first.

And some familiar people will always leave our side for various reasons.

Therefore, although Qiu Tu felt regretful these past few days, he had already accepted it...

Until... he advanced to become a Tier 3 Cataclysm and awakened his second Cataclysm ability: Dark Legion!

As Qiu Tu's second ability, the Dark Legion is almost a perfect match for Qiu Tu's cataclysmic path "Order-Politics".

A great man once said: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

Military power has always been the most important pillar of a country or regime! Whoever controls the army controls the true power of the country or regime!

In times of chaos, military power is of paramount importance!

Truth exists only within the reach of cannons.

Like Commissioner Jiang, because he lacks the military and the Investigation Department's forces, even though he is theoretically the highest-ranking official in the New Territories, his orders often fail to take effect in the New Territories.

Although Qiu Tu now holds military power within the Investigation Bureau, this power ultimately belongs to the Shelter System and doesn't truly belong to him.

If he wants to truly control this force, he will need years of infiltration and appeasement.

However... the second cataclysmic ability, "Dark Legion," gave Qiu Tu a second option!

In addition to possessing the military power within the sanctuary system, he can also possess his own unique power!

The abilities of the "Dark Legion" are simple.

If a living being has been dead for no more than 10 days and was in a state of intense emotion before death, Qiu Tu can summon and resurrect the soul of the deceased on the corpse to fight for him.

A resurrected soul can seek a vessel or cultivate independently.

Strength and intelligence are determined by various factors, including the time of death, the intensity of emotions, and the price Qiu Tu paid.

At that time, after successfully advancing, Qiu Tu resonated with the origin of the world and learned about his second cataclysmic ability.

At that moment, his eyes lit up.

Because this ability is so perfectly suited to his current situation.

It's important to understand that although he has now become the deputy director, holding a high position and wielding great power, he is disliked by Huang Shangzong above him, and coveted by Yu Zhengyi, Lin Ting, Shi Youxin, and others below.

One wrong move and he could fall from grace.

That's why he was thinking of leaving himself a few options to avoid his abilities being affected by being demoted.

In addition, he will soon become the ruler of the region.

After becoming the ruler of a region, Qiu Tu will need a certain number of people to manage such a large area.

So... this ability was practically made for his current situation!

Entering allows one to build their own team and possess their own hidden power.

Retreating can, to some extent, ensure that his strength does not decline excessively. He also retains the ability to make a comeback.

Therefore, after obtaining this ability, Qiu Tu immediately began to think about how to use it!

Soon, Qiu Tu thought of the more than eighty agents who had died due to the cataclysmic awakening some time ago.

Their courage and boldness were actually not much different from those of Qiu Tu's suicide squad members. They only had a tiny bit of luck.

Now, Qiu Tu is willing to give them that bit of luck, to give them a second chance to live, and to let them fight for themselves!

Therefore, after cleaning the rest room, Qiu Tu left the office and went directly to the morgue of the medical department.

Now, Qiu Tu touched each of the young corpses and walked through the entire morgue.

Soon, he had a dark, asphalt-like soul in his hand.

He then pretended to examine several corpses, and finally pointed to his six dead confidants and brothers, before saying, "These six men once worked for me; they were all my trusted subordinates."

"Please make sure the medical department is careful when handling this, and bury it in a good place."

Actually... as the deputy director, Qiu Tu's words caused the detectives present to work overtime to move the body. Although they didn't say anything on the surface, they still had some complaints in their hearts.

Moreover, they were also curious as to why Qiu Tu, the deputy director, would come to the morgue to inspect these corpses.

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, they all fell silent for a moment...

'We're so damn stupid....'

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood, especially medical staff, who are even more prone to sentimentality.

Now that Qiu Tu has risen to the rank of deputy director, he still remembers his former subordinates, even those who are now dead. A deep respect for Qiu Tu arises in their hearts.

Where can you find such a great boss...?

I believe that by tomorrow at work, this heartwarming story will have spread throughout the entire investigation department, thanks to the words of the detectives present, further enhancing Qiu Tu's reputation...

At this moment, Qiu Tu was unaware that his unintentional action might add another layer of glory to his reputation.

After gathering his soul, he left the medical department and returned to his office on the 9th floor.

Back in his office on the 9th floor, Qiu Tu locked the door and threw the lump of "asphalt" on the ground.

As the asphalt landed, the next second, souls separated from the asphalt and turned into shadows.

They were all the same height, with blank expressions, as if they had little intelligence.

This is because they had been dead for nine days, and their souls and consciousness had dissipated too much; and Qiu Tu did not spend too much effort to revive them.

In contrast, the last six figures that emerged were much more agile.

Zhu Huoyan, Ashui, and Datou looked down at their illusory figures with disbelief, then looked at Qiu Tu standing in front of them, and immediately guessed everything.

With tears streaming down their faces, they said to Qiu Tu, "Brother Tu...we weren't dead, were we? Did you bring us back to life?"

Qiu Tu did not deny it, but nodded seriously.

These dark soldiers were born for Qiu Tusheng and will die for him. Their loyalty is beyond question.

Therefore, Qiu Tu didn't hide it from them and briefly explained his second ability.

Afterwards, Qiu Tu said to the six people, "Among you agents, a total of 89 failed to awaken and died."

"Including you, I only resurrected 78."

"But that also makes a total of 6 teams."

"I now want you to form a team that merges with the shadows, become the Shadow Guard, stay by my side, and obey my orders at any time to do certain things."

"The other five teams, I will take you to the 'Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart,' to merge with the ancient trees in the forest."

"To become a cataclysmic creature similar to the Treant Guardian."

At this point, Qiu Tu's expression became extremely serious. "I am already a Tier 3 Cataclysm. As long as I refine the regional hub, I will advance to Tier 4."

"And I... have already arranged for outside help."

"At that time, we will join forces to officially wage war against the two evil gods, Whale and Evil Moon, who are occupying the New Territories!"

"At that time... your five teams will be responsible for dealing with the Whale Shark's vassal cataclysm, the Amberjack."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the densely packed dark soldiers knelt on one knee and replied without hesitation, "Yes, sir!"

Seeing this, Qiu Tu nodded in satisfaction.

Reviving these dark soldiers will come at a great cost.

Aside from his recent advancement, refining the regional central core, and the business deal with Tang Feifei, he used all the remaining "Boundless Divine Crystals" to revive these 78 Cataclysmic-level Dark Soldiers!

However, for Qiu Tu, gaining such a group of capable and loyal subordinates was worthwhile.

Because his cataclysmic path doesn't consume many resources, he can use his ample resources to cultivate his own power.

As for the deal with Tang Feifei... it's also related to his future path and becoming the regional lord...

It all started the day before yesterday when Qin Shuman was "forced" away by Tang Feifei, leaving only Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei in the pit.

At that time, Tang Feifei tried her best to persuade Qiu Tu to give up the mission and return to the world with her.

However, Qiu Tu had a different idea.

He asked Tang Feifei three questions.

The first question is: Do you want to become the deputy speaker?

The second question is: Do you want to become the ruler of the region?

The third question is: Do you want to advance to a fourth-tier Cataclysm?

Three questions left Tang Feifei somewhat bewildered. She had no idea what Qiu Tu was up to.
