Then let them offer their loyalty!

Given his identity as a "divine messenger," Wu Yun immediately believed everything after hearing this.

Therefore, Wu Yun immediately changed his target, directing all the grudges at Yan Chen.

He thought of the Allied Forces members lying in pools of blood, and of the stronghold engulfed in flames; his eyes widened in fury.

He looked at Qiu Tu with bloodshot eyes and asked, "Divine Envoy, you're telling me all this not just to understand the situation, are you?"

Qiu Tu's face behind the silver mask was incredibly somber. He gave a faint "hmm" and then said, "Of course."

"I was also extremely angry after I learned about this."

"Despite being of the same race, the shelter was ruthless and left no room for compromise."

"I feel that this matter cannot be left unresolved."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then said decisively, "So, let's get revenge, Colonel Wu!"

"Let's use a grand banquet to prove to everyone in the New Territories who truly owns the city!"

"Let everyone in the New Territories know the consequences of offending the Alliance and the gods!"

Wu Yun's expression began to become somewhat excited, and even gradually became distorted, due to Qiu Tu's brainwashing.

The advancement of a Cataclysm is to follow their own Cataclysm path; the deeper they go, the greater the influence of that path becomes.

This is also an important reason why the Sanctuary does not use strength as the main criterion for promotion, and why it requires that all high-ranking members not exceed the level of a Tier 3 Cataclysm.

However, such restrictions do not apply to anti-government armed groups like the Allied Front, but are completely absent for believers in evil gods.

For them, everything is up to them. As long as they don't completely lose their minds and become monstrous, they can accept it.

Sometimes, they even believe that the cataclysmic pathways affect them because they are driven by their true inner "desires".

What's wrong with satisfying your own "desires"?

This results in more third- and fourth-order Cataclysms among anti-government forces and cult followers than in the shelters.

Of course... they are also more prone to losing control...

Wu Yun is a cataclysmic individual with the "destruction-slaughter" pathway; for him, killing is simply something that goes along with his will.

So when he learned that Qiu Tu was planning to give him a big opportunity, his desires, influenced by the catastrophic pathways, grew ever stronger...

.....

In late autumn, each autumn rain brings a chill.

The New Territories have experienced a lot of rain recently, which has caused temperatures to drop continuously.

According to the forecast of the City Hall's Home Affairs Department, after another week, when winter officially begins, the temperature in the New Territories will remain below 5 degrees Celsius.

When the harsh winter arrives, the lowest temperature in the New Territories this year is likely to drop below -10 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, keeping warm and protecting against the cold has become the top priority in the New Territories.

This has become the most severe test for the New Territories City Council in the coming months.

After all, this is the second year since the establishment of the New Territories City. This year, many disaster victims from the affected areas have brought their families to the New Territories City.

The population of the New Territories City expanded rapidly during this year, but the pressure on resources also increased accordingly.

Therefore, Committee Member Jiang, the first member of the Municipal Council, convened a meeting of the Municipal Council members today to arrange and deploy various tasks for this winter.

Yan Chen, the director of the Investigation Bureau, Colonel Lin Chuan, the head of the military, and Yu Die, the director of the Security Department, are all members of the City Hall, so they will attend this meeting.

The meeting will begin at 9:00 AM.

At 8:30 a.m., Yan Chen's black convoy slowly drove away from his villa and headed towards the city hall building.

Because there were very few cars on the road, no one cleared the area or asked vehicles to give way in advance.

However, agents from the Special Operations Department and the Political Department were already stationed along the route to carry out security work.

However, perhaps because Yan Chen's car hadn't had any accidents in the past year, the detectives weren't paying close enough attention...

For example, there was a small two-story teahouse on the only road leading from Yan Chen's villa to the city hall. They didn't investigate it in detail.

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the teahouse, there was a private room that faced the road directly.

Colonel Wu Yun and four or five members of the Joint Special Forces were adjusting heavy weapons while observing the situation below.

Their purpose in coming to the New Territories was to seize control of the New Territories area, so they were equipped with very sophisticated heavy weapons.

There were light man-portable mortars from the Third Shelter, shoulder-fired light howitzers, and P12 rapid-fire machine guns...

With this equipment, let alone a Tier 3 Cataclysm, even a raid on the Investigation Department might be successful...

Chapter 324 Assault on Yan Chen! (10,000 words, please vote!)

It was only after learning about the firepower of this joint special operations team from Wu Yun that Qiu Tu dared to make today's plans.

According to his estimation, even if Yan Chen had many trump cards, even if he was a Cataclysm with the "Life" pathway, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed from an attack by 20 Cataclysms and such overwhelming firepower.

And at this moment....

While he was adjusting the weapons, several of Wu Yun's confidants were chatting casually nearby.

One of the boys, a cigarette dangling from his lips, with dyed yellow hair and a somewhat nonchalant air, said while wiping a mortar shell in his hand, "Colonel, why do we have to attack Yan Chen here?"

"It's so early, the brothers are still a bit sleepy."

Wu Yun was a burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist.

He had a long, centipede-like scar on his cheek. The scar started from his left eye, crossed the bridge of his nose, and extended to the edge of his right cheek, making it look particularly gruesome.

Hearing the blond-haired boy's words, Wu Yun muttered, "Sleep, sleep, sleep! All the fuck do is sleep!"

"Your house's been ransacked, and you still have the leisure to sleep! Why don't you just sleep yourselves to death!"

Although the Allied Forces, as an anti-government armed group, also had its own organization, it was clearly more rugged and unrestrained.

Cursing, insults, and beatings are commonplace between superiors and subordinates.

So the blond-haired boy didn't pay any attention.

He began, "Colonel, this is just casual conversation. I'm just curious why we didn't attack at night. It would be more covert and safer that way."

Upon hearing the blond-haired boy's words, Wu Yun couldn't help but recall the divine messenger's answer to the same question he had asked him last night.

The reason given by the divine messenger was simple yet very convincing.

That is... Yan Chengui, as the head of a department, is extremely sensitive and cautious.

He just raided the stronghold of the Alliance yesterday. Given the current chaos in the New Territories, he may adjust his schedule for safety reasons.

Therefore, his plans for the next few days are likely to be completely disrupted, and it is impossible to predict or arrange them.

But there was only this meeting this morning.

This meeting was chaired by Jiang Zhenpeng, the highest-ranking official in the New Territories City Council.

Those present were all members of the New Territories City government with the highest political standing.

Therefore, Yan Chen cannot change his attendance at this meeting.

This reason convinced Wu Yun, and it also made him wake up the team members early in the morning to go to the teahouse to make arrangements.

However, these matters, especially his contact with the divine messenger, were his secrets. He couldn't possibly tell his subordinates.

So he raised his large, fan-like hand and slapped the blond-haired guy across the face, saying, "Ask, ask, ask! You're the one who asks so many questions! Look at the others, they all have questions!"

Besides Wu Yun, there were four other people present, namely the four second-tier Cataclysmics.

Besides the blond-haired man, there was also a young man with a tattoo on his neck and an earring in his left ear.

A girl wearing round, black-rimmed glasses is quietly petting a black cat.

A small old man who looked to be in his fifties, somewhat mercenary, with a fawning smile on his face, but whose big yellow teeth were revealed when he smiled.

The three of them were each doing their own thing, and none of them showed the same curiosity as Huang Mao.

The blond-haired man, wearing simple clothes, pouted, then covered his head and angrily continued wiping his mortar shells...

For a moment, the room fell silent.

After a moment, the bespectacled girl who was petting the black cat got up and said softly, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Wu Yun hadn't spoken yet.

The blond-haired man glanced at her sideways and said, "Xiao Rou, why have you been going to the bathroom so often these past few days?"

Upon hearing this, the girl with glasses glared at him, wanting to retort.

Before she could even speak, the old man with yellow teeth grinned wickedly, "What do you know? Xiao Rou's been on her period these past few days..."

Upon hearing this, the blond-haired man glanced at the yellow-toothed old man again and asked, "How did you know?"

The old man leered and sniffed at Xiaorou, saying, "My nose is very sensitive."

"I know exactly when she ovulates and when she gets her period..."

Upon hearing the old man's words, the men in the room, including Wu Yun, burst into laughter. Xiao Rou glared at them angrily, then slammed the door and left.

This made the four men laugh even harder...

......

at the same time.

Just as the allied forces were on high alert, preparing to ambush and kill Yan Chen.

In a private residence about 500 meters away from this teahouse.

Qiu Tu, whose body was still wrapped in bandages, was sitting opposite Qin Shuman.

Both of them activated their spiritual vision and then surveyed the area.

In their vision, the walls became dotted lines, while the people... became clusters of flames.

Because the Cataclysmic Ones don't activate their abilities, they're just like ordinary people. So, in their field of vision, they could only see more than 20 clusters of flames distributed around the teahouse, but they couldn't distinguish them.

After observing for a while, Qin Shuman deactivated her spiritual vision, gently rubbing her temples as she asked, "Are you sure... the Joint Special Forces are there?"

Upon hearing Qin Shuman's words, Qiu Tu slowly withdrew from his spiritual vision state.

He never spoke definitively, so even when facing Qin Shuman, he tried his best to restrain himself and said, "I can only guarantee that the information I have is as described."

Just as he was saying this, his phone suddenly rang.

Qiu Tu picked up the communicator and glanced at it, discovering that it was Guan Xiao, the head of the intelligence section, calling.

Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then answered the call anyway.

As soon as the phone was answered, Guan Xiao's slightly flirtatious voice came through the receiver, "Sir~~ I have important intelligence to report to you!"

Upon hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu's heart stirred slightly, and he roughly guessed Guan Xiao's purpose.

He said calmly, "Speak."

Guan Xiao said with a grin, "Sir, the spy I arranged just got the intelligence."

"The Joint Special Forces have been assembled since this morning and are now lying in wait in a teahouse."

"The objective is to prepare an ambush for Director Yan."

"Look..."

From Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu knew that Guan Xiao was a woman he could use.

After all, Guan Xiao didn't seem worried about Yan Chen or anxious about the matter at all.

On the contrary, she even felt a little schadenfreude because she had included herself in Qiu Tu's team.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu first praised Guan Xiao, "Section Chief Guan's spy planting is indeed very skillful."

"How did they manage to obtain such confidential information?"

After saying that, Qiu Tu changed the subject, "However, there's no need to report this to Director Yan."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao, believing she understood his meaning, replied, "Okay, I understand, sir."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu interrupted her with a smile, "No. You don't understand."
