A fireball burst in mid-air, causing a violent gust of wind that nearly overturned the bus! The shattered fragments of the missile were propelled by the intense explosion, creating a metallic rain in the sky!

The new recruits inside the bus tightly covered their ears, the close-range explosion almost rupturing their eardrums. As the bus shook violently, the luggage on the roof fell down, causing chaos inside the entire compartment.

At this moment, Lin Qiye suddenly widened his eyes!

In the next moment, an extreme darkness erupted from him, rapidly engulfing the entire bus, then continued to spread, forming a hemisphere around the bus at a rapid speed.

Swish, swish, swish—!!

Countless missile fragments shot out at a speed no less than bullets, embedding themselves in the darkness, freezing in mid-air as they entered the darkest Divine Ruin.

Even though some fragments slipped through, Lin Qiye reduced their speed to the minimum, causing them to embed in the metal armor on the roof like blades, without a single one piercing into the bus.

After all the missile fragments were blocked, Lin Qiye released the darkest Divine Ruin, then knelt on the ground, panting heavily, his back drenched in cold sweat.

No one knew what he had experienced in those brief few seconds.

After the missile exploded in mid-air, the fragments, propelled by the intense force of the explosion, could reach speeds of over 200 meters per second. In other words, from the moment the fragments burst open to piercing the bodies of the new recruits inside the bus, it would take at most two seconds.

In those two seconds, Lin Qiye’s thoughts raced like lightning. First, he realized the inevitable possibility of a fragment attack, then, disregarding everything, he fully opened the darkest Divine Ruin at full speed, leaving him with less than a second.

It took Lin Qiye five seconds to fully cover a radius of ten meters with the Divine Ruin when he first unfolded it. If he hadn’t just advanced to the “Pool” realm half a minute ago, he would have been absolutely unable to make it in time.

Even though he managed to unfold the darkest Divine Ruin just in time for the arrival of the fragments, the speed at which the missile fragments flew was incredibly fast! From entering the Divine Ruin to piercing the bodies of the new recruits, it would take at most 0.25 seconds. In addition, there were a large number of fragments, making it nearly impossible to intercept them all!

Fortunately, Lin Qiye, who had entered the “Pool” realm, had expanded his spiritual perception range to a hundred meters!

Beyond a hundred meters, as the missile fragments came into contact with the edge of Lin Qiye’s spiritual perception, to the moment they touched the bus, in that short 0.5 seconds, Lin Qiye relied on his brain’s terrifying processing speed, combined with his abnormal dynamic vision, to predict their trajectories in advance, thus, capturing them all within the darkest Divine Ruin!

Missile explosion, unfolding the darkest Divine Ruin, predicting the trajectory of each fragment, capturing them all within!

This was Lin Qiye’s experience in those two seconds.

For most people, those two seconds were just a blink of an eye, but for Lin Qiye, it felt as long as a century.

“What’s going on? What just happened?”

“Yeah, I felt a sudden darkness in front of my eyes, and then…”

“The fragments! The missile fragments have all fallen down!”

“What happened? If these fragments had shot out, the metal skin of this bus wouldn’t have been able to stop them!”

“Did we just pass through the gates of hell?”

“…”

The vast majority of people had no idea what had happened, except for three people.

Baili Pangpang, Cao Yuan, and Instructor Hong, who were closest to Lin Qiye!

Just as everyone on the bus was filled with uncertainty, Lin Qiye, who had severely overused his mental energy, turned pale, feeling as if he was seeing stars before everything slowly darkened before his eyes…

“Qiye, Qiye! Lin Qiye!”

Instructor Hong ran to Lin Qiye’s side, anxiously calling out, but Lin Qiye’s consciousness sank, and he fainted.

…

Training Camp.

A faint golden film covered half of the training camp, protecting the lives of all the instructors and logistics personnel inside, and the building was undamaged. However, the other half of the training camp had completely turned into a sea of fire!

Wearing military uniforms, Yuan Gang stood in front of the sea of fire, the faint golden light on his body slowly fading away, his angry eyes reflecting the towering flames in front of him!

His fists clenched tighter and tighter.

“Commander!” an instructor hurriedly ran over from a distance, holding a pair of binoculars, “Two more missiles have landed on the road outside the camp!”

“What?” Yuan Gang turned his head sharply, “How are the new recruits?”

“It seems that a member of Squad 136 shot down one missile, and there was a black figure that flashed by. In the end, all the buses were intact, and no one was injured!”

Yuan Gang breathed a sigh of relief, but then, the anger in his eyes grew stronger and stronger!

“The new recruits had just left the training camp, and missiles were already fired at them…””There’s indeed a traitor among us!!”

Yuan Gang took a forceful step forward, his foot landing heavily amidst the flames, a dazzling burst of golden light erupted, and in the next moment, the fire engulfing half of the Training Camp was extinguished in an instant!

Amidst the broken ruins, Yuan Gang straightened the military cap on his head, his gaze piercing the sky above, profound and unfathomable.

“But I don’t understand… how did they manage to control the missile?”

…

Hundreds of kilometers away from the Training Camp.

Missile Launch Base No. 39.

The piercing alarm echoed throughout the entire base, the red warning lights flickering on and off. This extremely secretive missile launch base had fallen into enemy hands at some unknown time.

“Missile Launch Base No. 39, please respond immediately!”

“This is headquarters, Missile Launch Base No. 39, please report your status immediately!”

“Calling Missile Launch Base No. 39! Calling Missile Launch Base No. 39!”

“Please respond if you hear this!”

“…”

In the vast control room, only the intermittent paging sounds could be heard. Under the flickering lights, there were pools of crimson blood and the broken statues wailing in agony.

At the very center of the control panel, a seductive woman sat casually, holding a blood-stained handleless blade in her hand, tossing it up and catching it, tossing and catching…

She lifted her head, looking at the satellite surveillance screen in front of her, her lips curling into a sinister smile.

“To think they would scatter the recruits from the Training Camp… These people are smarter than I thought.”

“The fools made too much noise in Cangnan, they must have leaked some information, alerting them to something,” another deep male voice came from the phone.

“But it doesn’t matter, this makes things even more interesting…”

She grinned, her crimson, slender tongue stretching out like a serpent, licking her lips.

“If that’s the case, I’ll make a personal trip to Cangnan, to meet that guy.”

She stood up, a sick excitement in her eyes, and casually smashed a hunched-over male statue beside her, the broken flesh falling to the ground with the stone debris, nauseating to behold.

On the vast floor of the control room, a ferocious serpent’s eye was drawn with copious amounts of fresh blood!
