Eight o'clock in the morning.
On the Sports Field ground of the Central Base, a circular mobile fortress was parked.
This is the latest Mobile Shelter developed by the Huaxia Think Tank.
Not only is its armor thick, but it also allows for safe movement in harsh environments.
At this moment, the newly reorganized [Sharp Blade Squad] is sitting at a circular conference table inside the fortress.
In preparation for this mission to the Weird Island, Zhao Yan has temporarily withdrawn from the Huaxia Second Base.
He then bound himself to this mobile fortress, officially becoming the owner of this [sphere] and the leader of the sanctuary.
"Cough cough..."
Zhao Yan held the tablet in his hand and cleared his throat.
His gaze would occasionally drift towards Elder Yue Tian, who sat opposite him.
"Um... Chief, shall I begin my lecture?"
Zhao Yan cursed inwardly.
Which morally bankrupt Think Tank made this decision?
Since they sent a veteran-level Big Boss to the mortal realm, why not just appoint Chief Yue Tian as the captain?!
Now, to have a veteran thug like him give orders to a central elder statesman is even more nerve-wracking than facing a super-level supernatural being!
Not only him, but Xin An and Shadow, who were sitting next to him, were also feeling extremely uncomfortable.
This feeling is just like playing games together as a team, where everyone is chatting and joking around in voice chat.
Suddenly, a respected elder pulled up a chair and sat down in your Internet Cafe's private room!
The sense of oppression is off the charts!
Especially Liu Ruyan, who is usually fearless, is now facing this senior figure who is like Living Yama.
It was as docile as a quail, not even daring to breathe heavily.
The Shadow glanced at her and couldn't help but lower its voice to mock her.
"Weren't you pretty brave when you confronted the Dragon God before?"
"They dared to say things like 'a woman who becomes a god,' so why can't they now?"
"Nonsense!"
Liu Ruyan glared at her and then whispered in her ear with a self-righteous air.
"The Dragon God's background is unclear, and we're not even sure if he's one of our own!"
"What if he's an enemy? What's wrong with me venting my frustrations before he kills me?"
"I can still brag about it in the underworld."
"But Chief Yue is my immediate superior. If I offend him, how will I ever be able to work in the military again?"
"I'd be damned if I didn't pay!"
Shadow's lips twitched. "That makes so much sense, I can't even refute it."
This woman's mechanism for seeking advantage and avoiding harm is truly unique.
Yue Tian took in all the three men's subtle actions.
"Comrades, don't be shy."
"On the battlefield, only military orders matter, not seniority. You'll get used to it as you get to know each other."
The reason I'm not the team leader is simply because I have other secret missions.
"Captain Zhao, please continue."
With the Chief's words, Zhao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to get down to business.
Today's meeting will mainly discuss three important issues.
"First, let's talk about the privilege of returning to Blue Star among the trial rewards."
Zhao Yan swiped open the tablet.
"Currently, portals to Blue Star have been created out of thin air in the core areas of China First Base and Second Base."
"However, because we have traveled across the globe, we have no idea what Blue Star looks like now."
"Just in case, the higher-ups have decided against taking any rash actions."
"We are currently organizing an elite scout team to return to Blue Star to conduct preliminary investigations."
"Teleportation is expected to officially begin the day after tomorrow."
"Does anyone have anything to say?"
Everyone shook their heads.
This decision is very prudent.
After traveling the world, your hometown might be occupied by something else, so cautious exploration is standard procedure.
"Okay, let me start with the second thing."
Zhao Yan's expression suddenly turned serious.
"That is..."
"Regarding the current situation of the Eagle Country Eighth Base, which is the base to which the Black Shark Squad belongs."
"See for yourselves."
He projected his tablet screen onto the Holographic Projection in the center of the fortress.
The moment the screen lit up, everyone's pupils contracted sharply!
The once towering skyscrapers of the Eagle Country Eighth Base have been reduced to a sea of fire!
Everywhere was ruins and rubble, and the surveillance footage was filled with screams and wails!
The Shadow suddenly stood up and pointed at the raging Crimson Black flames on the screen.
"This... isn't this Black Flame?!"
"The Scarecrow has returned and descended upon the Barbaric Realm!"
Xin An closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and prayed silently.
May good people be safe and sound.
Liu Ruyan raised her chin disdainfully and snorted coldly.
"Just a defeated general in a rampage. Once I get those two new S-class equipment, I'll make sure I don't lose to it next time we meet!"
Yue Tian noticed a blind spot and pointed to the top of the screen.
"Look closely, there is no Blood Moon in the sky of the Barbaric Realm."
"In other words, the Watcher Scarecrow dropped from the Sky Curtain only has its main body and a 500-meter radius area."
"However, it was actually able to completely destroy the armed forces of the Eagle Country Eighth Base in such a short period of time."
"Should we say it's amazing?"
"Or should I say... its imitation is just too good to be true?"
Upon hearing this, the four answered in unison, "It goes without saying how formidable it is!"
Recalling the events of the trial, Shadow still felt lingering fear.
"We were all fooled by that fake Tribulation Flame at first."
"They haven't found the right way to deal with it, so they're fighting hesitantly, afraid of getting even a little bit involved."
"As a result, this Scarecrow Snowball and became unplayable in the late game."
Zhao Yan nodded and continued playing the video.
In the image, the Watcher Scarecrow is in a state of frenzied rage.
It is utterly irrational, like a pure killing machine.
Wherever it went, the Eagle Country superhumans who rose up in resistance were easily slaughtered.
It was then quickly transformed into Scarecrow clone!
Everyone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but gasp.
Killing S-class BOSS based solely on instinct is simply an unreasonable disaster!
The video continues.
Soon, the blood-covered Watcher Scarecrow appeared with its massive army of clones.
We arrived at a huge underground refuge warehouse.
The door opened easily.
Inside the warehouse, thousands of unarmed Commoner were revealed, huddled together and trembling.
The Watcher Scarecrow tilted its faceless head, a Black Flame igniting at its fingertips, which it then aimed at the crowd...
Seeing this scene from the scroll of hell, Xin An couldn't bear it and turned her head away.
Shadow clenched his fists tightly.
Even the usually carefree Liu Ruyan couldn't help but grit her teeth and curse, "Beast!"
Only Zhao Yan and Yue Tian remained calm.
As a veteran who crawled out of Corpse Mountain and seas of blood.
This is a scene where ordinary people are slaughtered like dirt in the face of higher, more bizarre beings.
They've seen too much, and they've felt helpless far too many times.
However!
Just when everyone thought a massacre was about to unfold.
The moment the Watcher Scarecrow was about to throw the Black Flame...
Its movement, however, froze in mid-air!
The surveillance footage clearly captured the change in the menacing glint in its eyes!
First, I was puzzled...
Then came anger...
In the end, it all turned into despair!
The entire Sharp Blade Squad, who were observing, were stunned.
"Huh?! What's going on? Is it bugged?"
Xin An's eyes widened.
Just then, a flash of Shadow struck Shadow, and he slammed his hand on the table.
"I remember now!"
"It was dropped from the sky by the Sky Curtain, as the Sky Curtain said."
"The rampaging BOSS will synchronize with the memories from the trials!"
Liu Ruyan suddenly realized, "Indeed, its current reaction wouldn't be..."
The two exchanged a glance and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
In this moment, the Watcher Scarecrow begins to retreat uncontrollably!
He covered his head with both hands and let out a scream!
I remember now!
It remembered everything!
The Watcher Scarecrow never imagined that it would find itself in this vast, Barbaric Realm!
I've become the only monster who knows that man's true identity!
That man...
No! That god!
That man who could skin and bone it with a mere gesture, a man named [Despair]!
It is the supreme Dragon God!!!
Looking at his reflection in the blood on the ground, that face that needed no further explanation.
The Watcher Scarecrow felt its soul about to split open in terror!
What am I doing?!
"How dare I impersonate a god and go around swindling people?!"
No! He'll kill me!
"If he knew I was using his face to bully the weak here!"
He'll definitely kill me!
"I don't want to die! I was finally resurrected in this world, I want to live!"
"What do I do?!"
The Watcher Scarecrow was so distressed that it almost tore its own head off.
Suddenly, a flash of enlightenment seemed to appear on its featureless face!
Since I can't beat the other person...
If I conform to his status, I might even be more law-abiding than him.
Love of peace?!
