The night quietly passed, and the dawn broke through the east.
Accompanied by the sounds of the Sky Curtain, three days passed in the blink of an eye!
[GOOD MORNING! Warriors! Welcome to Day Fifteen!]
Ordinary Sequence times always pass so quickly!
[But today! Whether you're busy surviving, busy fighting, or rushing on your way, please stop for a moment!]
[Because in five days, it will be the annual Destruction Five Days in the Barbaric Realm!]
[The entire world will then face an active invasion by the BOSSes! They will indiscriminately slaughter everyone until five days have passed!]
[Of course, you can also choose to invade in reverse! Follow the spatial rifts they've torn open and head towards the Land's End!]
[There, not only are there various devastating natural disasters, but also countless rare treasures!]
[Keep going, warriors! I hope you can live to see that day, or... that you'll live to see it!]

"Nice! Big Boss, Guo Shuai, and Sister Han are dominating the charts again!"
Excited words echoed inside the car.
At this moment, this unremarkable-looking van was speeding through the eastern part of the Rainy Night Valley.
The wheels rolled through the mud, having just passed the desolate Rose Middle School not far away, and were speeding towards the Prayer Deep Pool.
Wang Meng excitedly turned the steering wheel, zigzagging left and right, weaving through the dense forest.
Meanwhile, in the passenger seat, Xin An closed his eyes, carefully sensing the Map Comprehension spreading through his mind.
There were only a few red dots wandering around not far away; those were just ordinary zombies in the Rainy Night Valley, nothing to be afraid of.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Xin An opened her eyes and smiled as she continued Wang Meng's line of conversation.
"Yes, apart from Mr. Dragon God, almost everyone in your team has received a top-grade enhancement drug."
"Their current strength is probably no weaker than our military's Tiger Squad."
"Haha, you're too modest, Uncle Xin An!"
Wang Meng kept drifting and making fancy maneuvers while chuckling to himself.
"Our team's real fighting power, aside from the Big Boss, is only Guo Shuai, Circle Han, and Second Sister-in-law!"
"For pure technical personnel like Liu Yuqing and me, even if we have the skills, combat experience is useless. We can't compare to the veterans in your military who have fought their way through countless battles!"
After hearing this, Xin An couldn't help but glance sideways and laugh, "Haha, no wonder you can be Mr. Dragon God's personal driver."
"If I had your eloquence, I probably would have become the base commander back then."
"Oh, not at all! It's all thanks to the Big Boss who gave me this opportunity! The key is that you yourself have a solid foundation!"
"Hahaha, you little rascal..."
The two drove while exchanging pleasantries, creating an atmosphere so convincing that one might mistake them for Sun Wukong and Laozi having a friendly chat.
It wasn't until an hour later that the two stopped laughing and gradually got down to business.
Because the van had now completely left the Rainy Night Valley and entered an unknown area with an even darker sky.
Outside the window, the downpour intensified.
Wang Meng quickly turned on the windshield wipers, looked at the blurry road ahead, and exclaimed, "Three days! We're almost at the Prayer Deep Pool!"
Xin An nodded and took out the physical map from his pocket to compare it.
"We are now no more than fifty kilometers away from the Prayer Deep Pool."
"However, considering this terrible weather and the muddy roads, it's estimated that it will take another half hour to arrive."
After a pause, Xin An patted the car seat with some doubt. "Speaking of which, I wonder if it's just my imagination."
"This van was clearly upgraded to an S-class vehicle by Mr. Dragon God, so why is it moving at such a low speed..."
"It still feels pretty much the same as a regular vehicle?"
"Hey, that's a good question. I was curious about that before, and then I heard Big Boss mention it."
Wang Meng lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "It seems to be because of the baby the Big Boss brought back from Blue Star."
"A baby? Is it... that baby with the Fool's Supernatural Ability?"
"A bizarre entity capable of wiping out all surrounding supernatural forces?"
Xin An's expression turned serious.
"Yes, that's her!"
Wang Meng nodded. "The day before yesterday, the Big Boss gave her a name, Jiang Li."
"Haha, the Big Boss made a big blunder at first. She seemed so robust, he thought she was a boy, but he only realized it when she was taking a shower the other day..."
"Oh, she didn't bring a penis, but she's a pretty little girl."
Xin An murmured absentmindedly, "Newborn children are indeed easily misunderstood."
"But her abilities... are truly enviable."
"The ability to forcibly format all Supernatural Ability and extraordinary powers within a radius into ordinary people—I wouldn't even dare to imagine such a method."
"Who can argue with that!"
Wang Meng smacked his lips in agreement. "I was also completely shocked when I first found out."
"The Big Boss said that Xiao Jiang Li's ability is our ready-made protective shield, capable of forcibly eliminating almost 100% of any Supernatural Ability attacks."
"But precisely because of this, the scope is so large, it has also had some side effects, Suppression and impacting our van."
"The Big Boss said that when he first brought her in, the spatial portal was almost destabilized by her passive aura."
"In the end, it was the Big Boss who personally escorted him in!"
"Uh-huh..."
Xin An nodded repeatedly, just about to say something in agreement.
But suddenly!
The Map Comprehension in his mind suddenly sounded an alarm!
"Brake!! Brake now!!"
Xin An screamed.
Wang Meng felt a jolt, his body reacting before his brain could process it, and he slammed his right foot on the brake!
Sizzle sizzle!!
The van swerved wildly due to inertia, eventually coming to a stop just short of its intended destination.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Wang Meng's face turned ashen, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he asked urgently.
"Uncle Xin An, what's wrong?! Why did you suddenly stop?!"
Xin An didn't answer immediately, but stared at a towering hill outside the car window.
"Something's wrong... Several unknown blue dots have suddenly appeared out of nowhere in my Complete Map Analysis!"
"They activated some kind of ability to block perception, and it was only just revealed!"
Following Xin An's gaze, Wang Meng rolled down the car window and looked out with surprise and doubt.
In the misty downpour ahead, atop a small hill not far away, several spatial ripples dissipated.
Several figures dressed in foreign military uniforms emerged from the shadows.
They looked down at the dilapidated van, their bloodshot eyes filled with greed.
But what's most striking is what's behind each of their backs...
They were all bound with a weapon that emitted a cold gleam...
Katana!
