Summary: Chapter "Intelligence on the Sixth Day"

Key Plot Points

• Day 6, 5:55 a.m. at Huaxia Country China Second Base. Commanders Wan Changzheng and Zhao Yan are eating stale, rock-hard steamed buns because the base has severely depleted its food reserves (used funds for the [Map Expansion Hard Drive] at the trading convention, plus feeding refugees).
• Wan Changzheng reports that the Desolate God Society withdrew from the [Polar Icefield], allowing the God of War's main force to secure the [Dragon God Ruins], eliminating the northern threat.
• Zhao Yan reviews two intelligence files on the Desolate God Society:
  • Marionette Vespera ("Tailor") — deceased Tenth Seat. Killed in the "Destruction Five Days" campaign by China, Su Country, and Eagle Country. Her ability (Sequence 031: Tailor) let her stitch living creatures into obedient puppets. She single-handedly destroyed China Fifth Base and massacred ~10,000 people.
  • Tiffany Anjie ("Gambler") — living Seventh Seat. Ability (Sequence 067: Royal Authority) imposes absolute self-beneficial rules over an area. She ambushed the elite "Iron Wall" squad a year ago, killing the vice-captain and severely injuring all members — a deep personal wound to both commanders.
• The Sky Curtain's 6:00 a.m. broadcast teases "earth-shattering news," then seems to pause. Shen Lian bursts in and directs the commanders to the [Novice Rankings].
