The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

After contacting Zhou Shan, Wang Xuejun immediately dialed the phone number of the liaison officer at the Ministry of War.

Amidst the current chaos, cooperation between the Ministry of War and its affiliated agencies is becoming increasingly close, involving not only mutual support in terms of manpower but also mutual exchange in terms of technology. As the leader of the agency's technical group, Wang Xuejun maintains close ties with them.

Every phone call went very smoothly; it seemed like the other party was waiting by the phone 24/7 for a call.

But this time, the situation seems to be somewhat unusual.

The call was made twice, and not only did it not go through, but it was also hung up on the third time.

Wang Xuejun looked at the notification that the communication channel had been cut off, his face filled with astonishment.

"how?"

He immediately contacted Zhou Shan and briefly described how he had made the contact.

"You said... the Ministry of War didn't answer the phone?"

Zhou Shan's tone was also quite heavy. He pondered for a moment, then said:
"It seems... this situation is quite unusual."

Wang Xuejun was completely bewildered: "You... know what's going on?"

Zhou Shan said, "The problem must be with the Diviner Alliance."

Wang Xuejun was astonished: "The Diviner Alliance?"

"So fast?"

"No... what is the relationship between the Ministry of War and the Diviner's Alliance?"

"You mean I can't contact the Ministry of War because the Diviner Alliance is interfering?"

Zhou Shan nodded: "That's most likely the case."

"They have a history of over a thousand years and possess enormous power in the secular world. We should have expected them to intervene in this area."

"Even if someone from the Ministry of War comes to provide support, the scale of that support will be very limited."

"This time, we'll most likely have to fight alone..."

"Prepare manpower to go to Kunlun, and transfer manpower from various places to the maximum extent possible."

"I contacted Yu Kaido and Hayashi Enko."

Wang Xuejun was taken aback: "Lin Yuanhu? This is what he's planning..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Zhou Shan certainly understood what he wanted to say.

Zhou Shan gave a solemn "hmm": "Such a big commotion, and only 72 hours since our last encounter, it's clear that the Diviner Alliance is going to wage war against us."

"I just tried to contact the teams that are on a mission inside the Kunlun Mountains, but none of them responded. It seems that the Diviner Alliance has already started their operation."

"As you know, the gap in strength between us and the Diviner Alliance is enormous. If we don't fight with all our might, we'll likely suffer a crushing defeat."

Wang Xuejun took a deep breath: "Understood, I'll go and talk to Old Song about this."

When do you plan to leave?

This time, Zhou Shan didn't hesitate: "The sooner the better."

"All personnel on standby in various agencies, temporarily set aside your current missions, and all field staff and monitoring team members, proceed to the Kunlun Mountains! Inform everyone, this is a total war!"

"Yes!"

After losing contact, Zhou Shan immediately contacted Yu Haidao and Lin Yuanhu, the two team leaders. Yu Haidao was at the Sanxingdui archaeological site, which was as deep as an abyss, and after receiving the notification, he immediately got up and prepared to head to Kunlun.

Lin Yuanhu also stood up, took one last look at the waves he was tired of seeing, and walked towards his shuttle. The shuttle immediately took off, spewing out a tail flame, and headed straight for the northwest, leaving the island he had guarded for several months in the blink of an eye.

Personnel from various agencies quickly sprang into action, including field team members who were already conducting investigations and combat operations in the areas where the anomalies were occurring, and new recruits who had just graduated from training courses.

Qingdao Municipality.

After Jiang Chuan and his group of first-term trainees graduated, the organization was no longer as lively as before. The inspection team was as busy as ever, especially after Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang left and the top students were transferred to Kunlun, their responsibilities became even heavier.

Yue Wen waved the document in his hand: "Team Leader Chen! We've received a transfer order from headquarters!"

"Let's head to the Kunlun front-line base immediately!"

Chen Xingyang flicked the ash from his cigarette and brought the half-burnt cigarette to his lips: "Immediately?"

Yue Wen placed the documents in front of Chen Xingyang: "Yes, let's set off immediately..."

"The orders say the mission is extremely dangerous; kill any enemy you encounter immediately!"

Chen Xingyang exhaled a puff of smoke, his gaze extremely serious:

"enemy……"

How do we identify the enemy?

Just as Chen Xingyang was speaking, Xu Chenggong and Wang Zhi, the heads of the Qing City agency, also strode into the supervisory team's office.

Xu Chenggong asked, "Has the inspection team's fax arrived?"

Wang Zhi put down the document in his hand and said in a very fast voice, "The technical team has sent a new document. The identity recognition system is fully ready. The lists of institutions in various regions have been entered into the recognition system. Secretary Wu is downloading the tools. She is going to Kunlun with you. She should be able to prepare everything before landing."

As Chen Xingyang looked at the documents Wang Zhi had just brought, he noticed some details that made his already bad mood even worse.

"The enemy comes from the Diviner Alliance, and there is a high probability that the organization has been infiltrated. Please remain vigilant when engaging the enemy. If you encounter hostile attacks from our personnel, please flee immediately and warn other members of our organization..."

He read the line aloud, his expression gloomy.

The others in the office also became serious, their faces grim.

If you're constantly at risk of being stabbed in the back by your comrades, how can you fight a war while also having to be wary of your own comrades?
Yue Wen frowned and asked, "The Diviner Alliance... I've never heard of this organization before?"

"A variant of the White Lotus Sect?"

Chen Xingyang shook his head: "This is much more serious than the White Lotus Sect problem."

He stood up and continued, "Let's not talk about that anymore, let's get going."

"There's no time to lose..."

"It will take us at least seven or eight hours to get to Kunlun. I don't know what the people in Kunlun are going to do now."

"..."

"Li Yu...they're in Kunlun, aren't they?"

Yue Wen nodded.

Then the group fell silent, their faces grave.

Because of Jiang Chuan's connection, Li Yu had visited the Qing City organization several times before, so they were practically acquaintances. Now, when they thought of Kunlun, the name Li Yu naturally came to mind—a formidable figure… Generally, they wouldn't concern themselves with the safety of such a powerful expert. However, such trust depends on the situation. In such an urgent and tense situation, even an expert like Li Yu… seemed to have become nothing more than cannon fodder in their minds.

If even such experts are cannon fodder, then what about these insignificant characters?

Chen Xingyang broke the silence.

"Let's not talk about this anymore..."

"These cases that the inspection team has on hand will be handed over to you two for now."

"We're leaving now."

Xu Chenggong nodded; there was no other way at this point.

Speed ​​is of the essence in war, and time is of the essence. Chen Xingyang, who was well aware of this principle, understood even more how urgent the situation was. He hurriedly led the experts from the Qing City Inspection Team and some of the first-term trainees who were still staying at the agency on their journey to Kunlun.

This same scene that occurred at the Qingdao branch also happened in hundreds of branches of all sizes across the country.

Not only the internal supervisory team, but even the partners of the organizations in various places, such as the martial arts master named Du Shengjie who ran a martial arts school before Wu Zhen joined the organization, received a mobilization notice.

However... because the conscription notice clearly stated the dangers, many collaborators refused the conscription. But even so, there were still quite a few people who, after seeing the conscription notice, ignored the risks and resolutely embarked on the journey to Kunlun.

Civil aircraft, trains, cars...

In an instant, masters from all over the country were heading towards Kunlun, like streams converging into a river. Now that they were all gathered in one place, they had become a mighty river!
This unprecedented war, the grandest clash between awakened beings in human society to date, is about to begin!

……

Three hours had passed since the anomaly at Kunlun was noticed.

Even the slowest outlying organizations have already embarked on their journey to Kunlun.

Currently, the Kunlun Command Center is already overcrowded.

Those who have just arrived, and those who have already arrived, are waiting for the organization's specific arrangements.

"Why don't we go in? We're already here, what are we waiting for?"

"Who knows which organization you're from?"

"I'm Jiang Liu, what about you?"

"We just came from the Wawu Mountain area of ​​Shu... Isn't Jiangliu in the south? You arrived quite quickly."

"No rush. We were just on a mission next door, and we were transferred here before we finished... By the way, what exactly is the Diviner Alliance? I heard from our team leader that it's related to the Yanjing incident?"

"I don't know the specifics either, maybe... it's just that we finally made it here, so why are we just waiting around?"

At this point, another member of the group joined the conversation:

"They say it's related to a barrier. Now, the entire Kunlun Mountains are covered by a barrier—a new type of mental force field. The headquarters' technical team's equipment is being airdropped to detect weak points, and we small fry have to wait for the commander to arrive..."

"Mr. Zhou!? Mr. Zhou is coming?"

"Not just Mr. Zhou, but all four top-ranked players are gathered here!"

The sound caused a gasp of surprise within a small area.

……

Kunlun Command Center, Central Command Building.

The head of the organization at the Kunlun Center was currently venting his anger on a military officer:
"Still can't get in touch?! This level of unreliability is unprecedented!"

The military officer was usually an arrogant and capable man with a high rank, but when faced with the reprimand from the head of the organization, he remained silent with a grim expression. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and dialed the liaison officer of the Ministry of War again.

Several soldiers were just dispatched to the nearest military district, but they never returned and there has been no news of them. The problem with the communication line has been checked again and again, and in the end, the only conclusion is that the reason for the inability to make contact is that the other end of the communication is unwilling to make contact, even if it is someone from the military headquarters.

The head of the Kunlun organization paced back and forth in his office, speaking in a low, rapid voice as if talking to himself: "This problem is so serious that if the Diviner Alliance's plan succeeds, all our efforts may be in vain!"

"What kind of apocalypse are we supposed to avoid? We might as well all just wait to die!"

"There's still a chance to salvage the situation, what are those conservatives thinking?! Aren't there more radicals in the Ministry of War?"

"We don't even know what's happening inside the Kunlun Mountains, this is really..."

"That's fucking humiliating!"

He pointed to the wall, and then to the growing crowd that was gathering in the distance:

"Are we sending our brothers who came to Kunlun to their deaths?!"

"Can't you even get the most basic information?!"

The military commander nodded without speaking and tried again to make contact with the nearest military district.

However, seeing his anxious colleague, the military officer knew that this usually mild-mannered person was genuinely worried. So, he had something to say, but remained silent.

Although it was difficult to say, he realized that it was impossible for him to contact them; they were deliberately avoiding all contact with the organization. It seemed they were watching the two sides fight...

Either there's someone in a higher position within the Diviner Alliance, or that person in a higher position wants to use this victory or defeat to determine the ultimate fate of humanity.

Or perhaps... it's a combination of both?
Should we fight to the very end?
Or should we prepare to coexist with the apocalypse?

……

After making some preliminary arrangements, Zhou Shan also prepared to head towards Kunlun.

I have to leave Yanjing again...

Having already revealed all his cards, Zhou Shan felt that this trip was extremely risky.

He didn't light the Seven Star Lamp beforehand, yet he extended his life twice in three days? Even he thought this was outrageous.

Zhou Shan looked out the window and sighed.

What kind of choice is guaranteed to win?

What war is there without bloodshed?
This time, I might not come back.

Ding!
At that moment, the person he was waiting for arrived.

The people who came were Wang Xuejun and Xu Shan.

Song Chen had already led the remaining combat personnel from headquarters to Kunlun. The reason he hadn't set off yet was not only to make arrangements for the situation in various places, but also to wait for these two.

He looked at Wang Xuejun and said:

"While I'm away, you'll be in charge of all affairs at headquarters and the organization. If I don't return, then headquarters will be yours."

Wang Xuejun's pupils contracted slightly: "Me?"

He appeared extremely surprised.

Zhou Shan didn't explain, but immediately looked at Xu Shan: "You know the technical team better than anyone else, and your technical skills are obvious to all. Whether I come back or not, this technical team will be in your hands."

"I called you over because there are some things that are inconvenient to say over the phone."

"Jiangchuan..."

"Lock him up in the underground base."

"No matter what, don't let him leave, and don't let him know about Kunlun."

"Only three days have passed, I don't think he can guess what happened."

"..."

"All right."

"Then I'll set off. I'll leave the task of providing support from the center to you two."

He paused for a moment before saying the last sentence:
"When it's time to make a decision, don't hesitate."

He said that last sentence while looking at Wang Xuejun.

But it also seems like he's talking to himself. (End of Chapter)
