Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 129: An Interlude from the North

The names of the four major teams were quickly registered within the Privy Council and decided upon.

The Yanyu Squadron of the Zhendong Army was renamed the "Zhenhai Squadron".

It can be interpreted as the Zhendong Army sweeping across the world, and it can also be traced back to the Zhenhai Army in the Tang Dynasty that ruled the seven states east of the Yangtze River. It is both modern and ancient, so this name passed the review smoothly.

Liu Longtao's team of the Dingbei Army was renamed the "Longxiong Team".

"Xiang" means a horse prancing with its head held high, conveying a sense of majesty and strength. "Longxiong" can also be interpreted as "dragon soaring". As for who this "dragon" refers to, there is no need to explain it in detail. Those who understand will understand.

Zhou Hongyu's team of the Pingxi Army was renamed "Fire Phoenix Team".

This name is a bit more common, but it's also quite fitting if you think about it carefully. Red Feather and Fire Phoenix signify Captain Zhou's absolute dominance within the team; even his name exudes a burning intensity.

Li Zhaojiang's Annan Army Team was renamed the "Qing'an Team".

This name was chosen by Li Minghu, meaning "cleansing the four seas and stabilizing the world." It also echoes the name of the Annan Army. Although it lacks the connotation of being aggressive, it is ultimately positive.

In addition, the list of captains and vice-captains of the second batch of teams has also been submitted.

The second team of the Zhendong Army is led by Qiu Ze and the deputy captain is Sun Ziyi. After their superiors approve the establishment of the team, they will recruit members on their own.

The increase in the number of battle teams is intended to respond to the ever-changing domestic defense situation, and will of course increase the intensity of internal competition.

Although based on the experience of the previous life, the overall strength of the second team is indeed inferior to that of the first team, it should not be underestimated for the sake of safety. Therefore, Yan Yu decided to give the girls extra training with tears and pain for the sake of long-term and future considerations.

"If you want extra practice, just say so!" Lin Ning complained again, "No need to make such a long list of excuses!"

"Stupid!" Yan Yu scolded her mercilessly, "I increased the intensity for you without any reason. Aren't you cursing me to death in your hearts? Isn't it just to make you understand the captain's good intentions?"

So where do you get the confidence that we are not cursing you behind your back?

In fact, in addition to the team group where all five people are present, there is also the "Down with the Captain Group" excluding Yan Yu, the "Girlfriends Night Chat Group" excluding Chen Lingyun, and the "What to Eat Today Group" excluding Zhao Yuanzhen... Among them, the "Down with the Captain Group" is the one that curses the most, and the cursing methods are also different.

Zhao Yuanzhen was very direct in his attacks, for example, “Yan Yu, I’m going to kill you, you big idiot.”

Chen Lingyun was sarcastic and said strange things like, "As the captain, you can do whatever you want. Why don't you accept it?"

Lin Ning's complaints and rants were very common, "Does the captain have hyperthyroidism?", "Is he sick? Why does he always stare at me and attack me?", "I really want to kick him against the wall", etc. Her aggressiveness really needs to be improved compared to the first two.

Su Yunjin usually doesn't talk, and when he does say a few words, it's just a hesitant agreement, "That's right," "Yes, that's right," but in terms of his position, he definitely stands on the girls' side.

Of course Yan Yu couldn't be completely unaware of this, but so what?

As a strong person, you must humiliate the weak!

Even the stepping stones on the roadside that people use as stepping stones will squeak when you step on them. It's really too much if you bully people and don't let them complain.

I, Yan Yu, am not a narrow-minded person. As long as you can complete the training tasks with quality and quantity, I allow you to criticize me appropriately!

This is the kindness and generosity of a captain! Be grateful to me!
After the training, the girls gathered together to rest as usual, each of them lowered their heads and played with their phones in silence.

[My aunt’s surname is Zhao]: That little thief just received a phone call and suddenly left in a hurry. What happened?

[Yun Jin]: I don’t know, but Lingyun didn’t say anything, so it’s probably not a business matter.

Chen Lingyun: It's probably his personal matter, right? Now that you mention it, I'm actually a little interested in knowing more.

[Ningning]: Lingyun, please don’t do anything illegal!

[Chen Lingyun]: What is considered illegal?

[Ningning]: For example, finding someone to hack into his account and export his chat history is an illegal act that violates other people's privacy.

[Chen Lingyun]: I see. Then if we directly contact the operator and ask them to voluntarily provide the chat records of Yanyu’s account, then it wouldn’t be considered illegal, right?

[Ning Ning]: Even if it's not a violation, it's become even more terrifying!
Regardless of the girls’ chat, Yan Yu hurriedly left the training ground and picked up the phone again.

"What's wrong, Anna?" he asked in a low voice.

There was no answer, only heavy, shuddering breathing coming from the other side.

"Take it easy. International long-distance calls are very expensive." Yan Yu said earnestly, "It's better to chat privately..." "Yan Yu." The other party said in a daze, "I killed someone."

"Oh." Yan Yu's tone became slightly serious. "How many did you kill?"

"Is this a question of how many people I killed?" Anna couldn't help but roar, "It's human lives! I have human lives on my hands! I'm a murderer now!"

"Okay, okay, I get it. Don't get excited." Yan Yu held the receiver a little further away from his ear. "Then you didn't vomit on the spot, did you?"

"I'm not vomiting." Anna was silent for a moment, "I just feel a little nauseous."

"It's normal." Yan Yu patiently comforted her, "I understand how you feel. If it really doesn't work, just go have a drink and get some sleep."

"...Yan Yu, have you ever killed anyone?"

"Why are you asking such a question?"

"Nothing, just pretend I didn't ask." Anna was silent for a moment again, and then began to talk about the situation on her side.

After the unrest broke out in the city, she and her father had been living in an apartment, relying on stored food and water, and had no idea what was happening outside.

Later, the Luosha officials finally reacted and mobilized the army to officially enter the city. The chaos was suppressed. Then the soldiers knocked on doors from house to house to confirm and register the residents.

As the citizens watched the tanks rumble past outside the window, they gradually mustered up the courage to go out to the streets to buy the various supplies they needed for life. Anna was no exception.

Then, something unexpected happened.

The Russian military obviously did not fully understand who started the rebellion in Amur City, how it was organized, and how it finally broke out. Due to political factors, they forcibly entered the city to quell the rebellion.

This is also a typical feature of the era of spiritual revival: the previous rulers controlled complete technology, intelligence and information, and it was almost impossible for the grassroots to overthrow the superiors; but with the revival of spiritual energy, all kinds of unheard-of extraordinary powers have emerged one after another like mushrooms after rain, and it is no longer possible for the upper levels to maintain absolute information advantage.

After the military entered the city, some mysterious object of a supernatural nature quickly spread among the soldiers entering the city through some unknown means of communication.

After they returned to the camp outside the city, they brought these unknown objects back to the army.

By the time a large number of werewolves appeared in the camp, it was too late for the commanders to organize a clear-out. These werewolves were incredibly resilient, able to withstand bullets and run with incredible speed. Human soldiers had to rely on pre-built defensive lines, large-caliber machine guns, and long-range bombardments to suppress them. Once the werewolves tore through the lines and each fought on its own, defeat was imminent.

The previous successful encirclement and suppression of the city was just a conspiracy of the extraordinary person behind the scenes. The enemy initially wanted to capture not only Amur City, but also the army that would enter the city to suppress the rebellion.

After a whole night of chaotic fighting outside the city, a large number of troops were lost and the organization fell apart. Some deserters returned to the city and brought this bad news to the citizens.

Then even greater chaos spread throughout the city again.

On the way back from shopping, Anna killed several strangers who tried to attack them and rob supplies in order to protect her father's safety - and then she made this call to Yan Yu.

"So where are you and your father now?" Yan Yu asked.

"We hid under the bridge," Anna said in a low voice. "My father was terrified. I lied to him and told him I was asking my aunt for help."

"No need to lie." Yan Yu said, "Call your aunt and ask if she can help."

"Aunt..." Anna said bewilderedly, "Can she help? I don't want to put her in danger."

"How will you know if you don't ask?" Yan Yu said in a deep voice.

He actually didn't remember when Anna's aunt became a vampire extraordinary.

But looking back at the growth process of the Eclipse Queen in her previous life, the first and most important node was the help and guidance from her aunt... Otherwise, she would have died in the sewers of Amur City like her father.

"Okay." After hearing Yan Yu say this, Anna seemed to have regained her backbone, and her tone quickly became firm, "I'll call her right away."

"Yeah." Yan Yu was silent for a moment, "There's one more thing."

"what's up?"

"Try to survive, Anna..." Yan Yu's voice paused for a moment.

"Even if you have to kill someone, remember this."

"Your life is more important than theirs."
