I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"I didn't expect it to be so well hidden..." The special forces commander barely avoided the first collision and asked in shock, "Who is the real traitor?"

The courier sneered, "Those who truly stand for justice never fight alone. And those who betray their faith will eventually suffer the consequences!"

Before he finished speaking, he charged forward again, and the two sides fell into a melee again...

The helicopter in the distance took off again, leaving behind a cold message: "We will meet again, Qin Yifei."

As the echo of these words lingers, all the survivors understand: the crisis is not over yet.

Standing among the ruins, Zhao Li dusted herself off and asked, "Boss Qin, what should we do next? Are we going to exhaust all our strength just like that?"

Qin Yifei raised his head, looked at the gradually dispersing smoke and the first rays of sunlight shining through the dark clouds, and slowly uttered four words:

"Rebirth of the Jedi."

Then the phone suddenly rang throughout the room. Qin Yifei took out his phone, and the screen displayed an unknown number. After the call was connected, a hoarse but calm voice came:

"Congratulations on your survival, but from now on, the rules of the game have just been revealed." ---

"The rules of the game?" Qin Yifei frowned, a hint of vigilance in his tone. "Who are you?"

The person on the other end of the phone sneered, as if dismissing Qin Yifei's question: "Me? Just an outsider. But you must understand now that this is not just a simple battle of life and death, but a matter of a much larger scale."

The chatter among the passersby gradually grew louder. The young man in the baseball cap couldn't help but mutter, "Damn, they're still playing tricks on me at this hour! What the hell is going on?"

The man pushing his glasses tugged at his sleeve, his eyes filled with excitement and confusion: "Could it be those same people behind this again? They don't sound like good people!"

At this time, the decoration engineer had already put down his toolbox, rushed forward two steps and shouted, "Hey, protagonist brother, be careful when answering dangerous calls like this! What if it's fake news and it goes around in circles again?"

The mother holding the baby gently comforted her child. When she turned to look at Qin Yifei, she said with a firm gaze, "No matter who the other party is, we are still standing here to support you. As long as you hold on, there will always be a way to solve it."

Although the situation was unclear and there might even be a deeper conspiracy, Qin Yifei's expression relaxed slightly under the encouragement of these passers-by. He nodded, waved to everyone in gratitude, and then continued to communicate with the person on the other end of the phone.

"So, what do you want to tell us? Tell us." Qin Yifei tried his best to keep his tone calm, trying to find out the real purpose of this "outsider".

The hoarse voice snorted coldly, then said in a low voice, "First of all, congratulations to your team for passing the first round of testing. From the on-site monitoring, I am impressed by the support actions of ordinary people - the power of human unity is truly astonishing. However, what follows will not be so simple."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Zhou quickly came over and asked, looking at Qin Yifei's mobile phone screen with suspicion.

At the same time, the crowd started to explode:

"Oh my god, 'pass the test'? Are they really treating us like guinea pigs?!" A little girl with ponytails glared angrily and roared, "What the hell are these people trying to do? Catch them and torture them!"

The courier, standing at the edge of the crowd, heard this and immediately rolled his eyes and muttered, "Troublesome! Lack of education is truly terrifying... If we just start shooting without even knowing who's behind the scenes, we'll be wiped out in less than half an hour."

Hearing his complaint, the vendor carrying a metal bar nearby grinned and echoed, "Brother, you're right. First figure out where the enemy is before you do anything else. After all, before you throw a punch, it's best to make sure the direction is right!"

As the crowd debated fiercely, Qin Yifei keenly sensed that the situation was far more complicated than he'd imagined. He held his breath and pressed on, "What do you mean by 'not simple'? If you're directing some action, just say so. Otherwise, I can completely ignore you and strike back!"

There was a pause on the line for a few seconds, as if the other party had weighed the pros and cons before slowly speaking, "Very good, you have guts. Then I can tell you: your objective tonight will change. You originally thought your mission was simply to eliminate the enemy's command center; but the truth is, there's a key figure lurking in the shadows who holds key resources. Only by finding her/him can we completely break free from the constraints of the control chain."

Qin Yifei's expression suddenly changed. He gripped his phone tightly and asked in a low voice, "Who is that person? Where is he?"

The hoarse voice did not give a direct answer, but only left a meaningful sentence: "Wait a moment, all the mysteries will be revealed soon."

Then, the phone was abruptly hung up.

The air grew unusually quiet, and everyone could sense the growing oppression. A young man in a baseball cap standing by the roadside muttered to himself, "What kind of operation is this... First it was the helicopter trap, and now there's a new clue? Is there a third wave of fighting?"

Before he could finish his words, a sudden rumbling sound was heard in the distance. Following the sound, thick smoke and dust rose from a street away. A truck, seemingly out of control, crashed into a building, causing a violent explosion!

There was a commotion among the crowd:

"Help! Run!" Several timid women dragged their children and ran desperately away from the scene of the incident.

But some chose to swim upstream. A young man passing by on a motorcycle decisively sped over to observe the situation, waving and shouting to the others, "Don't move! This might be a feint! Everyone, stay put and defend. Don't let your formation get scattered and annihilated!"

Qin Yifei immediately organized his team to stabilize the defense line and dispatched a small team to investigate the situation. At this juncture, Zhao Li once again demonstrated her exceptional execution ability, quickly adjusting her weapons and equipment and leading the team to the front line for reconnaissance.

Not long after, the intelligence reported back from the front shocked them - it turned out that the so-called "out-of-control" truck was not just creating chaos, but was used to transport a large amount of high-energy ammunition to detonate the main transportation routes and water and electricity facilities in the area.

The repairman slammed his wrench and yelled, "Damn it! This is a classic scorched earth tactic! Once it explodes, our retreat route will be completely paralyzed, and we'll be at your mercy without any resistance!"

Zhao Li hurried back to report the situation and added, "Not only that, the enemy commander is personally leading his troops to take advantage of the situation. They intend to use this opportunity to completely block our remaining range of activities and implement their annihilation plan!"
