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

"Who are you?" Lu Yining immediately stood in front to protect the other team members.

"I'm a member of the Shadow Society, and I've come specially to welcome you," he said, spreading his hands as if jokingly.

The crowd around gradually gathered together, and everyone watched the confrontation curiously.

"Are they members of the Shadow Society? They deserve this bad luck!" An old man in the crowd shouted, causing others to talk.

"Let's get started!" another young man shouted excitedly, as if he was watching an exciting blockbuster.

The man in black was clearly quite unhappy with the crowd's reaction, and the smile on his face vanished without a trace. "Hmph, you ignorant people! Do you know what kind of power you are fighting against?"

However, no one backed down; on the contrary, the crowd seemed even more enthusiastic.

"Of course we have to be brave to deal with evil forces. We support people of justice!" The old man cheered loudly, and others echoed him.

Seeing this, Li Chen took the opportunity to whisper to Zhang Ming: "What should we do now? There are quite a few of them."

"According to the original plan, distract their attention first." Zhang Ming answered decisively.

Then the two of them started to act in perfect harmony. Li Chen deliberately walked to one side, attracted the attention of several opponents, and then quickly ran in the opposite direction. Zhang Ming took the opportunity to take out a dart and threw it at the leading guy.

The moment the dart hit the man, he screamed and fell to the ground, causing a moment of chaos. The surrounding spectators applauded and cheered them on.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Sheng Nanting and his companions successfully escaped the scene and drove away from the area. On the way, everyone was still terrified, but they also understood the importance of unity and cooperation.

After returning to the secret base, Xinghuo had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing everyone return safely, he smiled with relief.

"Just now, I discovered through aerial surveillance that a group of people were chasing you. Fortunately, they were all resolved," Xinghuo briefly reported the situation.

"Thank you for your help." Sheng Nanting stepped forward and patted the other person's shoulder gratefully.

"You're welcome," Xinghuo shook her head, then turned to look at the computer screen, "But according to the intelligence I have, the Shadow Society is very likely planning another bigger conspiracy..."

Hearing this, everyone present turned serious. Li Chen was the first to ask the question in his mind: "What kind of conspiracy is this?"

"The specific situation is still unclear, but judging from the information collected so far, the scope involved this time may be much wider than imagined." Xinghuo analyzed seriously.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were suddenly heard outside, and then a team member hurried in.

"Oh no, Captain! A large number of unidentified individuals have been spotted gathering on the edge of the city! They look like they're planning an attack!"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and everyone knew that this meant they were about to face a new round of severe tests.

"Prepare for battle!" Sheng Nanting gave the order decisively.

"But our physical strength has not yet fully recovered..." someone said worriedly.

"There is no other way. We must take action immediately, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" Lu Yining said firmly.

Just as everyone was discussing the next plan of action, Ye Ying suddenly interrupted: "Wait, maybe I can try to contact some allies to join the battle and share the pressure."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Sheng Nanting nodded in agreement.

A moment later, Ye Ying hung up the phone and turned around. "Several people have already promised to come and support us as soon as possible, but the most important thing now is that time is running out. We must stabilize the situation first before we can get more help!"

So, the group got ready and re-joined the battle to defend the city.

"We must protect our homeland at all costs!" Sheng Nanting's eyes were sharp.

"For freedom and peace!" Everyone shouted in unison and set out on the journey with full faith...

At this moment, bursts of whistling sounds were heard outside - the sound of the enemy approaching. Under the cover of night, a new battle was about to begin...

"Will we win?" Li Chen asked in a low voice.

"Of course we will, because we still have each other." Lu Yining responded with a smile, his eyes full of infinite hope for the future.

As the last rays of moonlight fell upon their shoulders, they resolutely marched forward into the unknown... The jeep once again weaved through the narrow city streets, the roar of its engine blending with the hustle and bustle of the city. This time, they had no time to enjoy a moment of peace and quiet; they could only prepare with all their might for the coming battle.

The vehicles sped along, drawing sidelong glances from passersby. Some wore surprised expressions, as if sensing an unusual power from the group's aura. "Where are these people going?" "They don't look like ordinary people," whispered the others, and everyone unconsciously made way.

Finally, under the flickering light of a streetlight, the jeep stopped. This was a deserted factory area on the outskirts of the city, a rallying point for the enemy. The abandoned buildings, cloaked in darkness, resembled a beast with its jaws agape, waiting to devour any life.

"Is this it? It's quite eerie!" Li Chen whispered jokingly to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Well, be careful, this place is not simple." Sheng Nanting responded while checking his equipment.

At this moment, muffled footsteps could be heard in the distance. The Shadow Society members had clearly realized they had been discovered and began to move closer. "Are you all ready?" Sheng Nanting looked around to check on the status of each teammate.

Everyone nodded. "Move!" As soon as the words fell, five figures disappeared into the night.

Just as the fight was about to break out, a nearby street vendor, Mr. Wang, and his grandson happened to pass by the area. Seeing the scene, the old man was stunned and asked, "Oh my! What are they doing? Why are so many people gathered here?"

The child held his grandfather's hand, his eyes full of curiosity but also a little fear, "Grandpa, are they fighting?"

"Child, don't guess blindly if you don't understand. Go home quickly to avoid getting hurt!" Grandpa Wang quickly hid his grandson behind him, but he still couldn't help but stick half of his body out to continue observing the situation here.

The sounds of gunfire intensified. Although the team members had some advantages thanks to their agility, they were too numerous to suppress the enemy for long. The situation became even more dire when the enemy brought out heavy weapons.

At this critical moment, several mysterious figures silently appeared at the edge of the battlefield. They turned out to be the allies who had previously promised assistance. "Now, disperse their firepower!" the leader shouted. A new round of attacks then began from the periphery, effectively disrupting the enemy's deployment.
