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

As Qin Feng and his group set out on the road to the training base, the air around them seemed to grow even more tense. Everyone had different emotions—some were eager to see a significant improvement through this training, while others were skeptical, worried this might be a trap. However, given the greater threat they were about to face, they had no other choice.

"Is this where we are going to train?" Lin Ze looked at the old playground in front of him that had been abandoned for a long time, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Yes, this place may be unremarkable, but it's very suitable for your upcoming training." A thin man with a sharp gaze from the Night Shadow Organization explained, "Here we can simulate various battlefield environments."

Just as everyone was about to enter the area, a sudden commotion erupted. Curious villagers from a nearby village had gathered. "Oh, is this the legendary heroic team?" a gray-haired elder asked, his voice thick with undisguised curiosity.

"Grandpa, look, they are carrying so many powerful things on their backs. They look more impressive than the soldiers who came last time!" A little boy excitedly pulled the old man's clothes and shouted.

The old man smiled and nodded. "Yes, it seems that there is finally hope for the safety of our village." He turned to Qin Feng and the others and continued, "Warriors, you must keep going! No matter what difficulties you encounter, the villagers will support you!"

Hearing these encouraging words, everyone present suddenly felt warmed. Even if the future remained uncertain, at least there were still many people willing to believe in and rely on him. "Thank you, fellow villagers, for your support," Qin Feng said with a smile, then turned and walked into the training ground.

Upon entering this long-abandoned sports field, the first thing that caught my eye was a strewn array of obstacles: wooden stakes of varying heights, nets woven from thick wire, and various mannequin targets scattered about. "From now until nightfall, we will conduct a series of high-intensity training for you," Leader Night Shadow announced. "Our goal is one: to enable everyone to achieve breakthrough progress in the shortest possible time."

"Have you heard the command? Ready - go!" Following his order, everyone immediately took action and plunged into the intense and fierce training.

Hours passed, the sun gradually set, and everyone's clothes were thoroughly soaked with sweat, but no one showed any sign of slacking off. Instead, they competed fiercely while also encouraging each other. "Come on, Li Xiaoyun! You will definitely surpass your limits!" Old Hu shouted to the girl sprinting forward not far away.

Elsewhere, Xiaojie, practicing swordsmanship, also garnered considerable attention. "Wow, how can this guy be so agile? He's as fast as a cheetah!" the villagers watching nearby exclaimed in amazement. "I heard he was a formidable AI expert!" another villager added, their words filled with recognition and admiration for the young men's abilities.

Just as the atmosphere was growing increasingly tense, a strange color change suddenly appeared in the sky. "Oh no! It looks like it's going to rain..." someone muttered worriedly, looking up at the increasingly dark clouds.

Sure enough, not long after, a few drops of rain began to fall. However, at this moment, Leader Yeying showed no intention of stopping to rest: "Everyone, a real battlefield won't give you the chance to choose the weather. Now please continue to complete the last task - night tactical drill!"

Despite some surprise, no one objected. "Well, since he's right, let's give it a try." Qin Feng, the team leader, took the lead and headed towards the darkness, followed by the others.

The rain intensified, soon shrouding the entire area in a hazy haze. However, for these professionally trained individuals, this provided perfect cover. As they crept through corners under the cover of night, their tacit understanding and coordination were almost breathtaking.

"I didn't expect these guys to be able to endure such hardship. They're truly extraordinary." The observer hidden in the shadows reappeared, muttering softly, "Especially the captain... He seems even stronger than expected."

Just when everyone thought this unexpected test was about to end, a piercing alarm suddenly rang out across the training ground! Then, several massive drones, laden with enemy markings, rapidly approached. "What's going on? Why is there an enemy attack alert?" Lin Ze asked in surprise, his eyes instantly becoming extremely serious.

At the same time, the villagers who had been watching the excitement in the distance began to flee in search of safe havens. "Run! The monster is coming again! Hide!" they shouted in panic, and the scene was in chaos.

"It seems this isn't just an exercise." Mo Liusu's voice suddenly came from the void. "Actually, this is a real confrontation test I arranged to see if you can react quickly and make the right decisions in times of crisis."

"I see." Although he felt a slight sense of relief, Qin Feng knew he couldn't let his guard down at this moment. "Everyone, pay attention! Immediately launch a counterattack according to the previous plan! Remember to protect the civilians and ensure their safe evacuation!"

Following the order, the soldiers immediately divided into several groups to carry out their respective tasks: one group was responsible for fighting the invading enemy; the other group was responsible for helping innocent people escape the danger zone as quickly as possible...

"Captain, we've discovered an unknown signal source! It seems to be some new type of weapon or equipment!" Alia reported her latest discovery via radio.

"Received. Please continue to monitor the other party's movements and keep in touch at all times!" Qin Feng calmly responded to each information point, while personally commanding the front-line combat troops to launch an offensive.

The battle raged until late into the night before slowly winding down. After the last enemy drone was successfully destroyed, a faint scent of gunpowder filled the air. "Everyone's worked hard... but thankfully, we ultimately won," Qin Feng said with a tired smile, looking at his companions.

At this moment, Mo Liusu, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared before everyone. "Well done!" He gave everyone a thumbs-up. "I'm very satisfied with your performance today. I believe that with such excellent team spirit, no matter how big the difficulties are in the future, they will not be a problem."
