High-level martial arts: Contract cashback, invincible starting from the Zerg.

The night was as dark as ink, permeating the skyline of Gu Yong Shangcheng.

When Chen Feng led Xiao Ning into the apartment.

What greets you is not a cold, technological feel, but rather warm, humid air pre-cooled to 24°C by the intelligent system, carrying a faint scent of gardenias.

Sensing Chen Feng's biometrics, the smart light strip in the apartment entrance area began to illuminate with a soft, warm yellow light.

Xiao Ning skipped and hopped onto the smart foot mat, which immediately began to automatically clean the soles of her shoes.

"Dad, look! It's different from before." Xiao Ning pointed to the smart screen next to the entrance and said with a smile.

Chen Feng slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

He still remembered that when Xiao Ning was still in the form of the Crystal Devouring Beast, his favorite thing was when Chen Feng came back and he was sprayed by the cleaning nozzles in the entrance hall.

Even now, Xiao Ning still enjoys teasing the cleaning nozzles there.

After arranging a room for Xiao Ning, Chen Feng lay down on the sofa, wanting to see if his contractors had made any new gains recently.

[Lucky Contract System: Congratulations, host! Bai Fei has successfully killed the Iron Slaughter Zerg Queen and obtained the title: Queen Conqueror, rewarding her with 100000 luck points]

[Lucky Contract System: Congratulations, host! Bai Fei has successfully advanced to a Level 14 Heavenly Rank expert, and her attributes have increased significantly.]

[Lucky Contract System: Congratulations, Host, Cassie from the White Fey War Nest has successfully advanced...]

A series of system notifications exploded on his retina, leaving Chen Feng somewhat stunned.

He knew all too well the strength of the Iron Slaughter Zerg Queen.

A month ago, in the great battle outside the Giant Beast Forest, Chen Feng and Queen Iron Slaughter had a battle at the level of their sea of ​​consciousness.

From that war, Chen Feng could see that the Iron Slaughter Queen possessed the qualities of an excellent commander—cold, vicious, and ruthless. If Chen Feng's sea of ​​consciousness level hadn't been two major levels higher than hers, he probably would have had a very difficult time dealing with her.

Thinking about this, Chen Feng wanted to go and ask Bai Fei for clarification.

Let's see how she wipes out the Iron Slaughter Queen.

However, Chen Feng is still too tired...

Throughout the series of battles at the ancient ruins, Chen Feng's combat instincts and nerves remained in a state of high excitement, even with the help of the Absolute Messenger to calm him down.

However, as long as the memory remains, it will inevitably leave Chen Feng with some negative energy and emotions.

After receiving a reply from Senior Sister Su Qingyuan, Chen Feng immediately turned off his phone and the smart terminal.

All he wanted to do right now was lie on this soft, comfortable sofa and get a good night's sleep.

......

At this moment, at the thirteenth Shangcheng outpost on the border of Shangcheng, more than a hundred kilometers away from Chen Feng's apartment.

The howling wind whipped up pebbles that pelted the bulletproof glass of the outpost, creating a dense, drum-like crackling sound.

Inside the outpost, however, the air was thick with the aroma of hot coffee and the presence of military and police personnel. The twelve detection lights for the area the outpost was responsible for were lit up in green above the control panel.

The outpost commander was sitting in front of the main control console, a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers.

His cuffs were worn smooth and shiny, and a silver badge with worn-out paint was pinned to his collar. His sharp eyes swept over the national highway above the control panel, as if he were thinking about something.

"Captain, the second round of full-area scanning for today is complete, no anomalies found." The young military policeman yawned and rubbed his red eyes.

"Okay, everyone else go and get some rest. I'll keep watch here."

"Okay, stationmaster, we'll go get some fresh air now."

"I'll come over tonight."

As the military and police officers in the monitoring room left one after another, the station chief stubbed out his cigarette in the metal ashtray and was about to close his eyes to rest for a while.

Suddenly, the console screen flickered very slightly.

The flickering was so fast it was almost an illusion; even the "Demon Eye," which refreshes 120 times per second, only managed to capture a barely perceptible black ripple.

The station chief quickly noticed this anomaly.

Years of monitoring work had made his intuition about demons sharper than any instrument. Just a moment ago, he seemed to feel the temperature in the air drop by 0.7 degrees.

A chill, carrying the stench of decay and sulfur, crept up his spine.

He thought for a moment and immediately wanted to press the red alert button.

His movements froze a little.

It felt as if countless cold threads suddenly pressed against his back, silently burrowing into his brain.

Not only did the control panel in front of them begin to twist and deform, but the rotating green lights also turned into pairs of bloodshot eyes, and the sound of the wind outside the outpost turned into the cries of countless babies.

At that moment, he seemed to see the war from three years ago again.

He saw his comrades torn to pieces by the demons, and his wife, whose face was disfigured by the energy of the abyss, reaching out her hand to him with difficulty.

next moment.

The station chief's eyes gradually became empty and blank, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved into an extremely strange arc, the smile so stiff it looked as if it had been carved with a knife.

He slowly released his hand from the alarm button and turned off the area monitoring equipment one by one.

Soon, the people at the outpost noticed the anomaly, and two sentries immediately rushed into the outpost command post with energy weapons.

"Station manager?!"

The shouts of the two sentries exploded like thunder in the command post. The safety bolts of their energy rifles were pulled back simultaneously, and the dark blue muzzles were fixed on the figure in front of the control panel.

They witnessed the station manager personally turn off the monitoring node, almost cutting off the main power supply to the "Eye of the Devil".

This is something only a traitor would do!

Just as the two military police officers were about to fire their guns...

The stationmaster suddenly shuddered, as if he had been pulled out of ice water, and began to cough violently.

His pupils suddenly contracted, the pure black in his eyes quickly faded, and the clarity that belonged to human beings was revealed again.

The hellish hallucination he had just experienced was still churning in his mind, and his wife's decaying hand seemed to be caressing his cheek.

"Don't shoot!"

The outpost commander roared hoarsely, his voice distorted with fear.

However, his movements were as fast as lightning.

The buttons for detecting each area were reopened.

Immediately afterwards, he slammed his palm heavily on the blood-red alarm button.

"Buzz—!!!"

The piercing alarm instantly shattered the silence of the No. 13 outpost area.

Red warning lights flashed wildly in every corridor and every guard post. The soldiers and police who were supposed to be resting rushed out with their weapons, not even properly dressed.

The long wailing of the air raid siren pierced the night sky, carrying back along the border to Gu Yongshang City.

"Attention all units! Attention all units! Outpost No. 13 is under attack by a Phantom-like being! Repeat! Under attack by a Phantom-like being!"

"Drone squadron, take off immediately! Conduct a comprehensive search of the entire territory! Don't miss a single shadow!"

"All ground troops at outposts must immediately block all national highways within twenty miles; no one is permitted to enter or leave!"

Immediately afterwards, the outpost commander abruptly pulled up the system logs from the console.

Fingers swipe rapidly across the screen.

When the outpost commander saw that glaring blank space in the log, his face turned ashen.

The system log showed that seventeen seconds had passed from when he was controlled to when he regained consciousness, and the monitoring vacuum caused by the "Demon Eye" due to a system upgrade vulnerability lasted for a full five seconds.

Five seconds.

It is more than enough for a high-ranking demon to cross the outpost's monitoring range.
