Doomsday police, please show your god/demon ID card.

In the afternoon, in the main building conference room.

The atmosphere was unusually relaxed, even a little noisy.

"Come on, Lao Luo, fire here!"

Wang Hu rolled up his sleeves, revealing his dark gold arms, and sneered at Luo Yongchao with an arrogant look: "Don't hold back, go for it! If you even flinch, I'll call you daddy!"

Luo Yongchao's face was dark, he was holding a solid steel pipe in his hand, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

"Hey Wang, don't go too far! Do you really think I can't handle you just because you've turned into a bronze statue?"

"Hey, it's not that I look down on you, but with your skills, you're not even as good as my grandma." Wang Hu said arrogantly, with his nostrils flaring up.

"Holy shit! You son of a bitch..."

"Alright."

Tang Long pushed open the door and slammed the folder in his hand onto the table.

"I could hear you all quacking like ducks at a market before I even stepped inside."

"Wang Hu, since you have so much energy, go and move ten tons of stones from the outer city wall tomorrow."

Wang Hu immediately shrank back, and the golden light around him disappeared: "No, Captain Tang, I'm starting the meeting now, I'm starting the meeting now."

The crowd laughed.

Tang Long sat down, tapped the table, and his expression returned to seriousness.

"Zhao Fan, report the final results."

"Yes." Zhao Fan stood up and opened his notebook: "A total of 52 people participated in this experiment. 18 people successfully awakened their enhanced abilities, including Captain Wang Hu, who is a special type of mutant. 34 people failed, with no deaths, but all of them showed varying degrees of improvement in their physical abilities."

"very good."

Tang Long nodded, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. "From today onwards, these 18 successful individuals will be organized into a separate special operations team, directly commanded by Wang Hu."

Wang Hu immediately stood up and saluted: "Yes, sir!"

Tang Long nodded: "As for the remaining people, although they did not successfully enhance their abilities, their physical fitness is much better than before! In this way, we will integrate these people into the various patrol teams and train them as squad leaders and key personnel."

"In addition, we will monitor their condition in real time to see if there are any aftereffects or anything like that."

"Understood." Zhao Fan wrote down the order.

Tang Long thought for a moment, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Chen Ming: "The production of potential-enhancing drugs needs to keep up, with priority given to the garrison."

"We must build a truly extraordinary army as quickly as possible."

Chen Ming nodded, his face solemn: "Understood."

"Finally, starting tomorrow, the security force will be expanding its recruitment again! This time, we will recruit a full thousand people."

Everyone was taken aback and exchanged glances.

1000 people!

This is about to be a big move!

They then responded in unison, "Yes!"

……

the other side.

Dongyun City, North Suburb Grain Depot.

Several black SUVs stopped in front of the grain depot, which was riddled with bullet holes.

The car door opened, and a team of fully armed personnel stepped out.

They were dressed in uniform black combat suits, carrying submachine guns, and even equipped with small tactical radars.

The leader was a woman wearing sunglasses, with short hair, red lips, and holding a tablet computer.

"Captain, it's so clean here."

After checking the surroundings, one of his men reported to his superior, "According to Lei Lie's subsequent report, this place was breached by a horde of zombies. But..."

He pointed to the marks on the ground: "There are no signs of a large-scale stampede by the zombies, and the bullet holes in the walls were caused by a directional explosion. Most importantly, the supplies here have been completely emptied; not even a single screw is left."

"Just as they said, it's fake information!" The woman in sunglasses sneered, took off her sunglasses, and revealed a pair of narrow, snake-like eyes.

"That idiot Lei Lie must have been taken care of!"

She looked at the map on the tablet and drew a circle around the location of Dongcheng District with her finger.

"However, it's quite interesting that a force capable of devouring Lei Lie could actually emerge in Dongyun City."

"Pass down the order: the entire team, switch to stealth mode, target the East City Order District."

"Remember, this mission is reconnaissance and assessment. If they have any use, recruit them; if not..." The woman made a throat-slitting gesture, "clean this place up and turn it into a new testing ground."

"yes!"

The convoy quickly disappeared into the night, silently making its way towards Tang Long's base.

And not far from where they left.

The top of an abandoned water tower.

A man wearing a floral shirt, toying with two silver metal balls in his hands, was sitting on the edge with his legs crossed.

Luo Tian.

He watched the departing convoy, a playful smile curving his lips.

"The Star of Life's observation team? Tsk tsk, looks like Tang Long's days are about to get hectic."

He twirled the metal ball in his hand. The two balls did not collide, but instead intertwined and rotated like magnetic levitation, emitting a strange buzzing sound.

"but……"

Luo Tian withdrew his gaze and looked in a certain direction in the center of Dongyun City, his brows furrowing slightly.

"strangeness."

"The aura of the nascent god-demon hasn't completely dissipated, so why can't headquarters detect a signal?"

"Could it be...?"

"Is the Queen still alive?"

......

Time slips away like sand through our fingers amidst the busyness and reconstruction; three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

night.

Dongcheng District, abandoned mine pit labor camp.

This place was originally a quarry, but it has now been transformed into a temporary labor camp for the base.

The beams of searchlights swept back and forth across the surrounding high walls, and occasionally police officers could be seen patrolling.

"Cough cough..."

Lei Lie collapsed onto a straw mat in a corner, coughing violently for two days.

This third-tier enhancer from the provincial capital looked disheveled and his once-proud muscles were now not only aching but also exuded a deep sense of weakness.

"Damn it! That lunatic surnamed Chen."

"I'll kill him sooner or later." Lei Lie looked at the dense needle marks on his arm, his eyes filled with resentment.

During this period, in addition to mining, he was also taken to undergo various medical examinations every day.

Especially that madman surnamed Chen, who always smiled and injected him with various colored liquids, calling them nutrient solutions. In reality, after each injection, he felt as if his body had been hollowed out, and even mobilizing his internal energy became sluggish.

In addition, there were the electronic shackles flashing red on his ankles and neck, and the twenty armed guards at the mine entrance.

To be honest, he was almost in despair!

"When will this ever end?!"

Beside him, a team member also dressed in prison garb rolled over and wailed in despair, "Captain, have we been abandoned by the company? We've been digging rocks here for so long, and no reinforcements have come."

Lei Lie gritted his teeth and cursed, "Shut up! Don't you know how the company operates?"

"The Seventh Outpost is gone, and so am I. This concerns the company's reputation, and they will not stand idly by!"

This was his only source of emotional support.

If the company sends a higher-level observation team, it wouldn't be difficult to infiltrate this place and rescue people.

Just then.

Tap, tap, tap.

A very faint yet penetrating tapping sound suddenly broke the silence amidst the cacophony of snoring.

That was the sound of stones hitting the ventilation ducts.

Three short, one long.

This is...
