A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

Zhou An plopped down in the recliner, still processing the information he had just received.

Unexpectedly, the parasitic insects have already occupied half of the human forces.

The fact that Tianhengsi considers the parasitic insects a minor issue is probably due to the machinations of the higher-ups in the parasitic insect community.

"What a complicated world." Zhou An rubbed his temples.

Outside, the Fog Demons wreak havoc, encroaching on humanity's living space.

There is a threat that parasitic insects could take its place.

The higher echelons of humanity are also distributed across countries around the world.

The reasons for the destruction of this world are definitely more complex.

"The inner city, we need to enter the inner city first," Zhou An decided.

They took out some resources and drank them all at once.

Then I fell into a deep sleep.

Sleeping is a form of cultivation.

And you know what? The cultivation resources I consumed were actually quite useful.

It can actually increase the accumulation progress of cultivation time.

Zhou An calculated that it had increased by about double.

This means that the time required to cultivate to the ninth level will be shortened from two months to one month.

Soon, the night had passed.

Zhou An slept until noon the next day.

His dream-sleeping technique has already reached the third level.

However, Zhou An's cultivation level did not break through to level 3.

The level of a cultivation technique has no relation to one's cultivation realm.

However, it's not a big problem. The more advanced the cultivation technique, the faster Zhou An can break through.

Chapter 164 Operation, Fifth-Level Deacon of the Holy Spirit Cult

"Knock knock knock!" There was a knocking sound at the door.

"Team leader, are you awake? Captain Yan wants you to come over."

"Okay, I understand," Zhou An replied.

Footsteps immediately came from outside the door.

Zhou An went to the restroom next to the office, washed up briefly, and then left the office.

The office area has now doubled in size.

Because there are too many group members.

Some are patrolling the streets, some are training in the training ground, and there are still more than ten people left in the office area.

"Team leader."

"Good afternoon, team leader."

"Hello, team leader."

As they walked, everyone greeted Zhou An.

Before long, Zhou An arrived at the office of the Word Spirit on the top floor.

Unexpectedly, Zhou An also saw Leng Xin in the office.

"Zhou An, you're here. Come over here quickly." Yan Ling waved to Zhou An.

Zhou An nodded, then went to the sofa next to him and sat down.

"Captain Yan, what's the matter that you called me here for?" Zhou An asked directly.

"Didn't you want to know why Tianheng Division is recruiting 10,000 more people?"

"The director has already told me," Yan Ling said slowly.

"Oh? Why is that?" Zhou An quickly asked.

"The mist demons outside the city are stirring, and news has spread from the inner city that this is the biggest riot in nearly ten years, requiring an expansion of recruitment."

"However, this is not the main reason. Tianhengsi wanted to prevent the Holy Spirit Cult from causing trouble during the Mist Demon's rampage."

"Prepare to launch an operation to eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult."

“This operation will only be known to the captains of each district. You need to keep it strictly confidential, understand?” Yan Ling said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhou An was shocked. This expansion of recruitment wasn't for the sake of the Fog Demons outside the city, but to wipe out the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Holy Spirit Cult? What's that?" Zhou An pretended to be completely bewildered.

Leng Xin also looked puzzled.

“You’ve only just joined Tianheng Division, so you don’t understand yet. The Holy Spirit Cult is a complete and utter cult.”

"Those who target human strongmen instead of the Mist Demons are scum of humanity," Yan Ling said, his face filled with resentment.

"Captain Yan, when does the operation begin?" Zhou An asked.

"We'll move out promptly at 8 PM tonight, and make sure everyone is there."

"Don't ask for specifics, I won't tell you even if you do."

"This operation is large-scale; almost all the Tianheng Division brigades in the outer city will participate."

"Remember this, this is a good opportunity for you to show your face."

“You will follow me personally, and with my protection, you will also gain a lot of merit.” Yan Ling went to great lengths for them.

"Yes, Captain Yan." Zhou An nodded repeatedly.

"Zhou An, remember to protect Leng Xin. She's not as strong as you, and she won't be able to unleash many moves," Yan Ling instructed.

"Don't worry, as long as you have a breath left, you definitely won't die." Zhou An nodded slightly.

Zhou An and Leng Xin quickly went down to the fourth floor and returned to the territory of the fifth group.

"Leng Xin, cultivate diligently and break through to level 2 as soon as possible," Zhou An said.

“Captain, I obtained cultivation resources yesterday and have already broken through to level 2,” Leng Xin replied.

"Good, then break through to level 3 as soon as possible." Zhou An was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and praised.

Zhou An immediately returned to his office.

Now that we have more men under our command, we don't need Zhou An anymore when we go out on patrol.

This also allowed Zhou An to have more free time and continue his cultivation.

However, Zhou An did not cultivate. Instead, he focused his mind on his inventory, fixing it on the Holy Spirit Cult Deacon Token.

He was wondering whether he should notify the Holy Spirit Cult in advance.

But after thinking about it, I gave up on the idea.

Such a large-scale operation must have been perfectly planned.

Many members of the Holy Spirit Cult have already been exposed as being monitored without their knowledge.

If Zhou An had notified them, they would have retreated immediately upon receiving the news.

They would still be caught, and this would also alert the traitors, letting them know that the Holy Spirit Cult had a mole in Tianheng Division.

Very few people knew about it, except for the captains of the Tianheng Division in the outer city.

Now, the words of power have also been communicated to Zhou An and Leng Xin.

Then the risk of exposure is very high.

Another possibility is that these captains may now be under surveillance by some means.

Perhaps it's also to find the mole.

Moreover, he himself had only recently joined the Holy Spirit Cult, and the true situation of the Holy Spirit Cult was still uncertain.

So he acted as if nothing had happened.

He lay down on the chair and fell fast asleep.

No one could stop Zhou An from cultivating in his sleep.

……

Meanwhile, Yan Ling received a notification from his superior and went to the outer city headquarters.

Inside the director's office.

Using his spatial abilities, the Word Spirit appeared directly here.

"Dad, what did you call me here for?" Yan Ling sat down on the sofa and crossed her legs.

He even picked up a peach from the table and started eating it with gusto.

"You're a girl, you should sit properly. What kind of behavior is it to cross your legs like that?" Yan Chen put down the question in his hand and frowned as he looked at Yan Ling.

"Oh, Dad, there are no outsiders here. I'm very well-behaved outside."

"I only relax in front of you and Mom." Yan Ling still had her legs crossed.

"You, I just can't do anything with you." Yan Chen shook his head helplessly.

"By the way, did you tell your two S-rank potential users about tonight's operation?" Yan Chen's gaze became somewhat deep.

"Huh? Dad, how did you know?" Yan Ling sat up straight in surprise.

"How did I know? Do you know how important this operation is?"

"I told you not to leak secrets, not to leak secrets, and you, as my daughter and the captain of the 1st District Brigade, just leaked secrets like this?" Yan Chen said with a stern face and a very serious tone.

"Oh, it's alright. They're S-level potential users; they couldn't possibly be from the Holy Spirit Cult."
