A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

With the number of participants already determined, Zhou An arrived at the training ground.

"Liu Yichang, step forward!" Zhou An announced.

"Hello, Captain!" Liu Yichang immediately stepped forward.

“Your strength is the highest among these people. Now you will be the leader of Group 1 and select fifty people to be your group members,” Zhou An said.

"Yes, Captain." Liu Yichang immediately finished selecting all his men.

"Wang Hai," Zhou An said again.

“Yes, Captain.” Wang Hai, who was behind Zhou An, immediately stepped forward.

"You will be the leader of Group 2. Select fifty people," Zhou An instructed.

"Yes, Captain!" Wang Hai said excitedly.

Although he was only at level three, he finally became a team leader.

It's worth noting that he had always been a nobody in Group 5, even though he was quite strong.

Wang Hai quickly finished selecting all fifty people.

There are currently 49 players remaining on the field.

Most are two-level, and there are three three-level ones as well.

Wang Hai was also aware of some social etiquette, so he didn't select all the three levels.

"Cold Core, step forward!" Zhou An shouted again.

“Here, Captain!” Leng Xin was also a little stunned, but she reacted quickly and stepped forward immediately.

"Although you are only at level two, you are an S-level potential user, and your destructive power can reach level five."

“You are the leader of Group Three, and the rest of you are your group members,” Zhou An said.

"Thank you, Captain." Leng Xin was overwhelmed with emotion.

She's only been with the company for a short time, yet she's already been appointed as a team leader.

She used the resources the team provided over the past few days to break through to level 2.

Chapter 169 Highest Alert: A Swarm of Blood Mosquitoes

The number of personnel in District 1 has once again become sufficient.

Many of his subordinates could be promoted further.

However, there is no longer a team leader position.

But no problem.

Group 4 definitely needs to be eliminated; we'll take it down when the opportunity arises later.

Subsequently, Zhou An entrusted the remaining tasks to Liu Changyi.

This guy truly lives up to his title as a deacon of the Holy Spirit Church; he's a master at handling documents.

Just as Zhou An was about to slack off, a very ethereal voice suddenly came from outside the city.

"Buzzing..."

The sound was extremely penetrating; it could be easily heard both inside and outside the room.

"What is this?" Zhou An stood by the window, gazing towards the direction outside the city.

The sky outside the city had turned completely dark.

From a distance, it looked as if dark clouds were pressing down overhead.

However, Zhou An couldn't be so foolish as to think that it was really a black cloud.

Zhou An directly activated the power of the monkey talisman, transforming his eyes into eagle eyes.

In an instant, Zhou An saw it clearly.

That dark cloud wasn't a cloud at all; it was a dense swarm of mosquitoes.

It differs from mosquitoes in that its mouthparts are more ferocious and its body size is also much larger.

It's about the size of a washbasin.

Zhou An glanced around and found that almost the entire area was covered by dark clouds.

"Waaaaah~~~!"

The piercing sound of aviation sirens echoed throughout the city.

Immediately afterwards, a phone call came in.

"I am Lei Ran, the newly appointed Director of the Outer City Tianheng Division. Now, immediately summon all members of the 1st District Brigade to provide support in the residential area." Lei Ran's authoritative voice rang out.

"Chief Lei, is this everyone from our District 1 brigade? Shouldn't we leave some people behind to maintain order in the outer city?" Zhou An asked expressionlessly.

"You don't need to worry about that. The whole city will be under martial law. Nobody will dare to go out at this time," Lei Ran said coldly.

"I'll leave a group of men behind, just in case," Zhou An said in a deep voice.

"No, everyone must be sent out. That's an order." Lei Ran's tone became extremely impatient.

“I will leave behind a group of people, led by Leng Xin, an S-level potential candidate,” Zhou An replied.

At this moment, Lei Ran fell silent. After a long while, he said, "Okay, one hour. You must be in position within one hour and then obey the orders of the Mist Demon Tribe."

"Okay," Zhou An replied, and hung up the phone.

Then Zhou An took out a palm-sized button directly from the drawer.

When he pressed the button, a loud horn blared throughout the entire Sector 1 base.

"Assemble, the whole team assemble."

In just three short minutes, everyone had gathered at the training ground.

"Cold Core, step forward," Zhou An announced.

“Here!” Leng Xin immediately stepped forward.

"You three groups will stay at headquarters to patrol and maintain order in the area."

"Everyone else, grab your equipment and weapons and head to the residential area to support the defense of the city!" Zhou An said in a deep voice.

These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Why? Why should Group Three stay while we all have to go defend the city?" The leader of Group Four immediately stood up and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Why? Because Leng Xin is an S-level potential user. If you were an S-level potential user, you wouldn't have to go."

"Everyone, what are you standing there for? Grab your equipment. You have five minutes to prepare."

As soon as Zhou An said this, everyone quickly started to move.

If it's said to be five minutes, then it really is five minutes.

Zhou An led more than 400 men in a large convoy of military trucks toward the residential area.

There were almost no vehicles or pedestrians on the entire street.

This is clearly the effect of imposing martial law on the entire city.

That's why their vehicles sped off at breakneck speed.

In just twenty minutes, we arrived at the outer city gate.

At the outer city gate, there were city guards on duty.

Upon seeing Zhou An and his group, they let them pass without asking any questions.

Before long, Zhou An entered the residential area.

Believe it or not, this was Zhou An's first time visiting the residential area.

The houses are arranged in a staggered pattern, but there are no high-rise buildings; the tallest is only ten stories.

Moreover, there are very few entertainment shops here; you can hardly see any.

Vehicles were extremely scarce.

Although this is a slum, the quality of life here isn't too bad.

At most, the convenience in terms of technology is much worse.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the city wall.

The city walls here are even taller, reaching over a hundred meters in height.

It was extremely spectacular.

A deep blue energy shield could be seen appearing on the city wall.

It blocked all the blood-sucking mosquitoes, preventing them from getting even a little bit inside.

There were also a large number of Tianheng Division personnel on the city wall, who were testing various large weapons.

Countless people and vehicles were busy in front of the city gate.

Zhou An also saw many other members of the Tianheng Division who had been conscripted like him, as well as some independent individuals with considerable strength.

As soon as Zhou An got out of the car, a man who looked like a military officer came up to him and asked, "Where are you from?"

"The captain of the 1st District Brigade of the Tianheng Division in the outer city has arrived with 435 members to provide support," Zhou An immediately announced.

"The captain of the 1st District Battalion?" The officer's eyes flickered, and then he immediately said, "All of you, immediately go up to the city wall and defend the eighteenth section of the city wall."

Upon hearing this, Zhou An nodded and immediately led more than four hundred men directly onto the city wall.

Only after they reached the city wall did they feel a sense of oppression and despair.

At first glance, it was densely packed with black, blood-sucking mosquitoes.

An endless buzzing sound filled my ears.

Some team members even started to feel their legs go weak and tremble.

But no one dared to back down.
