At the most critical moment for the Reunion soldiers, a heavily armored man in full protective gear charged forward! He skillfully held a black tower shield as tall as himself in the center of his body, stepping into the sword formation and kicking the other soldiers out of the sword aura's range.

"It's Big Brother!"

"Big Brother is here!"

"Brother, let's fuck that bitch to death!!!"

The Reunion soldiers, having survived the ordeal, wept with joy.

Admiring gazes fell upon the back of the shield-wielding man, admiring his heavy full set of armor and his strong arms!

Big Shield Guy, my Superman!

The soldiers of the Reunion Movement rallied.

"Zizzi-"

Within the Crimson Sky Sword Formation, incomparably sharp crimson sword energy intertwined around the heavily armored defender, leaving sword marks on the surface of his armor. The Great Shield Hero was like a piece of metal thrown into a meat grinder, emitting a noise that made one's teeth ache and ears hurt.

Even so, Big Shield Bro still advanced towards the enemy with his shield raised, without any fear.

"Ha, who gave you the confidence to challenge me?"

Chen Huijie stared at the other person calmly, as if looking at a corpse.

Even the Bone Raider, with its extremely strong regenerative ability, was once chopped into dust by her with a single strike, let alone a heavily armored warrior.

"Red Sky..."

Chi Xiao sheathed his sword, and the sword formation stirred up a gust of wind, after which the sword energy gradually returned.

Chen assumed a fighting stance, her hand hovering over the Crimson Sky Sword, channeling her unwavering will to win into the weapon.

There's an old saying—true duelists even have their card draws predetermined; they just say what they want, and their cards will respond! The same goes for weapons; if you want something, just say it!

The shield-wielding man's visor glowed red; he knew this was his only chance, and success or failure hinged on this moment!

Raise shield, bend over, charge forward!

A series of mournful groans echoed from the floor of the Ancient Plaza. Weighing two hundred pounds plus two hundred pounds of heavy armor, it was practically a humanoid heavy machine. The Ursus race's talents lay in their sturdy physique, immense strength, and unwavering will, all of which were perfectly displayed at this moment.

A fierce wind howled as Big Shield Brother charged forward, shield raised, creating gusts of wind.

Chen's long hair fluttered in the wind, and she squinted her eyes slightly, her eyes filled with dazzling light.

The sky formed by spiritual consciousness seemed to condense into a drop of water, falling into a clear lake and creating ripples.

Chen made her move; at that moment, it was as if she had grasped not the Crimson Sky, but an inch of light.

"flash!!"

Crimson Sky - Draw Sword

Hundreds of flashes of light streaked towards the enemy at the same moment, and all the enemies in front of them were within the range of the slashes!

"Clang—!!!"

Chixiao let out a deafening roar, countless sparks flew, and red-hot iron filings drifted in the air.

The heavily armored shield-wielding Reunion soldier was cleaved in two; half of his bloodied, severed body was almost entirely composed of ore, indicating he was already on the verge of death. The shield-wielding soldier's shield was less than three meters from Chen, and those brief three meters decided the outcome of the battle. Ursus's prized heavy weaponry couldn't withstand Chen's single strike, and not only him, but even the Reunion soldiers who had cowered behind him were pierced by the indestructible sword's edge.

—The eldest brother has fallen.

"Damn it, damn it!!"

The Reunion soldier who had narrowly avoided the sword's edge watched what was happening before him, muttering to himself as if he had lost the ability to form a coherent sentence. He turned to look at the other side, where a woman with dark green hair, covered in blood, stood there blankly, seemingly lost in thought.

It's pointless; these are people from the Guard Bureau.

"We'll die together!!"

The thought that even if he died, he would drag someone down to hell took hold of his mind, and the infected soldier rushed forward, slashing at the enemy.

"Prepare to die—Aaaaaaah!!"

Startled, Hoshiguma instinctively swung her left arm to deflect the incoming blade, then grabbed the man's head and lifted him high into the air. Hoshiguma was a full 1.84 meters tall, and the short soldier she grabbed was thrown off the ground, a chilling sound emanating from his neck.

Hoshiguma's five fingers were embedded in the infected soldier's skull like shackles, and she was unconsciously gradually increasing her strength.

"Click-clack-click-clack..."

The sound of bones cracking was clearly audible, immediately stunning the remaining Reunion soldiers.

This kind of death is far more terrifying than dying by the sword of another madwoman.

Hoshiguma was in a daze, her mind filled with what Old Chen had said.

"Hoshiguma, you are my friend, my partner, and my future family."

friend……

partner……

Home, family?!

"Eh, eh eh eh!?"

Hoshiguma instinctively clenched her fist, unintentionally crushing the enemy's head.

The mask shattered, blood splattered, and the headless corpse, lifeless and limp like a puppet, fell to the ground.

The soldiers of the Reunion Movement watched silently, then turned and charged toward the other woman, roaring.

This is unbelievable!

Time passed, and when Hoshiguma finally came to her senses and joined the battle, the fight was nearing its end.

After Chen Huijie drew her Crimson Blade and killed the shield-wielding man and eight or nine infected soldiers with a single strike, she switched to a standard longsword for the next round. The Crimson Blade placed too much strain on her body; with her mental strength, she couldn't sustain it for long. Of course, the Crimson Blade's effectiveness was remarkable; she hadn't yet encountered an enemy that couldn't be killed with a single strike. If there was, then two strikes would suffice.

"Medical team, Exit 12, south side of the former Daigo Plaza! One injured person, identified as an inspector from the Imperial Guard Bureau. Act quickly!"

Superintendent Chan roared into the walkie-talkie, her voice still full of energy even after a fierce battle.

After putting down the walkie-talkie, Chen looked at Hoshiguma anxiously and asked, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"Old Chen, I..."

Hoshiguma suddenly collapsed to the ground, clutching her chest with her left hand, looking extremely pained.

"Hoshiguma?!" Chen Huijie was startled and rushed over to pick up Hoshiguma. Her voice trembled, "Hoshiguma, don't scare me! Are you hurt again?!"

Hoshiguma pursed her lips deeply, gazing into her friend's eyes, while Old Chen's eyes were only on her.

"Old Chen, I have a wish, can you help me fulfill it?"

"You said I could do anything for you!"

"So……"

Hoshiguma slowly opened her left hand, holding a rectangular portable voice recorder, the glowing light indicating that it was recording.

"Could you repeat what you said to me before?"

Chapter 395 Where there is a dragon, there is spirit

"Old Chen, don't be angry!"

"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

"Please don't ignore me, oh my hand hurts so much..."

Hoshiguma followed behind Chen, looking aggrieved, with a large bump on her head that was faintly steaming.

Chen Huijie ignored her, crossed her arms and walked at the front, puffing out her cheeks unhappily, clearly quite angry with Hoshiguma.

"Each team should check for any injuries, report the number immediately, and update the situation on the ground!"

After speaking, Superintendent Chen silently hung the walkie-talkie back on his belt, glanced back at Hoshiguma, and looked at him with a resentful expression.

Do you know what I'm angry about?

I'm giving you a chance; make the most of it.

"I know I was wrong!" Hoshiguma straightened her back, her face sincere, and raised her hand in salute. "I shouldn't have lied to you! My mistake was that, although I really wanted to hear it again, a recording obtained through illegal means cannot be used as evidence, nor can it be considered valid physical evidence in court!"

"I'm angry because you pretended to be dead to scare me!!"

Chen suddenly had an urge to strangle Hoshiguma, but fortunately, a timely report came through the communicator and saved Hoshiguma's life.

"explain."

Chen picked up the walkie-talkie and turned to listen to his subordinate's report.

Hoshiguma watched Chen's retreating figure, standing quietly in place.

"Commander Hoshiguma, what's the good news? Why are you smiling so happily?"

The officers from the Imperial Guard happened to meet up and, seeing the uncontrollable smile on Hoshiguma's face, subconsciously asked a question.

"Hey, it's not that exaggerated—hey! Old Chen, wait for me!"

Hoshiguma patted the officer on the shoulder, nearly knocking him to the ground, and followed Chen with cheerful steps.

The guard who was inexplicably beaten was buried halfway up the floor, becoming the most seriously injured officer in this operation.

"AL1 team, drive all Reunion Movement members to the designated area. If you encounter any Reunion Movement forces in other areas along the way, you are authorized to eliminate them directly. The Rhodes Island team and Superintendent Swire are nearby and can provide support if necessary by diverting police forces guarding the transportation hub."

"After clearing out the integration movement in the Front Bay area, AO3 team will immediately rest and regroup at the transit station around the Guard Bureau building."

"AU7 Squad, forced the remnants of the Reunion Movement in the Lower Ring area to retreat towards the Guard Bureau. Over."

Special Inspectorate Leader Superintendent Chen methodically assigned tasks; she was not only on the front lines but also the commander of this operation. As for Wei Yanwu? His whereabouts were unknown to the Guard Bureau, and he didn't need to appear at this time.

After exchanging messages, Hoshiguma breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Only the two of us were blown down. What kind of luck do you think we have, Lao Chen?"

“…I’ve always had bad luck.” Chen glanced at her. “I’ve dragged you down with me.”

"No, don't say that. We're going to be family. How can something so small stop us?"

"Shut up," Chen Huijie said, feeling ashamed and indignant.

"Yes."

Hoshiguma raised her hand to her mouth and obediently stood next to Old Chen, looking at her expectantly.
