It's another uneventful day. After a few days of recuperation, Ye Jiumu's body basically returned to normal, and Qi Weidong could take a few steps with the help of Xue Buli. Although he always smiled happily and said he had a blessing in disguise, showing no concern about losing an arm when visited by everyone, even Pei Yan could see the loneliness hidden in his eyes.

At dinner, Ye Jiumu, whose face was still pale from blood loss, gulped down the pig blood soup specially prepared for him by the cafeteria, along with fried pork liver and stewed beef brisket, adhering to the principle of replenishing what was lost. Seeing his appetite return greatly, everyone's hearts eased. Now, the only trace left from that epic battle is a faint, long scar below his neck, though healed, the scar remains.

After dinner, everyone returned to their dorms. Just as Pei Yan took off his socks and was about to change into pajamas for washing, the alarm in the investigation office blared loudly. Pei Yan was first startled, then delighted, hurriedly putting on his socks. As he was tying his shoes, Wang Wenze, breathless from running back, grabbed the door frame and shouted, "Emergency mission! Equip and prepare to depart!"

Five minutes later, over a hundred people gathered in the training hall. Gao Yaping from the equipment department, along with seven or eight staff members, solemnly distributed equipment. In addition to usual firearms, everyone was issued various disposable devices, specifically developed by the equipment division for battles against superpowered individuals.

In previous ordinary missions, there was no need to distribute these devices. Seeing the equipment in their hands and the setup, everyone knew a fierce combat was impending.

"Jiumu, your wound hasn't fully healed, maybe you shouldn't go on this mission!" hearing Yu Zhongmin briefing the task ahead, Pei Yan turned and whispered to Ye Jiumu beside him.

"You knew this mission was coming, didn't you? You seem much calmer than the others!" Ye Jiumu checked the newly issued firearm and continued to ask, "Do you think those two will show up?"

"Probably!" Pei Yan raised his head, looking uncertainly to the front of the team. According to Yu Zhongmin, the Divine Desire People used Magic Realm's explorative puppets to probe the Secret Prison for the first time ten minutes ago. Five minutes ago, the first batch of intruders attacked the Secret Prison, and now they need to head there to support suppressing the riot!

The mission was urgent, with no so-called pre-battle mobilization. After receiving the equipment, ten elite squads set off for the mission location. It was at this point Pei Yan realized the investigation office had more than one teleportation array. When the teleportation secret rooms were opened, all squads vanished into the teleportation arrays.

As Pei Yan just stepped out of the teleportation array, the deafening sound of gunfire exploded beside his ear. Concurrently, a heavy palm slapped on his shoulder, growling, "Hurry up! Move forward, don't stand there! Ahead is the battlefield!"

Pei Yan turned his head to see none other than Instructor Miao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. At this moment, Instructor Miao was commanding the personnel emerging from the teleportation array, rapidly adapting to the on-site environment. Without needing more prompts, Pei Yan and others, led by a Golden Eagle Team warrior, rushed out.

To lure the enemy deeper, the outer perimeter of the Secret Prison was taken by enemies immediately. Now the second line of defense is at the brink of collapse. Just as Pei Yan and others rushed out of the main gate of the Secret Prison's main building, the door, once deeply impressed and blended with confinement ring material, collapsed under repeated attacks, and the Divine Desire People surged in.

What greeted them was gunfire sweeping in from all directions. Occasionally, rockets shot from the launchers tilted at the gate, momentarily halting the Divine Desire People's advance.

Pei Yan, deeply familiar with this patch of grass, stopped his squadmate from charging. Sure enough, other squads also received the same command. All close-range combat superpowered individuals stood by, while those with ranged attack abilities concentrated their firepower to suppress the enemy at the gate.

Instantly, half of the Upper Star Squad went silent, shifting their gaze to Pei Yan. Liang Qian and the others did not disappoint, as the roar of metal storms and successive explosions with blinding fire, thunder, icy mist, and flying iron mingled and bombarded the Divine Desire members at the gate.

After the initial attack failed, the opponents quickly adjusted. A team of Divine Desire individuals wielding round shields stood at the front of their lineup. The shields interacted, forming a patch of azure light wall. All attacks from the investigation office struck the light wall, creating ripples, and rapidly dimming its brightness.

Whenever the light wall was about to shatter, another Divine Desire member would replace the shield with a new one, and the replaced person's round shield would crack and shatter into pieces upon leaving the defense array.

While these shield bearers were blocking the attacks, Pei Yan noticed a new team behind them. They took out more than ten large barrels from their dimensional rings, overturning them on the ground. The seemingly clean liquid spilled over the grass, which quickly turned yellow and wilted, turning into patches of cratered black earth. The team then scattered unknown powder continuously.

As the patch of green grass wilted further, a portly middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd. Sharp-eyed Pei Yan recognized him immediately as Zhao Liben from the newly issued wanted list!

With an eerie gaze, he swept across the battlefield, then took out a Jiezhi Space from his bosom, casually throwing it on the ground. As a light flashed, tall, scaly humanoid creatures surged from the Jiezhi Space.

These creatures, after initial confusion, were quickly urged by hidden mind controllers in their ranks to roar to the sky and rush recklessly toward the fierce assault!

"It's impossible! A single Jiezhi Space can't carry so many superpowered beings through a teleportation array. No array can handle that!" Someone in the crowd shouted in horror, watching the creatures, blasted by fireballs, stand up and charge again.

The existence of a formidable creature wouldn't usually terrify a trained investigator. What terrified him was the Jiezhi Space, still shining, endlessly pouring out creatures as if it had an infinite capacity.

The Upper Star Squad and others remained quite calm, exchanging looks when observing these monsters, recalling the Devouring Demon encountered by the pond that night.

As the lawn completely turned barren, the creatures, undeterred by injuries, finally reached the outer edge of the main building of the Secret Prison. Not waiting for orders from above, eager investigators burst through windows, engaging in fierce combat with the creatures.

Pei Yan endured the creature's claw strike, backhanded to grasp its wrist. Pulling it close, he twisted its neck with the crook of his arm, breaking its throat. Yet his gaze swept over the crowd, searching for the two individuals from that night and Mu Fanchen.
