When Jiang Qing'e's voice sounded, the many noisy sounds in front of the stone tower suddenly stopped, and many students' faces became exceptionally brilliant.

  Doubt, shock, terror.

  Many emotions are changing, but the crowd that was originally gathered together has dispersed a little, and their gaze at other teams also has a bit of vigilance.

  Although it is unknown whether Jiang Qing's statement about the great disaster is true or not, being cautious is still good.

  After all, they have experienced the horror inside the dark cave before.

  Anything unexpected can happen.

  "Jiang Xue, you're being alarmist!" Song Qiuyu said after a brief silence.

  Jiang Qing'e didn't respond to her, her eyes scanned the scene, and in the next instant, the corners of her lips lightly rose, with a breathtakingly beautiful smile blooming on that stunning face.

  That smile is surprisingly lethal.

  Many people's eyes showed a stunning color, and their hearts seemed to be infected, unable to help but follow with a smile.

  But soon they came to their senses and hastily suppressed the smile at the corner of their mouths, after all, it was a bit embarrassing.

  However

  But not everyone's mouth can be closed.

  In the crowd, there were extremely few people whose corners of their mouths were stretched into a smile that grew wider and wider until it finally tore through the muscles, with fresh blood flowing out from the corners of their mouths.

  The smile on his face had become extremely eerie.

  Splash!

  The students around them immediately sensed something was wrong, their eyes wide with terror as they stared at their companions who were now sporting grotesque grins, and for a moment there were screams bursting from their mouths.

  In the midst of these screams, those students with eerie smiles suddenly burst out in unison and pounced on the surrounding students, launching a fierce and fearless attack.

  The entire scene suddenly became chaotic.

  "Don't panic, everyone work together and take them down!" Li Luo shouted loudly.

  It has to be said that the students of Shengxuan Xing Academy are not bad in quality. After a brief panic, many people came to their senses and quickly suppressed the fear in their hearts. The next moment, multiple forces launched a fierce attack, and then quickly overwhelmed those students who had revealed strange smiles.

  Moments later, these students were beaten into serious injury and lay motionless on the ground.

  However, even if the riot was quelled, everyone's face still showed a look of horror, apparently they had never thought that one of their companions would be infected.

  Li Luo jumped down from the stairs and walked in front of Song Qiuyu.

  At this time, the latter's eyes were also somewhat terrified, she covered her mouth and didn't dare to speak.

  "Let go of your hand and give me a smile." Li Luo pointed at her and said.

  Song Qiuyu glared angrily, this bastard, actually dared to openly flirt with her.

  "If you don't dare to laugh, I'll suspect that you've also been contaminated. In that case, I can only take action against you." Li Luo drew out the twin blades from his waist and seemed eager to strike.

  Song Qiuyu wanted to throw a pleading glance in all directions, but the other students were also looking at him with vigilance. At this extraordinary moment, they didn't think Li Luo was intentionally teasing people.

  She could only let go of her hand and force a smile, then gritted her teeth: "Alright?"

  "After our investigation, it seems that your smile can induce the evil seeds in your body. You are more suspicious because you have been questioning us all along, so I hope you will maintain this smile for half an hour." Li Luo warned with a serious expression.

  Song Qiuyu's smile froze, maintaining this smile for half an hour?

  Her eyes blazed with anger as she stared at Li Luo, suspecting that he was intentionally messing with her.

  However, Li Luo ignored her and looked at the many teams in front of the stone tower, saying: "Now you believe it? An ordinary evil thought illusion wouldn't cause such deep pollution."

  The other teams turned pale, and for a while some people were in a state of panic.

  "This is not the time to panic, as long as we hold our ground and rely on the defensive capabilities of our stronghold, we may be able to hold out. As long as we can delay for some time, the Academy will definitely find a way to support us after receiving the news." Tian Tian also spoke loudly at this moment.

  Everyone nodded, their expressions slightly relaxed.

  "Jiang sister, what should we do now? We'll listen to you!" a student spoke up at this time.

  "That's right, Elder Jiang. As the leader of our Sanxing Academy, according to the rules within the academy, at critical moments, you have the qualifications to become the commander-in-chief of this stronghold, and everyone will follow your arrangements."

  “”

  More and more voices echoed in agreement, after all, Jiang Qing'e had a very high reputation within the Shengxuan Xuefu, and now that this thing had happened, she was the most trustworthy.

  Jiang Qing'e wasn't particularly interested in that so-called commander-in-chief, but she also understood that at present, in order to respond to the great disaster of the alien species, she had to integrate these forces together.

  She then exchanged a glance with Li Luo, stood up and said: "Put these contaminated students around the stone tower, the purification halo here will help them eliminate the contamination in their bodies."

  She paused for a moment, then said: "Also, from now on, set up a mirror at the entrance of the base. All trainees entering the base must maintain a smile in front of the mirror for one minute."

  This requirement makes many people can't help but want to laugh, because they think of a crowd lining up in front of the mirror waiting for their turn to show off their smile is ridiculously funny.

  But they didn't laugh in the end, because the classmates with sinister smiles on their faces made them feel a chill down their spines.

  "What Li Luo said earlier wasn't wrong, a smile can be a trigger that sets off the evil intentions hidden within one's body. However, in my estimation, this should only apply to some people who aren't too deeply corrupted. Nevertheless, being able to find out something is something." Jiang Qing'e said.

  Everyone nodded, and those who had been planted with evil intentions would indeed be a hidden danger. No one wanted to guard against their companions while dealing with the massive disaster-level anomaly at full force.

  Although it is impossible to find all contaminated people by smiling in front of a mirror, finding one means there will be one less hidden danger.

  Jiang Qing'e then made some deployments and announced that everyone would disperse to prepare for various defenses.

  Looking at the crowd dispersing one after another, both Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo let out a sigh of relief.

  They've done all they can, now it's just a matter of hoping that the massive Class-A anomaly out there spends more time roaming the perimeter, giving them more time to prepare and wait for backup.

  Because of its alien nature, if it were to launch an attack on the base, it would certainly bring many aliens with it at that time.

  It's really a siege of demons.

  As Jiang Qingwa became the commander-in-chief of the stronghold, the atmosphere inside the stronghold also changed. There was no longer the leisureliness of before, but it became as if war was about to break out at any moment.

  At the entrance of the stronghold, there were constantly returning teams, and naturally, some conflicts broke out during this time. However, when a student really smiled in front of the mirror and triggered the evil seed within their body, no one ever questioned this rule again.

  As time gradually passed by, more and more teams returned to their bases.

  Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e stood on a high tower, gazing out at the distant horizon. Originally, with this more than half a month of purification, the black fog in the sky and earth had dissipated a lot.

  But at this moment, as they looked into the distance, they felt a sense of unease creeping in, as if something was slowly approaching.

  "Green Sister"

  Li Luo suddenly asked: "Why this time, a large-scale disaster-level anomaly suddenly appeared, and it just happened to pass through the layers of defense and come here?"

  Jiang Qing'e's expression changed: "What are you suspicious of?"

  Li Luo smiled and said, "It's just a simple feeling."

  He gazed into the distance and said, "A Catastrophic-level disaster, that's equivalent to the strongest Heavenly Punishment stage, isn't it? Even the Seven-Star Pillar may not be able to withstand it."

  "Scared?" Jiang Qing'e smoothed out her wind-blown hair, tilted her head, and winked at him before reaching out with her slender hand to touch Li Luo's forehead.

  "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

  "When can I touch your head and say such a thing?"

  A faint smile appeared in Jiang Qing'e's eyes.

  "Come on, I'm waiting."

  After finishing speaking, she took out a map from her bosom and looked at it carefully. However, after looking for not too long, Li Luo suddenly noticed that her complexion had changed somewhat.

  "What's going on?" he asked intently.

  Jiang Qing'e let out a soft sigh and handed over the map, her slender jade fingers pointing to a place on the periphery.

  "The previously activated secondary purification tower"

  "It's been polluted again."

  Li Luo silently gazed at the small tower sign that was once bright in his memory, but now it had dimmed again.
