On the third day after Base 13 entered a state of war, nearly eighty percent of the team had rushed back, and for a time the base was crowded with people, and the momentum was quite sufficient.

  But the momentum of such a large crowd couldn't hide the panic in everyone's hearts, and many people's faces were filled with worry every day, after all, this was also their first encounter with what was known as a disaster-level anomaly.

  And during this time, as more and more teams returned one after another, the students who had been planted with evil intentions were also being discovered one by one. Each discovery would trigger a wave of unrest and terror.

  After all, you were laughing and chatting with your companion just a second ago, but the next second, the smile at the corner of that companion's mouth slowly tore open and launched a crazy attack on you. That shocking scene was truly too impactful.

  The bizarre degree of this catastrophic anomaly far surpasses those so-called erosion anomalies they had cleared before.

  These days, Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e have also been paying close attention to some purification towers on the outskirts of the base. As a result, one direction of the purification tower is becoming dimmer one by one.

  And constantly approaching the stronghold.

  It's clear that the ultimate goal of that catastrophic alien was indeed their base.

  This undoubtedly makes people feel more oppressed.

  But they had no way out of this either, and could only hold their ground and wait for reinforcements.

  And it was on this day that Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e received the news that Du Ze's Red Lotus team had appeared outside the base.

  Two people received the news and rushed to the entrance of the stronghold immediately, because they had been paying attention to Duzerou's movements all along. After all, in this 13th stronghold, Duzerou's team was second only to Black Swan in terms of strength. If they could also be inside the stronghold, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the defensive power here.

  There is another reason...

  That's the direction Dou Ze and Hong Lian were heading in before, which is exactly opposite to the direction of the giant purification tower that cleanses the alien contamination, one pushing outward and the other moving inward.

  That is to say, if Dazhe Honglian and the others had been a bit bolder, they might have encountered that great calamity's anomaly, and this absolutely wouldn't be good news.

  That great calamity's residual evil thoughts and illusions can have a huge impact, and if they had a head-on collision with Tsurezure Akane and the others, then they would need to be fully on guard against them.

  When the two rushed to the entrance of the base, there was a dispute going on here. Some trainee guardians and a member of the Totsuka Kurenai team were bursting into conflict, constantly scolding each other.

  However, with Jiang Qing's appearance, both sides' shouting stopped.

  "What's going on?" Jiang Qing'e's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, her cold voice carrying some oppressive force.

  "Jiang sister, they came and wanted to force their way through the checkpoint, without going through the 'Laughing Mirror'!" a student guardian said hastily.

  That mirror standing at the entrance of the base is often jokingly referred to as the "Laughing Devil Mirror" by many students, because quite a few students have already become infatuated in front of that mirror.

  Other students also voiced their opposition, after all, in the current situation, everyone within the academy was already on edge, and yet Zhan Honglian and his group still didn't want to follow the rules, wasn't this treating everyone's lives as a joke?

  Jiang Qing'e's sharp gaze fell on a member of the Duzi Honglian team, who was locked in by her gaze and looked somewhat pale, explaining: "These people inexplicably asked us to laugh here for half a day, isn't this harassment?"

  Jiang Qing'e's gaze swept over the group of people, finding that everyone's eyes had a hint of terror, and their entire bodies were emitting an air of desperation.

  Ye Qiudong was also among them, facing Jiang Qing'e's gaze, his complexion somewhat uncertain.

  Jiang Qing'e looked around and finally found that Duzi Honglian was now being carried on the back of a team member, with long hair scattered and an unusually pale face.

  Dou Ze Honglian obviously didn't want to face Jiang Qing'e at her most disheveled, so she hadn't spoken up until now.

  Now she felt Jiang Qing's gaze and could only glare back weakly with some annoyance.

  "How did you get hurt like this?"

  Jiang Qing'e walked forward slowly and arrived in front of Du Ze Honglian, her golden eyes gleaming with a sharp light: "Did you encounter that giant calamity monster?"

  As soon as these words came out, the students around him suddenly exclaimed and took two steps back with their feet.

  Dou Ze Honglian gritted her teeth and said, "It has nothing to do with you!"

  "Originally, who you encountered had nothing to do with me, but that monstrous disaster is about to strike, and anyone contaminated by it must be treated with caution."

  "Jiang Qing'e asked slowly: 'Duzhe Honglian, tell me, have you been polluted?'"

  Dou Ze Hong Lian turned her head away and didn't answer.

  Jiang Qing'e took a glance at the disciple who was carrying Du Ze Honglian, a member of Ye Qiudeng's team. At this moment, his body was slightly trembling and his eyes had a hint of inexplicable fear.

  "Put her down." Jiang Qing'e said suddenly.

  That student heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then put down the weak Dou Ze Honglian. The latter suddenly felt his legs go soft and was about to fall to the ground, but was caught by Jiang Qing'e who stretched out her arm to block him.

  Dou Ze Honglian was almost lying on Jiang Qing'e's body, and she said with some anger: "Jiang Qing'e, what do you want to do?!"

  Jiang Qing'e ignored her and stretched out the tip of her slender finger, tracing it across Du Ze's back, and then she felt a slight stinging sensation transmitted from the tip of her finger.

  This made Jiang Qing'e's eyes slightly condense, and then she ordered a few female students to come over, these female students formed a human circle, surrounding her and Du Ze Honglian, blocking the view from outside.

  Then Jiang Qing'e ignored Du Ze Honglian's struggles, lifted up the back of her shirt, and in the next instant, her golden pupils suddenly contracted.

  The female students who formed a circle around him were even more frightened and screamed, almost running away in fright.

  Because they saw clearly that on Totsuka Reiren's clean back, there was actually a strange smile slowly crawling.

  Jiang Qing'e quickly covered the clothes on Dou Ze Honglian's back, her face looking a bit unsightly. This eerie smile seemed to be branded on Dou Ze Honglian's back, which was apparently more severe than ordinary evil intent contamination.

  "Was it because you were after the academic credits, and then thought to follow that great calamity-level anomaly to get a free purification tower, only to be discovered by it?" Jiang Qing'e said calmly.

  Dou Ze Honglian still didn't say anything.

  "This is the manifestation of the evil intent's power eroding your flesh and blood. Looking at this situation, it won't be long before this evil intent's power will devour your body, and by then you will also become a flesh puppet controlled by that great calamity anomaly."

  Jiang Qing'e gently patted Dou Ze's slender and flexible waist with her palm, saying: "What a pity for this good skin bag, it will soon become bloody and blurred."

  Dou Ze Hong Lian's body trembled slightly, and a hint of fear finally appeared on her delicate face.

  Finally, she used up the remaining strength to grab Jiang Qing'e's wrist, suppressing the sense of humiliation in her heart, and lowered that exceptionally proud head.

  "Jiang, Jiang Qing'e..."

  "Help me!"
