After the Shadow Guard disappeared, he was once again the only one left in the factory that produced weapons such as Source Energy Bullets, and there was a dead silence.

Glancing at a few corners of the factory, he found that the shadow guard was hiding quite well, and he couldn't find it if he didn't pay attention, Zhou Guan nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and left the factory.

Originally, no one was allowed here at night, and the source energy bullets were only produced during the day, not because of the eight-hour workday, but because it was not necessary.

After leaving the source energy factory, Zhou Guan walked for a while, and then walked into a courtyard with a "Research Institute" sign hanging at the door.

After more than a dozen guards, both light and covert, he entered the building that was originally the chemistry school of a certain university, but now the research institute.

Although it was already night, the building was still brightly lit, and after entering the building, I saw many people coming and going, many people wearing white coats, pins pinned to their chests, and holding information folders and other things in their hands.

Zhou Guan went all the way unimpeded and directly passed through the words "High-power Source Energy Weapon Laboratory", "Zerg Origin Exploration", "Super Rice Version 4.0 Improvement Group", "About Source Energy Weapons", "Otherworld Shuttle Theory Research Project Team", "Counterattack Insect Realm Possibility Deduction Laboratory", "Shuttle Time and Space Advance Disaster Prevention Method Research Laboratory", ...... The reason why no one came out to inquire or stop the room was not because they all knew Zhou Guan, but because of the iconic fiery red beetle on his body that only the Flame Army was allowed to wear!

Compared to the dazzling flame beetle, his signature star-embellished silver mask, his long dark purple hair was not noticed by many people.

He walked deeper and deeper, and there were fewer and fewer people around him, until he was the only one walking in the hallway, and he also went up to the top floor, the fourth floor of the building.

After reaching the fourth floor, he did not hesitate and walked straight forward, until there was already a wall in front of him, he stopped, then turned and opened an iron door and walked in.

Behind the iron door was not a secret research room, but a desk with a pile of gun parts on the table, and a sign that read "Director of the Institute".

After glancing at the things on the table, Zhou Guan made an unexpected move, he walked directly to the left side of the table, and then slammed his head against the wall!

There was no imaginary thump of a bang, as if the wall was just a phantom and did not exist, and Zhou Guan's entire body disappeared directly through the wall.

By the time the feeling of crossing the water that he had experienced many times on his body disappeared, Zhou Guan had already appeared at the door of a room that was no different from the rooms he had passed by, but there was no sign hanging on the door in front of him, just a bare door.

Knock!

After knocking lightly on the door three times, Zhou Guan put down and waited quietly.

After about ten seconds, there was a click on the door, and then a wooden board was pulled open to reveal a pair of large eyes, which disappeared after two seconds, and the wooden board closed, and there was a click of the door opening.

"I don't have time to open the door, let's push in myself!" a voice inside said.

Zhou Guan looked at the doorknob on the door, then kicked the door open, and then the muzzles of the black holes were like fireworks, directly stretched out, aimed at his whole body, a red alarm light came out of the ceiling overhead, the alarm bell rang, and at the same time, a mechanical synthesized voice shouted loudly, "Intruder found! Intruder found!

Click-

Zhou Guan stretched out his right index finger to block a gun barrel and then the alarm stopped abruptly, the red alarm light retracted to the ceiling, all the barrels were retracted to the door, and then the door closed.

After another three seconds, a piece of the floor next to Zhou Guan cracked, revealing the white steps below.

This time, Zhou Guan did not make any more violations of the attempt, and walked in directly.

With each step, a crystal lamp lit up above his head to illuminate the steps ahead, and when he was done, he appeared in a huge space the size of two or three football fields!

"Start Permission Check...... Permission check complete!"

"Permission approved!Your permission is first-class permission!All facilities of this institute will be open to you!Welcome to your visit!Fire Cloud Evil God ......"

"It's finally over~" Zhou Guan knocked on his mask, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I'm digging a pit myself, and I've pitted myself?"

Obviously, the building on the ground with the sign "Research Institute" on it was just a façade to study things that were not very important, or simply impossible.

For example, what is the "Time and Space Advance Disaster Prevention Method Research Laboratory", "Counterattack Insect Realm Possibility Deduction Laboratory", it looks bluffing, very shocking, but in fact, it is something that someone came up with in a flash of inspiration (a twitch of the head), it is completely empty, bluffing, and only the research on rice yield increase methods, super corn, super rice, bread trees and other new crop seeds, various insect structures, weakness research, etc. are true.

It's just a trap to fool those who come to steal research results and steal data.

The reason why those things are put on it is because Jinling doesn't care about those things being taken out, and it can even be said that he acquiesces in some things being taken out.

The only people who can think of stealing things in the research room can only be humans from other places, although as long as they want to be closed, they don't mind giving them directly, but there are always some people who are used to the end of the world, and begin to feel that other people are ill-intentioned or selfish, and think that Jinling will definitely not give others precious seeds that can grow a lot of food, or are unwilling to pay that little price, so they decided to be a "gentleman on the beam" in order to live in the city where they live can be fed and live a better life.

Although Zhou Guan is a little speechless for such people, he will also satisfy them, isn't it just a seed? Just give it to him, anyway, in the end, it will also enter the womb of a human being.

But if someone is not satisfied, or simply comes for something, then Zhou Guan will not have such a good temper.

With the "director's" office as the dividing line, after that, it is a step by step killing machine, as long as they make a mistake, there is only one ending waiting for them, death.

Zhou Guan knocked on the mask on his face, although those levels were set up by himself, but after setting them up, he was so busy that he didn't expect that it would be so troublesome for him to walk in person!

Trouble is trouble, but he has no regrets, because what is hidden here deserves a tighter defense.

He stepped forward, and on either side of him were glass counters, in which were placed precious things, high-grade insect crystals that shone with a dreamy and intoxicating light, the surface was broken and full of rust, but in fact, they were extremely high-level magical equipment, high-level weapons, all kinds of knives, guns, weapons.

The trophies placed here are all from the countless battles with the Zerg and the Abyss Clan before, although only a part of it has been distributed to the people who used it and turned it into the combat power of the Jinling defenders.

Judging from these astonishing numbers of weapons and equipment, we can know the dangers that Jinling has suffered in the past two years, and the specific number of invasions Zhou Guan has been incomprehensible, but the city wall was breached, and Jinling was almost destroyed and people died three times!

His eyes quickly swept over the various weapons that had been snatched from the hands of the high-ranking corpses and royal skeletons, and then his gaze was on a cabinet that was larger than the other glass cabinets, and inside was a giant bone arm composed of red crystals that was three meters long!

It was a terrifying giant hand that suddenly poked down from the sky when a corpse tide attacked Jinling half a year ago, and it almost toppled down the strong city wall of Jinling in an instant, and finally everyone worked together to repel it, but only one of its hands was left.

The previous battle scene flashed in his mind, Zhou Guan looked away from the huge arm and continued to move forward, with the insect crystal in front of him, there were already a lot fewer weapons, more parts left from the incoming enemies like the red bone giant arm, what green dragon wings, iron spiny back dragon's tail, one-third of the body of the black sky demon insect, etc., countless.

He left the museum-like exhibition hall and continued down from the elevator in the middle of the space to the lower floor.

This floor is different from the huge space where various equipment, weapons, and enemy bodies are lined up like an exhibition hall, the space on this floor is a little smaller, not as empty as before, and the overall circular space is divided into many spaces around the elevator that is closed around the high-strength glass, and the doors of each space are hung with their own names that look more like a research institute.

Indeed, although this underground space located more than 100 meters underground of the research institute can be said to be a secret research institute, this is the place where the real research is located.

Zhou Guan stepped off the elevator and immediately someone greeted him.

"War Master, you're here!" The person who greeted him was dressed as a flame army wearing a fiery red insect armor, Zhou Guan glanced at his shoulders, and found that there were two golden five-stars on them and nodded, but his heart flashed the rank division within the Red Flame Army.

The Flame Army is different from the situation of only twelve people two years ago, the scale has already expanded, I don't know how many times, there are more internal levels, and the system naturally has to be clearly divided, so Zhou Guan divided the Red Flame Army into thirteen teams, the captain of each team is served by Su Hao, Zhuang Qiang and other first batch of Red Flame Army, and they selected some people to help them manage the team, these people are the squadron leader, the captain, and each squadron leader selects a number of squad leaders to manage their own team members, so Zhuang Qiang, they only need to manage those squadron leaders, the squadron leader manages the squad leader, and the squad leader manages the ordinary Red Flame army members, which not only saves a lot of trouble, but also makes the organization, the system level more reasonable。

And the five-pointed star on the insect armor of each Flame Army is their level, generally the shoulders of newcomers who have just joined the Red Flame Army are empty, indicating that they are newcomers or reserves, and then after accumulating a certain amount of merit, there will be an extra star on the shoulder, indicating the first level, and then slowly accumulating, and when there are two stars, it is the second level, which belongs to the backbone of the Red Flame Army.

Three stars is the third level is basically the squad leader level,,Five stars is the squadron leader level,Five stars is the apex,If you go up here, the ordinary killing feats are not enough to continue to upgrade.,Because from here on, the challenge system is adopted.,Because the position of the squadron leader is limited.,If you want to become a squadron leader, you can only apply to challenge a squadron leader.,If you succeed, the five stars on your shoulder will be replaced by a promotion squadron leader.,If you fail, you will draw a knife mark on the left chest and then return to your position until the next challenge. 。

If you have to say that there is a sixth-level Red Flame Army, then the person who has challenged the squadron leader is the sixth-level Red Flame Army, and the knife mark on their chest is the sixth mark, because the system of the Red Flame Army does not specifically divide the so-called sixth-level.

Squadron Leader ranks are no longer divided by rank, in order to distinguish them from ordinary Tier 1 to Tier 5, they will wear a Source Energy Crystal badge engraved with the word Pyro on their chest, and they will also wear a cloak painted with a flapping winged three-legged crow behind them, as for the Captain...... Unfortunately, there is no way to get promoted, at least not yet.

Maybe when a captain dies in battle, a new captain may appear~ As for being directly promoted from the Flame Army, or directly appointed by Zhou Guan, the Flame Army Master, it is unknown.

"Please take me to the gray wolf," Zhou Guan said softly to the second-level flame army in front of him.

"Yes, military master!" Although Zhou Guan said politely, he didn't dare to really feel that he was really equal to Zhou Guan's status.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, as the legendary fire cloud evil god, although Zhou Guan has always been relatively low-key, and rarely shows up except on the battlefield, but the people in Jinling know how terrible his prestige and strength are!

"What's your name?" the two walked briskly through the glass corridor, Zhou Guan suddenly retracted his gaze and asked softly.

"Report to the military master, my name is Xie Wendong!" The flame army was full of excitement, subconsciously stopped, his whole body tensed, his chest was straightened, his right hand and five fingers were together, he raised it to his head, saluted, and said loudly.

"Don't be so nervous~Put it down~" Seeing the serious and nervous appearance of the flame army in front of him, Zhou Guan was a little dumbfounded.

"Xie Wendong~Well, I remember you!When the dragon clan invaded half a month ago, one shot exploded a two-headed flying dragon's eyes, and the sharpshooter is you~" Zhou Guan said with a smile.

"Yes!" Xie Wendong blushed and saluted again.

"But I'm just lucky......"

"I said don't be so nervous!Take it easy~ It's just a simple chat! It's rude for me not to salute you like this!" Zhou Guan replied helplessly.

"Report to the military master! I'm not nervous at all!" Xie Wendong replied loudly.

"Uh...... Forget it~Whatever you want~" Looking at Xie Wendong's flushed face and slightly trembling body, Zhou Guan knocked on his face, and was a little speechless, he really just felt that the atmosphere was dull and wanted to say a few words.

Since talking by yourself makes people uncomfortable, then it's better not to say it.

And the reason for this embarrassing atmosphere is also clear in their hearts, it is nothing more than that the status gap between them is too great.

Although Zhou Guan has always been very low-key, he basically won't show up unless necessary, and he looks very mysterious, people only know that he has long purple hair, and he wears a silver star mask on his face, but what he does is well known, forming the Red Flame Army, fighting against the Insect Realm, the Abyss Realm and the Dragon Realm, reorganizing the guard team, and fighting all crimes including the Awakened, and maintaining order in the city...... It can be said that every thing that has a major impact on Jinling City is directly or indirectly promoted by him.

Human beings always need heroes and role models to support themselves to survive in difficult environments in the apocalypse, although Zhou Guan said more than once that Jinling City can only survive the siege of the doomsday insect tide, the sea of corpses, and the dragons with the joint efforts of all the awakened, soldiers, police, and even all ordinary people.

He Zhou Guan did very little, or even just a trivial thing, but the masses didn't care about this, they only saw Zhou Guan's contribution to Jinling City and his extremely dazzling performance in countless battles, whether Zhou Guan was willing or unwilling, they all regarded Zhou Guan as a banner and benchmark of Jinling City!

In most people's eyes, as long as Zhou Guan is still standing on the wall of Jinling, no matter how turbulent the attacking monster is, the insect tide is not to be afraid!

Even if these are not considered, it is impossible to treat him calmly just from the identity of Xie Wendong Chiyan Army, and even being able to talk calmly like this is already considered to be his excellent psychological quality!

The title of "Commander"?

A low-level second-class (second-class) who has seen the absolute supreme commander of his own organization, is extremely mysterious, and it is said that the object of his worship that few people have seen except for the captain of the brigade can still remain calm!

Although Zhou Guan did not directly proclaim himself the city lord like Yang An and Ye Qing, what is the difference between him and the city lord in Jinling?

The difference is just a name, in fact, there have long been awakened people who feel that he should be the self-proclaimed city lord, and there are not a few people who have this kind of mentality, but unfortunately Zhou Guan is really not interested in being a city lord, he is very disdainful of Yang An's behavior, how could he embark on that road by himself?

For him, there is actually no benefit to being a city lord except for making himself shackled, and if he really wants to do anything in Jinling today, who can stop him?

Not to mention the Red Flame Army, the main force defending Jinling now, the Sichengwei was founded by him, and the reason why the army still exists is also indispensable to his support, the weapons they use are all provided by themselves, and even the guard troops responsible for maintaining law and order, which can theoretically compete with the Sichengwei, were also promoted by him?

Three of the four captains of the guard force were recommended by him, and the remaining one was not recommended by him, but he was born in the military, and it is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Guan has no ambition to be the city lord, but if he changes someone, the current Jinling is probably a different look.

"You...... Come on~ I hope that the next time I see you, you will have two more stars on your shoulder!" Zhou Guan, who walked to his destination in embarrassment, turned around and patted Xie Wendong's shoulder encouragingly, then pushed open the door and walked in.

"The military master doesn't seem to be the same as I thought?" Covering his shoulders and looking at Zhou Guan's figure, Xie Wendong subconsciously thought about it when it was blocked by the closed door, and then silently stood outside the door.
