Chapter 761: No One is Born Above Others

After Gao Changkong finished speaking those ambiguous words, he ended the call.

But Zhang Yi's pupils abruptly contracted.

No, no no no!

Gao Changkong's words sent chills down his spine. For some reason, his sharp instincts detected something amiss.

Something major must have happened.

His left hand gripped Phoenix Ren's head, frantically absorbing his origin energy.

As expected of a squad leader, Phoenix Ren's origin energy was incredibly abundant.

The sensation of that power flooding into his body made Zhang Yi feel thoroughly rejuvenated.

Even his nearly collapsed dimensional space began rapidly repairing itself.

Perhaps due to absorbing Phoenix Ren's origin energy, the ability toxins left in his dimensional space—the power of Karmic Flames—started gradually dissipating.

Yet Zhang Yi had no time to rejoice. He felt like he'd grasped something, like finding a loose thread in a tangled ball of yarn.

"His tone was too strange. Those aren't words someone so socially adept would say."

"Based on his past behavior, he would have properly congratulated me, not been so dismissive."

"When someone's personality suddenly changes, it's either due to major life trauma—or—"

Zhang Yi sharply raised his head, his pupils slightly contracting under the icy white light.

"They've torn off their long-worn disguise, revealing their true face!"

But what exactly was Gao Changkong planning?

To kill him?

Zhang Yi frowned, doubting Gao Changkong would do that.

It would be meaningless. Even if he killed Zhang Yi, the credit wouldn't go to him.

And he'd completely sever ties with the Jiangnan Region.

Zhang Yi couldn't pinpoint what was off about Gao Changkong, but he now strongly suspected a connection between the Moon of Corrosion incident and Gao Changkong.

This was just an instinctive hunch.

Still, he immediately contacted Blizzard City to report this to Zhu Zheng.

"Gao Changkong seems suspicious—he might be connected to Moon of Corrosion. You should investigate when possible."

Zhu Zheng frowned. "Alright, we'll definitely look into this."

It was already confirmed someone in Blizzard City was colluding with Moon of Corrosion.

But they couldn't rashly conclude who it was yet.

Just then, Yang Xinxin arrived on Hua Hua beside Zhang Yi.

"Brother Zhang Yi, could there be another possibility?"

She tilted her head at him.

Zhang Yi looked up. "Xinxin, what are you thinking?"

Yang Xinxin spoke slowly: "You're at Tianhai City, Tu Yunlie leads the Yan Yun Guard at Huazhou City, and the Reincarnation Squad went to Linhai City."

"Right now, Blizzard City's defenses are at their weakest." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Could something happen inside Blizzard City?"

"Could it involve the Reincarnation Squad?"

The call with Zhu Zheng was still connected, so he heard every word clearly.

Yet Zhu Zheng said: "They're still above Tianhai City—they couldn't possibly be planning that."

"Blizzard City is an iron fortress. Any issues would be easily resolved. Don't worry too much."

But before Zhu Zheng finished speaking, a massive explosion came through the call, nearly bursting Zhang Yi's eardrums.

The communication between them abruptly cut off.

...

"Sometimes I often wonder—why can those important figures always stay above others, deciding life and death?"

"Eventually I realized: it's power! Power is the supreme thing."

"Money, fame, wealth—they're worthless before power."

Gao Changkong smiled as he loaded bullets into his gun, speaking to the Reincarnation Squad members.

"In my basketball career spanning so many years, I achieved success and earned countless honors. They called me a hero."

"But this so-called hero couldn't even secure his parents a chance to live in Blizzard City when the apocalypse came!"

Gao Changkong narrowed his eyes at the massive black high-rise outside.

"From then on, I understood—what's a hero? A hero isn't worth shit before power."

"Justice must be fought for with our own fists!"

"I once wanted to climb up peacefully, gain status, then change this unfair world."

"But they wouldn't even give me that chance. So now, I'll speak to them my way!"

The alloy doors before them slowly opened.

The Reincarnation Squad members stepped out one by one.

Dressed in combat suits, they stood before the Operations Command Center's main building.

The guards at the entrance saluted them with smiles.

"Captain Gao, you're back so soon! Mission accomplished?"

"I knew no mission could defeat you!"

Facing the enthusiastic guards, Gao Changkong walked forward with a smile.

Though they were fully armed for combat, no one stopped them.

Because the Reincarnation Squad were Blizzard City's heroes.

Who would suspect their protectors?

Yet something felt off.

Shouldn't the Reincarnation Squad be hundreds of kilometers away at Linhai City?

Why were they suddenly here?

A guard downstairs pondered, then reported this upstairs.

When Lan Xincheng received the news, he was stunned.

"What? The Reincarnation Squad is at the Command Center?"

Zhu Zheng also stood up in shock. "The Reincarnation Squad? Weren't they still above Tianhai City? How are they here?"

Staff had already pulled up the first-floor surveillance footage.

Undoubtedly, it was the Reincarnation Squad members!

Led by Gao Changkong, all nine members were present.

Only one was missing.

"How are they here? What's going on?"

Zhu Zheng suddenly recalled Zhang Yi's warning.

The Reincarnation Squad might have betrayed Blizzard City!

Cold sweat poured down Lan Xincheng's forehead: "The missing one is Chen Xiaozheng, codename [Chameleon]. He can perfectly mimic anything."

Zhu Zheng gritted his teeth and roared: "Damn it! The group that went to Linhai City were fakes! The real Reincarnation Squad never left Blizzard City!"

Yes, the Reincarnation Squad had been here all along, never leaving.

Only the Celestial Hound Squad and Tu Yunlie's Yan Yun elites had departed.

Their intentions needed no further speculation now.

Zhu Zheng immediately bellowed: "Don't let them upstairs! Activate the building's security system immediately and summon all city guards for backup!"

The building's exterior walls were instantly encased in thick special metal plates.

Simultaneously, corridors and staircases on every floor were sealed by dozens of heavy metal doors.

Piercing red alarms blared.

The Operations Command Center had the highest-level defense measures.

Once fully activated, even high-level empowered individuals couldn't breach it quickly.
