Fang Qingyu's eyes were calm, without any hesitation, he slowly nodded, his voice not loud, yet clearly transmitted to Wu Yu's ears:

"Go."

...

The top floor of the Qingjian City Divine Management Bureau Building.

Inside the combat room codenamed "Rock Solid," the atmosphere was as heavy as solid lead.

The huge circular conference table was almost filled.

In addition to the core high-level officials of the Qingjian City Divine Management Bureau headquarters and the captains of various elite teams, there were also a dozen unfamiliar faces with a weary air.

They were emergency support forces deployed from nearby cities.

But because the situation in Songdu City was more urgent, the number of people who came was not many.

The main seat naturally belonged to Director Wu Yu.

In front of him was the bloodstained black intelligence device, connected to high-speed analysis equipment, projecting the data that the Fenghuo Squad exchanged with their lives onto the gigantic holographic screen in the middle of the meeting room.

Fang Qingyu sat at a position behind Wu Yu on his right-hand side, with Qin Hui, Old Qiao, Qi Hao, and Lv Chen seated further out, while Jiang Wei quietly sat on a chair beside Fang Qingyu, sipping hot milk.

At the other end of the conference table, close to the support forces area, one figure was particularly striking.

A woman dressed in a matte-black combat suit with no insignia, tall and upright, her waist-length black hair, like fine silk, was simply tied at the back of her head, a few strands falling to outline her perfectly sculpted side profile.

Sitting there, without any unnecessary movements, not even looking at anyone, she just quietly stared at the flowing data on the holographic screen, like a perfect yet cold jade sculpture.

Some among the support team stole glances at her, their eyes filled with awe or curiosity, but she seemed unaware.

She looked at no one, as if everything around her was unrelated to her.

"Everyone is here." Wu Yu's deep voice broke the silence, carrying an indisputable authority, also with a hint of heaviness. "Time is tight, no more words. Captain Fang brought back crucial intelligence, exchanged for by Fenghuo Squad with their lives. Now, I'll synchronize it with you."

He tapped the console, and the holographic screen instantly lit up, complex energy spectra, blurred image fragments, and biological structure analysis diagrams frantically rolling, finally freezing on several core images.

Wu Yu pointed to a large flashing red dot at the center of the screen, "Target 'Mother Nest,' Sinful Embryo Level Peak, one step away from molting. Initially codenamed 'Abyssal Weaver,' its core nest location is not deep within the Old Harbor District, but here."

"Deep beneath Central Park in Qingjian City!"

"Nest depth estimated to exceed 300 meters, with a complex structure, mixed with special biological mucus and devoured building materials secreted by it, resembling a giant underground beehive."

Wu Yu's voice was icy.

"As for the swarm, the Fenghuo intelligence and Captain Fang's personal experience confirm that they have completely occupied the entire force field area. The quantity cannot be accurately counted, with diverse species, possessing strong environmental adaptability, collaborative combat capability, and regeneration ability. The core area's swarm level is higher, the threat is significant."

"Now the entire force field is both its breeding ground and hunting field."

The screen then switched to an extremely blurry image.

Only a massive, suffocatingly large outline could be seen, the main body resembling a giant, pulsating dark purple tumor covered in layers of metallic-sheened deep purple carapace.

Numerous thick, dark red ducts like veins and nerve bundles extended from the tumor, deeply embedded in the surrounding rock layers and ruins.

"This is the preliminary analysis and judgment of the Abyssal Weaver's main body."

"Main body diameter exceeds fifty meters, its surface covered with deep purple carapace, possessing extremely high physical defense and energy resistance. The Fenghuo Squad's attempted strikes were practically ineffective."

"And those extending ducts are not only fixed structures but also organs for it to absorb energy and convert materials into its own energy and incubation feed."

"Next, is the most troublesome ability of this Life Ghost!"

"Spiritual Network, it seems to be able to establish a spiritual network covering the entire force field via some form of bioelectrical signal or pheromones, exerting absolute control over all insect-type Life Ghosts. Low tier swarms are mere cannon fodder, while high tier swarms can execute complex tactics."

Everyone watching frowned deeply.

This was not just a matter of dealing with one Life Ghost, but an entire army of tens of thousands of Life Ghosts!

The image continued to switch, showing an even blurrier image.

One could vaguely see a figure in a Divine Management Bureau uniform, tightly wrapped in countless dark purple, luminescent sticky threads like a massive cocoon, suspended above the core tumor.

Countless tiny energy streams connected like blood vessels from the "cocoon" to the underlying main body.

"Team Leader Lin!" Duan Ling's voice was filled with uncontrollable trembling and pain.

"Confirmed." Wu Yu's voice also carried a slight hoarseness, "Team Leader Lin was captured after being severely injured. The Abyssal Weaver did not kill him immediately but turned him into a 'Living Energy Source'!"

"Rest assured, Captain Duan, rescuing Team Leader Lin and destroying the Mother Nest are two sides of the same objective!"

The final thing displayed on the screen was the twisted spiral eyeball emblem Fang Qingyu brought back.

"This time inside the force field, many people also encountered an armed force calling itself the 'Poisonous Snake' of the 'Creation Technology Company' external operation team."

Wu Yu's gaze swept across the room, pausing on Fang Qingyu and the woman, "They were well-equipped, with members modified using Life Ghost materials as Martial Artists, acting ruthlessly, carrying poison to ensure their demise. Their target was also the insect mother, claiming to 'cooperate with the research team to collect samples'."
