Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 33: Unexpected Incident, Phantom Demon Attack!

After stabilizing his cultivation, Liu Zimo's aura converged, and the golden light that had been emanating from his body instantly disappeared.

Swish!

The entire room, along with the surrounding hallway and courtyard, plunged into darkness once again. Inside the office, there was only a faint flickering candlelight swaying in the wind.

The pupils of Wu Songyang and the other person contracted, and it took them a while to adjust before they could see the scene inside the room illuminated by the candlelight.

Liu Zimo was still sitting cross-legged in place, showing no signs of waking up immediately.

At this time, the sounds of battle in the camp outside had gradually become sparse, with only sporadic gunshots occasionally ringing out.

Obviously, the demonic beasts that had landed in the camp had already been completely wiped out.

After another two minutes or so, the entire camp fell silent.

Little Wang, who had been sent out by Wu Songyang earlier, finally returned and reported back. He was holding a brand new identification card in his hand, as well as a freshly polished metal consultant badge that was still slightly warm to the touch.

This style of consultant badge was unique to the Military Affairs Department and there was only one in the entire department before Hong Yuxun.

With its special material, unique structural design, and the exclusive title, identity information, and identification code of the owner engraved on the back, each badge required meticulous on-site carving and polishing.

Even with the power supply still intact and usable, it would take a considerable amount of time and effort to finely carve such a special consultant badge, let alone now.

"Good, good, good!"

"That Zhao Gang didn't disappoint me! I'll definitely give him credit for this!"

Looking at the brand new consultant badge in front of him without a single flaw, a hint of joy appeared in Wu Songyang's eyes as he exclaimed three "good" in a row.

Finally, it was done!

He knew that Zhao Gang's craftsmanship would definitely not let him down.

Even without computers and corresponding machinery, he could still use the most primitive methods of filing and polishing to complete the task.

Wu Songyang breathed a sigh of relief and took the documents and badge handed over by Little Wang, placing them on the desk in front of him along with the three "Tempering Body Pills" he had obtained from the Martial Arts Library earlier.

Now, with all the procedures in order, everything was settled. Liu Zimo had officially become a member of the Military Affairs Department.

Even if Liu Zimo were to leave the capital in the future, as long as this relationship existed, he would always be the martial arts consultant of the Military Affairs Department.

If there were any problems in the future that needed Liu Zimo's help, Wu Songyang would give him some face.

"Chief of Staff, nearly half of the brothers in the camp have successfully broken through in battle and reached the Tempering Body realm."

Little Wang reported to Wu Songyang in a low voice.

"Among them are three company commanders, five platoon leaders, and more than ten ordinary soldiers. Some of them even directly broke through to the Copper Skin realm!"

"Now everyone's morale is extremely high, clamoring to go out and hunt more demonic beasts!"

Wu Songyang nodded understandingly upon hearing this.

He had already learned about the outbreak of spiritual power from Liu Zimo beforehand, so he wasn't very surprised by the situation of the soldiers collectively breaking through and advancing.

However, compared to Liu Zimo directly breaking through to the Golden Body realm, with the golden light emanating from his body almost illuminating the entire camp, the progress of the soldiers' cultivation seemed less impressive.

It was a pity that Liu Zimo had been concerned about the safety of his family and had no intention of staying in the capital. Otherwise, no matter what, Wu Songyang would never let go of such a promising talent.

"You go and tell Captain Xu... Forget it, I'll go in person. There are some things I need to explain to the soldiers face to face!"

Wu Songyang glanced at Liu Zimo, who was still unconscious, and ordered the two guards in a low voice.

"You two don't need to follow me. Continue to guard here and don't let anyone disturb Advisor Liu's cultivation!"

"Yes!"

Two guards were simultaneously receiving their orders.

Wu Songyang took a step towards the office door. Just as he reached out to open the door, he heard a series of gunshots behind him!

Who fired the shots?!

Doesn't anyone know that this is a critical moment for Liu Guwen to consolidate his cultivation? Why would someone be shooting in the room at this time? What is their intention?!

A sense of foreboding arose in Wu Songyang's heart. He quickly turned around to look inside the room.

He happened to see Xiao Wang, who had just returned to report, holding a heavy machine gun in his arms, ruthlessly spraying bullets towards Liu Zimo, who was still in a meditative state not far away!

The other guard who had been standing next to Xiao Wang was now lying in a pool of blood!

Wu Songyang's face turned pale with shock and anger.

He never expected that his most trusted guard would suddenly betray him and shoot at his comrades!

"Wang Shengli! What are you doing?!!"

A roar of anger erupted from his chest as Wu Songyang swiftly drew the pistol at his waist and aimed it at Xiao Wang.

Before he could shoot, he saw the barrel of Xiao Wang's gun turn, and countless bullets swept towards him horizontally.

The walls and windows around him shattered and broke under the barrage of specially-made bullets, with bricks and wood splinters flying in all directions. Some even struck Wu Songyang's face and body.

"It's over! I'm done for!"

Wu Songyang's heart trembled. As someone who knew the 524 heavy machine gun extremely well, he was well aware of its rate of fire and power.

At such close range, he had no chance of surviving the barrage!

Never did he imagine that he, Wu Songyang, who had lived a life of military service, would ultimately die at the hands of his own comrade!

Just as Wu Songyang's heart sank and he prepared to close his eyes and await death, a golden light suddenly burst forth from the direction where Liu Zimo was.

Boom!

The light was as bright as the sun, as mighty as a divine force!

Wu Songyang only felt his vision brighten and then darken again, and everything around him fell silent.

When he opened his eyes again and adjusted to the current light, he realized that Xiao Wang, who had been spraying bullets at him with the heavy machine gun, was lying on the ground, his life unknown.

And Liu Zimo, who should have been shot and fallen, stood unharmed by his side.

I'm not dead?

Liu Guwen is also alive and well!

Wu Songyang took a deep breath, feeling a sense of surviving a disaster, as if still in a dream.

"Commander Wu, are you alright?" Liu Zimo asked softly with a hint of apology as Wu Songyang regained his senses. "I'm sorry, I didn't react in time..."

"Liu Guwen, there's no need to say anything, I understand it all!"

Without waiting for Liu Zimo to finish speaking, Wu Songyang interrupted him with a guilty expression.

"I should be the one apologizing. I misjudged people and actually kept such a treacherous person by my side. I almost cost Liu Guwen his life!"

Wu Songyang felt overwhelmed with shame. In the end, Liu Zimo was the true victim.

Wu Songyang had seen it clearly just now. Xiao Wang's real intention was to target Liu Zimo.

Although he didn't know why, the fact had already happened, and there was no use in trying to argue.

Liu Zimo shook his head slightly.

"Commander Wu, there's no need to blame yourself. No one wanted something like this to happen, and it wasn't Wang Ge's intention at all. He was just under the control of the Illusion Demon's illusion technique!"

As he spoke, Liu Zimo suddenly looked up and stared sharply at a dark figure under the eaves outside the window.
