Then let them offer their loyalty!

The former proved that it was intelligent enough, while the latter proved that it was a truly high-end combat force.

In either case, the shelter will take it very seriously.

Combined with the large amount of disaster-related materials obtained from the "Boundless Heart Sea"...

Guan Xiao inexplicably felt that Qiu Tu was really only one step away from becoming the vice speaker!

'Isn't this a bit too much?'

To be honest, even as Qiu Tu's closest confidante, Guan Xiao felt that Qiu Tu's promotion was too fast, so fast that she felt like she was dreaming.

If there's anything in this plan that makes her feel insecure, it's probably Qiu Tu's abilities.

The number of vice-speaker positions is actually full, and the division of responsibilities has already been done.

To charge forward like Tang Feifei, one's strength must be exceptionally high, meaning reaching pseudo-fourth tier...

Looking at it this way, Guan Xiao realized that it was absolutely flawless...

However, regardless of the circumstances, if Qiu Tu is indeed promoted to vice speaker, then his cronies will undoubtedly benefit the most.

After all, judging from past experience, Qiu Tu has never hesitated to promote his cronies!

This can be seen from the fact that Guan Xiao rose from a section chief to the head of the political department in just a few months.

Thinking this, Guan Xiao's smile brightened considerably. She winked at Qiu Tu with her peach blossom eyes and said, "Sir~~ I'm a little tempted."

Do you have any import/export business opportunities available for others?

Qiu Tu:.......

This little glutton... is much more interesting than the black cat in my arms.

.......

Because the task of capturing spies and informants was assigned to other agencies.

Therefore, Qiu Tu only needs to sit back and wait for things to develop.

This allows him to focus more of his energy on the "Boundless Ocean of the Heart Project" and the whale shark, preparing for a forced promotion to vice speaker...

It was at night, after I got off work.

Qiu Tu flipped the world and arrived at the "Boundless Heart Sea - New Territories Area".

As the world changed, what came into his view was a small underground base.

The base is not large, only a little over a thousand square meters, and is entirely constructed of stone. The four walls and the dome are all made of stones of different sizes and shapes, tightly stacked together.

The central area is a plaza, surrounded by cabins and passageways that lead directly to several areas filled with disaster materials.

Inside that small underground base, dark soldiers were transporting supplies.

A rough count already shows two or three hundred people.

These are the items that Qiu Tu collected and accumulated over time by regularly visiting the morgue.

After Qiu Tu advanced to the third tier, he awakened his second cataclysmic ability, "Dark Legion." (Chapter 364)

This cataclysmic ability allows him to revive the souls of corpses that have been dead for no more than 10 days, so that they can fight for him!

This would allow him to possess his own unique military force!

This is key to Qiu Tu establishing his own order outside the shelter system. It is also a secret weapon for him during times of crisis!

Therefore, he valued this ability immensely ever since he acquired it. Every few days, he would make a trip to the morgue, resurrecting some physically strong agents and criminals to become his dark soldiers.

After two months, he gradually built up his own team.

In order to train his dark soldiers and to advance himself to the position of "vice speaker," Qiu Tu has recently built an underground base for them.

They were given the task of collecting disaster relief materials and other resources.

Perhaps because they are tireless and somewhat lacking in intelligence, the Dark Soldiers are extremely efficient.

This is also the basis for Qiu Tu's conclusion that collecting resources in three days is equivalent to other high-level officials collecting resources in one month.

More importantly, the strength and intelligence of the Dark Soldiers are determined by a variety of factors, including the time of their death, the intensity of their emotions, and the price Qiu Tu paid.

Therefore, Qiu Tu's forces are not all ordinary dark soldiers.

Besides the initial batch of 78 Tier 1 Cataclysms he resurrected, he also resurrected four more ordinary Cataclysms during this period.

More importantly... because during this time, the case of the "United Front Special Forces" attacking and killing Lai Shun was finally closed.

The entire "United Special Forces" were sentenced to death and executed immediately.

So... Qiu Tu now has four more Tier 2 and one more Tier 3 Dark Soldiers at his disposal.

In order to preserve the strength of these five people, Qiu Tu has spent almost all of his mental energy after advancing to the fourth-tier Cataclysm on them these past few days.

The "Dark Legion" ability is indeed powerful, but it also consumes a huge amount of resources.

Fortunately, Qiu Tu has advanced to the pseudo-fourth rank. If he were still only at the peak of the third rank, then... just reviving Wu Yun, this third-rank dark soldier, would probably have drained his mental and life force.

However, regardless of the cost, Qiu Tu's Dark Legion has finally taken shape and gained a certain level of combat power.

At least... dealing with the whale's vassal, the amberjack, shouldn't be a problem.

Thinking this, after arriving at the underground base, Qiu Tu softly called out, "Fire Flame".

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's call, a phantom figure appeared out of thin air in front of Qiu Tu.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, he knelt on one knee and called out, "Brother Tu."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, then asked, "How's things going with the whale sharks?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhu Huoyan said, "Brother Tu, the 'Captain' is still tracking them."

"He just sent a message an hour ago that the whale sharks seem to be marking the leyline nodes one by one. They've already marked the 68th one."

"There are 13 more to go before they are all marked."

"But even now, we still don't understand what he's doing."

The "captain" is Wu Yun, the captain of the joint special forces team that attacked Lai Shun at the time, whose strength is at the third level.

Besides him, there was a blond-haired man, a girl with glasses, a young man with an earring, and an old man with yellow teeth.

Although Qiu Tu resurrected them at almost no cost and nearly preserved their strength, some of their memories are still missing.

So Qiu Tu simply gave them code names: "Captain," "Yellow Hair," "Mirror Girl," "Earring," and "Old Man."

Because they were comrades in life and continued to cooperate well in death, Qiu Tu simply formed them into a new special operations team and had them carry out missions together.

And of course, only they are capable of carrying out this mission to monitor the fourth-tier evil god whale.

To avoid alerting the enemy, the other four members of the special operations team monitored and investigated the movements of the boat.

Only Wu Yun himself followed the whale.

Because the Dark Soldiers naturally blend into the shadows and have no life fluctuations, even though the two are a whole level apart in strength, the whale shark still couldn't detect the "Captain".

After listening to Zhu Huoyan's report, Qiu Tu nodded slightly and then asked, "How's the collection of catastrophe materials going?"

Zhu Huoyan said, "The collection went fairly smoothly."

"Because you found the 'Crystal Staghorn Fern' spot, Brother Tu, we opened a third resource gathering point, so the gathering speed has slightly increased."

"I believe that we can collect enough resources in just one more month."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, then encouraged them, "You guys did a good job. How's your cultivation with the 'Boundless Divine Crystal' going?"

The people Qiu Tu mentioned were six trusted confidants, including "Zhu Huoyan," "Ashui," and "Datou."

In order to follow Qiu Tu, they participated in the "Suicide Squad Project," but died due to the side effects of the "Cataclysmic Awakening Potion."

They proved their courage and loyalty to Qiu Tu with their lives. So after Qiu Tu resurrected them, he directly put them in charge of his Dark Legion.

Now that the Dark Legion is on the right track, Qiu Tu rewarded them with some "Boundless Divine Crystals" to aid their cultivation.

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhu Huoyan quickly replied, "The 'Boundless Divine Crystal' is indeed a good thing."

"After we absorbed it, we felt that our souls and memories were much more complete, and our strength also improved to varying degrees."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Ah Shui, who has made the most progress, broke through to the second tier yesterday."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly upon hearing this. These dark soldiers were one of his most important trump cards. Moreover, because they had shared life and death with him, their loyalty to him was almost absolute. Therefore, spending resources on them was still worthwhile...

"What a huge loss! This is such a huge loss!"

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu was quietly developing in the "Boundless Heart Sea - New Territories Region," secretly establishing his own system and order...

New Territories.

Ellie stood outside a brightly lit villa, watching the Special Operations agents file in to arrest Zhou, the Deputy Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the New Territories City Council... She looked at Yan Yan and Xue Er beside her with a resentful expression.

"I've never made such a bad deal before!"

"You have no idea how ruthlessly Qiu Tu schemed against me!"

Upon hearing Ellie's words, Cher, dressed in a white mink coat, stood there, yawning and gazing at the noisy villa, without responding.

Seeing this, Yan Yan could only take the initiative to speak, "How did Qiu Tu scheme against you this time?"

Ellie didn't care about Xue'er's perfunctory attitude. When she heard Yan Yan speak, she simply explained the situation.

Of course, since Xue'er was there, she also used the "academic" rhetoric, concealing the fact that she had lost the bet to Qiu Tu.

After listening to Ellie's explanation, Yan Yan pondered for a moment, then analyzed for Ellie, "Actually... this is not a trap. It's more like an open scheme."

"Qiu Tu didn't lie to you. Eliminating those anti-government armed groups and extremist religious spies in advance will greatly help the New Territories City and Speaker Wong's plans."

"And once it's done, it'll be a significant achievement."

"It's also easy to get commendation from Speaker Hwang."

"But... such a big move is easy to make mistakes and easy to offend people."

"But...on the other hand," Yan Yan's innocent face was full of seriousness, "if you're afraid of offending people, then what's the point of doing anything?"

"This is actually an opportunity for you."

"If you can really do this well, it will not only add a great touch to your resume, but also improve your skills."

As expected of Yan Chen's daughter, Yan Yan sees things very clearly.

Upon hearing this, Ellie also fell into deep thought.

Actually... this principle isn't complicated, it's quite simple. It's just that her antagonistic relationship with Qiu Tu prevented her from seeing it clearly.

Now that her "own person" Yan Yan has pointed it out to her, she suddenly feels that this operation may not be so bad after all.

'So... does Qiu Tu still have my best interests at heart?'

For a moment, Ellie even wondered if she had been brainwashed.

So she stood there, gazing at the villa, momentarily lost in thought.

Seeing her like this, Yan Yan reached out and hugged Xue'er, wrapped the fur coat around Xue'er, and then said to Ellie, "Besides... I don't think things are necessarily as bad as you think."

"You feel like you've offended someone. But... are you sure Colonel Lin from the military and Committee Member Jiang from the city hall are really brainless people?"

"Are they really that easily provoked?"

Meanwhile, at the military headquarters.

"Fuck them! How many of us have they arrested?"

Lin Chuan stood in his office, hands on his hips, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, looking more like a thug than a high-ranking officer.

Opposite him was his adjutant.

Upon hearing Lin Chuan's question, the adjutant wiped his sweat and replied, "There are at least twenty people."

"Among them were three majors, and even one lieutenant colonel."

Upon hearing his adjutant's words, Lin Chuan slammed his fist on the table in anger!

"They didn't even give me a heads-up! Isn't this a deliberate attempt to intimidate me?"
