"Urgent notice, the base energy center has experienced a short circuit and is paralyzed, and there is a temporary power outage. The cause is unknown. All departments are requested to strengthen their vigilance and not panic."

An emergency notice issued by the superior department was transmitted to everyone's communicator.

In the corridor leading to the base hospital, some temporarily dispatched defense troops lined up and trotted along.

In the darkness, a black figure turned out from a corner, passed through the gap in the queue, and walked all the way towards the hospital.

At the entrance to the hospital's observation area, several security guards held rifles in their hands and watched the situation around them with vigilance.

"Stop! Entering the observation area requires a warrant from the commander's department!"

A guard was the first to spot the strangely dressed black figure.

However, the black shadow did not seem to be affected by the guards and continued to walk towards the target.

"Hey! Who is this! Stop immediately!"

Several other guards also raised their guns and gathered around.

"Sh-"

The black shadow suddenly stood up and raised his head, revealing only a pair of deep eyes on his masked face.

He put his finger in front of his lips to signal everyone to be silent.

"Well-"

Several guards were instantly choked by an invisible force and were speechless.

The rifles in their hands suddenly twisted and deformed, and the barrel was stretched very long, turning into a sharp steel pipe, making a bend in the air, and stabbing towards their own throats.

"Plop-"

The bodies of several guards fell one after another, and the black shadow passed through them and went straight to the door of the observation room.

—————————————————————————————————————

"boom-"

The door was kicked open, and a dark figure walked into the observation room and glanced around.

It's also pitch black here.

However, there were subtle footsteps on the flank, which sounded like a girl's steps.

"ha-"

Sure enough, the next second, with a delicate cry, a figure jumped out of the darkness, stabbing him with sharp scissors.

The black shadow turned around to avoid the sudden blow. At the same time, he turned his eyes and the girl in the nurse uniform flew out.

"Danglang-"

The scissors fell to the ground slumped.

The dark shadow walked towards the bed, where a man was standing up, getting ready to go.

"who are you?"

Zhou Zhao clenched his fists and stared at the visitor.

"you do not need to know."

The black shadow raised his hand and picked up Yunli, who had barely fallen to the ground.

The latter was controlled obediently like a weak little white rabbit, with his feet on the ground, standing beside Zhou Zhao.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, but something happened suddenly and I had to do it."

Black Shadow explained.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Zhou Zhao subconsciously blocked Yun Li behind him.

"There is a traitor in this base. I don't know who he is."

The black shadow said something astonishing.

"traitor?"

Zhou Zhao's eyes became blurred, and Yun Li turned pale with shock.

"But I only know the purpose of this traitor lurking in the Sky Shield, which is to use the power of superheroes to help him collect the seven Sky-Mending Stones."

The shadow continued to tell.

"The Sky Mending Stone? What is that?"

Zhou Zhao looked confused.

"It's a long story, but all you need to know is that once his conspiracy succeeds, humanity will be on the road to destruction."

The shadow shook his head, seemingly unwilling to explain more.

"But if you killed the guard at the door, you are not a good person either."

Yun Li shouted righteously.

"Huh, maybe. But for the future of mankind, some sacrifices are necessary."

Black Shadow responded.

"Why are you telling me this? I'm just an outsider."

Zhou Zhao was puzzled.

"Precisely because you are an outsider, you are the most reliable. The only thing I can be sure of now is that you are not the traitor."

Black Shadow said.

"indeed so."

Zhou Zhao nodded.

At this time, the black shadow looked at Yunli again.

"So is this nurse a traitor?"

As he spoke, his fingertips moved slightly.

"Wait a minute, Yunli is a good person. I guarantee with my life that she will never betray the Sky Shield!"

Zhou Zhao immediately stopped him.

"However, she looks innocent and innocent, and she might be taken advantage of!"

The black shadow said helplessly.

"I, I will not be used by others. I swear to keep this secret until the traitor is found!"

Yunli immediately promised.

"Well, then I will trust you once. Remember, you must always be wary of everyone in this base."

After the black shadow finished speaking, he turned around and left the house.

Only two people, a man and a woman, were left standing beside the bed with shocked expressions on their faces.

"Are you okay, Miss Yun, are you injured?"

Zhou Zhao reacted and asked with concern.

"fine."

Yun Li's face turned slightly pale due to fear, but he still managed to maintain that bright smile.

This scene was reflected in Zhou Zhao's eyes, causing small ripples in his heart.

—————————————————————————————————————

A few days later, in the bustling downtown of Tianlin City, inside a restaurant.

Everyone gathered around, talking and laughing.

"It was Zhou Zhao's twenty-fifth birthday a few days ago. It was delayed due to certain things, so there was no celebration. Today, all my friends are free, so I, as the elder brother, will treat it and let everyone have a good time."

Ning Tianhan picked up the wine glass and said with a smile.

"Thank you, brother, thank you all."

Zhou Zhao was a little shy, stood up and thanked everyone.

"Well, it is indeed worth celebrating. It is not just a birthday, but also a phoenix's rebirth, rebirth from the ashes..."

Lu Mingyun couldn't help but said.

At this time, Jiang Yueling stepped on his toes, telling him to shut up.

"Uh...haha, everyone must have fun..."

Lu Mingyun's cheeks turned pale, but he still maintained a smile.

"In addition to celebrating birthdays, we are also celebrating the return of our heroes who defended Tianlin City from injury!"
