Jiang Zhi stood on a battlefield shrouded in smoke. The surroundings were a shambles, broken bricks and tiles scattered across the ground. The air was thick with the pungent smell of blood and gunpowder. Her clothes were tattered, ripped in places by sharp blades, and the exposed skin was covered in bloody scrapes. Her hair was tangled and plastered to her cheeks. Sweat mixed with blood dripped down her chin, dripping onto the dusty ground. But her eyes were like a burning torch, burning resolutely despite exhaustion, fixed intently on the direction where the enemy might appear.
By this point, her body had reached its limit. Every muscle ached, as if pierced by countless needles. The long battle and intense mental state left her legs trembling slightly, as if carrying a heavy burden. But her spirit was as strong as steel, and she would not allow herself to relax even a little. In her heart, a single belief, as bright as a star, hung high: to completely defeat Jiang Yao and the mysterious organization and create a safe haven for herself and her family.
Jiang Zhi knew that Jiang Yao and the mysterious organization were like venomous snakes lurking in the darkness, poised to spurt forth again and strike a fatal blow. She couldn't let this temporary victory lull her into complacency, or all her previous efforts would be wasted, and the blood of the allies who had been injured or even sacrificed to protect her would be in vain. She slowly raised her arm, wiping the sweat from her forehead, her gaze scanning the allies around her, who were equally exhausted but with resolute eyes. Some were descendants of families once murdered by Jiang Lingchuan, while others were righteous individuals who could not tolerate the evil deeds of the mysterious organization. They were united by a common goal and became Jiang Zhi's allies in the fight.
She recalled their first encounter, a time when she felt most helpless, searching for strength. As she recounted her experiences and the evil deeds of Jiang Yao and the mysterious organization, she saw a sympathetic rage in their eyes. In that moment, she knew they were the kind of people she could fight alongside. In the days that followed, they trained together, studied strategy and tactics, and gathered intelligence. Every day and night was filled with intense activity, but it also deepened their bond.
Although the battle had achieved a temporary victory, Jiang Zhi understood that this was only a small node in a long journey. She took a deep breath, trying to restore some strength to her exhausted body. She knew that there was still a lot to do next. First of all, the injured allies must be properly treated. She forced herself to cheer up and walked towards the wounded who fell to the ground. With her superb medical skills, she quickly stopped the bleeding and bandaged their wounds. Her movements were skillful and steady, and her eyes were focused and firm, as if all the noise around her had nothing to do with her. Under her treatment, some allies with less serious injuries gradually regained consciousness. They looked at Jiang Zhi with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
Besides treating the wounded, strengthening the defenses was also a top priority. Jiang Zhi stood up, looked around, and began to consider how to utilize the existing terrain and resources to build a stronger defense. She directed her allies to carry rocks and wood, set up roadblocks, and dig traps. Despite her fatigue, her voice remained firm and powerful, and every command was clear and precise. The allies obeyed her command without complaint, working together for a common goal.
Even in her busy schedule, Jiang Zhi didn't forget to think about her next strategic plan. She knew Jiang Yao and the mysterious organization wouldn't give up; they would definitely return, and their next attack might be even more fierce. She needed to prepare in advance, find the enemy's weaknesses, and deliver a fatal blow. Silently, she sat on a rock, closed her eyes, and replayed the battle scene in her mind, analyzing the enemy's tactics and patterns of movement. She recalled the clues she had uncovered during the battle about the mysterious organization. Those seemingly insignificant details might hold the key to uncovering their full picture.
She decided to dispatch some agile and reconnaissance-savvy allies to investigate the mysterious organization's whereabouts and its lair. Upon receiving their mission, these allies set off without hesitation, disappearing into the night like spirits in the dark, exploring the secrets hidden in the depths of darkness. Jiang Zhi remained behind, caring for the wounded while awaiting news from the investigators.
As the seconds ticked by, Jiang Zhi's heart was filled with anxiety and anticipation. She worried about the safety of the scouts, yet she desperately wanted to gain intelligence on the enemy. Finally, after a long wait, a scout returned. His face was tired, but his eyes gleamed with excitement. He quickly approached Jiang Zhi and whispered what he had discovered. They had discovered a temporary base of a mysterious organization, located in an abandoned factory not far from here. While heavily guarded, it seemed to harbor some hidden secrets.
After hearing the report, Jiang Zhi's heart leaped. She knew this was a rare opportunity. If they could successfully raid this stronghold, they might be able to obtain more core intelligence about the mysterious organization, laying a solid foundation for their complete destruction. She immediately gathered her remaining allies and shared the news. Upon hearing this, the allies rubbed their hands, expressing their willingness to follow Jiang Zhi on this adventure.
Before setting off, Jiang Zhi once again gave everyone a pre-war mobilization. Her voice was deep and powerful, as if it had a magical power that could penetrate everyone's heart. "Friends, we have experienced too much hardship and challenges, but we have never given up. Now, another opportunity lies before us. Although the road ahead is full of dangers, I believe that as long as we unite as one, nothing can stop us from moving forward. For our families, for those persecuted by the mysterious organization, let us take up arms once again and charge towards the enemy!"
With that, Jiang Zhi took the lead, heading toward the mysterious organization's temporary base. Her figure, cast in the moonlight, appeared lonely and resolute, like a fearless warrior leading her team into an unknown battlefield. Despite her exhaustion, she walked without hesitation, knowing she shouldered too many responsibilities and missions; she couldn't and wouldn't retreat.
