A sector of the quarantine zone.
"COUGH COUGH COUGH!"
Tao Long, a Secret Inspection Bureau investigator in a black uniform, was slumped against a corner. A horrifying indentation marked his chest, and he coughed up a constant stream of blood. His broken ribs had pierced his lungs, causing massive internal bleeding. A normal person would have died long ago.
Now, although the Celestial Demon inside him was preserving the last of his Vitality, he knew that in his current state, there was likely no way he would make it out of this quarantine zone alive.
But he had been prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice ever since he joined the Secret Inspection Bureau. He even wrote a will before every mission. 'It's just... I can never quite let go of my family...'
He took a deep breath, pushing aside all the stray thoughts in his mind, and looked toward the battlefield. This was no time to be sentimental. His mission wasn't over yet.
