Chapter 223

Another team member interjected, "Even if he has the ability to help us, his motives remain a mystery.

What if he is a mole for the unknown force? Wouldn't we be inviting a wolf into the house?"

This sentence was like a heavy bomb, instantly causing even greater waves in the conference room.

The team members began to whisper and discuss, and the entire conference room fell into chaos.

Seeing this, Xing Luo hurriedly stood up, attempting to quell this disturbance.

"Please everyone, calm down,"

Her voice was gentle yet powerful,

"We understand everyone's concerns, but please trust our judgment. We have already experienced many life-and-death tests together with the mysterious ally, and his sincerity and determination are beyond doubt."

However, despite Xing Luo's efforts to persuade, the contradictions within the team were not alleviated.

On the contrary, as the discussion deepened, the differences and disputes became even more intense.

Facing such a situation, Zhou Xuan knew he had to take decisive measures to resolve the crisis.

After pondering for a moment, he made a bold decision.

"In order to prove the reliability of the mysterious ally 450," he said in a deep voice, "I have decided to personally conduct a test."

Once these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room was stunned.

They looked at Zhou Xuan in surprise, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

However, Zhou Xuan's eyes were exceptionally firm, as if he had already made up his mind.

"I will design a trap,"

He continued, "letting the mysterious ally fall into it without his knowledge. If he is truly trustworthy, then he will surely demonstrate enough wisdom and courage to resolve the crisis; if he harbors evil intentions, then his true face will also be exposed."

273. 【How Much Disaster Will the Team Bring?】

Although this plan was risky, it was the most direct and effective way to prove it.

Although the team members harbored doubts, they ultimately chose to trust Zhou Xuan's judgment.

They knew this was the only way to resolve the internal contradictions of the team and restore unity and trust.

Thus, under Zhou Xuan's careful planning, a test targeting the mysterious ally was quietly launched.

The entire testing process was filled with unknowns and dangers, but the mysterious ally successfully resolved all crises by relying on his own wisdom and courage.

His performance not only won the recognition and appreciation of Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo but also gradually eliminated the doubts and unease in the hearts of the team members.

When the test ended, the entire team was immersed in jubilation.

They hugged each other tightly, celebrating this hard-won victory and reconciliation.

And the mysterious ally also revealed a long-lost smile, as if he were as relaxed and at ease as if he had unloaded a heavy burden from his heart.

However, while celebrating, Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo did not completely relax their vigilance.

They knew that although this test temporarily alleviated the contradictions and crises within the team, it did not completely eliminate all doubts and unease.

In the days to come, they still needed to continue to observe and test the loyalty and reliability of the mysterious ally to ensure the unity of the team and the success of the plan.

Night fell, the stars were like a weave, and Zhou Xuan, Xing Luo, and their team were busily preparing for the final total assault on the unknown force.

The air was filled with a tension and anticipation on the eve of the decisive battle; everyone knew that this battle would determine their fate and future.

However, just at this critical moment, an unexpected change broke all peace and order.

A figure quietly sneaked into the ship's command center, clutching a piece of vital intelligence—it was the battle plan carefully crafted by Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo.

"You... how could you be here?"

Xing Luo looked at the traitor before her in astonishment, her voice trembling with anger and disappointment.

This traitor was none other than a member of the team who usually performed loyally and was deeply trusted by everyone.

"I'm very sorry, Xing Luo,"

The traitor's voice was low and cold,

"But I must do this. I have been bought by the unknown force, and they promised me power and status that I cannot resist."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan's eyes instantly became sharp.

"You dare to betray us? Do you know how much disaster your actions will bring to the entire team?"

"Disaster?"

The traitor sneered,

"In my view, you are the real disaster. You self-righteously confront the unknown force, but you have never considered our life and death or future. I am doing this just to find a better way out."

Facing the traitor's sophistry and provocation, Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo were furious.

But they also understood that now was not the time for arguing.

They had to act quickly to stop the traitor's conspiracy and protect the safety of the team.

"We won't let you succeed!"

Zhou Xuan shouted angrily, his figure flashing as he lunged toward the traitor.

However, the traitor was prepared; he twisted his body to dodge Zhou Xuan's attack and took the opportunity to throw the intelligence in his hand out the window.

"Oh no!"

Seeing this, Xing Luo was shocked and hurriedly rushed forward to try to retrieve the intelligence.

But it was too late; after the intelligence drew a beautiful arc in the air, it disappeared into the vast night.

"Haha, you are already too late!"

274. 【Triggering a Greater Disaster】

The traitor laughed triumphantly,

"I have already leaked your battle plan to the unknown force. They will take action very soon, so just wait to be wiped out!"

Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo looked at each other, their hearts filled with despair and helplessness.

They knew that once the battle plan was leaked, their actions would become meaningless and might even trigger a greater disaster.

However, just at this critical moment, an unexpected figure appeared before them—it was none other than that mysterious ally.

He had quietly arrived on the ship at some point, his eyes fixed intently on the traitor.

"It seems we still have some unfinished business to resolve between us."

The mysterious ally's voice was calm and deep, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Seeing this, the traitor's face instantly turned pale 450.

"You... how could you be here?"

"I have been watching you,"

The mysterious ally smiled faintly, "including your act of betrayal. But I will give you one chance: tell me your true purpose and the mastermind behind you, and perhaps I can consider sparing your life."

After hesitating for a moment, the traitor finally spoke the truth.

It turned out that the reason he betrayed the team was because he had been seduced by a high-ranking official of the unknown force.

That official promised him powerful strength and status, making him one of the core members of the unknown force.

And all he had to do was sabotage the action plan of Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo, paving the way for the victory of the unknown force.

After hearing the traitor's confession, Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo both felt a chill in their hearts. They did not expect such scum to appear in the team, and even less did they expect the unknown force to be so despicable and shameless in using human weaknesses to achieve their goals.

However, now was not the time for anger and grief.

They had to act quickly to stop the conspiracy of the unknown force and protect the safety of the team.

Thus, with the assistance of the mysterious ally, they began to formulate a new battle plan and prepared to deal with the impending crisis.

In the days that followed, Zhou Xuan, Xing Luo, and the mysterious ally fought side by side, advancing and retreating together.

They used their wisdom and courage to resolve the offensives and traps of the unknown force time and again, and gradually approached the mastermind hidden in the darkness.

However, in this contest filled with unknowns and dangers, could they successfully stop the traitor's conspiracy and protect the safety of the team?

The answer to all this would be gradually revealed in future adventures...

Under the starry sky, the flames of war were flying, and Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo shuttled through the artillery fire, each confrontation accompanied by the roar of energy agitation.

In their eyes, there was both fear of the unknown and a longing for victory. In this contest with the unknown force, they gradually uncovered a shocking secret—the true purpose of this force was actually to control the entire universe.

"We cannot continue to be passive like this,"

Zhou Xuan said to Xing Luo during a brief rest period,

"We must find their weakness and destroy them completely."

Xing Luo clenched her fists, her gaze firm:

"I agree, but first we must know their true purpose. Only then can we find a way to counter them." ===== CHAPTER 224 =====
