The injured person is the director of the border management bureau.
With a ding, the door to the central control room opened.
He snapped the bureau chief's neck, then took a blade hard drive from his shirt pocket and plugged it into the interface on the control panel in the central control room.

The Onmyoji wiped the bloodstains from his face, his eyes remaining calm and composed.
The next moment.
The steel gates on the city's edge began to slowly descend, and the metal storm atop the city walls went into standby alert mode, ready to shoot down any unauthorized approachers.
The so-called unauthorized approachers are all living beings in City 10, except for this Onmyoji.
Chapter 677, A Glimpse into the Lives of All Beings
Standing under the neon lights, Chen Zhuoqu waited for her team members to quickly assemble.
However, the power went out too quickly; they didn't even have time to assemble.
Chen Zhuoqu observed quietly and was surprised to find that the city did not descend into chaos due to the power outage; the pedestrians on the street were merely grumbling and cursing.
The citizens of the Federation have been living in comfort for too long; even small-scale wars between conglomerates have never affected the cities.
Therefore, the citizens' response was sluggish.
Soon, her vice-captain and team members assembled. Chen Zhuoqu solemnly said, "Now we will start collecting supplies. Our mission is to buy medicine."
After saying that, Chen Zhuoqu opened her phone and recorded a sentence, then started looping it at maximum volume: "A disaster is about to break out in City 10. The Kamishiro Group's missiles have locked onto this place, and the power plant has also been destroyed by the Kamishiro Group. Everyone, please escape to the Lower Three Zones as soon as possible!"
At this moment, a time traveler said, "Now that the power is out, the pharmacies can't process payments, so they won't sell us the medicine."
“Then take it. Remember not to hurt anyone. We’ll only take the antibiotics and leave,” Chen Zhuoqu said firmly.
“Rob?! That’s not right, how could we do such a thing?!” said one of the time travelers.
Chen Zhuoqu hesitated for a moment, then became resolute again: "Grab it! If anyone asks, just say I was in charge. I'm the captain, and I'll take responsibility. Remember, you must tell the shopkeepers that disaster is coming. This is the only thing we can do."
As she spoke, she grabbed a trash can from the roadside, smashed it against the glass window of a nearby pharmacy, and led the way as they rushed inside.
The shop assistants panicked, while Chen Zhuoqu's phone, hanging around her neck, continued to play voice messages on a loop.
At this moment, pedestrians on the road were staring at them in shock. No one knew what had happened, and no one took the warning Chen Zhuoqu played to heart.
They just thought someone was taking advantage of the power outage to rob people.
However, this is Zone 3, and such robbery will inevitably be severely punished by the PCE Security Committee. Many passersby stood still and waited for the PCE to arrive.
A time traveler roared at the pedestrians who had stopped in their tracks: "Run! Either go to the lower three districts or to the immigration gates. Don't wait here."
However, the people remained unmoved. Seeing that they had not taken out any weapons, they gathered around and began to whisper among themselves.
However, the PCE agents they were waiting for did not arrive in time, and they had no idea what had happened.
At this moment, more than forty people looted the antibiotics from the pharmacy. One of the team members said, "Let's go. We've completed the task given by the young director. Let's go to the immigration gate."
Chen Zhuoqu shook her head firmly: "We're not going there. We're heading straight to the Lower Three Districts! Activate Plan B!"
The Time Travelers were stunned. What they didn't know was that Qing Chen had spent two days arranging Plan A and Plan B, and then for the remaining five days, the dean of the Agricultural Academy was still racking his brains to figure out all the loopholes.
One of the loopholes was raised by Chen Zhuoqu: "What if the other side acts faster than us, giving us no time to react, and starts attacking immediately after we travel through time?"
At that time, Qingchen asked her, "Why would Shendai do this?"
Chen Zhuoqu replied, "What if Shendai Qianchi knew that you were in City 10? You have already ruined countless of their plans. If they knew you were there, then no extreme action would be too much for them. Maybe they are just waiting for you to return, then travel through time, and use their plan of waiting in ambush to crush your plan based on information asymmetry."
After a long silence, Qing Chen offered a supplementary condition for Plan B: "Attention all squad leaders and vice-leaders: if the city experiences a power outage, it means that Kamishiro Chika is fully prepared and the border crossings must be closed. All squads must immediately change course and head to the Lower Three Districts! Chen Zhuoqu, add 20 points."
Battle plans are a variable that can change constantly due to various factors.
What Qingchen needs to do in the remaining five days is to take all the variables into account as much as possible.
Each Timewalker team has replaced Plan A with Plan B.
99% of the vehicles in the city are new energy vehicles powered by cloud towers. At this time, the city's traffic has been paralyzed, and people get out of their cars and stand next to them cursing and complaining.
The Time Travelers traversed the bustling streets, constantly reminding people that City 10 had been attacked by the Kamishiro Foundation.
Even if no one believes them.
However, before they could go very far, they discovered that rats had already appeared on the streets.
A rat swarm has taken to the streets.
Chen Zhuoqu looked at the team members behind her and said coldly, "Everyone who has eaten the Longevity Heaven, cultivated, or been injected with gene serum, please help your teammates share the load. Do not let children under the age of 12 carry anything. We must quickly break through the city center!"
One of the team members looked at the suddenly appearing rat and muttered, "Is it too late?"

PCA (CIA)
The building, which was originally brightly lit due to overtime work, has now turned dark.
However, the CIA is a special case; its backup generator will automatically start in 5 minutes, at which point order will be restored here.
Qingyi sat alone in the dark office, quietly listening to the commotion caused by the power outage in the large office outside.
The boy with the watermelon-head haircut has cut it off and now sports a buzz cut like Li Ke, making him look much more capable.
At that moment, a PCE agent walked in: "Boss, a woman named Si Nianhua has come and says she has an appointment with you."
Qingyi raised his head in the darkness, the moonlight from the window casting a shadow on his eyes.
The boy stood up: "Bring her in, and quickly."
Si Nianhua walked with a graceful cat-like gait, wearing high heels and carrying her expensive handbag under her arm.
Qingyi smiled as soon as he saw her: "How have you been, sir?"
Si Nianhua said, "There's no time for pleasantries. The power outage was caused by Kamishiro. They placed Kamishiro Chika's body in a sewer, causing biological contamination of City 10. Now they intend to destroy the city. Please act quickly; he will be waiting for you in the Lower Three Districts."
Qing nodded and decisively told the PCA agent, "Qinghua, go and inform the Li family's agents to come with us. Tell them it's an order from their independent director. Yang Xuyang, go and get that thing."
With that, he turned and walked towards the door: "Everyone, come with me."
In just 5 minutes, the team trained by Qing Chen, led by Qing Yi, quickly left the PCA building.
Immediately afterwards, Li's detectives also came out.
Qingyi walked into the night and pressed the remote control in his hand.
The building behind him suddenly turned into a fireball, and all the agents from the Chen family, Kamishiro, and Kashima perished in the flames.
The item he sent Yang Xuyang to retrieve was a high-performance explosive package in a sealed metal box.
That was originally a method that Keiichi planned to use to perish together with others when forced to, but now he used it to destroy all life in that building.
Qingyi smiled and looked at Si Nianhua: "Did the gentleman say anything else?"
Si Nianhua was somewhat surprised. The young man's methods just now certainly lived up to the title of "Living Yama" of the Intelligence Division, but when he mentioned Qing Chen, his smile was so innocent and naive.
"The boss told me to notify you to evacuate immediately and to find a way to inform all members of the Secret Service."
"The very first time?" Qingyi's smile grew even brighter.

City No. 10.
The lower three districts were also plunged into darkness due to a power system malfunction.
It was as if this place had never been bright.
“Let me do it! Lao Luo said that as long as I can open the Key Gate to that place, he will act as my matchmaker and introduce me to a potential partner,” Xiao San spat out the golden Eye of True Sight that she had brought from her mouth.
"Don't drive into forbidden areas," someone said in the darkness.
“No,” the mistress chuckled, “I’m afraid of dying, I would never drive there.”
The Key Gate is one of the most widely used spells in the wizarding tradition and is the foundation of wizarding.
Its principle is that you place the Ferrero-sized Eye of True Sight on a door and turn it clockwise ten times, and then that door will take you anywhere you want to go.
That must be the place you most want to go in your heart, without any concealment.
This was originally a sorcery used by wizards to directly verify their true nature. When you feel lost and confused in life, not knowing where to go, the Key Gate will tell you the answer.
A person can only open the key door once in their lifetime.
However, the Key Gate, which has been around for nearly a thousand years, has been ruined by the Bystander organization.
Luo Wanyi made a promise to all these energetic and strong young men: as long as they set up shop in the wilderness, he would provide them with housing or introduce them to potential partners.
As Xiao San gently twisted the Eye of True Sight, the iron door in front of her seemed to be melted by the Eye of True Sight, leaving red marks, just like molten iron.
The Eye of True Sight slowly slid into the door, and with a click, the Key Door opened.
The mistress took a deep breath and then stepped forward.
Before me lay a desolate wilderness and starry sky, while the vast Milky Way overhead shone exceptionally brightly and magnificently.
The mistress retreated back inside the door: "I didn't fail in my mission... I was really afraid I'd accidentally opened the Key Gate in the Fourth District's Pleasure Street... Come on, next!"
The Kunlun Organization gifted the parents' association five Eyes of True Sight, giving them five opportunities to open the Key Gate.
Ten minutes later, four out of the five doors were open in the same place, which meant they had succeeded!
At this moment, more than forty family members filed in through the key gate, seemingly making some preparations.
Xiao San used a knife to remove the iron gate: "Alright, carry the gate downstairs and start arranging the evacuation of the residents of the third district."
