    *Countdown on the Wall*: When the wall begins to bleed, who is counting down the end of civilization? This is not an ordinary suspense novel; it is a million-word epic about "guardianship." Initially, it is merely a bizarre phenomenon appearing in the inland mist—a wall, a countdown number, and the encroaching swarms of poisonous creatures and insects. But as you follow the three protagonists, Zhou Hao, Lao Zhang, and Mei Jiping, through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, you will discover that this is more than just a survival game. This is a desperate expedition spanning eight hundred chapters. From the desolate lakes and marshes of the inland, to the turbulent Black Sea, and then to the nine-layered locked domain where the rules have collapsed, they face not only mutated sea beasts and cult madmen, but the entire altered laws of heaven and earth. This is an ultimate tempering of faith. You think this is just a lighthearted read? No. You will see the protagonists' meridians shattered under the "Five Directions Locking Kill Array," and bleeding from all seven orifices in the "Dark Domain Core." The author mercilessly shatters their physical bodies, solely to forge the indomitable spirit of the Chinese Daoist heart, the spirit of "Though a thousand men stand against me, I will go." This is an ultimate gamble of betrayal and redemption. When the final boss, Lai Qingde, reveals his true form, you will understand what true despair is—the most ferocious evil is never the extraterrestrial demon king, but the traitors of the Nine Provinces who have abandoned their homeland. Four hundred cultivators, their bones withered, guarded the border for a hundred years, unknown to anyone; three generations, one after another, sacrificed themselves, just to defend the sea frontier. Now, the baton has been passed to these four "mortals." 800 chapters, a grand scheme, 2 million words. No system, no rebirth, only a burning passion, carving out a path to survival from the brink of despair. If you have ever felt the thrill of the "saturation rescue" in *The Wandering Earth*, if you have ever been shrouded in the oppressive feeling of "humanity's inevitable defeat" in *The Three-Body Problem*, please open *Countdown on the Wall*. This time, witness how mortal warriors use their flesh and blood to fight against an inevitable countdown to destruction. ⏳ The bloodstains on the wall are still wet. Do you dare accept this mission that will surely lead to your death?

    Please take a look at my data, I'm really out of data, it's constantly dropping! "..." Tie Mei's heart pounded with fear. She wanted to move closer to listen more carefully. Suddenly, the "lord" abruptly turned his head, his gaze shooting like lightning towards the direction Tie Mei was hiding! At the same time, seven dark figures silently emerged from the shadows surrounding the study. These people were completely clad in tight black clothes, only their gleaming eyes visible. Their movements were eerily swift, like ghosts and phantoms. They held slender, slightly curved, narrow-bladed swords, the blades gleaming with a ghostly blue, poisonous sheen in the moonlight! They were Japanese ninjas! And seven top-tier fighters at once! "There are rats." The "lord's" voice was icy, radiating intense killing intent. "Not good! We've been discovered." The moment Tie Mei's figure disappeared into the smoke, a long, drawn-out bamboo whistle suddenly rang out in the courtyard. Before the night fog had dissipated, the seven dark figures had already emerged like ghosts from the eaves, the artificial hill, and the bottom of the pond! These seven men were dressed unlike any other Japanese ninja: their black, tight-fitting outfits were embroidered with silver thread depicting a lone wolf amidst surging waves; their faces were covered by iron masks with blue faces and fangs; and their narrow-bladed swords were three feet seven inches long, with a blood groove along the spine that gleamed a dark red under the moonlight—it was the "Blood Moon Pill," a secret technique of the Iga school of Japanese martial arts. "The Seven Star Lone Wolf Formation." Tie Mei paused on the eaves ten feet away, her palms slightly sweaty. The seven men remained silent. The leader slowly formed an "Outer Lion Seal" with his left hand, and the clanging of the seven swords drawn simultaneously merged into a single line, like the breath of an old dragon from the depths of a frozen pool. Instantly, the air in the courtyard began to swirl strangely, withered leaves, broken tiles, and dust being drawn by the invisible force, tracing the path of the Big Dipper in the air. Tie Mei's pupils constricted sharply. She had seen this formation described in her master's fragmented copy of the *Eastern Martial Arts Manual*: "Seven stars illuminate destiny, a lone wolf devours the moon. When the formation is complete, the true energy of the seven people flows together as one; when attacking, it's like a heavenly wolf pouncing on the moon; when defending, it's like an iron wall encircling them." The annotation in the book contained only eight characters—"This formation has no solution; only speed can break it." Then, the ninja of the Tian Shu position took the lead, taking three steps. These three steps were extremely strange: the first step landed on the seam of the bluestone slab, and the slab shattered instantly; the second step was a light tap in mid-air, and her body used the recoil to rise five feet; the third step landed, and the tip of her blade was already pointing at the empty space three inches in front of Tie Mei's brow. With this seemingly missed thrust, three strands of hair on Tie Mei's forehead were severed with a "swoosh"—the blade energy had been refined to the point of injuring from a distance! Almost simultaneously, the blades of the ninjas Tian Xuan and Tian Ji came from the left and right. The timing of these two strikes was perfect: just as Tie Mei leaned back to dodge the blade to her brow, her old strength exhausted and new strength yet to arise. Before the blade even arrived, the chilling killing intent already caused a dull ache in her vital points. What a formidable Iron Plum! Her figure abruptly halted in mid-air, her right toe lightly touching the instep of her left foot—a masterful display of lightness skill, "Crossing Water with a Duckweed"! Using this slight momentum, she spun in mid-air like a top, her left palm using "Cloud Hand" to deflect the Heavenly Spin Blade, her right palm using "Mountain Push" to deflect the Heavenly Pivot Blade, her palms forming an invisible wall of energy in front of her, one yin and one yang. "Break!" The Jade Balance ninja suddenly roared. This man, who had been standing silently at the heart of the formation, now awoke like a dragon from its slumber, wielding his sword with both hands and slashing upwards. This strike was devoid of any fancy moves, only possessing immense power—the wind from the blade caused the surrounding tiles to crackle and shatter! It turned out that the first four moves were all feints; this fifth strike was the true killing move of the Seven Star Formation: using the true energy of the four positions—Heavenly Pivot, Heavenly Spin, Heavenly Pivot, and Heavenly Power—as a conduit, he propelled the Jade Balance ninja's power to its peak! Tie Mei's long hair stood on end, whipped by the blade's energy. She let out a clear whistle, advancing instead of retreating, her right hand forming a sword-like grip, thrusting straight at the point of greatest blade light—the opening move of the "Returning Maple Sword Technique," "One Leaf Knows Autumn"! The finger wind clashed with the blade, producing a metallic clang. The Yuheng ninja's tiger's mouth split open, yet he grinned maliciously, refusing to retreat, for Yao Guang and Kai Yang's blades had sealed off all of Tie Mei's escape routes! Just as she was about to be torn apart by three blows, Tie Mei suddenly made an unexpected move: she withdrew all her power, letting herself fall like a kite with a broken string! Just as her body reached the level of the eaves, her left hand pressed down on the beast-head ornament on the roof corner—"Sizzle!" A tile was torn off in half, transforming into dozens of sharp arrows that shot towards Yao Guang and Kai Yang! This seemingly casual technique was actually imbued with the Yin energy of her "Cotton Palm" technique, honed over a decade of training; the sound of it tearing through the air was as shrill as a ghost's wail. The two Japanese ninjas hastily parried, their swords flashing, causing a lightning-fast pause in the Seven Star Formation. Now! Tie Mei's toes touched the lintel of the hanging flower gate, her body soaring into the sky like a salmon swimming upstream. Her right hand flashed at her waist—the soft sword "Autumn Water," wrapped around her waist, was drawn! The moment the sword light shone, the entire courtyard fell silent. It wasn't ordinary sword light, but the color of a late autumn maple forest ignited by the setting sun: three parts crimson, three parts pale yellow, and the remaining four parts an indescribable, death-tinged brilliance. The trajectory of the sword as it cut through the air resembled the arc of a maple leaf falling in the wind—beautiful, unpredictable, and unfathomable. "Maple Dance in the Nine Heavens," Tie Mei's voice was soft, as soft as a sigh. When the first sword pierced the throat of the Tian Shu ninja, the tip trembled, leaving seven afterimages resembling maple blossoms; the second sword swept across Tian Xuan's wrist, severing tendons like tattered cotton; the third sword struck Tian Ji's brow, its energy penetrating bone without breaking the skin; the fourth sword… By the time everyone could see clearly, the seven ninjas stood frozen in place like clay sculptures, their Blood Moon Pills clattering to the ground. A gust of wind swept through the courtyard, and six corpses plus one broken body fell backward simultaneously, each with a cinnabar-like red mark slowly seeping from their brow—the highest level of the Returning Maple Sword Technique, "One Leaf Seals the Throat." Tie Mei gracefully landed atop the screen wall, a drop of blood about to fall from her sword tip. She looked towards the study; the figure called "Lord" had vanished into the darkness, leaving only the empty courtyard under the moon and the scattered weapons. In the distance came the sound of the night watchman's clapper: It's the fourth watch! She sheathed her sword, disappearing among the rows of rooftops in a few leaps, leaving only a barely audible sigh in the night wind: "Japanese ninjutsu, in the end, has failed to grasp the essence of Chinese martial arts—the freedom of control." Amidst the rubble, the ninja with both arms severed suddenly convulsed violently—he heard the sound of his throat bones shattering. When Tie Mei's third sword struck him, the subtle palm strike had already shattered his internal organs, only now manifesting its effects. Dawn broke. Tie Mei's figure merged into the smoke, like a fish entering water, instantly vanishing behind the layers of rooftops, leaving only a groaning, severely wounded ninja (both arms gone) and six corpses on the ground. She dared not linger, gathering her inner energy, and sped towards the Yunlai Inn.

I've created a Qin Shen for everyone, a Qin Shen who has experienced the Black Death, the collapse of the Middle Ages, and a Renaissance…
