Chapter 437: Your Master

Gu Zheng was only in his early thirties. If he didn't say it, no one would know that he was once a high-achieving student in the environmental protection major of a well-known university. Before the Apocalypse Day, he was a quite persistent environmental protection concept advocate, organizing non-governmental environmental protection organizations, promoting green concepts and renewable energy, and also possessed a popular self-media account. Who would have thought that in less than a year, his role would change to one of the four famous masters of the Shengcheng organization, hunting ability users everywhere and doing so-called "purification" work.

Lin Xian heard the other party's words and responded,

"If you are so confident in lattice-ization, why do you still make such a big move?"

Gu Zheng looked at Lin Xian and suddenly smiled wickedly: "Hahaha, brother, you don't really think you are important and are some kind of savior, do you..."

He restrained his smile and said to Lin Xian in a playful tone,

"I feel some sympathy for you. You, the Phoenix Society, and those survivor organizations, you know nothing about the Star Abyss, the darkness, and the future. You will understand one day that your weapons, resistance, and the ability power humans have obtained that transcend civilization are all meaningless things to the master's civilization..."

Lin Xian frowned upon hearing this, but he didn't show any expression under the power armor mask, but responded coldly,

"You make these moves, making your rhetoric sound completely unconvincing."

"Is that so?"

Gu Zheng restrained his smile, his expression becoming serious and sharp. A condensed resonance wave appeared in his palm, and he said in a tone like talking to himself.

"Fine. Dying while holding hope is better than having your faith collapse in front of despair after self-deception."

"Lin Xian." At this time, Kiki also flew over, and the two surrounded Gu Zheng in a pincer attack. Kiki saw the ability fluctuation on Gu Zheng and reminded Lin Xian: "Be careful, this guy has at least 8,000 peak fluctuations. If he completes lattice-ization, he might have a level of 16,000. Should we capture him alive?"

Lin Xian looked at Gu Zheng, his eyes narrowed. On other battlefields in the distance, Monica, Ning Jing, and Qian Dele's teams were all fighting fiercely. The other party had several masters who were lattice-evolved ruthless people, and it was not easy to deal with them. Now facing the dark, the other party's lattice-evolved power constantly attracted a large number of Anomalies to approach. Lin Xian had to solve it quickly, and he had to find the person who slipped away, otherwise they would definitely not be able to deal with it after dark.

"Heh, wishful thinking." Gu Zheng's eyes lit up with powerful ability light at this moment, and his whole person flew up, emitting a large number of square vibration ripples, looking extremely weird.

Hum!

An extremely powerful ability peak kept rising on him, gradually expanding to a shocking degree. Shizhi in the distance saw this scene and couldn't help but widen her eyes, hurriedly saying to Lin Xian,

"Lin Xian, his aura is doubling, stronger than Kiki!"

"I know."

Lin Xian responded calmly, his gaze constantly observing Gu Zheng.

"Does your Shengcheng organization have any relationship with the SIID Foundation?"

Just as Gu Zheng was releasing his lattice-evolved power, Lin Xian suddenly asked him a question.

Gu Zheng looked at Lin Xian with a cold smile, as if looking at a clown.

"Are you trying to ask what the master's arrangement is?"

Lin Xian nodded and responded very seriously: "Who is the master you are talking about? Do you have any contact with the Dark Civilization and the existence in the Star Abyss?"

"Hmph!"

Facing Lin Xian's question, Gu Zheng only felt a bit inexplicable. In a flash, his power had completed the surge, and the huge dark energy fluctuation began to attract a large number of Anomalies. For a time, the sky around the street seemed to dim, and countless eerie roars began to rush over.

"The Sword-Bearer of humans is this kind of idiot. It would be against heaven if they didn't perish!"

Gu Zheng shook his head, shouted coldly, and then his whole person disappeared from the spot at an astonishing speed that was hard to capture with the naked eye. A huge air wave erupted in the ruins of the floor, and before the sound of this air wave fell, he had already appeared in front of Lin Xian, raising his hand to Lin Xian's face.

"Goodbye, Sword-Bearer. Go down and ask the master. Oh no, the master's civilization has no religious theory. You won't have another chance."

After speaking, the vibration wave in his palm expanded dozens of times, turning into a dark purple transparent square air wall, directly covering Lin Xian's whole person, and a destructive power erupted.

And at this moment, Lin Xian still focused his gaze on Gu Zheng's face and asked loudly,

"So you have indeed contacted the Dark Civilization, right? Are you communicating with the darkness?!!"

"Idiot!" Gu Zheng's eyes were blood-red, and the destructive ability impact was fired directly.

Boom!

The square impact area he shocked out directly caused a huge vacuum area in the air, and the huge recoil generated an explosive air wave that sprayed toward an area of several kilometers!

Just when Gu Zheng thought that his full-force blow after lattice-ization had completely eliminated Lin Xian, the next moment, three sounds of mechanical energy exploded in his ears.

Hum hum hum!

Lin Xian, who was originally completely annihilated by the shock wave, appeared in front of Gu Zheng like a ghost at this moment. Behind him, three giant superstring reactor phase rainbow rings lit up layer by layer. Lin Xian's nano-power armor's whole body energy lines erupted with intense light. In Gu Zheng's eyes, Lin Xian's ability peak directly increased from 12,000, terrifyingly to 18,000, then soared to over 20,000, and then to a level he couldn't sense at all. This sudden change directly caused Gu Zheng's pupils to shrink. Then Lin Xian grabbed forward, countless mechanical tentacles sprayed out, instantly grabbing Gu Zheng and dragging him over. A mechanical energy cannon directly pierced his heart, and then Lin Xian pressed a strange device on Gu Zheng's head at an extremely fast speed.

Mycelium Brain-Machine Device!

Strictly speaking, the brain-machine device could not ideally obtain information from the human brain. Digital consciousness uploading required a considerable amount of time to compile consciousness signals, while mycelium could allow individuals to perform consciousness intersection. So Lin Xian asked several key questions just now to trigger memory exploration, so that even if Gu Zheng was killed, he could quickly capture information fragments and obtain useful information when performing forced digital consciousness exploration.

"You!"

Gu Zheng didn't expect at all that his ability peak of nearly 16,000 after lattice-ization would be killed by Lin Xian in an instant. Although they had done a lot of analysis on the Sword-Bearer's strength, the data they obtained was that Lin Xian was an existence with an ability peak of around 7,000. In Xilan City and Dawn City, this mechanical ability user relied on the power of armor such as Unit 01 and Gray Mist Envoy to obtain the initiative on the battlefield. They didn't know at all that Lin Xian's single-soldier combat power actually exceeded 20,000!

At this moment, seeing the brain-machine device Lin Xian took out, as a senior backbone of the Shengcheng, he immediately understood the other party's intention, his face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and shouted coldly: "Don't even think about it!"

In an instant, Gu Zheng suddenly widened his eyes after realizing the defeat and the other party's means, his pupils completely dilated, and then within a few seconds, countless black bloodshot crawled onto his eyes.

Lin Xian frowned fiercely upon seeing this, because he immediately sensed a strong dark fluctuation swallowing Gu Zheng's consciousness.

"He is actively alienating!" Kiki rushed over at this time and said.

"I know, help me control him!" Lin Xian immediately took Gu Zheng and flew directly to the roof where Shizhi was, placed him on the ground, and shouted to Shizhi: "Shizhi, use your ability on me with all your strength."

Kiki guessed Lin Xian's action and immediately said: "Lin Xian, this is too dangerous."

"I just need a little time." Lin Xian manipulated the mechanical device to completely blockade Gu Zheng and said: "If we don't obtain something, we will be in big trouble tonight!"

Not only about the news of the Advent-faction, Lin Xian also wanted to know what the other party had deployed on the island. This was the key at the moment, otherwise he felt that the current Haiyan Island was like a fog, and he didn't know what was going on even when monsters were besieging the city.

Therefore, Lin Xian asked Kiki to control Gu Zheng well, and asked Shizhi to cast her ability on him, while he directly used Wangyue Zhensi's special brain-machine device to start a mental intrusion on Gu Zheng, who had lost his mental power.

Kiki was incomparably nervous. She looked at Lin Xian while looking at Gu Zheng, who was changing rapidly. At this time, she was suppressing Gu Zheng with telekinesis while afraid that he would be completely crushed to death. For a time, she was very anxious.
