Chapter 252: Spreading
Bullets struck the steel plate, sparking, and Poison Tooth's submachine gun fire stopped abruptly.
He looked at the empty holes in the magazine, his face turning pale instantly.
Lin Chen's ice blade was already pressing against his throat, the chill drilling into his blood vessels along his skin, making his whole body tremble uncontrollably.
"Speak,
where is the headquarters of the Black Scorpion Organization?"
Lin Chen's voice didn't have a shred of temperature, the ice blade exerting force slightly, cutting a bloodstain.
Poison Tooth bit his teeth tightly, his eyes filled with resentment, but he refused to say a word.
Wang Hu and the representatives of several safe zones stood not far away, their expressions changing,
no one daring to step forward. They all saw clearly that Lin Chen only needed a thought to solve Poison Tooth; them stepping forward would just be adding another corpse.
Just then, a team member ran over quickly, holding an encrypted communicator: "Team Leader Lin, we found this on Poison Tooth; it contains encrypted intelligence from the Black Scorpion Organization."
Lin Chen raised his hand to take the communicator, the ice blade still pressing against Poison Tooth's throat: "Decode it."
The team member nodded immediately, taking out the portable decoding equipment,
and began to operate rapidly. Not long after, the screen of the communicator lit up, and dense text appeared on it. Lin Chen lowered his head and swept over it, his eyes growing colder.
"Everyone come over." Lin Chen shouted to Wang Hu and the representatives.
Wang Hu and the representatives didn't dare to be negligent, walking over quickly.
When they saw the content on the communicator clearly, their faces turned pale instantly, and they couldn't help but gasp.
"The secondary infection virus globally was spread by the Black Scorpion Organization?"
Wang Hu's voice carried a tremor, "They are even secretly researching enhanced viruses, wanting to turn everyone into mutant bodies?"
"Not just these." Lin Chen pointed to another paragraph of text on the screen,
"Behind the Black Scorpion Organization, there is an even more powerful force supporting them. Their goal is to control the entire apocalypse."
The expressions of the representatives grew even uglier; they finally understood that
the Black Scorpion Organization was just a pawn, and the real threat was still behind.
"We must unite." A representative suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a trace of urgency, "Relying on any one of our safe zones alone, it is impossible to fight against such a powerful force."
Other representatives nodded one after another, the look in their eyes toward Lin Chen filled with awe and pleading.
They finally put away their previous small calculations, understanding the truth that when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold.
"Uniting is fine." Lin Chen's gaze swept over everyone, "But you must listen to my command. Whoever dares to disobey in public but comply in private, don't blame me for being impolite."
"No problem!" Wang Hu nodded immediately, "Our Qingshi Safe Zone will be the first to listen to your command."
Other representatives also echoed one after another; they all knew clearly that only Lin Chen could lead them to survive now.
"Good.
" Lin Chen nodded, "Now, everyone go back immediately to reorganize your troops.
Three days later, gather at the Qingshi Safe Zone, and we will go together to end the Black Scorpion Organization's nest."
The representatives acknowledged one after another, walking away quickly. Lin Chen looked at their backs,
a flash of cold light in his eyes. He knew that these people might not be sincere, but now, he needed their power.
"Take Poison Tooth down and guard him strictly." Lin Chen said to the team members.
The team members stepped forward immediately, dragging Poison Tooth away. Lin Chen lowered his head to look at the text on the communicator,
calculating secretly in his heart. The headquarters of the Black Scorpion Organization is in the ruins of the eastern city,
where there are not only a large number of mutant bodies but also the elite troops of the Black Scorpion Organization; wanting to end that place is by no means an easy task.
Just then, the communicator suddenly rang, and Lu Ran's voice came through, carrying a trace of anxiety: "Team Leader Lin, something happened in the direction of the ice plains."
Lin Chen's heart sank violently: "What happened?"
"Chu Aiyao and Xia Nuan and the others encountered an attack from high-tier mutant bodies and are now retreating in the direction of the Human Alliance Headquarters. I am leading a team to open the way in front,
but..." Lu Ran's voice suddenly became intermittent, mixed with the howling of the gale, "but now we have encountered an even stronger blizzard,
our team has been scattered, and the snow vehicle A-Nian is in has lost contact with us."
Lin Chen's expression turned gloomy!
"How big is the blizzard?
Where is your location now?"
"Visibility is less than one meter; we can't tell the direction at all." Lu Ran's voice carried a trace of despair, "We are now on the outskirts of the ice plains mountain range,
and A-Nian's snow vehicle should have been blown into the mountain range by the wind."
Lin Chen gripped his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
A-Nian's sensing ability was their most important reliance now; if something happened to A-Nian,
it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven for them to find the Human Alliance Headquarters.
"You guys find a place to hide from the blizzard first; as soon as the wind and snow get smaller, immediately go look for A-Nian's tracks.
" Lin Chen shouted into the communicator, "I will finish the matter with the Black Scorpion Organization here and come to support you immediately."
"Understood." Lu Ran's voice came through, followed by only the sound of static electrical noise in the communicator.
Lin Chen hung up the communicator and looked up at the sky. The sky in the Western Hills was clear,
and the sunlight shone on the ground, feeling warm. But his heart felt as if it were being pressed by a huge rock, heavy.
The blizzard in the direction of the ice plains was still continuing, the gale whipping up snow foam,
like a roaring giant beast, swallowing everything. In the snow vehicle A-Nian was in,
the driver gripped the steering wheel tightly, his face pale as paper. The snow vehicle shook continuously in the gale, like a leaf that could be torn apart at any time.
"Steady the steering wheel!" A-Nian hugged the signal receiver and shouted at the driver.
His complexion was still pale, his forehead covered in cold sweat, but his eyes were unusually firm.
The driver bit his teeth, trying his best to steady the steering wheel, and the snow vehicle moved forward with difficulty in the gale.
Outside the car windows was a vast white, and nothing could be seen, only the howling of the gale, like the death-summoning charm of the god of death.
"Can the signal receiver still be used?" A team member shouted at A-Nian.
A-Nian lowered his head to look at the signal receiver; the light spot on the screen was still flickering,
although very faint, it never disappeared: "It can still be used. The signal from the Human Alliance Headquarters is still there; as long as we follow the signal, we can find them."
The team members let out a sigh of relief, a trace of hope appearing on their faces. They all knew clearly that
only by finding the Human Alliance Headquarters now did they have the possibility of surviving.
The snow vehicle continued to move forward in the gale, and after not knowing how much time had passed,
the blizzard finally showed signs of weakening. Visibility gradually improved, and they could see the surrounding ice plains mountain range, like giant beasts crouching, silent and majestic.
A-Nian looked at the light spot on the signal receiver, a trace of a smile appearing on his face: "The signal has grown stronger! The Human Alliance Headquarters is in the mountain valley ahead."
The driver immediately perked up, stepped on the accelerator, and the snow vehicle accelerated, driving toward the direction of the mountain valley.
Just then, a strange sound suddenly came from the snow outside the car windows.
A-Nian's expression changed instantly, and he raised his head suddenly, looking outside the window: "Bad, it's mutant bodies! They have caught up."
The team members immediately gripped the weapons in their hands tightly, their eyes vigilantly watching outside the windows. They all knew clearly that a fierce battle was about to begin again. ===== CHAPTER 253 =====
