Chapter 1062: Besieged

Hu.. 」

Under the mask, Lin An lightly exhaled a breath, his heart slightly steadied.

Imitating other zombies, he silently lifted the iron box on the ground, pretending to work.

His mimicking ability is extremely strong; no matter how the mutants inspect, they cannot see any difference in his movements.

Watching the agitated mutants approach, Lin An let out a sigh of relief, merely continuing his performance. With Mile's scalpel disguising his aura, even if these mutants sniffed it out, they could not tell the difference.

Facing a mutant with a blank expression, Lin An pretended to be a normal zombie, mechanically moving things.

After waiting a moment, he believed that this group of mutants, unable to find him, would only leave even with low intelligence.

Sure enough, after more than ten seconds, the dozens of mutants that could not find Lin An anxiously circled the corpse horde like hunting dogs.

Instead, they roared at the zombies, as if doing so could scare Lin An out.

Searching in vain, a few Red Tower mutants instinctively glanced at the corpse of their companion on the ground, then at the neat zombies. In their scarlet, protruding eyes, there was a hint of doubt. They clearly could sense human breath 0.3 seconds ago; how could it vanish instantly?

After another few tens of seconds, each huge Red Tower mutant, driven by instinct, regained calm and prepared to turn and leave.

Seeing this, Lin An's heart steadied.

Not bad.

Once this group of mutants leaves, I can continue acting.

Looking at the zombies working around like workers, Lin An's doubts arose.

Red Tower Disaster... Military...

Are the Red Tower zombies made by the military? The thought arose and was instantly rejected by him.

It's unlikely the military created them. If the military had created them, even if they lost control, they would definitely have given detailed information before his departure.

The nation is about to perish; even a huge conspiracy and secrets could no longer be covered up.

You should know, if it weren't for him refusing to let the Soviet Russia Awakened Ones follow, those Awakened Ones who followed him in would likely be wiped out.

Tai Er and them, no matter how well they hide themselves, could not possibly be sent to their deaths.

Impressive, at most there is indeed a military laboratory here researching something.

However, with the Apocalypse ongoing, huge changes occurred, leaving even the military unaware of what happened inside. Only after the Red Tower Disaster erupted did the military realize a massive disaster had occurred here. Only then does this logic make sense.

Furthermore, the occurrence of the disaster is likely related to the super node mentioned by the professor.

Under hyper-effective thinking, Lin An continuously analyzed.

The second scenario: there is a spatial gate or spatial rift here. Humans from another world have fled over.

Just like a Secret Realm, these escapees, for unknown reasons, began producing Red Tower zombies.

He glanced at various instruments of unknown effect, Lin An's eyes showed contemplation.

This speculation is not impossible.

But the problem is, why produce Red Tower zombies?

In contact with the gray ball of the God dungeon, Lin An could clearly feel that these beings who fled to Earth were obviously fearful of the Apocalypse.

Whether it is the high-human world experimented in the Secret Realm, or the gray ball in the God dungeon, both have seen zombies and regard them as iconic symbols of the Apocalypse.

If they appeared in the Earth world to avoid disaster, what reason would they have to produce zombies?

Even the high-human world of the Secret Realm merely uses blood corpses as simulation tools, essentially not intending to produce blood corpses.

Lin An furrowed his brows.

Lacking information, he could only think of two possibilities.

1. The outsiders of the Red Tower Disaster want to use Red Tower zombies to clear out Soviet Russia's humans and occupy living space.

2. No other world is involved here; it's simply that a high-intelligence mutant behind the scenes controls everything. The predecessor of this mutant is very likely a researcher from the military's original project...

Underground eight hundred meters.

Inside a control room built of metal materials, a zombie wearing a white uniform sat humanoid-like before the console.

Looking at the feedback on the screen, a cruel smile appeared on his ugly face.

"Do you really think hiding means I can't find you?"

On the blood-red screen, clearly was a top-down view of the warehouse scene.

Turning the head button, inside the huge warehouse where Lin An is, each zombie skull hidden in the crevices also turned along.

If Lin An were here, he would instantly realize that these surveillance images are actually composed of zombie vision.

The image zoomed in.

A zombie in a white research uniform, as if appreciating, looked at Lin An disguised as a zombie.

"What a wonderful ability..."

After sighing, thinking of Lin An's performance of killing his way all the way, there was not a trace of pity in his eyes; instead, a hint of greed surfaced.

"Such a powerful physique... truly stirring..."

A low chuckle faded, muscles moving on his skinless face, resembling a severely burned monster.

He casually took the cup on the console and drained it in one gulp.

Drops of bright red blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

After a moment, as if waiting for something, he calmly operated the commands on the console, and one after another silent bio-electrical waves were activated.

At the same time, in a huge pit hidden in another underground space, groups of huge nutrient cabins slowly opened.

The test tubes detached, and large amounts of viscous blood flowed out.

In an instant, hundreds of scarlet eyes snapped open.

"Roar!!"

"Roar!!"

Instinctively roaring, after removing the test tubes from their bodies, up to a hundred third-rank mutants, like a train, directly charged toward where Lin An was.

Not only that, even the Red Tower Mutants that had previously withdrawn from the encirclement, at this moment, under orders, silently re-encircled.

Inside the control room, the white-uniformed zombie looked satisfied at the red dot on the screen, absolute confidence in its eyes.

A total of 175 third-rank mutants—surely they will give this intruder from outside a huge surprise.

"Catch him!"

The order was given, and in an instant, a large number of mutants sprang into action.

Inside the warehouse.

Listening carefully for any sound, Lin An pretended to work while contacting Zhang Tie over the squad channel:

"How are you? Are you all right over there?"

As his words fell, accompanied by a low, muffled groan of pain, Xiong Hanzi hastily replied:

"Captain Lin, we're fine!"

"Mo Ling and I have slipped into another place. This looks like a corpse pit."

"The mutants pursuing us aren't many, and the undead bodies summoned by Mo Ling are quite effective!"

As he spoke, Xiong Hanzi brandished the lingchi weapon and slammed it down brutally.

"But you need to be careful! I keep feeling..."

"Lin An! The number of mutants is wrong! We have too few here!"

On the other end of the line, Little Mo Ling urgently warned him, her eyes full of worry.

In the field of view of the zombie under her control, she saw many mutants bypassing them and heading straight down to the lower level.

In the warehouse, Lin An heard the sound and froze slightly.

The next second, with his keen perception, his face suddenly darkened.

He looked up instantly. Only to see, in the tunnel the mutants had left, a series of explosions and sharp howls were pouring in from all directions.
