Chapter 1064: Captured

Standing in mid-air on a pile of corpses like a mountain, Lin An gasped heavily, coldly watching the over a hundred mutants that swiftly retreated and kept distance from him.

With the cooperation of night therapy, he stubbornly killed over sixty third-rank mutants despite his spiritual energy being exhausted.

If these creatures didn't lack spiritual energy experience, he would even suspect he had already leveled up.

He lowered his head to glance at his injuries; Lin An's expression remained calm, and he didn't care.

No one knows how many times he has nearly been reborn.

Of these sixty mutants, one-third were sucked to death by him alive.

That is, counting his own abnormal recovery, in the recent battle he had used up the equivalent of at least thirty to forty third-rank lives.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change; under siege by a hundred third-rank mutants, the damage he suffered each second was astronomical.

All that can be said is, fortunately this group of third-rank mutants had no special attack methods; placed in the outside world, even if he were stronger he would have to flee.

He took a step forward.

As Lin An moved, the remaining mutants also retreated backward; at this moment, the two sides seemed to have formed a tacit cooperation.

When Lin An advanced, they retreated; when Lin An retreated, they approached.

Looking at the mutant army trying to trap him, Lin An couldn't help but wryly smile.

If he continued fighting like before, he could possibly exhaust these monsters to death; but obviously the controller behind them was not an idiot.

What to do?

His trump cards were down to two.

The Causal Sequence could still erupt once, and Void Walk also counted as a trump card. But the three-second Void Walk, Lin An still wanted to keep it as a last resort for survival.

Once the Causal Reversal recovered to full condition again but still didn't resolve the crisis here, he would have to rely on Void Walk to escape.

The Blink count had been used up to only the last one remaining.

If he were truly trapped here, on the enemy's turf, Lin An could tell with his toes that he would surely be doomed.

As for Aberration...

He shook his head.

Although he attached great importance to the Red Tower Disaster, after all it didn't occur in the Huaxia War Zone. He would only use Aberration in a crazy, life‑risking manner. At worst, he would run first and talk later, dealing with it after reaching fourth rank. He wasn't a savior; matters the Soviet Russia couldn't resolve were their own problem.

In the Apocalypse, a nation's war zone being overrun was completely normal.

Just as Lin An was considering what to do,

Suddenly, a huge number of zombies burrowed into the cavern with passages in all directions.

The next second, the charging zombies rushed into his surroundings like they were seeking death, while the third-rank mutants behind cautiously formed groups of three and one, closely following behind.

Seeing the enemy's strange tactic, Lin An instantly realized they intended to use the zombies to share the power of the Death God's halo?

Lin An's face sank; encountering such a high‑intelligence monster for the first time, he momentarily felt some difficulty.

Within the halo, large numbers of charging Red Tower zombies collapsed like wheat.

Compared to the mutants' terrifying vitality, these zombies were as fragile as foam.

Even with the damage shared, they were wiped out in large patches within a single breath.

But their numbers were sufficient.

In just a few seconds, Lin An watched as a ring of corpses formed around him, his eyes flickering.

It's troublesome. With the zombies sharing damage, these mutants could hold on for at least a few more seconds!

In his state where spiritual energy had reached its limit, just three of them could pose a threat to him.

Looking as if probing, they quickly split into groups of four and five of third‑rank mutants; Lin An's eyes narrowed, and he had to first meet the charging mutants.

"Boom!"

The battle continued to begin, under the command of the white‑clothed zombie, a new fight unfolded.

"What a perfect body..."

Inside the control room, the zombie man in a white coat stroked a strand of hair on his head, full of praise.

Looking at the screen where Lin An persisted in fighting, he actually began to admire him as if he were a perfect artwork.

"Capture him alive!"

"I don't believe his power is limitless!"

Constantly assessing Lin An's strength limit, the zombie man's eyes grew ever more delighted.

In the situation of dispatching large numbers of mutants and zombies to fight, he had already gathered all of Lin An's data.

"In strength, he can tear apart third‑rank beings with bare hands; in speed, he reaches up to Mach 2."

"He possesses three displacement skills, one halo skill, and two special energy damage skills."

"His defense rivals high‑level third rank, and he can repeatedly toggle the 'Invincible?' state at his limit. His recovery is extremely strong, and he can absorb other beings' life force to restore himself..."

"Tsk tsk, truly a freak so monstrous it even frightens me..."

"However."

The zombie man's face showed rich expression; muttering to himself, he again commanded the mutant army to quicken the attack rhythm.

"Your spiritual energy must be completely exhausted, right?"

Noticing that Lin An rarely used spiritual energy in combat after activating the halo, he keenly realized that this freakish superhuman had probably already reached his limit, relying solely on terrifying recovery to hold on.

At most another three rounds, in his judgment Lin An would surely lose all ability to resist.

"Hah... hah..."

Breathing heavy, after a sword stabbed through the eye socket into the brain of a third‑rank mutant, Lin An leaned on his sword and panted.

Under high‑intensity consumption, his stamina and spiritual energy both reached their limits.

Covered in blood, the corpses piled up like a mountain almost buried him.

Although he looked disheveled, another thought rose in his mind.

As the enemy's oil-adding tactic was deployed, Lin An quickly realized that these mutants clearly had the chance, with the zombies' cooperation, to rush all at once and kill him in one go, but whether in attack or interval, they obviously intended to capture him alive.

Turning their plan against them, Lin An simply kept his last Blink in reserve, and also held back his Karmic Reversal, not using it.

Heh, want to capture him alive?

Feigning utter helplessness, after dispersing his Death God Halo, Lin An pretended to struggle to his feet, intending to break out and escape.

In an instant, the army of controlled mutants sprang into action.

Holding nothing back, the howling third-rank mutants all surged forward, frantically trying to keep him there.

"Captain Lin! How's it going over there!? Do you want me and Mo Ling to come rescue you!?"

In the upper underground level, Xiong Hanzi anxiously inquired as if being roasted by fire. Although Lin An kept telling him he was fine, the battle had continued up to now, and Lin An was still going on.

By contrast, on their side, aside from waves of zombies and harassing attacks, even the last few third-rank mutants ignored them and charged straight toward Lin An.

It's hard to imagine how many enemies Captain Lin has to face.

Worried in his heart, he and Mo Ling wished they could go find Lin An right away.

"It's fine, everything.. is going smoothly..."

At a depth of seven hundred meters underground, Lin An, face pallid, was seized by four third-rank mutants on his limbs, their sharp talons pinning his head.

Surrounded by nearly a hundred mutants, he had already been brought to an extraordinarily vast underground complex.

Gazing at the thousands of white lights overhead, Lin An gave a cold smirk.

It looks like this is the hidden mastermind's lair.

On a concrete high wall resembling a dam, a Red Pagoda Zombie clad in a white research uniform looked satisfied at the escorted Lin An.

Around him, a large batch of brand-new, slightly stronger third-rank mutants encircled him protectively.
