Chapter 1065: I am Hope

Their eyes met.

Using his abnormal vision, Lin An instantly saw the zombie on the high platform.

A lowest-rank zombie was protected all around, and it even wore a clean white coat like a human. No need to think; it must be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Looking at this zombie that seemed to have just turned, even somewhat balding middle-aged, a flash of surprise crossed Lin An's eyes.

He had thought it was some special form of high-level mutant, or perhaps an entity possessing like a gray ball. He never expected this guy to look so ordinary. A zombie that retained intelligence, preparing to destroy the world?

Such a cliché plot; for a moment, Lin An wondered if it was some event the system had cooked up based on a movie.

A few seconds later, as Lin An pretended to be exhausted and lowered his head, the bald-headed zombie on the high platform smiled satisfactorily.

Pa

With a light pat, several huge mutants lifted a set of mutant exoskeleton and stood behind it. Moments later, the bald-headed zombie laboriously squeezed into something like armor, then prepared to converse with Lin An.

Careful and cautious, such defenses show how wary it is of Lin An.

Boom

With a loud crash of a heavy object falling, the zombie in a flesh-and-blood exoskeleton then drew a bit closer to Lin An.

Surrounded by its mutant guard legion, it gave a low chuckle and slowly spoke:

"You are the strongest human I have ever seen."

"But unfortunately, I still caught you..."

Seeing Lin An still trying to struggle, it waved its huge hand, signaling the mutants to make Lin An behave.

Boom

Two mutants directly obeyed the order, viciously stabbing their claws into Lin An's abdomen.

Accompanied by a muffled groan, Lin An looked up angrily, unwilling:

"Who exactly are you!?"

"Are these monsters all your doing!?"

Feigning the act, Lin An relaxed his surface defenses without a sound, allowing the huge claws to pierce his abdomen.

Instantly, scorching blood dripped down, looking utterly miserable.

As if appreciating, the bald-headed zombie snorted:

"A foolish question..."

Shaking its head, it seemed to mock Lin An for being so foolish as to storm its lair in order to save the Soviet War Zone.

"You currently have no right to ask questions."

"Now I give you one chance: join us!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the two humans outside are your helpers, right?"

"What a strange combination—you can even control the zombies under my command."

"But they will soon meet you."

Lin An shuddered at the words, his eyes nearly bursting:

"What do you want to do!? Join you? I will never ally with monsters!"

"Disagree?"

Seeing Lin An's shocked and angry expression, the bald-headed zombie gave a cold chuckle and spoke softly:

"That's too bad. I originally planned to preserve part of your wisdom and make you my most capable subordinate."

"Since you disagree, I have no choice but to erase your memory."

"With this body, it's enough for me."

Admiring Lin An's grief-stricken gaze, the bald-headed zombie sighed feelingly, as if truly regretting his stubbornness.

"Humans, truly foolish and stubborn..."

Having said that, he directly waved his hand, signaling the many mutants to drag Lin An away.

Unlike the feigned sorrow on the surface, Lin An's heart sank slightly and he began to gather power. He had originally hoped the mastermind behind would reveal more information, but he never expected all that talk to be nonsense.

Join? Preserve wisdom?

It was impossible to determine what kind of origin this zombie had.

In an instant, Lin An simply stopped bothering to act.

From the moment that zombie harbored the thought of capturing him alive, the outcome of this battle was already certain.

No matter how strong the zombie's defensive arrangements, no matter how resistant the biological armor it created, the instant it was seen by itself, that was its utter defeat.

A hundred mutants on guard... strange biological armor...

A light chuckle.

The next second, as a large group of mutants prepared to escort Lin An to the testing facility, a terrifying aura surged instantly.

Karmic Reversal!

Without hesitation, after taking out the Karmic Hourglass, Lin An directly activated the reversal. In a flash of silver light, all depleted spiritual energy instantly replenished.

State locked at peak strength!

Boom!!

Vast spiritual energy surged forth, but in an instant, the surrounding few mutants were blown into a mist of blood by the erupting power.

Seconds later, the Lin An restored to peak state suddenly vanished.

Void Walk!

Roar!!

Amid the howls of a hundred enraged third-rank mutants, Lin An, surrounded, seemed to have completely disappeared.

Inside the mutant's exoskeleton, the bald-headed zombie's eyes flashed with panic; before it could react, it felt a force erupt from the void, appearing right before it.

Boom!!

The utmost black space was opened.

Rushing out of the void, Lin An, moving within the YiKongjian, directly crossed all mutant obstacles and instantly appeared before the other side.

At the same time, a strong spatial surge also burst forth from around him.

Like devouring everything, the mutant that had recently been protecting the bald zombie had its body dissolved by the spatial surge in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, a vacuum zone three meters in size formed around him.

Similarly suffering from the impact after the void appeared, the bald zombie turned in terror and tried to flee!

If it weren't for the sufficiently strong body he had prepared for himself, he would even doubt that at the moment the spatial surge appeared, he would have been dissolved outright like other mutants. But even so, the arm that grazed him has completely disappeared.

Why!? Why does Lin An still have strength!? Why does he still have teleportation ability!?

He had clearly observed for a long time, confirming that Lin An was already exhausted!

In his view, Lin An being able to fight a hundred mutants to this point is already a miracle; no matter what, he couldn't possibly still have strength!

But feeling the terrifying aura right behind him, he only felt this world was truly absurd! Even if he had hidden trump cards, it couldn't be that they were all trump cards!!

"Want to run?"

With a light laugh, a hint of harshness flashed in Lin An's eyes; without hesitation he unleashed one-third of his spiritual energy and struck down with a sword at the zombie's head.

This zombie is too cunning; after thinking it over, Lin An still decided to kill it first and then question the corpse for convenience.

The sword hangs over his head; death is imminent.

In the face of immense terror, the bald zombie, knowing it could not dodge this sword, let out a startled cry on the brink of life and death:

"Don't kill me!!!"

"You will destroy humanity's hope!!!"
