Chapter 1071: Checking the Situation

Boom—

Seeing the huge mushroom cloud rising in the distance, Lin An couldn't help but feel that nuclear weapons are just great.

The fierce wind blew, and as he stared directly at that extreme light and heat, he actually felt a hint of strange beauty.

Half a minute later, as the orange-red mushroom cloud slowly rose and transformed, Lin An calmly turned around and began checking the spirit energy node he had stored in his ring.

Inside the ring, a cluster of reddish-brown shining light constantly writhed, as if it were alive.

The node's rank is fourth stage, found from the Red Tower zombie production center.

This node is almost the strongest spirit energy node Lin An has ever seen.

Feeling that violent, nearly infinite energy, a hint of satisfaction unconsciously flashed in his eyes.

If the Soviet war zone's poverty was something he truly looked down on, then the spirit energy node obtained from this operation could also be considered a great harvest.

A fourth-stage node is enough for Long An to not worry about upgrading to level three beforehand.

Think about it carefully—what is third-level spirit energy technology?

Space carrier? Spirit energy battle armor?

With his strength rising too fast, Lin An almost forgot the joy of just obtaining the Doomsday Base Vehicle. Back then he still thought of developing steadily, relying on spirit energy technology to embark on the path of troop buildup and construction...

"Captain Lin, are we going to Thunder Spear?"

"How do we go?"

Chewing on a spirit energy fruit, Zhang Tie numbly opened his mouth and, as an afterthought, handed another to Mo Ling.

Since finishing the corpse ball, he felt he probably wouldn't want to eat meat for a long time to come.

Lin An heard the voice, looked up, thought briefly, and took out the transmission permit.

Thunder Spear itself had left behind its coordinates.

Compared to flying there slowly by transport plane, transmission is still more convenient. Most importantly, he always felt that in a few days, Feng Lie and the two would run into big trouble.

Ignoring Tai Er's private message sent to him, Lin An infused spirit energy and directly generated a transmission gate on the spot.

As long as the money is in place, he also doesn't care about the so-called honorary rewards prepared by the Soviet side.

With a ripple of spatial fluctuation, a miniature transmission gate instantly appeared.

"Go!"

Outside the Thunder Spear Safe Zone, a hundred meters out.

In the camp where the soldiers were stationed, many elite soldiers looked fearfully at the tent where their leader was.

Since that mysterious person appeared, the two leaders seemed to follow orders, not daring to step out even for a moment.

But for some reason, these guards who knew the leaders' temperaments always felt that Feng Lie and the two's gazes were becoming increasingly dull, and even when looking at them, they actually carried a bloodthirsty desire.

Under Lin An's intimidation, their entire army seemed to have lost contact, daring not to have any communication with the outside world.

Even if they had encountered strange Awakened Ones coming to inquire a few days earlier, they could only stubbornly claim they were just camping nearby.

"What do you say, what exactly has happened to Lord Feng Lie.."

"Last night I saw Awakened Ones being summoned inside..."

"I don't know..."

"People still haven't come out yet, I heard someone heard screams."

"Alright, stop guessing. The leader has a bad temper; killing a few people is normal. Just be careful."

Accustomed to life and death being unpredictable in the apocalypse, if it weren't for the past few days' situation being strangely inexplicable, they wouldn't be discussing it.

Worried, an Awakened One veteran who had vaguely seen the construction inside the tent flashed a hint of doubt in his eyes.

His talent is enhanced five senses; although his combat strength isn't strong, as a scout in the legion he still performed well.

Last night, he actually heard a strange chewing sound.

Having dealt with zombies too much, he always felt that chewing sound was somewhat familiar.

Outside the camp.

With a brief moment of distraction, Lin An instantly appeared from the spatial channel.

Immediately after, Mo Ling and Zhang Tie also jumped out from the cavity, somewhat unaccustomed.

Scanning the surroundings, Lin An saw nothing unusual around and then headed straight to the point where he had left the pyramid that day.

Along the way, he pensively looked at the incoherent messages Feng Lie had sent.

"Eat... not full..."

"Eyes... so big..."

Unlike what Lin An imagined, he originally thought Ke Lei would be the first to show problems, but unexpectedly Ke Lei was still fairly normal, sending normal messages every day.

But Feng Lie clearly showed the early-stage condition of a Day Walker.

At the same time, inside the huge tent, Ke Lei looked somewhat panicked at Feng Lie burying his head beneath the pyramid.

To be honest, although he didn't know what this thing was used for, every time he came into contact with this strange pyramid, he always felt that strange spirit energy would drill into his body. As time passed, he began to constantly hear incomprehensible murmurs.

And Feng Lie... even more so displayed a strange condition.

For example, although they were forced to enter the pyramid, Feng Lie, after initially gritting his teeth to make contact, actually stayed inside for a full 24 hours afterward.

Moreover, that night, Feng Lie actually devoured a soldier alive right in front of him!

After eating the soldier, Feng Lie regained his senses and showed extreme terror, but soon, as if hypnotized, he forgot the incident.

"What the hell is this damned thing!!"

"That person, what on earth does he intend to do!!"

Every minute and second is agony; he completely cannot understand Lin An's intention!

He only knew that he could no longer stay here!

If it weren't for Lin An's intimidation being too great, and the information from the war zone channels these past days also giving him the feeling that Lin An was from the military, he would have run away no matter what!

As Ke Lei waited in agony, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from far to near.

In an instant, he felt the surroundings shift, and saw a compass appear before his eyes.

His heart jumped.

This familiar feeling... is that pervert!!
