Chapter 1072: Eye

Boom!!

Like a meteorite striking the ground, even with the impact force controlled, the entire position was overturned as Lin An arrived.

As Lin An casually laid out a compass, the tent where Ke Lei was was instantly enveloped by an illusion.

Stepping inside, Lin An gave an expressionless glance at the trembling Ke Lei, then examined him carefully.

There was nothing unusual.

If anything, it seemed his mental state had a slight issue; his courage appeared smaller than before.

It looks like the pyramid-structured device isn't necessarily effective for everyone?

"Lei... Lord Lei En."

He lowered his head respectfully and glanced at Lin An, yet for some reason Ke Lei felt that Lin An had become stronger!

Although he had restrained his aura, facing Lin An now gave him an indescribable sense of fear.

Both are third rank, yet can the gap really be this huge!?

Ignoring Ke Lei's thoughts, Lin An directly looked at the Wind Hunter on the ground.

He saw that, like a tombstone on a grave, the Wind Hunter, who once appeared gloomy and arrogant, now lay like a pharaoh's corpse, arms crossed over his chest, eyes tightly shut, silently lying there.

The void pulled the Wind Hunter up and dragged him before him.

The next second, as if his process had been interrupted, the Wind Hunter suddenly opened his eyes, his protruding eyeballs staring at Lin An like a beast, while low growls continually burst from his throat.

Seeing this state, it was clearly an attempt to attack him.

"Bang!"

Lin An saw this, a flash of odd color crossed his eyes, and he threw a punch.

"Wake up!"

Coupled with the aura pressure, the Wind Hunter, who had wanted to attack Lin An, suddenly shuddered all over, and his cloudy eyes regained clarity.

Upon realizing that the person before him was "Lei En," his heartbeat skipped, and he hurriedly spoke:

"Lei... Luo.."

His voice was mixed up, as if he had forgotten how to speak.

After a while, he managed to squeeze out a few words from his throat with difficulty.

Whether it was because he had regained consciousness and realized his strange change, a pleading look flashed in the Wind Hunter's eyes:

"Lord Lei En, what on earth has happened to me....!?"

These past few days, he has felt muddled all the time, with meaningless whispers constantly surrounding his ears.

Without answering the Wind Hunter's words, Lin An softly asked:

"Tell me, what did you see?"

He was genuinely curious about what the Wind Hunter might have seen. The professor's notes in the latter half were completely illegible, and he couldn't find from the description what exactly could drive a person mad into a monster.

Hearing the question, he shuddered.

Lin An's question seemed to touch the depths of his soul.

With his eyes unfocused, the Wind Hunter hung his mouth open, his facial expression twisting.

What he saw seemed extremely hard to describe in words.

After a few seconds, the Wind Hunter felt fragments flashing rapidly through his mind, and finally, like a dream talk, he struggled to speak:

"Eye! A huge eye!"

"Supreme.... utmost.... revered... god!!"

"He is watching all of us!!"

"Eye!? Where is it?"

"What does it look like!?"

Lin An frowned; the Wind Hunter's description of the eye instantly reminded him of the eye he had last seen inside the Trial Tower.

His whole body trembled, as if recalling a tremendous pressure and fear.

The Wind Hunter trembled with rapid breathing, his mouth merely repeating:

"Exalted... the supreme existence..."

"It really exists! It really exists!!"

Seeing the Wind Hunter so deranged, Ke Lei, hiding to the side, only felt a chill run through his heart. What on earth has this madman done to them!?

Lin An watched as the Wind Hunter fell into madness again, and his heart suddenly sank.

Again like this?

Every time he asked at the critical moment, no one could give a full description.

Taking a white paper from his ring, Lin An directly had the Wind Hunter draw it.

After a few seconds, under Lin An's pressure, the Wind Hunter, like a disabled child, gripped the paintbrush and tremblingly drew.

All that could be seen on the white paper was an eye drawn above a pyramid.

That eye seemed to replace the sun.

"Captain Lin, how is it?"

Within the illusion, Zhang Tie watched Lin An lower his head in thought and couldn't help but ask:

Although he didn't understand why Captain Lin was obsessed with seeking answers, he also realized that some things might already involve the true secret of the Apocalypse.

"Somewhat... familiar..."

Repeatedly looking at the drawing on the white paper, Lin An pondered while a faint unease spread in his heart.

The familiarity wasn't because the eye in the picture resembled the one he had seen in the Trial Tower.

But rather, it felt as if he had seen it before the Apocalypse.

He thought hard, Lin An's gaze suddenly tightened.

That's right, I must have seen this pattern before the Apocalypse!

As if he had thought of something, Lin An hurriedly searched his ring, but after a long time he still couldn't find what he wanted. After a while, he simply sent a private message to Tai Er.

"Give me a dollar."

In the solemn Meeting Room, Tai Er looked somewhat surprised at the message Lei En sent back.

How pitiful, ever since Lin An said he had resolved the Red Tower disaster, they couldn't wait to welcome the hero's return. Especially after confirming that the Red Tower zombies had truly retreated, the strings of their hearts, suppressed to the extreme, seemed to suddenly explode.

But neither Lei En nor Lin An replied to him.

The entire Soviet High Level was about to go crazy, fearing that Lei En would just run off after completing the mission, or that something had gone wrong.

"Tai Er!?"

"Who are you messaging again?"

At the long-table meeting, several Soviet High Level officials instantly noticed Tai Er checking the communication device exchanged from Reputation Props.

"Lei En! It's Lei En Excellency!"

"What did he say to you!? Is he coming over!? Is Lei En Excellency injured!? Should we go find him!?"

After saying that, Tai Er saw the crowd suddenly stand up, wanting to rush to his side, and he let out a bitter laugh:

"No.."

"He's asking me for..."

His expression was strange.

Looking at Lin An's request, he suddenly felt it was somewhat weird.

Asking for a dollar?

After saying that, although everyone's faces were instantly filled with astonishment, after a moment they all seemed to have received an order and began questioning each other.

"Do you have money? Do you have it?"

The questioning came to nothing. In the Apocalypse, what idiot would carry money on him? That stuff is too hard even to wipe your ass. Especially, they're still Soviet.

"Why did Lei En Excellency suddenly bring up this request?"

"Forget it, never mind. Quickly ask the entire military: who has money on them!"

"If we really don't have any, let's smash the Central Bank! There should be some there!"

"If Lei En Excellency has a need, we'll do our utmost to satisfy it!"

"How much does he want!? Is a billion enough!?"

Orders were issued layer by layer. Many Military Awakened Ones looked at the High Level anxiously inquiring who had money, and for a moment they all felt somewhat absurd.

Outside Thunder Spear Safe Zone.

Lin An looked somewhat speechless at Tai Er's hastily sent message, only feeling that he seemed to have underestimated the power of his offhand remark.

"Lei En Excellency! We've already urgently sent people to the Central Bank to enter the vault!"

"Sorry! There are no troops stationed there because it has no value!"

"But rest assured, within at most ten minutes we can provide you with over six billion dollars in banknotes! If that's not enough, we'll now mobilize troops to search all major state-owned banks!"

Lin An looked at the Soviet High Level's fervent impulse, as if a single command from him would make them all report back, and he suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed.

One must say, the entire Soviet High Level has indeed raised his importance to the highest level, fearing he might have any dissatisfaction.

After hesitating a moment, Lin An sent a message:

"Um.... one is enough."

"1 dollar's."

Ten minutes later, Lin An looked thoughtfully at the incoming transaction, still a brand-new US dollar bill, a flicker of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

As expected... it's the same.

Only see, on the green one-dollar bill, the front bears the portrait of a former American president.

And the back is a pyramid.

One eye, like the sun, floated suspended above.
