Chapter 1075: Debut

On the square of ten thousand people, all the third-level Awakened Ones that the Soviet Russian military could gather, along with numerous military and political high-level officials, gazed eagerly at the sky.

Helicopters circled, while the selected mechanical-system Awakened Ones piloted over a hundred sorties of fighter jets, patrolling the airspace.

Outside the square, the crowds of survivors who had rushed upon hearing the news, dense as mountains and seas, all wondered who they were waiting for.

Holding such a grand award ceremony after the apocalypse is undoubtedly a great extravagance and waste.

Standing in two rows, the generals and various department commanders served as a backdrop; over a hundred third-level individuals wore solemn expressions, merely awaiting that man's arrival.

Even before the apocalypse, the standard surpassed any previous award ceremony, even the most frenzied era.

Yet at this moment, no one felt anything was wrong; instead, they worried whether it might still be too shabby.

As the greatest victory after the apocalypse, this belongs to national glory and even to the glory of all mankind!

At least, that is what they thought in their hearts.

Countless war zones fell into catastrophe, with nations and regions destroyed beyond number, but only they could survive catastrophe-level missions!

"Comrades, are we really not going to include Lin An in the propaganda we are about to launch?"

A high-level Awakened One responsible for united-front propaganda anxiously asked in a low voice toward the other high-level officials, unable to help glancing at the report in his hand.

To highlight Lei En, Lin An's achievement of issuing transfer orders for personnel has been attributed to Lei En.

If Lin An feels dissatisfied, he fears it will be difficult to resolve.

"Just release it like this!"

"Don't forget what the purpose of our propaganda is! It is to boost morale! It is to inspire the people! Adding Lin An, does that not tell all Soviet Russian people that we still need a foreigner's help?"

"Moreover, I believe the true resolver of this Red Tower Disaster is Your Excellency Lei En! Lin An can at most be considered an assistant!"

"The transfer order is something we bought with money; mentioning him briefly in the propaganda is also acceptable!"

The commander-in-chief, who wanted to say something, let out a cold snort:

"Besides, does anyone here not know Lin An's style? Could he possibly fight desperately for Soviet Russia? If he truly played a decisive role, I have no doubt he would ask for a lion's share and demand a large sum from us!"

"On the contrary, Your Excellency Lei En has never opened his mouth from beginning to end, and even after the conclusion he still thought of first completing the mission to lower the catastrophe level!"

"Not only that, he only asked for one dollar!"

"What great integrity! What admirable magnanimity!"

"We have discussed this unanimously: the meaning of Your Excellency Lei En asking for one dollar is nothing but telling us! He regards all material rewards as dirt! He possesses only a burning patriotic heart! A resolve to shoulder the hope for humanity's restoration in Soviet Russia! Therefore he would ask for the least valuable thing, which does not even represent Soviet Russia's scrap paper!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man who rarely smiled in front of outsiders actually had moist eye sockets.

Having long seen many Awakened Ones rely on their strength to demand payment for every move, and even becoming greedy, he had already deeply realized that in the apocalypse everyone looks out for themselves. But suddenly appearing, Lei En, this selfless, top-tier human existence...

This feeling, no less than the light of humanity flashing in his heart, dispelled his pessimism and despair about the future.

"Exactly!"

"Precisely because Your Excellency Lei En has contributed so much, all we can do is grant him the highest honor, rather than chill his heart!"

"If Lin An covets these empty fame, let his own war zone handle it! We will only respect our heroes!"

The Awakened One in charge of propaganda, upon hearing this, also suddenly turned solemn in expression.

Compared to Lin An and Lei En's performance, one must say it is worlds apart. Of course, he also knows this is all because Lin An is not one of our own.

But precisely for this reason, he feels even more that our own country's strong ones are the most important.

Seeing that the time was about right, he simply led over 3000 Second Level Awakened Ones soldiers to simultaneously send messages.

It is time to tell the Soviet Russian survivors what catastrophe they recently faced and who turned the tide.

"This is the Soviet Russian Central Command Center, the war zone and the national joint government sending the message."

"Survivors, here we need to tell you the truth about the recent Red Tower Disaster."

Within hundreds of Safe Zones, hundreds of millions of survivors stared blankly at the war zone channel, watching the flood of the joint lecture.

As an official propaganda that rarely mobilizes massive manpower, everyone stared curiously at the information.

A few minutes later, everyone's faces went blank, and a deep sense of panic and dread rose in their hearts.

Just a day ago, they were actually on the brink of national annihilation.

One third-level Mutant per hour? A Red Tower Zombie more terrifying than ordinary Zombies? The front line has evacuated millions of survivors? Over ten thousand Awakened Ones died on the interception line? Even nuclear bombs cannot stop the zombie tide's advance?

Many stared wide-eyed in fear, never imagining that the national annihilation danger they only heard about in announcements would actually happen to them.

Until the end of the propaganda, the official dropped that bombshell.

"... We are honored to tell you survivors! All these disasters have passed! This national annihilation crisis has already been resolved by Your Excellency Lei En not long ago! Believe it, many of you who have examined war zone missions have also noticed this! The Red Tower Disaster has ended! And we Soviet Russians have also given birth to a true top-tier powerhouse, the strongest existence in humanity! Lei En!"

"Let us together remember this moment! This is humanity's greatest victory after the apocalypse! We firmly believe this apocalypse will ultimately be defeated by us! Soviet Russia forever!...."

"Lei En!? Isn't Lei En the mysterious person who previously solved the Sun Walker!?"

"He is indeed ours from the military!"

"We Soviet Russia have produced the strongest human!?"

The propaganda ended, and the person in charge on the square let out a long breath, his eyes still unable to hide his excitement.

The response was excellent; after the announcement, all of Soviet Russia exploded in discussion, everyone talking about Lei En's existence. Countless words of gratitude and praise flooded the war zone channel. These messages are like injecting a strong stimulant into the survivors.

"Alright, comrades, after Lei En Your Excellency arrives, the award ceremony will officially begin. Then we should also notify the world of this news."

"Haha, just thinking about the shock of other war zone high-level officials seeing this news makes me feel this taste is truly exhilarating!"

Recalling the hardships in the trial tower, many third-level Awakened Ones thought back to being suppressed or even ignored by the Soviet Russian war zone... or rather, by Lin An. At this moment they wished they could rush to the Soviet Russian high-level officials and shout a few sentences.

"Your Lin An is not the first! The true strongest human is our Soviet Russia! What does 'raising one's eyebrows and letting out a breath' mean? This is it!"

Suppressing the excitement in their hearts, everyone returned to solemn expressions.

Tai Er, who had kept in contact with Lei En, could not help but lowly remind:

"Comrades! Pay attention!"

"Your Excellency Lei En is coming right up! He is already nearby!"

In the sky thousands of meters high, Lin An, who had long arrived above the awarding square, wore a strange expression as he turned off the war zone channel.

He never expected that the Soviet war zone would quickly hype him up as humanity's savior, the hope of the Apocalypse. Amid such a massive propaganda campaign, he even felt a bit embarrassed.

「Lin An, how do we go down? 」

With a scalpel disguise added, the little Mo Ling, made up to look like Lin An, took his hand and blinked her eyes at "Lei En".

There was some silence.

Lin An looked at himself with an affectionate gaze toward himself, only feeling that the scene was too weird.

He pushed Mo Ling away.

Don't get close to me after we go down.

Just disguise yourself as me and appear directly. It's best to act a bit angry and aloof, otherwise it'll be hard to bring up the matter.

As for me...

He pondered briefly.

Lin An seemed to have thought of something, his gaze turning to the black dragon sleeping like a dead snake.

If the Soviet Union's greatest value lies in being placed upon the 'altar of gods' as one's identity, then the subsequent appearance should naturally be as extravagant as possible.

Chu An had always wanted to play god with amoeba worms, so he could naturally do the same in reality.

Lin An had no doubt that the positive emotions directed at him below would absolutely explode. It's not good to use emotion-absorbing ability in battle, but when showing off...

Having never tried to absorb such a vast amount of positive emotions, Lin An also didn't know how exaggerated his aura would become in those few seconds.

Like a god's descent?

For some reason, Lin An suddenly seemed to understand something in his mind.
