Chapter 1079: A New Round of Storm

In the supreme meeting room, Lei En, Lin An, and all the high-level officials, having just finished the awarding ceremony, took their seats in order.

It seemed he didn't want to waste time here; without waiting for the Soviet high-level to exchange pleasantries, the Lin An disguised as Xiao Mo Ling spoke coldly:

Later, bring over the supplies trade.

Send the cards I want to me as soon as possible.

Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite.

His words were icy; the Soviet high-level's expressions froze, and the smiles they had just put on turned ugly instantly.

Faced with such a commanding tone, they were indeed somewhat displeased.

Especially after learning that Lei En was about to advance to the Fourth Stage, they gained a deeper understanding of the card's importance.

The meeting room fell silent; under Lin An's intimidating presence, they could only stare with grim faces, not knowing how to speak.

The next second, Lei En on the main seat suddenly raised his head:

"Lin An, we will naturally fulfill what we promised you!"

"What, if we delay a bit, do you still want to attack us?"

Face to face, their two utterly different auras instantly clashed.

However, in everyone's eyes, the usually overbearing Lin An actually flashed a hint of apprehension, as if intimidated by Lei En's strength.

"Heh, you're the ones who begged me to come."

"Lei En, I admit you're strong. But can you protect everyone?"

Tension rose like a drawn bow; in the meeting room, everyone's breathing tightened. Watching the two opponents, the entire Soviet high-level involuntarily clenched their fists.

In the tension, many people's eyes mid-wing looked at Lei En.

Previously, forced by Lin An's strength, they were the suppressed side, with no one daring to oppose Lin An. But now, Lei En, Your Excellency, seemed like their backing!

"Lin An!"

"From today on, I will guard the Soviet! If you dare move my people, I will naturally go to Long An and kill!"

No less. On the main seat, Lei En, whose aura was equally cold, rose to his feet, as if preparing to strike in the next second.

For a moment, an invisible collision unfolded between them.

A few seconds later, Lin An gave a light laugh and took a deep look at the face beneath the mask:

"Lei En, I've remembered you..."

Having said that, without further ado, a boom sounded, and with a gust of wind, the overbearing Lin An instantly vanished from the spot.

As Lin An withdrew and left, the entire Soviet high-level were all startled, then turned excitedly to look at Lei En.

"Good!"

Lei En's words just now fell into their ears, simply too moving.

Watching Lin An being driven away by our own strong one, they felt only relief! Lin An, you too have your day! From now on, our Soviet is no longer dough in your hands to knead as you please! That sentence "I will guard the Soviet" was like a lightning bolt striking their hearts.

"Lei En, Your Excellency! We truly haven't misjudged you!"

"We firmly believe you will surely lead us to prosperity!"

Amid the excited shouts, Lei En sat back down without changing expression.

His tone gentle:

"As a member of the Soviet, I will naturally do my best to lead everyone."

"However, what we promised Lin An must be done. Our Soviet would never go back on its word! Once we find the card, we'll give it to him right away!"

Their expressions froze, and the smiles on the faces of the surrounding Soviet high-level stiffened.

Give it to Lin An right away after finding it!? Shouldn't we keep it for you first?

Feeling heartache and advising, several high-level officials, embarrassed, couldn't help but speak:

"Lei En, Sir. Before, we didn't know how terrifying the Fourth Stage was, nor did we realize the importance of that card. Moreover, back then we thought, since we had nothing anyway, we agreed to Lin An."

"But now... aren't you about to advance to the Fourth Stage right away? Should we really give him the card?"

It's truly a pity. Back then there was no choice; the entire war zone was on the brink of destruction. For safety's sake, they only asked Lin An to act, agreeing to any demand. But the matter has already been resolved...

Now, to give it away according to the old agreement, they are truly unwilling.

Moreover, calling them "going back on their word" sounds strange to them.

Supplies and equipment are fine, but the card...

His expression solemn, Lei En slowly scanned the crowd and spoke in a low voice:

"I have grown to this point by firmly believing in my own convictions."

"Our war zone is indeed difficult now, but that doesn't mean it will stay that way."

"Since Lin An has contributed, we must fulfill what we promised. Moreover, I privately have an agreement with him; if I break it, I will also be punished by the system."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was slightly startled.

"Lei En, Your Excellency actually has an agreement with Lin An!? Then they naturally couldn't let Lei En be punished. Their expressions hardened, and several high-level officials took a deep breath:"

"Lei En, Commander, if that's the case, we will certainly find the card as soon as possible!"

"Ah, all we regret is dragging you down..."

While boredly holding the meeting, Lin An casually made up how he grew strong in the instance, gaining his current strength, while also devoting some thought to chatting with Xiao Mo Ling.

"Lin An, how did I act?"

On the transport plane, Mo Ling lifted her little foot, her face full of mischief as she privately chatted.

"Not bad, quite like my style."

"Once I finish getting the supplies here, we'll leave the Soviet."

"Leave the Soviet? Are we supposed to go back?"

He looked puzzled. Mo Ling asked doubtfully: In the original plan, Lin An would continue to impersonate Lei En, using the Soviet's power to rapidly level up. If attacked by alien species, he could also rely on his influence in the Soviet to hold them off.

After all, even if the Soviet Union is not in good shape, it can still mobilize quite a few third-rank.

Inside the meeting room, Lin An imperceptibly shook his head:

"The mission has been updated; I need to go back for a trip."

Having said that, he focused his mind on the series of tasks brought by the new title.

"【Firekeeper: Dawn】"

"Series Mission:"

"Mission 1-Force Expansion: Build six safe zones and gain actual control over them. Upon completion, gain 10 strength attribute and 10 spiritual energy."

"Mission 2-Propagation: Spread at least three items of spiritual energy technology to other safe zones, with the spread count not less than 100. Upon completion, gain 10 agility and 10 spiritual energy."

"Mission 3-Ignition: Use a fourth-stage spiritual energy node, and upon meeting the upgrade conditions, elevate the doomsday base vehicle to level 3, unlocking new construction options. Upon completion, gain 10 constitution and 10 spiritual energy."

"Mission 4-Faint Light: Eliminate the hidden mutant 【Corpse Emperor】 near the Qinghai War Zone; this mutant will advance to a fourth-stage mutant in 240 hours! Please eliminate it as soon as possible! Upon completion, gain 10 willpower and 10 spiritual energy."

"Note: After completing the prerequisite mission, the fourth-stage mission will be opened automatically."

Looking at the rewards and requirements of the four major missions, Lin An's thoughts at this moment are no longer on the Soviet Union at all.

Faced with the newly emerged series mission, deep down he seemed to sense a feeling of an impending storm.

【Corpse Emperor】...

The super mutant that only appeared in the second year of the past life has now appeared ahead of schedule.
