Chapter 1084

The small Meeting Room was silent.

: none.

Huaxia is a glossary entry; the word "safety" is a common term, not a proper name; there are no other terms.

Huaxia War Zone is not in the glossary and needs translation; the component "War Zone" is also not in the glossary.

As island nationals frequently hit by various disasters, their yearning for the vast mainland is almost etched into their bones. To the Huaxia Survivors, it's nothing special, even the plains and seas they've grown tired of. In their eyes, that is the most Safety harbor, a paradise treasured as jewels.

Every time earthquakes, tsunamis, and storms rage, how they long for a continent where they can take refuge.

Meme is a glossary term; Supernatural Incident is a glossary term; Huaxia War Zone appears again.

If they also had such vast land, where could they not hide? How could they be close to national extinction!!!?

This is the tragedy of a small nation; their living space isn't even as large as land that nobody else wants!

Regarding this, they are almost jealous of the Huaxia war zone to the point of madness, hating the heavens, why isn't it them occupying that place! With their people's excellence, how could they have fallen to the point of being others' dogs!!!?

After a long silence, a Third Rank Awakened One hesitantly spoke up:

"Lord Ban Teng Shinichi, I know what you said is correct. But what should we do? Do we really have a chance to defeat them?"

He let out a bitter laugh:

"First, whether other war zones are willing to join forces with us is one thing; even if they do, can we beat them? Just one Lin An..."

He couldn't get the words out.

Almost all the Third Ranks present shared his view.

"Yeah, but what good would joining forces do? Would it just make it easier for Lin An to kill us? We've teamed up before in the trials. What was the result?"

"Facing that monster, they felt only deep helplessness, especially after hearing that Lin An had already reached Third Rank Intermediate."

"Although saying this hurts morale and is spineless,"

"But in fact, in the trial battles, Lin An had completely crushed them. Many Third Ranks who returned would have nightmares at night."

"Speaking of which, they got off easy. I heard that after returning, the first thing the Korean War Zone did was kill the new president as a sacrifice to heaven."

"There's no helping it; we brought out so many elites, but only a handful of Third Ranks came back—someone has to take the blame."

"Looking at the crowd lacking any confidence, Lord Ban Teng Shinichi's eyes flashed with anger, but after a moment he suppressed his dissatisfaction with them and spoke in a low voice:"

"First, other war zones will definitely join forces with us! You don't need to worry about that!"

"Everyone can see it! The Doomsday System is just raising gu! Only one country per continent can survive! If the Huaxia War Zone gains any more advantage, we might as well wait to die!"

"Second, you might not know one thing..."

"As he spoke, the elder threw out a report, which clearly showed intelligence that the Korean War Zone had been hit by a nuclear bomb."

"He gave a cold laugh:"

"Don't you remember that the Korean War Zone once detonated a nuclear bomb on its own soil, and the news of Lin An's massacre there?"

"Let me tell you! I've already contacted the Korean War Zone's high level and confirmed that Lin An indeed did this!"

"Moreover, the cause was that the Korean War Zone had once 'used' some Hua Guo people, which made Lin An fly into a rage!"

"Just think—his desire for revenge is so strong that he even ran ten thousand miles to slaughter the Korean War Zone. Which war zone do you think he'd spare?"

"Such a person who must repay every grudge, I have no doubt that given the chance he would kill everyone except his own war zone! This guy is nothing but a naked nationalist—utterly devoid of humanity!"

"Hearing Lord Ban Teng Shinichi's angry words, the Third Ranks present were startled."

"So the rumors were true!"

"Just thinking that Lin An was so perverse as to cross war zones to take revenge on a country sent a chill through them—their own war zone also had many people of Hua Guo descent..."

"Seeing that everyone understood his meaning, Lord Ban Teng Shinichi said no more:"

"So, under these circumstances, other war zones will definitely join forces with us. Otherwise, if Lin An one day appears on our own soil, who could stop him?"

"As for the number of Third Ranks, I plan to implement the Heavenly Ghost Plan nationwide!"

"As his words fell, everyone's faces suddenly stiffened."

"Lord Shinichi! Is this too risky?!"

"Once a problem arises, we won't be able to control it at all!"

"Heavenly Ghost, in fact, is a strengthening method that the Eastern Ying War Zone accidentally discovered while dealing with Supernatural Incidents."

"When encountering certain special Supernatural Incidents, if one does not die on the spot, they can voluntarily become a ghost, and Awakened Ones have a chance to become the vessel of a supernatural entity, like a ghost possessing a body."

"After becoming a ghost, an Awakened One's attributes greatly increase and they gain some immunity to damage; of course, the price is that their mind will be eroded and their life force will be continually drained."

"Seeing the crowd wanting to speak out against it, the elder gave a cold laugh:"

"What other choice do we have?"

"Becoming a ghost at least offers hope to reach Third Rank and serve the country for a time; even after reaching Third Rank, one might not necessarily be unable to resist the erosion of Supernatural Incidents."

"If we fail, we're dead anyway—we might as well actively feed the ghosts!"

"Seeing that the elder's mind was made up, the Third Ranks present had no choice but to acquiesce."

"What about Lin An, then?"

"Even if we unite and gain several hundred more Third Ranks to offset the Huaxia War Zone's advantage, who will take on Lin An? Ordinary Third Ranks facing him is almost like suicide—though his speed being slow would be fine, at least we could surround and kill him. But Lin An can teleport!"

"Hearing the worries of several people, Lord Ban Teng Shinichi suddenly gave a strange smile, as if he had expected this all along:"

"Perhaps it's very hard for humans to oppose Lin An.."

"But ghosts, can."

"Let him taste the suffering we have endured.."

"He clapped his hands, and the next second, a figure suddenly walked out from behind the screen in the Meeting Room."

"Everyone instinctively looked up, and in an instant, their eyes were filled with fear."

"What… is that…!?"

"In the dim light, a somewhat gaunt, middle-aged man of unprepossessing appearance walked out, hunched and stiff."

On his left and right shoulders, two completely dead‑white deep‑blue small boys with hands clasped around their knees were lowering their heads and crouching there.
