Chapter 1105

Bang」

「Bang!! Bang!! 」

He heavily smashed into the ground; even though the distance from the explosion core had already been blown several kilometers away, Zhang Tie, swept up by the huge wave, still couldn't stop flying backward.

Like a bowling ball, he continuously smashed and collapsed the scorching ground, then bounced a few times; in the deep pit, Zhang Tie finally steadied his posture and hurriedly climbed up.

Unable to open eyes

A massive amount of light formed continuous flashes above the entire amusement park; the violent colliding plasma jets, under unknown conditions, formed bright spots, like a roaring sun. Countless giant mushroom clouds mixed together, eventually seeming to merge, gathering into a sky‑rising dust column.

If viewed from space, the airspace above the Qing Shan battlefield at this moment looked as if laser beams were being sprayed out, continuously sparkling.

Everything visible around was swept flat by the successive shockwaves, like a wheat field hit by a meteorite; hundred‑meter‑high buildings bent over, all their glass and exterior walls shattered by the blast, resembling a fallen skeleton.

Car debris and stones flew up to hundreds of meters in the air blast, finally falling like shells from the sky and striking the ground.

The heat wave surged sharply; within a seven‑kilometer radius of the whole amusement park and its core, the space had already become a purgatory.

Although the yield of the explosives detonated by Lin An was not large, the destructive power brought by fifteen consecutive blasts remained unmatched.

It can be said that this has never happened in human history!

He felt his scorching backside, Zhang Tie grimaced, feeling as if his buttocks had been cooked.

Nausea and dry heaves; the radiation stream from fifteen consecutive nuclear explosions could be called terrifying. If a Geiger counter were present on site, it would likely max out within a second.

Suppressing his nausea, Zhang Tie struggled to climb to his feet.

Fortunately, his physique was strong and he had resistance from having previously endured a nuclear blast; otherwise he truly felt his cells would, as Chu the pervert said, shatter at the genetic level.

After coming to his senses, seeing the scene before him that resembled an apocalyptic judgment, even if Zhang Tie were foolish he would understand why Lin Dui had kicked him away.

Not having time to think further, he gazed fearfully at the distant light representing destruction and shouted hoarsely:

「Lin Dui！？」

「Lin Dui！！？」

Shouting and shouting, he couldn't help but roughly wipe away his tears, then simply sprinted madly toward the explosion's center.

At this moment, his mind was filled with Lin Dui and the Zombie Emperor perishing together, his heart brimming with grief and indignation to the point of despair.

「I'm not dead yet.. 」

Just as Zhang Tie had not yet taken a few steps, a helpless sigh suddenly sounded in his ear.

「Lin Dui！？」

He looked over in astonishment, only to see Lin An casually tear open a space, then somewhat unsteadily step out riding the spatial current.

「Don't howl! 」

「That monster isn't dead yet! 」

Having no time to say more, Lin An's face turned pale as he grabbed Zhang Tie and ran.

His original plan had been to detonate the first batch of nuclear bombs while grappling with the Zombie Emperor, but as the conversation progressed into its later stage, Lin An keenly realized there would be no better opportunity than just then. However, likewise, at close range the explosion left him no time to simply blink away; he was forced to resort to Void Walk.

But the blast effect was worse than imagined; almost as it happened, the Zombie Emperor reacted. In the final instant, after Lin An rushed into the spatial rift, all he could see was a mass of continually expanding blood‑colored light shield blocking everything.

The mission information wasn't updated, obviously the Zombie Emperor was still alive.

「Lin Dui！？ That monster still isn't dead！？」

「You just were.. 」

Full of questions he wanted to ask, Lin An grabbed him and tossed him aside; the ensuing battle didn't require his participation. For Lin An, he had always assumed the Zombie Emperor would be surrounded by many Mutants, and Zhang Tie could help share the pressure during a grapple, or at least hold out for a few seconds.

But now it seems that unless he expends all the nuclear bombs, he doesn't intend to let Zhang Tie join the fight. The nukes can't kill the Zombie Emperor, but a dozen or so are more than enough to blast that simple‑minded bear to death.

「Faking it! 」

He answered Zhang Tie's question without good grace; time was pressing, and he currently had no mind to explain anything to Zhang Tie.

「That monster absolutely knows information we don't, but she got too hasty in the latter half! 」

Recalling his conversation with the Zombie Emperor, Lin An gave a cold snort and stopped thinking further.

Indeed, the first half of what the Zombie Emperor revealed truly shocked him, and perhaps much of what she gave was actually true.

But that woman should never have compared humans to ants!

If he hadn't been reborn, he might really have been bluffed; after all, the Savior System is indeed somewhat uncanny, and given his special identity, Lin An isn't sure what lies behind the Savior System.

But the problem is, he has been reborn! Lin An remembers clearly that in his past life, the Savior System never intervened, humanity was almost doomed, whereas Alien Species kept the Mutants in check! Especially if the Second Will wasn't deceiving him, the Huaxia theater, strictly speaking, was destroyed at his hands.

Where would the hand to crush ants come from? Crush himself?

Even if, after all, he were to strengthen himself further into an Aberrant Mutant and lose all will, it would still be fine to have previously sent AnXia and the others into a dungeon, or even directly taken the Doomsday Base Vehicle to Mars!

Anyway, he had already become a monster in his past life; at worst he could become one again—let destruction be destruction!

Lin An clearly knows he's absolutely not a good person; he's willing to try to stop all this from happening, willing to make an effort. But that doesn't mean he's willing to sacrifice himself. Essentially he and the Second Will are the same person, except the Second Will has completely abandoned the last bottom line, living only for himself.

Moreover, the Zombie Emperor's fabricated tale about blood and a child, to Lin An's ears, is full of holes.

Taking a zombie doctor as an example, he could figure it out with his toes: once the Zombie Emperor regained consciousness, the first human she ate would be her own child.

「Lin Dui, what should we do now？！」

Seeing that the nuclear bombs hadn't killed the Zombie Emperor, Xiong Hanzi, startled, hurriedly asked.

「You wait; I'll lure that monster to the previous floating warhead zone—if one round doesn't kill it, I'll do two! 」

His gaze was fierce.

Having long prepared, Lin An had made up his mind. Before seriously injuring the Zombie Emperor, he wouldn't even engage in combat; that monster so desperately wanted to control him that if wounded in close‑quarters grappling, big trouble might ensue.

The next second, just as Lin An turned and charged back toward the blast core, sounds like the earth being torn apart suddenly rang out.

All that could be seen beneath the massive dust cloud, in the bottomless pit, was a gigantic crimson hand a hundred meters wide clawing up onto the pit's edge.

「Lin.... An！！」

Like a fiend from hell, the Zombie Emperor's resentful voice, as she crawled up from the deep pit, echoed across the heavens.
