Chapter 1113

On the returning fighter jet, Lin An roughly flipped through the book Chu An had indicated he wanted to read.

Under the boost of hyper-effective thinking and high will, it wasn't too difficult. Learning ability was nearly tens of times that of an ordinary person, so I believed I could master it soon. After all, part of the information was also present in the thought fragments of the Second Will.

According to the Second Will, in the 'long' hell, all kinds of special events encountered required him to grasp as much knowledge as possible.

However, what struck Lin An as odd was that this time the crisis, the Second Will seemed to have disappeared entirely, not appearing at all.

Vaguely, in hindsight, he also guessed the reason.

Chu An wouldn't let himself die, especially with Zhang Tie following; if faced with an irresistible danger, Chu An would certainly be the first to prepare.

The previous few times the Second Will appeared, it was entirely when Chu An could not provide help.

The Second Will doesn't want to die, so he must save himself!

The two people seemed to have reached some tacit understanding, each secretly 'protecting' him. Only Chu An thought of himself as the spark, while the Second Will simply didn't want to die.

His own life and death were like a chessboard, with the two secretly contending under the premise of not overturning the board.

His feelings were complex; although it was just his own speculation, upon realizing this, Lin An couldn't help but feel a bitter smile rise in his heart.

He also didn't know whether to feel relieved or sad.

Both would try to ensure they didn't die, but each had his own plan.

However, this didn't mean he could mistakenly think that all dangers he encountered were resolved by the two. Lin An thought clearly: if truly any crisis could be solved, why would Chu An still need him? The Second Will would have already overturned the table.

If nothing unexpected happened, the confrontation and calculation between the two likely treated each other as trump cards—hoping to kill the other while also wanting the other to exert effort to ensure his own survival. And given his own survival, the Second Will would hope to let him 'lose control' as much as possible, whereas Chu An, to set a trap against the Second Will, would instead hide information, even using his own loss of control as bait to lure the Second Will into revealing a flaw.

For example, the red spider in the city defense battle—Chu An was calculating the Second Will.

And this time, it is very likely that the Second Will deliberately stayed hidden, forcing Chu An to reveal his trump card of Faith Power.

From this conversation with Chu An, one could hear that Chu An really didn't want to use Faith Power so early, even resorting to the phrase 'no way'.

Faith Power would inflict great damage on one's own will, obviously what the Second Will hoped to see.

Thinking this way..

Habitually tapping the chair back, Lin An wearily rubbed his brow.

Thinking this way, the Second Will should be considered to have won once.

Or rather, he won the bet once.

After all, this time was too dangerous—dangerous to the point that Chu An thought a few seconds' difference might mean his death.

In this situation, he also wasn't clear on how the Second Will would break the situation if Chu An didn't intervene.

Very complicated.

The scheming and causal relationships among the three were like a tightly knotted spider web hidden in the shadows, with no one able to see the final outcome.

No longer thinking further, after putting down the book in his hand, Lin An lightly exhaled and glanced at the clouds outside the hatch window.

"Knowledge is power.."

Muttering a few sentences under his breath, he also hadn't expected that advancing to the Fourth Stage would no longer rely on a strong body, but on the mind.

Unconsciously glancing at Zhang Tie, who was voraciously eating haws, a thought spontaneously arose in his mind.

This bear... what should be done about him?

"Captain Lin, what are you looking at me for?"

"Do you want pizza? I added lots of cheese!"

With his mouth stuffed full, Xiong Hanzi sucked in a mouthful, swallowing the stretchy cheese into his belly, then stared with his wise eyes and waved a piece of pizza.

Since discovering many Western dishes in the fighter jet's stored food, Zhang Tie, who hadn't really eaten such things before, actually took a liking to them. Especially since they were simple to make—just heat them up. This could save his bear's life.

"Don't eat yet, let me show you a few pieces of equipment."

Helplessly shaking his head, a white light flashed in Lin An's hand, and the equipment previously dropped by the corpse emperor neatly filled the entire table. In an instant, a bloody and rich spiritual pressure surged through the cabin, even causing the focused Yun Tian to startle.

"Holy shit?"

Zhang Tie, who had been possessed since Lin An's battle began, didn't know the process; when he woke up he was already on the fighter jet. Seeing Lin An pull out the equipment, he didn't even bother with his pizza, instantly stunned!

"Captain Lin, this is what that woman dropped?!"

"Holy shit!? Holy shit!?"

Looking at the neatly arranged Epic Tier equipment gleaming with orange-yellow light, his saliva was about to flow out.

Seeing Zhang Tie's appearance, Lin An couldn't help but put on a smile.

Although he had just glanced at it briefly, it looked the same.

"Two sets, six Epic pieces."

After saying that softly, Lin An also felt some emotion. One life versus six lives—the harvest from killing one corpse emperor topped all his gains since his rebirth.

It must be said, mutants with brains find acquiring equipment far easier than Awakened Ones.

If these pieces of equipment were released to the outside world, they would likely drive all survivors worldwide mad.

"Captain Lin, how should we handle these pieces of equipment?"

"Why don't you put them on?"

His eyes almost glued to the equipment, Zhang Tie smacked his lips in admiration, then unconsciously looked toward him.

The next second, Lin An gave a light chuckle and shook his head:

"The two sets and three Epic pieces are yours."

"Take the Immortal's set, the Bloodstained Belt, the Tentacle Cloak, and the Blood Soul Pendant. Leave the rest."

As the words fell, Zhang Tie suddenly froze, looking at him in disbelief.

"Lin... Captain Lin... these are for me?!"

"You don't want them?!"

Although he never cared about equipment, Lin An giving him whatever to use, and the dropped items always being handed over directly, in Zhang Tie's heart Lin An could even take his life and he wouldn't mind these things. But now...

He, who usually loved browsing chat channels, naturally knew the value of these pieces of equipment.

With these Equipment, frankly speaking, any Three Fourth Rank can easily join the ranks of top experts.

Lin An nodded, then directly pushed the allocated Equipment in front of Zhang Tie.

He thought very clearly; his equipment set route had already been locked onto the Death God set and the Star Summoner.

Not only does the Death God set match his ability, but the key lies in the scene he saw.

Although the Immortal set is strong, even if placed in the Past Life it is a renowned existence, but it does not suit him. Pure defense and strength boost, on the contrary, suits Zhang Tie.

An individual's strength is ultimately limited by energy; the team members' strength should also catch up.
