Chapter 1157: Great Purge Plan!

Ten seconds later.

Spiritual energy retracted, the blade returned to its sheath.

Lin An looked expressionlessly at the kneeling Brahma people, his gaze idly sweeping toward the batch of Second Level still stunned in the rear.

Whether it was his overwhelming aura or not, the Second Level Awakened Ones he glanced at shuddered all over, then with a plop they trembled and knelt on the spot.

What a joke—Third Levels are like chickens and dogs in his hands.

With these Second Levels of ours, facing that monster, isn't it just a puff of breath away from death?

As the only Awakened One still standing in the whole field, Lin An, while a few Brahma people acting as informers followed behind him, felt, amidst their lament, a hint of relief.

In this world, nothing comforts people more than seeing others worse off than themselves...

Demon Lin An's strength is indeed monstrous. Their capture is normal. Didn't you see the first Third Level who died? He was obviously much stronger than us, yet he died without leaving a trace.

Their surrender isn't shameful either.

Ignoring everyone's mixed feelings, Lin An turned his gaze to the Third Levels before him and spoke calmly:

"Who is Salman?"

"Step forward yourself."

The person contacting the informer was Salman; presumably, the communication device is on him.

Hearing Lin An's voice, the nose‑ringed man questioned lifted his head in terror, his face stricken, he shakily pointed to the pile of debris behind Lin An:

"Big... sir..."

"The first you killed... was Salman!"

Lin An;....

One minute later.

Amidst the scattered debris, Lin An wordlessly picked up something that looked like a transparent plastic board.

According to the interrogation, this is the communication device Salman obtained before entering the confrontation match.

The plastic board is about the size of a phone, displaying a string of black‑white text, resembling an old pager from long ago.

Upon taking it, the system's prompt followed:

"Krulez's contact device: blue special prop"

"After use it consumes spiritual energy, allowing contact with Awakened Ones within a 1000‑kilometer radius, and can be used on selected groups."

"This prop can be used in any situation."

Not a bad prop, kind of interesting.

Looking at the plastic board still stained with blood in his hand, Lin An was slightly surprised.

Although the range isn't as large as he imagined, it's barely usable. Judging by the dungeon cleared by the Brahma War Zone, the loot is indeed not bad.

A thousand kilometers?

Judging from my recent interrogation, the first to locate the gathering point wasn't Salman but another group of Brahma people. Salman only had the communication device, and he'd simply contacted them not long ago.

With a thousand‑kilometer range, I don't know if I can reach the Awakened Ones of the Capital Military Region and Long An.

However, Lin An also realized that the Brahma people who first found the gathering point should be nearby within that thousand kilometers.

Let's try first.

After editing a piece of text, Lin An unreservedly sent his findings to the Capital Military Region. Of course, he didn't reveal his coordinates.

The capital has alien species; he isn't sure whether alien species might have mixed into this trial as well.

In his plan, he still intends to avoid those capital people as much as possible.

Although according to Chu An's speculation, alien species at this stage are unlikely to possess a Fourth Stage to attach to humans, otherwise they'd have come hunting him already.

But out of vigilance, Lin An cannot let his guard down.

A few seconds later, as the return prompt sounded, Lin An couldn't help but frown.

"Out of range? Not found?"

The person he contacted was Zhang Yong, who also participated in this confrontation match.

Try again.

The contact chosen was Lihao.

As for the few military personnel he knows, Lin An could only think of this person for now.

But a few seconds later the same failure reminder came again. On the other hand, dozens of the selected Long An members are actually within the thousand‑kilometer range.

"The people over there in the capital… uh… I mean, the people I know aren't within range, are they…"

His heart sank.

In his plan, he still hopes the Capital Military Region can cooperate with him to drive the Awakened Ones into the central zone. Even if they just listen to him without absorbing spiritual energy, it's fine. In the whole apocalyptic battlefield, any war zone or faction that recklessly absorbs spiritual energy will cause an uncontrollable disaster.

A few people would be fine—maybe they'd just get eaten by worms and that'd be the end.

But if an area has enough Awakened Ones, worm tides will keep surging until they're defeated and scattered. Especially the somewhat stronger Awakened Ones, once they flee far away, will spread like a plague and kill everyone.

"Forget it—let's first catch the next batch of Brahma people and then talk."

Lin An's eyes turned slightly cold; he noticed that before his arrival, this unit had already "eaten" many of the Heaven Eye Tribe. A strong strange fragrance spread, more or less clinging to the remaining people.

He showed no mercy whatsoever.

In the upcoming operation, Lin An doesn't want a swarm of worms trailing behind him. Having absorbed spiritual energy once is fine; the strange fragrance‑attracted worm tide shouldn't be too many. But if their numbers grow large, the risk becomes enormous.

"Those who have absorbed spiritual energy, step forward."

Without hesitation.

Lin An spoke directly, indicating that this batch of Third Levels should step forward.

Among the Third Levels he killed, Salman had absorbed spiritual energy but is already dead; the rest still have plenty who slipped through the net.

I don't know what Lin An intends to do.

While hesitating, two relatively strong Brahma people stood up with worried faces and honestly stood in front of Lin An.

"Sir, is there any problem?"

"Are you asking how the absorption effect is?"

Carefully watching Lin An's expression, they thought it over and could only conclude that Lin An wanted to ask this.

Forcing a fawning smile, a third-rank Awakened One with a strong strange fragrance on his body pointed behind:

"Those Heavenly Eye people are really amazing!"

"I only absorbed four, and my spiritual energy..."

"Bang!"

Not waiting for the man to finish his fawning words, Lin An instantly smashed his upper body with a palm.

In the sudden outbreak of killing, the remaining person was instantly frightened into collapse; however, his fate was the same as his companion's—he couldn't even beg for mercy, and Lin An, with a cold stare, threw another punch, directly blasting the man's brain.

Trembling all over, the remaining third-rank who had thought he was safe now looked at Lin An as if looking at a devil.

"Why!? Why kill them just for absorbing spiritual energy!?"

"Haven't they already surrendered!? Could it be that this monster in front of them has no intention of letting them live, but only wants their kill points!?"

Too lazy to explain, Lin An shook the blood off his hand and directly issued the order:

"Burn the corpses! Take all the Heavenly Eye people and follow me!"

As his words fell, Lin An directly sent a message to all Awakened Ones within a thousand kilometers:

"I am Lin An!"

"Everyone is forbidden from absorbing Heavenly Eye spiritual energy! Violators will be killed without mercy!"

Having no intention of hiding his identity, Lin An clearly understood that if he sent the message anonymously, there would be no deterrence at all! So he might as well tell everyone that whoever disobeys, he Lin An will take action! As for how many people will be deterred?

"It doesn't matter!"

"As long as we kill enough! Kill fast enough! Someone will eventually obey!"

"Purge, starting now! He can only gamble, betting that his speed is faster than the speed at which this group of Awakened Ones act foolishly!"

As the message was sent out simultaneously, the captured Brahma Awakened Ones stared blankly at the received information. In an instant, they realized that the mysterious person before them was none other than Lin An!
