Chapter 1201: Test Epilogue

He's back!?

"He came back just like that!?"

Tai Er gripped the two vials of reagent tightly, originally intending to study them, but he blankly listened to the familiar sonic boom in the distance.

Just one person, and from that direction again.

Who else could it be but Lord Lei En?

Even if that lord suffered a setback and retreated, the pursuers wouldn't be just this one, right?

For a moment, everyone tensed up, looking up and observing intently.

"Only a few minutes!?"

"The next wave of insects hasn't even started yet!"

On the ground, after the large group of Awakened Ones came to their senses, they looked in surprise at Lin An returning at speed; he seemed uninjured. If Tai Er hadn't told them that the lord's disappearance wasn't leaving but going to deal with the Alliance, they would have thought Lin An just took a quick stroll and came back.

"Did he not go, or is it already over!?"

"Do we have two minutes!? Flying there would take that long anyway!?"

Many Soviet high-level officials exchanged glances involuntarily; no wonder they thought that way. The insect swarm is the insect swarm, the Awakened Ones are the Awakened Ones.

To them, the pressure from the Alliance is no less than that from the insect swarm.

The Awakened Ones' methods are endless, not to mention they can even flee!

Given Lin An's tone just now, even several hundred thousand pigs couldn't be killed in such a short time...

"It must have been too troublesome, so he temporarily retreated..."

"We need to watch our words, lest we embarrass Lord Lei En..."

Lowering their voices, several high-level officials secretly made up their minds, preparing not to mention what just happened.

They didn't doubt Lei En had the strength to deal with the opponent; they thought Lord Lei En might have acted too hastily. Charging straight in would indeed be very difficult.

Normally, they should coordinate with the insect swarm...

Having thought that, Tai Er also realized this, so he squeezed out a smile and hurriedly shouted lowly at the noisy crowd.

Seeing Lin An begin to slow down, he respectfully went forward to meet him:

"Lord Lei En, we were just going to say, you should take our points first."

"Keeping them with you is far better than keeping them with us."

While speaking, Tai Er without hesitation initiated a points transaction.

He and several high-level officials had already discussed this matter; although putting an entire war zone's gains on Lei En seemed somewhat inappropriate, after witnessing the opponent's terrifying combat power, everyone suppressed their objections.

Pre-apocalypse notions are no longer suitable now.

A single powerhouse concentrating resources is far stronger than a bunch of seemingly decent mid-level forces.

The qualitative change brought by power is far more terrifying than they imagined!

He secretly observed Lin An's expression; Tai Er tried to discern something. With no change in aura, it seemed no battle had occurred.

However, the bloody smell is a bit strong... could it be from those insects just now?

Just as Tai Er was carefully pondering,

Unexpectedly, Lin An calmly refused his transaction:

"Notify everyone, mobilize 20% of the Awakened Ones to the European Alliance."

"I'll be leaving for a while later."

"Trade the points to me on the last day."

"Huh!?"

As Lin An descended back to the gathering place, Tai Er listened somewhat blankly to his orders.

"Disappearing again?"

"Also drafting Awakened Ones to the European Alliance's gathering point? Are they preparing for war?"

The high-level official listening nearby had a conflicted expression; after struggling a moment, he blurted out involuntarily:

"Marshal Lei En, we have no objection to your order, but..."

He pointed awkwardly at the Third Rank behind him and explained in a low voice:

"Our Third Rank consumption is too great; since you won't let us devour the Heavenly Eye People, we haven't dared to eat them so far."

"Their strength has greatly diminished now; if we go to war, the losses will be huge..."

He didn't doubt Lei En could lead them to victory; but given their fearlessness toward the insect swarm, he really didn't want to suffer further losses.

That's about enough..

Points have been cleared, the crisis resolved; the European Alliance might even descend into internal chaos and flee on its own. The first-place quota has already been locked in.

Any more deaths would truly not be worth it...

You should know that each Third Rank we bring is, in reality, the elite of various Safe Zones, even leaders!

How could he bear to give them up?

If the order hadn't come from Lei En, he would have outright refused without hesitation! The cost of greed is something they cannot afford!

He furrowed his brow,

Lin An turned his head to look at the middle-aged officer advising against him, and also realized the officer probably misunderstood something...

He is accustomed to speaking briefly.

"It's not war, it's capture."

"Whoosh"

A white light flashed, and Lin An casually tossed out a head. Seeing the jaw-pierced, deathly white skull, it instantly startled Tai Er and the others.

"What is this..!?"

"An Dongni Ao!!"

As representatives of each war zone, all Third Level instantly recognized this familiar face.

Although he died horribly, it did not prevent them from recognizing him.

Looking at the terrified expression still lingering on the skull, everyone could imagine how fearful An Dongni Ao was at that time.

One sword, head blown apart... This death is too horrible..

At the same time, the hearts of the sixty-seven Soviet High Level all twitched unwillingly.

Their gazes all fixed on Lin An's face, some unable to believe blurted out:

"You really killed them!?"

The European Union leaders are all dead; this question seems like nonsense.

Lin An hesitated slightly, then shook his head:

"There are still many Second Level left."

"Go take over them, farm points."

"Alright, I'll leave for a while; if anything happens, have Tai Er notify me."

Without further words, Lin An glanced at Tai Er and then disappeared again. As far as he was concerned, he had done everything he could. If the Soviet war zone could still run into trouble under these circumstances, he would really have to consider giving up on them.

What he wanted was an industrial base, a great power that would work for him, not a useless burden that just cries and shouts for help.

Seeing Lin An disappear again, after a moment everyone finally came to their senses, involuntarily sucking in a breath of cold air.

Looking at An Dongni Ao's corpse on the ground, for some reason they felt an indescribable emotion.

That's half of Europe...

That's An Dongni Ao, who had risen to fame and was recently praised as being able to rival Lin An..

He died too suddenly, even somewhat laughable...

Compared to the scene of Lin An crushing the insect swarm, the impact of this single head is far greater than anything before.

Confused, doubting life.

Tai Er gave a bitter smile, looking with mixed feelings at the spot where Lin An disappeared.

"What is the meaning of our existence..."

"Nation... war zone... these things, are they really so fragile..."

Silence, a silent silence.

The entire Soviet High Level let out a sigh; one senior general gave a bitter laugh and patted Tai Er on the shoulder.

"The world... really has changed.."
