Chapter 1288

Tomorrow?

At the sound, everyone jolted; whether it was the leading alien species up front or the mid-tier ones, they all unconsciously wondered.

Is it too fast?

Although they all knew Lin An was one of the elimination targets, even the entire alien species world had spread word of him.

But as the first step after the Descent, they still haven't dealt with the capital's issue.

Occupying the body, they devoured and replaced the central Huaxia war zone.

It sounds simple, but there are far too many problems. Not to mention wanting to disguise themselves, just constantly deceiving the surrounding Military Region to become their reserve vessels, clearing out those little bugs still resisting already takes a lot of time.

Public opinion, propaganda, pretending everything is normal... all of these require a great deal of effort.

Not only that.

The capital's terrain structure is extremely complex; whether it was preparing for the Three Wars before the Apocalypse, or resisting zombies after the Apocalypse, the military had long turned the entire capital into a war fortress.

The underground defense facilities are dense and interconnected, some even stretching hundreds of kilometers.

From the underground city plan, it can be seen that wanting to hide in the capital's underground is actually not difficult.

Unless, letting Third Rank high-level and Fourth Stage existences scan every inch of land, there will always be some that slip through the cracks hiding in a corner...

"Lord Qing Ya, even if it's just another week..."

Besides you two having prepared, you can immediately erupt with Fourth Stage combat power. The remaining two Fourth Stage are still in the familiarization stage...

After another week, I suppose no matter how strong Lin An is, he couldn't possibly become Fourth Stage, right?

The difficulty for a Perfect One to become Fourth Stage is far greater than that of regular promotion.

I think, at the earliest he'll need two months before he could possibly become Fourth Stage! And that's already factoring in his exchange rule!

Even if he forcibly only grasps two rules and promotes at the fastest speed, wouldn't that mean we have even less to worry about? Perfect Ones, their strength lies in having an extra rule...

Kneeling on the ground, he lifted his head.

An officer who has been occupied couldn't help but start to advise.

He wasn't underestimating Lin An; in fact, this is the most normal line of thought.

The human world uses cards, the Alien Species world uses altars. Both rely on external force to become Fourth Stage.

This method is the fastest, but it usually also requires a two-month adaptation period, not even counting familiarity with how to use the rules.

But relying on one's own talent to transform, or using skills and such to promote, one almost needs to fully understand the characteristics of the rules in order to slowly increase mastery speed. This time is usually around two to three years! It is also the point in Lin An's memory when the human side began to appear non-card Fourth Stage.

You think Lin An won't be that fast, and just having become Fourth Stage, how could he possibly match our Fourth Stage?

Moreover, our numbers occupy an overwhelming advantage?

Yes.. I...

Looking down at the Alien Species kneeling beneath his feet, Qing Ya's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness; almost without waiting for the other to finish speaking, he stomped the opposite's head fiercely into the ground.

Bang!!

Under the eruption of Fourth Stage power, it was like an earthquake, instantly killing this already intermediate Third Stage Alien Species.

The exploding head, like a tomato, splattered with a bang onto the faces of the surrounding Alien Species.

In an instant, everyone was horrified.

Without giving any chance to react, seeing him stomp to death the Alien Species who had spoken up, Qing Ya abruptly changed from his previous calm, roaring out in an extremely agitated, ferocious expression:

"Who dares to say such things! Whoever does is a sinner!"

"Wait!?"

"Where does your confidence come from to dare wait for the growth of a Perfect One!?"

"Don't talk about tomorrow! If possible, I wish I could kill him right now!"

"No time left! This is our last chance! Our civilization cannot tolerate any risk, nor bear the cost of any failure!"

"Don't apply your past experiences here!"

"A single Perfect One born from a species and civilization giving their all can unleash unimaginable power."

"Only by strangling him in the cradle do we have hope to truly survive here!"

His chest heaving rapidly, Qing Ya looked at the Alien Species beneath his feet as if looking at an idiot.

Only they, these High Level ones, know just how deep the Alien Species world's fear of Perfect Ones goes! Especially whenever they recall from the first discovery of Lin An to Lin An's performance in the confrontation match, they feel an inexplicable fear.

Too fast, really too fast...

Clearly the difficulty of increasing strength grows geometrically with each level, but this law simply does not exist for Lin An.

At every same level, Lin An is an invincible existence—how could they not be wary? He truly fears that after another month, or even a week, a system announcement will instantly sound.

Once Lin An becomes Fourth Stage and realizes their murderous intent, he will likely flee and hide directly!

At this rate, if they strengthen for another year and a half, they might as well wait for death!

Therefore, no matter how much they value it, it's not excessive! They will not allow themselves to lose the final chance to kill Lin An due to their arrogance!

"Qing Ya, you're too nervous."

Looking at the trembling Alien Species all around, beside Qing Ya, another Alien Species possessing Fourth Stage power couldn't help but advise him.

"We can take action immediately tomorrow, but if we act tomorrow we cannot destroy Faction: Long An."

"Once we startle the snake, it's easy to scare him away."

"We need to set up a battlefield, then lure him in! Otherwise, without a locked space, that guy could possibly escape."

Compared to Qing Ya's worries, the speaking Fourth Stage is obviously much calmer.

He had already maximally overestimated Lin An's strength, but four Fourth Stages plus a bunch of cannon fodder consuming Lin An's strength—such a lineup is simply overwhelming.

You know, they are all veteran Fourth Stages; under normal circumstances, one-on-one, they are invincible against Awakened Ones who have just entered Fourth Stage.

To be blunt, at this point they are wielding the world's strongest power to fight an ant.

Qing Ya's worries are really unwarranted.

Not to mention the subsequent Overlord Descent, the Fourth Stage Advanced Annihilator Overlord, which is the strongest besides the Sovereign. What can Lin An fight with?

At worst, forcefully break the door, risking to interrupt the door-opening ritual and act personally.

Of course, perhaps in three or five years there will really be an unexpected event.

But after they launched the plan at any cost, the crisis has been completely eliminated.

Hearing the safety from the same rank, Qing Ya fell silent for a moment, then silently nodded.

"Perhaps, I overestimated too much."

"I just feel...."

As Qing Ya spoke, his eyes flickered, as if recalling Lin An's rise experience, and the scene of reversing in the competition to 'slaughter' humans to gain points.

"He... is even more like a monster than us?"

His expression froze.

Beside Qing Ya, the Fourth Stage speaker opened his mouth, for some reason he also seemed to have this feeling.

"No way, we will definitely win this time!"
