Chapter 1401

Three minutes later.

Lin An's expression changed repeatedly.

Two huge monsters, their expressions somewhat strange, stared at him while clutching half a tail, their auras restrained, standing before him.

Are you mutated humans?

He couldn't help but ask.

Although the other party showed no hostility and even seemed worried about him, Lin An didn't stop immediately, but chose to observe for a while.

Until he saw, in the distance where he had fled, something like red threads, he suddenly stopped.

He could feel that these red threads, hidden like a spiderweb, seemed to envelop the entire area.

A strong sixth sense told him that touching the threads would invite deadly danger.

Not knowing what this was, Lin An also realized that the monster behind him calling out to him truly had no hostility, instead regarding him as a native human and instinctively not wanting him to come to harm.

Just...

Even after confirming that these two monsters were mutated humans, Lin An was still somewhat shocked.

In his perception, these two monsters were completely monsters, even purer than Alien Species.

He had probed their mental fluctuations and could confirm that their mental fluctuations were extremely weak, akin to a corpse's brainwaves.

Humans, Alien Species, and even Mutants—any sentient being—would not have such low fluctuations.

Thus, subconsciously, Lin An found it hard to associate them with thinking beings, merely regarding them as special monsters in this space.

Hearing Lin An's question, the two monsters, each several hundred meters tall, froze for a moment, then glanced at each other.

Their thought reaction was incredibly swift.

Native humans have seen them before.

Lin An's question was clearly wrong.

You're not a native human!?

No, you have our aura!

No, a native human couldn't have such a powerful body, nor possess high-level rules! Who are you!?

Their emotional changes resembled those of a child.

Although their intellect was intact, their control over emotions was clearly prone to anger and explosiveness.

Seeing the mutated humans suddenly question him and instantly shift their attitude, Lin An's heart sank, and he could only quickly explain:

I am human.

Just a human from another world.

We are enemies of the Alien Species! Not with you!

Using the simplest, clearest language to express his stance and origin, half a minute later, Lin An, lost in thought, watched them exchange glances, as if the mutated humans were silent.

Yet he faintly guessed they were using some kind of mental sharing? Discussing something.

He could see they were greatly shocked, but fortunately their hostility had diminished by half.

In the silence, both sides kept observing each other.

Looking at the mutated humans before him, who seemed even more monstrous than monsters, Lin An couldn't help but feel a surge of awe.

What tremendous physical strength.

From the beginning until the mutated humans suppressed the Alien Species, he had still been guessing what the situation was.

But after personally witnessing the mutated humans' true forms, Lin An finally realized what they had turned themselves into.

Purely relying on flesh, using blood and flesh to oppose the rules.

Truly unimaginable power.

However, what puzzled Lin An was that although these mutated humans looked terrifying, they were not untouchable as Luo Si had said.

In fact, they seemed to have considerable goodwill toward native humans; otherwise they wouldn't have called out to him just now.

The worry and joy reflected instantly were genuine.

In his feeling, they seemed genuinely afraid he might come to harm, like an adult toward a cub?

But...

According to this situation, according to this actually more logical scenario.

Lin An simply couldn't understand why native humans were so taboo toward mutated humans, unwilling to have any contact.

He clearly remembered Luo Si's initial attitude of dissuading him.

Luo Si's initial expression clearly meant that mutated humans could no longer communicate—that they were monsters...

This is abnormal.

Between the two sides, there must be other problems.

As Lin An pondered the issue, the two mutated humans who had been avoiding his conversation suddenly looked at him.

You mean you want to see our leader? Want to see our high level?

After learning Lin An was not a native human, the two mutated humans changed their previous attitude, speaking again as if they were calm strangers.

Nodding, Lin An replied in a low voice:

I don't know how you view another world's civilization.

But I wish to meet your supreme leader.

Our world has been invaded by Alien Species.

As a strong one of our race, I came here to seek allies on the same front.

The enemy's enemy is a friend; I believe this holds true everywhere.

He did not say he was the strongest on Earth.

Lin An was very clear that cooperation also required capital.

The mutated humans on this side had already gained the advantage, while over on Earth, frankly speaking, it was practically a matter of life and death.

Given the huge difference in strength between the two sides, the other party might not think highly of oneself.

Therefore, he merely said he was a strong person from Earth, without giving any clear indication of his strength.

Although he would definitely have to say it later, Lin An still planned to first meet the other side's supreme leader before speaking!

Hearing Lin An reiterate the words of cooperation, one of the mutated humans whose body was covered in giant eyes hesitated for a moment, then a fleeting hint of obscure, strange color flashed in its eyes.

"Another civilization?"

"The Alien Species have invaded your place... No wonder the number of those monsters has recently dwindled."

"You want to see our Emperor? I can take you there, but whether the Emperor wishes to see you is another matter."

Although the tone was somewhat cold, Lin An still felt a sigh of relief in his heart after hearing it.

As long as the other side is willing to take him there, that's enough.

Even if cooperation is impossible, it would be fine to let him blend in and hunt the Alien Species.

He is confident that, given a little time, his speed of enhancement will absolutely far exceed anyone's imagination! Relying on himself alone, he could also oppose an entire civilization!

After confirming that the other side would take him there, Lin An seemed to think of something and couldn't help but ask again.

"What is it that you wouldn't let me pass just now?"

"What is that red line?"

Just as his words fell, the mutated human running at the forefront like a mountain peak suddenly turned his head and gave him a deep look.

"Now, you don't need to know."

Hearing the other side refuse to answer, their attitude clearly turned cold due to his different identity, Lin An raised his eyebrows and faintly sensed a different meaning.

Is that area and the red line related to the original humans?
