Chapter 1406: The Secret of the Alien Species

There's a problem...

(「Lin An, be careful！「)

Almost in an instant, the Second Will and Lin An simultaneously sensed a faint unease.

Although there seems to be no problem now, Anna simply gave a brief rundown of the story after the outbreak of the world apocalypse.

But whether it was him or the Second Will, they almost instinctively realized how many problems lay hidden behind this simple story.

This Gu-raising game could continue to the present; undoubtedly the high levels of both sides tacitly allowed it.

This means that the so-called hostility is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

Even Lin An could think that the early Aberrant Humans' ability to persist was likely not as simple as Anna said, merely delayed by the Snake-eating Ghost's interference with the Alien Species' pursuit.

More likely, the Alien Species side deliberately 'raised' the Aberrant Humans in order to cultivate a Perfect One.

Traitor, really a traitor?

Who is the traitor?

Just as Anna said, both are monsters; any side's Perfect One could be used by the other.

Killing one's own people is impossible, and internal agreement is also impossible.

Then killing the enemy, with one's own people dying at the enemy's hands, is the only way...

Just like on Earth, the best way to solve population explosion and resolve all internal problems is to launch a war!

Perhaps in this game, there are also traitors within the Alien Species side, causing raising a tiger to invite disaster, leading to total loss of control!

It's hard to imagine how many conspiracies, tricks, and calculations have emerged in this century-long racial war, and after repeated games, we've ended up in this situation.

"Now the Alien Species wants to flee... that shows the Alien Species side believes there's no chance of victory, or rather, they don't even have the qualification to barely survive."

In silence, Lin An feigned deep shock, but his brain under hyper-effective thinking was racing.

This is unreasonable.

Mutants can survive to now, so what makes the Alien Species think they can't even barely survive? Although they now appear to be at a disadvantage, the Fei Yi Shijie is still in the Alien Species' hands!

Aberrant Humans could very well treat them the same way they once kept them captive. Even in a mutual-destruction scenario, coexistence between the two sides is not impossible.

Perhaps they would live miserably, but that's still better than a solitary gamble, escaping this world.

Even if Aberrant Humans are not as Lin An guessed, and actually still have absolute hatred for the Alien Species... they shouldn't flee so decisively.

Having seen the so-called Holy Land, Lin An knows that the price the Alien Species paid to flee early is enough to be agonizing.

Although partly because of him, but before he appeared? Why are the Alien Species so eager to run?

Judging by the current situation, the Aberrant Humans side at most has an advantage, and definitely not enough to completely crush the Alien Species!

All these abnormalities indicate..

The Alien Species seems as if afraid of the Aberrant Humans discovering some problem...

Or perhaps they have realized that everything is meaningless!

"There are too many reasons..."

"It's possible that the Alien Species doesn't really want to give birth to a Perfect One, after which the Perfect One would instead be used by the Aberrant Humans. In that case, they would have no chance to turn the tables."

"Either the Alien Species Emperor has realized that the Aberrant Humans are hiding their strength and now possesses the ability to completely wipe them out..."

"Or..."

A flash of the most unlikely, yet also the most plausible guess, crossed his eyes.

Lin An desperately suppressed the urge to look at himself.

"Or..."

"The Alien Species' Perfect One has already appeared!"

"That monster..."

"It's me!!"

"Perhaps it was created by a special method, or perhaps it died again due to a special reason! In any case, the Alien Species has lost the ability to give birth to a Perfect One! In this century-long war, their potential has been completely exhausted!"

"So they can only flee! This is a doomed war!"

"Alien Species with no utilitarian value will only be completely devoured by the Aberrant Humans! So they must flee before the Aberrant Humans discover this!"

Fragmented pieces of information seemed to coalesce at this moment into a complete logical thread.

Although it is filled with much speculation and uncertainty.

But in that instant, Lin An suddenly felt an indescribable shock and chill welling up inside.

If everything really is as he guessed...

At the moment his identity is exposed, it's hard to say what he will face!

Even if his contact time with the Aberrant Humans is extremely short, he can feel their yearning for a Perfect One.

But now...

Both sides can no longer give birth to a Perfect One; both races have completely lost any hope...

The Alien Species only wants to escape this world; surviving one day is a day.

But when collapse comes, and the Aberrant Humans suddenly realize a Perfect One cannot appear, what will they do?

It's hard to imagine what will happen on the day the truth is revealed.

It's laughable to say.

The Alien Species is desperately trying to conceal this, attempting to flee here.

Meanwhile, the Aberrant Humans, unaware of this, continue according to plan to slowly wear down the Alien Species, fostering a Perfect One.

If nothing unexpected happens, Anna and the others also feel something is off, and are increasing the intensity of the slaughter.

After all, so many Alien Species and Aberrants have died; logically, a Perfect One should have appeared long ago.

He Lin An...

It is humanity that has merged the hopes of both sides...

Absurdly, this point is unknown to both the Alien Species and the mutated humans...

"What will happen? Will you seal me as hope? Or forcibly transform me?"

"After the Alien Species knows, will they convert me into an Alien Species? Or occupy me? Like they occupied the Awakened Ones of the Capital Military Region?"

"Will the mutants control me? Just as they say they can use me for themselves? Or perhaps... eat me?!"

"Wait...!"

After numerous speculations kept arising in his mind, Lin An suddenly recalled the first batch of Alien Species he had traded with Chu An.

No.

Besides him, there must be another batch of beings who know.

Or rather, his appearance is actually a layout that was planned as early as several years ago, no... even earlier than that?

Has anyone realized this? Does anyone want to do something about it?

In an instant, Lin An felt more and more riddles appearing in his mind, as if he were sinking into the deep sea, with more and more unknowns dragging him down to the seabed.

Hard to breathe.

Even though after reaching the Fourth Stage his mind had been strengthened to near absolute calm, at this moment Lin An once again fell into deep confusion.

It was as if there were always an invisible pair of hands and an invisible pair of eyes watching him.

Every time the truth is revealed, it is false.

Like Pan's labyrinth, layer upon layer, endless and boundless.

"So... who exactly am I?!"

"What exactly have I become?!"

"Lin An, you seem a bit off."

After a long silence, Anna, who had recovered her memory, curiously gazed at Lin An, who kept his head down and remained silent.

With her strong mental power, she could naturally sense that Lin An was under extreme suppression, yet his mental fluctuations were abnormally chaotic.

Has she guessed what it is?

Just as Lin An was about to suppress his emotions and not intend to reveal his current state, a somewhat cold voice suddenly sounded.

"Humans from another civilization."

"You may now meet the sir."
