Chapter 158: with translation of chapter title: 【TANK】

Lord Lin An, there is a food transfer station 70 kilometers ahead; that place is the food gathering and distribution point for several towns around Linjiang City.

According to the data we found, the annual throughput of that transfer station reaches 700000 tons!

The actual standing storage is 41000 tons!

The base personnel responsible for reporting the information could not suppress the joy in their speech; this data was previously compiled by the academy.

Lin An nodded slightly, indicating for her to continue.

The girl before him had delicate features, her hair tied in a neat ponytail.

Before the apocalypse, she was a top student at the sports institute, and also one of the few girls daring to go out to scavenge for supplies.

In the car, only Liang Shaoguang was an outsider; after the group finished scavenging supplies, Liang Shaoguang could no longer restrain himself and secretly ran over to ask Zhang Tie questions.

With Lin An's indication, it was also considered tacit permission for him to know this news in advance.

He was simply told not to tell anyone else for the time being.

After all, there was actually no need to conceal Lin An's identity; it was purely to avoid trouble.

After the afternoon chat channel opened, if anyone showed off the base's location, without a doubt a large number of survivors would come running to join.

However, Liang Shaoguang will eventually join the base anyway; knowing earlier is just knowing earlier.

After receiving Zhang Tie's affirmation, Liang Shaoguang gathered his strength on the spot, and alone, huffing and puffing, he drove the Moon Wolf transformation gear for three big carts.

For a moment, it caused the other survivors to look astonished.

After all, they had agreed beforehand to help, but to a large extent they were still restrained by Lin An's formidable strength.

Most of the scavenged supplies belonged to Lin An's group; they were only responsible for driving and keeping watch.

Therefore, many of the original survivors sat in the vehicle unwilling to move.

Only the short, stout youth called Wang Zong, who helped during the first batch to get out of the vehicle, followed along and worked hard.

The girl responsible for reporting information was youthful and lovely, her gaze always on Lin An, her eyes sparkling with spirit.

Seeing Lin An up close, in his calm state, the feeling was completely different from before.

In the past, whenever Lin An appeared, there were only two things.

One was killing, the other was announcing the killing.

Before, from afar, seeing Lord Lin An only inspired fear; many people simply dared not even look at him.

But during an afternoon of interaction, she unexpectedly discovered that Lin An was actually quite easy to get along with.

As long as one wasn't speaking nonsense or being overly talkative, Lin An was very patient, often wearing a harmonious smile on his face.

Just like Lord Zhang Tie, who liked to ask silly questions that even she found foolish when he had nothing to do, Lord Lin An would patiently answer them.

This was completely different from the rumor of a bloodthirsty demon who would explode people's heads at the slightest disagreement.

Under such a strong contrast, inexplicably, the girl felt that Lin An seemed to possess an extraordinary charm.

It must be said, after each enhancement Lin An's body changes toward perfect proportions.

Originally just handsome, his appearance now has a captivating allure.

His skin is snow-white and radiant enough to make any woman jealous.

Compared to men, women are naturally more concerned with appearance.

He is strong in strength, handsome in looks, and possesses a mysterious aura.

In a daze, she completely forgot that earlier this afternoon Lin An had, right before their eyes, struck down and cleansed over a hundred people.

Of course, it might be because the dead were disliked by the academy members, and after many deaths in the apocalypse, they no longer thought death was a big deal.

Lord Lin An, however, according to the report from the Awakened Ones who previously searched for supplies at the academy...

At that food transfer station, there are more than two mutants stationed there, and their exact levels are unknown.

The academy originally wanted to bring all the food back from there, but during the monster attack many Awakened Ones were killed or injured, so afterward we never went to investigate again.

After the girl finished speaking, she quietly waited for Lin An's opinion.

As for whether going there next will be dangerous?

She actually wasn't that worried.

Everyone in the base, up and down, remembers the scene of Lin An taming the sandworm.

In the car, upon hearing about mutants, Liang Shaoguang looked somewhat nervously at Lin An.

When he was fleeing, he had seen a mutant before, and he had also heard other survivors talk about mutants.

Although he knew Lin An had killed at least fifty mutants to establish the base, in his view that should have been the accomplishment of hundreds of Awakened Ones acting together.

After all, although Lin An feels strong, so far he has only...

The kick to Zhang Tie's buttocks...

If it's just one, it's not a problem; there are plenty of Awakened Ones in the car. But if there are two or more, or even more, then it becomes troublesome...

After hearing this, Lin An showed no expression; he simply took the document from the girl's hand.

At this stage, as long as it is not a third-level mutant or a peak second-level, it cannot pose a threat to him.

Food transfer station...

I've never heard of any powerful mutants appearing there.

At least forty thousand tons of food reserves.

If it were emptied, it would be enough to support the base's expansion and recruit more personnel.

Before the appearance of spiritual food, the food bases and transfer stations of various provinces and cities were among the best sources of food.

Dry, sealed storage, and not yet severely contaminated by spiritual energy.

Relying solely on scavenging Shang Cheng and supermarkets for food could never meet the needs of a safe zone.

On the document, a small amount of monster information was marked in red ink.

1. Unknown mutant: extremely fast, has a tail, body over 6 meters, suspected to be a mutation of a rodent-like animal and a zombie.

"2. Unknown mutant, human-like appearance, extremely high defense. Over 3 meters tall, Chairman Li Hua (crossed out) struck but caused no damage, only minor scratches."

Lin An flicked his fingertips.

There is little information; it is what the Awakened Ones pieced together after fleeing back.

The first is likely a mutant formed from the fusion of rodents and zombies.

The second is likely 【Tank】, a pure zombie mutant.

Like the Licker, 【Tank】 is a common mutant type.

Unlike the Licker's balanced attributes, it also masters 'long-range' attack methods; the 【Tank】-shaped mutant, true to its name, can be called a zombie tank.

High defense, slow speed, strong attack.

It is usually a mutant that troubles the major safe zones.

Such mutants usually appear during siege battles and zombie tide outbreaks; normally they do not move about randomly.

Its musculature, nearly comparable to heavy tank armor, can block artillery; firearms need not be mentioned.

Even a Barrett heavy sniper rifle hitting its most vulnerable face cannot break through its defense.

Unlike the Licker, if one's marksmanship is accurate enough, a single sniper shot to its olfactory organ could possibly severely wound and kill it.

For a monster with such defense, only the Awakened Ones' psychic skills can break through its defense.

【Tank】's fists are highly strengthened; although its attack speed is slow, one punch can blow up an armored vehicle and demolish a small building in a short time.

It poses a huge threat to the safe zone's walls.

However, no matter how strong 【Tank】 is, its highest rank is only just above second rank.

Given Lin An's current strength, it can easily be resolved.

The only potential danger is the extremely fast rodent mutant...

After closing his eyes to think, Lin An quickly spoke and issued the battle order:

"Mo Ling, you are responsible for luring away the zombies."

"My mental strength cannot last long."

Mo Ling rubbed her eyes, her hair disheveled.

She has only rested for half an hour so far, and her head still hurts.

Lin An let out a light sigh, helped tidy her hair, prompting the little loli to disapprovingly pat his hand.

"It's fine; this time you don't need to lure away too many. With mutants present, it's also impossible to let you charge into the corpse horde."

"Just lure away roughly that number; the few scattered ones can be ignored."

Mo Ling's talent ignores zombies and is ineffective against mutants, at least for now.

Unless it is a first-rank mutant she actively summons, which will not attack her under the continuous interference of deathly aura.

But if she encounters such a mutant summoned face-to-face, it is easy to kill her in the instant she activates her skill.

After confirming Mo Ling's task, Lin An continued speaking:

"Zhang Tie, Gao Tian, and the three fire-system Awakened Ones, you are responsible for the suspected humanoid mutant."

"As for the remaining one... I'll handle it."

"Lord Lin An! What about me?"

Liang Shaoguang watched as everyone was assigned tasks, feeling as if he had been overlooked.

For a moment he couldn't help but want to show off.

After all, Zhang Tie told him: the captain thinks you're still okay, but your gang...

Zhang Tie deliberately said that, which made him somewhat worried that Lin An might not agree to everyone joining the base together.

Lin An turned his head and glanced at Liang Shaoguang.

Subconsciously, he forgot about that moon wolf.

There are too many things; I haven't even had time to check Liang Shaoguang's attributes...

"Old Liang and your wife only need to guard against scattered zombies to prevent them from ramming the vehicle convoy."

"Also, show me your attribute panel."

Regarding the moon wolf, Lin An is still somewhat curious.

He only knows roughly what ability it has, but Liang Shaoguang's transformed moon wolf seems a bit different.

It seems more like a fantasy-type creature.

I also don't know how Liang Shaoguang, who looks like a big rough guy, could awaken such an ability that severely mismatches his image.

He quickly nodded; Liang Shaoguang unhesitatingly opened his own panel, his eyes somewhat apprehensive.

"Don't let Lord Lin An finish looking and think I'm too weak, then discard me..."
