Chapter 1734: On the Eve of the Downfall 6

The barrier has been destroyed!!

It's not external force; there's a problem inside!

The command room was in utter chaos.

Amid the piercing alarm, one after another third-rank support personnel stared in shock at the surging energy fluctuations on the instruments.

After barely steadying themselves, people were shocked to find that Heiyu seemed to begin losing control, an unknown energy exploding from within rapidly spreading outward.

Under such astonishing fluctuations, not only did it directly damage the trembling barrier, but it also brought a gloomy, icy aura that enveloped the entire sky.

Moreover, the Awakened Ones responsible for coordinating transmission orders in the command room also drastically changed their expressions at this moment.

"Oh no! The transmission order has failed!"

"Damn it! An unknown spatial disturbance has appeared above Heiyu! The channel we opened has been forcibly closed!!"

In disbelief, his face turned deathly pale.

As the transmission order covering all branches of Faction: Long An's base, it has always held extremely high strategic value.

It is also thanks to the rapid support function of the transmission order that Long'an Base, after Lin An's 'disappearance', could still contend with the incessant fugitives of Fourth Stage.

But now that transmission has failed, in this unprecedented situation, everyone couldn't help but panic.

Without spatial transmission, they not only receive no support from Faction: Long An's headquarters, they can't even escape!

At the same time.

Unlike everyone's panic, Gao Wang instead calmed down and suddenly bellowed:

"What's there to panic about! If we can't withdraw, we can't withdraw!"

"Are you afraid of death!"

"Let's fight to the death! Even if we can't beat that bastard outside, we'll take a bite out of him!"

"Pass my order: all combat squads continue fighting!"

"Let the third-rank legion attack indiscriminately, covering the peak squad!"

"Bang!"

Pulling out the spear on his back with a backhand, his whole body erupting with third-rank peak power, Gao Wang at this moment seemed to no longer care about his identity as commander.

All that could be seen was him taking a deep breath, then directly looking at the commander in charge of the air and space forces.

"Dismantle all the spirit-energy nuclear bombs!"

"I'll lead the charge! I don't believe these pseudo-Fourth Stage scum can't be killed!"

"Commander!!"

"You can't go! If anyone goes, it should be us first!"

As his words fell, numerous high-level officials in the command room stood up at once, speaking up.

However, before all third-rank peak could rush to take his place, a soft yet firm voice sounded again.

"Count me in; I used the card my brother left behind, my actual combat strength is stronger than that of an ordinary third-rank peak."

"Commander Gao, you should stay and command."

Having spoken, Fang Yirou calmly looked at everyone present, looking past the stunned faces; her gaze seemed to pierce the command room and fall on the distant Heiyu Safe Zone.

For some reason, facing this life-and-death crisis, her heart became unusually calm instead.

Even, she had some hazy memories.

If she didn't misremember, Lin An at that time was right above that square, dropping her down.

(This place belongs to you..)

(From today on, she is the Vice Leader of Yingshan!)

This is what Lin An entrusted to her; if she dies here...

It is only natural.

"Damn!"

"What's the commotion!!"

Above the Heiyu Safe Zone, Li Haifu looked with panic at the shocking pillar of light shooting up from within Heiyu.

In the recent energy turmoil, he instinctively scared and fled, retreating several kilometers away.

It was as if he had completely forgotten that he was a Fourth Stage who had suddenly gained power; essentially, he was still just a cowardly old man.

Only after coming to his senses did he realize that the light pillar, aside from destroying Heiyu's barrier, had no other abnormalities, and only then did he relax and fly back.

Perhaps it was due to not wanting to lose face, or perhaps his earlier frightened shout was simply too embarrassing.

The old man's face flushed with shame and anger, so he simply increased his attack frequency.

He noticed that the light pillar was probably due to his attack, causing Heiyu to begin losing control; this exactly counted as completing the task 'God' had given him.

After casually smashing several hammers and killing large groups of Awakened Ones troops trying to gather and charge, he watched as the Faction: Long An troops were crushed like ants beneath him.

The old man then felt a surge of satisfaction, regaining much face.

Weak, truly too weak!

No, I should say he is truly too strong!

With the power bestowed by God, facing his invincible Fourth Stage rules, those Awakened Ones who once stood high and mighty, he slaughters them as easily as killing dogs.

"Heavenly Father! It seems these wastes of Faction: Long An really can't do anything against us!"

"They actually can't even dispatch a single Fourth Stage!"

"Yeah! These idiots don't even dare to use fighter jets now!"

"Nonsense, in front of the Heavenly Father, whoever comes is just delivering death!"

"Even if it's Lin... that person might not be able to beat the Heavenly Father!"

Skillful flattery was served.

Just when a third‑rank flatterer beside the old man was boasting, he wanted to say that even Lin An was not their match, but instinctively he still didn't dare say that name.

Although he was puffed up, as a survivor of the China war zone, Lin An's name had sunk deep into people's hearts, so he still swallowed that name.

His expression turned cold; the old man realized, as his subordinates were fawning, that he had inadvertently revealed his thoughts.

All that was seen was him giving a cold snort, shattering an armored squad out of thin air, then speaking grimly.

"Are you afraid of Lin An?"

"I said, that brat Lin An couldn't possibly come, no fourth‑stage could possibly come!"

"Even if he comes, I'm not afraid of him!"

"Compared to the True God behind us, what is Lin An but a damned thing?!"

"Just a cowardly turtle that shrinks its head like a mouse!"

The swelling of power brings a swelling of mindset.

The god behind him, however, had said that.

If the gods weren't still needing time to descend, any random True God could crush Lin An.

Having seen the gods display an aura as terrifying as that of a Fourth‑Stage Peak, Li Haifu naturally believed it completely. After all, Lin An was said to be only a mid‑level Fourth Stage.

Perhaps sensing the old man's slight displeasure, the Holy Maiden at his side immediately broke into a coquettish smile, eager to stay away.

"Heavenly Father! Look at those trash, they still want to gather troops!"

"Let's rush in and let them know your might~ I've heard there's plenty of good stuff inside Long An; if we keep fighting like this, we might destroy this place."

"By then we'll find a few more Holy Maidens to serve you, so they can listen to your teachings!"

He solemnly treated the Heiyu Safe Zone as his own pocket; the young woman looked at the orderly prosperity inside the Safe Zone, comparable to the scene before the Apocalypse, and her heart burned hot.

She had only clung to that old man's thigh for a few days; not long ago she was still mingling among the lower‑rank survivors.

Just imagining that once they occupied this place they could live like local emperors, she couldn't wait to rush in and enjoy herself to the fullest!

Hearing the Holy Maiden's urging, the old man instantly felt his heart burn hot.

Yeah, those Long An wastes, knowing they're no match for him, still rush forward like they're seeking death.

Damn, he'd spotted plenty of top‑notch female Awakened Ones.

Just dying like that, he even felt a pang of regret!

"Good!"

"As the Heavenly Father, I'll let these wastes see the fate of those who dare oppose the divine!"

He laughed heartily.

The old man stiffly exerted the power of rules, launching himself forward; as the power of rules was used again, the ever‑changing rule‑formed giant hammer smashed down onto the earth like it was free.

Even without technique, power would be wasted in mis‑aimed blows, but under the terrifying damage of the power of rules, any third‑rank is killed on contact.
