Chapter 1940

Long'an Base.

"Brother Lin, this is the construction advice given by the Science Academy. If we are to unite the globe, they believe the best reconstruction site should be on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Egypt War Zone."

"Among them, the coordinates of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau remain unchanged, while the coordinates of the Egypt War Zone will be located on the fringe of the New Continent."

Holding a thick stack of blueprints, Gao Tian softly reminds Lin An, who is writing something with his head down.

On the drawing, a map of the New Continent is marked with two large red circles, clearly labeled with the characters 'Ling An' and 'Long An'.

Taking the map, Lin An examines it carefully and then nods slightly.

In the plan, he will forcibly reshape all the continents of the world together, forming a supercontinent.

Outside this supercontinent lies a thousand-island archipelago, where zombies and mutants will be retained so that survivors can gain combat experience and level up.

Ling'an Base is the main base, established on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

This base has the existing Long'an members as its core, supplemented by Third Stage and above Awakened Ones and Fire Seed members. In Lin An's vision, Ling'an City will become a super fortress that gathers the highest martial power of the entire Earth.

Relying on a strict selection system, it is his future core strength in resisting the apocalypse.

Long'an Base will then be relocated to the edge of the continent, primarily taking in low-rank survivors and being built into a frontline base.

In the vision, Long'an Base serves as the entry point for survivors to enter the Thousand Islands Forbidden Zone, where he will deploy abundant resources and issue missions to guide survivors into combat within the forbidden zone, cultivating talent.

Thus, the two bases will complement each other, continuously supplying fresh blood.

Of course, the whole plan is far from simple as it sounds. In Lin An's estimate, completely reconstructing human civilization will take at least three to five years. This period is also considered the Fire Seed's spread phase.

"First, launch the construction plan for Ling'an; the matters of New Long'an and the forbidden zone can wait until I return."

"Furthermore, starting today, Long'an will begin selecting Third Stage and above Awakened Ones to join the God War Legion! Within the legion, they will be injected with diluted amoeba primordial liquid to first test the effects."

"Other combat personnel will be dispersed to various regions, covertly supporting the Fire Seed."

Setting down the planning diagram in his hand, Lin An speaks calmly.

The so-called God War Legion is essentially a weakened version of the Fire Seed prototype. In his conception, this group of soldiers collectively injected with amoeba primordial liquid will become another 'him'.

Unlike the Fire Seed, members of the God War Legion are not required to condense faith; they simply need to become elite warriors.

Thanks to the advantage of emotional sharing, this legion will possess extremely strong combat will, and as its numbers dwindle in battle, its overall strength will not decrease but increase!

Assuming the legion's total strength is a hundred, when the death toll reaches 10%, the anger, reluctance, and pain of the fallen will be transferred to the remaining members. Theoretically, when the legion is reduced to just one survivor, that God War Warrior will have endured the equivalent of tens of thousands of deaths, completing their transformation.

Of course, this concept is also theoretically viable, but the ultimate survivor may not be able to withstand such a tremendous impact.

But Lin An believes that, with repeated trials and continual refinement of the concept, this plan has a high probability of success.

Captain Lin, I understand.

"But... are you really going there? I want to come along too..!!"

After confirming the rough details with Lin An, watching him write the plan with his head down, and still considering for them before leaving, Gao Tian couldn't help but speak bitterly.

He really wants to go in with Lin An, no matter how dangerous it is. Even an outsider like Jiang Haochen can go on missions with Captain Lin, yet as squad members they stay in the rear, which really leaves him feeling uneasy.

He slowly lifts his head, seeing Gao Tian looking at him somewhat stubbornly, and Lin An silently sighs in his heart.

Gao Tian...

I don't think you can't help me; it's just that place is really too dangerous.

If it were a regular mission, even with Fifth Stage difficulty, I would have no hesitation in taking you along. But this time... I don't even have confidence in myself.

With a bitter laugh, Lin An also sees no point in hiding anything.

He really has no confidence in the Ghost Skull.

Just look at Number 77's attitude, and you'll know. Even though he has now condensed a faith prototype, his combat power and potential are monstrous. It's not that Lin An is arrogant; if he were to participate in the so-called Stellar Brilliance War, or even reveal his true strength...

Even a civilization with Sixth Stage power would spare no expense to win him over.

But it's obvious that, before he passes the Ghost Skull Mission, all of this amounts to nothing in Number 77's eyes.

From another angle, this also means that Number 77 has little confidence in him, believing he will surely make it out alive.

A brief silence.

Seeing that Gao Tian still feels unwilling, Lin An simply stands up and lets out a light sigh:

Gao Tian, here's what we'll do. After I confirm the situation of this mission, if I can bring you along, I'll find a way to get you in.

Don't feel guilty about anything; staying in the rear is also a help to me. Long'an needs you, and everything here needs you.

Locking eyes, seeing Lin An's hopeful gaze upon him, Gao Tian nods heavily and can't help but clench his fists.

Captain Lin! I know! No matter what, we will absolutely not let you down!

Even if we can't go, I still promise, I promise that when you return, everything on Earth will develop according to your plan.

One hour later.

After a brief meeting with Long'an's high command, Lin An silently appears in low Earth orbit.

Looking at Number 77's inbox, Lin An hesitates briefly but then firmly sends a message.

Nothing to dwell on.

Although there is still some time before the Ghost Skull Mission, he doesn't intend to delay any further.

His strength has already reached the limit of the current stage; although there is still a little room for improvement, time is running out. Moreover, Lin An can clearly feel that he is now like a balloon stretched to its breaking point, ready to burst at any moment.

The waiting time is both brief and endless.

For some reason, after a full ten minutes, Number 77's message finally flickers on.

Hey kid, you looking for me?

It looks like you're ready to embark on the mission.

In the endless depths of space, before the magnificent and splendid Pillar of Creation, Number 77 lazily waves its tentacles.

While replying to Lin An's message, he silently gazes at this superstructure stretching seven hundred ninety thousand light-years long.

Unlike the calm when replying to Lin An's message, a deep sense of apprehension flickers and vanishes in Number 77's seemingly indifferent eye.

Only seen, in the reflection of his pupil, a human brain as if taken out floated slowly in the nebula.
