Chapter 293

Luofeng frowned, somewhat dissatisfied that someone had interrupted him.

"Lin An?"

He chuckled lightly and shared the speculations of the think tank and analysis department:

"Firstly, the establishment of Long'an Base is surely suspicious."

"Based on the information we have, Long'an Base likely exploited a loophole; it may not have been built after completing a mission."

"Otherwise, after killing so many Mutants, Lin An should have already been promoted to Second Level!"

"How could the honor award for the first Second Level have been snatched by North America?"

"Furthermore, we strongly suspect he may have mastered special completion techniques, but his actual strength is not great."

"This also makes sense: why he dares not show himself, like a turtle shrinking its head."

"Having grasped a bit of secrecy, he fears others finding out; such a mindset explains why he hasn't yet risen to Second Level."

Luofeng finished speaking, his eyes full of contempt and coldness.

"If Lin An would at least not withhold the token, or if he were willing to share the method to complete the mission, how could the Capital War Zone have suffered so many deaths?"

"Out of selfishness, he has delayed the progress of the entire Huaxia War Zone!"

"After suppressing his anger, Luofeng continued speaking with some Impatience:"

"As for you saying you heard the system mention the 'Lin' character,"

"Firstly, the first Second Level is definitely not him."

"Moreover, you probably misheard."

"In our speculation, the first Second Level Awakened Ones are likely already dead."

"This therefore caused the system to make an error."

"When this person was promoting to Second Level, they likely died from severe injuries or were coincidentally killed by other monsters."

"Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the system announced and then canceled the notice; as for who this person is, only the system knows."

"Lin An's name still hangs after Faction: Long An; if he isn't dead, that proves he isn't that person!"

"Speaking of which, this kid is quite foolish."

"He wasted the prestige of the first Safe Zone for nothing, and doesn't even realize he could have joined us with that achievement."

"If he had even a bit of sense, he should know that an individual cannot oppose us!"

"Now the channel is full of curses; I estimate he's still smugly hiding in some remote war zone, acting as his own local emperor."

"The red-haired Awakened Ones remained noncommittal; I don't know why, but he could sense Luofeng's great dissatisfaction toward Lin An."

"Perhaps it's just a difference in thinking; although he also thinks Lin An's hiding doesn't seem manly, that's all."

"Comrade Luofeng, that's just as you said."

"Since Lin An has gone into hiding, why don't we search for him?"

"As long as one is a Huaxia citizen, they should have a file on record, right?"

"If he is suspected of mastering a shortcut to establishing a Safe Zone, shouldn't this be in our hands?"

"Safe Zone; without a Safe Zone, our Awakened Ones' strength is hard to improve."

"Especially for our large-scale war zone."

"Like remote, sparsely populated Safe Zones are fine; there, Awakened Ones can hunt lone Mutants."

"But what about us?"

"Near every Mutant there are masses of Zombies, and even the Mutants themselves move in groups."

"Using modern weapons to kill the inexperienced is terrible; sending squads to kill high-difficulty targets is terrifying..."

"The researcher in the corner glanced at Luofeng's face, then suddenly spoke while holding a stack of documents:"

"That's how it is."

"We are not lacking information on Lin An."

Actually, we already know roughly who he is.

Upon hearing this, the newly promoted officers and several people of lower rank were startled:

"Found it?!"

Since we've found him, why don't we quickly contact him? Even if he doesn't reply, let the local Military Region go find him!

Finding him and obtaining the Safe Zone's secret— isn't that able to greatly increase the speed at which our Huaxia war zone becomes stronger?

Even, we could at least save hundreds of thousands of lives!

The researcher gave a bitter smile, and seeing everyone's eager gaze, had no choice but to explain:

As for who Lin An is, we have probably found him.

But we are not certain about where he is.

After the Apocalypse, the internet and satellite communications all failed; much information is stored in local governments.

Among the information we have, only a rough area where he might exist.

This person is a retired special forces member, his parents died early, and he likely lives in the Linjiang War Zone.

But we do not have his specific location information stored here.

Moreover, we also don't know exactly where he built the Safe Zone...

Of course, we also considered contacting nearby Military Regions, mobilizing large numbers of personnel to search for the location of Long'an Base.

Unfortunately, the Linjiang War Zone, for unknown reasons, has not contacted us up to now.

As for the Wangjiang War Zone, it itself is under great pressure; although it has been searching, it has not yet reported any news.

As for the nearby war zones...

If we cannot be 80% certain that Lin An remains in Linjiang, then once we dispatch large-scale troops, these several war zones are very likely to lose their defenses due to dispersed forces.

The situation in various war zones and military regions is not optimistic; many military regions themselves are hard to preserve...

Luofeng waved his hand expressionlessly, ordering the researchers to retreat, then he looked around:

I believe you all should have no other problems.

I can clearly tell you all that the terrifying existence we dread in the zombie tide is likewise dreaded by the zombie tide of our trump card in hand.

Now the only thing we can do is trade lives for time!

As long as we wait for the capital's safe zone to be established, everything will improve.

Moreover, barring any surprises, General Lihao will soon be promoted to Second Level, becoming our war zone's first Second Level powerhouse and the world's second!

As for Lin An.

Once I get his accurate news, I will inform you all immediately.

You all have been promoted from the subordinate military regions.

By then you must contact your respective subordinate military regions and have them fully search for Lin An and the location of Long'an Base!

Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent, their hearts shaken.

They also roughly understood why they were summoned for a meeting today.

Many of them are stranded in the capital, actually coming from the subordinate military regions.

It seems the higher-ups' intention is very simple.

The capital is dire; do not harbor any resentment.

The secret hidden in Lin An is very important; you must fully cooperate and capture him!

Several people couldn't help but exchange glances.

Moreover, the capital exceptionally and subtly displayed its trump card; is this to intimidate them into not having other thoughts?
