Chapter 299

Wangjiang Military Region support unit.

A 2,000-strong combat corps marched mightily, infantry and tanks coordinating, with the lead armored vehicle's machine gunner vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

Inside the command vehicle, the second-in-command senior officer of the Military Region looked anxiously at the map ahead.

How much longer!

How far away is the rescue team!!

After rescue team captain Yang Bocheng sent the message, they marched all night, even bringing out one-third of the Awakened Ones from the base.

Lin An's situation was crucial; last night he even received the urgent information repeatedly passed down from the Capital Military Region.

Speed up the search; we must locate Lin An and the Long'an Base!

The urgency of the information is no less than level a.

Under immense pressure from above, he could only grit his teeth and dispatch another four squads.

The Military Region's defensive pressure was already high; if not for Wangjiang Military Region's remote location, plus the army still had a considerable number of Awakened Ones,

No matter what, he couldn't spare that many personnel.

Communication with the rescue team came from an hour and ten minutes ago; the last private message conveyed in that chat left him startled.

Yang Bocheng's group encountered two mutants and a large number of zombies, one of which was a Second Level!

His thoughts were agitated.

As the Military Region's second-in-command, Wang Meng felt his scalp about to explode.

After finally finding some leads on Lin An, how did his damn decision run into this again!

Yang Bocheng! You must hold on!

Even if you die, you must bring back anyone related to Lin An!

Before he could again urge faster marching, the Awakened One in charge of frequency communications shouted in shock:

Commander Wang!

Yang Bocheng's side sent word that the mutants have been killed; they are now clearing zombies and awaiting our support!

What!!

Wang Meng opened his mouth wide, looking like he'd seen a ghost.

He lunged at the communications officer, unable to stop repeatedly checking:

Dead?!

You sure it's not Yang Bocheng who died?!

Having said that, he slapped his own forehead hard.

Damn, if Yang Bocheng died, how could he send a message.

But he knew the rescue team's strength well; dealing with a First Level Mutant might still be possible, but adding a Second Level?

To be honest, he even wondered if the rescue team had sent the message and then all died.

The communications officer likewise wore a look of utter disbelief:

Commander Wang, the mutant was indeed killed.

But the killers were two mysterious Awakened Ones.

Superior Officer Yang Bocheng is exhausted and cannot send more information.

He means we should hurry over; there are still some civilians awaiting rescue.

Moreover, those several people suspected to be related to Lin An are still alive.

Wang Meng's heart leapt with joy, and he couldn't help slamming the vehicle wall hard.

Damn it!

As long as they're alive! As long as they're still here!

Tell Officer Yang Bocheng that kid! No matter what, we must keep those related to Lin An safe!

"Wait for him to come back, Laozi will promote him!"

In his agitated state, Commander Wang couldn't help but burst out with profanity, completely losing the steady bearing of a former officer.

No choice, the orders from above are too strict.

Especially, the order also comes from one's former direct superior.

Before the Apocalypse broke out, the head of the Military Region went to the capital for a meeting, but ended up being detained there the whole time.

As the second-in-command, he had been following the chief ever since he was a new recruit.

Under double pressure, he dreams every day of searching for Lin An.

Having confirmed the news, his mood greatly improved.

Wang Meng hurried up, clambered onto the command vehicle's roof, and looked anxiously and expectantly into the distance.

Yang Bocheng! You damn well better bring the person back!

Whether we can force Lin An to show himself hinges on this one move!

"Boom—"

The engine roared, and Wang Meng looked dubiously ahead on the road where a black off-road vehicle appeared far in the distance, the leading motorcycle moving at extreme speed.

Huh?

Survivors coming from this direction?

Could they have run into Yang Bocheng and his group?

But, he took a closer look.

The off-road vehicle's body was brand new, without a trace of bloodstains.

Has it not experienced any combat?

After a moment's thought, the two groups were about to meet.

The driver at the front of the Military Region signaled whether to intercept the vehicle ahead.

Wang Meng hesitated for a moment, then nodded:

"Fire a warning shot! Make them stop!"

"Tell them we are Military Region troops! If there are Awakened Ones, they can join us!"

Those who can drive recklessly in the Apocalypse are almost certainly Awakened Ones leading the way.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three gunshots rang out, accompanied by a rumbling roar.

Inside the off-road vehicle, Zhang Tie gazed solemnly at the convoy ahead.

Armored vehicles, tanks, such a large-scale force could only be from the nearby Military Region.

"Lin Dui?"

"What do we do?"

"They're too many; the whole highway is blocked."

Lin An extended his mental sense, pondering.

One hundred twenty Awakened Ones, a combat regiment of two thousand.

Looking in that direction, it could only be related to that search-and-rescue team.

Was it past support?

So many going to support? Could there be someone important in the search-and-rescue team?

After a brief consideration, Lin An decided to temporarily avoid conflict with the Military Region.

I still need to rush to the weapons testing ground to enter the 【Amoeba Worm】 instance, and also contact Chu An—I still have many questions for him.

"Take the side road, speed around."

His voice calm, Lin An directly spread his telekinesis to control the vehicle.

Zhang Tie raised an eyebrow at the sound, then broke into a grin.

Got it! Lin Dui!

The two little girls in the back, sit tight!

Gao Tian! Follow behind us!

Whoosh

The steering wheel jerked, the high-speed Mercedes off-road vehicle shot straight off the road.

Wang Meng looked astonished at the off-road vehicle that turned and rushed off the road, a sudden doubt rising in his heart.

Seeing the Military Region not stop but instead run?

Normal Awakened Ones seeing the Military Region should be ecstatic to seek joining, right?

There's a problem!

These people definitely have a problem!

Acting decisively, upon realizing the strange off-road vehicle charging out of the road was problematic, Wang Meng directly issued the order:

Machine gunners, sweep the vehicle!

Blow out their tires!

Special forces, take aim! Other Awakened Ones, prepare to act!

In his view, when the off-road vehicle charged off the road and landed in the wild beside it, it would inevitably stall briefly.

Blow out the tires, have the Awakened Ones act—no matter what, we can detain these people.

However.

Only see the off-road vehicle that flew off the road as if it had grown wings, hovering in midair for dozens of meters, then the tires spun rapidly, after a burst of acceleration it sped straight into the distance.

Holy crap!

Wang Meng stared dumbfounded as the off-road vehicle gradually vanished from sight, unable to speak for a long time.
