Chapter 338

After putting down the water cup, Lin An only felt bored.

From Ma Ke's perspective, or if I myself were truly an envoy, I should indeed be panicking.

Perhaps I might even have to regard Ma Ke as a lifeline.

If Te Luo Yi declines, even falls, how could the envoy possibly fare well?

A weak state has no diplomacy; not being humiliated is good enough, even being handcuffed counts as fine.

Even, if Bo La Ka deliberately curries favor with the Lion Safe Zone and sends the envoy over bound, that would be normal.

Under normal circumstances, as an "envoy", he should be worried, unite all possible forces, and seek survival in the cracks.

In the midst of intrigue and calculation, a moving, tear-jerking history of saving the nation unfolds.

But unfortunately.

Lin An is not an envoy.

Even if Te Luo Yi is completely dead, it has nothing to do with him at all.

As for threats?

Sorry, Bo La Ka will be mine this afternoon.

If the whole city isn't taken within an hour, it's only possible that Zhang Tie has gone crazy killing and still isn't satisfied.

In the plan, to sweep across the whole world and unify all military forces is what Lin An intends to do.

When power reaches a certain height, all schemes and tricks are not worth mentioning.

Aside from dangers not yet appeared in the 【Amoeba Worm】 dungeon, this world really has nothing for him to care about.

Emperor, forces, army, nobles?

In the eyes of this world's survivors, the big shots are no different from stray dogs in his view.

Powerless mortals are nothing but worms.

Hmm.

Of course, perhaps nuclear weapons could pose a threat to him.

Just as Ma Ke was about to say something else, Lin An suddenly spoke up and asked:

"Do you have nuclear weapons?"

"Or weapons with enough power to destroy an entire Safe Zone?"

...???

Ma Ke heard the voice and froze, his eyes full of astonishment.

Nuclear weapons?

What is that?

One capable of destroying a Safe Zone? What a joke, there's no such terrifying weapon in the world.

His thoughts are many.

Ma Ke subconsciously projected his own thoughts onto Lin An.

What does asking this mean?

Could it be that Te Luo Yi has such weapons? That's why the envoy who looks like an idiot in front of us acts so recklessly?

Is that possible?

The Te Luo Yi group of newly appointed military defectors are indeed all from the army, and the outside world is not familiar with them.

Rumor has it that the Military Region where Te Luo Yi is located once developed secret weapons; perhaps they really do have them.

But if they really had such weapons, why would Te Luo Yi still be requesting aid?

There are many doubts.

Ma Ke remained silent for a while.

After repeatedly thinking and speculating, he first denied that Te Luo Yi possessed such weapons.

He then turned to speculate on other possibilities.

Lin An frowned slightly; in his mental power perception, Ma Ke was undergoing a brainstorm.

Eighty percent likely he was guessing the meaning of my words.

Perhaps he even thought I was bluffing.

As expected.

After Ma Ke's rapid thinking, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

That's right, I was thinking of the "envoy" too simply.

Being so blatant, even rude to me, plus hearing the news of Te Luo Yi and still not changing expression, he then threw out the term "nuclear weapons" that sounds strange.

Could it be that Lin An is not what I thought, and he knows nothing about the Lion's annihilation of the army?

Lin An had already received the news, and then deliberately made a big move at the auction, even daring to threaten the Du Lan Di Safe Zone.

Under such actions.

Then the answer behind it is about to emerge.

Invisible mental fabrication is the most deadly.

As envoy Lin An, upon learning that Te Luo Yi was about to fall into danger, he deliberately made a big purchase of Anna, aiming to draw other forces' attention and, incidentally, show that Te Luo Yi's situation is not difficult.

Reprimanding and threatening the Du Lan Di Safe Zone is to maintain a false strength, as if not caring about the Lion Safe Zone's threat.

The purpose of doing this is simple.

If the Te Luo Yi envoy proactively goes to other forces to cooperate, or seeks help, he will only be looked down upon.

No one gives charcoal in the snow, but many add flowers to brocade.

Therefore, it's better to simply show a tough stance; many forces will then think the opposite, wondering what confidence the Te Luo Yi Safe Zone has to act this way.

And I, meanwhile, am the 'fish' attracted by Lin An's demeanor.

In the conversation, Lin An deliberately showed a calm demeanor, then deliberately released the news that Te Luo Yi might be hiding a secret weapon.

In that case...

Ma Ke chuckled softly in his heart, his gaze deep:

"Envoy Sir, are you suggesting that Te Luo Yi possesses such a weapon?"

"Is the nuclear bomb the secret weapon of your faction?"

"I'm very curious—what kind of weapon could destroy a Safe Zone?"

"As far as I know, even the most powerful fuel-air bomb can only destroy part of a Safe Zone."

"I don't know—could you disclose some information?"

"I can guarantee that I will never leak this information!"

"Perhaps we can collude to cooperate."

Ma Ke stared thoughtfully at Lin An, feeling that the young man before him was not as simple as he had previously thought.

In such a short time, to find a method that could possibly 'break the situation'.

That is enough to be called old and scheming.

Although I don't really believe that Te Luo Yi possesses such a weapon, he probably does have some trump cards.

If Lin An is willing to reveal some information, he doesn't mind helping Te Luo Yi out.

As a Safe Zone near Bolaka, it is correct for forces with such weaknesses to band together.

He originally intended to feign sending charcoal in the snow, proactively reaching out on good terms to Te Luo Yi.

Anyway, saying a few nice words and selling some weapons doesn't lose anything.

If Te Luo Yi fails to receive reinforcements, or cannot withstand the zombie tide plus the threat of the male lion, then he'll just pat his butt and leave.

If he manages to hold out and endure...

Te Luo Yi would certainly have to feel grateful to him, right?

As for the nuclear bomb mentioned by Lin An, it made him even more spirited.

Things didn't go according to the script.

Lin An furrowed his brows.

Not having a nuclear bomb has both good and bad aspects.

The downside is that without a nuclear bomb to clear zombies, efficiency will be much lower.

The upside is that I don't have to worry about other factions rebelling against me.

Conventional weapons are unlikely to pose any threat to him; with his speed and defense, he could slaughter his way across the entire world.

Unless he's suicidal, staying put and stubbornly enduring a barrage of missiles and heavy artillery.

It is very difficult for him to get injured.

Not to mention Xiong Hanzi.

That guy, with fourfold defenses, can even take a shower under heavy machine-gun fire.

After casually throwing out a remark, Lin An turned and left.

He had originally thought that Ma Ke wanted to say something...

It turned out that Te Luo Yi was merely declining, soon to be doomed...

None of my business.

At the dining table.

Ma Ke sat dazed in his seat, motionless, until Lin An left the restaurant and he finally reacted.

"Bang!"

He slammed the table hard, his face flushed with anger.

Damn it!

This brat is playing me!

Lin An's parting words echoed in his mind:

"Nuclear bomb."

"An egg in a box—how about it? You haven't eaten one before?"
