Chapter 360

Amoeba worm instance world, day 7, 12:49 PM.

A large number of reconnaissance planes circled above Ke Rui'er, maintaining a vigilant distance.

Near the Safe Zone, the impoverished forces held binoculars, staring intently at the sky in the direction of Bolaka.

The stronger ones set up a wireless array, eagerly preparing to broadcast a show.

The post-disaster world lacked fun.

An unprecedented "performance program" aroused great interest from all forces.

Especially when one person declared war on an entire nation.

Many forces, eager for excitement, sent reconnaissance units here, intending to see what Bolaka's so-called Judges were really like.

On the outpost of three forces on good terms, a few dispatched communications officers chatted intermittently:

"What do you all think?"

"Bolaka, after all, is a somewhat famous large Safe Zone; how could they do something so stupid?"

"Provoking all of us? Isn't that just asking for death?"

One person wearing a military cap reclined in a chair, wiping sweat from his forehead:

"Who knows, maybe playing with things messed up his own brain."

"In Bolaka, the variety of games is famous."

"It's just a shame we won't be able to see Bolaka's auction house anymore."

Another person casually nodded and added:

"I think it might be related to Troy,"

"That Safe Zone is famous for its crazy people, or rather, those who are religiously devoted."

"Not long ago, the Heroic Lion Safe Zone claimed to have wiped out their troops, so Troy went to Bolaka for help."

"Maybe those crazy people brainwashed Bolaka's folks, and the two groups just hit it off, cooking up this scheme."

Upon hearing that, everyone present nodded.

"Exactly, it seems everyone thinks the same."

"That said, the video they produced is quite realistic."

"It's just a bit exaggerated."

The reconnaissance officer holding binoculars snorted at the remark, not turning back, and said:

"What's exaggerated about it?"

"It's just flying in the air; a steel cable suspension would do."

"If it's really that impressive, why would we need to join in?"

"Aren't those Bolaka idiots claiming he's the spokesperson of a deity?"

"If there really were a god, a single thought would take care of us."

"Wave a hand, the zombies disappear, and we all go to heaven together."

"Hahaha."

The man with binoculars made everyone laugh; only a few people pondered something thoughtfully.

Time passed quickly.

The scorching sun gradually rose to its zenith.

In the high sky toward Bolaka, a transport plane painted with Troy's markings slowly approached.

"Here it comes! Here it comes!"

Around Ke Rui'er, all forces noticed this ordinary transport plane; the aircraft carried no external armaments, only the Troy-Bolaka livery on its fuselage standing out.

"As expected, Bolaka and those Troy crazies have teamed up."

The crowd buzzed, and many watched with interest as the transport plane gradually flew toward Ke Rui'er's airspace.

Some bored people simply started placing bets:

"Do you think Ke Rui'er will shoot down this transport plane?"

"A single sweep from an anti-aircraft gun would kill everyone inside cleanly."

"I doubt it..."

Another reconnaissance officer familiar with Ke Rui'er shook his head, smirking, and replied:

"You don't know?"

"Ke Rui'er's ruler has peculiar interests; he might even be thinking of capturing that person alive."

"If the person arriving really is that actor, he definitely wouldn't shoot it down."

"Tsk tsk, I don't know if Jin Hancheng will livestream it on the spot—that old guy is quite perverted."

"He can't do it himself, so he likes to poke with fire tongs."

Ke Rui'er Castle, on the anti-air emplacement.

Tens of thousands of troops stared indifferently at the approaching transport plane, not noticing it carried any weapons.

"Superior Officer, should we shoot it down?"

The soldier operating the machine gun aimed at the transport plane and hesitated, asking his superior officer:

"No need, His Majesty has already issued the order to capture the Bolaka envoy alive."

Having said that, the officer narrowed his eyes at the sky and then signaled the sniper to ready the anesthetic rounds.

Their Majesty gazed fervently at the transport plane, hoping Lin An would descend from the sky.

Many soldiers chuckled as they began discussing:

"Have you heard? In a few days we'll be launching a joint expedition to Bolaka."

His Majesty said, slaughter the city for three days, whatever is looted is yours!

The soldiers' words aroused strong interest in others, and many people began discussing it in low voices.

Yeah, I've also heard about that.

The female slaves from Bolaka are notorious, and their Safe Zone is pathetically weak.

He's quite skilled at doing business.

Once we take them down, it'll be absolutely exhilarating!

Jeering and scolding.

As the transport aircraft flew overhead, the few soldiers stationed on the top floor, holding sniper rifles, turned their heads and boredly chatted over their walkie-talkies.

It's almost 1 o'clock.

It looks like the Bolaka idiots really only sent one aircraft over.

It couldn't really be just one person, could it?

Zizz-

I guess so; after the catastrophe, there are plenty of such idiots.

How dare they, overestimating themselves, actually declare war on us.

Zizz-

Not only us, all forces have received their notice; just thinking about it makes one laugh.

You say if that pretty boy actually shows up, how would he get down?

Steel cables suspended in midair? Or wearing a parachute?

Then, slowly falling to the ground under the gaze of all, would His Majesty right there *flip?

Everyone listening to his description couldn't help but laugh out loud.

12:59.

Ke Rui'er perimeter reconnaissance position.

Countless people raised their heads, holding various equipment to observe.

In the high sky, the transport aircraft slowly decelerated, and with millions of eyes watching, the cabin door opened.

At the same time, over sixty aircraft from various forces aimed their broadcast equipment at the cabin door.

It's almost 1 o'clock; wasn't it said that we'd clear Ke Rui'er at 1?

The word's been out, yet they only now flew over.

The scout officer operating the equipment snorted, took a puff of the cigarette at his fingertip, and casually chatted with the other force personnel nearby.

Before the person beside him could reply, a black silhouette leapt from the open cabin door high above.

Under the high-definition telescope, the scout reporting the situation stared blankly for a moment.

Really just one person?

No parachute!?

Is he trying to jump down and kill himself!?

Countless doubts rose in everyone's hearts as the black silhouette fell at high speed, and the absurd flashed through their minds.

Performing suicide in person?

In the air, a shrill wind howled past Lin An's ears.

Dark blue mist filled his vision.

Beep, detected ordinary lifeform: 1198761

Mental lock acquired, partitioning the area.

Inside the ring, over a thousand tons of high explosive and a fuel-air bomb were packed into every corner.
