Chapter 375: Wu Yun

On the position, the moonlight was dim.

Thick Wu Yun clouds covered the sky, and the occasional gunfire was especially piercing.

After getting off the vehicle, Lin An silently gazed toward the front position.

The command vehicle was toward the rear of the position, roughly at the fourth line.

Although the distant Corpse Horde couldn't be seen, given the height of the corpse mound, within a hundred-kilometer radius one could roughly discern the corpse tide's movement.

"Second squad fall back, sixth squad take over!"

The soldier responsible for delivering orders ran back and forth with a simple loudspeaker, and now it was time to change shifts.

Awakened Ones have excellent vision; in his eyes he could clearly see soldiers rotating on the front line.

The soldiers who stepped down were fatigued, but their morale was generally good.

In their view, peace would arrive soon.

A meaningless soft sigh.

Besides Lin An's squad, the blood bait plan was unknown to the world's Survivors.

Advance preparations placed water sprinkler trucks filled with blood bait distributed across the position.

The air force unit loaded with bait shells had also set up its dispersal routes.

As soon as an order is given, the bait plan can be fully launched.

Although some soldiers wondered what these were, no one dared to ask further.

At dawn tomorrow, they will launch the general offensive.

Since the decision has been made, there's nothing to hesitate about.

Instinctively, Lin An reached behind for his soul-soothing sword sheath.

From the first time he obtained the sheath until now.

The time spent nurturing the weapon has exceeded one month.

At least a 600% damage boost, it counts as one of his most important trump cards.

If the high tower truly contains the amoeba worms Gao Tian speculated about, he might still have a fighting chance.

He has many trump cards.

Heaven-human form, third-rank key, death god crystal, Causal Sequence, black dragon, and half of the energy core remaining...

Infusing spiritual power into the blood abyss, combined with two strengthening potions long unused.

With all these trump cards, even Lin An himself doesn't know how powerful his full-force strike could be.

After some thought, the weight on his heart eased slightly.

With the bait plan supporting it, the possible emotional enhancement means of the amoeba worms can be cut off.

He should have a decent chance of victory.

Even thinking optimistically.

What if Gao Tian's speculation is wrong?

In the midst of his thoughts, a pair of large hands patted his shoulder.

"Lin Dui, don't think so much."

Xiong Hanzi gulped down a can of yellow peaches without a care, then grinned.

"Gao Tian that kid hasn't guessed right several times; he likes to scare himself at the drop of a hat."

"Like last time when he ran into a doll, that kid just likes to overthink."

"What use is it? The problem hasn't been solved by you, the boss."

"Besides."

Zhang Tie stretched lazily and tossed aside the empty can.

"We've already done our best."

"If this doesn't work, then we're truly out of options."

"Old Zhang thinks clearly: we're just little ants, and surviving till now is already not bad!"

"Apocalypse... apocalypse."

"Damn, it's annoying."

After a sigh, Xiong Hanzi looked at Lin An solemnly and said:

"Lin Dui, I believe in you!"

"Really."

"Think about it, we met at the hotel from the start."

"Let's not talk about the licker; you sliced it in half with one strike."

"First time."

"Is the red‑clothed girl going to become a pervert? Goodness, that's third rank!"

"And yet we survived."

Zhang Tie made an exaggerated expression and then gestured with two fingers:

"Second time!"

"We ran into the suturer; I was beaten half‑to‑death, and Lin Dui, you were about to kick the bucket."

"I still remember how Wen Ya almost exhausted herself using her skill."

"What was the result?"

Xiong Hanzi stroked his left hand while continuing, his eyes bright:

"Hey! That monster was actually killed by the black dragon!"

Finally, there was even an 8*8 big explosion! Who the hell could have imagined that?

Lin An, upon hearing that, a flash of memory from inside the mall passed through his mind; a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

He certainly remembered.

Wen Ya later told him many times about what happened that day.

She had originally wanted to drag the two of them to escape, but she simply couldn't get away.

I had thought we were doomed, but unexpectedly we found a way to live from a desperate situation.

Now thinking back, without the Black Dragon's intervention, we three would really have been grass on our graves.

Seeing Lin An's mood improve considerably, Zhang Tie gave a hehe laugh, his face full of nostalgia.

"Captain Lin."

"Didn't we later also encounter those meme dolls?"

"Oh, and there was the big spider."

"Those two things were so badass, we didn't even know how to kill them."

"In the end, weren't they settled just by your few sentences?"

"And then later..."

"What the hell, ghost infants and immortal asuras."

"These two monsters are each more unsolvable than the other."

"I heard Colonel Chu say that these two monsters, if either were just let loose, could destroy an entire war zone!"

"But, so what?"

"One turned into a big treasure, the other into a big battery."

"Tsk tsk."

Zhang Tie wore an expression of sighing and self-satisfaction.

This self-satisfaction came from being proud that he and Lin An had faced these things together.

Speaking frankly.

In Zhang Tie's heart, he didn't think anyone in this world faced more difficulties than Lin An did.

Therefore, he was full of confidence in Lin An.

Just that.

As he spoke, Zhang Tie couldn't help but sigh.

It wasn't a sigh about the unknown future ahead, but a sigh about himself.

He scratched the back of his head, his tone somewhat low:

"Captain Lin, I know I'm slow-witted and can't help you with anything."

"Like Gao Tian, that kid has freakish talent; he'll definitely be useful in the future."

"Like Colonel Chu, he's so smart and loves to tinker with all kinds of weird stuff."

"An Jing Tian can lead troops, appearing and disappearing like a ghost."

"Wen Ya, that little girl, can keep the base in perfect order, and she's also a rare psychic mutant."

"Even Mo Ling, that little girl, is much stronger than me..."

From beginning to end, he actually felt he was useless.

Lin An's gaze was complex; he also knew Xiong Hanzi actually felt somewhat inferior.

From the day he gave Xiong Hanzi the Suturer's arm, it was clear that Zhang Tie, upon putting on the arm, even cried out in excitement.

A fierce and ruthless man with iron bones, he actually deep down craved power more than anyone.

When they first met, Zhang Tie personally watched his brother die right before his eyes.

Inside the inn, his most beloved little sister almost got harassed.

Every time they encountered danger, he was beaten to severe injury, near death.

It can be said that his talent limited his strength.

Although, Lin An didn't pay attention to these things.

But for Zhang Tie, compared to the other team members, he felt somewhat inferior about his ability, worrying that he couldn't help much.

Lin An didn't know how to comfort him, so he just silently patted Xiong Hanzi's shoulder.

When Zhang Tie realized he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have, he inevitably felt he had done wrong.

"Captain Lin, I'm just a rough guy. Actually I don't have much to say; I just want to say..."
