Chapter 385: That Mountain

+ "No!!!"

Lin An stared fixedly at the outside of the tower.

Even if one is inside the absolutely Safety black tower, the pressure brought by the hundreds of millions of third-rank zombie tide no longer limited by terrain is enough to make one feel despair.

"Come back! You fucking come back for me!"

He paid no heed.

Zhang Tie silently turned his head and calmly accepted the zombie tide attack.

The zombie breaking the sound barrier pierced his body instantly like black lightning, like a bullet penetrating.

He repeatedly swung his massive palm, knocking the zombies down.

Futile.

In an instant, the shockwave descended.

The shockwave from the flesh impact exploded like a missile blast, smashing the giant bear's body into a puddle of meat.

Arms shattered, crushed.

Lower legs severed, turning into blood foam.

Life force rapidly faded.

Xiong Hanzi slumped against the black tower, sitting on the ground, the light in his eyes gradually dimming.

The innate indestructible tenacity effect was instantly activated.

The 3-second immunity-to-death effect activated, a soft white light shielded his head.

A wall's thickness separates life and death.

Zhang Tie gave a self-deprecating smile, strained to turn his head back, somewhat reluctant to look at Lin An, who was almost going crazy: "Lin Dui."

"Lin Dui."

"The power of the third rank... damn it feels great..."

Face Pain trembled.

The deliciousness of the third-rank flesh attracted the zombies above all else, like bone-eating maggots, hordes of zombies flew onto his body, nibbling bit by bit.

Xiong Hanzi weakly lifted his left hand.

As the only intact arm, the zombies would not eat the left hand from the suturer.

He pressed his palm against the transparent wall:

"Lin Dui.."

"Don't even think about rescuing me back..."

"Even if I go back now, I can't replenish my life force."

"The feeling of being eaten alive really hurts..."

Lin An looked at Xiong Hanzi with bloodshot eyes, the sorrow in his eyes incomprehensible:

"Why?!"

"Why go to throw away your life?!"

"What exactly did Chu An say to you?!"

Nameless anger and pain weighed on his heart like a ten-thousand-catty stone.

Chu An must have said something! Chu An must have deceived himself!

He couldn't figure it out, couldn't figure out why Chu An would let Zhang Tie go to his death.

To let his brother die miserably before his own eyes?!

He had experienced the pain of being devoured alive by zombies, and he knew how cruel that was.

Outside the black tower, the black bear under the protection of white light bared its teeth and squeezed out an ugly grin:

"Lin Dui..."

"Don't blame Colonel Chu."

"The only way to break the situation is for me to die."

"Heh.. heh.."

The pain of being gnawed made him somewhat unable to speak.

After taking a heavy breath, Zhang Tie's eyes flashed with a memory:

"Lin Dui, you wouldn't guess..."

"Colonel Chu and I have talked about some things, but I didn't tell you."

"Of course, he himself isn't actually sure either."

"I'm not going to die for nothing..."

"cough.. cough"

"Didn't you say? Amoeba worms become what they eat."

"If it ate the dead me, then wouldn't it all be dead..."

"Colonel Chu said... the dying protection, reversed, means certain death after three seconds..."

"These beasts, can't replenish life force..."

"Me, am I not that stupid?"

The smile was ugly, forced.

Xiong Hanzi's life force grew weaker and weaker, like a candle about to go out at any moment.

Under the last-second death-immunity protection, Zhang Tie squeezed out the last bit of strength, word by word:

"Lin Dui."

"In the next life, let's still be brothers."

"I've returned your life to you..."

The white light disappeared.

Besides the white light disappearing, Zhang Tie's life also disappeared.

Beep, savior team member Zhang Tie, connection severed.

Please quickly make up the five members.

Inside the Black Tower, Lin An knelt dazedly on the ground, watching blankly as the zombie devoured Zhang Tie's corpse entirely.

It felt familiar.

But this time, it wasn't him who died.

He remembered that day at the base's bonfire feast, when the drunk Zhang Tie swayed unsteadily.

Captain Lin, if I die...

The sky began to rain corpses.

The third-rank zombies floating in the air began to twitch after a brief stiffness, their bodies collapsing, then falling like raindrops to the ground.

The zombie that had devoured Zhang Tie's corpse, while gaining strength, also consumed the system's protective special effect power.

Unable to replenish vitality, within just three seconds, all zombie bodies faced collapse.

Just like a delicious poison.

The zombies that first ate the corpses began to die in droves.

Beep, detected that all Amoeba Worms in the Instance World are about to die; the instance will automatically end.

In 30 seconds, forced transmission back to the real world.

With the sound of mission completion, Lin An, who had knelt on the ground, stood up dazedly, swaying.

The mission was completed, but Zhang Tie died.

Inside the High Tower, Klein looked with a sigh at the pile of corpses stacked outside the tower.

This time, the corpse pile was truly a corpse pile.

Your companion is truly brave.

I never thought the Amoeba Worms could be resolved.

He had at least witnessed over a hundred planes and experienced dozens of major and minor catastrophe crises.

I had thought the Amoeba Worms belonged to the unsolvable category, but I never expected these outsiders before me to actually solve the Amoeba Worms.

The method was simple yet unexpectedly surprising.

For some reason, he couldn't help but sigh at the so-called immortality.

Immortality...

Where does true immortality really exist?

I'm afraid even the professor himself never imagined that the unsolvable Amoeba Worms would be eliminated like this.

Klein couldn't help but walk up to Lin An to congratulate him.

In his opinion, Lin An and the others should be like plane inspectors, responsible for resolving catastrophes in small worlds.

Just as he was about to congratulate Lin An.

Unexpectedly, Lin An's eyes turned completely black, and with an icy voice he grabbed his head:

"Now! Immediately! Open the teleportation array!"

A white sheet of paper fluttered down to the ground.

The skull made a creaking sound as it was pinched.

Klein was stunned.

What do you want to do?

Are you going to look for your companion's corpse?

The zombies outside are still dying, although they are in a state of chain collapse, but it's still too dangerous.

At most one minute, they will completely have no threat...

Fingertips exerted force.

Lin An's pupils were pitch black, and waves of chilling destructive aura madly spread from within his body.

On the panel, Fearful Body progress 19.9%.

Gloop.

His throat convulsed.

Feeling Lin An's sudden eruption of eerie aura, Klein's eyes flashed with intense fear.

If he kept nagging, the man before him would really kill him.

Not daring to hesitate any longer, he hastily opened the teleportation array in a way he couldn't comprehend.

Boom!!

In Gao Tian's shocked gaze, Lin An instantly rushed out of the Black Tower.

Captain Lin!!

Lin An!? It's dangerous outside!

Outside the High Tower, the scattered zombies floating in midair instinctively turned their heads.

Roar!!

The fierce howl echoed across the sky.

What Klein said was correct.

Even though these amoeba worm zombies are in a state of bodily collapse, they still possess third-rank power.

Going out now is too dangerous.

Inside the tower, Mo Ling's tear stains on her face haven't dried.

She instinctively wanted to follow Lin An out, but Gao Tian firmly held her in place.

He looked at the note Lin An had dropped, and a strong sense of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

"Don't go out!"

"Lin Dui wants to grab back Zhang Ge's arm!"

Mo Ling turned her head in shock toward Gao Tian, as if she had thought of something.

The system's cold countdown sounded:

"29.."

"28.."

At the same time.

Corpses falling like raindrops piled up into a huge corpse mountain.

In midair, Lin An floated silently, his eyes fixed on the arm being dragged away by zombies beneath the corpse mountain.

Sensing the presence of living beings, the few remaining third-rank zombies in a state of bodily collapse flew over rapidly, howling.

Flesh, craving.

Ignoring the impending impact, Lin An flipped his wrist and clenched the causal sequence hourglass tightly in his palm.

"Black Dragon!"

"Help me!"

As fragments and clues pieced together, the last trace of reason flickered in Lin An's dark eyes.

His breathing was ragged.

Before Zhang Tie's death, he finally understood what Chu An intended to do!

He recalled the future scene Yun Lin had seen.

"The Sewer's left hand won't be eaten by zombies!"

"The letter Chu An left behind was meant for him to bring the arm back!"

Although he didn't know why Chu An wanted him to bring back the arm, Lin An also guessed that possibility!

So, no matter what.

Within 27 seconds, he must find Zhang Tie's remaining left hand amid the corpse mountain!

On his wrist, the Black Dragon flew out, sensing Lin An's madness with some unease.

"Causal Sequence! Future!"

"Hum—!"

Having expended all his spiritual power, the Black Dragon let out a human-like sigh, shared his spiritual power with Lin An, then sank into Lin An's back.

Spiritual power was repeatedly drained, life force surged.

His face aged rapidly.

The Fearful Eye appeared, continuously healing Lin An's collapsing body.

Aging, youth.

Under the continuous irradiation of the Fearful Eye.

In sync with it, the progress of the Fearful Body increased.

Power drawn from the Black Dragon's storage flowed incessantly into the Causal Sequence.

Amid the body's repeated collapse, the Causal Sequence finally gathered sufficient energy.

The reversal began.

"Roar!!!"

A dragon's roar from the Sovereign of the Shen Yuan world.

After entering Lin An's body, the Black Dragon that had borne future power erupted with invincible draconic might.

Black wings appeared behind him.

In midair, under the Sovereign's intense eruptive pressure, the third-rank amoeba worm zombies stiffened like puppets.

If it's a worm, it will fear the pressure of superiors!

Sword light burst forth.

A piercing sword light that split the sky shattered the dim heavens.

Return countdown:

"9.."

"8.."

"3.."

On the corpse mountain, the man with wings sprouting from his back like a demon frantically searched for that arm.

"Not this one.."

"Not this either!!"
