Chapter 398

Zhao Zhiping heard the words and smiled, his gaze flickering toward Gao Yan seated at the cash register.

His strength had reached the peak of the First Level, and even in the entire Wangjiang Military Region he was considered outstanding.

Besides the strongest Second Level legion commander, he was second.

The soldier speaking had a good relationship with him and was obviously speaking well of him.

As for Gao Yan, he had admired her for a long time.

Feigning modesty, he waved his hand; Zhao Zhiping eagerly picked up a slice of lamb and walked to Gao Yan's side.

"Captain Gao Yan, after the zombie tide passes, we'll hang back."

"Actually, I've thought about it, we can completely send someone to directly contact the people of Long'an Base."

"Anyway, they don't know our true purpose."

"If you don't say it, I won't say it."

"We don't need to turn hostile."

"Just say we want to provide a batch of supplies to them, or ask if they want us to intervene..."

"The zombie tide is so huge; they must be anxious about how to hold out."

"Let's talk; maybe if we show up, they'll feel they can't hold on and directly beg us to hand over the token, letting the Military Region protect their lives."

"Tsk tsk, at that time, that would be a great merit!"

The soldiers eating hot pot had their eyes light up, and many quickly echoed:

"That's right!"

"Speaking honestly, a zombie tide of this scale is tough for us to hold!"

"We saw earlier, didn't we? There were as many as four mutants in the zombie tide!"

Soldiers who had seen the mutant in the zombie tide from afar would feel a jolt of fear whenever they thought of the huge tank.

This thing, without using rocket artillery for large-scale barrage strikes, simply cannot be stopped.

When they first faced this siege-type mutant, they suffered heavy losses.

The Awakened Ones squad that led the kill of the mutant lost more than half its members.

Later, they still relied on the Awakened Ones to wound it, armor-piercing rounds enlarged the wound, and finally they eliminated it with a rocket barrage.

Even their Wangjiang Military Region, a regular legion, found it this tough; one can imagine the fate of Long'an Base.

As a military force, they naturally felt superior to private armed groups.

Of course, this is also a fact.

"Yeah! I've been wondering whether those people at Long'an Base still don't know what they're up against."

"I've heard that the defense mission information given to newly built safe zones is vague, just giving a rough number."

The soldier holding meatballs looked up, beaming, and voiced his own view as well as that of most people:

"They probably are still in the dark; otherwise they'd have already called for help."

"I think a private force can't withstand a zombie tide of this scale."

"Especially, they don't even have a Second Level."

"Not necessarily."

Gao Yan furrowed her brows slightly and suddenly spoke.

She raised her hand to reject Zhao Zhiping, feeling a faint unease inside.

"Lin An not having a Second Level doesn't mean Long'an Base lacks one."

"On the rankings, one can choose not to display the faction suffix."

"Still the same saying: I hope everyone doesn't underestimate the enemy."

"The world's first safe zone, whether Lin An built it through clever means or this person has an ordinary background,"

"He definitely has his outstanding qualities."

"This mission, be careful, careful, and careful again!"

Listening to Gao Yan refute him in front of the team members, Zhao Zhiping couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.

He had long admired "Captain Gao."

"Not only is she beautiful, mainly it's her identity."

"She is the daughter of the chief of the Wangjiang Military Region; such an identity, before the apocalypse, even a lowly private like me wouldn't dare to dream of."

"Undoubtedly a red third-generation, a military third-generation."

"But."

"I heard that the chief of the Military Region went to the capital for a meeting before the apocalypse broke out and still hasn't returned."

"Even privately."

"He even heard that the old chief had a 'bit of a conflict' with the high-ups in the Capital Military Region."

"Thus, the deputy chief of the Military Region also developed a bit of ulterior motive."

"It is precisely because of these factors that Gao Yan chose to join the scouting team, hoping to earn this merit."

"Just wait and see."

"Originally just an ordinary soldier, Zhao Zhiping had sufficient confidence in himself."

"He has decent talent and strong strength."

"Since the apocalypse broke out, a thing called ambition has taken root and sprouted deep in his heart."

"Just as he was about to say something, the scout in the team who possessed a spirit mouse suddenly jumped up in panic."

"Unease, extreme unease."

"The spirit mouse's talent makes it unusually sensitive to spiritual energy and danger."

Captain!

A terrifying spirit energy is rapidly approaching us!

3 seconds! No!

In my perception, a mass of lifeform representing black emotion rapidly approached; although it was far away just now, in the blink of an eye it approached us.

Too fast!

Too fast!

The soldier possessing Spirit Mouse Talent trembled all over; his talent avoids harm and seeks benefit, able to roughly gauge the threat level.

In his perception, the danger level of that black mist surpasses everything he has encountered.

Stronger than a Second-Level Mutant!?

What exactly is it!?

Especially the negative emotions contained in the black mist; just a slight perception feels like falling into an ice cellar.

Brutal, slaughter, mixed with a strong smell of blood.

As the soldier shouted a warning, just as everyone hastily stood up on alert, only heard the Spirit Mouse Talent scout cry out:

Here it comes!

Boom!!

Strong wind pressure swept across the entire shop; the hot pot on the ground was flung upside down by the high-speed moving wind pressure.

Before several people could activate their skills, a figure bathed in Holy Gold Spirit Energy instantly smashed the concrete wall and appeared before our eyes.

Danger! Danger!

Strong unease fills the mind.

Instinctively, Zhao Zhiping subconsciously wanted to activate a skill.

Magic Eye Vine...

Bang!

Lin An's eyes flashed with silver light for a moment, and a massive spiritual strike was unleashed instantly.

Zhao Zhiping's green spirit energy flashed and vanished; his skill, just activated halfway, was interrupted by his strike.

Puff

Blood spurted out; he didn't even have time to release his skill's thing, Zhao Zhiping spat a mouthful of blood mist from his mouth, his whole body slammed into the wall under the substantive spiritual impact.

Wall ash puffed.

The hard concrete wall was struck into a human shape, swaying as if about to fall.

Eyes full of shock.

Suddenly, the shocking change stunned everyone.

The remaining soldiers saw that their squad's strongest was instantly severely wounded, and panic surged in their hearts.

Too terrifying!

Just what kind of person is this!?

Is it a person or a monster!?

No time for extra thought.

Lin An faced forward; the stiffened Gao Yan standing in place, after seeing the face beneath the spirit energy, let out a cry:

Lin An!?

You are.. Lin An!?
