Chapter 400: Mistake

Someone as brutal and bloodthirsty as Lin An can only cooperate openly based on interests.

Their capital for survival is the Military Region's great strength.

Although she didn't see panic in Lin An's eyes, Gao Yan still took a deep breath and spoke quickly:

"A defense mission of this difficulty, I'm sure you're finding it very taxing."

"We can cooperate; the Wangjiang Military Region can support you with part of its strength."

"Or, as long as you're willing to join us, the Wangjiang Military Region will definitely dispatch troops to help you overcome this crisis!"

Absolute confidence.

Gao Yan still had great confidence in the Wangjiang Military Region's strength.

She believed that upon hearing this number, Lin An would certainly have some reservations.

Without the Wangjiang Military Region's support, Long'an Base hardly has any chance of surviving this crisis.

Even, she faintly guessed that Lin An's inexplicable seeking of them might mean he was secretly searching for the Wangjiang Military Region.

Was his earlier move a show of force?

Did they actually also want to seek aid from the Military Region?

Not only did she think this, but the soldiers hearing Gao Yan's words also quickly chimed in:

"Exactly! Your situation is very dangerous right now!"

"100,000 zombies and mutants! Only we can help you!"

"Your recent act of killing the vice captain, we can overlook it, but this behavior of yours already violates the law!"

"Please, my lord, do not make any foolish moves!"

"Bang!"

The wall shattered, and a silver-white moon wolf suddenly charged in.

"Lord Lin An..."

Out of breath.

Liang Shaoguang barely managed to arrive here after rushing.

There was no way; Lin An's bursting speed was too fast—by the time he just caught the scent of the Wangjiang Squad, Lin An had already turned into a blur and rushed over.

Seeing a clump on the ground that resembled a human biscuit, Liang Shaoguang couldn't help but feel a chill.

Good grief, who's so unlucky?

Lord Lin An, it seems your 'mood' has been bad lately?

Not daring to think further, he spoke with some doubt:

"What 100,000 zombies?"

"Didn't we scout 370,000 zombies?"

He muttered to himself.

On his way over, he heard the soldiers' words and couldn't help but feel amused.

Does Long'an Base need Wangjiang Military Region support?

What nonsense, Lord Lin An had already arranged everything.

If it were really just 100,000 zombies, they could handle it with their eyes closed.

He had actually overheard Lin An and Colonel Chu's conversation; the two basically weren't worried about the zombie tide at all.

Instead, they were thinking about whether to first eliminate the Wangjiang Military Region...

His gaze calm, Lin An tilted his head to look at the soldiers trying to persuade him, then gave a light laugh and turned to look at Gao Yan:

"So many zombies? How would I not know?"

"Looks like we're really in trouble now."

"Well then."

"How do you plan to cooperate?"

Gao Yan nervously listened to Lin An's counterquestion, her eyes full of astonishment.

This tone seems somewhat teasing.

Did I get something wrong?

This moon wolf at the door is clearly one of Lin An's subordinates, its strength roughly at the First Level.

370,000 zombies?

What 370,000? We only saw 100,000...

Seeing Lin An's face show some impatience, Gao Yan had no choice but to steel herself and say:

"Yes, my lord, the defense mission you received didn't clearly state the number of zombies, right?"

"We encountered a fixed-route zombie horde six hours ago; it could only have been headed for you."

"Even if your strength is great, facing four Second-Level zombies probably gives you little chance of winning."

"Moreover, what if there are even more?"

Lin An, completely indifferent, nodded his head, signaling Gao Yan to continue.

Liang Shaoguang beside him had a strange expression.

Turns out these people only saw four Second-Level ones...

They probably just saw the biggest tank from afar.

Can Lord Lin An not handle it?

What a joke; that kid Gao Tian could handle it alone.

Taking a deep breath, Gao Yan struggled to calm her emotions and spoke in a low voice:

At least a hundred thousand zombie army and four Second Level Mutants, this scale of attacking force is too strong.

Our Wangjiang Military Region itself is also resisting the zombie tide attack, therefore...

You must agree to join us, and also report the relevant information about the Safety Mission.

As long as you agree to these two points, we are willing to exert our utmost effort to help you get through this mission.

Please think it through; blindly killing is useless, it will only bring enemies upon yourself.

We are the authorities, not your enemy!

Gao Yan finished speaking, seeing Lin An's thoughtful gaze, Gao Yan couldn't help but let out a big sigh of relief.

All good, all good.

Lin An was indeed worried about the threat of the zombie tide.

The soldier beside her exchanged a glance with her, and couldn't help but add:

Leader of Long'an Base, you don't intend to have us go to Long'an, do you?

Maybe we'll become comrades fighting side by side in the future.

Actually, the Wangjiang Military Region has been looking for you for a long time.

Only by cooperating with us do you have a chance of survival.

Why bother opposing the authorities?

As a member of Huaxia, I heard you used to be a soldier.

Obeying orders and accepting leadership is your duty!

Lin An raised his head, the corner of his mouth lifting with a faint smile:

"Oppose? Killing is useless?"

"Duty?"

A light chuckle.

He caught sight of the soldier's right hand held behind his back in his peripheral vision.

These few people all had laser coordinates on them, obviously intending to scout the coordinates of Long'an Base.

Fight side by side? Want to go to Long'an Base?

Heh, you're thinking of getting the coordinates after reaching the base, right?

Joining hands to resist the zombie tide is a pretense; maybe they'll take advantage of the zombie attack to force the Safe Zone to relocate.

With laser coordinates, long-range bombardment is entirely possible.

Such a trick, even Lin An could think of it with his toes.

The reward for holding the Safe Zone, the Wangjiang Military Region definitely wants!

Gao Yan and the soldier's thoughts stirred in private, unable to help but glance at each other furtively.

How?

How is this Lin An behaving so strangely?

At this time, shouldn't one apologize anxiously to oneself and others, then lead them to Long'an Base?

Wasn't that said quite clearly?

If you want to complete the city-defense mission, offending the Wangjiang Military Region will still get you a sweet reward?

In the midst of their thoughts, several people couldn't help but want to speak of Tang Wan's news.

Should we say that Tang Wan is in the Wangjiang Military Region?

If Lin An still has other ideas, harboring doubts, should we use the name of his fiancée to deceive him into agreeing first?

Anyway, their mission is to find Long'an Base; the follow-up matters will naturally be handled by others.

Just as Gao Yan hesitated, wanting to speak, Lin An suddenly spoke:

"Do you want to go to Long'an Base?"

"Sure."

Unexpectedly, several people looked at each other, unable to suppress great joy.

Joy evident on their faces.

As expected, even fools know what to do in such a situation!

The hope of completing the mission is right before their eyes.

However, after Lin An's brief pause, he asked the next question:

"How many more squads do you have? Where are they respectively?"

"Shall we go together?"

Gao Yan listened, didn't think much, and with an excited face quickly reported the locations of the other squads.

The more people go, the more accurate the transmitted coordinate information becomes.

Anyway, the first person to contact Lin An is him; with her identity, she doesn't need to worry about others stealing the credit.

Just as she was about to say something with a smile, she almost forgot that Zhao Zhiping had died.

Suddenly, a calm yet terrifying order was issued.

"Tie them up; if they don't obey, crush their hands and feet."

"I'll go kill the other recon squads first, then we'll return to Long'an."

As the words fell, Gao Yan looked cold all over at Lin An turning and leaving, only feeling her legs go weak.

I...

It seems I've committed a grave mistake...

What on earth is this man thinking!?
