Chapter 412

At the moment An Jing Tian led the team into the zombie tide, Wen Ya's Mental Power Barrier also activated.

The broadcast image was unclear, until six Awakened Ones stepped on zombie skulls and leapt out of the zombie tide again, the entire Wangjiang Military Region Meeting Room erupted.

"What's going on!!?"

"Why aren't the zombies attacking them!!?"

Unexpectedly, what was thought to be a suicidal operation turned into a simple and brutal march.

Thanks to the Awakened Ones' superhuman physique, on screen An Jing Tian and the others dashed across the tops of the Corpse Horde as if stepping on plum blossom stakes.

The zombies beneath their feet showed no reaction; with their scent previously masked, An Jing Tian and the others left the zombies without even the most basic response.

Like fish swimming in water.

In just a few seconds, the Awakened Ones' squad running atop the zombie tide rushed up beside a Licker.

Compared to the Mental Power Barrier at Level Zero, after upgrading to First Level, Wen Ya's skill effect was greatly enhanced.

Not only does it block zombie perception, but even Mutants below Second Level cannot detect the approaching Awakened Ones.

"Great effect!"

On the team channel, Jing Tian gave heartfelt praise.

The two who stayed at the base often went out to hunt Mutants while Lin An was away on his dungeon run.

Since Wen Ya reached First Level, the two have only coordinated once.

It was merely the Mental Power Barrier when she first entered First Level, facing a single Mutant.

Unexpectedly, in this zombie tide, the Mental Power Barrier still performed excellently.

As the distance to the Mutant nearly closed, An Jing Tian's figure suddenly halted, patiently waiting, ready to strike at any moment.

Compared to the Awakened Ones' squad deep in the zombie tide, whose expressions remained unchanged, those sitting in the Wangjiang base Meeting Room felt their hearts jump to their throats.

An Awakened One in uniform stared in shock at the screen, unable to help but rise slightly.

"Too close... really too close..."

Even a weak Licker is still a Mutant.

Ordinary First-Level Awakened Ones, aside from those specializing in physical enhancement, none would claim they could inflict direct damage head-on.

Seeing An Jing Tian's team of six even daring to walk right behind the Licker's back, everyone present gasped in amazement.

"What skill is this!!?"

"Why can't the zombies detect them?"

Doubts abounded.

A squad leader responsible for statistics on Awakened Ones couldn't help but voice his speculation:

"Could it be an invisibility skill? Or camouflage?"

Despite its large population, the Wangjiang Military Region also has a considerable number of Awakened Ones.

As the one in charge of statistics on Awakened Ones' abilities, he is quite well-informed.

But upon seeing the strange scene on the screen, he could only speculate doubtfully.

"No.."

An Agility-type Awakened One replied in a low voice, eyes full of envy:

"Invisibility cannot block monsters' perception, and camouflage couldn't get this close."

"You know as well as I do that my ability is jungle camouflage."

Against ordinary zombies it's fine—I can fool them by hiding in trees—but I absolutely couldn't stick so close that they wouldn't notice.

His tone was astonished.

"This ability is definitely perception blocking plus illusion..."

"I truly don't know how it's done."

The viewers of the broadcast accepted this explanation, all marveling.

A flash of unusual color crossed Wang Meng's eyes as he sat at the front.

While others merely marveled at the ability's uniqueness, he instantly thought of the Safe Zone mission.

Invisibility... approach monsters... kill Mutants.

He secretly speculated.

Could this be the secret behind Lin An's ability to complete the Safe Zone mission?

So in Gao Yan's returned message, would she believe that Lin An truly had not exploited any so-called loophole?

Watching An Jing Tian's squad move freely among the zombies on screen, Wang Meng couldn't help but confirm his speculation to some extent.

With this ability, you could just slap C4 onto a monster, right?

Just unsure whether it would be as effective against a Second-Level Mutant.

If Lin An truly relied on the special ability of his subordinate Awakened Ones, then it would make sense.

Just.

The more Wang Meng watched, the more a sense of dissatisfaction built up in his heart.

Waste of heavenly treasure!

Such a tactical-level talent skill—how great would it be if it belonged to the Military Region's Awakened Ones?

The Wangjiang Military Region, however, is a large military region with aerospace and armored corps.

If the air force base weren't occupied by Mutants and he couldn't deploy armored units to bomb it, why would he have zero aerospace strength at hand?

If he had such an Awakened One in his hands, even using an ant-moving method to fly back a fighter jet would be good!

Must be said, as the deputy commander of the Military Region, the acting Commander Wang Meng's thoughts always consider how to strengthen the Military Region's strength.

Thinking of this, Commander Wang Meng simply solemnly instructed:

"Examine their tactics and handling methods."

"Although Long'an Base appears to be just a bunch of students, their way of dealing with zombies indeed has merit."

"We are usually accustomed to legion warfare; taking this opportunity, we can also gain some experience."

"Also, be sure to watch closely and see which Awakened One this perception‑masking ability belongs to!"

"Remember his appearance! This precious ability, no matter what, must be taken back!"

The Wangjiang Awakened Ones nodded heavily at the sound, and under the enthusiastic analysis of several staff officers, they also realized how useful this ability was.

Besides that, using it to steal equipment is a blast!

As the discussion subsided, a piercing buzz from a lava ray suddenly came from the screen.

"Now!"

As if to "take care" of the viewers, the camera responsible for the broadcast suddenly zoomed in.

Only seen, the six‑person squad hidden in the center of the screen suddenly struck.

Flash Stab!

Reverse Hand Chisel Strike!

Black mist flickered, and An Jing Tian, who had been hiding beneath the lurker's feet, instantly appeared above the monster's head, dagger reversed in hand, delivering a fierce blow as if descending from the heavens.

"Hiss!"

The scorching heat ray from the Spiritual Energy Defense Tower and the sound of the dagger piercing almost rang out together, the palm‑length dagger instantly sinking into the lurker's head.

One strike kills!

The remaining lurker had no time to react; its grotesque, severely burned head barely turned.

Before it could even let out a roar,

As if appearing out of thin air, the squad members immediately attacked.

Split Slash!

Arcane Energy Impact Fist!

Bone-Crushing Scythe!

Various spiritual energies erupted instantly, skills aimed at the monsters' weak points piercing their bodies without hindrance.

In a breath, the two lurkers mixed in the corpse tide were instantly slain.

"So fast!"

In the observation meeting room, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

Killing the lurkers held no surprise, but such coordination and speed were indeed impressive.

Seeing An Jing Tian's six successfully strike, they instantly blasted the zombies beneath their feet and leapt into midair.

Taking advantage of the opening, Wen Ya once again set up a mental power barrier.

The last lurker, originally lashing out in fury, gazed dazedly at the six's position.

The zombie that had just caught the scent of blood at its feet also lost its target.

If they could speak, these monsters would surely shout.

Where are the people!?

Just as the meeting room crowd thought An Jing Tian would withdraw from the battle, they discovered that the squad members, with their mental power barrier renewed, had once again circled behind the last lurker.

The same method repeated.

The clueless lurkers were like moving targets.

Backstab!

Bone Extraction!

Explosive Punch!

The poor lurker didn't even swing a claw before being inexplicably killed by "air".

The corpses fell to the ground, and the squad members even tied the lurkers' bodies with rope.

With a successful strike, only the helplessly ragging corpse horde clawed at the air remained.

At the same time, the Looking River meeting room fell silent.

Three mutants, still mixed among tens of thousands of zombies.

Just like that, resolved?

Watching Jing Tian's squad leisurely crawl back onto the city wall amidst the zombies, they felt their worldview shaken.

Although they didn't display strong combat power, this killing method was practically child's play.

Charging into the corpse tide, sneak attacking, turning invisible then sneak attacking again.

In less than half a minute, the three mutants were taken care of.

Watching An Jing Tian still having the leisure to drag the mutants' corpses onto the city wall, they didn't know how to evaluate him.

After a moment, Wang Meng finally managed to say:

"Find! We must find out who released that skill!"

"No matter whether Long'an Base can hold out! I will definitely get my hands on that person!"

"Damn, how can there be such a powerful skill!"

"This isn't a life-or-death battle; it's clearly just playing with fools."

Just thinking of how tragic it was when his Military Region faced the Mutants, Long'an Base's current killing method simply makes him drool with envy. with envy.
