Chapter 444

~7 min read 1,237 words

Anxious as if on fire.

Gao Yan instinctively looked at Wang Meng, wanting to say something.

However.

Wang Meng, grim-faced, raised his hand to stop Gao Yan from speaking, but his thoughts raced.

They had previously discussed Lin An's strength and his suspected weaknesses.

Lin An's power is fearsome, his spiritual energy abundant as if cheat-enabled.

But his spiritual energy reserves seem not to be infinite.

Therefore.

Whether the monster is third rank or not, judging solely by its current terrifying performance.

Lin An is now more than capable of facing the monster.

It's not that we underestimate Lin An's strength, but everyone can see he's already spent.

Before, he could repeatedly unleash spiritual energy, but up until the monster appeared he hadn't used a single skill, relying solely on leaping and his physical condition to escape.

As for Lin An, he actually unleashed an invisible divine spike, which they cannot see.

Therefore, Wang Meng felt some inner turmoil.

If Lin An were at his peak, he might still be able to fight the monster, but now...

It's obvious, even this bystander has thought of it.

This monster, which combines all mutant abilities, is clearly lurking in the shadows.

Not acting before was likely a plan to consume Lin An's strength using 'cannon fodder'.

I just don't know why such a monster would appear.

Who could pass a mission of this difficulty?

The situation deteriorated instantly.

In the scene.

Many soldiers who instinctively wanted to shoot to help Lin An attract attention were instantly shaken by the giant eye into a puddle of blood.

Some resemble mental attack methods.

It looks like each time Lin An moves, he pauses briefly, which is when the monster's giant eye locks on and attacks him.

What to do?

What should I do!!

He knew what Gao Yan wanted to say: nothing more than to have him deploy the armored forces.

Right now Lin An has encountered a crisis, an unexpected one.

If he helps out, would that be like sending charcoal in the snow?

To help or not to help?

Hesitant and torn.

Among the armored forces he dispatched, there are indeed many hidden trump cards.

For example, an experimental supersonic 'Razor series tactical missile.'

Exceeding Mach 3 in speed, and loaded with a high-solubility armor-piercing warhead.

Unlike the standard anti-tank armor-piercing shells of tank guns, this missile is specially designed to strike underground targets.

Its explosive power is enough to destroy any structure forty meters underground, specially used to strike the highest-level nuclear defenses.

Such weapons are already the peak of conventional arms, aside from fuel-air explosives.

Striking such a small target as an Awakened One might still have a chance to dodge, and it also requires activating standard targeting.

But the monster is so huge, you could hit it even with your eyes closed.

Just...

Each use consumes one, and he doesn't have full confidence in killing the monster with it.

If it kills the monster, that's fine...

But if it doesn't kill the monster...

If Lin An can't block it, his own troops will suffer.

That monster's speed is too fast, and it obviously possesses some intelligence.

Under pursuit, his elite forces could be wiped out!

In a moment, beads of sweat appeared on Wang Meng's forehead.

To help or not to help!!

To gamble or not to gamble?

In just two seconds, Wang Meng felt like a gambler who's lost and has red eyes.

He met Gao Yan's gaze, and couldn't help but glance at Lin An in the scene.

Fuck!

Laozi bets!

Gao Yan is the daughter of the old chief; if I don't act, she'll surely hate me for life.

More importantly, he himself was indeed convinced by Lin An's displayed strength.

Such talent, dying would be truly a pity!

Regardless of any previous conflicts or misunderstandings, he can only bet that Gao Yan truly has a close relationship with Lin An.

We're all one family.

If Lin An survives, I'll have made a huge profit!

Since we've already decided, don't hesitate.

Wang Meng took a deep breath and almost shouted at Gao Yan:

"Tell Lin An! I can help him!"

"My armored troops have the Razor Series; as a soldier he surely knows what it is!"

He let out a breath.

After Wang Meng finished, feeling relieved, he continued seriously, completely ignoring the astonished staff officer:

"You definitely have his private contact information."

"Tell him to evacuate everyone else now, watch out for the missiles."

"We can't laser-target, and we have no military satellite assistance."

"The missiles we fire can hit the target within ten seconds at most, but there will definitely be collateral damage."

"He agrees; I'll have the troops fire the missiles now!"

Actually, he had another thought.

Wang Meng even wondered whether he should fire a few extra missiles to follow along.

Anyway, one shot of the Razor will wipe out half of Long'an Base—after all, we need to guarantee its power.

Their little patch of land is too small.

Why not just toss a few more missiles and blow that place to smithereens?

That way, Lin An might later move the Safe Zone over to his side.

Of course, what Wang Meng didn't know was that moving Long'an Base would come at too great a cost.

In his imagination, the situation where obtaining a token would allow immediate reconstruction simply doesn't exist.

Gao Yan nodded excitedly after hearing that and hurriedly sent a message to Lin An.

Although I don't know what the Razor Series is, looking at the expressions of the Military Region personnel, it must be their trump card.

Long'an Base.

Under An Jing Tian's repeated orders, everyone could only stay far away from the center of the battlefield.

From the monster's appearance until now, Lin An has been constantly entangled with it.

Everyone felt as if their hearts were being tugged.

Seeing Lin An seemingly unable to fight back, while they couldn't help, many people even cursed out in frustration.

"Why! Why is our mission so hard!"

The Awakened Ones realized that this suddenly appearing mutant had actually been hiding in the shadows all along.

This is clearly the System's arrangement!

Victory was clearly within reach, yet they insisted on artificially raising the difficulty.

Many wore grim smiles, lost and dispirited.

They couldn't figure out why this city-defense mission was so difficult.

Isn't the system mission description clear enough? The difficulty shouldn't be this great!

Feeling the crowd's helpless anger, Gao Tian couldn't help but look toward Colonel Chu.

"Chu An, how could it... be like this?"

He stared at the monster relentlessly pursuing Lin An before him, his heart full of indignation and worry.

"This is clearly equivalent to double the number of mutants! And even more excessive!"

The thousand-eyed zombie formed by fusion isn't just the total strength of the dead mutants, is it?

Had they known this, they would have preferred to kill slowly, then toss each corpse into the Spirit Energy Tower for incineration after killing one.

Unlike the others, Chu An's face showed hardly any expression; instead, he looked somewhat relaxed.

At the same time, he silently looked toward the "fleeing" Lin An.

Almost there... Lin An...

You should have figured out the monster's details...

If not...

Calm and indifferent.

Chu An gripped his double guns in his hands.

In the oppressive darkness, a flash of supreme white suddenly streaked across.
