Chapter 468: Lin Chu Plan

Long'an Base.

Chu Colonel looked at Lin An's fervent gaze, for a moment at a loss for words.

After thinking, he frowned slightly and gave his answer:

"If it's to resurrect Zhang Tie, about three hundred people should be enough."

"After all, we don't necessarily need to resurrect him to the Second Level state; we only need to resurrect him to an ordinary player's level."

Moreover.

Re-awakening might yield better results.

After all, his previous talent was somewhat useless.

A second awakening has a high chance of obtaining an enhanced Bear Transformation talent.

He paused for a moment.

However, we need Awakened Ones.

Ordinary players have too little spiritual energy in their bodies, and they dissipate a lot of energy upon death.

Simply resurrecting him, about three hundred Awakened Ones should be enough.

Lin An, upon hearing this, instinctively asked back:

"Three hundred? Is that too few..."

"I saw in the Death Seed that it clearly states it preserves the vitality and spirit from before death."

"The Awakened Ones I beat to death may not retain much energy, right?"

"Better to accumulate a lot of energy at once; anyway, after I make my move, I'll leave."

"Didn't you say the system is likely to issue a punishment mission to me again?"

Furthermore.

Lin An's idea is very simple.

The base currently lacks high-end combat power.

Whether he later goes to the Secret Realm to seek promotion to Third Rank, with or without Zhang Tie, he needs a powerful Awakened One to support the force.

Relying on Gao Tian alone is insufficient.

Xiong Hanzi is easy to use; even if he stays at the base, he can serve as high-end combat power.

Chu An pondered for a moment, his brows furrowed:

"In the original plan, even if you were to eliminate other hostile forces,"

"but that doesn't mean we have to kill many people."

"People's hearts are important, reputation is also important."

"The base wants to recruit personnel; if your image is too bloodthirsty, it's easy to create a negative impression."

"Many things can be done covertly, handled by me and Gao Tian. But you cannot."

"You also know that the survivors of the Huaxia war zone's opinion of us is already not good, driven by some forces."

"Doing this is tantamount to giving them an excuse, a set of talking points."

"Moreover, we also plan to absorb these Awakened Ones; if you kill too many, it actually amounts to self-harm to our strength."

Lin An also frowned upon hearing this; he did not agree with Chu An's statement.

To be frank, if we bind ourselves over these matters for the sake of a so-called positive image, what's the point?

Chu An always strives for perfection in his deeds; where in the world is there such a good thing?

"Awakened Ones are not important."

"Just like the loophole we discussed earlier, we can mass-produce Awakened Ones."

"Dying a few is no big deal."

"Moreover, I think the Awakened Ones we cultivate ourselves would actually be easier."

"External Awakened Ones are not that easy to manage."

Chu An saw that he didn't quite agree with his idea, and fell into silent contemplation.

After a while.

He still followed Lin An's idea, giving another plan with slight hesitation:

"Then the plan will be changed anew."

"You want to accumulate more energy to help Xiong Hanzi resurrect; that's not impossible."

"But, there needs to be a just cause."

"At least on the surface, I need you to kill those who deserve death, so that the outside world can accept the 'reason' we give."

After organizing his thoughts, Chu An gently lifted his glasses frame and spoke his idea:

"My original idea was to kill a few faction leaders, destroy their confidence in resistance, kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. A show of force would suffice."

"But if you want to reap more, then we can only resort to entrapment."

"That's how it is."

"No one would be foolish enough to throw away their life, especially after witnessing your strength."

"I originally planned to first reveal your strength, then act."

"Now we can only do the opposite."

"Even deliberately spread false news, claiming your strength is weak or that you're injured."

"Given the personalities of those in the chat channel, there will surely be Awakened Ones thinking of stepping on you to rise."

"This way, let them jump out on their own! Create an opportunity for them to provoke us!"

"This way, we will have a legitimate reason to act, and the deterrent effect might be even better than before."

His train of thought grew clearer.

Lin An nodded slightly, his eyes flashing.

He did indeed think so.

Following Chu An's meaning, Lin An suddenly came up with an idea, and added with a slight smile:

"Release false information."

"Can also sell 'money'."

"This matter, we might as well leave it to the Wangjiang Military Region to handle."

"I believe they definitely kept the recording."

"After editing, make it into a fake recording, then secretly sell it to several forces."

"If all goes well, many people will buy this information."

"At that time, arrange a few people to act and fan the flames, letting them jump out on their own..."

"I believe many people think that, with me seriously injured, I will surely be unable to hold back."

"After all, there are too many people who would love to see me trampled underfoot."

A cold chuckle.

Lin An could imagine how many people harbor ill will toward him.

If he were to show his strength, those rats would shrink back and hide, which would be annoying.

Rather than that, it would be better to take this opportunity to wipe out all the rats nearby in one fell swoop!

If we kill, let's kill thoroughly, until everyone nearby is terrified.

Only then will they put aside their petty thoughts once and for all.

Under the bright lights, Chu An lightly nodded, agreeing with his proposal.

He suddenly chuckled, then added a few more sentences in a relaxed tone:

"Then how about this?"

"If we're going to act, we go all the way; the same goes for doing things."

"The Wangjiang Military Region—I originally planned to gradually undermine it, arrange for our people to be stationed there, and eat away at it, annexing it."

"After all, even if the Wangjiang Military Region cooperates with us, and Gao Wang works with us, we would still face considerable resistance in trying to fully control the Military Region."

"Soldiers are different from ordinary people; you can't make them submit just by purging them a few times."

"But rashly eliminating the hardliners would easily cause alienation and loss of loyalty."

As they spoke, Chu An suddenly opened a private chat channel and quickly sent a message to Fan Bing.

Seeing Lin An looking curious, he replied unhurriedly:

"Nothing."

"I only told Fan Bing to have her tell Wang Meng."

"Although Lin An held back the corpse tide and completed the mission,"

"but under the attack of a third-rank mutant, he suffered serious injuries and his strength plummeted."

"That's why we haven't contacted them yet; we'll discuss matters after your injuries heal."

"By the way, spread this news..."

Lin An blinked slightly, looking at Colonel Chu An.

Sitting opposite him.

Chu An wore a smile, looking exactly like a scheming villain.
