Chapter 482: Annihilation

Furthermore, everything is just speculation.

In the Safe Zone rankings, the Faction: Long An Safe Zone still holds first place, and even the suffix remains Huaxia.

Having received the Military Region's approval, and with many forces' leaders seeking to suppress Lin An taking advantage of the opportunity, they have all come forward.

With such a good opportunity, such a perfect explanation, how could they not make good use of it?

As long as they can brand the Faction: Long An as treason, who would still dare to go to them?

Especially the big and small gathering places around Riverside, they now wish to turn this set of arguments into fact.

Since the Faction: Long An announced the recruitment of Survivors, they clearly felt that their subordinates began to stir, many lower-level Survivors started riots, wanting to break away from them.

In an instant, countless arguments and speculation flooded the channels.

Moreover, many faction representatives secretly beat their chests and stomped their feet.

The nine factions participating in the death match all share a common point.

That is, they harbor strong hostility toward Lin An and the Long'an Base, and repeatedly proclaim they will kill Lin An and seize the Long'an Base.

The system's death match...

Could it be that it's selected based on the attitudes of all sides?

If we also expressed this attitude earlier, could we also get a share?

The victor's side obtains all the loser's supplies...

9 vs 1...

Long'an Base, it's doomed no matter what.

What's the difference between this and a pie falling from the sky?

This is truly enviable.

Undercurrents surge.

Capital Military Region Garrison Command, a political faction official looked at the information sent from the subordinate military regions, and hesitantly replied:

"Since the system has opened the death match, we have no need to intervene."

"The senior leadership are all busy with important matters... I can't make a decision."

"However, the Long'an Base's destruction is already a foregone conclusion."

"If that's the case, we naturally don't need to do something redundant; we don't need to intervene."

"After those nine finish the death match, let the nearby military regions retrieve the Safety Token from them."

"We can give them equipment and supplies, but the Safety Token must be taken in hand."

The official repeatedly read his wording several times, feeling there was no major problem.

Although his position is not low, he only has a superficial understanding of the struggles among the high levels.

He merely vaguely sensed that Lin An might have a "person" behind him.

Anyway, since you all aren't giving orders, I'll just muddy the waters.

Especially upon noticing that as soon as Lin An appears, the capital immediately encounters problems, with the senior leadership all being "entangled".

All these manifestations inevitably cause him to let his imagination run wild.

I'd better not pick the wrong side...

The official, consoling himself, gave up letting the subordinate military regions step forward, and formally announced that in Huaxia's official stance, the Long'an Base belongs to treasonous independence.

He also gave up monitoring the military regions around the river, inquiring whether they intended to use strategic strikes.

Anyway, defining it whenever is fine, and he's not in a rush for a moment...

If he ends up taking the blame, and the Long'an Base is backed by some senior faction, wouldn't he become a thorn in their eye?

Just...

Watching the system issue so many announcements contrary to its usual pattern, and combining various signs.

A hint of suspicion involuntarily flashed in his eyes.

Is it a coincidence...

Or... a conspiracy?

9 vs 1... Does the system also want the Long'an Base dead?

Inside the Long'an Base.

A brand-new Annihilator 22 sixth-generation fighter jet sat on the repaired alloy ground, with all base members excitedly gathered around, chattering.

"Lord Lin An! Take us with you!"

"Destroy those bastards! I've tolerated them for a long time!"

"Yeah! Take us with you!"

The crowd's emotions ran high.

Those who know Lin An's true strength don't even put the death match forces in their eyes.

They're just a bunch of little mice; they should have been crushed long ago!

Although they also found it strange that the system would issue such an announcement, they didn't pay it much mind.

Compared to the outside world's utter pessimism, they weren't worried at all.

Except for a few vigilant Awakened Ones who believe the Long'an Base can withstand the corpse tide, its strength might not be weak.

But amidst all the opposing voices, they appear exceptionally unconventional.

After all, the Long'an Base has not yet displayed any high-end combat power.

When Lin An released the information, they clearly saw that after Lin An's name, there was a "1 Fourth Rank" attached.

As for the faction's strength...

Withstanding the corpse tide inevitably causes great vital energy loss; otherwise the Long'an Base wouldn't have rushed to emerge and extensively recruited personnel.

What's more.

9 versus 1, how to fight? Moreover, there is actually a proper safe zone.

Inside the fighter jet cockpit, Lin An, familiar yet unfamiliar, explored the internal facilities.

Compared to the fighter jet inside the Amoeba Worm dungeon, this jet that Mo Ling infiltrated Jiangjiang Air Force Base and transmitted back can be said to be a treasure at the bottom of the box.

The latest sixth-generation fighter jet, armed with four conventional tactical missiles, two air-to-ground, and a supersonic engine with a top speed of Mach 3.3.

A fully electronic combat platform, worthy of being called a top-tier fighter jet.

Although hindered by psychic interference, most auxiliary functions cannot be used, but pure manual operation is no difficulty for an Awakened One like Lin An.

"Chu An, start the broadcast in 6 minutes."

"The first target for annihilation is Steel City, right?"

From deep within memory came an instinct; Lin An half-familiar started the fighter jet's engine.

Since the second Lin An appeared, he clearly felt that his memory had gained many skills he had never mastered.

The high-frequency engine roared; the piercing whine before startup caused nearby base members to instinctively cover their ears.

"7 minutes 37 seconds."

At the core fortress, Chu An calmly began debugging the equipment.

By recording previous system announcements and reorganizing the simulation, this battle announcement was forged by him.

The system isn't that idle; trivial matters aren't enough for it to issue an announcement.

Unlike Lin An's habit of using up the broadcast permission with a single message, Chu An sneaky kept the broadcast open.

Just like opening a mic in a game.

The broadcast permission allows sending one message before automatically closing.

And Chu An simply kept sending messages continuously.

To the countless survivors outside, the system announcement ended after the battle was announced.

But..

Actually.

If one is attentive enough, they can notice a faint beeping every few seconds in their mind.

That was Chu An continuously sending messages at intervals to prevent the system from automatically cutting off the broadcast permission.

"The Steel City gathering point is 159 kilometers from us."

"I will start the broadcast when you reach their airspace."

"The specific route has been planned; the entire battle is expected to end within 1 hour and 12 minutes."

After hearing this, Lin An calmly nodded, his right hand instinctively moving toward Cain's Blade.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how this weapon performs...

Seeing the channel in an uproar, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Death battle...

He had Chu An forge the battle announcement just to have a legitimate reason to wipe out the nine major forces.

After all...

That was the 'System' telling me to kill...

"Hum—"

Inside the cockpit, mechanical synthesized commands sounded one after another:

"Idle already running.."

"Throttle valve opened, steady propulsion, current progress 80.. 82.. 90.."

"Pitch angle 6 degrees, engine preheat ready.."

"Begin accelerating.. current speed 270.. 300.. 320.."

"Sss—whoosh!"

A violent tearing sound rang out, blue-purple flames spewed.

Amid the astonished gazes of everyone, a deafening sonic boom suddenly rang out.

Straight into the clouds.
