Chapter 490

Above the high sky, fighter jets darted through the clouds like white shadows.

Lin An controlled the fighter jet with a calm expression, and Chu An's message came through his ear.

"Lin An, the third target—people at the Wanhe Palace gathering place have gone into hiding."

"No need to waste missiles; they've split into 15 groups of personnel, distributed throughout the industrial park."

"I pulled up their video feed in reverse through the broadcast authorization."

"Their tactical deployment is decent; there's a certain probability they could threaten you."

"What are you planning to do?"

In his field of view, the personnel distribution map provided by Chu An was projected onto his retina.

I don't know how Colonel Chu managed it.

He turned a single broadcast authorization into something fancy.

Although the authorization was only for broadcasting voice and text, he not only turned it into a video relay but could also capture whatever the other side saw.

In Colonel Chu's words.

(Since communication is two-way, if I can let him see the screen, naturally he can let me see it too.)

I also don't know how he did it.

If Chu An hadn't said the broadcast authorization couldn't stay open too long, Lin An would have kept him hogging it, preferably until the apocalypse ended...

With the whole map "lit up," it's even better than a spy satellite.

Every move of the enemy is right under his nose.

"I plan to use the Undead Army; it'll finally be useful."

"Before... there was never much chance to use it."

Lin An glanced at the second skill of the Death God Crystal, feeling somewhat moved.

Consumes human resentment to summon undead.

Since obtaining the Death God Crystal, this skill has never had a suitable opportunity.

"Undead Army: Consumes soul points to summon insubstantial undead, enhancing their strength or number according to the points spent."

"For every 13 soul points, summon one First Level undead; for every 130 points, one Second Level; for every 1300 points, one Third Level... (Undead last 30 seconds and can actively attack enemies.)"

"Undead traits: immune to physical attacks, reduce elemental damage by 70%, and possess skills: ignore terrain, fly, mental intimidation, curse, will weakening."

It consumes a lot and is useless against monsters, so he's almost forgotten this skill.

After all, not every human death generates resentment.

Usually only when an Awakened One dies is there a 50% chance to absorb a point.

Before he hadn't killed many Awakened Ones, but now it's different...

As of now, the number of Awakened Ones he's killed exceeds nearly a thousand, and the soul points collected are around 600.

That works out to roughly 49 First Level undead, or 4 Second Level.

Hmm, I'm a bit eager.

Having witnessed the power of supernatural incidents, Lin An has no doubt about the terror of undead bodies.

Hiding?

Heh, who knows if you've ever seen a ghost walk through walls.

It's just a pity that when the summoned undead kill a unit, they cannot siphon resentment.

Otherwise, he could easily create a perpetual loop.

By his own power, create an endless undead army...

But thinking about it, if he could really do that... then he should swap identities with Mo Ling.

With that thought, the fighter jet roared and accelerated.

"Commander, Lin An is about to reach the airspace above Wanhe Palace."

Before the sand table, at the Huanjiang Military Region Command, all senior officers uniformly compared Lin An's route.

Even though the Huanjiang Military Region was still fending off surrounding zombies, with small-scale battles constantly erupting, it didn't affect them from focusing all their attention on this deathmatch battle.

"This person's route has a problem..."

Looking at the flight route marked on the sand table, the Huanjiang Military Region commander stroked his chin and spoke slowly:

"The route is almost the optimal solution, forming a loop."

"Does this indicate that Lin An already knew which forces would participate before the system released the deathmatch information?"

A vague unease.

Combining Lin An's solo participation and the system announcement, he always felt everything seemed prearranged.

"Commander... do you mean Lin An 'let' the system... release the deathmatch!?"

The technician beside him blurted out, eyes full of astonishment.

Lin An's strength far surpasses everyone's, and his various performances also reveal a strange quality.

Looking back, it really feels like he's the system's "favored son."

In the silence, the commander frowned and shook his head, still giving up that speculation.

"I'm just guessing that way, but... it probably isn't possible."

"That's the Doomsday System; how could it possibly favor an individual."

"You can't have it that whatever Lin An wants, the system just gives it, right?"

"If that's really the case, as soon as Lin An speaks up, our Huaxia land will immediately honor him as leader and end this apocalypse."

Self-mockingly laughing, the commander quickly dismissed that speculation.

After a moment's thought:

But Lin An absolutely had premeditation beforehand; it's just that we don't know how he did it.

Looking at his flight path, it's no surprise that the modern safe zone will be his final target.

From weak to strong... kill them one by one...?

The officer beside him followed along, thinking, constantly comparing Lin An's route.

Commander, why did Lin An do this?

According to normal strategy, tactically speaking.

Prioritizing confrontation with the strongest modern safe zone would be the optimal solution.

He does this, and with the system broadcasting the whole process, doesn't that give the modern safe zone ample preparation time?

No matter how strong Lin An is, when facing the previous few safe zones, he'll inevitably reveal his trump cards and exhaust his strength, right?

Not only is it his doubt, but everyone present shares the same doubt.

Since the death battle announcement was opened, anyone with a bit of sense has smelled a whiff of conspiracy.

Two possibilities.

As the staff officer of the Ring River Military Region, he slowly spoke:

The first possibility: Lin An is conveying a piece of information, or a threat, to the outside.

From killing weak gathering grounds to strong safe zones, this amounts to declaring to everyone.

Lin An, no matter what enemy he faces, what opponent he faces, always has a way to resolve it.

Thus... using personal martial power to deter any level of force.

Whether you are a small gathering or a large safe zone, before him the outcome is the same.

This can be seen from that declaration he issued: opponents die...

This person's ambition is enormous!

If he really manages this, from now on who would dare to oppose him?

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their heads to look.

But the staff officer.

I admit Lin An is strong, but an individual remains an individual.

To be frank, the nine forces in the death battle, compared to a truly strong military region, are just about that.

Even if his personal performance is stronger, we still aren't afraid of him.

At this stage, whether his strength can match those few strongest in the capital is unknown; even if it could, he couldn't oppose an awakened ones corps of over ten thousand, plus modern firepower blockades.

I think, if Long'an Base were strong, it would actually be truly formidable.

Seeing someone disagree with his view, the staff officer who is a spiritual power awakened one shook his head:

You're mistaken.

Now it's no longer before the apocalypse.

Only individual strength truly possesses deterrence.

If Lin An were our enemy, hidden in the shadows, the threat would absolutely be higher than a third-rank mutant...

If he's truly driven to desperation, he'll abandon Long'an Base.

A 'assassin' hidden in the shadows is far more terrifying than an open enemy...
