Chapter 501: Reconnected

On the control console.

Mmm—

In a daze, Xiong Hanzi's huge eyes first closed, then slowly opened.

Through the gap of his opened eyes, Lin An could clearly see the shock and confusion in Xiong Hanzi's eyes.

Holy shit...

The voice boomed, and the silver-white giant bear, still in its transformed state, exclaimed in confusion.

Looking at Lin An in his dual form, a strong unease suddenly flashed in his eyes.

The next second, those huge eyes seemed to think of something, then turned to grief and indignation.

Lin Dui!!

How the hell did you die too!!

Boom!

He suddenly sat up, the newly revived giant bear sat up with a boom, his voice trembling with tears.

After seeing the familiar few, he stood there stunned.

Then, with a wail, he couldn't help but his eye sockets reddened.

Grief and anger nearly overwhelmed him.

Lin Dui!!

Gao Tian!? Wen Ya? Jing Tian!?

One name after another burst out, and when he saw Chu An, Xiong Hanzi felt even more dizzy.

We're done!!

I, damn it, didn't I die?

How can I still see everyone?

Especially seeing Lin An's black-and-white intertwined form, he looked almost exactly like a half-human, half-"monster".

Damn it! How did you all die!!

Then Old Zhang didn't die in vain!

He staggered to his feet, eyes bloodshot, and grabbed Lin An:

Lin Dui! How... did you turn into this ghostly appearance...

Seeing Xiong Hanzi somewhat losing control of his emotions, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter,

Wen Ya glanced at Lin An and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Lin An sighed helplessly.

Gao Tian beside him struggled to keep a straight face, then gave a light cough twice in a teasing manner:

No way.

We couldn't hold the base, and the big guys all went to hell together.

Look, Lin Dui has become a hell emissary...

Feigning a sigh.

It's just a shame that even after going to hell we still have to fight zombies—how miserable is that..

But look at Lin Dui like this—handsome or not!?

Handsome my grandmother's leg!

Laozi go die! I want you all to live!

Xiong Hanzi's eyes were bloodshot, he almost couldn't hold back his tears.

As if he had thought of something.

Zhang Tie wiped away a tear and plopped down on the ground.

After a moment, he stared blankly at Lin An:

Forget it, even though we're all dead, as long as we're together it's fine.

Um, Lin Dui, what about Youwei...

Click

The alloy door opened.

Mo Ling's voice suddenly sounded:

We've gone to heaven.

Now this is nice.

The already grief-stricken Xiong Hanzi, on hearing this, almost fainted.

Alright, stop scaring him.

Lin An smiled, grabbed Zhang Tie and pulled him up, looking at him seriously:

Welcome back, brother.

Hearing that, he was stunned.

Xiong Hanzi stared blankly at Lin An, and a system prompt instantly sounded in his ear:

Would you like to join the Rescue Team?

At the basement door, the hastily returning Mo Ling made way for Youwei behind her, then pursed her lips.

Upon hearing that Zhang Tie was to be revived, she simply used Infant Ghost Transfer to send herself back.

By the way, she also brought Youwei along.

The others standing nearby also wiped the smiles from their faces, looking at him seriously.

Welcome back.

We won.

It was Lin Dui who revived you.

After regaining consciousness, Xiong Hanzi's body shuddered violently, his lips trembling.

Looking at the pear blossoms wet with rain, he ran straight toward his Youwei; Zhang Tie seemed to understand something.

I... I came back to life...

Looking at the crowd's expectant and emotional gazes, he couldn't help wiping away a tear, then broke into a smile.

His smile was ugly, yet extraordinarily kind.

Beep, the rescuer team member has reconnected.

Player Zhang Tie, joining the team...

Inside the core fortress meeting room.

Lin An, AnXia, An Jing Tian, Zhang Tie, Wen Ya, Gao Tian, Chu An, and Mo Ling — eight people — sat facing each other.

Lin An looked at Gao Tian's swollen eye sockets, somewhat amused, and shook his head slightly.

After Zhang Tie's revival, the regaining-consciousness Xiong Hanzi realized that Gao Tian had played a trick on him.

Angered, he chased Gao Tian for a full ten laps around the base.

Chickens flying, dogs jumping.

In the end, Gao Tian only avoided a beating by paying the price of ten cans of yellow peaches.

Lin Dui!

Carefree and cheerful, Xiong Hanzi happily pulled out a can, beaming with joy.

When are we going to absorb the Wangjiang Military Region?

I damn well still want to become a big official, huh!

After hearing what had happened, Xiong Hanzi couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

I never expected so much to have happened in this period; him not being there is truly a pity.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin An slowly spoke:

Once we finish negotiating with the Capital Military Region, we will immediately annex the Wangjiang Military Region.

No surprises.

According to Colonel Chu's news, this afternoon... the Capital's affairs can be settled.

If the plan goes smoothly, the Wangjiang Military Region will be in our pocket.

Having said that, Lin An looked at Zhang Tie:

How is it? Any changes to your talent after revival?

In the simulation, after Zhang Tie fused with the Indestructible Asura, his talent traits should have changed.

Moreover, he at least inherited the Indestructible Asura's trait of growing stronger when attacked.

As soon as the words fell, everyone unconsciously looked at Xiong Hanzi, eyes full of expectation.

Zhang Tie blinked slightly, rubbed his head, and glanced at his information panel:

It seems there is a change, but I damn well can't understand it...

But I feel it looks... damn impressive...

After a quick glance, Xiong Hanzi simply made his personal information public:

Special Talent 【Indestructible】

Talent bonus: All attributes +5, regeneration speed increased 100%.

Trait 1: 【Surpassing Death】 — after taking a lethal strike, rapidly restore all HP and become immune to death for three seconds.

Trait 2: 【Bear Spirit Form】 — transform into a giant bear spirit, immune to 30% of all attribute damage, and after receiving damage of the same type, further reduce the damage.

Trait 3: 【Energy Absorption】 — when attacked, can absorb force and convert it into permanent attribute points.

Trait 4: 【Hell Mountain Range】 — charge a strike, slam the ground, causing large-area AOE damage, and applying relaxation, slowdown, and dizziness effects.

After carefully examining Xiong Hanzi's talent, even Chu An fell into a brief silence.

Holy shit...

Four traits — who can beat this?!

After reading it, Gao Tian couldn't help but curse, enviously glancing at Zhang Tie.

In an instant, he even thought about suicide and rebirth.

This talent is just too abnormal.

On the main seat, after Lin An regained consciousness, his eyes were full of astonishment.

He also hadn't expected that Zhang Tie's fusion with the Indestructible Asura would work so well.

Special Talent...

Truly unheard of.
