Chapter 506

He stood in place, Nie Ping's mouth corner revealed a bitter smile.

Lihao's words, he could not refute anything.

Now, that is indeed the case.

That's correct.

If the capital falls, it will be a devastating blow to the entire Huaxia theater.

Not to mention the total collapse of order, humanity will each fight on their own.

Just the crisis of the capital holding out is not something any unorganized survivors can resist.

Just that.

He thought of that man, Chu An.

As for Chu An, he knows little about him, but he is very clear about the rumors surrounding this person within the entire Huaxia High Command.

Absolute rationality and composure.

If Chu An had not taken the initiative to contact him, he would not have cooperated with the operation.

After all, no matter what, he is still a high-level official of the Huaxia Military.

Chu An, did he make a mistake...

Didn't he even think of this?

He struggled and hesitated.

He let out a long sigh.

Lihao's position is not wrong, the capital is not wrong, but he feels that Lin An is actually not wrong either.

Both sides distrust each other, each believing they are the one who is right.

As for this, Nie Ping is no three-year-old child; he can easily see where the problem lies.

Indeed, just as Lihao said.

Lin An's existence will affect the stability of the greater good, causing the capital to lose prestige; seriously speaking, it could even threaten the entire greater good, making it impossible to continue.

After all, who would willingly sacrifice themselves for the capital? Isn't it better to develop on one's own?

You press me with the greater good, but I also want to survive.

Besides, there is actually another most important reason.

Lin An's performance in the Death Test is not as simple as slaughtering a city.

Under Test No. 9327, the experiment simulated:

Lin An realized that he had been trapped in a death simulation all along, enduring countless painful cycles.

This was done to test how Lin An would react to the military after discovering the truth.

Whether to obey orders or suffer a mental breakdown.

But.

The simulation's situation was extraordinarily brutal.

"After breaking free," all experimental staff died, and Lin An, who could be called the strongest test subject, fought his way up to the high level, attempting to destroy the entire regime.

Finally, the test was terminated.

Lin An also had his memory wiped again and was thrown back into the Death Test.

But after this, Lin An's performance was judged by the high level as a huge threat, leading to subsequent direct disposal as "Scrap".

But why he was not directly destroyed, and even allowed to retire, remains unknown.

Perhaps... there is still some secrecy?

He always felt that things among the high level are not that simple.

So...

If Lin An can do it once, he can do it a second time.

Everyone who knows the inside information has no doubt that once Lin An regains his memory, they will surely suffer his retaliation.

For those who did not participate in the project, perhaps Lin An will not kill them.

But for those who participated at the time, and even the decision makers, Lin An is to them a blade that could strike at any moment.

The stronger Lin An becomes, the more they fear him.

As for this, Nie Ping also cannot say anything.

After all, the Long'an Project's experimental process was truly too cruel.

If it were Lin An in his place, he would probably take the same action.

Therefore, once the capital side realizes that Lin An is highly likely to truly recover all his memory, they will not let him live no matter what.

Did the talks break down...

Nie Ping gave a bitter smile and had no choice but to turn away helplessly.

"Chu An... Chu An, what on earth are you thinking..."

Regarding Chu An's request for him to delay part of the time, or simply to detonate the meme, he really could not think of why to do that.

It's meaningless.

Unless Lin An now controls weapons of mass destruction that can directly threaten the capital.

Otherwise, this bunch of people will not let Lin An go no matter what.

Or, Lin An could leap straight to Fourth Rank? Ignoring nuclear strikes?

As for why Chu An would break away from the capital, and even inexplicably run to lead Lin An in launching the Fire Seed Project.

In Nie Ping's mind, he actually has a rough guess.

It's probably...

Want to escape this complicated faction vortex.

Working in the capital, working under official orders, it's exhausting....

As someone who has participated in frontline combat, he knows very well how much filth there is here.

Even in the apocalypse, the phenomenon of privilege and nepotism still exists.

Material Priority Supply goes to some Privileged Class Relatives, and even wastes large amounts of Manpower and Material Resources to guarantee their safety.

Equipment and Props, sometimes even fail to reach Frontline Soldiers, instead ending up in the hands of rear‑area 'Mistresses' who aren't even Awakened Ones.

Dragging each other down, saying one thing and doing another, attacking each other.

Even facing the apocalypse, many people still retain pre‑apocalypse habits, engaging in Power Struggle for Profit.

Sometimes, the disgusting aspects of human nature, and the ways of those bureaucrats, make him wish he could just take people out.

Chu An wants to implement the Fire Seed Project; could it be that he thinks?

If this continues, is there any hope at all?

Better to start from scratch, just as the name Fire Seed Project implies.

Destruction before construction, solely to preserve a thread of hope.

He shook his head.

Nie Ping had his hands behind his back, preparing to return to the ground.

"I've done everything I can..."

"Chu An, you can't possibly expect an old man like me to help you wipe out all these people, can you..."

Mixed feelings.

Lin An and Chu An feel they are not wrong; he also feels he is not wrong.

The capital and Lihao feel they are not wrong, and he likewise feels he is not wrong.

Caught between the two sides, he also feels uncomfortable.

Damn!

Even Laozi would be better off learning from Xiahua and ignoring everything!

Rarely cursing under his breath, Nie Ping couldn't help but recall the guard he had sent to participate in the new round of the Long'an Project.

Everyone has their own thoughts, feeling they are in the right.

Even he is the same.

He has also laid a backhand, hoping it will be useful.

Inside the Capital Meeting Room.

Luofeng looked at the newly issued order with a cheerful expression, his eyes full of madness.

"Good!"

"That's how it should be!"

"You damned stinking rat! Where do you think you can run this time!"

"Reputation destroyed! Lin An, you can consider your death glorious!"

Black and white.

An urgently reprinted Superior Document has been issued.

【Notify all major Military Regions: fully encircle and suppress Long'an Base.】

【When necessary, launch a Tactical Nuclear Strike; be sure to kill Lin An on the spot!】

【Also, notify all Supporting Forces: declare Lin An guilty of Treason, and expressly forbid any force or individual from defecting to him.】

His heart pounded with excitement.

After seeing Lin An display his strength, his heart could not help but rise with intense apprehension.

Fortunately, the upper level was sufficiently decisive; after handling the matter, they immediately issued the order.

Lin An's strength has already posed a huge threat to them.

After repeated combat simulations, once this person infiltrates the Military Region, he could single‑handedly destroy the entire Military Region!

Thinking of his family, his younger brothers who died because of Lin An, he feels an urge to devour his flesh and blood!

Even regarding Lin An's displayed strength, a deep jealousy wells up in his heart.

If it weren't for the capital being surrounded by Zombies, hunting Mutants would be too difficult!

Given my talent, how could I possibly not measure up to Lin An!

Looking at the chat channel's extravagant praise of Lin An, even many people regard him as hope...

"A bunch of idiots! They have no idea who is actually protecting them!"

"Lin An is only formidable because of the gap in level and equipment! If you have the ability, take on our legion!"

Without hesitation.

After the meeting was quickly convened, the forces controlled by the major Military Regions prepared simultaneously to release the news that Lin An had been labeled a traitor.

"Ha, they still dare to show up and recruit survivors!"

"Everyone from Long'an Base deserves to die!"

Seeing many members of Long'an Base posting information and promoting the base's situation, he couldn't help but sneer:

"I'd like to see just how desperate you'll be after the news is out..."

Long'an Base.

Chu An sat calmly in the meeting room, glancing at the clock hanging on the wall:

"Almost time..."

He bowed his head to take inventory of the equipment.

Lin An heard the voice, lifted his head, and casually asked:

What's almost done?

The capital is going to step in and 'sanction' us?

In a good mood, picking and choosing, he actually found quite a bit of Equipment that could be swapped out.

Why not just intimidate them directly? Send over the Meme+Broadcast Permit, and this matter would be resolved.

I don't believe they'd still dare to say anything else.

I don't know why Chu An would go to such lengths, insisting on releasing information in the capital before striking back.

Chu An, sitting aside organizing Props, smiled and lightly pushed his Glasses Frame:

Nothing... I just prefer it.

I like it when others take back what they've said...

Doing this leaves a deeper impression on them...

After all, their faces hurt...

Only then will they realize they were mistaken.
