Chapter 508: Profound Significance

They had already made up their minds; no matter what Feng Yi said, they were leaving this place!

Go to Long An—that's where hope lies!

Seeing the crowd unmoved, Feng Yi couldn't help but sneer, too lazy to hide his contempt:

"I understand why you want to go to Long An."

"But think about it—just going there like that, how unsafe the road would be."

"After all, we're in a remote area; there aren't many zombies or mutants nearby."

"On the road to Long An, how many zombies and mutants would we encounter? Aren't you really not worried about dying on the way?"

Half threat, half laying out the situation.

Feng Yi pointed toward the direction of Long An and snorted:

"As far as I know, at least a second‑level mutant is stationed along our route to Long'an Base."

"Don't talk about your bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled—even we would have to detour."

Seeing Feng Yi trying to threaten them, the middle‑aged leader of the survivors clutched his daughter tightly, his expression icy:

"No need for Elder Feng to worry—we naturally have a way to get through!"

"Yeah!"

The crowd spoke up in unison, showing no weakness:

"Long'an Base said! They'll send people to meet us, clear the surrounding zombies, and guarantee that anyone who joins them will be absolutely safe!"

"In case of danger, they'll even personally dispatch an Awakened Ones squad to rescue us!"

"Long'an Base has already planned everything for us! Lord Lin An will always be ready to act—there's no need for you to worry!"

The same threat, past.

After Lin An decided to take in a large number of survivors, Long'an Base naturally had already drafted an emergency contingency plan.

With Mo Ling around, leading away nearby zombies and handling mutants is no problem.

As long as we don't deliberately provoke the zombie tide in the city, the entire Long'an Base area within tens of kilometers can easily establish a safe perimeter.

Otherwise, if those who come to join us die on the road, it would truly become a joke.

Saying that, the middle‑aged man holding his daughter decisively opened the chat channel, trying to make Feng Yi "see clearly" Long'an Base's announcement, so he'd abandon his idea of stopping us.

But the moment he opened the channel, a flood of identical messages flooded the screen.

Everyone stared blankly for a second.

This method of mass‑broadcasting information—how similar it is to the capital's earlier style.

Some unease.

What happened?

Feng Yi stared intently, then hastily opened his own chat channel.

【Capital War Zone: Long'an Base has been deemed a rebel force by our side; its leader Lin An openly declared independence and treason… All major military regions and other forces must unite to suppress it… No faction or private individual may join Long'an Base… We will carry out a nuclear strike on the rebels within 24 hours… Please stay away from the strike zone, survivors…】

The same message was posted over 6,000 times, showing how seriously the capital takes this.

The whole nation was shocked in an instant.

"Still want to join Long An?!"

After reading the full announcement, Feng Yi burst out laughing, his eyes full of cruelty.

"Damn these rebellious wastes—what else can you say?"

"Go ahead!"

Mockery, ridicule.

Feng Yi waved his hand, signaling his men to surround this whole group.

He looked at the ashen‑faced middle‑aged man, licked his lips, and sneered:

"Did you see that?"

"Long'an Base has been labeled treasonous—if you've got the guts, go!"

"Not afraid of being blown to ashes? Then go now!"

"Tsk tsk, treason…"

"I said it before—Lin An's so high‑profile, he's practically begging to die."

Too bored to look at the man's desperate eyes, Feng Yi leisurely turned around, his eyes full of glee.

The news spread well!

You Lin An, no matter how strong, can you beat the government?

One order, and it's not about whether you live or die—it's about whether they let you live or die.

No need to worry that the survivors under you will think of escaping; for a moment, his mood was actually quite good.

Feeling pleased, he couldn't help but consider whether, after Long'an Base's fall, he should pick up some cheap gains.

Standing there dazed, the survivors who had been preparing to head for Long'an Base were struck like a bolt from the blue, unable to believe it.

"Lord Lin An… how could he be a traitor?"

Capital Military Region, Meeting Room.

After most high‑level officials went to the underground city, this meeting was temporarily convened with Lin Zhan and Luofeng as the main persons in charge.

"Public opinion control has been quite good."

"Those who previously praised Lin An and failed to see the situation have gone silent; basically no one dares to speak for him anymore."

Luofeng wore a smile, feeling a sudden sense of relief.

Under the cultural influence of Huaxia, the charge of treason is truly despicable.

Even in the apocalypse, most people have grown accustomed to obeying government orders.

This is something carved into the bone.

At this moment, Long'an Base and Lin An are like rats crossing the street, everyone shouting to beat them.

Especially he also had the surviving Wang Gui Xian of the previous Wang clan slightly alter the announcement.

They forcibly added a clause, requiring all forces to hunt down Long'an Base members.

The aim is to leave Lin An with no chance to turn the tables.

"Public opinion doesn't matter; the key is not to let Lin An escape."

"Notify the nearby military regions to have them use aerospace forces to carry out a tactical nuclear strike."

"There's no need to hold back; directly launch a saturation strike on their location."

"Unless there is an insider blocking the nuclear strike... otherwise, within 24 hours, Long'an Base will be swept into the trash heap of history."

Lin Zhan calmly looked at Gao Wang beneath him; this sentence was meant for him to hear.

"I have already had the Huanjiang Military Region and Ling Shan Military Region deploy troops for reconnaissance, using special props to lock onto Lin An's position."

"Unless he abandons Long'an Base and flees now, otherwise just wait to die together."

"At the edge of the Meeting Room, Gao Wang listened to Lin Zhan's words, merely keeping his head lowered and silent."

"He no longer has any room to delay."

"If he continues to delay, he won't even be able to save his life, and may even be labeled by the capital as a traitor like Lin An."

"A military officer in green uniform couldn't help but speak up after listening:"

"General Lin Zhan."

"Even if we carry out a covering strike, we might not necessarily be able to kill Lin An, right?"

"Once he escapes and goes into hiding..."

"The threat to our military region is too great..."

"This person's strength is too great..."

"Lin Zhan casually turned his head and slightly shook his head:"

"I know."

"But after Lin An loses his power, what can he do alone?"

"In short, we still haven't put Lin An in our eyes."

"One person may be strong, but does he really pose a threat to us?"

"The threat to us is not his strength, but the impact of his actions."

"Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys..."

"Destroying one Long An will naturally make everyone with ulterior motives behave."

"As for Lin An's retaliation..."

"Lin Zhan smiled faintly, his words casual:"

"Even if he luckily survives, he's nothing more than a street rat."

"Moreover... he can't even break into the Capital Military Region, what are you afraid of?"

"The endless corpse tide outside the defenses—if he could fight his way in, I'd actually have to thank him."

"The dead are the outer military regions; the more who die, the more people will hate him and gravitate toward the capital."

"The people will also come to realize our correctness..."

"His words were casual, but the deep meaning behind them sent a chill through everyone's hearts."

"Originally, the High Level..."

"Is that what they think...?"
