Chapter 518: with translation of chapter title

East China War Zone, Weihai City.

Special Envoy!

Urgent intelligence!

Inside the residential building of an old suburban community, four players who appeared no different from Huaxia Survivors buried themselves in organizing data.

After hearing the urgent knocking outside the door, they raised their heads in puzzlement.

Kim Jae-seong, go open the door.

The man in the lead, wearing a military green overcoat, wearily gestured for his subordinate to open the door.

Director Park!

Huaxia War Zone, Linjiang War Zone has news: someone obtained Lin An's Equipment!

It is currently being prepared for auction on the trading channel!

Urgent and frantic.

White breath exhaled, after feeling the indoor warmth, the man outside the door sprang forward to Director Park's side and hastily opened the trading channel.

His eyes were full of excitement.

Upon hearing Lin An's name, the man called Director Park hastily rose to look.

【Auction Information】

【I have obtained Equipment once used by Lin An, an Epic Tier (orange) item, now up for bidding auction!】

【Request: prioritize exchange for Spirit Energy Fruit, increase basic attribute Props. Or ancient fantasy system Equipment, special items!】

The language was brief, but the information contained caused the entire trading channel to explode.

In less than half an hour, large numbers of faction players spread the word by mouth, or checked via private chat.

In a short time, almost all players went crazy.

The reason is simple: the Equipment's attributes are too overpowered.

Equipment Name: Annihilation

Equipment Attributes: All Attributes +5, Fire Rate +100%

Equipment Effects: Infinite ammo, charged strike, lethal lock, firepower burst.

The attributes are luxurious to the point of being terrifying, and the attached skills make one feel inferior.

Many Awakened Ones with awakened tech weapons, seeing the Equipment posted on the trading channel, wished they could reach out and grab it.

It's too strong! Does such overpowered Equipment really exist!?

No wonder, no wonder Lin An is so strong. A piece of Equipment that was stolen has attributes exaggerated to this extent... If I had this Equipment, I'd dare to kill a Second Level even as a First Level!

Not necessarily... I look at this Equipment's skills, and they don't seem like something Lin An would have used.

Who knows... maybe this isn't even Lin An's main Equipment? But either way, just thinking about it is terrifying enough!

A large amount of speculation and discussion flooded the entire channel.

Even many players, after repeatedly posting exclamatory messages, were directly muted by the system.

With Lin An's strength as endorsement, this weapon stirred countless people into agitation.

Among them, many also thought of one point.

Lin An has always been judged as a First Level by the system...

Could it be that they were all mistaken before?

Lin An really is a First Level, but it's just that his Equipment is too luxurious, which causes his strength to be so terrifying?

Rather than their previous speculation, Lin An has special means, concealing his true strength.

Before this speculation, many players thought Lin An was actually a Third Level.

Various conspiracy theories and suspicions, but they in no way dampen the fervor in the hearts of the major factions.

Since the trading channel opened, the most they had ever seen was blue Equipment.

The price was sky-high, yet factions still bought it.

Goodness, now a sudden Epic Tier Equipment has appeared—how could they not be excited?

Anyone who buys this Equipment, even a Second Level Awakened One equipping it, could likely single-handedly fight a Second Level Mutant.

After quickly reading the Equipment information, Park Yuandao's eyes were full of astonishment.

This kind of Equipment! How could someone bring it out to sell!?

It's too powerful, to the point that he subconsciously doubts its authenticity.

Just because he hasn't been battered by various scams, he didn't think to doubt the information displayed about the Equipment.

Director Park, didn't the mysterious person selling this Equipment say it was stolen!?

With such Equipment, we must obtain it!

After hearing that, Park Yuandao came to his senses, his face solemn.

Although he always felt something was off, such important news must be sent back to the Blue House.

The situation in his own country is very bad.

As a war zone with foreign troops stationed, the domestic military strength is truly worrying.

The main military strength is controlled by the American War Zone, making it extremely difficult for them to resist Zombies.

Put bluntly, the entire High Level is almost worried about how long until the country falls!

The history of South Korea should not be cut off in our generation's hands!

In a fluster, he hastily contacted his superior and sent out the news.

Looking at the firepower burst and lethal lock in the Equipment description...

He couldn't help but think of the information previously sent to him from within the country.

Urgent need for Awakened Ones with technology-side abilities to counter the mutants occupying the largest air force base.

The whole South Korea has only just built one Safe Zone.

Establishing a second Safe Zone to preserve the spark of hope is imminent.

Without air force power, the whole country is just a loose sand, each fighting on their own.

The message is passed along layer by layer.

Like an emergency confidentiality.

「What!? Someone in the Huaxia war zone is selling tech-side weapons!? Report to the infiltration squad commander! 」

Inside the embassy, an official in formal attire from the secretly excavated underground complex, shocked, relayed the message.

The combat team hidden in the mountains, bringing Awakened Ones to infiltrate, after receiving the information, immediately turned back and returned to the Korean war zone.

「Go back! Bring the intelligence back! 」

At the Korean military base, the general commanding soldiers in battle, after receiving a private message, was so shocked he forgot to command, took a deep breath, and directly reported the information to Cheong Wa Dae.

Forty-three minutes later, in the Korean war zone, the highest political institution, Cheong Wa Dae.

Inside the presidential office, hailed as the last political hope, South Korean President Lee En-ji, after looking at the transmitted information, was mentally shaken.

「Summon all High Level, call an emergency meeting! 」

After hastily issuing the order, he lightly suppressed his shock and asked his subordinate Awakened Ones:

「Can this Equipment help us retake the air force base? 」

Looking at the president's agitated and uneasy expression, the Second Level Awakened Ones asked, hurriedly scanning the Equipment information.

Almost without hesitation, he nodded repeatedly.

「Sir! Absolutely possible! 」

「Firepower burst, just right for countering the large number of Mutants occupying the air force base. 」

「Spirit energy bullets, we also don't have to worry about warplanes being destroyed! 」

「Lethal lock-on, also no need to worry about causing collateral damage! 」

「This is practically tailor-made for us! 」

After receiving affirmation from his subordinates, Lee En-ji dazedly looked toward the location of the air force base.

As the most important military facility point in his war zone, he dreamed of retaking it.

After the Apocalypse broke out, he repeatedly begged the American stationed troops for help retaking the air force base, but was met with mockery and refusal from them.

Even regular rescue Survivors, they didn't care at all.

It seemed as if they were merely watching their military strength gradually weaken.

Before the Apocalypse, the so-called 'protection fee' costing over trillions of Korean won, the alleged joint protection ordinance, was basically a joke.

「Better to rely on oneself than to ask others! 」

「Pass my order, block that information! 」

「Don't let those stationed troops know this information. 」

「This Equipment, no matter what, we must obtain it! 」
