Chapter 637: Same Clan

Slowly passed through the checkpoint.

Li Enzhu, sitting in the car, tightly bit her lips, looking at the scene before her with mixed feelings.

The car had air conditioning, and it was warm.

After Zhang Tie slightly showed his strength, they not only didn't need to queue, but also didn't have to hand over their weapons.

Moreover, several soldiers were assigned to clear the way for them.

Amid the envious and jealous gazes of the lining-up survivors, a sense of vanity rose in her heart.

Fortunately... I don't have to be like them.

Is this what privilege is...

I'm basking in Lin An's glory.

Under such a huge disparity in treatment, it made her feel both the sorrow of an ordinary person's plight and a bit of relief.

Many naked survivors, queuing like livestock, when they saw her in the car, the envy in their eyes almost turned substantive.

"Really nice..."

"What kind of people are they..."

Standing in the line, a beautiful-looking girl gazed at Li Enzhu in the car as if in a dream.

Through the car window, their eyes met and brushed past each other.

As if they were two worlds.

In the cold wind, she shivered.

Meanwhile, the other person sat in the warm car.

"So clean..."

"Did they take a bath..."

Watching the few people who were spotless and dressed in fresh attire, she couldn't bring herself to look away for a long time.

After a long time fleeing, she only felt her dirty skin itching.

Her companion beside her sighed upon seeing this, gesturing for her to stop looking.

"They must be powerful Awakened Ones; otherwise the base wouldn't give them such treatment."

Envious as well, feeling bitter.

The girl, hearing the voice, slowly nodded, but her eyes refused to leave the off-road vehicle gradually entering the city.

She even saw the sentinel, who usually acted high and mighty toward them, now smiling and approaching the off-road vehicle to say something.

She couldn't help but look at the driver, Xiong Hanzi, and also noticed Lin An sitting in the back seat, obviously a big shot.

Which one is the powerful Awakened One, or are both of them?

Her eyes were blazing, wishing to firmly remember the other's appearance.

If only I could also catch the eye of such a big shot...

They surely don't lack food...

"Get over here! Accept the inspection! What are you looking at!"

After the sentinel had saluted the off-road vehicle, he suddenly turned his head and loudly scolded her with a displeased expression.

"Do you still want to enter the city!"

"Look carefully! Damn, you're so dirty you can't even be seen clearly!"

On the wall, the searchlight increased its brightness.

The glaring light jerked the girl out of her daydream.

"Welcome, two adults, to our Twin Stars Safe Zone."

"We have already notified the Safe Zone garrison, and prepared comfortable lodging and hot water supply for you."

"Furthermore, we have prepared a welcome banquet for you, and notified several Second Level Awakened Ones to attend together."

"Do you have any other needs?"

Running alongside the off-road vehicle, an administrator who appeared to hold a not-low position flatteringly looked at Lin An inside the car.

He half-bent his waist, so that Lin An inside the car could see him clearly.

Although the other party showed no trace of aura.

But being able to let a Second Level Awakened One drive shows that their strength is terrifyingly strong.

For such a level of Awakened One, he dared not offend them in the slightest.

"Welcome banquet?"

Lin An opened his eyes, expressionlessly glancing at the respectful attendant.

"No thanks, I still have things to do."

Rather than supposedly getting to know the high-level figures here, Lin An was instead more interested in the soldiers patrolling within the Safe Zone.

Anyway, after scouting the situation he would take action; there was no need to play along with these people.

Upon hearing such a reply, the attendant's expression stiffened.

Since Lin An's group entered the first checkpoint, the guard on duty hastily reported the information upward.

At least a team with a Second Level Awakened One entering the Safe Zone is no small matter.

In the entire Twin Stars Safe Zone, there are only 33 Second Level Awakened Ones.

Therefore, after receiving the news, the Safe Zone's high-level officials directly issued an emergency order.

Detain these people and obtain their intelligence.

"The so-called welcome banquet is, first, to give the other side sufficient face, and second, to display the Safe Zone's strength."

"In a low-probability scenario, if the other side harbors any thoughts, it can also deter them somewhat."

You really aren't going to participate?

Although it's a bit rushed, our highest commander will also attend this banquet.

After Mr. Jin Yicheng heard of your coming, he insisted we let you know to attend the banquet.

The attendant looked grim, hoping only that Lin An would give him some face.

Jin Yicheng is the master of their safe zone, and his reputation is huge throughout the Korean War Zone.

His strength is overwhelming, with a record of single-handedly defeating a second-level.

Such a person.

Logically, the Awakened Ones of the Greater Korean War Zone would surely be interested upon hearing this news.

But for some reason, he always felt that Lin An seemed completely indifferent.

What should we do?

The higher-ups have ordered him to try to pry some information out of the other party.

At the banquet, they will also arrange Awakened Ones with special abilities to investigate.

Ignoring the attendant's continual urging, Lin An looked toward the distance and suddenly asked:

Are the patrolling soldiers mechanically modified?

How is their strength?

As shown by the gaze.

They are units of soldiers moving in perfect unison, like robots.

Their limbs have been replaced with mechanical devices, giving off a cold sheen.

Everyone is silent, clutching weapons as they sprint through the city.

Metal striking the ground seems somewhat eerie.

Their steps are rhythmic, full of a technological feel...

The weapon in their arms is a pipe-like device connected to the arm.

Their semi-mechanical bodies make one feel uncomfortable at a glance.

Upon closer observation, Lin An's brows slightly furrowed.

On the transformed soldiers' bodies, the metal structure seems a bit off.

Not pure alloy-cast limbs, but rather like a metal plating on the surface.

Outside the vehicle.

The attendant hesitated upon hearing this, then discovered Lin An had directly ordered the off-road vehicle to stop, as if he were very interested in these mechanical soldiers.

Sir.

They are indeed modified soldiers, you...

You don't know?

He was somewhat suspicious.

In the entire Fushan War Zone, many people know they modify mechanical soldiers.

It's fine if ordinary people don't know the details.

But powerful Awakened Ones usually privately chat in channels, sharing information.

How can this esteemed person before us appear completely unaware?

Doubting, he hesitated a moment then added:

The mechanical soldiers you just saw are the newest batch.

After limb modification, they can obtain around zero-level strength.

Furthermore, after equipping armor, they can resist ordinary zombie attacks.

Their firearms have also been modified, using the latest technology to harness spiritual energy.

In joint operations, a squad can even contend with a first-level mutant.

While speaking, the officer's face showed a hint of pride.

Although unaware why Lin An behaved so strangely, he still chose to explain.

It is precisely by relying on numerous Awakened Ones and transformed soldiers that they successfully established the safe zone.

Even in terms of regular strength, they are slightly stronger than the official base.

After hearing this, Lin An nodded slightly, his heart stirring as he prepared to get out of the vehicle to intercept a batch.

Somewhat interesting.

Limbs plus organ modification...

Internal structure—what exactly is it?

Just.

The next second.

Lin An was about to stop the mechanical soldiers when he suddenly turned his head to look behind.

Shouts of anger came.

Catch him! Don't let him escape!

Not far away, in an alley where makeshift tents were set up in a slum, several soldiers suddenly rushed out, chasing a boy.

On the ground.

The boy crawled incredibly fast, appearing to be a zero-level Awakened One.

Sir? What's wrong?

Watching Lin An's back as he abruptly turned around, the attendant instinctively began to explain:

That must be someone who escaped from the slave camp.

These days, people often try to escape...

Unnoticed, the attendant official failed to see Lin An's face suddenly darken.

He was crawling, not running.

The boy had only one leg; his empty pant leg lay flat on the ground.

His youthful face was filled with fear.

He crawled on the ground using both hands and feet, his expression frantic, continuously shouting for help.

Save... me...!!

Sitting in the car, Xiong Hanzi's face also suddenly darkened, and the steering wheel in his hand instantly crumpled.

The reason was simple.

He could understand the boy's cries for help without needing translation.
