Chapter 643: Crazy

~6 min read 1,147 words

Twin Star Base, War Readiness Center.

Hundreds of uniformed modified soldiers guarded an Awakened One in a white suit.

People came and went, with piercing alarms being passed along from time to time.

Standing beside the monitor footage.

Jin Yicheng's face turned deathly pale.

Covering the entire Safe Zone, a total of 710 monitor feeds, at this point more than half had turned to snow.

That man... just how many base facilities has he destroyed!?

His heartache was dripping blood.

As a leader, he had been a board member of Twin Star Base even before the Apocalypse.

He considered himself elite, with extremely good luck.

Of the 175-member board, only he had become an Awakened One.

Relying on his pre-Apocalypse prestige and post-Apocalypse strength, he successfully became one of the only three Safe Zone Leaders in the Fushan War Zone.

Four months ago.

After obtaining secret cooperation with the military from the old chairman, he vigorously developed modification technology after the Apocalypse.

Finally, moreover, relying on the ideas of a certain 'retired' professor, he successfully 'created' mechanical modification means.

Such rapid technological development practically made him feel like he had obtained a treasure.

Feeling proud and ambitious, he even couldn't be bothered with the Fushan government.

What's a national government worth!?

A puppet regime hiding in civil defense works, and even being played like a monkey.

Regarding this, he had extreme confidence in replacing it.

Twin Star Base, with over 300,000 troops and a population of one million.

In extreme wartime conditions, it could even mobilize nearly a million armed forces.

Adding modification technology, it undoubtedly filled him with ambition for his future.

He originally thought he would surely soar to success, becoming the ruler of the Greater Korea War Zone.

But in just one night, less than two hours.

All his confidence was wiped out completely.

"That monster... where is it now!?"

"What about the air unit we sent out earlier!?"

"What about Li Enshuo and the others!?"

His emotions were somewhat agitated.

Jin Yicheng desperately tried to calm his emotions, repeatedly questioning the soldier in charge of communications.

On the monitor footage, he could only vaguely see Lin An's fleeting figure.

And the only scene where he got a clear view of Lin An's actual combat power was the last image transmitted by the air unit.

A metallic flood 'swallowed' the entire unit.

"Sir!"

The communications soldier frantically checked his private message channel.

The walkie-talkie in his hand kept switching frequencies, trying to locate the soldiers currently facing Lin An.

That monster's speed was too fast, and it kept destroying cameras along the way.

Thus, the entire command center could only contact via the system's private chat function.

The prerequisite was that anyone who saw Lin An had a chance to send a message.

"The Apache Squad has been completely wiped out!"

"The enemy is suspected to be lurking at our munitions depot, at least as of 20 seconds ago!"

He hesitated for a moment.

The messenger communications soldier, fearful, glanced at the furious leader and continued in a low voice:

"Li Enshuo, sir... they seem to have lost contact..."

"Bang!"

Just as the words fell,

In his fury, Jin Yicheng directly slapped and shattered the soldier's skull.

Blood spattered onto his white suit, vivid beyond compare.

The rage was feigned; the fear was real.

Li Enshuo was the second strongest in his Safe Zone.

His strength was Second Level Intermediate.

After undergoing the highest-spec mechanical modification, he not only had extraordinary defensive power, but combined with his talent, he also possessed the ability to fire high-energy rays.

Comparing strength alone, he was not much inferior to him.

What loss of contact?

This clearly means he's dead!

Just thinking that Li Enshuo, whose strength was comparable to his own, had died, a strong sense of mortal danger instantly enveloped his heart.

How exactly did he do it?

How exactly did he do it!?

Jin Yicheng racked his brains but couldn't figure out why an Awakened One could be so strong.

Not only that.

The other side also has one person.

In the message received half an hour ago, the Frontline also mentioned that another Awakened One's strength is also terrifying.

That person is now near the laboratory, and the professor I rely on most, just a minute ago, begged him for help dozens of times!

The laboratory hidden a hundred meters underground is almost being dug through bare-handed by the opponent!

Who cares about the professor's life or death now; he just wants to focus his strength to protect himself.

Sweat pouring down his head.

Jin Yicheng strained to think.

What power do I still have in my hands?

What should I do?

In panic, he gulped down a mouthful of saliva, and directly grabbed a High Level official:

"Call everyone back!"

"Give up the defense line in the direction of Fushan port! Recall all heavy weapons!"

"How many aerial units can still fight!"

"Gather all Awakened Ones and have them come!"

Thoughts in disarray.

The cultured High Level Awakened One, fearful, looked at the leader who once had graceful demeanor and still maintained a superior posture after the Apocalypse.

At this moment, Jin Yicheng seemed like a madman.

"Leader, we can't do this!"

"If we recall all the troops, we'll have no hope of stopping that mutant from landing!"

"Heavy weapons and aerial units are meaningless!"

Barely maintaining rationality, as a psychic-system Awakened One, the High Level official who replied tried to dissuade him.

"The invaders are inside our base; we cannot launch a bombardment inside the base!"

"Never mind whether it works; even if it does, we're doomed afterward!"

After nervously giving his judgment, the Awakened One who replied feared that Jin Yicheng would lose his sanity and attack him.

He took a deep breath and hurriedly replied again:

"Sir, the best means to deal with Awakened Ones is still Awakened Ones!"

"As long as the opponent is still Second Level, there must be a way to solve it!"

"The urgent task is to figure out who the opponent is, what his ability is..."

His words hadn't finished.

Jin Yicheng forcibly suppressed his Impatience, his face ferocious as he cursed:

"Awakened Ones!?"

"How many Awakened Ones have we sent over!?"

"Tell me, is there anyone alive who has sent out a message!?"

"Damn it! A bunch of trash, to this day we still haven't figured out what kind of Awakened One the opponent is!"

"Blast... blast it for me!"

"Even if destroyed, we can still rebuild!"

Seemed to have aged a lot.

Jin Yicheng gasped, leaning on the table, his eyes revealing ruthlessness:

"Contact Fushan Safe Zone, contact the military! Contact the US stationed forces!"

"We need support!"

"Whatever the cost, it's fine!"

After speaking, he subconsciously looked toward the Fushan port direction, clutching his fists tightly.

Don't force me...

Don't force me!
