Chapter 713: Undercurrents Surge

Lin An, I am Chen Yangtian, commander of this trial from the Huaxia War Zone. Please get in touch with us as soon as possible.

No matter whether we have any unpleasantness or ideological differences between us, the capital will never abandon any survivor from the Huaxia War Zone.

This trial is extremely difficult; please be sure to stay in contact with us!

Our coordinates:....

The wording was sincere, and they also sent the message to Xiong Hanzi.

They had an attitude that they must get in touch no matter what.

After reading it, Lin An felt no turbulence in his heart; he just felt something was off.

It wasn't the wording that was problematic, nor the attitude.

Quite the opposite, Lin An believed that if the Capital War Zone truly wanted to unite with him, even saying they would 'take care' of him, they would indeed say something like this.

In times of crisis, the capital side is not so foolish as to still target him.

In fact, after entering the Trial Tower.

If it weren't for the spiritual body unintentionally guiding the military, the military would not have even considered targeting him.

Even before Lin An entered, they had harshly 'humiliated' them.

The military side actually didn't have much of a reaction.

"Lin Dui?"

"What do you mean?"

Standing beside Lin An, Xiong Hanzi watched the sky as the red moon gradually revealed its full shape, feeling utterly oppressed.

Although it was a bit strange, he actually didn't mind cooperating with the capital once.

He was just afraid that...

But instead, the other side ended up being implicated by them.

The difficulty he and Lin An would face was likely beyond anyone's imagination.

"No need to pay attention."

Lin An replied in a low voice, then turned off the private chat.

"If we are to make contact, it should be Zhang Yong and his team."

"We are openly cooperating with the neutral faction; I don't believe the military fails to understand its significance."

"If they really want me to meet up, why not send Zhang Yong to represent them?"

Combined with the abnormal fluctuation in the death toll, Lin An pondered for a moment but still chose to ignore the message.

Even though he couldn't confirm which war zone those 33 dead came from.

But this did not prevent Lin An from feeling wary.

"Interesting..."

"They actually didn't reply to the message..."

He lunged forward, delivering a whip kick.

Chen Yangtian muttered to himself, then spun and threw a punch that shattered the shoulder of the Arbiter who had not taken the initiative to attack him.

He grabbed with his right hand toward the triangular helmet, ignoring its sharp edges.

He exerted force with his palm, actually piercing the hard armor and crushing the triangular monster's brain alive.

The disparity in size brought a powerful visual impact.

"Could it be that he's dead?"

"Or is he just too arrogant?"

Having settled the battle in two seconds, Chen Yangtian stood lazily in place and gave a cold chuckle.

Pest...

You'd better pray I don't run into you.

He put Lin An's matter out of his mind and simply opened the channel for the scattered Zhang Yong team.

These people had not participated in hunting Awakened Ones, and during their escape they were hardly bothered by monsters.

It seemed many of them had survived.

Besides that, he also got in touch with several high-level officials from other war zones.

He licked his lips.

His protruding tongue resembled a snake's fork.

"I am the commander of the Huaxia War Zone; Awakened Ones from other war zones, please rally to our side..."

"We have Awakened Ones who accidentally unlocked the gene lock..."

"In times of difficulty, humanity should unite!"

After a moment, Chen Yangtian looked with satisfaction at the messages from the various major war zones, which seemed like lifelines to them, and gave a low laugh.

He hadn't expected that by coming along this time, he would still have a chance to plant some seeds.

Thanks to the sudden increase in difficulty, otherwise he really would have had no excuse to let Chen Yangtian absorb his peers.

For a moment, if viewed from high above.

Within the small town, labyrinthine as it was, the surviving Awakened Ones converged one after another toward the location of the Huaxia Military Region.

Undercurrents surged.

Orphanage.

Zhang Yong led twelve Awakened Ones, their faces filled with uncertain astonishment, standing inside the orphanage.

Having scattered and fled all the way, while wanting to uncover the trial's secrets, he decisively headed toward the orphanage.

He hadn't expected to unexpectedly run into Fiona and the others here.

"Mr. Zhang, how's the situation over there?"

Thanks to the increase in inner world progress, almost all monsters went to hunt the marked Awakened Ones, so few monsters came after them.

Forcing out a smile, Fiona gripped an iron hammer in her hand, her right hand bound to a shield, and stepped closer a bit.

"Nothing..."

Zhang Yong gave the girl a rather emotional glance, not expecting that she had already gathered the data.

While everyone was busy hunting Awakened Ones, he could hardly imagine anyone not wanting to join in.

Looking at the message from Chen Yangtian in the private chat channel, a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.

General Chen, clearly being chased by a large horde of monsters.

He personally saw how brutal the battle was during the charge.

How long has it been since then?

The message actually told him that the monsters had been dealt with, and they even had spare strength to rescue other battle zones?

The number of people who escaped was about 33?

If I remember correctly, the jumping death toll just now was also 33.

Having participated in the second Long'an Project, his mind had been tempered.

At almost any time, he would subconsciously pay attention to any source of information.

If it weren't for the second project's exercise, where the hypothetical enemy was zombies and mutants rather than the current situation.

His performance was not to the point of being at a loss.

The second Long'an experiment was still somewhat conservative...

Although it ensured participants' minds would not collapse, and would not cause a malignant incident like Lin An's.

But likewise, the participants' abilities could not compare to those of the first project's test subjects.

After suppressing his chaotic thoughts, he couldn't help but ponder where the problem lay.

33...

Is it a coincidence?

Should we go meet up?

In his hesitation, he couldn't help but open Lin An's private chat.

If...

Or else, not replying to the message, he could only bring people over himself.

After all, according to the information Fiona had, if the inner world's progress increased another level, it would likely be their doom.

Moreover.

Looking up at the red moon in the sky, all the survivors could feel it.

Something is about to emerge.

"Mr. Zhang, your battle zone seems to have found a way to temporarily unlock the gene lock!?"

While waiting, Fiona looked at the private message from Chen Yangtian with a shocked expression.

After a simple inquiry, almost everyone who had survived received it.

For a moment, her originally somewhat despairing mood instantly became lively.

If that's really the case..

"What?"

Zhang Yong glanced at her in astonishment, only to discover that the message General Chen had sent him was actually different from the one sent to others.

Impossible!

The Huaxia Military Region absolutely does not possess this information; otherwise they wouldn't be thinking of hunting Awakened Ones!

But, seeing the hope ignited in Fiona and the others' eyes, he actually didn't know whether to speak up.

The next second.

Having held no hope, Lin An's message suddenly lit up.

"If you want to come over, then come over."

"At your own risk."

The message was brief, matching the rumored style of Lin An.
