Chapter 953: Apocalypse Prototype

It was rare that the numbered 88721 first saw the higher existence behind the door in such a disheveled state.

Even when the relocation plan was announced, these beings behind the door never showed any extra emotional fluctuation.

For a moment, the soldier in uniform also had to lower his head, fearing that the other party would take out his anger on him.

After a few seconds, the blurry giant face composed of mist stopped shifting, and then protruded slightly from the wall with some indifference.

Send over all the information you know!

The voice contained repressed killing intent and a faint doubt.

Although there was no fourth-rank existence in the operation to hunt down Lin An, even with that squad's strength, logically it should have been enough to complete the mission and instantly kill Lin An.

Three mid-level third-rank, one senior, plus the tracker Chen Yangtian!

Such a lineup is enough to sweep all the major safe zones!

To be safe, he even specially provided a fourth-rank prop.

Given the great importance placed on it, this operation could be said to have been launched at great cost.

Not to mention third rank; in a situation of scheming vs. unsuspecting, even a lifeform just entering fourth rank would be severely wounded on the spot, let alone any third rank, which would be certain death!

A full-force strike imbued with a fourth-rank psychic attack, when launched suddenly, leaves extremely few able to react.

He simply could not imagine how Lin An managed to survive under such circumstances.

The misty face stared at the human before the wall.

After a few seconds, the soldier in uniform did not dare hesitate, respectfully transmitting the known information back to those behind the door, then stood aside sideways.

Having received the information, he closed his eyes to examine it.

After a brief emotional fluctuation, the giant face slowly opened its eyes; beneath a seemingly calm expression lay immense anger.

Although the information was messy and extensive, for him it could be read and completed in an instant.

In less than a second, he finished viewing all the information.

Personnel were dispatched outside Heiyu, and also dispatched at Long'an...

Mengya, you have great gall!!

This bunch of trash... truly not worth pitying!!

His tone was low and deep, he laughed bitterly from extreme anger.

Obviously, the Mengya mentioned by the misty face was the name of the deceased silver-haired man.

Although the information did not clearly explain how this hunting squad was arranged.

But just from the war zone channel, the gathered information allows one to infer where the squad led by Mengya went.

Long'an Base came under attack, and the turmoil ended six hours later.

Yingshan Safe Zone came under attack, and the turmoil ended four hours later.

Even aside from splitting forces, the three-person squad in which Mengya was, after entering Heiyu, never came out.

Thinking of how Mengya did not hesitate to waste precious props, and his tone of confidence when sending back news from Heiyu for himself, the misty face felt somewhat ironic.

Before setting out, he repeatedly emphasized prioritizing the killing of Lin An, but he did not expect that this bunch of trash would still act on their own and change his arrangements.

Looking at the misty face with violently fluctuating emotions, the numbered 88721 felt some palpitations and dared not raise his head.

In his hesitation, he softly spoke up and asked:

Sir, what should we do now?

The hunting squad died too suspiciously; I suspect there is a problem.

Could it be that Lin An hides other beings behind him? For example, some of the catastrophe species?

While speaking, he carefully raised his head to observe the giant face's expression:

Lin An's strength is increasing too fast; we already thought long ago that he was full of doubts...

How could a normal human Awakened One be this abnormal?

From the heart.

In their private analysis, it was generally believed that Lin An absolutely could not have his current strength by himself alone.

Even if Lin An had participated in the Long'an Project and possessed comprehensive qualities far beyond ordinary people.

But know that within the Capital Military Region there are also some experimental subjects hidden.

These experimental subjects, under comprehensive evaluation, are not much inferior to Lin An's former self, yet in terms of strength, none can reach this level.

Hearing the carrier's question, the existence behind the door fell silent for a moment, then gave a hesitant denial.

Impossible.

Although the course of the apocalypse has been altered, it is still within our calculations.

Before the catastrophe is fully opened, it is impossible for any lifeform to descend upon this world.

Any conscious being crossing the world barrier will have its consciousness erased by the system; in this situation, no one dares to risk 'death' and forcibly enter the Apocalypse Prototype.

As for the anomaly... Lin An not dying might be related to Heiyu...

That bunch of trash led by Mengya is overconfident.

Listening to the explanation of the higher existence behind the door, the soldier in uniform flashed a hint of something unusual in his eyes.

Apocalypse Prototype? Descent? Total catastrophe?

In these few brief sentences lies a large amount of hidden information.

However, he also dared not ask further.

Then, sir, should we continue sending people to hunt down Lin An?

He is still outside, and even actively exposing his whereabouts. I guess he probably doesn't know who attacked him.

Take this opportunity, should we continue to add manpower, lest he realize there is still danger and directly hide?

Hearing the carrier's question, the giant face gave him a somewhat mocking look:

How to deploy? Who to send?

Lin An has already reached intermediate; do you think we should send a group of high-level ones over, or a fourth-stage?

Unlike intermediate alien species, only a second-level Awakened One is needed to serve as a host for possession. High-level alien species require at least a third-level primary Awakened One as a host. What do you think the military's reaction would be if they discovered a few more missing third-stage individuals?

Handling the previous missing persons incidents is already troublesome enough.

Which of these third-stage individuals isn't an important figure in the various combat departments?

While speaking, the giant face glanced at the man before him, a hint of mockery appearing on his face:

The plan is about to begin; we cannot continue wasting our strength at this moment. Without absolute overwhelming force, every alien species we send out could possibly strengthen Lin An's power!

Of course, if you're not afraid of sacrifice, I can send you instead.

It just depends on whether you're willing or not.

As his words fell, the military-clad man's face turned deathly pale.

He is a rare case of someone who, upon discovering the appearance of alien species, actively defected to their side.

As someone who belongs neither to the possessors nor to the pure alien species, his status between humans and monsters is extremely awkward.

I-I'll go... it doesn't really matter.

You think too highly of me, sir.

Stammering, beads of cold sweat appeared on the military man's forehead, and he replied in a low voice with a somewhat appeasing expression.

Deserters exist everywhere; as someone who actively defected to the alien species, he does not think his actions are wrong.

Compared to those upper-level humans occupied by alien species, he at least still lives retaining his human identity.

Changing the subject, he hesitated for a moment:

Are we just going to let Lin An live like this?

I'm afraid that by then the problems will only become more thorny. Moreover, the Capital War Zone has many neutral factions maintaining contact with Long An.

If they discover or sense the problem, wouldn't that also affect the plan?

The giant face looked at the rather loyal military man, his contempt growing even greater:

What, are you worried that Lin An might someday become a fourth-stage and we won't be able to kill him?

Or perhaps, after the plan begins, he will find out who exactly in the Capital Military Region is scheming against him?

By then, you traitors will be cleared out one by one?

He let out a cold laugh:

Put away your petty thoughts, you weak worm...

You underestimate us too much, and overestimate Lin An too much.

Let's not even mention that most of the neutral factions are mid-level; they couldn't possibly notice any abnormality, and even if they did catch a hint, they'd just assume it was the high-level's intention.

Even if we retreat ten thousand steps, even if someone discovers something, they cannot stop the Overlord's descent!

Our power far exceeds your imagination.

Moreover, the terrifying premise of the Perfect Ones is that they must advance to the fourth stage!

But not every Perfect One can advance to the fourth stage...

Otherwise, civilizations wouldn't have been destroyed.

With a meaningful tone, the giant face gave a light chuckle, not minding the extra information he had spoken.

For someone like the military man, a proper display of strength is what keeps him from harboring other thoughts.

That's it then.

When you go back, covertly guide the Military Region's opinions; I will have people cooperate with you, so that Long An and the Capital don't communicate too much.

As for Lin An's problem...

Once we come out, we'll naturally be able to easily pinch him to death!
