Chapter 960: with translation of chapter title

He hastily piloted the fighter jet back.

He hastily piloted the fighter jet back.

Yun Tian blankly kept the fighter jet hovering above the crowd, at a loss as he stared at the suddenly appearing dozen or so corpses on the ground.

Just a short while ago, he noticed movement from Lin An's side again and thought another monster had appeared.

But after rushing back, he never imagined that Lin An had begun to kill.

Seeing the survivors crouched on the ground like chicks, heads covered, he stammered and couldn't help asking Zhang Tie:

Translate: "Just a short while ago, when he noticed movement from Lin An's side again, he had thought another monster had appeared." We'll keep: "Just moments ago, when he noticed movement from Lin An's side again, he had thought another monster had appeared."

"This..."

Translate: "But after hastily returning, he never expected that Lin An had actually started killing people." We'll say: "But after hastily returning, he never imagined that Lin An had begun to kill."

"What the hell is going on!!"

Translate: "Looking at the survivors crouching on the ground, heads covered like chicks, he stammered and couldn't help asking Zhang Tie:" We'll keep quotes? The line ends with a colon. We'll translate: "Seeing the survivors huddled on the ground like chicks, he stammered and couldn't help asking Zhang Tie:"

"Captain Lin, why..."

Translate: "\"This... \""

Before he could finish, he heard Xiong Hanzi let out a cold snort, his face indifferent as he grit his teeth:

Translate: "\"What... what's going on!! \""

"Nothing."

Translate: "\"Captain Lin, why... \""

"A few idiots are asking for death."

Before he could finish, he heard Xiong Hanzi let out a cold snort, his face indifferent as he gritted his teeth:

Standing there, Yun Tian didn't quite understand what Zhang Tie was saying, but deep down he felt this scene was somewhat familiar.

Translate: "\"Nothing. \""

Hovering in midair, Lin An noticed the returning Yun Tian and nodded:

Translate: "\"A few idiots are courting death. \""

"Let's go."

Translate: "Standing there stunned, Yun Tian didn't quite grasp what Zhang Tie was saying, but deep down he felt this scene was somewhat familiar." We'll translate: "Stunned in place, Yun Tian didn't fully understand what Zhang Tie was saying, but deep down he felt this scene was somewhat familiar."

The already thin corpse tide had been completely cleared, so he naturally had no reason to stay.

Translate: "Hovering in midair, Lin An noticed the returning Yun Tian and nodded:" We'll keep colon.

To be honest, he had no intention of taking action.

Translate: "\"Let's go. \""

But this group of survivors, under the boy's influence, had already begun to harbor thoughts they shouldn't have.

Translate: "The already meager corpse tide had been cleared up, so he naturally had no reason to stay." We'll translate: "The already sparse corpse tide had been cleared away, so he naturally had no reason to stay."

Do they think they can press him with so-called righteousness? Threaten him?

Translate: "To be honest, he didn't intend to intervene." We'll translate: "To be honest, he had no intention of taking action."

How truly naive...

Translate: "But this group of survivors had, under the boy's influence, begun to harbor thoughts they shouldn't have." We'll translate: "But these survivors, under the boy's influence, had already begun to harbor thoughts they shouldn't have."

People are inherently greedy.

Translate: "Want to use the so-called righteousness to pressure him? Threaten him?" We'll translate: "They wanted to use the so-called righteousness to pressure him? Threaten him?"

The heroic image of the survivors in their mouths means nothing to him.

Translate: "Truly too naive..." We'll translate: "Truly, it was too naive..."

Although Chu An had repeatedly suggested that he establish an image among the Chinese survivors.

Translate: "People are always greedy." We'll translate: "People are always greedy."

But for Lin An, everything pales in comparison to the persuasive power of sheer strength.

Translate: "The heroic image the survivors spoke of meant nothing to him." We'll translate: "The heroic image the survivors spoke of meant nothing to him."

Human nature is to bully the weak and fear the strong.

Translate: "Although Chu An had repeatedly suggested he establish an image among the Huaxia survivors." We'll translate: "Although Chu An had repeatedly urged him to build an image among the Huaxia survivors."

At least for most groups, this is an unbreakable truth.

Translate: "But for Lin An, nothing was as persuasive as sheer strength." We'll translate: "But for Lin An, nothing was as convincing as absolute strength."

This time he could be "threatened" by the survivors into protecting them—what about next time?

Translate: "Human nature is to bully the good and fear the evil." We'll translate: "Human nature is to bully the good and fear the evil."

Turning to board the aircraft, Lin An also didn't want to waste words with these survivors.

Translate: "At least for most groups, this is an unbreakable truth." We'll translate: "At least for most groups, this is an unbreakable truth."

Standing aside, Yun Tian finally came to his senses.

Translate: "This time he could be 'threatened' by the survivors into protecting them, but what about next time?" We'll translate: "This time he could be 'threatened' by the survivors into protecting them, but what about next time?"

But looking at Lin An's back, he couldn't help blurt out:

Translate: "Turning to board the craft, Lin An also couldn't be bothered to waste words with this group of survivors." We'll translate: "Turning to board the craft, Lin An also couldn't be bothered to waste words with these survivors."

"Captain Lin, let's stay the night and leave tomorrow..."

Translate: "Only then did Yun Tian, standing aside, snap back to his senses." We'll translate: "Only then did Yun Tian, standing to the side, snap back to his senses."

"Huh?"

Translate: "But, looking at Lin An's back, he couldn't help blurt out:" We'll translate: "But, looking at Lin An's back, he couldn't help blurting out:"

The three turned around.

Translate: "\"Captain Lin, let's stay the night and leave tomorrow... \"" We'll keep the quotes as given.

Lin An looked at the uneasy Yun Tian, his brow slightly furrowed.

Translate: "\"Huh? \""

"Do you want to guard them?"

Translate: "The three turned around."

Calmly asking, Zhang Tie beside him also furrowed his brow.

Translate: "Lin An looked at the uneasy Yun Tian, his brows slightly furrowed." We'll translate: "Lin An looked at the uneasy Yun Tian, his brows slightly furrowed."

"Yun Tian, don't be foolish."

Translate: "\"You want to guard them? \""

"You have no idea how nasty this bunch just spoke."

Translate: "He asked calmly, while Zhang Tie beside him also frowned." We'll translate: "He asked calmly, and Zhang Tie beside him also frowned."

"We saved them, said nothing, and yet they're full of nonsense."

Translate: "\"Yun Tian, don't be stupid. \""

"Captain Lin still has a lot on his plate."

Translate: "\"You have no idea how nasty these guys' words were just now. \""

Seeing the three's gazes, Yun Tian realized he had misspoken, though his true intention wasn't to stay.

Translate: "\"We saved them and didn't even ask for anything, yet they're full of nonsense. \""

"No... Captain Lin."

Translate: "\"Captain Lin still has a lot on his plate. \""

"I know... I know."

Translate: "Seeing the three's gazes, Yun Tian instantly realized he'd misspoken, though his true intention wasn't to stay." We'll translate: "Seeing the three's gazes, Yun Tian instantly realized he'd misspoken, though his true intention wasn't to stay."

With a bitter laugh, Yun Tian, feeling a bit embarrassed, pointed at the psychic fighter jet and whispered:

Translate: "\"No... Captain Lin. \""

"We need to recharge..."

Translate: "\"I know... I know. \""

"I've flown all day, and I just used the electromagnetic cannon..."

Translate: "With a bitter smile, Yun Tian somewhat embarrassedly pointed at the spirit energy fighter and whispered:" We'll translate: "With a bitter smile, Yun Tian somewhat embarrassedly pointed at the spirit energy fighter and whispered:"

"There's a psychic node here that can recharge..."

Translate: "\"It needs to recharge... \""

At night, the psychic fighter jet hovering over the original safe zone node emitted a blue ethereal glow, like a floating apparition in the darkness.

Translate: "\"I've been flying all day, and I just used the electromagnetic cannon... \""

Beneath the fighter jet, a simple tent was pitched, and a campfire lit.

Translate: "\"There's a spirit energy node here that can recharge... \""

Voices buzzed in confusion.

Translate: "Late at night, the spirit energy fighter hovering above the original safe zone node emitted a blue ghostly glow, appearing as if it floated from another world in the darkness." We'll translate: "Late at night, the spirit energy fighter hovering above the original safe zone node emitted a blue ghostly glow, appearing as if it floated from another world in the darkness."

Using the tent as a boundary, large numbers of survivors cautiously gathered around the fire outside.

Translate: "Beneath the aircraft, a simple tent was pitched and a bonfire lit." We'll translate: "Beneath the aircraft, a simple tent was pitched and a bonfire lit."

Compared to the previous fervor, now no one dares to step even half a step closer to Lin An.

Translate: "The voices were noisy." We'll translate: "The voices were noisy."

Lin An's decisiveness and ruthlessness truly frightened them.

Translate: "Using the tent as a boundary, large numbers of survivors cautiously gathered outside to build fires." We'll translate: "Using the tent as a boundary, large numbers of survivors cautiously gathered outside to build fires."

In the face of bloody corpses, they finally realized the opponent was not as easy to talk to as they imagined.

Translate: "But compared to the previous fervor, now nobody dared to step even half a step closer to Lin An." We'll translate: "But compared to the previous fervor, now nobody dared to step even half a step closer to Lin An."

Especially after those few survivors who wanted to record videos were killed by Lin An, no one dared to harbor ulterior motives.

Translate: "Lin An's decisiveness and ruthlessness truly frightened them." We'll translate: "Lin An's decisiveness and ruthlessness truly frightened them."

Sighs and groans.

Translate: "Faced with the bloody corpses, they finally realized the opponent wasn't as easy to talk to as they'd imagined." We'll translate: "Faced with the bloody corpses, they finally realized the opponent wasn't as easy to talk to as they'd imagined."

Looking at the burning campfire tent, many survivors even changed their previous views and now somewhat resent the boy.

Translate: "Especially after Lin An killed those Awakened Ones who had wanted to record video, no one dared to harbor ulterior motives anymore." We'll translate: "Especially after Lin An killed those Awakened Ones who had wanted to record video, no one dared to harbor ulterior motives anymore."

"Damn it, it's all this kid's fault! Talking nonsense got everyone implicated!"

Translate: "Sighs and lamentations." We'll translate: "Sighs and lamentations."

"Yeah, we didn't say anything; it's all just his own idea."

Translate: "Looking at the tent with the rising bonfire, many survivors even changed their previous views, now actually blaming the boy from earlier." We'll translate: "Looking at the tent with the rising bonfire, many survivors even changed their previous views, now actually blaming the boy from earlier."

Sighs and groans.

Translate: "\"Damn it, it's all this brat's fault! Spouting nonsense, dragging everyone into trouble! \"" We'll translate: "\"Damn it, it's all this brat's fault! Spouting nonsense, dragging everyone into trouble! \"" (Note: we keep exclamation marks.)

"Yeah, we didn't say anything; it's all just his own idea."

Translate: "\"Yeah, we didn't say anything; it was all that guy's own idea. \"" We'll translate: "\"Yeah, we didn't say anything; it was all that guy's own idea. \""

Yeah, we didn't say anything; it's all that guy's own idea.

Ah, who knows—if we had a better attitude, Lord Lin An might not have acted...

His expression was angry.

Many people were even resentful, unwilling to help the teenager gather the corpses.

These people died for no reason, and they almost got dragged into it.

In their view, the stalemate had become so severe, even resulting in deaths, all because of that brat's scheming.

If they hadn't spoken like that, perhaps Lin An's group, after staying behind, might still have a chance to plead with that big shot, maybe even get taken away.

His hearing is excellent.

Xiong Hanzi, roasting mutton chops, hummed a tune as he listened to the survivors' discussion completely reverse, feeling rather absurd.

Speak nicely and no one listens.

They won't behave unless a few people die.

Especially amidst the noise, he never once heard anyone mention the third-rank who died at the outset.

Everyone only cared about one thing: what they would do tomorrow after Lin An left.

Speaking of which, it's rather ridiculous.

Perhaps that third-rank had protected the survivors too well, yet after his death no one remembered him.

"Captain Lin, should I dig that pit deeper?"

After the mutton chops were done, Zhang Tie glanced at the pit Lin An had dug for that third-rank, a chill in his eyes.

It was already late at night, yet hardly anyone was asleep.

In the darkness, many survivors had sneaked up to the pit, unsure what they were plotting.

Perhaps they felt that after Lin An left, their safety would no longer be assured.

Perhaps they wanted to scavenge gear from the corpses, to see if Lin An had left anything behind.

After all, they clearly remembered that Lin An had taken nothing from the corpses.

However you think... at worst, the corpse still had a few pieces of "body-covering" gear.

Hearing Xiong Hanzi's question, Yun Tian initially felt pity for the survivors and turned his gaze their way.

After a few seconds, upon realizing the survivors indeed harbored that thought, a sense of absurdity welled up in him.

He was somewhat angry.

He couldn't fathom whether these people had not even a shred of gratitude.

In a moment.

The gathered crowd whispered, seeming to secretly surround the grave and then dig it open.

He nodded, just as Lin An signaled Zhang Tie to stop the crowd, when a panicked female awakened one suddenly burst from the throng and ran straight to Lin An.

She was extremely fast, her face flushed with anger, her eyes brimming with sorrow and indignation.

Looking at her demeanor, it was clear she had something to say.

At the same time, several second-rank awakened ones also looked panicked and gave chase.

"Don't let her get through!"
