Chapter 1902

Northern India war zone.

New Dharamsala Safe Zone.

Cold wind howled, ice and snow melted into dirty muddy water, trampled underfoot by the panicked crowd.

Within the core node, which bore a strong Indian sect style, hundreds of Dharamsala Awakened Ones seemed to split into two factions, arguing fiercely.

"Leader, I think we should just run! Take all the supplies we can and leave this place!"

"If we delay any longer, once the people of Faction: Long An come to kill us, we'll all die!"

Not knowing how many times they had urged the leader Alhanjin, a dark-skinned Third Rank Awakened One with his head wrapped in white cloth looked terrified, unable to stop checking the war zone channel every few seconds, his panicked expression as if he would bolt at any moment.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a white-skinned Awakened One across from him couldn't help but glare and shout:

"Coward! If we run now, what will become of the Safe Zone we painstakingly built? The node can't be taken with us!"

"If the people of Faction: Long An couldn't even defeat the first wave, it shows they have no spare strength to deal with us!"

"Yeah! With so many countries worldwide, they'd tire out trying to conquer them all! We're not an important place, in my view, the Long An bunch are just following that demon's orders, deliberately trying to scare us!"

"They merely put on a show by attacking a few big Safe Zones, lacking the energy to strike at us!"

"Show some spine! We're not just thinking of ourselves, but of India too! Do you really want those yellow-skinned monkeys to simply take over our territory?!"

"Exactly! This is a border! We must at least negotiate with that man, even if we join forces with other countries—he wants to unify the world, could he really wipe us out?!"

"Let them come and kill! As long as enough die, as long as we aren't afraid of death! The one we fear is Lin An! Just like a great prophet, weren't the British once scared to death by us?!"

The two factions argued, one wanting to flee, the other wanting to hold.

For those of the Salara High Level who wanted to hold, giving up the Safe Zone they had painstakingly built was no less agonizing than being killed!

As a Sino-Indian border region with low population density even before the Apocalypse, they established this place after the Apocalypse thanks to its superb geographical advantage, taking in many Survivors. In this Safe Zone where up to ten million people gathered, they lived as blissfully as gods.

The believers worked like oxen and horses, while the Survivors seeking their protection served them like servants.

Under little external pressure, any member of the Salara High Level, even a minor high official, could enjoy a noble lifestyle from a thousand years ago! They were true nobility, Brahmins! Even their spit had pious men and women kneeling to swallow it.

"They can't beat us!? If the people of Faction: Long An won't attack today, what about tomorrow?!"

"Don't you see? That monster, that demon! His goal is to unify the world! You bunch of idiots, on what basis do you think he'll spare us?!"

"Our country lies right on their border—New Delhi has already fallen! Do you still think it's fake?!"

Snarling with rage, the two factions seemed to divide by skin tone; a dark-skinned Awakened One couldn't help but shout at the past. In his view, those who had high caste before the Apocalypse were nothing but empty vessels—greedy and foolish!

New Delhi has already fallen! Even the Fourth Stage there were captured three hours ago; they could hardly resist Faction: Long An, let alone Lin An!

Before the conference table, Amirjin, whom both sides called the leader, stared at the crowd on the verge of fighting, not knowing what to do for a moment.

To be honest, he also hated to give this up; if they fled, what difference would there be between them without a Safe Zone and mere refugees? In the Apocalypse, the greatest burden is people, yet the greatest resource is also these lower-class humans!

But saying he wasn't afraid would be a lie; after personally witnessing Lin An sweep through the federation, he was nearly scared to piss himself!

Just as Amirjin was thinking back and forth, trying to find a compromise, the high priest who had been silent suddenly spoke:

"We must not flee! We must not bow to evil!"

"What are you afraid of? We have Brahma's protection; Lin An could never defeat us! If he dares to invade us, he will be burned by Brahma's wrath and damned to hell!"

Like preaching to the lower-class believers, the high priest suddenly rose to his feet, arms wide open.

However, hearing the high priest speak thus, all the Awakened Ones of high level in the meeting room grimaced, thinking this dead fatman had gone mad!

Even now, still talking about Brahma? Fooling the lower-class folk is one thing, but Lin An has slain so many gods they could pile up the whole Himalayas!

"High Priest! What we should be considering now is how to resist Faction: Long An! How to escape Lin An—don't keep saying this! We.."

High Priest! What we need to consider now is how to fight against the Faction: Long An! How to escape Lin An, so don't say these things anymore! We..

Before the pro-flee faction could suppress their irritation and shut this fat man up, the man called the priest suddenly snorted coldly and continued speaking on his own.

"Did you personally see Lin An kill those Fourth Stage?"

"Do you really think Lin An is as terrifying as he appears in the footage?"

"Were you there on the scene? Did you see the corpses of those gods?"

"It's just a broadcast! Those are all fake! It's nothing but a stunt Lin An pulled with those human traitors—to deceive the world into thinking he's invincible, making us surrender willingly!"

As his words fell, the crowd was instantly stunned, thinking the high priest had gone mad!

But soon, Amirjin noticed at a glance the deep meaning in the high priest's eyes, his gaze toward outside the meeting room, and instantly understood his true intent!

Just quickly, Amierjin noticed at a glance the deep meaning in the High Priest's eyes, after looking toward the outside of the Meeting Room, and instantly understood his true intention!

He probed, asking.

As expected, the high priest gave a light cough, then dropped the feigned divine act:

"We can confirm it's true, but do those lower-class folks know? We know the batch of Fourth Stage in India died, New Delhi really fell—can those down below confirm it?!"

"Run from what? Abandon everything, leave nothing behind—where could we possibly flee to?!"

"If we want to survive, to hold onto what's ours, we must tell the believers below, urging them to resist to the end!"

"I don't believe Lin An would really dare to wipe us out! He kills one, ten hate him; kill ten, a hundred hate him! Let him kill, let those lower-class folk die! In the end, even Faction: Long An will have to surrender!"

A cold snort—utterly unlike his outward obesity. The middle-aged man called the high priest quickly plotted how to counter Lin An!

As someone linked to the fugitives, he knew full well that if they wanted to live, they could never surrender; otherwise, when the reckoning came, they'd be the first to die!

Therefore, fleeing is useless! As long as they tightly grip the lower-class people as hostages, they alone have the qualification to negotiate with Faction: Long An!

Seeing that everyone understood his meaning, the high priest wasted no more time, issuing the order directly:

"Summon the whole zone! Tell the lower-class people, it's all fake! This is a complete and utter scam—that broadcast footage is something Lin An deliberately fabricated!"

(Note: The original list ended at line 55; line 56 appears to be missing in the provided list. However, the instruction said there are 56 lines. The last line given is 【55】. I will output only the lines provided.)

Wait: The user listed missing lines 【1】 through 【56】. I see they provided up to 【55】 in the list? Let's check: they enumerated from 【1】 to 【55】 actually. Let's recount: they listed 【1】 through 【55】 indeed. The prompt says 56 lines missing, but they gave 55. Possibly they missed one. However we must output exactly the lines listed. The instruction: "Translate ALL 56 of them NOW. Missing even one is unacceptable." But they gave 55 lines. I think it's a typo; we should output the given lines. To be safe, I will output lines 【1】 through 【55】 as translated. If there is a missing line, we cannot invent. I'll output exactly those.

Thus final output lines 【1】 to 【55】. Let's ensure each line is exactly as above.

I'll now produce

【1】 Northern India war zone.

【2】 New Dharamsala Safe Zone.
