There was a long silence.
An Jingtian slowly sat back in his seat, his voice a little hoarse:
"Are you sure?"
"Could it be that Lao Liang made a wrong judgment..."
If you can barely accept it within the second level, one more is just one more.
As long as Team Lin successfully resolves future events, the second-order mutants will only die.
The worst thing is to retreat in time and everyone sticks to the core fortress.
Perhaps the casualties would be even more severe, since they were speed mutants after all.
But, if it is the third level...
unimaginable.
Even Team Lin can't fight against Tier 3, right?
Back in the Amoeba Dungeon, Team Lin relied on the Black Dragon to use the Cause and Effect Sequence to barely hold off the third-level monster and get back Zhang Tie's arm.
As the closest people to Lin An, he certainly knew that Black Dragon had fallen into a deep sleep.
Unless...unless Lin An forcefully activates the causal sequence again.
But in that case, Team Lin will most likely lose control...
The difference between the third order and the second order is like a qualitative change.
Chu An nodded calmly:
"The news can be confirmed and there will be no mistakes."
"I brought the transmission equipment researched by the Weapons Testing Institute to Liang Shaoguang, and he sent back simple pictures."
"The mutant in the frame only captured a white afterimage."
"The speed was extremely fast. He didn't even realize it was a monster until he saw the corpse left behind by the mutant."
As he spoke, Chu An smoothly handed over the picture in front of him:
"The deceased is a member of an unknown force. It seems that he followed the corpse tide."
"After encountering the mutant, everyone died."
In the picture, the corpse whose heart had been ripped out was beyond recognition and looked as if it had been tortured with bare hands.
Before Jingtian and others could recover, Chu An continued:
"It's what it is and we can only do our best."
"Maybe the monster's ultimate target may not be us, or even..."
"This mutant may collide with the armored corps of Wangjiang Military Region."
“It’s not necessarily all bad.”
Pale comfort.
An Jingtian smiled bitterly and sighed.
If the mutant's route is really nearby, then there is a high probability that it will be attracted by the sound of artillery from Long'an Base.
This kind of monster is easily attracted to large amounts of flesh and blood.
After a while, Wen Ya suddenly asked Chu An:
"Have you told Lin An?"
Colonel Chu shook his head and just turned to look at the tide of corpses outside the city:
"no need."
"The only thing he has to do now is hold on to the core."
"Nothing can compare to this."
"As long as we delay past the time point in future events, there is still hope for everything."
"Talking to him now will only distract him."
"What we have to do is help him share the pressure."
"Once he is informed of these circumstances, it is easy for Lin An to make mistakes in his judgment."
After saying that, Chu An stood up and walked to the window of the command room:
"I've told him we're in good hands."
"Mo Ling hasn't taken action yet, the electromagnetic gun can still be used. Even the high-strength steel cables and sandworms that trap the mutants are useless."
"We can hold it off."
After finishing speaking, Chu An suddenly turned his head and smiled stiffly:
"Believe in Lin An and believe in ourselves."
...
At the core fortress, the area around the closed gate was cleared.
Standing at the highest point of view, Lin An was as motionless as a sculpture.
He closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, and his mental power enveloped a hundred meters in radius. No movement could escape his perception.
Chu An told him not long ago that he was in good condition.
Let him not worry.
Lin An believed 80% of this.
The core fortress was less than two kilometers away from the city wall, and he could hear a lot of movement along the defense line here.
Except for the mutants rushing up the city wall at the beginning, the follow-up was indeed solved well.
I couldn't help but feel a little sighing and relieved.
The safe zone that he led and built by himself finally took a rough shape.
Under such an offensive of zombies, he managed to defend quite well without taking any action.
Looking at the mostly repaired facilities around him, Lin An couldn't help but smile.
This is his safe zone, the doomsday city that belongs to him and others.
If it weren't for Mo Ling's incident, he would be in a better mood now.
That kid Gao Tian finally lived up to his expectations and took him with him whenever he had nothing to do, and the Awakener trained by An Jingtian also cooperated well.
Wen Ya is also very hard.
Without anything else to do, Lin An couldn't help but think a lot.
It would be great if Zhang Tie was still here.
To be honest, he missed that stupid bear a little bit.
If the solution goes smoothly, Xiong Hanzi will have to be resurrected anyway.
..
At night, the starry sky above us was unusually bright.
Under the moonlight.
Deep inside the core fortress is somewhat quiet.
The rotating warriors can be vaguely seen on the city wall hidden in the shadows.
It's less than an hour until midnight.
There was nothing abnormal, as if the picture Yun Lin predicted did not exist.
Lin An even asked Yun Lin to predict Gao Tian again, but no useful information was obtained.
Of course, it can’t be said to be useless.
The picture of foreknowledge was distorted and dark.
In Yun Lin and Chu An's speculations, the future scene has changed.
This random clip may be Gao Tian sleeping, or it may be death.
The former indicates that Lin An has solved the problem and defended the base.
The latter portends destruction.
But in Lin An's mind, uncertainty is a good thing.
That means that the future predicted by Yun Lin is not necessarily unchangeable.
Just like the ending of a movie, there are many endings.
It’s just that what she saw was the one with a higher probability.
As for judging the direction of this matter by predicting others, Chu An chose to give up.
There is a high probability that other people's futures will be equally distorted.
Time passes and thoughts swirl.
As the general attack of the zombie tide gets closer and closer, the future of Mo Ling entering the core fortress is getting closer and closer.
Even he couldn't help but use the team voice:
"Gao Tian, is there anything unusual about Mo Ling?"
"Did you take her with you?"
On the front line of defense, Gao Tian glanced at Mo Ling, who was following closely beside him, and shook his head hesitantly:
"Captain Lin, everything is normal."
"There is nothing special about Mo Ling, except that he is a little depressed..."
"The zombie wave's general attack is coming soon, but you don't have to worry. It's okay if we delay it for a while."
"Colonel Chu said that we can definitely delay you until you take action."
Gao Tian sighed secretly and looked at the black line in the distance.
The general attack of the zombie tide means the final decisive battle.
So far, the drill-like second-order mutant has not taken action.
Even the mutants hidden in the zombie tide don't know what they do.
If there are no unexpected circumstances, it can indeed be delayed.
But there are too many unknown factors...
After finishing the team chat, Lin An rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Still nothing happened?
During this time, he thought about countless possibilities and possible problems.
But no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't imagine how Mo Ling would disappear under the eyes of Gao Tian and others?
How did you enter the core fortress?
Moreover, why attack the psychic core?
Maybe the answer to everything will be revealed in an hour?
Lin An stood up silently and couldn't help but move his hands and feet.
The core fortress made of alloy underfoot looks like a silent castle in the night.
And he is the watchman in the night.
However, as the moonlight gradually moved higher in the sky, the uneasiness in my heart became more intense.
nervous? Or the fear of the unknown.
The blade of the sword buzzed, and dark red blood slowly floated on the side of the body.
..
12:59 midnight.
Faint noises and warnings broke the brief peace.
Lin An suddenly raised his head and looked at the defense line in the distance.
The earth is shaking.
The walls were brightly lit.
As the flares rose into the sky with their flickering light.
The general attack of the zombie tide.
coming.
