Lin An stood up and raised his miaodao.
Looking at the nervous girls, his expression was calm, and his tone was filled with calmness."Let's go, follow me."
He pushed open the warehouse door and whistled at Harry, who followed him.
Then, he looked at the long flood of steel coming from afar.
This huge commotion undoubtedly attracted a lot of zombies scattered all over the suburbs.
However, in the face of modern technology, these slow-moving zombies were powerless to fight back.
Lin An observed for a moment and felt that there was no risk of him being accidentally injured. Then, he started the motorcycle and asked Harry to stay where he was to protect the girls. He then rode on the motorcycle and carried the miaodao on his back. He took the initiative to approach.
As expected, before he could get too close, someone shouted loudly for him to get out of the car and follow the team on foot, not to disturb the order of the march.
" I have important information to tell you," Lin An said in a clear voice." Please let me meet your commander."”
The soldier picked up the radio on his shoulder and reported briefly, then said loudly,""You have one minute to talk. Please pay attention to the quality of the call.”
Lin An smiled and took the walkie-talkie."" Hello, I am an Evolver, a type of human who awakened and possessed special powers when the apocalypse arrived. Perhaps you have never heard of this term, but please believe that I am not making it up.”
"Other than me, my friend is also a posthuman. We are willing to join the colony temporarily, but we hope to receive some preferential treatment. For example, let me keep my personal car.”
The walkie-talkie buzzed, and soon a reply came through."Evolver? What are you talking about?"
"If you don't mind, I'm willing to show you my strength.”
After Lin An finished speaking, the walkie-talkie paused for a moment again. A determined voice sounded." Come to the armored vehicle marked in red in the middle of the team and find me. I hope you're not joking."”
After Lin An returned the walkie-talkie to the soldier, he waved his hand at the girls who were still waiting at the entrance of the warehouse. He then started his motorcycle and walked toward the center of the group.
Soon, they found an armored vehicle in the queue. A middle-aged man in his forties was sitting in the front passenger seat.
He waved his hand when he saw Lin An. The entire team was moving forward at the same speed as the infantry. Therefore, he only opened the door and jumped down from the passenger seat.
"What is the power of an Evolver that you're talking about?”
The middle-aged man had short hair. Even though his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes seemed to have the power to see through people's hearts.
Lin An didn't say anything else. He extended his hand and said,""Please give me a gun. If you're worried, you can remove the bullets.”
What kind of ability would be the easiest to get the other party's attention? Lin An only needed to think for a moment before he got the answer from his pile of abilities.
Compared to the terrifying Blacklight Virus, there was no doubt that strengthening abilities were the easiest to be valued.
"Give him one." The middle-aged man spoke briefly, but every word was filled with determination and power.
One of the soldiers took out a pistol from his holster without hesitation. He unloaded the gun, removed the clip, and turned off the safety before handing it over to Lin An.
Lin An picked up the pistol and with a thought, a white glow appeared on his hand.
Ten seconds later, the light dissipated, and Lin An handed the gun over.""This is one of my abilities. I can strengthen all objects, including vehicles, weapons, machinery, and other non-living things.”
"Now, I have reduced the recoil of this pistol and increased its firing speed and power. This is only the most basic strengthening, and it can be strengthened multiple times and stacked.”
After Lin An finished speaking, the soldier looked up at the commander.
The middle-aged man personally took the pistol and asked for the magazine. After loading it, he aimed it at a zombie with a broken leg in the distance. It could only stagger and crawl towards the team.
"Bang!"
He pulled the trigger and then exclaimed.
"Give me another one."
The middle-aged man ordered another soldier to take out his gun. After firing a few times, he nodded and revealed a hint of joy."Evolver, you seem to know these things very well. Can you tell me in detail?”
He didn't use a commanding tone to speak to Lin An, which was very rare.
"No problem, but before that, I hope that my friends can enter the queue first. There are two ordinary girls, and I hope that I can protect them.”
" No problem." The middle-aged man smiled." You have a friend who is also a posthuman?" What is her ability?"
"Psychokinesis can control objects remotely.”Lin An gave a simple explanation and then said,""Then I'll bring them here first, and then I'll report to you in detail what I know.”
"My name is Lin An, the leader of the evolver team.”
Lin An extended his hand, and the middle-aged man was taken aback. He then laughed and extended his hand." Call me Qin Biao, the commander of the armored regiment. I have received orders to gather survivors and be responsible for the establishment of Colony 33. I will be the temporary leader. Welcome."”
The two of them shook hands.
"Thank you."
Lin An nodded and turned around to start the motorcycle. He then went back to pick up the girl.
Both of them were very smart. With a few simple words, they set the tone for each other's identities.
The reason why Lin An had to introduce himself first was obviously to differentiate his identity and colony from the ordinary survivors. He wanted to show that his attitude was to cooperate and not to rely on him.
Qin Biao obviously understood what he meant and quickly responded, expressing his willingness to cooperate.
After that, they would definitely need to evaluate each other, but their friendly attitude still satisfied each other.
Lin An rode his motorcycle back and said,""Let's go."
He raised his chin at Jiang Qingxue.""Do you know how to drive a motorcycle?"
" No," Jiang Qingxue hesitated." I've only ridden an electric bike before."”
"Then I'll teach you tomorrow." Lin An told them to regroup with the team.
As for himself, he would get off the motorcycle and push the other motorcycle into the warehouse to lock it up. When he came out tomorrow, he would come back to get it.
There were no traces of zombies on the road, but there were quite a few scattered zombies behind the team. However, under the gunfire, they could only be cleared out one by one.
The biggest danger was in the county. The commotion caused by the team would undoubtedly attract most of the zombies wandering in the county.
Lin An didn't plan to let them leave on motorcycles. There were armored vehicles in the team, and it would definitely be much safer to use them to cross the county town than to ride on motorcycles.
Even if the team was held back, ordinary zombies would not be able to break through the armored vehicles.
Lin An brought them to Qin Biao once again after walking from the warehouse to the highway.
"Please let them stay in the armored vehicle.”
Lin An pointed at Lu Yao and Yin Xiaoxiao.
At this moment, facing a large group of armed soldiers, they could not help but feel nervous, like primary school students seeing their teacher.
"No problem." Qin Biao was very happy to befriend someone as capable as Lin An. In the past, his team had always been filled with capable people, and the weak ones had to make way. As long as the person who made the request was capable, he would not mind giving some preferential treatment that did not affect discipline.
Furthermore, Lin An was more than capable.
Qin Biao waved his hand, and the back of the armored vehicle was opened. The seats inside were all empty. The soldiers were walking and preparing for battle at the same time, so they naturally wouldn't stay in the vehicle.
Lin An nodded and waved at Lu Yao and Yin Xiaoxiao, indicating for them to go inside.
The two of them nodded obediently and walked to the back. Before they got into the car, Yin Xiaoxiao whispered to him,""Be careful."
Lin An smiled and gave him a thumbs up.""Don't worry."
Qin Biao looked at the remaining Jiang Qingxue. As he followed the group forward, he asked,"Is she the other posthuman who can use psychokinesis that you mentioned?”
He felt that this thing was a little unfamiliar, and it was difficult for him to understand it.
Lin An gave Jiang Qingxue a meaningful look.
Jiang Qingxue nodded and gave Qin Biao a look. Then, Qin Biao realized that the walkie-talkie on his shoulder was floating.
Jiang Qingxue opened her hand, and the walkie-talkie flew to her palm. Then, she handed the walkie-talkie to Qin Biao.
"Impressive." Qin Biao only felt rather shocked. If not for the fact that he had encountered many storms and waves these few years, it would probably be difficult for him to calm down for a moment.
"Can we have a good chat now? Once they entered the city, they probably wouldn't have that much time.”
As Qin Biao spoke, he gestured to the soldiers beside him to not block the way and to make way for Lin An to slowly ride alongside him.
"The so-called posthuman!"
Lin An briefly explained the basic information, such as mutated zombies, animals, evolvers, and mutants.
Then, he emphasized the meaning and potential of Evolvers, including the terrifying power of those monsters that could evolve.
Qin Biao was silent for a moment. He frowned and digested the information. He had obtained a lot of vague information, but he had not received any specific notification.
He didn't even know half of what Lin An was talking about.
After a while, Qin Biao said," Evolvers won't be infected by zombies, and they aren't contagious. Are you sure about this?"”
"I'm sure." Lin An had tested this in the first few days of the simulation.
"You said that your strongest strength is your physical fitness? How exaggerated is it?"
Lin An didn't deliberately hide his abilities, but he didn't tell him all of his abilities either. He only told him that his current physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people.
Upon hearing Qin Biao's question, Lin An casually looked around and found a reference.""I can overturn this armored vehicle by myself.”
"Really?" Qin Biao knew that he was spouting nonsense. How could Lin An make such a joke?
Lin An smiled." There's no rush. When the zombies come, I'll join the battle to show off my abilities."”
Qin Biao nodded heavily and said sincerely,""No matter what, you joining us is already the best news in the past two days.”
"Don't worry, as long as everyone doesn't shoot me, I'll be fine.”
Lin An smiled as he finished speaking. The surrounding soldiers who had been eavesdropping on their conversation couldn't help but tighten their grip on their guns. They couldn't help but feel a sense of competition in their hearts.
Little did they know that Lin An had learned his lesson.
In his first simulation, he died from a misfire of a howitzer. That feeling was extremely satisfying.
"Did you hear that? All of you, stay alert. No mistakes are allowed in this operation.”Qin Biao didn't take it as a joke.
While his expression was serious as he encouraged the morale, he repeatedly emphasized loudly,"Everyone, pay attention to remain calm and fight strictly according to the standards of training. If you encounter any unexpected situation, don't panic.”
"Yes, sir!"
A group of soldiers shouted in response.
Qin Biao shook his head and whispered to Lin An,""In our armored regiment, less than half of the soldiers are veterans who have been here for more than three years. The rest are just a bunch of newbies.”
"Some of them just finished their basic training and were pulled here.”
" Sigh, it's a pity that this disaster came too suddenly. At least half of our excellent warriors couldn't survive it and became damned monsters.”
"During the battle, be careful and try not to get too far away from me. Although I have confidence in them, you have to be prepared for the worst.”
Qin Biao's expression was firm, but his eyes were a little gloomy. No one knew better than him how strong his team was. After this rescue, he didn't know if he could bring them all away safely.
How much of their abilities could warriors who had not been baptized by battle display in such a terrifying and sudden battlefield?
"Don't worry, most of the zombies now are just slow-moving targets. As long as you calm down, you can deal with them.”
"If there are any troublesome mutated zombies, just leave them to me.”
Lin An turned to Jiang Qingxue and said softly,""You don't have to be too nervous. Your mission is to follow the team and familiarize yourself with combat abilities. You don't have to rush to the front. Protecting yourself is the most important thing.”
Jiang Qingxue nodded and took a deep breath. The smell of gunpowder filled the air, making her tense up unconsciously. Even though she was comforted, it was difficult to ease her nerves.
"Pay attention to your safety. I'll give you the authority to move freely, but please be careful not to disturb the battle sequence. We will complete the rescue and evacuate before sunset in the afternoon.”Qin Biao nodded at Lin An before returning to the armored vehicle and taking out his walkie-talkie.
Lin An rode his motorcycle and smiled at Jiang Qingxue.""Come on, I'll take you for a ride."
Jiang Qingxue, who was walking, sat on the back seat of his motorcycle and gently wrapped her arms around his waist.
Lin An reached out and gently held her hand. As expected, it was trembling slightly.
However, as her fingers interlocked, she quickly calmed down.
The motorcycle was driving very slowly, almost as if it was walking. However, Lin An's arm strength was astonishing. Even at such a slow speed, he was able to keep the motorcycle steady and keep up with the armored vehicle.
As time passed, after half an hour of slow walking, the county town finally appeared in front of them.
A large number of zombie corpses lying on both sides of the road, as if their heads had been cut off by some monster, attracted the attention of the team. Soon, Qin Biao, who was standing by the window of the armored vehicle, asked Lin An a question with a strange expression on his face.
"Someone reported that a large number of zombies were beheaded by sharp blades. It is suspected that a special monster has appeared."
" I did." Lin An nodded calmly." I did."”
"Yesterday, I went in and went around. I cleaned up some of them, but I didn't make much of a move. I only cleared one path. The number of zombies in the other parts of the county is definitely not small.”
After Lin An finished speaking, Qin Biao couldn't help but nod heavily.""It seems that you are stronger than I thought.”
Lin An smiled and didn't reply. Qin Biao sat back in the armored vehicle and used the radio to inform the soldiers ahead.
Soon, the soldiers who had received the news began to steal glances at Lin An when they saw the corpses on both sides of the road being cleared.
This brother was a little too much, wasn't he?
The loudspeaker on the armored vehicle was still playing on loop.
After a short period of silence.
On both sides of the road, many survivors suddenly appeared, cheering as they rushed towards the team.
These survivors who were eager to obtain shelter caused a trace of chaos in the team.
Qin Biao immediately made a prompt decision and changed the tone of the loudspeaker. He said loudly,"Everyone, pay attention to order!"
"According to the drill, release a rescue space between the teams to accommodate the survivors!”
"All survivors, pay attention. Do not collide with the team. Gather with the warriors holding the red flag!”
However, soon, monsters other than survivors began to appear in the streets and alleys, and they walked towards the team with determination.
Qin Biao gripped the walkie-talkie tightly. Focus on aiming! All automatic shots are prohibited!”
"Whoever dares to hurt one of our own, I'll beat him to death!”
As he gave out orders loudly, he stood up from the armored vehicle and leaned against the door to observe the situation.
"Damn it, if I didn't, my command vehicle would have been blown up yesterday."
He cursed under his breath.
"Pay attention to the effective shooting distance!"
"Fire!"
Gunshots rang out.
The tanks on both sides of the team, responsible for opening up the path and providing cover, also let out loud roars from time to time.
"Awoo!"
"Roar!"
The zombies roared and rushed out from the streets. Some zombies even started to slam into the glass in the tall buildings because of the loud noise, shattering the glass and falling down.
The screams of countless survivors gradually rang out. They began to gather with the team from their hiding places. From time to time, they could hear cries and painful cries for help.
Lin An's emotions gradually tensed up, and he could feel Jiang Qingxue subconsciously hugging him tightly from behind.
His expression remained the same as he gently held her hand.
Inside the armored vehicle, Yin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to cover her ears and shiver in her seat. Lu Yao gritted her teeth and barely managed to sit still, comforting herself that nothing had happened.
However, the screams, the roars of the monsters, the loud reports of the soldiers, and the sounds of firing still made them very uneasy.
They both thought that perhaps they shouldn't have gotten into the armored vehicle and should have just stayed by Lin An's side.
"Knock, knock."
Lin An knocked on the trunk of the armored vehicle. Even though they were separated by the trunk, his voice still reached their ears firmly and clearly.
"I'm here."
Instantly, he felt relieved.
Looking at the countless zombies on the way, there were many survivors who unfortunately bumped into the zombies. There were even some who jumped down from the building and fell half to death. They had no choice but to wail and wait for the soldiers to help them.
Qin Biao clenched his fists tightly, breathing heavily. He glared and roared,"Everyone, save him!"
The soldiers began to move. According to the original plan, a portion of them left the formation and began to help some unarmed survivors escape from danger or solve the obstacles that prevented them from surviving.
Lin An, on the other hand, was silently observing his surroundings. His eyes seemed to be emitting a faint glow.
A few minutes later, he suddenly said,"Give me a gun."”
A soldier was stunned and didn't know if he should do as he was told. However, when he thought of what had just happened, he gritted his teeth and took out his pistol.
Lin An opened the safety and aimed at a survivor who was clutching his arm in the distance. He then expressionlessly aimed at his head and pulled the trigger.
"Do you know how to shoot?"
The soldier roared at Lin An, but Lin An looked at him coldly." He was bitten by a zombie."
"Cut the crap! Pay attention to the survivors. If there are any signs of being bitten, all of them…" Qin Biao shouted at the soldiers and picked up the walkie-talkie. As he spoke, he suddenly choked.
A few seconds later, he gritted his teeth and said the last few words.
"All of you will be expelled from the team. Those who resist will be executed on the spot!”
Many of the soldiers slowed down for a moment, but then, they all roared in unison and stopped the flight. More people rushed out of the formation, trying to pick up the survivors and join the formation.
However, at the same time, there were many unexpected casualties.
Lin An watched all of this calmly and reminded Qin Biao,""You should keep them in formation.”
"I know, I know, but damn it!”
Qin Biao roared and punched the armored vehicle heavily.
"Listen up, maintain your formation! Act according to the drill and plan! Whoever dares to run around again, kill them all!”
The battlefield fell silent for a moment.
What followed was a faint sobbing sound that was drowned out by gunshots.
Lin An continued to observe his surroundings with an expressionless face. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.
"Little Jiang, you push the cart."
He got out of the car and Jiang Qingxue hurriedly took it. There were gunshots and shouts everywhere. She had no choice but to ask loudly,"Where are you going?"
"Take care of the danger."
He pulled out his miaodao and pointed at a street.
In the distance, a huge, muscular figure that seemed to be three to four meters tall was charging over in a berserk manner. All the zombies and vehicles that blocked its way were knocked away by it without any reason.
The bulging red muscles on his body were not covered by his skin. The terrifying strength that he felt as if his muscles had become spiritual instantly attracted the attention of many people.
Gunshots rang out, and blood splattered everywhere. However, the monster grabbed a car and used it as a shield. It held it in front of it and ran with all its might.
Not far away from the monster, a Warrior was desperately carrying a six or seven-year-old child as he ran towards the team. However, he ran too far in order to save someone. Anyone could see that he would be caught in a few seconds.
"Tank, get ready to aim." As soon as Qin Biao spoke, Lin An waved his hand.""Leave it to me."
He took a step forward, and without needing the soldiers to make way for him, he flew into the air like an eagle. After passing through the obstruction, the moment he stepped on the ground, his loose sweatpants were instantly filled with muscles. The exaggerated explosive force made him seem to teleport in an instant.
"Be careful of accidental injuries!" Qin Biao could only shout for the soldiers to focus on shooting.
Thus, everyone who was paying attention to Lin An saw the shocking scene. Their eyes widened, and they wanted to scream in shock.
