It is different from what Xiong Hanzi and other outsiders imagined.
Lin An, who was accustomed to high-intensity battles, held himself to the strictest standards and had no need to vent such low-level desires.
The long night and waiting for the Sun Walker's time were one of the reasons. On the other hand, after the Second Will revealed its secret plan, Lin An suddenly realized that the Second Will must have tampered with him.
After checking it carefully, he was surprised to find that the progress bar of the body of fear, which he had not paid attention to for a long time, had reached 39%.
As a body of fear that had nothing to do with combat attributes or prompts, it almost never appeared in his field of vision.
Mechanical sanity...
Lin An smiled bitterly.
He actually also discovered that something was wrong with his state since coming out of the secret realm.
Not only is it simple indifference, there are very few things that can make him have mood swings. More importantly, it's the treatment of human beings.
Killing someone seemed to be as easy as drinking water for him.
Whether it's the villagers in the Black Territory or Paro outside the Thunderpike Safe Zone.
Even if the other party does interfere with his actions and waste time, he will not die anyway. He can spend some time to deal with it better.
There was a time when he would still care about hurting innocent people in battle, or try to minimize casualties.
But with the continuous ultra-difficult missions, each time they relied on sacrificing a large number of humans to win victory.
Over a long period of time, Lin An seemed to be used to doing this.
Subconsciously, he always thought that he was just "forced", but now...
Obviously, this is not the case.
No desire, no sympathy, no tolerance. No kindness.
While trying to test whether he still possessed the most basic human physiological desires, Lin An quickly came to a conclusion.
Various emotions and desires do not completely disappear on their own.
Yes, but only a little.
And this part often only takes effect on one's comrades and companions.
Slowly picking up the wine glass, Lin An calmly swallowed a sip of strong wine, feeling complicated and confused.
Maybe this is...the price of becoming stronger?
For some reason, he suddenly recalled the scene when he approached the mirror at noon that day.
My original self...is really "dead"...
Now he is just a living body in the apocalypse...
....
"Team Lin!?"
During the team's voice chat, Zhang Tie noticed Lin An who was in a daze at a glance.
He shouted nervously, he always felt that Lin An became more and more strange after coming out of the dream meme.
"Captain Lin, what's wrong with you!?"
After asking again and again, Lin An woke up instantly.
"I'm fine."
After a while, Lin An showed a wry smile and shook his head slightly, indicating that Xiong Hanzi didn't need to worry about him.
At the same time, the maid standing behind saw Lin An returning to normal, and pressed the bracelet on her wrist with some embarrassment.
That's a small device that notifies the background.
It probably means that the guests are not satisfied with the existing "performance".
In just a few seconds, the entire group of girls who had been used as guests to have fun while watching the show were hurriedly transferred away.
What followed was that the dancers on the stage froze.
"emegency notice!"
The backstage central control office was focused on being given a death order by Thor. The management responsible for making friends with Lin An looked solemn and hurriedly issued a new order through a simple headset.
"No. 1, No. 3! No. 6!"
"Exit the show! Send it directly to Lord Ren's private room!"
"Everyone else is business as usual!"
At the reception desk under the stage, the waiter responsible for handling the guests before the curtain was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but asked in a low voice:
"Let them withdraw from the performance now!?"
"Sir! These three girls are the best here! Many awakened people come to them!"
"Send it up now, the pot will explode down there!"
Without waiting for his subordinates to refute, the manager in charge of the theater spoke with a solemn tone and refuted it without any hesitation:
"Do not care!"
"Lord Thor has issued a death order! We must have a good time tonight! Not to mention that other people are dissatisfied, even if we cancel future performances, we must satisfy that gentleman!"
Unlike his subordinates who are still worried about how this move will affect future ticket sales.
As a manager, Layton knew very well why the Torda people valued these two mysterious people so much.
Apart from anything else, it was enough that both of them were at the third level, but the mixed-race young man was simply outrageously strong.
To crush a second-level pinnacle in the air, you shouldn't be able to do it even if you are suppressed by that level!
Ask yourself, Thor asks himself that he has seen the strongest third-level spiritual awakener, Bastantine can't do this!
And the other party is already one of the top ten awakened people in Soviet Russia.
Using a group of clean girls to exchange for the favor of this big man is a great deal in Thor's eyes!
In the audience, the subordinate in charge of field control could only sigh after hearing the boss's tone.
He glanced at the girl who was still performing on the stage with half envy and half pity, and couldn't help but secretly curse and long for her.
These dogs and bastards don't know how to play with these children.
"The lead dancer, Celia, after a performance is over, directly ask Nos. 1, 3, and 6 to go to the backstage room!"
Looking at the innocent faces of the girls who were called, the waiter couldn't help but feel sad.
Pity.
"Participate in the show".
As a last resort, he knew how the management taught these children.
Even if the Pope were here, he would probably drop his crown in excitement and shout, "I am with sin."
....
"Captain Lin, is this the home of the Sun Walker?"
Standing on the top of a mountain peak, Xiong Hanzi looked curiously at the deep pit not far from his feet.
This was a mine that was abandoned after the apocalypse.
The gravel is rugged, and traces of rough excavation can be seen everywhere.
Densely packed blastholes cover every hilltop. From the large number of abandoned mine cars, one can vaguely imagine the busy scene at that time.
"Pay attention and I will draw it out to fight."
Lacking the mental power to scan, Lin An held the map in his hand and carefully examined the underground situation.
Although the map is detailed, unfortunately the caves dug by the day walkers are not included in it.
He could only deduce the underground conditions where the Sunwalker was based on the basic topography.
The intricate caves and pits are like a rat's nest. If you dive into it, a weaker person would probably get lost in it.
"boom"
Stepping lightly, Lin An silently felt the feedback from the vibration waves.
His brows furrowed slightly.
As the only means of remote detection at this stage, the seismic waves returned by the vibration told him that there was more than one monster underground.
There is a clear difference in the feedback strength between flesh and rock.
After several consecutive tests in different directions, Lin An quickly came to a general conclusion.
There are at least 7 mutants in this underground area!
The Sun Walker is in the largest cave among the three mutants.
At a glance, under the low night sky, the little stars bring weak visibility.
In the Sunwalker's Pit, which is as far as the eye can see and looks like the entrance to hell, one can faintly hear the roars.
