In the endless deep sky, a silver-gray warship with a triangular structure seemed to be passing through a sea of fire, with a large number of golden flames burning brightly on the hull.
In the cockpit, Aryan looked at the invisible flames outside the hanging window with an ugly expression, his eyes full of irritation.
The flames have no effect on the hull, and even ordinary metal cannot melt.
But the various obstacles along the way are really unsettling.
This "barrier" surrounds the entire solar system and looks like a wall of fire designed to intercept pollution.
"Sir, maybe it was left behind before "we" left? It should have been randomly arranged, but I don't know why, but the coordinates in the record were also wrong."
Without paying too much attention to this wall of fire, behind Aryan, a fourth-level peak creator couldn't help but glance at the current coordinates.
It was a full seventy hours later than the planned arrival time on Earth.
They planned to teleport directly to the vicinity of the earth, but after the first teleportation, they unexpectedly discovered that they and others had almost teleported to another galaxy!
The coordinates were completely wrong. If Ender hadn't been one of the coordinates, they could have recalculated the Earth's position based on the structure of the stars.
They simply doubted that they could find the earth at all!
"Maybe the previous records were written incorrectly. After all, this place has long been abandoned. It's not an important place."
Behind Aryan, a team member whispered to comfort everyone.
He knew that the closer they got to the earth, the more nervous everyone would be. After all, their real purpose was to explore the traces of the Death Star.
It's like a group of mice hearing the cat's meow and sticking their heads out in fear.
"That's how it should be."
"But it's not that there's no good news. Have you noticed that it's very quiet here and there's nothing unusual about it."
No longer entangled with the coordinate issue, Aryan carefully looked at the various information detected by the monitoring system.
In his eyes, the entire Milky Way is like a calm lake, with no fluctuations except for the anomaly that appeared a week ago.
This proved to a great extent that the super strong man was just passing by and "jumped" away without even a second's delay.
"Yes, Master Aryan, actually I don't think I have anything to worry about. The people above are really making a fuss out of a molehill."
"How can a place like this where birds don't poop attract a being of that level? Not to mention it is related to the World Destroyer."
"It's related to the Death Star, and it's normal for the top management to pay attention to it, but it seems there's no problem. Contact the human named Ender and tell him to prepare for our arrival!"
"You can't travel such a long distance in vain."
As he spoke, the fifth-level man known as Aryan couldn't help but have an inexplicable meaning flash in his eyes.
"A low-level civilization is still very interesting to play."
Without thinking any more, the team members looked at each other and smiled, and immediately understood what the captain meant.
Since there is a high probability that there will be no problem here, then they have come so far, so they naturally want to enjoy it.
What will God do when he comes to earth?
Even though they belong to the fifth-level civilization, their strength is considered to be a high-level existence in the entire civilization, but in the alliance civilization, there are some rules that they have to abide by.
Therefore, after completing the mission, enjoying some "worship" from lower civilizations is almost an unspoken rule of the alliance.
Especially the low-level world they are about to descend into is not protected by the alliance.
Just when a few people couldn't help but think about what to do after landing, a slight buzzer suddenly sounded from the detection equipment that had been scanning the solar system.
Aryan looked subconsciously and saw that at the very core of the solar system, a prompt representing a special warning lit up instantly.
"Dip, discover the old era converter, coordinates, solar system, solar stars, corona."
"Um!?"
Aryan took a closer look.
In the picture magnified hundreds of millions of times, a blurry, triangular-looking artificial creation was slowly floating above the sun.
In the empty and silent deep sky, it appears so abrupt and conspicuous.
"That is!?"
Long'an outer city, back mountain.
"Captain Lin, are you looking for me?"
Standing on the watchtower at the highest point of the back mountain, Zhang Tie looked at Lin An anxiously.
Gao Tian was also called together with him. It was already late at night. Looking at Lin An's back that was almost integrated into the darkness, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other nervously.
There was still a strong smell of blood and gun smoke on their bodies. Both of them had just been teleported back from other war zones.
"sit."
Lin An turned around, his face rarely wearing a mask.
Looking at the two people who were a little nervous, he couldn't help but smile and signaled them to relax.
"How is the situation now? Is it going well?"
Listening to Lin An asking about his situation, Gao Tian hurriedly replied as soon as he sat down.
"Very smooth! Team Lin!"
"In all war zones and safe zones around the world, whether official or private, almost no one dares to resist us. We have no losses in manpower, except for some cult remnants. I believe we can take over the world in two to three weeks at most!"
As he spoke, Gao Tian couldn't help but feel a little excited, and looked at Lin An with eyes full of awe and emotion.
It is unimaginable that from the very beginning when Lin An proposed launching a global war to now, no one expected that the situation would go so smoothly.
They thought it would be a hard battle, a desperate battle of survival.
But who would have thought that the real battle would have ended as early as the moment Lin An appeared at the conference!
Just out of excitement, Gao Tian seemed to have thought of something and hesitated a little.
"Team Lin, although it went well, what should we do next?"
"Our manpower is actually not very capable of controlling so many areas, even if we move them all here."
I dare not question Lin An.
Gao Tian couldn't help but miserable scenes flashed before his eyes.
Yes, Long An did not lose many men, but casualties were inevitable. Moreover, Lin An demanded the destruction of all psychic nodes, which to a certain extent was extremely cruel to many survivors.
It is winter now.
Some safe zones incite resistance from the grassroots and even take large numbers of ordinary people as hostages.
Some forces choose to take away all the supplies, leaving only a group of bottom survivors struggling to support themselves. Chaos, robbery, fighting, and fighting, in this war, the world seems to have returned to the beginning of the apocalypse.
A large number of survivors die miserably every moment, just like in a war, the ones at the bottom are always the ones suffering.
Restoring order cannot be accomplished with strength alone.
The current situation was the same as they had judged at the previous meeting. Although Team Lin used thunderous power to directly kill the fugitives who threatened the most, it also made some survivors realize that those gods were not the ones who saved them at all.
But hatred is inevitable, and those who lost their loved ones in the chaos will always resent the culprit of all this.
Even though Gao Tian had the best plans, when he thought about the future integration of civilizations, he couldn't help but feel numb and had no way of starting.
"Captain Lin, aren't you trying to create some kind of religion? I think many people believe in you now! I just came back from North America, and there are already survivors there who have created something called Lin An's religion."
"How about we send out Long'an's people, just like in the dungeon, and directly create a Ling'an sect?"
Touching his head, Xiong Hanzi couldn't help but express his thoughts. Of course, he also felt that this was what Lin An thought.
Nowadays, amoeba stock solution can be mass-produced. Although the output is not large enough, it cannot be injected into those who are too hostile to Lin An.
But it should be no problem to create a group of priests.
However, to their surprise, Lin An seemed not to care about this and suddenly asked
"Zhang Tie, Gao Tian."
"What is your belief, or rather"
"Who do you hate the most and what do you want to do the most?"
After the words fell, the two of them couldn't help but be stunned when faced with Lin An's sudden question.
Who do I hate? What do I want to do?
He didn't understand why Lin An asked these questions at this time, but looked at Lin An's
With serious eyes, Zhang Tie could only suppress his questions and start thinking instinctively.
To be honest, he hates quite a lot of people, and he doesn't know how many scumbags he has beaten to death.
Ever since the apocalypse broke out, Zhang Tie felt that there were few good people in the world.
After a long silence, Gao Tian thought carefully and then slowly spoke.
"Team Lin"
"I don't quite understand what you mean. But if you ask me who I hate, it would probably be those monsters, and maybe the group of people you killed."
"Alien, fugitive, zombie."
Raising his head, Gao Tian smiled bitterly
"Tell the truth, Captain Lin."
"Every time I see a human being die at the mouth of a monster, I feel extremely angry. Those alien species, they sacrifice our soldiers, and those escapees, they deceive people and take pleasure in enslaving us."
"There are also those bastards who work for the fugitives, those scum who have no power but only oppress human beings!"
Clenching his fists, Gao Tian couldn't help but flash the scene of rescuing the Long An team in his eyes.
He would never forget the mountain of corpses he saw when he led his troops to the capital, and the human beings who were humiliated to death and hung on poles under the control of the fugitives.
Lin An nodded slightly and asked again softly.
"Then what if you had more power now, what would you do?"
Gao Tian was stunned and subconsciously replied
"Are you the same as Captain Lin? Or better?"
"Then I will probably kill all the monsters! Let everyone live a good life, and I will find a girlfriend and live a normal life, right?"
"Hunting occasionally? I actually have nothing to pursue."
"Of course, maybe a superhero cameo?"
After Gao Tian finished speaking, he smiled awkwardly. He was telling the truth. He had no rights or ambitions. To be honest, as long as the countries remained peaceful and everyone was in peace, he wouldn't even mind returning to the life before the end.
The doomsday is too cruel, and he has seen too many humans turn into "monsters".
After listening to Gao Tian's answer, Lin An did not comment, just turned to look at Zhang Tie
"What about you, Zhang Tie."
"I?"
"Then I hate you even more, Captain Lin. For example, those people in the hotel at the beginning, those damn ungrateful beasts!"
"Then there's the Wangjiang gang, who almost blew us up when we were defending the city! The Korean bastards, the Japanese beasts, and the North American cults."
"Damn it, even the capital's military targeted us during the trial! It's okay for outsiders to regard us as enemies, even our own people do the same!"
Zhang Tie scratched his head and felt like he was filled with anger.
"Captain Lin! And the Soviet Union gang! But if Tai begs for mercy, let's forget it."
He cursed a lot, and was completely different from Gao Tian and was more of a hateful monster.
As Xiong Hanzi spoke, he couldn't help but dance around and curse the scum he had encountered.
Faith? He has no faith. His faith is that he cannot bear to see the weak being bullied, which will always remind him of himself. He hates people so much that they all deserve to die!
Seeing that Lin An didn't speak after hearing their answers, Gao Tian was filled with doubts.
"Captain Lin, what do you want to do by asking these questions?"
Still no answer.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin An suddenly stood up and turned to look at the brightly lit Long An in the distance.
"do what"
"I want to do something, but I need to know what I should do first."
The two of them were stunned, not knowing what Lin An was talking about.
The next second, Lin An slowly spoke
"You are right to hate us. They are indeed our enemies."
"but."
"Six months ago, when I first entered the alien world, I was determined to die and wanted to stop the alien invasion."
"They are our enemies."
"After entering, I killed a mutant, impersonated him, and then used his wife and children to blend in with the mutant."
"Do you know what he was doing before he died?"
Turning around, Lin An's eyes were calm, as if he was stating a small matter.
"He was holding the food he had found carefully, for fear of losing it. He was very hungry and bleeding all over, but he was reluctant to take a bite."
"I killed him and skinned him, just before he returned home full of joy."
"Later, in order to help "me", his wife begged her brother to let me sneak into the alien city."
"In order to avoid being exposed, I crushed her heart when she was sending me away and hugging me, and then killed the little alien."
"Before she died, she couldn't believe why the person she loved would kill her with his own hands."
"After that, I enter the battlefield of stars."
"They are my enemies."
"So I killed all the testers. Each of them was the hope of their own civilization. The emperors of these civilizations, the leaders of civilizations, and the strongest men of the race all tried their best to survive and bring back more knowledge.
More resources and more points can save your people from disaster. Among them, there are a group of fourth-level people who have been cannon fodder from the moment they were born, just to die in the mission."
"I don't know them, and I don't know the stories behind them. But I know that these fourth-level people, whose names I don't even remember, are just like us, and they have struggled to get to where they are now."
"Their emperor can kneel down for the sake of civilization, and their leader can sacrifice his dignity in order to survive."
"Among those fifth-level people, there is a fifth-level girl named Liliel."
"Their civilization devoted everything to help her become the fifth level. She thought she could complete the task and allow her people to survive."
"But she died. She was captured by the stronger Level 5 and became a prisoner, and then she was eaten by me."
"She begged me to let her go. She told me how much their civilization had suffered and how many people had sacrificed themselves before she was sent in."
"Those who sacrificed for her include their previous generation leader, her teacher, the strongest person in their civilization."
After pausing for a moment, Lin An looked at the two members of the team who were suddenly stunned and asked calmly.
"Gao Tian, do you think they are monsters?"
"Zhang Tie, do you think all the people I killed were bad people?"
It's like asking and answering yourself.
Before the two of them turned pale and didn't know what to say, Lin An slowly spoke as if he was asking and answering his own questions.
"Zhang Tie, do you still remember the military you hated the most? When Long'an was first established, you were always clamoring to kill them. We might as well declare independence to avoid being upset."
"They target us, they are afraid of us, they don't believe in us, and they even plan to eliminate us."
"But these same people, Lin Zhan died and Li Hao died, they detonated the nuclear bomb and asked Zhang Yong to find me with a letter."
"Actually, I never told you what was in that letter, and Zhang Yong doesn't know either."
As he spoke, Lin An smiled and shook his head silently.
"He asked me not to save them. He wanted me not to hate them."
After the words fell, Lin An fell silent.
In fact, it wasn't that he couldn't save the people trapped in the capital after he came back, it was just that no one needed his rescue anymore.
The alien species sacrificed many people, but more people died in resistance, or in other words, in order to stop worrying.
"Team Lin Me"
"Nothing, Zhang Tie, I just want to say one thing."
"That means there are no monsters and no bad guys."
"The aliens are dead, the escapees are dead, the military is dead, those who opposed us, and those who were our enemies are all dead. But have we won?"
As if he had strengthened his belief, Lin An turned around and looked at the night sky after speaking.
It is actually difficult for most people to realize who they should hate and who is their enemy.
The thoughts of Gao Tian and Zhang Tie represent most people. They have simple thoughts and only think that enemies are enemies and monsters are monsters.
This is true, but not enough.
"If we really regard these people and monsters as our enemies, we will never be able to kill them all."
Gathering faith?
No, it should be guidance, ultimately making people realize the truth.
