My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 94: Act Pretentiously with Caution

Under the pervasive red fog, the sound of gunfire echoed incessantly.

Lin Wei stood atop an armored vehicle, gazing toward the distant Abyss, seemingly lost in thought.

This was near the Abyssal Rift.

The red fog was everywhere, the ground a dark red, covered with dense, black cracks.

Research suggested that these cracks were the result of energy emanating from the Abyssal Rift.

It had completely altered the environment in this area.

The military, leading the efforts, had established a defense line at Lindong Sanctuary, encircling the entire Abyssal Rift. As soon as any Demonized Beasts popped up, a variety of pre-emplaced weapons would bombard and kill them.

At that moment, a trusted subordinate ran over from afar.

"How's it going?" Lin Wei asked.

"The third wave of the Demonized Beasts' onslaught was repelled today; it looks like there won't be any problems. In another two days, this defense line should stabilize."

The existence of the Abyssal Rift far exceeded the current human understanding.

The most accepted theory was that the Abyssal Rift was a spatial passage, connecting to another world.

At the onset of the apocalypse, some military bigwigs took control of an Abyssal Rift and dispatched a special forces team in an attempt to explore it.

They managed to enter, but no message ever came back.

After several attempts, that bigwig stopped trying. At the very least, whatever lay on the other side was bound to be extremely dangerous.

The Abyssal Rift could not be destroyed, nor could the emergence of Demonized Beasts from it be prevented.

Only by forming a defense line could the Demonized Beasts be firmly controlled, and before a large-scale Demon Tide formed, the scattered Demonized Beasts were not much of a threat against modern firepower.

The reason the defense line had not yet stabilized was Lindong's higher-ups were concerned that powerful Demonized Beasts might suddenly emerge. But just wait another two days. Once all the weapons here were fully deployed, even if a colossal Demonized Beast appeared, the surrounding Energy-gathering Cannons would quickly eradicate it.

By then, the Abyssal Rift would no longer be a threat.

On the contrary, it could provide Lindong Sanctuary with a continuous supply of resources.

Such as Source Crystals, such as the precious materials from the bodies of Demonized Beasts.

"Old Man Lu does indeed have courage, it's just a pity..."

Lin Wei actually never considered overthrowing Lu Jianjun.

He wasn't foolish; the Demonized Beasts were the true enemy. Infighting among humans would weaken the overall strength of Lindong Sanctuary, leading to self-destruction.

What he planned to do was to accumulate power in secret. Only with sufficient power could he act without any constraints.

As for Lu Jianjun, although he was sometimes a nuisance, he was not really a threat.

On the contrary, as long as Lu Jianjun remained in his position, there were many things he would have to do. Like this time, forming the Alliance Army of Lindong Sanctuary; Lu Jianjun would inevitably have to bear the main burden.

Lin Wei stroked his chin, revealing a smile.

"The losses will just have to be borne by Old Man Lu himself. As long as I get my share of the gains, that's enough."

"Just in time, Dr. Zheng sent a message last time; the Beastification Soldier project has entered its final phase but lacks some experimental resources. Now that we've taken control of the Abyssal Rift, the resources from the Demonized Beasts are more than sufficient."

Lin Wei turned around, his gaze sweeping into the distance.

In another two days, once things here had settled down, he could take his trusted subordinates and secretly leave, wiping out the bothersome Green Shadow Sanctuary and then taking control of the Source Crystal Mine.

By then, there would be no shortage of Demonized Beasts or Source Crystals.

The success of the Beastification Soldier project was just around the corner.

…

Green Shadow Sanctuary.

After the completion of the Patrol Team assessment.

Luo Zhe led the new members who had joined the Patrol Team toward the back valley.

That was where the Patrol Team usually rested and regrouped, and the other members were also converging there.

The old and new members of the Patrol Team were about to meet.

The Iron Hammer Brothers trailed the team.

The short and stout younger brother leaned in, whispering, "Big brother, big brother, how did we end up joining the Patrol Team?"

Ma Jiafeng looked up to the sky, his face in deep contemplation.

He had never really considered joining any Patrol Team, for it was only in the wilderness, only in constant danger, that he could keep improving.

That was his creed.

It was also the reason why the two of them had come so far and become experts.

However, he was still no match for Luo Zhe, still far behind, and Ma Jiafeng couldn't even begin to imagine how powerful Luo Zhe's true strength was.

And he was just the captain of the Patrol Team. It was said that there was an Ice Frost Ability User in the Lindong Sanctuary, whose strength was also extremely formidable.

Ma Jiafeng wouldn't underestimate the Healing Series Ability User they had just met simply because she was a healer; he even felt threatened by Winnie.

Every single one of them was a super expert.

Not to mention the most mysterious Director Tang of the Sanctuary, who could create buildings out of thin air and make Puppets, whose strength was unfathomably deep.

That was why he hadn't refused.

Even though he could no longer enjoy the dangerous setting of the wilderness, he was willing to pay any price as long as it would make him stronger, as long as it was within his principles.

They walked into the valley, and the scenery suddenly opened up in front of them.

To the right of the valley, a lot of land had been cultivated, with the golden wheat visible at a glance, along with other crops such as corn, potatoes, vegetables, and fruits.

These crops were thriving, and seeing this vast stretch of farmland, many people showed surprised and pleased expressions.

Food was exceedingly precious in the apocalypse.

Especially these growing, soon-to-be-harvested crops, represented hope.

As members of the Patrol Team, as part of the Sanctuary, these people naturally hoped that the Sanctuary would grow and prosper, and that they would benefit more from it.

Then they saw the other side of the valley, where members of the Patrol Team were resting.

"Call landlord, snatch the landlord!"

"Four sixes!"

"Rocket! Hahaha, I win again!"

The Iron Hammer Brothers and the newcomers to the Patrol Team walked in and saw this scene.

A bulky man with a slicked-back haircut, a young man, and a fat man were engaged in an enthusiastic card game, their voices audible from far away.

The man with the slicked-back hair threw down his cards and burst into laughter, while the other two looked thoroughly dejected.

The Iron Hammer Brothers looked at each other, feeling that something was off about this scene.

Had they come to the wrong place?

Soon, they shifted their gaze to another area, where they saw someone with closed eyes, in a handstand, balancing on one finger, and not on the ground, but on a bamboo stick standing upright.

This finally looked a bit more normal... Not at all!

Whether they appeared unserious or seriously terrifying, was this really the Patrol Team?

Just then, Luo Zhe cleared his throat, and the three playing cards finally stopped.

There was no special ceremony for new members joining the Patrol Team, it was just about getting familiar with each other; Luo Zhe simply emphasized the introduction of two individuals.

"These two, Shay and Kong, are the deputy captains of the Patrol Team; you'll follow their orders when I'm not around. Of course, they are also very strong, and those of you who are interested can spar and exchange ideas with them."

The old members of the Patrol Team had no particular reaction, as they had already made their acquaintance, and perhaps even engaged in pleasant exchanges.

The outcome wasn't necessarily pleasant, though.

The newly arrived members, especially ones like the Iron Hammer Brothers and Lan Qingya, were somewhat excited at the prospect of sparring with these experts.

In the crowd, Zhao Ming shrank his neck a little.

It had already been difficult enough for him to barely pass the Patrol Team's assessment, and when he found that the not-so-promising tall and skinny man and short and fat man had become the infamous Iron Hammer Brothers, he was amazed.

But he hadn't lost heart, having succeeded in joining the Patrol Team, and he was confident that in the future, he could become an expert like the Iron Hammer Brothers.

However, upon seeing Shay, Zhao Ming couldn't keep his composure any longer.

Wasn't that the big brother he had thought highly of?

What had Captain Luo said just now? Shay was the deputy captain with formidable strength?

How strong must one be, to be praised by Captain Luo? At least approaching Captain Luo's level, right?

Zhao Ming wore a bitter expression.

He had talked big right up to a big shot, what to do now?

Waiting online, it's urgent!
