The moment the voice came out, the whole battlefield that was filled with all sorts of growls went silent for a second.
Tang Ling instinctively turned around and saw Castellan Worf step on his strange flying device and fly into the sky above the garage area.
His black mantle fluttered fiercely in the night breeze, making him look like a god on the battlefield despite his average height.
"Damn it! Did he notice me?" Tang Ling was not scared by his image. He even thought too highly of himself. Who would notice a little ant like him on a dark hill on a messy battlefield?
Instinctively, he laid down and decided to shamelessly crawl to the other side of the hill.
Worf did not get any reply. He chuckled coldly and slowly raised his fist. Then, he stepped on the flying device and plunged down.
In a split second, his fist was covered in a huge black glow as he plunged into the sea of zombies.
The sky and the ground seemed to have gone silent for a second. With Worf in the center, the zombies within a 300-meter radius shone with a long black glow. The growling zombies started to split into pieces without a sound. Strangely, they fell in large groups in an orderly manner.
Then, the black glow sank into the ground beneath the zombies. A violent tremor followed, followed by a heavy thud like an earthquake.
The tremors jolted Tang Ling who was lying on the hill, and he almost threw up.
"What the … Pfft! What the …" Tang Ling wanted to scold, but the moment he opened his mouth, he spat out the water that he had poured into his mouth.
Powerful? Does he not care about the feelings of the weak? Tang Ling was not a reasonable person, so he naturally blamed Worf even though the others did not know about his existence.
However, in the next moment, Tang Ling did not care about being angry anymore. Dumbfounded, he looked at the garage area below the hill in disbelief.
The garage area was no longer what it used to be. After the punch, Worf stood calmly at the spot where his fist landed while the shuttle-shaped flying device hovered behind him.
Tang Ling felt like he would never forget this scene for the rest of his life.
Under the Purple Moon, Worf looked like he was standing on an isolated island with his black mantle draped over his shoulders.
Within a 100-meter radius, other than where he was standing, the ground had collapsed and the cracks had spread to the whole garage area.
If that was all, he would not have been so shocked and unforgettable.
More importantly, Worf's punch allowed him to see the answer. The answer to the mystery of the garage was hidden underground.
That's right, the ground was empty!
Following the collapse of the ground, a large underground space was revealed. It was similar to the sewers of the old civilization in the settlement, and there were obviously man-made tunnels and caves that connected the underground space together.
In this space, there were countless zombies!
'Is this the source of the endless zombies in the garage area?' Was this the reason why the Zombie King had suddenly disappeared?
So they were all hidden underground!
Who built this underground space on the foundations of the old civilization's underwater project? Who could have hidden so many zombies in the underground space without a sound? The zombies had no intelligence, so how could it be easy to command them?
Also, how did the Zombie King and the elites around it hide in the underground space?
Tang Ling's clenched fists were trembling. The vague thought that flashed in his mind and was suppressed suddenly became clear.
Who else could it be? It was him! It must be him! That silver-haired man in the black robe! With that special method of his, did he have a hand in this?
Could his enemy have been hiding in Safety Sector No. 17 all this while? Hatred burned in Tang Ling's heart. At the same time, indescribable anxiety intertwined in his heart.
The anxiety was understandable because such a huge underground project was completed right under the nose of the strongest Hope Barrier in Safety Sector No. 17.
What did it mean? It could only mean one thing. Safety Sector No. 17 had either traitors or spies.
Tang Ling still had to stay in Safety Sector No. 17 and grow in the Hope Barrier.
Did Castellan Worf know about this? What was he thinking? Since he was able to break this place with a single punch, he must know something, right? If he knew, why didn't he stop it?
Tang Ling realized that things were complicated. Or was the world a little complicated? Was it so complicated that he could not understand it?
"I'll say it one more time. Stop it right now! Do you still want to act as if nothing has happened after the cloak has been torn off? "Worf stood on the spot, but his voice got louder and echoed throughout the battlefield ruins.
At the same time, Andrew, who had calmed down, started to feel anxious again, but he was a lot calmer than before.
The castellan must know something.
But … Andrew came up with more than three possibilities. Each of them matched the current situation, but none of them would affect what he was worried about.
Therefore, he calmed down and told Hank softly, "Let's go. Let's go back. This show is about to come to an end. "
"But the castellan seems to know something." Hank's expression turned sour. The castellan's power made him think of only one possibility — a Purple Moon Warrior who had broken through the shackles.
If the castellan knew something, would Andrew not be in danger? Hank had a feeling that he could not protect Andrew with his current strength.
"It's fine. It's not strange that he knows something and it's easy to think of it. However, it doesn't involve the inner circle of Safety Sector No. 17. Even if it does, the castellan won't simply do anything. He has his own considerations and will fall into a dilemma. Trust me. "Andrew caressed Hank's blonde hair and said calmly with a smile.
It was still hard for Tang Ling to change his childhood habit. Hank always cried, so all he had to do was touch his head.
Now, he could not touch Hank's head anymore, but he could not get rid of the habit when Hank was restless.
Andrew's words calmed Hank down, so he did not ask anymore. He nodded and said, "Let's go back then. It's been a long night and we've wasted a lot of cultivation time. "
Of course, Tang Ling did not know how Andrew and Hank felt because he was engulfed by a huge anxiety. Countless details and clues were intertwined in his mind, and he could not sort them all out at once.
He wondered if Worf's words would work. However, he could not wait for the show to end.
What would happen next was unpredictable, so he instinctively wanted to avoid it. At least at this stage, he did not want to be dragged into the mess.

"Yo, yo, yo … Worf Andal seems to have become stronger again?" On one of the hills in the Herrocky Mountain Range, someone was talking to Worf.
The four figures in black robes and white masks who had been standing on the hill since the battle at the garage were still standing on the same spot.
After witnessing Worf's stunning performance, the mysterious voice praised him, but his tone didn't seem to care too much.
"Your plan has failed." The monster-like figure didn't care about the eccentric compliment as he calmly commented in a strange and jerky tone.
"Don't worry about it. We didn't expect it to succeed anyway." The one who spoke was the person who had explained to the monster-like figure. He was not disappointed by the situation. Just like what he said, he was prepared to be invincible regardless of the outcome.
"What about now? Do we have to care about Worf's words? " Although the crisis at the garage was solved, the battle around the Universal Source Rock was still ongoing. The other human in the black robe seemed a little anxious.
Worf brought 20 elite Purple Moon Warriors with him and managed to stabilize the situation, but the beasts and mutated insects were endless. If this continued, even the elite Purple Moon Warriors would not be able to hold on for much longer.
Therefore, there was only one option left — an all-out war. It would be the fiercest and longest war.
However, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Worf wanted the Hope Barrier to regain its peace and catch its breath, so an all-out war would be the worst option.
"This question … is a little hard to choose? I have to admit that Worf is a smart guy. He knows how to size up the situation and strike a balance. Hehehe … "At this moment, the one who spoke was the silhouette with a slightly sarcastic tone.
"Then … My lord, what should we do?" The voice who had explained everything to the monster could not help but ask the strange figure. It seemed like the strange figure was the leader of the four figures.
"Choose? There is no choice because we can't achieve our initial goal anymore. Do you really want a portion of the Universal Source Stone to be divided up by those brainless things? "he replied sarcastically.
"Then, should we stop the war right now? Should we pretend that nothing has happened? "The person who asked the question needed the final answer from the strange figure.
"No, we haven't gotten the promised benefits yet. We've paid a price for this war. Worf must have forgotten about our involvement, so we have to face his wrath. "The monster could not help but speak in dissatisfaction.
The person who asked the question seemed to have lost his patience after the monster's dissatisfaction. He said calmly, "We have our own arrangements for your benefits. Even if we stop the war now, we have ways to let you get your benefits. "
"Are you sure? That's three tons of Universal Source Rock we're talking about. Now that Worf is back, the council no longer has the highest authority in Safety Sector No. 17. Do your arrangements still have that much value? If Worf denies it … "The monster had a hard time uttering such a long sentence.
The person who asked the question did not have the patience to continue. He waved his hand to stop the monster and said, "Now that Worf is back, our arrangements will only be more valuable. Don't underestimate the bargaining chip that we've given you. If Worf doesn't care about it, he wouldn't be in that position.
Maybe it's because Worf is back. You can even get five tons of Universal Source Rock. "
The monster kept quiet after the answer.
The person who asked the question looked at the strange figure again with a respectful tone. "Then, my lord, is this a total ceasefire?"
"Hmph, other than that? You know what I want very well. But after the ceasefire, there are some things like seizing the opportunity to clean up the mess. If you can't do it well, then … hehehe … "The strange figure finally gave a definite answer.
His tone was calm, but it made the person who asked the question shiver.
On the other hand, the strange figure did not care about the person's feelings. He flung his black robe and leaped away, vanishing into the night sky.
"Five tons of Universal Source Rock." After the strange figure vanished, the monster took a few steps forward and arrived at the edge of the hill. He reminded the person who asked the question before he jumped off the hill.
There were originally four black-robed figures on the hill, but only two were left.
It was then that the person who asked the question spoke to the other figure, "Activate the failed plan. Stop the war first."
"But my lord, are we just going to give him five tons of Universal Source Rock? We agreed on three tons. "The other figure's tone was filled with unwillingness. He seemed to hate the monster." That's right.
"There's an old saying in the Dongsheng Continent. Those who achieve great things don't bother about the trifles. It's just five tons of Universal Source Rock. Didn't you notice a problem? The lord that we follow doesn't even care about a whole piece of Universal Source Rock, let alone five tons. "The person who asked the question had always been observant.
"What do you mean?"
"What else can it mean? As long as we follow him with determination, we'll get more benefits than the Universal Source Rock in the future. After all, the world has changed. Maybe only the frogs at the bottom of the well care about the Universal Source Rock. " After saying this, the person who asked the question also walked down the hill. His figure followed his voice and soon disappeared into the night.
**
Tang Ling carefully climbed to the top of the hill. He purposely climbed a little longer to avoid the searchlight.
As long as he climbed over the top, the other side of the hill would be out of the searchlight's range.
Then, he could speed up and return to the Hope Barrier as soon as possible.
I wonder if I'm hallucinating or not? Tang Ling sensed a faint, sweet scent lingering in the air.
Was it because he was so hungry that even the air tasted good?
A strange thought popped up in Tang Ling's mind. He was indeed hungry, but this hunger was different from the ferocious hunger that came from his bones. This hunger was his own hunger.
The subtle difference was something that only Tang Ling could feel.
As for why 'it' was not hungry, Tang Ling thought it had something to do with the crystal that he had swallowed.
On top of that, the strong desire for the crystal back then must have been 'it' controlling him.
Tang Ling could only interpret it as' it 'sensing the danger of weakening, so it had to replenish its energy regardless of the danger.
Otherwise, when he got the crystal from the Level 3 mutated mantis, 'it' did not have the desire to swallow it. Combined with the note that the person left him, with Tang Ling's intelligence, he easily came to a conclusion. Unless it was absolutely necessary, swallowing the crystal was extremely dangerous.
However, was there no benefit at all? Tang Ling looked a little excited. He already had a vague answer about it and was eager to give it a try.
