HCB Chapter 1281 The Commander from Another World
Chapter 1281 The Commander from Another World
Lin Zhen's words caused Yue Fei's lips to twitch violently.
Be polite?
Your Highness, you just blasted people to ashes with a flick of your finger, yet now you expect me to be "polite" to the survivors?
The contrast is so striking that it's hard to keep up.
But he dared not ask any further questions, and instead clasped his hands in a fist and shouted, "Yes!"
Yue Fei mustered a group of men and charged into the still-smoking forest with murderous intent.
It is very efficient.
Moments later, a dozen ambushers, covered in dust and mutilated, were dragged back to the camp like dead dogs.
Among the prisoners, one woman stood out.
She wore a silver-white, tight-fitting combat uniform, more ornate than that of ordinary soldiers, with a gold badge on her shoulder symbolizing her rank.
With her tall, curvaceous figure and stunning curves, even in this disheveled state, her wild charm is undeniable.
Her brilliant blonde hair was casually tied back, revealing a stunningly beautiful face with sharp features.
But on that face, all that remained was pure horror and incomprehension.
Her sapphire-blue eyes were fixed on the nonchalant Eastern man by the campfire.
Deep in their eyes was a fear a hundred times more intense than that of the other prisoners.
She couldn't figure it out.
I really can't figure it out.
why?
They are the elite from the "second quadrant," a powerful faction ranked among the top ten in the "Nihilistic Party" alliance!
Their technology was at least five centuries ahead of this indigenous world!
She herself, Alita Rothschild, was a military genius, a once-in-a-century talent in the family!
But now this perfect "hunt" has been completely wiped out by a group of "monkeys" in her eyes.
The defeat was so bizarre, so absurd!
Especially that man!
Disassembling an energy weapon with bare hands?
Reverse takeover of system control?
Can the physical body withstand a barrage of energy beams?
This unscientific!
This was beyond her comprehension!
"You, are they their leader?"
A cold, emotionless voice rang in her ear.
Alita suddenly looked up, staring warily at Lin Zhen who had walked up to her.
She opened her mouth and said in a haughty and fluent ancient Greek, "You lowly native, you are not worthy to speak with me."
She tried to use this language of despair to preserve her last shred of dignity and to deflate the other party's arrogance.
However, the confusion she had anticipated did not materialize.
The man smiled.
He, in a more standard, more ancient, almost divinely inspired ancient Greek, lazily retorted:
"is it?"
"That little Rothschild girl has quite the nerve."
"Your ancestors, who only know how to hide behind the scenes and manipulate money and conspiracies, would have to respectfully address me as 'sir' when they see me."
Lin Zhen's voice was soft, but every word was piercing.
"You, a mere child, dare to flaunt your laughable family prestige in front of me?"
"You dare to challenge me?"
The last three words struck Alita's soul like a heavy hammer blow!
She froze completely.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
In those proud blue eyes, the emotion called "fear" finally broke through the dam, shattering all pretense.
How could he...?
How can he speak Ancient Greek?!
How could he know my surname, or even the family's biggest secret?!
The Rothschild family is the most mysterious financial empire in their "second quadrant" world; their very existence is taboo!
No one outside the faction's core could possibly know this!
This man...
Who is he? !
A thought that chilled her to the bone surged wildly into her mind.
"Who...who are you?!" Her voice was sharp and distorted with extreme fear.
"I?"
Lin Zhen smiled, a smile that was unfathomable.
"Just a passing traveler."
He walked up to Alita and looked down at her, his deep eyes gleaming with a knowing light.
Tell me, what is the purpose of your visit?
"Tell me, what is the 'core of the world'?"
"Tell me, and maybe I can leave you a whole corpse."
Lin Zhen's tone was calm, yet it contained an undeniable authority, like a final judgment.
However, after a brief breakdown, a resolute, cold smile reappeared on Alita's face.
"You want to get information from me?"
"dream!"
Before she finished speaking, her still-functioning right hand discreetly pressed a decorative silver bracelet on her wrist!
She knew she was doomed.
Even in death, she would never utter a single word to this mysterious and terrifying man!
She was determined to defend her family's last vestige of dignity with her death!
At the same time, it also serves as a final warning to the family in another world!
In this world, there are "kindred spirits"!
A super "kind" that is far more terrifying and unfathomable than they imagined!
Murong Yan stood quietly behind Lin Zhen. She couldn't understand their conversation, but she could read a familiar resolve in the blonde woman's eyes.
That belongs to those in power; they would rather die than submit.
She wore a dark black phoenix descending to earth dress, with a giant phoenix embroidered in gold thread on the hem. In the firelight, her phoenix eyes were cold and indifferent as she watched everything before her.
A five-zhang-long, dark gold trail, like a giant net woven by power, silently enveloped this camp of blood and fire.
"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!"
A sharp, piercing alarm suddenly blared from Alita's wrist!
On the bracelet, a red dot is flashing wildly at a heart-stopping speed!
"Oh no! Your Highness! She's going to self-destruct!"
Yue Fei's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively rushed forward to protect Lin Zhen and Murong Yan.
However, at this critical moment.
The Eastern man, whom everyone thought was in dire straits, once again made a move that left everyone speechless.
Facing the self-destruct device that could level an area of a hundred meters, Lin Zhen's face remained completely calm.
He merely glanced at the wildly pulsating red dot on Alita's wrist.
Shake his head.
That look in his eyes was pure pity.
"It's that same old trick again."
His voice was overflowing with contempt and disdain.
"Can't your Rothschild family come up with something new?"
The moment he finished speaking, to everyone's horrified gaze, he didn't retreat but instead extended his hand.
His movements were not fast.
Everyone present could clearly see how that slender, white hand with distinct knuckles slowly approached the death beacon that was about to devour everything.
A strange scene happened.
Alita, who had fallen into a final frenzy and was determined to perish together with others, was frozen in place and unable to move.
It's not that she doesn't want to move.
It can't move!
An invisible, mountain-like pressure tightly bound her body, her will, and every single cell of her body!
She couldn't even move her little finger.
She could only watch helplessly as that hand, that hand that grew larger and larger in her vision, representing the final judgment, landed on her fair wrist, where she wore the self-destruct bracelet.
The surface was icy cold to the touch.
Lin Zhen's fingers moved.
They are like the most precise scalpels with independent life, rapidly leaping across those complex energy nodes filled with micro-circuits.
Disassembly.
Reorganization.
disconnect.
connection.
His every movement carries a rhythm and beauty that transcends comprehension.
That's not defusing a super bomb.
It was a magnificent death symphony played on the fingertips, from the other side of the starry sea.
"Di-"
The urgent, piercing alarm came to an abrupt halt.
The frantically flashing red dot went out instantly.
The world fell silent once again.
Lin Zhen let go.
The ultimate self-destruct device, which Alita considered more sturdy than life and more reliable than faith, and which was painstakingly crafted by her family's top scientists, was reduced to a pile of scrap metal.
"Wow."
Parts were scattered all over the floor.
Alita was completely stunned.
She looked at her empty wrist, then at the pile of unrecognizable metal scraps on the ground.
At this moment, her worldview was shattered once again by the incredible miracle of the man in front of her!
