The guards stood watch at the passage.

The North America War Zone had received orders to intercept the other Awakened, and they stared fixedly at the bend in the passage.

They had already stopped many people. Of course, some teams were too large, so they could only let a few through and leave those allied war zones to argue with Chris.

"Pay attention."

"The next group should be Lin An!"

Listening to the disorderly, echoing footsteps, the interception team of more than 160 Awakened wore displeased expressions.

Judging from the rhythm of those footsteps, the people Lin An had brought had most likely ignored their warning.

"Lin An's side probably has around sixty-five people."

"Once the battle starts, kill Lin An first!"

"I heard that kid has quite a lot of equipment and supplies on him. Those are System rewards!"

"Now that the System has weakened everyone's other attributes, send a few more people to surround him when we engage in close combat."

He licked his lips.

The captain standing at the front did not care in the slightest about the battle to come.

His side had more than a hundred people, while Lin An's side could gather only a few dozen at most.

They could crush him through sheer numbers alone.

He made no attempt to conceal his hostility.

In his eyes, Lin An had obstructed them, which made him an enemy.

The moment he finished speaking, the sound of rapid footsteps from around the bend suddenly stopped.

?

They stopped?

Were they afraid?

The thought had barely arisen when a masked man clad in black and red appeared in an instant like a ghost.

The halted footsteps were the prelude to a rainstorm.

There was no time to react.

A deafening sonic boom erupted alongside a blurred afterimage.
