Chapter 1046: Chapter 1042: Transform 7

"So, you’re the director of the sanctuary, huh? I’m honestly surprised. In this post-apocalyptic outbreak, it’s my first time seeing someone ordinary in charge. I’m really curious, how did you manage to land yourself in this position?"

Lin Jie made an exaggerated face that resembled a stand-up comedian, then pointed with his finger at the dozen or so people who were being held at gunpoint by the Level 4 New Humans behind him.

"Could it be because of their support? Hahaha. That’s just ridiculous!"

The director of the sanctuary didn’t say a word. It wasn’t so much that he chose not to speak, but more that he simply couldn’t utter a single word!

He was an ordinary person, and although Lin Jie had deliberately slowed his attack to avoid killing him with one blow, the strength of a Level 7 New Human, even at its weakest, was not to be underestimated!

Even a seemingly light punch from Lin Jie had displaced his internal organs and caused severe trauma!

The excruciating pain made it impossible for him to speak, and compared to those above ground, the people in the sanctuary hadn’t faced many tests of human nature. The presence of the simulated ecological system allowed the residents of the sanctuary to live self-sufficiently, without committing sins due to the threats of survival conditions. The only instance was when some New Humans, dissatisfied with the limited benefits their power brought them, attempted to instigate a coup.

But overall, the moral integrity of the people in the sanctuary still existed, so the position of director had never changed—it had always been him, from the beginning until now!

Despair filled the director’s eyes. He should have warned the people of the sanctuary not to trust those from above ground, but it was all too late. A devil had entered from the outside, and Sun Wen and the others, they were already under control. Everything was too late; the power of this devil was simply not something humans could resist!

He felt powerless to change the outcome; that was the mood of the sanctuary’s director at this moment.

"Now, you’re no longer the director, understand? From now on, I will be your director! My name is Lin Jie!"

Lin Jie spoke menacingly to the director, then his gaze turned to Sun Wen, saying, "Open it."

Sun Wen nodded, activated the broadcast, and then passed Lin Jie a microphone shaped like a bowl.

Lin Jie chuckled, blew into the microphone, and then said, "Dear residents, I believe you are all aware of what’s happened in the sanctuary. Yes, an intruder has come to the sanctuary! That intruder is me! But I have some very bad news for you—starting today, your beloved director will be replaced. The next director, that’s me!"

"How do you feel, excited? Happy? Does it feel like it’s the New Year? Hahahaha..."

Lin Jie’s laughter echoed throughout the sanctuary. In each and every rest room, survivors huddled together, listening in despair to the broadcast that announced the devil this surface patrol had brought into the sanctuary!

When Lin Jie began his slaughter, all tasks within the sanctuary stopped, and all combatants were called to arms. But soon, as news of the invader, suspected to be a Level 7 Evolutionary Body, spread, everyone despaired.

In their minds, the single Level 5 Evolutionary Body in the sanctuary already possessed near-apocalyptic powers. What then of a Level 7 Evolutionary Body—could it be a god?

"Don’t worry, I won’t be like the previous director. I have only one requirement as director...."

As he spoke, Lin Jie casually grabbed the director’s neck and with one yank, the former director’s neck was twisted, cutting off his life before even a scream could escape. The sound of him killing the director entered the ears of every person in the sanctuary via the broadcast, intensifying their panic, while Lin Jie continued, "As director, I only have one requirement—that all of you must obey me. Those who don’t, who wish to resist me... Hehe~"

Lin Jie paused, and his voice, so chillingly sinister at that moment, was enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.

"I hear that when you entered the sanctuary, you all brought your families with you, right? It’s a whole family affair, isn’t it?"

Lin Jie was not mistaken; in the early stages of the post-apocalyptic outbreak, those who entered the sanctuary did so with their entire families, especially those whose professions were beneficial to the development of the sanctuary. Considering humanitarian aspects, it was natural to let their family members enter as well. After all, in China, the concept of family is very important—you allow one person in, naturally, you let their family join them. If not, it might lead many to choose the hazards of surface life rather than enter a sanctuary without their loved ones.

Therefore, in the sanctuary, everyone had their own family.

Lin Jie’s words caused all the residents to feel a growing anxiety. What was this devil planning to do?

He didn’t leave them wondering for long, soon continuing, "If anyone refuses to listen, to follow my orders, then I will dismember you, turn you into cute, lovely dolls, and gift them to your children. Hahahahaha!"

Lin Jie’s laughter was filled with madness, making everyone shiver. This was a devil wearing human skin, crawled straight out of hell!

Just as Lin Jie finished speaking, a shrill noise came from above. Lin Jie frowned and looked up, only to see numerous chains sliding across the ceiling. Then, a cage plummeted rapidly, swinging towards him!

With narrowed eyes, the Level 7 New Human’s vision was astonishing; he immediately spotted someone high above, manipulating the winch controlling the descending cage.

The cage flew towards Lin Jie. The people in front of him noticed this and were stricken with terror.

"Get away!"

Sun Wen yelled, taking the lead and bolting to the side. But the next second, his legs gave way, and his head inexplicably felt woozy, as if his thoughts had blanked out in an instant. Fortunately, he quickly recovered as the cage swept past, its draft disheveling his hair.

He dodged in time, but his face showed confusion; what had just happened? It was such a bizarre sensation, as if something had suddenly and viciously yanked his soul out.

"This..." He couldn’t comprehend what had just happened, why he suddenly felt that way, the feeling was so strange, as though something had indeed seized his soul out of the blue.

As Sun Wen pondered, several cries of agony rang out nearby; a few Level 4 New Humans were too slow to dodge and were struck directly by the swiftly descending and swaying cage, including Old Guo, who was seriously injured and knocked to the ground. One even had his head burst open like an overripe watermelon from the cage’s impact!

The cage swept past the group controlled by Lin Jie, carrying a headless corpse straight for him. Over there, Lin Jie saw that the cage held a silver zombie.

"Silver? And still a zombie? A silver-armored zombie?"
