Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 115 – Level 6 Light System Evolver

Sun Jing led Lin Fan out of the command hall.

The heavy metal door slid shut silently behind them, cutting off the tense and busy atmosphere inside.

The corridor outside was spacious and bright. The walls and floor were made of a material with a metallic sheen and were spotlessly clean.

“Miss Lei Li, you’re truly so beautiful…”

Sun Jing walked beside Lin Fan, her high black ponytail swaying gently with her steps, her face filled with undisguised awe and admiration.

“When I saw you floating in the sky on the battlefield, I thought a fairy had descended to the mortal world.”

Her words were full of sincerity, without a trace of flattery.

Lin Fan’s rainbow-colored eyes glanced at her, the corners of her mouth lifting into a very faint arc.

“You’re very pretty too.”

This simple compliment made Sun Jing’s cheeks flush slightly, and she smiled a little shyly.

“I… I can’t compare to you.”

“By the way, Miss Lei Li, I heard from Commander Chu Chen that you also established survivor bases in Hang City and Jiang City, sheltering many people.”

Sun Jing’s tone was filled with heartfelt gratitude.

“Thank you so much. In this day and age, there really aren’t many Chosen Ones who are still willing to protect ordinary people.”

Lin Fan didn’t respond to her thanks, instead steering the conversation toward the questions she truly cared about.

“It was nothing.”

“I’m more curious about the situation here.”

“You’re the Second Brigade, so where is the First Brigade?”

At the mention of the “First Brigade,” the smile on Sun Jing’s face faded, replaced by a complex expression mixed with pride, reverence, and deep worry.

“The First Brigade…”

She sighed softly.

“They are the strongest ace squad in our Magic City Base, and even in the entire Federation.”

A hint of yearning appeared in Sun Jing’s eyes.

“While our Second Brigade was still struggling to deal with Level 4 monsters, the First Brigade was already able to easily slay Level 5 demons.”

“Their captain, especially, is a legend in the hearts of all us Chosen Ones.”

Lin Fan’s steps didn’t falter, but her ears carefully caught every word.

“A legend?”

“Yes!” Sun Jing nodded emphatically.

“The First Brigade’s captain is named Lu Yuan, a light-ability user. It’s said that when the apocalypse broke out and he awakened, he skipped right over Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4, directly becoming a Level 5 Evolved being!”

“He’s the only genius in the Federation’s records to awaken as a Level 5!”

Lin Fan’s heart stirred slightly.

A Level 5 right from awakening?

Could this be the person Chen Jinlong spoke of?

“Three months ago, a monster we had never seen before, rated as Level 6, charged out of the Rift.”

Sun Jing’s voice trembled slightly, as if recalling that tragic battle.

“In that battle, our entire defensive line nearly collapsed. The Second Brigade gave it their all, but we could only clear out some of the smaller monsters on the periphery.”

“It was the First Brigade that stepped up.”

“They paid the price of one Level 5 Evolved being sacrificed and seven severely injured to coordinate with Captain Lu Yuan and finally kill that Level 6 demon.”

“And Captain Lu Yuan, after consuming that Level 6 demon’s Crystal, also successfully broke through, becoming the Federation’s one and only Level 6 Evolved being.”

A Level 6 Evolved being.

Deep within Lin Fan’s rainbow-colored eyes, an imperceptible ripple flickered.

She was confident she could win against a Level 5 Evolved being.

But against a Level 6…

“With a Level 6 Evolved being, the pressure on the defensive line should be much less, right?” Lin Fan said nonchalantly.

“Yes,” Sun Jing’s tone became a little more relaxed.

“After Captain Lu Yuan broke through, he was like a human cannon. The laser cannons he released could cover more than half the battlefield. Any monster below Level 5 would be instantly melted upon being hit.”

“We all thought the good days were coming.”

“So, the commander made a bold decision.”

Sun Jing led Lin Fan around a corner. The passage ahead grew wider, and closed doors appeared on both sides.

“What decision?” Lin Fan asked.

“To explore the Rift,” Sun Jing’s voice dropped.

“This Rift opens once a month, spewing out a tidal wave of beasts.”

“But when the tidal wave of beasts begins, we on the outside can actually go in.”

“The higher-ups believed that instead of passive defense, it was better to take the initiative, enter the Rift, and find a way to close it for good.”

Lin Fan’s steps paused for a moment.

“So, the First Brigade went in?”

“Yes.” Sun Jing nodded, the worry in her eyes no longer concealable.

“Less than a month ago, when the last tidal wave of beasts arrived, Captain Lu Yuan led the entire core fighting force of the First Brigade into the Rift.”

“They said they were going to the other side of the Rift to find a future for us humans.”

Sun Jing’s voice grew quieter and quieter, tinged with a sob.

“But…”

“Today, the Rift opened ahead of schedule.”

“And… there’s been no word from the First Brigade.”

“Not a single person has come back.”

Silence fell in the corridor.

Only the soft sound of their two sets of footsteps remained.

Lin Fan understood.

No wonder Chu Chen placed so much importance on her arrival.

The Magic City Base’s strongest ace unit had lost contact, and they were now in desperate need of top-tier combat power to fill the void.

And her appearance came at their weakest moment.

“We’re here.”

Sun Jing stopped in front of a silvery-white metal door.

The environment here was noticeably quieter and tidier than the areas they had just passed through.

“This is the rest area for the higher-ups. They’re all private rooms with their own bathrooms, not like the large dormitories where several of us are crammed into one room.”

Sun Jing smiled, seemingly trying to lighten the mood.

She placed her palm on the scanner next to the door.

With a soft “beep,” the metal door slid open.

“The commander specifically instructed that you be given the best room. We will do our best to meet all your needs.”

Sun Jing made a “please” gesture.

“Miss Lei Li, please come in.”

Lin Fan stepped inside.

The room wasn’t large, but it was very clean.

A soft, large bed, a private bathroom, and even a small wardrobe and desk.

Through the room’s porthole window, one could even see the massive, temporarily sealed Rift in the distance.

“Please rest for a while. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time through the communicator in the room,” Sun Jing said considerately.

“I will bring you dinner.”

Lin Fan nodded slightly.

“Thank you for your trouble.”

Sun Jing smiled and waved her hand before turning to leave.

The metal door closed silently once more.

Inside the room, Lin Fan was left alone.

She walked to the window, her rainbow-colored eyes quietly gazing at the shocking Spatial Rift in the distance.

A Level 6 Evolved being…

Exploring the Rift…

A missing brigade…

The truth of this apocalypse was far more complex and dangerous than she had imagined.

Moreover, she had a faint feeling that there were many holes in the story of this Commander-in-Chief, Chu Chen.

He was definitely hiding many crucial things from her.
