Light and darkness always exist in contrast, and for a long time, people have believed that light represents goodness while darkness embodies evil. However, for Lin Yi and his companions, they despise that beam of light. This disdain feels like being forcibly pushed into the spotlight on stage, struggling in every way yet having to face reality. At this moment, they would rather be like weasels in the dark, never to be discovered by anyone, than to be so scrutinized; darkness is what they desire most.
"In our country, trespassing into military restricted zones can lead you straight to the guillotine!" Kachi's somewhat hoarse voice floated into everyone's ears like a ghostly whisper from hell. Under the intense glare of the searchlight, they could only evade its sharp rays.
Lin Yi licked his dry lips, his throat moving slightly as he pondered something but couldn't pinpoint where it began. The cold sweat slowly soaking his back told him he was somewhat nervous. No one could predict what might happen next; their lives and deaths were no longer controlled by the frenzied Zombies but were truly in the hands of one person. Although they had once cooperated and even shared a close relationship.
"I know you are powerful, but the airport's defenses won't be that simple. As soon as you attempt to resist, we will unleash our ultimate power to destroy you!" Kachi's tone turned iron-fisted when he saw that his opponents remained silent.
"Hmph, if you dare to do that, aren't you afraid of causing Trouble?" Pachy shouted loudly; he wasn't scared—he was just surprised that someone would threaten him so openly.
"The Zombies are a big enough Trouble, right? I'm not afraid of Zombies; what else is there for me to fear?" Kachi's voice shifted from hoarse to resonant and powerful, ignited by Pachy's words.
Lin Yi remained silent or perhaps was waiting for an opportunity. But clearly, Kachi was no fool; he wouldn't leave himself too many chances to escape.
"You have two choices: the first is to serve my country. Weapons, medicine, training—we can provide you with the best. The second is that you will lose your freedom or even your life!" At this moment, Kachi became extremely cold-blooded; his tone was devoid of the politeness he had shown before, filled only with ruthless intent.
Lin Yi felt death closing in on him once again; he didn't want to die and at this moment loathed the threat of death even more.
"Boss, just give me a second! I can control a short blade to cut that guy's throat!" Douglas said fiercely. As the only one present who could possess formidable combat power without using his eyes, he certainly had the right to say so.
"Killing him will mean our deaths too; let's surrender instead—living gives us hope!" Wu Hao stood in the middle of the group with his eyes tightly shut; like any ordinary person, he cherished his life.
Surrendering wasn't shameful; Lin Yi thought about it too. But he feared that from then on he would either become a puppet or be placed under house arrest—both terrifying prospects, even more so than death itself.
"There isn't much time left for you; decide quickly so everyone can rest sooner." Kachi seemed to want to show some humanity, but his words sounded like a death warrant in the ears of the Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps members—utterly detestable.
"How likely are we to escape?" Lin Yi habitually looked back but found the light too blinding to see anything; no one knew who he was asking.
"Having even one person survive would be remarkable," Li Qiweng said slowly with her eyes closed. As for who that person would be, she had already made up her mind long ago.
Li Qiweng had dealt with the military in Lion City before and had a certain understanding of Kachi's firepower; her words were definitely not alarmist.
"Take a minute to consider. If you don't respond, I'll assume you agree to my first proposal. Of course, if you try to escape, even though I value talent, for the dignity of our country, I will have no choice but to make you completely disappear." Kachi's attitude towards Lin Yi and the others was surprisingly good, largely because their combat strength was extraordinarily formidable. If they could make the entire Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps serve them, it would be a wonderful thing.
However, Lin Yi and the others did not think the same way; they were trying to leave, hoping for a final miracle.
A minute can sometimes feel like a century, but most of the time it is fleeting, too short for a person to even space out. Lin Yi did not wait for the miracle he hoped for, or perhaps miracles were simply beyond his reach.
The rhythmic sound of clapping echoed in Lin Yi's ears, but it was quite uncomfortable to listen to.
"Very good. Young people who can endure are rare these days, and those who are capable and can endure like you are even rarer." Kachi seemed pleased but did not let down his guard; his goal was to make these people serve him or their country at the least cost.
Lin Yi exhaled deeply. Perhaps surrendering was the only way out before he figured out an escape route.
Kachi stepped closer, and the light from Searchlight seemed less intense. Lin Yi squinted and vaguely saw that tall figure approaching step by step, a cunning smile creeping onto his lips.
Lin Yi subtly gestured to Douglas. He had no intention of killing Kachi, but Kachi was slowly closing in. Douglas's mental power could control a person's body now, just like when he controlled Woods' shadow, but only if he was close enough.
Kachi's steps were steady as he approached Lin Yi. To Lin Yi's eyes, it looked like a fish was being hooked. After all, he was still young, and he had the passion that young people should have. Surrendering was an act of weakness; however strong Lin Yi felt himself becoming, surrender could not be allowed.
When Kachi came within ten meters of Lin Yi and the others, he suddenly felt an invisible force squeezing his entire body. No matter how hard he tried, it had no effect. But soon he calmed down; as a high-ranking official of a country, he naturally knew about many supernatural occurrences.
Lin Yi looked at Kachi's struggle with some pride; he was curious about what it felt like for Kachi to be trapped in this invisible cage. However, he quickly realized something was off; Kachi did not appear as terrified and helpless as he had imagined.
No one likes to see their proud creation turn into a blunder. Seeing that his calculations did not lead to any unusual reactions from Kachi made Lin Yi feel uneasy; that deep-seated panic made him acutely aware of his own weakness and ignorance.
At that moment, Kachi finally spoke; his voice sounded calm: "After all, you are still young. What you're doing is betting your lives!"
"Rather than being controlled by you, I'd rather fight fiercely! Besides, you'll accompany us to the grave!" Witerson II was eager for action; true soldiers do not fear death.
"Hahaha! Colonel Witerson II, I think you're being too impulsive. This world will ultimately belong to you. As long as you live, you will create glorious history; I am merely a character—my death is nothing to lament. Moreover, it's probably impossible for you to rampage freely here because the firepower is enough to wipe you out dozens of times." Kachi attempted to laugh maniacally, but Douglas's powerful mental force still maintained control over him. Thus, despite his efforts to resist, Kachi's increasingly labored breathing revealed that he too was struggling.
Lin Yi quickly weighed his options in his mind; he had reason to believe Kachi's words. The moment he called out Witerson II's former position, Lin Yi understood that they had been under constant surveillance by the other side. Now that they had taken action, there was no reason for them to let Lin Yi and his group go. Perhaps they possessed some super abilities, but against the machinery of the state, everything would be futile. They were ultimately human—not invincible supermen.
"I wonder how long we need to serve you," Lin Yi said, having thought everything through. His tone was as calm as if he were at a market haggling with a vendor.
Kachi felt the mysterious power controlling his body had vanished. He moved slightly and said, "I know you’re not convinced. If I were in your position, I wouldn’t be either. So to ensure you stay with us, I made some preparations from the moment you arrived. As long as you leave, within ten days, there will be no trace of you left in this world!"
"What do you mean?" Lin Yi's resigned attitude was once again ignited; he despised those who schemed behind others' backs.
"Nothing much, just something everyone does. I've added some chemicals from our Intelligence Agency into your food. The effects are slow to manifest, probably taking about a month," Kachi said casually, but to Lin Yi and the others, it sounded like thunder on a clear day.
"Are you out of your mind?" Jimmy shouted, raising his weapon at Kachi.
"Stop, Jimmy!" Lin Yi knew that since Kachi had come out, it wasn't just to threaten them. Many things could be discussed if given the chance.
"Since you've decided to stay and serve us, naturally we will provide an antidote," Kachi waved his hand behind him, and soon a large group of fully armed soldiers marched in unison toward them.
Kachi gestured for them to proceed. He understood that the other party had decided to comply with him, even if only temporarily; it was still a successful first step.
Lin Yi and the others slowly stepped out of the Cabin, all silent. They walked forward step by step; at that moment, the vast airport felt like a confining Cage.
