Everything had been agreed upon, and there were no lingering questions among the group. Early the next morning, everyone packed their bags, each carrying a large backpack, and then they set out together, the scene bustling with energy.
Outside, they heard two vehicles waiting to take Lin Yi and the others away. Lin Yi did not see Kachi, which left him somewhat puzzled. However, Paul was there this time, looking much better than he had the day before; it seemed this operation had brought him some benefits. But since Lin Yi was leaving, he decided not to dwell on it and simply nodded at Paul with a smile before urging everyone to get into the vehicles quickly.
The ride was smooth and uninterrupted, leading them directly to the Military Airport, where a massive military transport aircraft was parked on the tarmac. Lin Yi checked the number and confirmed it was indeed the one Paul had mentioned on their way. The group was in high spirits; upon seeing the plane, they couldn't wait for the vehicle to come to a stop before shouting and jumping out.
The airport's security forces mistook their excitement for an invasion and raised their weapons in preparation to fire. Fortunately, Paul quickly produced the necessary documentation to clarify the misunderstanding. Lin Yi felt good as well, especially with the expansive view of the airport; he wanted to shout out his pent-up emotions but remembered that as the leader of the Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps, he needed to maintain some decorum.
Everyone politely bid farewell to Paul and the airport security personnel before rushing onto the aircraft like a whirlwind. Perhaps they were already imagining their future joyful times together; they were all excitedly scrambling for seats. Lin Yi noticed the security team looking disdainfully at his members and felt embarrassed, quickly retreating to cover his face. It seemed this Military Aircraft had been specially prepared for them; as soon as everyone boarded, it took off without delay.
A tremendous roar filled the air as the plane ascended at a terrifying speed almost straight up into the sky. Paul squinted at it for a moment before it vanished into the clouds.
The aircraft was equipped with advanced communication systems, allowing them to connect with the outside world. Since Lin Yi and his team were now part of Free Voice, there were no restrictions on them aboard the plane. Many had been away from home for a long time without contacting friends or family, so Lin Yi encouraged them to reach out one by one to let their loved ones know they were safe and also check in on friends. Among those from Witerson Combat Camp, only Akin managed to contact an aunt living in Kenya's capital; others couldn't reach any friends. The members of Blood Wolf Mercenary Group stated that everyone they knew was already present, so there was no need for further contact. As for Jones Douglas and others, their expressions varied; it was clear from their faces that bad news outweighed good news.
The atmosphere grew somewhat tense until it was Lin Yi's turn. He connected with his parents via video call. His mother happened to be at home, and he simply informed them that he was working outside and everything was fine. His father was naturally busy elsewhere. His mother reminded him several times to eat well and stay warm while also mentioning how business had been tough lately due to the emergence of Zombies. Lin Yi seized an opportunity to cut off her rambling; he felt quite tired and only wanted to know that they were doing well.
Finally, Li Qiweng quickly reached out to her father. However, he was still preoccupied with work and hurriedly informed her that they could not return to Lion City but would be going to France instead before ending the call.
Li Qiweng felt somewhat upset by her father's apparent lack of concern for her; irritation bubbled within her. Although Lin Yi wanted to comfort her, he too felt unsettled by her father's destination.
Everyone heard Li's father's words clearly; there was no need for further explanation from Lin Yi. They had hoped to return to Lion City together for a brief respite but now realized they could only go to France, leaving them feeling somewhat bewildered. However, Ika, being of Eurasian descent, appeared particularly excited at the prospect of going to France rather than returning home.
Before long, Li Qiweng received another message from Li's father stating that there was a training camp in France co-established by Lion City and the French government. They would be able to settle there upon arrival, with someone designated to meet them at the airport.
Since everything wasn't too bad, the members of the Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps wouldn't dwell on it any longer. Most of them were seasoned individuals who naturally wouldn't let a few matters affect their mood.
The supersonic plane flew through the air at a terrifying speed, preparing to land in just thirty minutes. According to the latest news, due to effective defensive measures, the entire French Republic was now peaceful. This news was met with loud cheers; those who had experienced the ravages of war knew how fortunate it was to have tranquility.
As the Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps disembarked from the plane, they spotted someone holding a sign with Li Qiweng's name at the exit. Lin Yi couldn't help but marvel at the efficiency of this person, as if they had been prepared in advance.
The moment they noticed him, he quickly approached them. Upon getting closer, they realized he was a lanky individual, nearly six feet tall, appearing even taller than Pachy from a distance. As Lin Yi watched this slender figure approach swiftly, he felt an increased sense of pressure regarding his own height.
"Sister Li, Mr. Lin, and everyone else, welcome to Corsica!" The lanky man performed a very standard gentleman's bow, slightly bending forward with a gentle tone.
"May I ask your name?" Perhaps due to his recent surge in combat power, Lin Yi sensed a powerful energy within this slender man that seemed ready to unleash itself. He found himself wanting to get to know this person better but forgot to inquire about their future arrangements.
"Just call me by my code name, Taishan!" The lanky man provided a name that everyone found particularly awkward; it seemed strange for someone so frail to have such a strong-sounding code name.
Lin Yi didn't mind much, but he felt that this lanky man truly deserved the name Taishan.
Taishan acted decisively; seeing that no one had further questions, he led everyone onto a minibus and headed straight for the airport exit. Most of them were stepping onto French soil for the first time and were utterly captivated by the exotic scenery. Many were even distracted by alluring French beauties throwing flirtatious glances at Lin Yi and others peeking out of the windows, causing quite a stir among them. Just as Lin Yi intended to enjoy this foreign charm, Li Qiweng pulled him back into the middle of the bus, making it impossible for him to see the beauties anymore.
Having not encountered such a relaxed and lively atmosphere in a long time, everyone's spirits were particularly high. Coupled with Lin Yi's occasional blunders, laughter filled the bus.
Though the journey was long, they saw vibrant young people along the way instead of rotting zombies, which kept their spirits up. There was plenty of playful banter during the ride, and they nearly broke the bus several times with their antics. When they finally reached downtown, everyone eagerly requested to stop for shopping. Unfortunately, this area had never been threatened by zombies and thus had no concept of Contribution Points. Fortunately, they eventually found a large bank that supported currency exchange and managed to convert some euros after quite a bit of effort. Lin Yi decided that aside from keeping 0000 Contribution Points for team expenses, he would distribute over one hundred Contribution Points to each member—equivalent to over one hundred grams of gold—worth several thousand euros enough for them to buy plenty of things.
Knowing everyone had been itching to spend money, Lin Yi announced after distributing cash that they had three hours of free time before gathering for training camp.
France is known as the City of Romance. When Lin Yi arrived in this country and experienced the serene and peaceful atmosphere, he suddenly had a personal thought. For the entire world, his idea was incredibly ordinary, but for him personally, it was something he would cherish for a lifetime.
At that moment, Li Qiweng's youthful spirit fully erupted. She disregarded her usual cool demeanor and grabbed Lin Yi, dragging him through the streets in excitement. However, Lin Yi felt somewhat displeased that Taishan was trailing behind them, still there to protect them. He scoffed inwardly, thinking that with Li Qiweng's god-like combat abilities and his own elite Special Forces-level fighting skills, they were not easily harmed by ordinary people.
"You don't need to trouble yourself anymore; you've worked hard enough. Go find somewhere else to have fun!" Lin Yi waved his hand dismissively at Taishan. Although he wore a smile, the disdain on his face was clear to anyone.
Li Qiweng understood that Taishan was only doing his duty, so she told him to keep a distance. Taishan clearly valued her words and immediately stepped back several meters after she finished speaking.
Once Lin Yi saw the tailing figure had left, he felt a wave of relief wash over him. He took Li Qiweng from shop to shop, aimlessly wandering. For them—who were always busy and exhausted—this moment felt like pure bliss. Li Qiweng wanted to try everything she saw, leaving Lin Yi unsure of how to execute his plans. Fortunately, the city wasn't very large, and he quickly found the store he was looking for. With excitement, he led Li Qiweng inside.
After initially being surprised, Li Qiweng looked at Lin Yi with a sweet expression and happily kissed him on the lips.
Lin Yi didn't know how to express his feelings; he just chuckled awkwardly. Seeing his reaction made Li Qiweng burst into laughter. "Silly, you finally know how to take action." With that, she wiped away the tears that had long been flowing from her eyes…
