The stronger the ability, the heavier the responsibility. Lin Yi had turned down many people, but he could not refuse the envoy from the Kremlin. He had to treat him well. The Polar Bear always adhered to the principle of friendship: if you are not a friend, then you are an enemy! For someone as formidable as Lin Yi and his team, any force would try to get involved. However, this time the Kremlin faced a setback due to Charlie's presence. Although Charlie was not significant on his own, his father Aibolon was the Chairman of this year's Global Security Conference. If Charlie were to expose the Kremlin's attempts to coerce Lin Yi at the conference, even the Polar Bear would find it hard to face global condemnation.
Nevertheless, the Polar Bear was always strong-willed. Although they couldn't push too hard because of Charlie, they still caused some trouble during Pachy's arms procurement period. In the end, Lin Yi had no choice but to send Wu Hao and Jerry to handle the procurement. Of course, the three of them worked together swiftly, completing all necessary weapon purchases without any procedural violations. Even if the Polar Bear later discovered some clues about this matter, they would have no grounds to take action.
The Mercenary Alliance also assigned Lin Yi a new mission: they would assist the Greater Paris Defense Zone's Armed Division in a major military operation to eliminate a regional Zombie threat.
Currently, there were only three major defense zones left on the European continent: Greater London Defense Zone, Greater Paris Defense Zone, and Greater Moscow Defense Zone. Most remaining European countries had relocated their Exiled Governments to these three defense zones, while some others formed a coalition army in Brussels, representing nearly every nation! This time, the Greater London Defense Zone and Greater Paris Defense Zone decided to unite with Brussels' coalition army. They aimed to clear Zombies from three directions and connect London, Paris, and Brussels into a common human front! By doing so, the combined strength of these three locations could form a more powerful force to eradicate Zombies!
Lin Yi's mission was to lead his Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps from the Greater Paris Defense Zone and assist in advancing together with its forces to eliminate all Zombies in the triangular area. Although this mission was vast, military forces across nations had exploded in growth; those Zombies were strong but faced with Iron Torrent's might, the commanders of the joint operation were confident in their success!
The departure of one thousand personnel was directly via Aerial Giant Transporters. However, due to precautions taken by the Polar Bear, Lin Yi had no choice but to use communication tools for contact, resulting in him spending ten million Contribution Points just to rent two Aerial Giant Transporters! It was worth noting that when Li Qiweng rented a similar Sky Giant in the Greater Paris Defense Zone, it cost just over one hundred million Contribution Points; clearly, the Polar Bear was being deliberately difficult! However, Lin Yi reminded himself that he was a billionaire. Coupled with an instinctive sense of danger here, he swallowed his pride and took all members along with weapons from the Global Security Conference's arsenal.
The threat of Undead Birds still loomed large. Since these Undead Birds had already undergone Corpseification, their reliance on air was nearly nonexistent. The powerful Undead Birds could fly at stratospheric altitudes. Thus, this time the Aerial Giant Transporters launched at maximum speed into low Earth orbit and landed at the Greater Paris Defense Zone's massive Military Airport within minutes. This strategy maximized their chances of avoiding encounters with Undead Birds and prevented catastrophic losses.
Upon arriving at the Greater Paris Defense Zone, they were greeted by an old acquaintance—Will. In just a year’s time, this familiar face had risen from Colonel to Brigadier General! This promotion reflected how intense battles had been; too many lives were lost, naturally leading to quicker advancements for those who survived.
In one year’s time, Will had changed significantly; his once pristine chin now bore stubble and his cheekbones were more pronounced due to weight loss—he exuded an air of maturity. When he saw Ying Sa again, he managed a polite nod instead of losing control as he had before and promptly greeted Lin Yi.
The reception center where Lin Yi stayed before still stood intact; so did the barracks where large troops were accommodated. Although Lin Yi brought back three hundred more people this time, it was barely sufficient. Every available space in the Greater Paris Defense Zone was filled with people bustling about.
The once vibrant Champs-Élysées now appeared particularly desolate as people dedicated themselves to resisting Zombies and had no leisure time for shopping!
Will informed Lin Yi that they would rest and prepare for an attack early the next morning. At that time, half of the military forces in the Paris Defense Zone would mobilize with a determination that left no room for failure.
Although he could take a break, Lin Yi still had many matters to attend to. Despite having ten captains and twenty vice captains under him, he felt uneasy. These individuals were all fierce competitors, and Lin Yi worried that they might cause trouble when gathered together.
Li Qiweng continued to complain about Lin Yi's "infidelity," but since their meeting, they had hardly left each other's sight. Aside from a few people resting at the lodge, Lin Yi, Li Qiweng, and Jian went directly to the camp assigned to them by the Paris Defense Center.
The long-absent Lone Wolf, also known as 46, remained very obedient to Lin Yi's commands. His former subordinates had begun to notice something unusual, but upon realizing that even someone as powerful as Lone Wolf was under Lin Yi's control, they pretended not to see it. In this chaotic world, following a strong leader was still a wise choice.
Moreover, Lin Yi discovered that the original seven hundred had all broken through their limitations and reached Star-Level Combat Power. After Lin Yi's departure, they had continued to take on various missions to earn commissions and subsequently purchased drugs that could unlock their potential from the command center. The efficacy of these drugs was much lower than the Potential Gene Drug Lin Yi had taken before, resulting in a much "milder" effect. However, the Iron-Blooded Mercenaries were willing to overlook this for the sake of gaining powerful combat abilities. These low-tier Potential Unleasher drugs required intense training, so whenever they accepted missions to eliminate zombies, they would take these potential-enhancing drugs during combat to improve themselves! Their training was also quite brutal; each team leader would train everyone’s strength and speed in the most rigorous manner possible.
Typically, Lone Wolf acted as the forceful leader, leading everyone in attacks while Wu Hao took on a role similar to that of a strategist, assisting Lone Wolf in formulating tactics. After all, the zombies they faced were mostly under the control of intelligent zombies, making their battles akin to fighting sentient beings.
After more than half a year of effort, aside from a few who had died in battle, everyone successfully advanced to Star-Level Combat Power. Those who had previously taken higher-tier Potential Gene Drugs—like Ika, Jiao Jiao, and Jones—had surprisingly reached Two-Star combat levels under such harsh training conditions. Even Brice, who originally had no combat prowess at all, had become a One-Star Level soldier. As he put it, he wanted to grow stronger to avenge his beloved Emma! After taking the Potential-Enhancing Drug, the strain on his body became immense in an instant—something ordinary people could hardly endure. The other mercenaries fared better; they were all elite fighters among regular soldiers and could withstand the drug's impact. But what kind of pain did someone like Brice have to endure to keep going? Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh; young love always drove one to such reckless determination.
Even such low-tier Potential Unleasher drugs were unaffordable for ordinary people; each pill required at least ten thousand Contribution Points. It’s worth noting that ordinary individuals could only handle A-level zombies at most, which were valued at just one hundred Contribution Points each. To gather enough Contribution Points for a single Potential Unleasher drug would require killing one hundred zombies—a nearly impossible feat for an average person. Even for some mercenary groups, only a few members could earn enough for such drugs.
Will had also helped significantly; after all, he could "look after" the Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps on many missions. Moreover, when Will intervened, those Potential Unleasher drugs were sold to Blood Envoy at the lowest prices.
Currently, almost everyone in Lin Yi's team had reached Star-Level combat power. This force was undeniably formidable in everyday situations. However, with various governments continuously developing new weapon systems, military strength had reached terrifying levels.
According to intelligence provided by Wu Hao, there were at least ten Nine-Star Combat Power Super Experts in the Greater Paris Defense Zone. As for whether there were higher-level individuals above them, Wu Hao couldn't investigate further.
Eight-Star Peak Combat Power was already close to semi-divine existence; splitting mountains and shattering rocks was trivial for them. What kind of terrifying state would Nine-Star Masters possess beyond Eight-Star Combat Power?
Lin Yi didn't have enough time to ponder this question. After briefly announcing the upcoming mission details, he began discussing battlefield cooperation with everyone. Additionally, the military sent over a staff officer primarily responsible for coordination. All notable mercenary groups within the Greater Paris Defense Zone participated in this operation. Naturally, as the most powerful Golden Mercenary Corps Paris Branch, they would also take part in this mission!
A more brutal battle was about to begin, and Lin Yi, whose strength had surged, felt a faint sense of anticipation.
