The base of the Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps was currently empty, as the great victory in the Southern Defense Zone had ignited the people's passion for battle. As the new leader, Darth needed more victories to gain their trust.
Around the Addis Ababa Defense Zone, over half of the million Zombies had been eliminated, with High-Level Zombies suffering heavy losses. Darth decided to push the entire Defense Zone forward by thirty kilometers before new support Zombies arrived. The command center had no objections to this decision, and Lin Yi would naturally go to provide support. Wang Zijun's good cooperation with Kofi had prevented a disaster that could have led to the fall of the Defense Zone, and at this moment, his position in the command center was even higher than Lin Yi's.
Dealing with ordinary Zombies did not require too many top-tier forces, so Lin Yi stayed behind. Li Qiweng also wanted to take a break and did not advance with the main force.
Jones, an expert in mechanics, was responsible for helping repair Lin Yi's War God Suit. However, she was currently in a military laboratory within a Defense Zone, where the experimental equipment was well-equipped.
After much hesitation, Lin Yi finally opened the relic left for him by Kofi under Li Qiweng's urging. It was a playback device that Jimmy had personally delivered the previous night. Witerson II had also talked with Jimmy for a long time, but the final outcome was not quite what Lin Yi had hoped for.
As the sound of machinery began to operate, Kofi's holographic image appeared in mid-air. He was still sitting in his rocking chair, looking like an ordinary old man.
"I must be speaking to you now as a dead man; it's quite amusing when you think about it," Kofi said with a broad smile, revealing his yellowed teeth.
"You must be complaining that I used you to achieve my own goals. You think I am cunning and have planned everything step by step—killing Paul and my old friend of many years. But I didn't want this; they betrayed their own humanity. For their selfish interests, they were willing to sacrifice all of humanity.
Kachi, do you know? I originally decided that after my death, I would help him become the Commander of the command center. But he was killed by Paul, who notified High-Level Combat Power Zombies to devour Kachi alive. Tragically, until his dying breath, Kachi fought desperately to protect Paul’s life. Kachi was a trustworthy person; unfortunately, he was just unlucky.
I always knew there were problems within our ranks; I even learned through some means that this Zombie crisis was deliberately orchestrated by certain individuals for their own benefit.
I don't know how many traitors were unearthed during the last Global Security Conference hidden within humanity, but I suspect not many. The real traitors are those we see every day; we just lack evidence. The Zombie outbreak incident in Kenya originated from your country, Lion City. Although your President Li dealt with many people involved, I believe this matter is not so simple.
I still want to do many things; it's just that God has given me too little time. After learning about Kachi's cause of death, I began my investigation. You should know that I possess Psychic Power Ability; its greatest function is to subtly influence people's judgment and even create dependency on me.
After months of investigation, I slowly figured out who the betrayer was. However, those who provided me information began to die one after another. No matter where I hid them, they could not escape death! And beside me, only my old partner knew all my secret actions.
When I discovered he was the deepest hidden traitor within our nation, I felt almost hopeless. Nearly two years of resistance and countless sacrifices from civilians—many of which were unnecessary due to my negligence—resulted in one traitor knowing all our movements!
But I'm old now; what can I do? The future will ultimately belong to you young people. All I can do is try to clear obstacles from your path as much as possible. I began planning and first sought out Jimmy. He is a very dedicated person; once he makes up his mind, he won't betray anyone.
I am terrified of betrayal. Over these years, countless people have betrayed this country and even betrayed their own humanity. Now even old partners I've known for so long are turning to the enemy.
So I wondered what exactly I did wrong? I thought about it for a long time and realized I've been wrong my entire life—absurdly wrong. Why should others act according to my ideas? Why should I strive to be seen as a saint by others? Is it because I'm Kofi or because I'm a leader?
I am just an ordinary person who seized some opportunities and eventually grew to heights that most people find hard to reach. After that, my juniors began to respect me, and my peers started to revere me. My expectations for myself became increasingly high, as did my expectations for those around me.
However, I forgot that everyone has desires; I shouldn't demand so much from them. For all these years, I believed my old partner was content to stay in the background, but in reality, he also wanted to make his mark.
Yet, I suppressed him, treating him as my last trump card. I thought that by dedicating myself fully to this country, good results would follow. But I forgot that he is human, I am human, and we all have needs.
He was delayed by me for too long, which ultimately led him to take drastic actions. This is my fault; I really shouldn't impose my thoughts on those around me.
No one is perfect. Isn't it a form of hypocrisy to demand too much from oneself?
Heh heh heh... Reflecting on all these years, I realize I've been a selfish and self-righteous person, the most hypocritical person in this world!
In the end, I decided to do whatever it takes to deal with him, so I reached out to an old friend of mine—Wang Hao, the First Speaker of the Mercenary Alliance in the Pacific region, who happens to be Wang Zijun's father.
I know his precious daughter possesses a unique ability—you must have seen it: petrification. It's a terrifying ability that renders almost anyone below Star Level Nine completely defenseless; even those at Star Level Nine can be caught off guard and covered in rock.
Of course, this ability isn't limitless; after using it once or twice, Wang Zijun would be completely drained.
Moreover, this Mercenary Alliance competition was hastily decided under Wang Hao's influence. The reason was naturally to find a suitable opportunity for Wang's girl to come over.
However, haha, what I didn't expect was that she brought you along as well. Through various channels, I've learned about your situation. So ultimately, I sought you out to eliminate Paul and his Iron Wolf Brigade in order to cut off part of his power.
I admit that at this moment I used you and even put you in a difficult position without you realizing the dangers involved. The high-level combat powers and zombies you encountered were all due to notifications from those traitors.
Fortunately, you managed to evade these disasters. And my old partner's attention was drawn to you, allowing me to continue my arrangements.
Wang's girl decisively agreed to cooperate with me; however, it wasn't until just now that I realized my old partner had become even stronger with the help of the zombies.
My psychic power is indeed formidable, but it still seems insufficient against him. So ultimately, I've decided to trade my life for my old partner's life.
Knowing I'm going to die yet feeling that many things remain unfinished. Upon reflection, the person I owe the most apologies to is you and your entire mercenary team.
I left this recording simply to give you an explanation. As for whether you forgive my selfishness, I no longer care. I don't want to strive to be a perfect person anymore; it's exhausting, and it wears down those around me.
In the end, I tell you not to trust anyone easily, at least not until the Zombie Crisis is completely resolved. Don't trust anyone, not even the person beside you!
After Kofi finished speaking, the entire projection vanished, and the playback device fell silent once again. Lin Yi had yet to recover from his words; he merely glanced at the person next to him, who wore a look of shock—Li Qiweng.
Don't trust Li Qiweng? Could it be that Li Qiweng is also a traitor? Lin Yi felt his mind was racing. If Li Qiweng were to surrender to the Zombies, what would he do?
Lin Yi was not someone who held grudges. Even knowing that Kofi had used him, he felt no resentment towards the deceased. What mattered more to Lin Yi was the situation Kofi had described. If there truly were many betrayers, then it would be difficult to determine who this world ultimately belonged to.
"Darling, what's wrong?" Li Qiweng asked as she noticed Lin Yi lost in thought. She leaned close to his ear, her breath like fragrant orchids. A tingling sensation swept over Lin Yi's body; he enjoyed that feeling immensely.
"The Zombies are rampant, and I don't know when it will end. I was thinking maybe we should form an intelligence team to investigate the situation with the Zombies. Then I could organize a suicide squad to storm their lair, and the Zombie crisis would be resolved!" Lin Yi's Mercenary group had always entrusted intelligence gathering to Jiao Jiao, but clearly, they were still too shallow in many aspects and needed a more professional collection process.
Li Qiweng said nothing; she simply bit Lin Yi's earlobe and then remarked, "The Global Security Conference couldn't eliminate all those traitors even with the combined strength of the world. How do you think you can do it? Their lair must be very dangerous. If you go off playing the hero, do you want me to become a widow?"
At this point, Li Qiweng pouted and playfully raked her delicate fingers through Lin Yi's hair.
Just then, the playback device on the table suddenly opened up, revealing a red cloth bag inside.
