But at that moment, the entire Communication Room was plunged into darkness! The power had gone out!
In the next instant, a buzzing sound suddenly filled Lin Yi's mind, and an unprecedented sense of crisis swept over him. This feeling of impending doom was something he had never experienced even when facing masters of Ten-Star Combat Power. It was a sensation of certain death. Lin Yi felt as if his body had become completely immobile, but deep down, he knew it was simply too late for him to move.
That overwhelming force, along with a speed that no one could surpass, could only be matched by the Base Laser Cannon! Lin Yi had never imagined that the super weapon originally designed to combat Zombies would now be turned against him!
"No, I can't die! If I die, everything is over!
Right, Wen! Wen is waiting for me, and so are my brothers and sisters from the Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps! I can't just die like this!"
In that moment, Lin Yi's heart was filled with a roar that ultimately transformed into a long howl that shot straight into the sky!
At that instant, Lin Yi felt the invisible barrier that had long been unbreakable finally shatter with a sudden "crack."
In an instant, he experienced a sensation unlike any other; it was as if the door to another world had swung open before him. He glimpsed a realm he had never seen before—a wondrous world that he could enter at any moment, exuding an overwhelming sense of power.
At this moment, Lin Yi felt that both his body and soul underwent a complete transformation. He even believed he had become the god spoken of in legends. An omnipotent deity.
"Buzz—" Just then, the massive crimson beam descending upon him was alarmingly close, almost ready to pierce through his entire being!
Yet Lin Yi seemed oblivious to it; his eyes were tightly shut as he sought to embrace this unprecedented state.
Suddenly, a strange voice echoed in his mind, reminiscent of countless devotees chanting. Lin Yi felt as if he were witnessing the opening of the door to a new world.
Then, seemingly slow yet impossibly fast, his hands gently opened in the ethereal space. It was as if he were tearing apart some invisible barrier.
In the next moment, a miraculous scene unfolded!
Just as the crimson beam was about to pierce through Lin Yi's body, he suddenly vanished without a trace, as if he had never existed, completely disappearing from this space.
"Zhi—"
The crimson Laser Beam finally struck the ground. A deep, bottomless black hole, about forty centimeters long, suddenly appeared on the alloy floor.
Thick black smoke began to rise, filling the room with a burnt smell.
At this moment, in the Base Weapon Control Room, the same Ponytail Woman coldly assessed, "Mission failed. Target has escaped; unable to locate target position temporarily!"
"This is impossible!" shouted the faceless man, his expression filled with shock.
"Even a Ten-Star Level would find it nearly impossible to escape under such laser weapon targeting! How could an Eight-Star Combat Power individual possibly get away? Is he stronger than a Ten-Star Level?"
This couldn't be; he couldn't possess such formidable strength. There must have been a calculation error! "Continue monitoring and immediately pull up the clearest video from the port for analysis!" The man nearly shouted himself hoarse, unable to believe the reality of the situation.
Meanwhile, not far above Lion City, a massive Flying Group had gathered. Hundreds of large aircraft hovered in the sky as if frozen in time.
Inside the aircraft, everyone stared at the holographic projection screen, their faces reflecting confusion and anxiety.
This massive Flying Group consisted of all members of the Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps who had received Lin Yi's summons not long ago. However, just as they were about to reach their designated port, they were desperately obstructed by Aoling Er.
Aoling Er was adamant; she told everyone that she sensed a deadly danger. If they returned to Lion City, disaster would surely follow! At that moment, they realized they could no longer contact Lin Yi. This confirmed that Aoling Er's intuition was indeed correct!
"Everyone, you should know without me saying that our Captain is undoubtedly facing life-and-death danger! Reiko's sensing indicates a peril that our entire Mercenary Corps cannot easily resolve; relying solely on Captain might lead to dire consequences." Although Wu Hao had previously served in the Eight Departments, he had not returned to duty after coming back to Lion City and remained with Lin Yi's team.
Now that Lin Yi, Li Qiweng, and Pachy were absent, he naturally became the person in charge.
"I suggest we send a team of elite personnel to Lion City to assess the situation and find Captain Lin!" Renesmee proposed when she noticed everyone else was silent.
"The problem is how to find him. Since the boss hasn't reached out to us, he must be in a dangerous situation!" Witerson II rubbed his head, looking helpless.
"If possible, I am willing to contribute!" Ouyang Shasha spoke up at that moment. Over the years, her once charming demeanor had gradually faded, and she had become more composed.
If it weren't for the members of the Mercenary group being unable to decipher what Ouyang Shasha's relationship with their Captain was, many would have likely considered pursuing her.
"I am also willing. If it weren't for Captain Lin putting aside past grievances and taking me in as this Old Guy, I would have long since perished at the hands of a Zombie!" Benito then stepped forward, his expression tinged with sorrow.
Everyone present knew that if Lin Yi couldn't handle the danger, they would almost certainly meet their demise if they rushed in. Yet they still chose to step forward, compelled by an instinct that told them they had to do so, even if the path ahead was fraught with peril.
"We have just cracked the so-called 'Truth Network' website. This news outlet has always relied on sensationalism to survive. As a result, various borderline reports have emerged endlessly, leaving the Surveillance Bureau powerless!
But this time, releasing the news that the boss is a Zombie seems beyond their capabilities! And now, without any proof, the boss has fallen into danger. Therefore, whoever wishes to see him dead must be someone very influential!"
Since receiving Lin Yi's orders, Jiao Jiao had begun investigating the matter thoroughly. However, she never expected the outcome would turn out like this!
"Only those who can order a full-scale hunt for the boss are Li Xianzong, followed by the First Speaker of the Council, and then the Vice President! Li Xianzong wouldn't bother dealing with his own son-in-law, so the remaining two are definitely suspicious!"
Jiao Jiao pulled up images of the three individuals and then concealed Li Xianzong's picture.
"Perhaps this incident was orchestrated by Li Xianzong, it's not impossible!" A glint of insight shone in Wu Hao's eyes as he spoke slowly.
"That's impossible. During this time, Li Xianzong has been discussing strategies at the United Nations Security Council regarding eradicating those involved with Zombies and rebuilding efforts across nations. He is too stretched thin to pull off something like this!" As an intelligence officer for the Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps, Jiao Jiao naturally paid close attention to such high-profile figures.
"It does seem unlikely. The boss is his son-in-law and controls powerful departments; their collaboration would be a strong alliance. He has no reason to cut off his own right arm!" Flower Cannon stroked his beardless chin thoughtfully, though his gaze never left Jian's cold and frosty face.
"There's no time to waste. We need to send someone over right away, and we must decide who will take on this task!" Wu Hao's eyes revealed a sense of urgency; he knew that every second delayed meant more danger for Lin Yi.
"Miss Ouyang and Benito can both become invisible, and with the two of us who can fly without the War God Suit, we should be the strongest combination for this mission!" Nicolas said as he took Renesmee's delicate hand and stepped forward. He had already decided to go with Renesmee to find Lin Yi.
"Renesmee's combat power has already reached eight Star Level, and with the War God Suit, she can easily handle two opponents with Eight-Star Combat Power!
However, the journey ahead will undoubtedly be perilous. We must prepare for the worst! That is, no matter what happens, Lin Yi must be rescued, but we also need to be ready for sacrifices! I think we all know that in the past, Lin Yi always charged to the front lines for our safety.
Now that he is in trouble, we must do whatever it takes to help him!"
Though usually calm and collected, this time he spoke with an undeniable tone. Everyone nodded in agreement and began to make tight preparations.
...
Once Lin Yi confirmed he was not in hell, he finally started to assess his surroundings. At that moment, he realized he was on an island. The island was only about a kilometer wide, and he could vaguely see the mainland several kilometers away.
Lin Yi shook his head, confirming he was not dreaming! In just an instant, he had inexplicably arrived on this island. With a surge of consciousness, Lin Yi took to the air; he wanted to observe his environment! Then it hit him! He wasn't wearing the War God Suit, yet he could fly!
There was only one possibility: he had successfully broken through to Nine Star Level! At that moment, Lin Yi's mind raced as he recalled the unusual situation earlier; his Bestow Unique Ability was somehow related to space! This reverse Spatial Ability could undoubtedly make Lin Yi the most powerful Nine-Star Master!
