Potential Unleasher was still a topic of discussion within their circle. Even though Sean and his team from the Mercenary group had decent combat capabilities, their exposure to the wider world was limited. Moreover, the Potential Gene Drug that was being sold both openly and in the Underworld had not undergone extensive testing. The effectiveness of the drug could only be determined through long-term practice.
The Potential Gene Drug that Sean and Roman initially used was, to some extent, a second-tier product. Its short-term effects were comparable to the best Gene Drugs, but the long-term side effects revealed a noticeable gap. Nevertheless, both of them were satisfied with their strength, especially since those who had followed them to join Lin Yi were still weaker than they were, resulting in many casualties among them. Not long ago, their companion from the Mercenary group who had also reached Seven Star-Level Combat Power had unfortunately been killed by a Zombie during an ambush. In comparison to those who had fallen, the survivors felt a sense of relief.
The Potential Gene Drug was not infallible; both Akin and Danny had reached the peak of Six-Star, while their former medic, Ike, was merely at Five-Star. The three of them were now primarily engaged in logistical support tasks, a form of care from their old captain. After all, very few remained from the original Witerson Special Operations Camp, which weighed heavily on Witerson II's heart.
Among those who had followed him out from Vernon City, Erosen Yier could hear many things that others could not. Now, thanks to the Potential Gene Drug, he had also reached the peak of Six-Star. His role was mainly reconnaissance, using his keen hearing to gather information on Zombie movements. While it was possible to use Psychic Power for this purpose, its energy fluctuations could be detected, whereas listening did not carry such risks.
The young man, Brice, had also grown significantly in a short time and had reached the pinnacle of Seven-Star Level. After all, young people possessed great potential. Under the influence of high-quality Potential Gene Drugs, coupled with his determination to avenge a girl named Emma, he fought fiercely and made remarkable progress.
As for the overall strength of the Mercenary group, despite having recruited several newcomers, their collective power astonishingly exceeded Five-Star.
However, among these familiar faces, some were noticeably absent. The figure that Lin Yi had longed to see never appeared. Even that individual who once posed a significant threat with her thin-winged ability was nowhere to be found. Of course, neither was Li Qiweng present.
“Ouyang Shasha disappeared after betraying you, and so did Carlo. We have no idea where they are now. According to intelligence reports, they may have mingled with some high-level zombies,” explained Wu Hao, noticing the confusion on Lin Yi's face. However, he refrained from mentioning anything about Li Qiweng, knowing it was a sensitive topic for him.
When the Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps returned under his command, a feeling of unprecedented exhilaration washed over Lin Yi. This thrill of reclaiming what was lost was not something everyone could experience. He even forgot to inquire about the reasons behind the previous betrayal until it was brought up by Wu Hao.
According to him, when the group was assembled and ready for rescue operations, Aoling Er sensed something amiss; returning would have meant certain death. At that moment, Wu Hao employed some tactics to prevent internal strife by using his mind-reading abilities to manipulate everyone's memories into believing that Lin Yi was the traitor.
Not long after that, he received orders from the Lion City Council to hunt down Lin Yi. It was easy to deduce that the council intended to test them; thus, he agreed without hesitation. Two key factors influenced his decision: first, Aoling Er informed him that there would be no scenario where Lin Yi would be caught dead; second, he believed in Lin Yi's ability to escape death—a belief forged by countless miracles created by him. Ultimately, Lin Yi did escape and acquired an unexpected unique ability.
Even at the end of it all, Lin Yi couldn't help but ask about the whereabouts of Li Qiweng. He knew she became the captain of the Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps after he left; there was no way that Wu Hao wouldn't know anything.
Although Wu Hao's mind-reading abilities couldn't decipher exactly what was on Lin Yi's mind, he could make educated guesses. After letting out a deep sigh, he said, “Three days ago we were still together fighting enemies; however, she left that very night along with a man named Wang Xing. That man has a face that spells trouble for women.”
"Wang Xing? That name sounds familiar!" Lin Yi thought, feeling the last glimmer of hope fade away, but he still pretended to be nonchalant as he asked.
"I looked into his background. He used to be with the Third Division and was a colleague of Li Qiweng. I don't know what kind of luck he's had, but his strength has skyrocketed, and now he's also broken through to a ten Star Level combat power. Li Qiweng is also incredibly strong now, possibly even stronger than Wang Xing."
Lin Yi recalled carefully and finally remembered that Wang Xing was the person from the special operations team who came to investigate when the Zombie Virus first appeared at the research institute he was part of. However, he had come along with Pachy and Li Qiweng. At that time, Wang Xing was wearing sunglasses, so Lin Yi hadn't paid much attention. He never expected that this person would cause Li Qiweng to change sides. Lin Yi silently vowed that the next time he encountered him, he would turn him to ashes!
"Find out where he is; I want to take care of him personally!"
Lin Yi's expression was filled with rage, as if he wanted to devour the other person whole. Wu Hao was slightly shocked; it was rare to see Lin Yi lose his composure like this.
Sometimes, finding out the answer to a question isn't a good thing, but now Lin Yi was fueled by anger and an inexplicable sense of humiliation. As a result, during the originally planned celebration, Lin Yi only hurriedly drank a bit with everyone before making an excuse to leave.
When Lin Yi returned home, he found his family waiting for him. Of course, this family included not just Lin Father and Lin Mother but also Ying Sa. On the way back, Lin Yi had already decided to find an appropriate opportunity to propose marriage to Ying Sa.
Upon seeing his son return, Lin Father simply greeted him and poured a drink for Lin Yi himself. Meanwhile, Lin Mother sat beside Ying Sa, smiling as she occasionally teased her son about his past misdeeds while encouraging Ying Sa to help discipline her "useless" son.
Ying Sa responded sweetly and repeatedly agreed, making Lin Mother praise her for being understanding and well-behaved. Of course, at this moment, Lin Mother did not forget to mention all of Li Qiweng's shortcomings.
As the family gathering progressed, Lin Mother directly urged them about marriage. Without any hesitation, Lin Yi agreed and stated that he would visit Ying Sa's family soon to set a wedding date.
Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Ying Sa froze in place, tears filling her bright eyes that she couldn't hold back. Startled, Lin Yi quickly pulled Ying Sa into his room to comfort her with various pleas for forgiveness until he finally managed to soothe the poor beauty.
Lin Yi's parents' house wasn't large; it had just two bedrooms. When night fell and the hazy moonlight illuminated everything, it seemed filled with romance. Ying Sa looked at Lin Yi as she gently began shedding her clothes one by one, revealing her fair body.
The sea breeze blew against the surface of the water nearby, bringing soft whispers that sounded like seductive moans from lovers. The two bare bodies intertwined together, freely expressing their emotions...
As the sunlight poured back into the bedroom, Lin Yi gently rose from the bed. However, the conspicuous stain on the sheets made his heart skip a beat. At that moment, he looked at Ying Sa's delicate face, reminiscent of a baby's, and couldn't help but lean down to plant a soft kiss on her. Ying Sa's long eyelashes seemed to sense his presence, trembling lightly.
"I'll make you breakfast, Century Egg and Pork Congee," Lin Yi whispered softly in Ying Sa's ear.
Ying Sa didn't open her eyes, but her face quickly flushed with embarrassment as she pulled the covers over her head. It was only when Lin Yi was about to leave that she peeked out, revealing her starry black eyes, filled with anticipation and happiness as she watched him walk away.
Although Lin Yi had never cooked before, he relied on his precise control of Psychic Power and the descriptions in the recipe to steam and cook the Century Egg and Pork Congee. Even Lin Father and Lin Mother couldn't resist it.
Ying Sa was like a hungry cat, rising to wash up as soon as she caught a whiff of the aroma. Without caring about her image, she devoured three bowls until her belly was full, then shyly helped Lin Mother clean up the kitchen.
Later on, according to Ying Sa's wishes, they went to experience the places where Lin Yi had grown up. Lin Yi patiently accompanied her; even a simple stroll along the beach brought her immense joy. Each moment felt like a delight to her, and she no longer paid attention to the ever-present Zombie Crisis.
Eventually, Lin Yi took Ying Sa to the laboratory where he had once worked. The place that had once been overrun by zombies had now transformed into a different research project. Lin Yi felt a wave of nostalgia; in just five short years, not only had he changed personally, but the world itself had undergone tremendous transformations.
The virus that had plagued the laboratory was secretly brought in by a researcher, a fact discovered during the first purge of traitors. Such incidents had occurred in many places around the globe, contributing to the rapid spread of the zombie outbreak.
The nights near the equator were still somewhat sultry, yet for these young lovers, there always seemed to be an opportunity to express their desires at just the right moments, even if not in entirely appropriate places.
