Since Lin Yi's strength had grown increasingly powerful, his control over his own mindset had also strengthened. Previously, as a staff member, if he faced an interview with such a stunning beauty, he would have stammered and struggled to express himself. But now, he could face it calmly. Although he felt a shock upon seeing her alluring figure, he quickly reined in his inner desires.
"I believe the recipients of their love letters are not the real me, but rather a beautiful fantasy they hold in their hearts," Li Qiweng stood beside Lin Yi, careful not to show any signs of joy, even though he was secretly thrilled.
"Alright, Commander Lin is truly a devoted person. Now, let's get back on track. This operation is of great scale, and as an accompanying reporter, I have the duty to inform the eagerly awaiting audience around the world of the latest news. Our newspaper is collaborating with the television station to produce a special report on this operation by Commander Lin, and we naturally hope Mr. Lin Yi can tell us the truth."
The Blonde Reporter was clearly dissatisfied with Lin Yi's vague responses; they were not providing them with valuable information.
"I understand that this operation is significant. However, I believe true victory requires everyone's collective effort. Therefore, I will do my best and influence those around me to strive as well. I hope everyone can join together to fight for peace.
The direction for future development can be summed up in one word: kill!
Eliminate all Corrupted Creatures and restore peace to the world. As for the results of each battle, I can leave that to you to announce; I will strive to deliver impressive results!"
Lin Yi knew he needed to express a concrete attitude; otherwise, things would drag on endlessly. Afterward, the Blonde Reporter continued to ask questions, and Lin Yi answered them one by one. Soon after, they transitioned to broadcasting scenes of exterminating Zombies. It was no small feat for this reporter to obtain aerial footage from Jiao Jiao!
Jiao Jiao was responsible for intelligence gathering and was very sensitive about information. Yet she ultimately agreed to provide this reporter with combat footage captured by an unmanned surveillance drone—a task that was certainly not easy. The video of Lin Yi battling the Nine-Star Zombie was also presented to the world through high-speed cameras.
...
The interview lasted only fifteen minutes at Li Qiweng's request, and Lin Yi had no objections. However, the Blonde Reporter left with a somewhat forlorn expression. She paused for a few seconds right in front of Lin Yi.
Lin Yi had much work ahead of him. To prevent another Zombie resurgence, necessary early warning measures were essential. Moreover, after one battle, the Quarantine Wall of the Oasis Defense Zone had become severely damaged, forcing Lin Yi to dispatch some troops to assist in its reconstruction.
Relief supplies from the Relief Agency of the Security Conference did not arrive until late at night. However, this batch of emergency supplies amounted to only a few hundred tons, most of which were weapons. The food was pitifully scarce. The guerrilla forces received very little food; most had been frantically seized by starving civilians. No matter how iron-willed these soldiers were, they could not bring themselves to take food from those who were nothing but skin and bones.
However, this could not be blamed on the Global Security Conference; a population of two million was no small number, and the Relief Agency was responsible for more than just this area! Nevertheless, Lin Yi's elimination of eight hundred thousand Zombies was not in vain; this time the Libyan Guerrilla Army could establish contact with the Nile Defense Zone, allowing both sides to cooperate in expanding new Defense Zones and providing shelter for these disaster victims. Yet these issues were not something Lin Yi needed to worry about; his most important task was to keep moving forward until his mission was complete.
The second wave soon arrived, and the new relief supplies from the Relief Agency were transported in. This time, there was even more food support, as two million disaster victims were not a small number; mishandling the situation could lead to a massive catastrophe.
What surprised Lin Yi was that among the limited transport, several newspapers were also delivered, and the front page headlines featured none other than Lin Yi's recent victory. The cover prominently displayed an image of Lin Yi holding the Silver Soul Battle Blade, majestically floating in mid-air.
At the top of the cover, it boldly proclaimed in Esperanto: "He, the hero of humanity, the hope of mankind!"
Lin Yi was taken aback by this. The detailed reports inside discussed his impressive achievements in the Oasis War and included evaluations from people around the world regarding this battle. The praise for Lin Yi was exaggerated beyond measure, and he felt a bit embarrassed reading it.
Whether referred to as the Reaper of Zombies, the Divine Messenger saving humanity, or the strongest man in the world, Lin Yi roughly estimated that he had at least a hundred titles. Most of the content in these newspapers was about him; even his parents from Lion City were interviewed by reporters from the United Morning Post, with a timid photo of them featured on one of the side pages.
Seeing this made Lin Yi's heart tremble slightly. It had been nearly two years since he left home, constantly fighting for survival while neglecting that his parents were still in Lion City. Fortunately, Li Xianzong had taken good care of his parents, so Lin Yi didn't worry too much. However, after two years apart, his parents seemed to have aged considerably.
If there was one dream in Lin Yi's heart at that moment, it was to live a carefree life with his loved ones.
However, reality was reality. After everything was organized, several foreign affairs officials from the Nile Defense Zone arrived at Libyan Oasis. Their purpose was to discuss expanding the Defense Zone and establishing communication mechanisms between both parties. Meanwhile, Lin Yi had to continue on his new journey not far away.
This new journey would be even more challenging for Lin Yi as they had to traverse the Sahara Desert. This vast desert, known as a land of death, had always been a place where humanity tested its limits.
Although support troops were continuously arriving behind Lin Yi's forces, it remained a difficult task for an army of one hundred thousand. According to reliable intelligence, there was a large Zombie base somewhere in the Sahara Desert. However, due to the endless sands and the Zombies' own camouflage, its exact location could not be determined.
The mission for Lin Yi's army was to locate and eliminate this group of Zombies and ultimately rendezvous with the Gulf of Guinea Defense Zone in the west. The deadline for this mission was only two months, coinciding with the results date of the first quarter of the Mercenary King Tournament. Thus, Lin Yi had little time and needed to achieve significant results within these two months to become the annual Mercenary King!
Water resources in the Sahara Desert were extremely scarce, and underground water sources were particularly difficult to find. The entire Lin Yi army brought advanced water purification devices and water resource detectors. Each soldier was equipped with enough drinking water; these water bags resembled clothing worn snugly over their uniforms for maximum convenience.
The marching route was mostly planned according to known oases; otherwise, it was likely that this hundred-thousand-strong army would perish from thirst before even encountering any Zombies.
Once all preparations were complete, Lin Yi commanded his army to set off again. Although their combat losses against Zombies were relatively low this time, they still lost over a thousand soldiers and nearly ten thousand were injured. To facilitate marching, naturally, they could not continue forward with those who were wounded.
Thus, Lin Yi's entire army actually numbered less than ninety thousand, but correspondingly, their combat effectiveness had been further enhanced.
Although the scorching summer had long passed, the desert still felt as if it were at the mouth of a volcano. Marching through it, even while seated in air-conditioned Transport Vehicles, one could still feel an unusual heat.
The whole world seemed to have transformed into a fiery realm, surrounded by endless stretches of yellow sand. Fortunately, to alleviate visual fatigue and psychological discomfort, Lin Yi had specially painted all the tanks and Transport Vehicles in vibrant colors. This approach proved effective in maintaining combat morale; at least psychologically, the troops did not feel oppressed by a monotonous color scheme.
The vast convoy moved at a relatively slow pace for safety reasons. Lin Yi continuously analyzed various crisis situations based on real-time positioning data provided by Satellites.
Although Zombies did not require hydration, their mobility was significantly restricted under such extreme conditions. As a result, Lin Yi encountered no Zombies along the way. It was important to note that the entire Sahara Desert was supposed to be a Zombie-occupied zone, making this situation quite abnormal.
However, as they delved deeper into the Sahara Desert, the wind and sand became increasingly fierce. Drones sent out were easily battered by the swirling sand, rendering them nearly useless; nothing of value could be seen. As for Satellite searches, aside from being able to roughly locate Lin Yi's massive convoy, all that could be seen was an endless expanse of yellow sand.
All high-tech equipment lost its effectiveness under the bizarre influence of nature, and Lin Yi could only rely on Ero's Big Ears to help monitor the surrounding situation. As for the troops positioned to the front, back, left, and right, all Lin Yi could do was ensure they maintained a high state of alertness.
As the convoy officially entered the Sahara Desert on the second evening, the relentless sandstorm finally paused for a moment after raging for two days.
At that moment, Lin Yi received a report that approximately fifteen kilometers ahead lay an Oasis Town.
