The sunset was like blood, casting a crimson hue over the entire battlefield. The world seemed to plunge into endless darkness along with the sinking sun, as the sea breeze from the Atlantic carried a scent of blood that filled everyone's nostrils.
"Yi, you should rest soon. We don't know how long this battle will last," Li Qiweng's voice was somewhat hoarse. Lin Yi remained at Base Camp without personally engaging in the fight, yet Li Qiweng still had to bear the burden of brutal combat time and again.
Lin Yi reached out, trembling slightly as he touched Li Qiweng's dusty cheek, his eyes filled with concern. "Ming, you shouldn't go out anymore. Stay here with me; I'll go out!"
No man could bear to watch his beloved woman fighting outside while he could only stand by helplessly. Yet, with no end in sight for this battle, Lin Yi felt his own insignificance.
"If anything happens to you, our entire team will be in trouble. At worst, I can fight tomorrow in a place where you can reach me instantly. That way, I’ll know you’re always by my side, and I won’t be afraid," Li Qiweng said with a playful smile, her eyes brimming with affection.
"Alright, let's go down and rest for now; it's quite windy up here," Lin Yi said. He couldn't stay on the wall forever, so he went down with Li Qiweng, leaving the watch duties to others.
As soon as they descended, Jiao Jiao handed Lin Yi the latest intelligence report. However, this report had nothing to do with zombies; it was about the Mercenary King competition.
"Boss, congratulations! You've firmly secured the top spot in the African Region!" Lin Yi and his team were embroiled in this great war largely due to the Mercenary Alliance and various Defense Zones holding the Mercenary King competition.
It was a competition aimed more at inspiring people’s resolve to resist zombies than anything else. Of course, such high-stakes competitions came with enticing rewards.
"Oh? How can you be so sure?" Lin Yi asked, feigning calm despite his excitement.
"Of course! According to the latest statistics, your score is nearly perfect while the second place is only in the seventies. With the competition nearing its end, they won't be able to catch up to your score!" Jiao Jiao chuckled as Witerson II, Tony, and others gathered around, their faces lit up with excitement upon hearing the news.
"Boss, congratulations!" Witerson II exclaimed as he gave Lin Yi a bear hug. He knew how much effort Lin Yi had put in throughout their journey.
On the front lines, Lin Yi's presence was always felt! No commander led charges like he did.
Tony forced a smile; Lulu was still very weak, and he couldn't shake off his worries.
"No matter how good my score is, it’s thanks to all of you! If we really become the First Mercenary Corps one day, I hope we can truly live in peace and tranquility!"
A wave of inexplicable emotions surged within Lin Yi. He yearned for tranquility, yet he found himself fighting fiercely.
"Who is the second place? It must be frustrating for them to be kept behind by my Lin Yi," Li Qiweng chuckled, unable to hide the delight in his eyes.
Jiao Jiao cleared her throat, feeling a bit awkward. "It's Beatrice's Golden Mercenary Corps. Only their Mercenary group has the strength to compete with us in the African Region!"
At this moment, Beatrice was considered an ally, and Lin Yi felt a twinge of guilt. After all, Beatrice's Golden Mercenary Corps was a genuine Mercenary group, while his own Mercenary team had been formed by chance and lacked the credentials that Beatrice's group possessed. However, the overall strength of the Golden Mercenary Corps was undeniably formidable; Beatrice merely led a division of it.
"But Captain, there's some news I have to tell you," Jiao Jiao hesitated, her tone strange.
Lin Yi nodded for her to continue. He couldn't think of anything that would make Jiao Jiao feel so embarrassed; she was known for her fiery temperament and straightforwardness.
"This time, the European Theater was originally under the Golden Mercenary Corps, but about a month and a half ago, a new Mercenary group suddenly emerged. This group consists of just over a hundred members but possesses incredible combat power. In just a month and a half, they have killed more than ten Nine-Star Zombies and over a hundred Eight-Star Combat Power Zombies! They only target Zombies with Six-Star combat power or above, and their total score currently ranks first in the European Region!
I'm worried that their score has already surpassed our Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps, posing a significant threat to our pursuit of the annual title of Mercenary King!"
After hearing Jiao Jiao's account, Lin Yi was taken aback. His Armed Forces were immensely powerful, equipped with the pinnacle of technology—the War God Suit—significantly boosting their combat capabilities. Aside from major national Armed Forces, he couldn't fathom any other Mercenary group possessing such strength.
"What is the name of that Mercenary group?" Lin Yi asked urgently, raising an eyebrow. He hadn't been paying attention to events happening elsewhere lately.
"The Bloodthirsty Mercenary Group!" Jiao Jiao pronounced each word carefully, a flicker of something unnoticeable flashing in her eyes.
"The Bloodthirsty Mercenary Group? Why does it sound like they intend to devour our Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps?" Lin Yi thought to himself upon hearing the group's name.
"Boss, they might really be targeting us!" Jiao Jiao continued. However, as someone who worked in intelligence, she knew that judgments couldn't be based solely on speculation.
"Why do you think so?" Both Lin Yi and Li Qiweng asked in unison.
Jiao Jiao paused before responding: "This Mercenary group operates under masks and always wears silver masks, never revealing their true identities. Even with the capabilities of Western media, they have never been able to uncover the true situation of this Mercenary group. They can only refer to them as the most mysterious Mercenaries and the biggest dark horse among Mercenary groups!"
However, since they had already appeared, it was impossible to hide from everyone's eyes. Someone had found their information from the Mercenary Alliance, but the details were very sparse. All they knew was that their mercenary group was called the Bloodthirsty Mercenary Group and that their commander was merely a twenty-one-year-old young man!
"Twenty-one!" Lin Yi's voice rose slightly as his consciousness sharpened. He clearly remembered what he was doing at that age.
A young person of only twenty-one could lead such a powerful mercenary group, and Lin Yi couldn't help but doubt the accuracy of this intelligence.
"Yes, boss, and through extensive searches, I inadvertently discovered a blurry photo of their leader in a high-resolution satellite image. It does seem that she is quite young." At this point, Jiao Jiao glanced at Lin Yi's expression and seemed to make a decision. "Moreover, I found out that this young person is a woman, very much like an old acquaintance we know..."
"Who?" Before Jiao Jiao could finish, Lin Yi asked directly.
"Sister Ying!" Jiao Jiao's voice was low, as if she had revealed something she shouldn't have.
Li Qiweng showed little change in expression upon hearing this name, but Lin Yi's face was filled with shock! In just half a month, what had Ying Sa gone through to possess such formidable combat power?
"Are you sure you saw correctly?" Lin Yi hurriedly asked, disregarding what Li Qiweng might think. He knew that Ying Sa's father was not simple, but it was absolutely impossible for her to form such a powerful mercenary group in such a short time.
"I compared this unclear photo with previous pictures of Sister Ying on my computer and initially judged there is an eighty percent chance it is her." When Jiao Jiao first saw the unclear image, she also found it hard to believe and naturally did extensive work to verify it.
"I see. Then there's nothing more to discuss."
Lin Yi left somewhat dazed, not even bothering to say goodbye to everyone.
...
The night was calm and cool as Charlie finished his work and stretched comfortably, preparing to tidy up and rest.
At that moment, the tent, which still had some light, suddenly darkened, startling Charlie into reaching for his gun. It was only then that he realized he had long since misplaced the laser pistol he usually kept for protection.
"If I wanted to kill you, even if I gave you ten Laser Cannons, you wouldn't be able to hurt me at all." A tired voice rang in Charlie's ear.
"Boss?" Charlie exclaimed with joy, thinking to himself that he wouldn't have to die after all.
"Who else could it be? Quickly show me the Satellite image you compared earlier."
...
"You still can't forget about her, can you?"
"I'm just worried about her. I've never thought about what might develop between us." Lin Yi felt a pang in his heart. He wasn't sure how to describe his feelings, but he felt guilty when facing Li Qiweng. However, upon hearing news about Ying Sa, he felt a subconscious urge to learn more.
"Alright, I wasn't intentionally stalking you. Jiao Jiao is looking for you; it seems urgent." Li Qiweng's voice was somewhat hoarse, though it was unclear whether it was due to lack of rest or something else.
A minute later, after listening to Jiao Jiao's account, Lin Yi's expression turned serious.
"How long have they been devouring each other?"
"According to the Satellite intelligence, they started consuming each other internally right after our chaotic battle ended. At least half of the Zombies have already gone through the first round of devouring, and their strength has begun to rise to a new level!" Jiao Jiao relayed all the latest information.
"So once they reach the final stage of devouring, the entire Zombie Army's strength will reach Star-Level Combat Power?"
