In Lin Yi's heart, a sense of dread surged; what kind of attack power was this, moving at such incredible speed!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi's Silver Soul Battle Blade was already aimed directly at the Fat Zombie's forehead. At that moment, it was completely locked onto the target, with no chance of escape.
Suddenly, a fierce expression flashed across the Fat Zombie's face, and its previously withered body began to swell. The surrounding sand seemed to be drawn in by some mysterious force, swirling and flying towards the Fat Zombie, sticking tightly to its form.
In the next moment, a grayish light flickered across the Zombie's body. The sand that had clung to it transformed as if subjected to intense heat, flowing like liquid over the Zombie's form.
Soon enough, that layer of sand morphed into a snow-white armor-like substance that adhered to the Fat Zombie, with the most coverage concentrated on its forehead.
All of this transpired in an instant. Lin Yi's Silver Soul Battle Blade just managed to pierce into the Fat Zombie's forehead.
At that moment, a strange scene unfolded; the seemingly indestructible Silver Soul Battle Blade paused for a brief moment as it entered the Zombie's forehead.
It was this fleeting pause that granted the Fat Zombie a chance to retreat. With a push off the sandy ground, it swiftly propelled itself backward!
"I'm done playing! You all are bullying me!" The Zombie's roar echoed from afar as it turned to flee.
"Not so fast!" Lin Yi shouted fiercely, activating his War God Suit and accelerating toward the Zombie.
The already terrified Fat Zombie dared not face Lin Yi again and desperately scrambled forward with all its might.
Just then, a silver flash streaked through the sky and dove down from above the Fat Zombie. The silver light pierced through its body and shot out from below, returning to Lin Yi's hand.
The Fat Zombie's body swayed in mid-air before attempting to turn back but ended up crashing down into a cloud of yellow sand.
A gust of wind swept through the desert as the Fat Zombie was quickly engulfed by an endless tide of swirling sand.
The recent strike was merely a moment when Lin Yi took advantage of the Fat Zombie's distraction, wielding another weapon, the Silver Soul Battle Blade, to launch a surprise attack.
Now, with his Psychic Power surging, Lin Yi maneuvered the Silver Soul Battle Blade with ease, as if it were an extension of himself. The Fat Zombie had just recently advanced to the Nine-Star Level, and its rapid progression had left it with combat power but no actual battle experience. This was why Lin Yi was able to eliminate it so decisively.
While everyone was still in shock, the scene here was being broadcast live by Brave's cameraman to audiences around the globe. The Fat Zombie had appeared so suddenly that no one had time to react before Lin Yi engaged it in combat. In just a few blinks, this level of Zombie had already met its end at Lin Yi's hands.
"Oh my God, what just happened?" A crowd gathered around a display screen far from Victoria Desert wore expressions of astonishment. They had been watching Lin Yi's live stream when suddenly the situation changed dramatically, and they saw Lin Yi battling a figure. However, this confrontation lasted only a few dozen seconds, and many people didn't even get a clear look at the figure suspended in mid-air.
"It can fly and can turn sand into soldiers! This is a Nine-Star Combat Power Zombie; only those at the Nine-Star Level can fly, and only those with Nine-Star Combat Power possess such strange Bestow Unique Abilities!"
A student’s face was filled with excitement as he adjusted his glasses, nearly jumping for joy.
"Wow, Captain Lin has become so powerful! Has he already broken through to Nine-Star Level combat power? I just learned that Captain Lin was at the peak of Eight-Star Level; did he really advance that quickly?" A young man gazed longingly at the scene on the display screen where Lin Yi hovered with his blade.
"No way! Captain Lin is still wearing the War God Suit; he's using it to fly. He must still be at Eight-Star Peak combat power since the War God Suit is practically useless for Nine-Star Level Combatants."
As the plan to encircle and eliminate Zombies progressed, major media outlets flooded the airwaves with news related to fighting Zombies. The previously classified information regarding combat power classifications and the advanced technology of the War God Suit was also disclosed. This was done to bolster public confidence in resisting Zombies; they had the right to know about the latest developments regarding these threats.
As discussions erupted worldwide, Lin Yi's image became increasingly ingrained in people's minds. His title as National Hero gained further recognition, and his influence reached unprecedented heights!
Even those in the know quietly concluded that Lin Yi would undoubtedly be this generation's Mercenary King—the true and only Uncrowned King in the hearts of countless Mercenaries!
Lin Yi was oblivious to all of this. However, his heart swelled with excitement; what seemed like a simple strike to others held profound significance for him.
As long as it wasn't an exceptionally powerful Nine-Star Level Zombie, Lin Yi had no reason to fear! The swift and decisive defeat of that Fat Zombie served as perfect evidence of his capabilities!
A surge of heroism welled up within Lin Yi, and he felt that there was no longer any need to fear the zombies.
At this moment, someone finally snapped out of their shock. Just moments ago, the crowd had been intimidated by the Nine-Star Level Zombie, but now they were awestruck by Lin Yi. Who could have guessed that an Eight-Star Combat Power Mercenary could slay a Nine-Star Zombie in such a short time?
"Honey, I admire you so much!" Li Qiweng lightly leaped and landed on Lin Yi's shoulder. She then gently kissed him on the lips.
In an instant, a sweet fragrance enveloped them, and Lin Yi felt so happy that he could hardly breathe normally!
"Boss, we admire you too!" Flower Cannon gestured to several others, disregarding Lin Yi's awkward expression as they all jumped over.
However, with Lin Yi's combat power already at the Nine-Star Level, it was far too easy for him to evade them. In a flash, Lin Yi took Li Qiweng into the air!
The crowd missed their target but it did not dampen their spirits. They formed a circle, holding hands and entertaining themselves.
The mercenaries, who had been tense until now, finally released their emotions. Ignoring the fact that they were surrounded by zombies, they began to sing and dance in a carefree manner.
Lin Yi held Li Qiweng as they performed an aerial tango while Black provided the music. For a moment, amidst the swirling yellow sand, people from all over the world danced together without regard for nationality, race, skin color, or gender—only joy remained.
The exhaustion, panic, helplessness, and confusion that had accumulated over nearly three months were completely released at this moment. Even if danger loomed, so what? Their Uncrowned King was right there; they believed in him!
...
After the revelry subsided, everyone began an orderly retreat. Originally, Elisa was supposed to be among the second batch to evacuate, but she insisted on ensuring Chairman Lin's safety and chose to stay behind until the end. Lin Yi had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Just as Lin Yi prepared to retreat as well, several powerful presences suddenly appeared before him. Four formidable human experts landed right in front of him, and surprisingly, Lin Yi felt a sense of fear towards their unexpected arrival.
At this moment, his actual combat power had already reached Nine-Star Level. He could sense a terrifying force, one that surpassed the Nine-Star Level, reaching a legendary status.
In front of Lin Yi stood four individuals—three men and one woman. Lin Yi couldn't determine their ages but sensed they were quite young. They emanated an inexplicable aura, reminiscent of the time when Hai unleashed his Divine Technique.
Could it be that they had ascended to godhood? Lin Yi couldn't help but question this in his mind, but he knew it was impossible. Perhaps these four had evolved to a stage beyond Nine-Star Level, transcending the realm of ordinary mortals.
"The matter at hand is of great importance; we will take over here!" The leader, a man with an expressionless face, spoke to Lin Yi, or rather commanded him.
"The mission is nearing its end. May I ask what you mean by this?" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes. Just moments ago, he had nearly annihilated a Nine-Star Zombie and felt confident, unafraid of the four formidable experts before him.
"The Zombie horde is aware of the current crisis and has begun to accelerate their evolution. Once they have all completed their evolution, you will only be left as their food!" The lone woman spoke coldly, her voice even chillier than Renesmee's.
Lin Yi's Psychic Power surged forth suddenly, and from dozens of kilometers away, he sensed several rising auras!
As Lin Yi released his Psychic Power, the leading man exclaimed in astonishment, "To think you can cultivate your Psychic Power to a level stronger than your own cultivation base! Mr. Lin is indeed no ordinary person."
At that moment, Alyah suddenly approached and signaled for Lin Yi to leave immediately. Lin Yi understood that he could not afford to offend the four before him. He quickly gathered the remaining members and retreated at full speed! Their target was the coastal area of Western Australia, nearly a thousand miles away from Victoria Desert.
Just as Lin Yi and his group had retreated several hundred miles away, an unimaginable surge of energy erupted suddenly.
Everyone turned to look; hundreds of miles away, an enormous mushroom cloud rose into the sky, nearly obscuring half of it. The site where the mushroom cloud ascended was none other than Victoria Desert.
