Since his strength had been continuously improving, Lin Yi felt that his resistance to beauty had also strengthened significantly. Although a captivating figure was beside him, exhaling softly and enticingly, Lin Yi instinctively decided to ignore her, forcing himself to appear calm as he casually flipped through a magazine on the table.
"What's wrong? Am I not as good as the woman in this book?" The Bunny Girl leaned in close, almost pressing her lips against Lin Yi's cheek, her voice filled with a sense of longing.
Lin Yi's eyelids twitched. The one thing he could never tolerate was a woman acting coy around him; it made him feel like he was losing control.
However, given the current perilous situation, now that he had arrived on the American continent, he had to cross the Central Plains and head directly to the location of the Global Security Conference to seek some external assistance!
"I'm just here for a drink," Lin Yi said with a wry smile, though at that moment, his gaze had already shifted to the Blonde Girl's waist.
Women's sixth sense is incredibly sharp. Just as Lin Yi's eyes wandered over, the Blonde Girl followed his gaze and smiled lightly.
"If Mr. Lin likes it, Lucy will show you tonight." The Blonde Girl, who introduced herself as Lucy, playfully rubbed her back against Lin Yi's. The soft sensation mixed with her body fragrance made even Lin Yi's breath quicken slightly.
At that moment, hearing that she actually knew him startled Lin Yi. "You know me?"
"Isn't it normal for a National Hero to know you?" This time it was Lucy who looked puzzled, her sapphire-blue eyes filled with confusion.
"Can I borrow your communicator?" Lin Yi noticed a decorative item hanging from Lucy's waist. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a high-grade communicator.
"Captain Lin is indeed impressive; no wonder you rose to fame during the Zombie Wave!" Lucy's body trembled slightly, and her eyes revealed hints of curiosity.
Then she stood up and gestured for Lin Yi to follow her. Not wanting too many people to know he was here, Lin Yi reluctantly complied.
As they walked toward the back of the bar, many men of various ages whistled at Lucy. When they saw Lin Yi following her with his head down, whispers of envy and surprise filled the air. Lin Yi could even feel some hostile glances directed at him; he sensed that one of them possessed Three-Star combat power!
The Zombie Crisis was indeed terrifying. However, on another front, it had also propelled humanity's combat capabilities to new heights; Star-Level Combat Power individuals were everywhere.
The two squeezed through a crowded dark red corridor until they finally entered a disheveled bedroom.
Lucy then turned her hips and plopped down onto a soft leather sofa. She shifted her feet to the edge of the couch. Her previous seductive posture transformed into that of a neighborly girl in an instant.
"Why did you call me over? I really don't want to hear any outrageous requests from you!" Lin Yi encountered Lucy but was unwilling to spend too much time on her.
"The Zombie Catastrophe has left me all alone at home! I want Captain Lin to lead me in killing Zombies!" Tears welled up in Lucy's eyes, threatening to spill over at any moment.
Lin Yi's ears perked up. After hearing her words, he instinctively assessed Lucy's abilities and found that she was just an ordinary person, which left him feeling somewhat disappointed.
Even if he was still the esteemed National Hero, he couldn't afford to casually take an ordinary person into his team when he himself was struggling for survival.
"I know Captain Lin thinks my abilities are lacking, but over this past year, I've earned enough here to buy Potential-Enhancing Drugs! Just give me enough time, and I will definitely become strong!"
As she spoke, Lucy waved her arm, as white as jade, looking eager to prove herself.
"The ordinary potential-enhancing drugs on the market have significant side effects and can be quite harmful to your body. Ultimately, how far your abilities can go will depend on luck!" Lin Yi sighed inwardly. A girl like her was indeed rare, but he wasn't planning to take her along.
"I understand, but I must do this to avenge my family!" Lucy's brows furrowed with determination, a fierce spirit radiating from her.
Lin Yi felt a stir in his heart. Her appearance reminded him of someone from his past, and Lucy seemed to overlap with a cherished memory.
Most people in the world fear death at home, but it is also true for the vast majority. Hatred knows no bounds; we will help you seek revenge. Let me use your communicator; you will be greatly rewarded in the future!
Feeling danger closing in, Lin Yi swiftly moved closer to Lucy, ready to take the communicator as soon as she agreed.
"No way! Not unless you promise me something!" Lucy pressed her hand against the communicator at her waist, adopting a defiant stance.
"Don't think that just because you have this communicator, you're in control. If you want to join our Mercenary group, you need to have combat power above Five-Star. Otherwise, even if I agree, the others will definitely not!"
This time, Lin Yi unleashed all of his Psychic Power and Consciousness. He couldn't worry about anything else now. Since Lucy didn't know he was a Zombie, it was clear that only Lion City was pursuing him; other places were still safe.
"Then how about this?"
Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a soft, delicate body entwined around him, accompanied by an intoxicating fragrance that enveloped him!
At that moment, Lin Yi was struck by a wave of heat, as if his entire body had caught fire, burning intensely!
Lin Yi was filled with shock; he never expected that the danger he sensed would come from this seemingly fragile woman before him!
"Gather!" Lin Yi abruptly focused his Psychic Power, creating a barrier that isolated him from the flames surrounding him. The moment Lucy, who had just wrapped around Lin Yi, was jolted by his Psychic Power, she fell to the ground.
Then, Lin Yi felt as if he were engulfed in hellfire; the damage from the flames was so severe that it seemed to penetrate to his very marrow!
"Hahaha, Captain Lin, I bet being burned by these flames doesn't feel good!"
At this moment, Lucy was also engulfed in roaring flames; her entire body was wrapped in crimson fire, ready to erupt at any moment.
"Who are you?" Lin Yi struggled to control the pain coursing through him. The flames around him began to dissipate as they could no longer touch his body. However, the brief moment of agony from the flames still left him in unbearable pain.
"Who am I? I can be your friend, even your lover, but I can also become your enemy!" Lucy declared, her hands swirling as two streams of fire shot towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi realized he was utterly powerless against this woman; he didn't even have enough strength left to gather Blade Qi to strike her down.
Most of his energy was spent suppressing the pervasive pain that felt like millions of ants gnawing at him!
In the next moment, two streams of fire rushed toward him. Lin Yi swiftly dodged to avoid them. However, Lucy was quick too; she redirected the flames back toward him with precision.
Hearing the roar of the flames approaching, Lin Yi decided he could no longer hold back. He shot straight up toward the roof!
"Boom!"
With a tremendous crash, Lin Yi's body—now at Nine Star Level strength—broke through the roof, creating a large hole!
Lin Yi glanced around and immediately flew toward the inland direction. With the acceleration of his Psychic Power, he almost instantaneously reached a desolate gorge.
After a few flashes, Lin Yi found a spot hidden in the shadows. At this moment, the pain in his body intensified, even affecting his thoughts!
Without hesitation, Lin Yi sat down and began to channel the energy within him to expel the pervasive micro-flames. However, these flames clung to him like a stubborn disease, tightly wrapping around parts of his flesh. If Lin Yi wanted to expel all these flame particles, it would be akin to enduring the agony of having flesh cut away.
At this moment, Lin Yi realized that if he did not expel these flame particles, his entire body would be consumed by them.
In the next moment, Lin Yi steadied his mind and activated that mysterious power within him to compress the flame particles attempting to invade his lungs.
The flame particles resembled crystals, gradually eroding and expanding around a cell in Lin Yi's body.
However, these flame particles were without a master; their actions were purely instinctual. It wasn't too difficult for Lin Yi to expel them; he simply used his Psychic Power to gather them up and then activated the movement of his cells to eliminate this "invader" from his body. Remarkably, there wasn't a single scar left on Lin Yi! This was the result of having evolved into a Nine-Star Combat Power physique, which was fundamentally different from human anatomy.
Lin Yi even felt that he was intimately familiar with every part of his body and could manipulate and combine them at will!
Thus, without much effort—about an hour later—he expelled all the densely packed flame particles from his body.
These flame particles quickly burned out after losing their cellular energy supply. When Lin Yi expelled the last flame particle from his body, he found himself surrounded by specks of black residue, remnants of those flames' combustion.
At that moment, the air around him suddenly constricted as several powerful forces descended upon him!
