The last island conquered by Lin Yi was Rhodes Island, located near Turkey. Initially, this place had very few High-Level Zombies, and Lin Yi single-handedly wiped out all the high-level threats! This was also due to its proximity to the former great empire, which had a large population that could potentially provide reinforcements at any moment.
As Lin Yi expected, just as the experts he led were preparing to clean up the battlefield and had not yet established defensive measures, a powerful force descended upon them.
This force far exceeded the Ten-Star Peak, and even Lin Yi felt an immense threat. Without hesitation, Lin Yi pulled the expert wielding this power into his Absolute Space. However, this Super Expert possessed an Ability that allowed them to transform into a colorless and odorless gas. Although Lin Yi held an absolute advantage, every time he attempted to attack, it felt as if he were swinging his fists through empty air; he could not truly destroy them!
To prevent this expert from ambushing his allies, he kept them trapped in his Absolute Space! For the first time, Lin Yi felt helpless. His Spatial Ability was indeed miraculous, but faced with something akin to air, he found himself utterly powerless!
In the end, concerned that even more formidable forces might come to reinforce the enemy, Lin Yi directly tossed this expert into a chaotic spatial rift! However, throwing them into the rift required Lin Yi to take risks himself as he slowly maneuvered them over. In the end, he nearly got trapped in the rift himself; if it weren't for his last-minute use of Metal Transformation, he would have been torn to shreds by the rift. As for the one with the extraordinary Ability, they fell into the spatial rift and could never escape. Lin Yi believed that it wouldn't be long before this Zombie would be reduced to fragments when their energy ran out in despair!
Perhaps believing they could succeed this time, after Lin Yi emerged from the Alternate Dimension, he discovered that the Zombies had not sent any more forces. However, those who had lost Lin Yi's support suffered severe casualties; Sean died after being fatally wounded by a Zombie.
The remaining members also suffered significant losses. Almost everyone who did not reach Ten-Star Combat Power perished! This battle marked one of the most devastating losses for Lin Yi's forces in terms of combat power!
Afterward, once Lin Yi reached the edge of Turkey where the Resistance was holding out against the war, he returned with the survivors to Corsica for rest. As for those who had died, Lin Yi could only bring them back to the island for a proper burial so that everyone would remember these heroes who fought for this planet!
This period of rest lasted for half a month as 2004 came to an end and a new year approached. The Resistance Joint Command made a decision to launch a siege in Rome to reclaim the city and rekindle people's faith in light! Naturally, this mission was entrusted to Lin Yi's forces, with nearby Resistance branches fully cooperating with this operation.
During these half-months of rest, Lin Yi did not remain idle; on one hand, he worked on improving his Mercenaries' combat abilities while also gathering information. He had lost combat power for over two months last time and had not had time to understand many issues.
His only concern was for his parents. Therefore, on the first day of rest, he returned to Lion City. However, he discovered that an extremely powerful force was stationed there. Just as he arrived, it appeared before him; if it weren't for his quick reflexes, he might have met a tragic end in the Strait of Malacca!
Later on, through various channels, he learned that while Lion City was under Zombie control, there had been no massacre; everyone simply lost their freedom. What surprised him even more was that Li Xianzong had not managed to escape from Lion City and was currently imprisoned!
Lin Yi had always harbored doubts about Li Xianzong, but now seeing how favorable things were for the Zombies, Li Xianzong had no reason to continue pretending. The rumors about him fell apart under scrutiny. While Li Xianzong may have compromised at some point, he was certainly not on the side of the Zombies!
As for Li Qiweng, Lin Yi could find no trace of her. Even Draculaus—the one who nearly killed him—had vanished without a trace and taken Ying Sa's older brothers with him!
However, Lin Yi truly did not have extra time to focus on these matters now. He faced pressure from the Resistance and constant threats from the Zombies!
Even though Beauty was always by his side, Lin Yi mostly lacked enthusiasm for these matters. This led Ying Sa to believe that Lin Yi no longer liked her; she kept changing her appearance daily but ended up providing him with benefits that he couldn't experience with Li Qiweng. However, after Ying Sa realized Lin Yi's true feelings later on, she became so shy that she hardly dared to pursue those matters anymore.
Time finally reached January 4, 4 AD, the very day Lin Yi planned to attack Rome. The Resistance Alliance had stubbornly insisted that Lin Yi prioritize the greater good.
Lin Yi was not one to be overly sentimental; he immediately summoned all members of the Mercenary group. The power of Rome was the strongest force across the Mediterranean, with countless Zombies stationed within. Although Lin Yi's forces could each take on a hundred, he dared not be careless at this moment.
This time, Lin Yi directly utilized his Spatial Ability, transporting thousands of people to the outskirts of Rome in the blink of an eye. This was a place where he had fought before, and now he returned once more!
However, the next moment, Lin Yi sensed a familiar aura. Yet, his memory of this presence felt distant—so distant that he could hardly determine if it was merely his imagination.
As this powerful aura landed, everyone realized that those who had followed him were certainly not few in number, and the vast majority were at least Ten-Star Peak warriors, with many even exceeding that level.
Lin Yi felt a twinge of apprehension in his heart. However, he still had trump cards up his sleeve; revealing all his strength to the enemy would be tantamount to seeking death!
While Lin Yi was still trying to recall where he had felt this aura before, a golden Long-Haired Zombie stepped forward into the void.
This Zombie had long golden hair and a face as smooth as a woman's, but its throat clearly protruded with an Adam's apple! Its entire figure was slender, resembling a frail youth.
"Captain Lin, we finally meet. I've been waiting for this moment for so long!" The Long-Haired Zombie's voice was clear yet carried a cold murderous intent, like invisible blades slicing through the air.
At that moment, Lin Yi finally remembered—this was the Zombie that had lurked by the Nile River years ago! At that time, due to its Immortal Body, despite several experts attacking it, they had only managed to sever one of its arms while losing one of their own fierce warriors! Of course, this incident led to Lin Yi becoming the Commander of the Nile Expeditionary Force and set off a series of subsequent events.
The Nine-Star Combat Power Zombie from back then now possessed strength that even Lin Yi found somewhat difficult to gauge. It seemed that over these years, it had been patiently biding its time and continuously enhancing its power!
"Indeed. But I think you will regret meeting me today!"
Not one to lose face despite having fewer numbers, Lin Yi's side could not show any sign of compromise in terms of momentum. Moreover, he held absolute confidence; with his Spatial Ability, how many in this world could truly rival him?
"Is that so? Then let’s see who will regret it!"
Given their life-and-death relationship, there was no time for nostalgia. Just as the Long-Haired Zombie finished speaking, it waved its hand as a signal for battle. In an instant, it vanished completely—its presence disappearing without a trace!
The next moment, the previously silent Zombie ranks erupted into chaos as they charged toward Lin Yi's forces! Waves of brutal energy instantly disrupted the atmosphere of the battlefield as these formidable warriors engaged in fierce combat.
Lin Yi felt an ominous sense of foreboding. The Zombies had already overwhelmed his side with their strength! However, he had been keeping an eye on the aura of the Zombie that had just vanished. At this moment, he had to focus on the most powerful Zombie; otherwise, if it freed itself, most of the people on his side would surely perish!
Just as the Long-Haired Zombie disappeared, Lin Yi's mind stirred, and subtle ripples spread around him, emanating a peculiar aura, while he remained completely still.
Suddenly, a shadowy figure appeared beside Lin Yi, and a beam of white light shot toward his heart!
At that moment, a bizarre scene unfolded. The white light seemed to encounter a black hole and vanished the instant it appeared!
"Spatial Ability, truly impressive!"
A voice of admiration rang in Lin Yi's ears as the Long-Haired Zombie's figure materialized. Just moments before, Lin Yi had created several entrances to an Alternate Dimension around him, directly sending the Long-Haired Zombie's Crimson Energy Blade into the Alternate Dimension!
Now that the Long-Haired Zombie had reappeared, Lin Yi wouldn't hold back! As soon as the words left the opponent's mouth, a Crimson Lightning faster than before shot toward the Long-Haired Zombie's forehead like a long serpent!
With a crisp sound, the Crimson Lightning pierced straight through the Long-Haired Zombie's forehead.
Wait! The aura is so weak! Just as the Crimson Lightning drilled into the Long-Haired Zombie's forehead, Lin Yi realized that this Zombie's presence had already vanished.
Suddenly, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow as an exceptionally powerful force surged behind him! He felt as if a bucket of ice water had been thrown over him; the Long-Haired Zombie had actually launched an attack on Ying Sa and the others!
