When Lin Yi finally emerged from Absolute Space with Ouyang Shasha, ten minutes had already passed, and the remaining Zombies outside had been completely wiped out.
Without waiting for everyone to ask questions, Lin Yi led them back to Corsica. As for the remaining issues, they would naturally be handed over to Rome's Resistance. The High-Level Zombies had already been eliminated by them, so what was left was no longer a problem.
This Christmas offensive ended with the most satisfactory results. Lin Yi's achievements of eliminating two Second Generation Zombies and over a thousand High-Level Zombies spread across the globe in no time. Whether it was the Resistance or those imprisoned by Zombies, they received this news in various ways. In an instant, everyone felt that they were merely in the darkness before dawn, soon to welcome the bright light.
However, Lin Yi felt a lingering worry in his heart. Before he left Absolute Space, Zhao Pei had revealed a few secrets to him. There was at least one more powerful Zombie above the First Generation Zombies, one that even Zhao Pei was not qualified to meet. This Zombie was the most formidable Zombie King of the week; it could control any Zombie in the world. In other words, no Zombie could escape the control of this Zombie King, which also monitored every location where Zombies existed.
Previously, Lin Yi had been unable to escape the watchful eye of that king due to the presence of Zombie Virus in his body. No matter where he went, the Zombie King would know and notify its agents to surround him!
Fortunately, it seemed that this Zombie King could not use its full power for some reason, which was one reason for the stalemate between both sides. Otherwise, with the strength of the Zombie King, all Zombies worldwide would act as coordinated soldiers, rendering the Resistance powerless even if they retreated to Antarctica.
Regarding Zhao Pei's future father-in-law, Zhao Pei had learned a thing or two. He told Lin Yi that Dracula had now evolved to royal strength; ordinary fighters surpassing Ten-Star Peak were nothing but trash before him! This vampire was currently cooperating with Zombies. However, anyone with clear eyes could see that their collaboration was merely an illusion—just a way to deceive ordinary people.
Both vampires and Zombies shared a characteristic: they needed to consume blood to gain strength and even evolve. However, vampires considered themselves the true nobility of this planet and naturally looked down upon those decaying and foul Zombies. On the other hand, Zombies believed their strength was sufficient to seize control of this planet and dismissed the already declining vampire clan.
Nonetheless, Lin Yi knew that humanity had at least two super strong individuals; he just hadn't had the chance to meet them yet. Therefore, he did not lose hope; he understood that humanity's foundation was far from exhausted.
On the second morning after the Christmas offensive concluded, Lin Yi welcomed an unexpected visitor: Cook from Alliance Headquarters—the person Lin Yi had wanted to meet but couldn't before.
Hearing someone on a one-way communication channel through his earpiece, Lin Yi reluctantly crawled out from under his covers. Corsica was already his territory; for freedom's sake, he occupied a sprawling estate all by himself. Although he wasn't someone who loved sleeping in late, seeing Beauty beside him made his blood boil uncontrollably in the morning—naturally leading to a fierce battle to showcase his masculinity.
Just then, a sudden soft crackle from his earpiece startled Lin Yi so much that he questioned whether he could still be so vigorous afterward. Ying Sa beneath him looked at Lin Yi with flushed cheeks. Her eyes were hazy with intoxication and her lips curled into a slight pout of annoyance. She was enjoying herself; how could it end like this?
"Sorry, someone is looking for me outside!"
Lin Yi didn't want to admit that it was Renesmee who had just contacted him; otherwise, this charming beauty before him might start imagining some dramatic scenarios.
Renesmee had always been aloof; surely her visitor wouldn't be an ordinary person. Considering his recent actions, only a few individuals could be expected.
Lin Yi quickly dressed in fitted attire. His physique showed no excess fat; his muscles were subtly defined but bursting with tension when unleashed. He exuded an aura of warmth yet boundless vitality. Meanwhile, Ying Sa rested her chin on one hand and gazed at Lin Yi with rapt admiration; her lips curled into a silly smile while her eyes sparkled with joy—one couldn't tell what she was thinking.
"Honey, come back early."
Seeing Lin Yi fully dressed, Ying Sa disregarded her own exposed beauty displayed before him and playfully pouted at Lin Yi with reluctance.
Lin Yi felt a surge of excitement as his once docile brother stood up again. In an instant, he blurred and appeared in front of Ying Sa, wrapping his arms around her face and planting a fierce kiss on her baby-soft skin before vanishing.
...
As he walked into the reception hall, Lin Yi noticed a short figure with silver hair facing away from him. He guessed it was an elderly man. Out of respect, Lin Yi refrained from using his Psychic Power to probe, so he wasn't quite sure who had arrived.
The seemingly ordinary old man appeared oblivious to Lin Yi's presence, instead gazing at the photographs displayed in the reception hall. These were portraits of the members of the Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps who had sacrificed their lives. Lin Yi had specifically included them in the honor wall. This was also one of the reasons he aimed to take Corsica; those who followed him deserved a place to be honored after their deaths.
"You've done well. With this, I can entrust the Mercenary Alliance to you without worry. You will lead everyone towards an even more glorious future!"
Before Lin Yi could respond, the old man's rich and praising voice rang out.
"This is merely to commemorate our fallen brothers; it’s nothing special," Lin Yi reflexively replied upon hearing the compliment. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, "Wait, you want to hand the Mercenary Alliance over to me?"
"What's wrong? Are you afraid to take on this task?" The old man turned around, his face flushed and skin smooth. If not for his silver hair and wise eyes that spoke of years gone by, no one would guess he was elderly.
"This... Chairman Cook—"
Lin Yi's mind, which had been somewhat foggy, suddenly cleared in shock. First it was about the Mercenary Alliance, and now he was face-to-face with an old acquaintance—Chairman Cook.
Cook chuckled upon hearing Lin Yi's voice. Suddenly, Lin Yi felt as if something about this elderly man had changed, yet he couldn't pinpoint what it was. He sensed that the Cook before him was no longer just Cook but had transformed into someone else entirely.
Strangely enough, Cook's appearance seemed unchanged; he still looked like an old man. However, Lin Yi could tell that his aura and presence had shifted dramatically. At that moment, Cook exuded an air of mystery and superiority that felt both elusive and imposing.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Lin Yi snapped back to reality. In the next instant, a powerful aura surged from him. Although this person before him didn't emit any dangerous vibes, it was clear that he was not Cook!
"You're still a bit impulsive, huh? But that's alright; I may lack the youthful passion you have as an old guy like me, but I can't deny its benefits..."
The transformed Cook wore a broad smile and looked harmlessly at Lin Yi as if completely unaware that Lin Yi was ready to strike him down.
"Who are you? Where is Chairman Cook?"
Lin Yi knew that this person's strength was extraordinary; there was no need for games or tricks between them, so he asked directly.
"I am Cook, and Cook is me!"
As the old man spoke, his face seemed to be shrouded in a mist, swirling back and forth, appearing at one moment as Cook and at another as a different person resembling Cook.
Lin Yi was greatly astonished; it was simply too strange. Clearly, it was the same person, yet it gave off two entirely different impressions. The vastness of this world truly held wonders beyond imagination.
"Alright, I'm not joking with you anymore. If you were to fight me, this estate would likely be reduced to rubble in an instant!"
Cook changed his tone, maintaining the familiar appearance that Lin Yi recognized. He sensed Lin Yi's rising momentum and knew he was preparing to strike.
"Who exactly are you? I don't believe you are truly the person I know!" A powerful individual could change their appearance according to their preferences, but most would not choose to do so. After all, as one's strength increased, so did their state of mind, leading them to disregard superficial matters.
Lin Yi now suspected that the other party was an imposter, though he couldn't yet see through the disguise.
"I am Chairman Cook, but I also hold another identity as the President of the Mercenary Alliance." As Cook finished speaking, an aura of authority emanated from him. In truth, Cook had not done anything specific, yet he exuded an elusive sense of profundity.
The alliance's President! Upon hearing Cook's introduction, Lin Yi felt as if his jaw might drop in shock. All along, he had been part of the upper echelons of the Mercenary Alliance, yet he had never encountered the actual President. This figure had always been elusive, with matters typically resolved by the Vice President or through discussions among several Vice Chairmen.
Now suddenly facing the true leader of the alliance, Lin Yi felt a mix of astonishment and skepticism. However, he observed that the other's strength was undoubtedly on par with his own; there was no reason for him to deliberately conceal his identity. Lin Yi believed that if the other party wished it, not only this estate but perhaps all of Corsica could be turned into ruins under his command.
