“Hehehehe…” At that moment, a hoarse voice echoed from the communicator, and Charlie, whose eyes had been gouged out, was desperately shaking his head. However, a large black hand quickly seized his neck, halting his movements.
The camera gradually pulled back, revealing more of the scene to Lin Yi and the others.
“Ah—” Suddenly, several screams pierced the air as Aoling Er, Ika, and the others quickly covered their eyes and stepped back. Despite having witnessed various brutal battles, they were still unable to bear the sight before them.
Initially, Lin Yi and the others could only see Charlie’s face, but as the camera presented the entire scene, they realized that Charlie was left with nothing but a head and upper body! His limbs had been completely severed! A blade was even plunged into Charlie’s chest; Lin Yi recognized it as a dagger that Charlie often played with! Now that dagger was embedded in his chest, indicating that Charlie had attempted to take his own life but had failed.
Seeing Charlie’s tragic state on the screen filled everyone’s faces with rage; they wished they could tear apart the dark-skinned figure behind him!
“Deman! What you’re doing is just seeking your own death!” Lin Yi gritted his teeth, spitting out each word, his dark eyes filled with a blood-red glow.
In the footage, Deman squinted his eyes and replied casually, “What can you do to me? Your main attack is set for three hours later, and now I’ve seen through your plan. Do you hate me to the bone?
Hahaha! My brilliant Deman is not someone like you can shake. If you dare come this time, I’ll make sure you have no place to bury your body! The power that Lord has equipped me with is enough to annihilate your entire Mercenary group. Just come!”
Upon hearing Deman’s words, Lin Yi was taken aback; the main attack was clearly scheduled for midnight! Now Deman was saying it was three hours later. Looking at Charlie, he saw pain etched on his face, but there seemed to be a hint of satisfaction in his expression.
Everything was arranged by Charlie! The thought struck Lin Yi. His gaze towards Charlie shifted from pity to deep admiration. This setup was meant to catch Deman off guard; he even sacrificed himself as part of this scheme for the sake of surprise!
The others also caught on. These were elites among elites; how could they not understand Charlie’s intentions? After a brief moment of pain, they began to admire him.
If Deman became careless, it would greatly benefit the entire Attack, further reducing personnel losses. However, this advantage came at the cost of Charlie’s life.
“Deman, let go of Charlie, and I’ll abandon this attack!” After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yi declared. If Deman truly agreed to release Charlie, he would willingly give up this long-planned main attack, even if it nearly cost Charlie his life.
“No way!”
At that moment, a commanding voice echoed from behind Lin Yi. It was Aibolon, appearing in the holographic image, who had witnessed everything that had just transpired. However, his expression revealed little emotion.
“Albert, Charlie is your son!” Lin Yi shouted angrily, unable to bear the sight before him.
What Lin Yi failed to notice was that Albert shook his head lightly at Lin Yi's outburst. It wasn't a sigh of despair for his son's dire situation; rather, it was disappointment in Lin Yi. As a commander, faced with such a perfect opportunity to attack, he chose to abandon it for the sake of one person!
“How many families have been harmed by Zombies? How many children have perished at their hands? Should they simply give up resisting? Remember this: when you encounter injustice and no one can help you resolve it, the only thing you can do is raise your fists and fight back until that injustice is made fair!”
Aibolon's voice grew more animated as he spoke, even raising his fists in emphasis. His once pale face flushed with color. Perhaps it was for Charlie, perhaps for this rare opportunity to attack, or perhaps for the impending success.
“Stop arguing! If you dare to come, I guarantee you will go and never return!” Deman's voice came through the communicator, smugly gesturing with his middle finger. The screen zoomed out to reveal more figures appearing in front of everyone.
“Father…” At that moment, Li Qiweng suddenly gasped, covering her mouth tightly.
Lin Yi focused and realized that Li Xianzong had also been captured by the Zombies. He was bound tightly with silvery metal chains, looking utterly defeated. Just before, Li Xianzong had displayed strength far beyond the Ten-Star Peak; how had he been captured? Now he resembled an ordinary old man, his gaze unfocused as if he were unaware of the death he was about to face.
Seeing tears welling up in Li Qiweng's eyes, Lin Yi gently embraced her and reassured her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely rescue Uncle Li!” After all, Lin Yi had been saved by Li Xianzong once before; he would not stand by and do nothing now.
“Hahaha, you are truly naive!” Deman laughed heartily and nodded at a row of subordinates. Suddenly, they produced long knives from their hands.
“Don’t—”
Lin Yi shouted just as the scene erupted into a dazzling display of blades flashing everywhere.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
The continuous sound of metal grinding against vertebrae echoed through the air as heads fell to the ground one after another. At that moment, Lin Yi noticed Charlie's mouth twitching a few times; he opened his mouth as if trying to say something, but only managed to emit a series of incoherent sounds. His tongue had been severed by the opponent.
"Whoosh—"
Suddenly, a raging flame erupted around Charlie, engulfing him entirely in an instant. Lin Yi watched as Charlie's head twisted desperately, but soon the shadow within the flames transformed into wisps of light smoke and vanished without a trace.
This process lasted less than ten seconds, and those vibrant lives were reduced to headless corpses; even Charlie's body had disappeared.
"Alright, I'm waiting for you!" Deman observed everyone's reactions with great satisfaction; this was exactly the effect he desired. After uttering his final words, he cut off the communicator, plunging the entire scene into darkness.
The command center fell into a deathly silence. After an unknown amount of time, a voice broke through: "Blood for blood!"
...
As the clock struck midnight and the Death Knell rang out, ripples spread across the skies of North America, quickly enveloping it in darkness.
Next, a colorful orb of light appeared in midair. In the blink of an eye, this hemisphere expanded to cover dozens of kilometers.
"Kill!"
A chilling voice rang out as the colorful orb swayed and directly covered a massive fortress below. Countless battle Zombies resided there; in that moment, they didn't even have time to grunt before being enveloped by the orb, collectively turning into black smoke and vanishing from this world.
"Roar—Damn it!" A sharp howl reverberated through the air, followed by a figure appearing before Lin Yi and the others.
Deman's aura surged continuously, and at this moment, he had become even more powerful than before. Lin Yi looked at the strengthened Deman, feeling no fear whatsoever; instead, his fighting spirit soared.
"Absolute Space!" Lin Yi shouted, and in an instant, he vanished from sight, taking with him the Deman that everyone wished to tear apart.
Reck's eyelids twitched slightly. Even he felt a sense of terror from Lin Yi's expression just now. At that moment, the colorful energy sphere below erupted completely. In an instant, all the fortresses of Zombies within a hundred kilometers turned to ashes.
As the frontline base, this place was a factory for creating Zombie soldiers. Now, it had been utterly destroyed by Lin Yi's sudden attack, dealing a significant blow to the Zombies. Just then, Reck's communicator buzzed to life.
"Commander, the North American United Resistance Army is in position. May we attack?"
"Blood for blood!" Reck slowly uttered those four words, his aura rising once again.
Just as Reck issued the attack order, flames erupted across countless locations in North America. The entire land seemed engulfed in fierce fire at that moment! Powerful energies appeared and then vanished shortly after.
Dracula did not belong to the Zombies. He was still recuperating from severe injuries caused by Cook's self-detonation last time. He had originally planned to arrive before the so-called Human Camp's attack; now it was clear that he wouldn't make it in time.
In an instant, Reck became the most powerful person in this world, and that long-lost aura of a war god returned. Several Super Tier Zombies surrounded Reck, launching a coordinated attack in that very moment.
Reck looked at these mere second-generation Zombies with a hint of disdain in his eyes. After all, he had also gained significant strength after recovering from his injuries last time!
"Die!" Reck bellowed, his body glowing with golden light. The Zombies that had just formed their alliance were instantly sliced into countless pieces by the radiant gold light, and their crimson blood fell like rain across the skies of North America.
