In just seven hours, the entire region of North America was cleared of Zombies. This achievement propelled Lin Yi's reputation to the pinnacle of human society. Many even proposed the immediate establishment of a unified United Nations, with Lin Yi as its first Chairman. However, Lin Yi naturally declined such suggestions. No one had more governance experience than Aibolon, and the ever-elusive Zombie King was enough to cause Lin Yi concern. Deep down, he had little interest in power; he understood that power came with obligations. He knew that once he occupied such a position, he would have to pay a hefty price, which was entirely unnecessary for him.
Yet, sometimes people are like this. Although Lin Yi did not wish to be Chairman, it did not mean others shared his sentiment. As soon as the war concluded, some influential figures began to mobilize. Previously, Lin Yi had established a rule that powerful individuals could not serve as leaders in any region. This was to prevent their ambitions from inflating excessively and leading to new conflicts. This rule gave hope to many who considered themselves celebrities before the Zombie Crisis; now that it was nearing an end, they believed it was their turn to take on the responsibilities of rebuilding—essentially becoming regional leaders.
Lin Yi had little interest in these power struggles; his primary task was to optimize his team's condition and eliminate the remaining Zombies in Australia and South America as soon as possible.
As for the Zombie King, Lin Yi currently had no effective strategy against it. However, should it appear, he would spare no effort to eliminate it completely, even at the cost of his own life. Regarding Dracula, Lin Yi believed his current strength was more than sufficient to handle him.
Lin Yi instructed those aware of the Zombie King's existence not to leak any information to prevent panic in the human world. However, by doing so, he concentrated all the pressure on himself, leaving him unable to truly relax despite achieving such results.
Humanity's tendency for grandiosity was evident when just after North America's Zombies were eradicated, numerous prominent figures proposed a large celebration. Lin Yi initially intended to decline outright but found himself interrupted when Aibolon arrived at his temporary command center.
"Lin Yi, my brother! I apologize for intruding at this time!" Aibolon said with a face full of regret as he entered.
"Sigh—Mr. Aibolon, are you here about the celebration?" Aibolon likely understood there was still a formidable Zombie lurking around. However, he did not realize that this particular Zombie was the most powerful one. Seeing Aibolon arrive, Lin Yi could only greet him with a smile; after all, Aibolon’s son had sacrificed his life to ensure North America's Zombies were eradicated.
"I can't help it; you may not care about these people, but I’m in this position where if they don’t cooperate, things become difficult for me!" Aibolon was now the nominal supreme commander of human society. He had decision-making power over many issues, but his subordinates were exceptional individuals who were the true executors of plans; without their cooperation, Aibolon would struggle to make progress.
"Alright then, but I can only stay for a short time—at most half an hour—because preparing for battle is urgent; I must be ready!" Perhaps out of guilt towards Charlie, Lin Yi agreed to Aibolon's request almost without hesitation.
Regardless of the situation, Lin Yi understood that living in this society required adhering to certain social rules. These influential individuals had considerable sway; as long as they could wholeheartedly assist in eliminating Zombies, Lin Yi saw no harm in attending this "meaningless" banquet.
Sometimes Lin Yi admired humanity's desire for entertainment. Just yesterday San Francisco lay in ruins; now it was filled with scenes of celebration. Many faces radiated genuine joy. People donned festive attire and greeted every passerby with warmth and politeness. It felt as if he had stepped back into the human world before the Zombie Crisis.
At that moment, a woman with an alluring figure approached Lin Yi and his group, swaying her hips as she walked over. Her fiery red lips resembled a blooming rose—strikingly eye-catching.
"Let's go!" Lin Yi sighed helplessly. These people were truly carefree, adapting to their new life so quickly. At that moment, Lin Yi regretted not explaining the severity of their situation; otherwise, these individuals would surely think twice before venturing outside.
Just as Lin Yi finished speaking, he and the people behind him suddenly vanished. The woman with Flame-Lipped features was taken aback by this scene, her face paling in shock. If it weren't for one of her companions, who had some knowledge and explained the situation to her, this lonely and hungry woman might have started shouting in panic.
Almost all the celebrities on this planet had gathered in this place. When Lin Yi and his group first appeared at the banquet hall, the noise escalated even further than before. Aibolon, the host of the event, quickly stepped onto the stage and used a microphone to announce Lin Yi's arrival.
Many people were familiar with Lin Yi; after all, a few years ago, his image frequently graced the front pages of newspapers. However, most of these individuals were ordinary people. Even now that they saw Lin Yi in person, an intangible aura around him made them subconsciously feel he was hard to approach.
As Aibolon introduced him, Lin Yi walked up to the stage, bowed slightly to the crowd, and then spoke: "Everyone, this achievement is entirely thanks to your efforts—whether you are here or have already sacrificed yourselves. I, Lin Yi, would like to express my gratitude!" Lin Yi did not use a microphone, but his voice resonated clearly as if he were speaking directly into their ears.
"Alright, everyone enjoy yourselves!" With that, Lin Yi nodded at the crowd and followed Aibolon into a private room. Regardless of the circumstances, they still needed to maintain appearances here.
As for Aibolon, he naturally had to go out and attend to the guests. It was unfortunate that at his age, he still had to run around for such matters. At that moment, Lin Yi understood why Reck often preferred to hide away; this time he had simply vanished to observe the movements of zombies in South America near North America.
The private room where Lin Yi and his companions were located spanned over a hundred square meters. With just over ten of them inside, it didn’t feel crowded at all. In the center stood a long table laden with exquisite food and fine wine. As for waitstaff, Lin Yi didn’t want any strangers interrupting them, so he opted not to have any. The people present were all part of Lin Yi's old team—except for Wang Kai and his family.
"Everyone, since we're here, feel free to help yourselves! It's been a while since we've relaxed!" Lin Yi smiled at everyone and was the first to pick up a glass of red wine. At his level of strength, he no longer had many desires regarding food and drink; he did this mainly to help everyone unwind.
"Hey, dear, since the boss has allowed us to drink, can I have a little?" Hearing Lin Yi's words, Flower Cannon turned to Jian with a pleading look.
Jian maintained her usual cold demeanor but couldn't help but chuckle at Flower Cannon's expression. A rare blush appeared on her face as she said, "Fine! If the boss says you can drink, then just do it! Why ask me?"
"Then I really will drink..." Flower Cannon's face lit up with joy; however, he still hesitated to actually take a sip.
"Stop nagging, and you won't be allowed to drink anymore!" Jian felt a bit embarrassed as everyone around her looked at her with amused smiles. She lightly punched the Flower Cannon.
"Hahaha..." Jian's action sparked laughter among the crowd. However, with the two of them joking around, the atmosphere became much livelier. Everyone relaxed and began to drink on their own.
Lin Yi sat beside Li Qiweng at the table, chatting and enjoying various delicacies. Regardless of anything else, the food was quite good and even helped replenish Lin Yi's energy. Outside, people occasionally took photos, which made Lin Yi a bit annoyed. Although they didn't dare to come in, they were quite adept at sneaking pictures.
With no other choice, Lin Yi finally instructed someone to close the partition door; he wanted to enjoy this rare leisure time properly.
At that moment, Wang Kai, who had been standing by the door drinking, suddenly walked over. He raised his cup in front of Lin Yi and casually called out, "President Lin, let's have a drink!"
Lin Yi instinctively lifted his cup and clinked it with Wang Kai's. The crisp sound of their glasses clinking resonated like a single-string melody, buzzing in the air.
Suddenly, Lin Yi widened his eyes at Wang Kai. If he remembered correctly, Wang Kai had just called him President! Although everyone here was someone he trusted, Lin Yi didn't want to put them in danger because of his true identity.
"What's wrong, President Lin?" Wang Kai called out again. His voice echoed in the small room, making sure everyone heard him.
"You... did that on purpose!" At this moment, Lin Yi understood Wang Kai's intention but couldn't fathom why he would do such a thing!
Wang Kai's expression suddenly turned serious. He waved his hand and shouted, "Long live the Divine Clan!" To be continued...
