Is this the might of a Nine-Star Level Combatant? Lin Yi was taken aback at that moment. He was confident that his physical strength had reached a terrifying level, yet compared to the Zombie Matriarch before him, he felt insignificant.
"Hmph, today is the end for you two ghosts!" The Zombie Matriarch saw that the two were still in shock and, with a blur of her arms, thrust both hands toward Lin Yi and Li Qiweng's necks. A chilling light glimmered on her green fingertips, sending shivers down their spines.
"Drop!" Lin Yi and Li Qiweng shouted in unison as they sensed the deadly threat from the Zombie Matriarch's fingertips.
They had no other choice; fleeing would only lead to being picked off one by one. They had to fight, aiming to incapacitate this Zombie completely! Now they were gambling on whose strike would be faster: their blades or the Zombie Matriarch's claws!
Everything happened in an instant. Just as the Old Crone's arms transformed into the fangs of a venomous snake, Lin Yi and Li Qiweng wielded their sharp blades with lightning speed!
As soon as they uttered "Drop," the two blades that had been suspended in mid-air descended upon the Zombie Matriarch's arms!
In the next moment, as a flash of cold light passed, empowered by their Psychic Power and the sharpness of their blades, a sound like fabric tearing echoed through the air. The Silver Soul and Dragon's Roar struck downwards, severing the Zombie Matriarch's arms.
In just a breath's time, even as Lin Yi and Li Qiweng's legs kicked against the Zombie Matriarch's body, the Old Crone's powerful arms were already cut off at the shoulders!
"You damned ghosts! How dare you ambush me!" The Old Crone realized something was wrong immediately after losing her arms. Her face twisted in rage, her already wrinkled features now appeared even more sinister!
In the next moment, the Old Crone's mouth opened at an unbelievable angle, her white sharp teeth gleaming like a giant python’s fangs!
With a hiss, the Zombie Matriarch’s tongue shot out from her mouth, splitting into two directions as it lunged toward Lin Yi and Li Qiweng’s throats!
Although the Zombie Matriarch was fast, Lin Yi and Li Qiweng had already retreated as soon as their blades fell! By the time the Zombie Matriarch’s tongue shot out, they were already over a meter away!
Strangely enough, it seemed there was no limit to the length of the Zombie Matriarch’s tongue. Even after retreating over a meter away from its initial strike, both Lin Yi and Li Qiweng found themselves forced back another meter! The Old Crone's dark tongue followed closely behind them like an unshakeable curse!
At that moment, Lin Yi had already found the time to swing his blade down.
The sound of "hiss hiss" echoed repeatedly, as if he had struck a power line, yet this seemingly weak tongue bore no scars at all! However, Lin Yi had anticipated this situation long ago. Although his strike did not sever Old Crone's tongue, it effectively halted its advance for a moment.
Suddenly, Lin Yi raised one hand, and a Laser Beam shot directly toward Old Crone's head! In that fleeting instant, Lin Yi and the War God Suit made a decision to use the Laser Beam to incinerate Old Crone's head. To ensure precise targeting of Old Crone's position, Lin Yi even entrusted the shooting rights to the Intelligent System!
"Thud—" As soon as the crimson Laser Beam shot from Lin Yi's arm, a massive gash appeared on Old Crone's head, nearly melting away half of it under the beam of the Laser Cannon.
"Ha—" Lin Yi exhaled deeply. Although the Zombie Matriarch still stood firm, its mouth gaping open at a horrifying angle, with its long tongue limply sprawled on the ground and black liquid continuously oozing from its head, this Nine-Star Zombie was finally dealt with. It was as if he had snatched back a life from the clutches of death!
"Ah—I'm going to kill you!" Suddenly, the Nine-Star Zombie, which should have been dead, shouted loudly. Its tongue, resembling a withered vine, flailed wildly. In its rage, the black putrid liquid from half of its head sprayed out violently!
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat as he prepared to strike Old Crone again. Just three meters away, Old Crone suddenly exploded with a loud "Boom!" At that moment, Lin Yi felt a tightness in his back and swiftly retreated just in time to evade the massive force generated by the explosion.
"I'll blow you to ashes; I don't believe you won't die!" Li Qiweng glared at the burning corpse of the Zombie Matriarch several dozen meters away, fuming.
"Cough cough. Wen, you're really amazing." Lin Yi understood that in that instant, Li Qiweng had unhesitatingly fired a miniature Missile from her arm, obliterating the Zombie into fragments!
"Of course! Whoever bullies my husband will face my wrath!" Li Qiweng raised an eyebrow playfully. Then she nestled against Lin Yi's chest like a bird seeking warmth, showcasing her feminine charm.
"No need; I should be protecting you instead." Lin Yi suddenly felt a pang of emotion in his eyes. Li Qiweng was usually decisive and fierce; it was rare for her to show such vulnerability. She must still be shaken by their brush with death earlier and feared losing Lin Yi.
"Yes, I want you to be well; I want you to always be my king..."
In a secret location within the Addis Ababa Defense Zone, a festive atmosphere filled the air. Just three hours earlier, the test of the Mechanical Armor had been a resounding success, a moment worth celebrating for the researchers who had worked tirelessly for a year.
At this moment, Paul, the key contributor to the practical application of this success, was receiving an award from a general at the command center. Although it was merely a symbolic honor, it represented the highest accolade for a soldier.
However, the atmosphere at the scene did not resemble that of a typical award ceremony. Aside from Paul receiving a shoulder insignia, other researchers were only rewarded with some Contribution Points. Most of the attendees' attention was drawn to an elderly man sitting under a large tree, appearing to doze off. Yet, his bony hand occasionally stroked a cat curled up on his lap, indicating that he was not truly asleep; perhaps he was just too old and weary.
"This is the Addis Ababa Defense Zone, where the true power lies in Ethiopia, and he is their Supreme Leader!" Li Qiweng's knowledge far surpassed Lin Yi's; he quickly realized the true identity of the elderly man before him.
"His aura is so weak, yet it seems incredibly stubborn, as if he is holding on," Lin Yi thought as he instinctively released his Psychic Power to sense the elderly man's declining physical condition while also perceiving the force sustaining his life.
"He must be over a hundred years old. He was already famous when my father was young," Li Qiweng said respectfully, her gaze toward the elder filled with admiration for someone who had lived for a century.
Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully; he decided to learn more about this elder after the ceremony concluded.
"Mr. Lin Yi!" Suddenly, Lin Yi's name echoed from the podium as he snapped back to attention. He realized that his recent accomplishments alongside Li Qiweng—defeating a Nine-Star Zombie and ten Five-Star Zombies—had earned him recognition.
"Li Qiweng!"
Li Qiweng stood up as well, walking alongside Lin Yi toward the podium. A leader from the research unit smiled broadly at them and said, "If it weren't for both of you, this entire experiment might have failed! Moreover, you two are the first to defeat a Nine-Star Zombie with combat power below Nine-Star Combat Power. This is something worth promoting and will boost public confidence in resisting Zombies!"
"You flatter me; I merely fulfilled my duty as a human," Lin Yi replied with a shy smile, unaccustomed to such praise.
"Mr. Lin Yi and Sister Li are a perfect match; they will surely create even more brilliant stories in the future!" The leader waved his hand, signaling for an award presenter to bring over a tray.
Immediately, the leader handed a black card from the tray to Lin Yi and said, "Mr. Lin and Sister Li, your contributions have been immense. With the approval of our Supreme Leader, we have decided to reward you with one hundred million Contribution Points!"
"One hundred million!" Although Lin Yi anticipated some benefits from his assistance, he never expected to receive such a substantial reward in just one morning.
"Yes, one hundred million. You both share the rights to this wealth!" The leader's hands trembled slightly as he spoke; it seemed he was also surprised by the high amount of Contribution Points awarded to this Mercenary Captain.
Lin Yi and Li Qiweng were the last to receive their rewards, and once they obtained the one hundred million Contribution Points, the brief recognition ceremony came to an end.
Just as they were about to leave, the elderly man who had been silent suddenly stood up. His previously murky eyes now sparkled with clarity, exuding an aura of wisdom.
"Lin, can you spare a few words with this old man?" The elder's voice was soft but clearly reached Lin Yi's ears.
Almost as soon as the elder finished speaking, Lin Yi found himself nodding unconsciously, not even realizing he had agreed to the elder's request.
"I'll wait for you outside!" A hint of confusion appeared in Li Qiweng's eyes as she leaned closer to Lin Yi and whispered.
Lin Yi felt a tingling sensation in his ear and snapped out of his daze. He nodded at Li Qiweng and walked directly toward the elder.
