No matter how difficult the situation, someone still had to take action. Therefore, after dealing with the Nile Crocodile, he did not feel any fear. While this place was indeed dangerous, it was primarily a threat to ordinary people or weaker groups. He was confident that his Blood Envoy and Mercenary team had already reached world-class strength.
The Nile Defense Zone had done a commendable job in terms of defense, but that was the result of everyone's efforts. At this moment, there were naturally no extra hands available to help Lin Yi tidy up the base. Fortunately, Lin Yi was already accustomed to this kind of life and announced that everyone should clean up their own sleeping areas.
Ouyang Shasha, who had been hesitating not far from Lin Yi, finally squeezed her way to his side. The man before her was no longer the same as when she first met him; both his personal strength and the power he wielded had reached heights that were hard for an average person to attain.
Even though Ouyang Shasha's charm could captivate many men, she felt increasingly nervous in front of Lin Yi.
"Captain, it's like this. Earlier, I mentioned that the Dark Night Vampire Mercenary Corps is also here. They are responsible for an area along the banks of the Nile and have suffered significant losses over the past year. I want to go check on them. I have over a million Contribution Points here and can help improve their equipment."
Lin Yi naturally held no goodwill toward the Dark Night Vampire Corps. To resolve the troubles they caused, he had found himself in dire situations multiple times, nearly losing his teammates to zombies. However, time had passed, and Lin Yi's perspective had broadened significantly; he would not hold grudges against that mercenary group anymore.
"If they are willing, they can join us!" Beatrice and Carlo's strength had improved considerably over the past year, even if it hadn't increased dramatically. Their ability to endure along the perilous banks of the Nile for so long indicated that they must have grown stronger.
Ouyang Shasha nodded gratefully and then stood on her tiptoes to give Lin Yi a light kiss on his lips. Her cheeks flushed as she hurriedly left.
With Lin Yi's reaction speed, he could have easily dodged it, but he made no move to do so. Although he felt a pang of guilt toward Li Qiweng, there was an unusual sweetness in his heart.
After a quick meal, everyone began to prepare defenses. According to their estimates, the number of Nile Crocodiles was certainly not just a few hundred. More critically, there seemed to be someone controlling their movements from behind. This was terrifying; it indicated an organized attack.
Moreover, these Nile Crocodiles had undergone Corpseification and possessed combat power equivalent to Three-Star level. Generally speaking, even a Four-Star Combat Power would require considerable effort to kill a single Nile Crocodile. Countless ambushes had shown that these creatures could end their combat effectiveness within minutes and submerge into the riverbed.
The Security Forces had been tirelessly attempting to locate the lair of the Nile Crocodile, but as long as it did not make an appearance, it seemed to have vanished completely, eluding all their searches.
For this reason, the banks of the Nile were considered one of the most terrifying places. While other areas appeared peaceful, this was undoubtedly a death zone. According to intelligence estimates, the Nile Defense Zone was guarded by at least three Nine-Star Masters, just in case.
The military presence along the Nile was even stronger than that of the outer Quarantine Wall, highlighting the danger of this area. However, Lin Yi was not overly concerned. Musa had assigned him here; though not out of goodwill, it provided Lin Yi with an opportunity to prove himself further.
With hidden dangers lurking, Lin Yi knew that if someone intended to harm him, the best course of action was to maintain a deterrent against his enemies. That deterrent would naturally come from eliminating these Zombies and Undead Creatures.
Surrounding Lin Yi were mostly City Defense Forces, with only a few Mercenary units present. Moreover, these Mercenary groups were ranked among the top thirty in the world, including a division of the Golden Mercenary Corps.
After delegating all tasks, Lin Yi sought out Jiao Jiao. He needed to understand the distribution of military forces around him so he could strategize for facing the Nile Crocodile.
"Lily assured Captain that we will complete the mission!" Jiao Jiao said seriously, setting aside her usual temper as she looked at Lin Yi. After days of running around, fatigue was evident on her face.
This was Jiao Jiao's first mission since the intelligence team was formed, and she naturally needed to put in her utmost effort. Jones was equally determined and immediately began calibrating equipment. As part of a surveillance system, it could effectively gather and intercept relevant information. Charlie assisted in restoring the communication system and was responsible for compiling related intelligence software. This was aimed at decrypting some encrypted messages; human traitors would certainly use communication systems, so intercepting and analyzing them could yield crucial intelligence.
The Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps' base was originally a massive military camp measuring about two kilometers long and two hundred meters wide. However, after several bloody attacks by the Nile Crocodile, it had become somewhat desolate. Lin Yi had faced seas of blood and mountains of corpses before; such situations did not frighten him.
Once the nearly two thousand Mercenaries sprang into action, the entire camp transformed into a massive construction site. Many possessed Abilities, making tasks much easier compared to ordinary people.
David acted as an aerial drone, directing everyone below in arranging supplies. The Fire Dragon unleashed flames that incinerated all waste that needed to be burned on the spot. As for Taishan, although not particularly strong in combat, his sheer power was immense; he easily toppled dilapidated buildings for reconstruction. Woods worked twice as hard as anyone else while occasionally cracking jokes that made the older men laugh heartily.
Renesmee and Nicolas often stayed indoors due to their fear of sunlight, tidying up their quarters. The other Mercenaries had seen an increase in their combat abilities and were working energetically on their tasks.
In just a short time, the once dilapidated military camp had been tidied up by everyone, with even the trash burned to a pile of ash and then frozen and discarded into the Nile River by Renesmee using her Frozen Domain.
Next came the defense mission. The military camp covered a large area, but the side facing the Nile River was the most dangerous. This was precisely where the accommodation area was located. Lin Yi decided to have half of the personnel stay here so they could respond quickly in case of an emergency. Outside the camp, there was a twenty-four-hour infrared surveillance system equipped with automatic alarms, friend-or-foe identification, and powerful twenty-millimeter artillery! Lin Yi had procured this system directly from the City Defense Force's armory. Although it wasn't very advanced, it still cost Lin Yi a significant amount of Contribution Points.
Moreover, as night fell, Lin Yi deployed ten unmanned surveillance drones along the banks of the Nile River. As long as Nile Crocodiles or any other dangerous Undead Creatures approached, Lin Yi would have enough time to react.
To minimize casualties, Lin Yi spared no expense in acquiring an electric net system to defend against aerial threats, equipping each person with an Electric Net Orb. Each orb cost ten thousand Contribution Points, and this single expenditure drained nearly twenty million Contribution Points from Lin Yi. To make matters worse, recharging these Electric Net Orbs was quite special; once depleted, they required one hundred Contribution Points for a recharge!
As the last glimmer of light disappeared below the horizon, night had fallen over the Nile River. Danny followed Lin Yi's instructions and took position at the highest point of the camp with night vision goggles for observation, while Akin assisted him. At this moment, their combat power had evolved to Two-Star, and their vision was enhanced under the magnification of the night vision equipment. Although there were aerial instruments monitoring the area, Lin Yi still felt uneasy; no matter how good the machines were, nothing could replace human vigilance.
Lin Yi was in his organized room reviewing intelligence gathered by Jiao Jiao. This was Lin Yi's office area, and even Li Qiweng, who had always been by his side, was not present at that moment. It wasn't that Lin Yi had suddenly become paranoid; he simply understood that the more people knew about something, the more troublesome it became to handle.
Since they were only facing friendly forces this time, Jiao Jiao's intelligence-gathering task was straightforward—just bringing people over for some basic inquiries. Of course, Wu Hao accompanied them to ensure that the information collected was more detailed. However, whether it was the Mercenary group or the City Defense Force, both had Ability users among them, so Wu Hao and his team naturally didn't dare to go too far.
According to the intelligence gathered, two divisions of the City Defense Force were stationed within a five-kilometer radius on either side of Lin Yi's position, directly under the command center of the Nile Defense Zone: the First and Second Combat Brigades of the Presidential Guard! This so-called Presidential Guard was undoubtedly Cairo's most elite Armed Forces.
Lin Yi did not expect his neighbors to be so formidable. Adjacent to the First Combat Brigade was a Mercenary group ranked third in the world; this Mercenary group also had a division stationed here. In total, there were ten combat units surrounding Lin Yi's position along with his own eleven units—only two of which were Mercenary groups.
However, these eleven combat units formed a defensive line stretching three hundred kilometers long; aside from Lin Yi's relatively weaker defense line, other defensive areas exceeded twenty kilometers! This also indicated that there was a higher likelihood of encountering Nile Crocodiles in Lin Yi's vicinity! Directly across from him lay an island formed by sediment in the Nile River—the largest such island—which likely served as hiding grounds for those Nile Crocodiles that frequently launched attacks nearby. Yet these Corpseified giant crocodiles were exceptionally skilled at concealing themselves; even someone with Nine-Star Combat Power would struggle to find them.
