As September arrived, the area around the Nile River Delta was gradually becoming more humid under the influence of the Mediterranean climate. At dawn, Lin Yi had already risen and stepped outside to do some light exercise.
Today marked Lin Yi's first expedition, and it was also his first time leading such a large force to eliminate Zombies, which naturally made him feel a bit excited. Li Qiweng strolled alongside Lin Yi by the banks of the Nile, where the river had returned to its usual tranquility without the threat of Zombies. In the distance, shrouded in mist, fishermen could be seen in their boats, seemingly hoping to improve their family's meals.
Although the Nile Defense Zone was vast, it was also densely populated. Moreover, during the flood season of the Nile River, it was difficult to cultivate food. The people here could only rely on basic food supplies each day, but they were not prohibited from obtaining food through reasonable channels.
Previously, due to the threat of Corrupted Creatures along the Nile, everyone's access to food had been cut off. Now, thanks to everyone's efforts and Zidli's sacrifice, the Zombies on the Nile were left without leadership from High-Level Zombies, and all ordinary Zombies had been eradicated.
Seeing that scene in the distance warmed Lin Yi's heart slightly. After days of relentless extermination of Zombies, he had begun to question his purpose. Now, witnessing how his efforts could provide tangible benefits for people made him feel that he was no longer working in vain.
The expedition ceremony was held in the main hall in front of the command center. Besides various levels of commanders, there were also a thousand soldier representatives present. With the threat of Zombies eliminated along the banks of the Nile, most of the troops had been withdrawn to the Quarantine Wall area. There, Zombies were even more frenzied and frequently launched attacks.
The forces originally stationed in the Nile Defense Zone had completed their guarding duties and were now directly converted into an expeditionary force. With an army of one hundred thousand equipped with modern weapons, even a million Zombies posed no threat to them. The real concern lay with High-Level Combat Power Zombies; among those accompanying the army were five Nine-Star High-Level Combat Power individuals. However, these individuals typically refrained from engaging unless a Nine-Star Zombie appeared.
Although humans were in a passive defensive state on land and even in the air, they maintained control from space—an area unreachable by Zombies. Various reconnaissance satellites operated at full capacity to monitor energy fluctuations continuously. While High-Level Zombies could conceal their energy signatures, high-speed movement inevitably released energy that could easily be detected by aerial reconnaissance satellites.
Any Zombie that revealed itself would essentially be under constant surveillance by these satellites—essentially sentenced to death. Generally speaking, unless they had absolute certainty, High-Level Combat Power Zombies rarely initiated actions. After all, once exposed, they risked relentless pursuit.
While space-based Base Laser Weapons were still not fully developed, if a ruthless extermination was warranted, even those High-Level Zombies would find it hard to escape death!
Lin Yi and Li Qiweng walked hand in hand along the riverbank for over ten kilometers until the last traces of moisture were evaporated by the blazing sun.
As assembly time approached, Lin Yi and Li Qiweng decided against returning by vehicle. After notifying personnel at their camp, they summoned their War God Suits. Following modifications by Jones and Charlie, their War God Suits had become more intelligent and could autonomously fly over upon Lin Yi's command.
In less than a minute, two shadows—one black and one red—appeared before them. Lin Yi and Li Qiweng opened their arms as their War God Suits embraced them like affectionate lovers, smoothly conforming to their bodies and forming a set of ironclad battle armor radiating cold light.
In an instant, two phantoms shot upward into the sky and vanished above the banks of the Nile.
...
At this moment, Nefel was in high spirits. During the recent African Union meeting, he had secured substantial support for his side and found several powerful mercenary groups willing to assist him. He believed this operation would yield impressive results and that he would become a significant contributor within Africa; perhaps he would even be elected as the next Alliance Chairman.
Just as Nefel was lost in thought, his secretary approached him to remind him that it was almost time for the mobilization meeting. Nefel shook his head helplessly before joining several high-ranking officials from the command center as they walked up to the Chairman's platform.
The number of soldiers below was not large compared to the vast area around them; it appeared somewhat sparse. However, neatly lined up nearby were one hundred armed transport vehicles along with hundreds of towed artillery pieces, adding an air of solemnity to the assembly.
There were seven seats on the stage, with Nefel's position in the center. The seat to his left was still empty, which made him somewhat displeased. That was Lin Yi's seat, and with less than five minutes until the meeting began, he had yet to arrive.
To Nefel's right sat the Chairman, an elderly man in his eighties who was currently squinting his eyes, seemingly asleep. The remaining four seats were occupied by members of the City Defense Force, who were the real power players.
Suddenly, a violent sound echoed through the air. Nefel looked up to see two figures, one black and one red, rapidly descending towards the Chairman's platform.
The warning system blared loudly just as Nefel prepared to retreat. The old Vice Chairman beside him patted his shoulder and said, "It's our people."
At that moment, Nefel recognized that the newcomers were Lin Yi and Li Qiweng, and the alarm system ceased its warning.
Lin Yi swayed slightly and quickly approached the Chairman's platform. He nodded apologetically to everyone and said, "Sorry everyone, I hope I'm not late!"
Nefel twitched at the corner of his eye and glanced at a clock hanging nearby; there was still a minute left until eight o'clock. Lin Yi wasn't actually late.
"Just in time! Let's start the meeting!" Nefel gestured for Lin Yi to take a seat while he adjusted the microphone.
The officials and soldiers below immediately sat up straight, placing their hands on their thighs, their sharp eyes fixed intently on the Chairman's platform.
"Since the battle at the Nile River, more than half a month has passed. During this time, thanks to everyone's efforts, all Zombies in the Nile River Segment have been completely eradicated. Our first phase of the mission has been successfully completed!
We must thank those brave warriors who have dedicated themselves to our safety and those who fought valiantly on the battlefield and survived!
Here, we must express our gratitude to my companion Lin Yi, our Captain, who will be the future Commander of the Expeditionary Force. He not only helped us eliminate the threat from the Nile River but will also help us reclaim more Zombie-occupied territories in the future!"
Nefel stood up first to applaud, and even the old Vice Chairman trembled as he stood up and clapped his hands a few times. Lin Yi awkwardly stood up as well while thunderous applause erupted from below. The applause was so synchronized it sounded like it came from a single person.
Afterward, Nefel signaled for everyone to stop before continuing, "In this operation, one-quarter of the forces from the Nile Defense Zone have been mobilized. Our mission is to break down barriers between the five major Defense Zones and use this as a foundation to drive all Zombies out of the African Continent!
The first phase of our combat mission is to unite with the Libya United Alliance to completely eradicate Zombies in Egypt and Libya! However, compared to the five major Defense Zones, Libya United Alliance is still quite weak; their forces are also very scattered. Therefore, we need to put in more effort!
You are warriors!
You are the hope of our nation!
You are your parents' hope!"
"You are the hope of your wives!
You are the hope of your children!
You are the nightmare of the Zombies!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
As Nefel's emotions surged, the soldiers below were stirred by their own fervor. One by one, the officers who had been sitting quietly raised their fists and shouted hoarsely in unison!
Lin Yi watched Nefel, whose blood was boiling with excitement, and then glanced at the elderly man beside him who seemed to be dozing off. He felt a strange unease in his heart.
This expedition seemed somewhat hasty if it wasn't already planned out. The true strength of the Zombies had never been thoroughly investigated by the Human Camp. Lin Yi couldn't believe that the Zombies would allow this hundred-thousand-strong army to slaughter them! But if it had been planned all along, then Zidli's death was rather suspicious unless there were other High-Level Combatants ready to strike at any moment! However, this raised new questions.
If he couldn't figure it out, then there was no need to dwell on it. Lin Yi shook his head and boarded the Transport Vehicle with his Blood Envoy Mercenary Corps. He understood his role; nominally acting as Commander, he was really just a temporary errand runner. The only ones who truly listened to him were the less than two thousand members of his Mercenary group.
Before departing, Lin Yi specifically sought out Aoling Er for a reading. According to Reiko's method, their journey wouldn't pose any significant danger. However, to be safe, Lin Yi spent a considerable sum to rent a synchronous Satellite to monitor Zombie activity within a fifty-kilometer radius during their expedition! Not only that, but he even arranged for Charlie to edit an automated program for his giant Transmitter rented at a low price from the Mercenary Alliance. When called upon, the Transmitter would automatically fly over!
