Beastman territory, at the checkpoint.
Most humans and Beastmen went home to sleep, but a few stayed behind to collect spoils or stand guard.
The Beastmen also sent scouts to the Evil Spirit's territory, so they could know the timing of the next invasion.
On the eve of battle, the soldiers barely slept, but this time they fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.
Three days of relentless fighting left not only their men exhausted but also their equipment severely worn.
Five machine guns were almost scrapped, and two were slightly damaged but still required careful repair.
It was a quiet and peaceful night, with no disturbance from the Zombies or Beastmen.
The next morning.
After a hearty breakfast, Lin Yi began distributing the spoils of war.
This campaign collected a total of 23,000 intact corpses, about 6,000 charred bodies, and approximately 10,000 corpses dissolved by acid.
A large number of Coins were also found.
It took a long time, and everyone carefully counted them; the total number was slightly over 264,000.
There were also 1,366 Second Level Energy Cores.
Four Third Level Energy Cores.
There were also many Reward Eggs!
The Shelter received 1,520 white rewards.
1,107 green rewards, and 670 blue rewards.
Five purple Reward Eggs!
Upon hearing these numbers, Lin Yi was so delighted his heart nearly stopped beating.
The Beastmen revered the Reward Egg shells extremely; each Beastman only received a small piece, and the rest were sent to the warehouse for use in special festive feasts.
Lin Yi planned to build walls on every side of the Shelter, not just the south, which would cost about a million Coins...
Lin Yi sent a message to Terghai through the Negotiation Board asking, "Any news from the scouts?"
"The Monarch of the Evil Spirit wants to lure us to him. He has already gathered his forces, but his territory is very large, and the scouts barely surveyed one-fifth of the island."
The Beastman Lord quickly replied.
He had a Beastman elder by his side, while Lin Yi had Hubert and Solomon on his side.
He stroked his chin, pondering silently.
Currently, the two races had already destroyed the core of the Zombie General's army, but if there was a chance to defeat the General's main force, the rewards would surely be significant.
But the number of Zombies was truly overwhelming, and fighting them in open fields would be suicidal.
Considering the situation, the Zombie General would definitely use this time to expand its ranks.
Therefore, they must act quickly to eliminate it, lest it grows more problematic over time.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind.
[New Task!]
[Eliminate the Zombie/Infected Monarch]
[And cleanse the Wandering Island...]
At this time, Terghai's eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry: "What do you think our next step is—"
"Of course, we should decisively and thoroughly take down this guy, but we have to use some tactics, and our people need time to repair weapons and prepare the necessary materials."
"Hahaha! I knew you were no coward! You are a truly brave Warrior, Lin Yi! Under the nourishment of your lake, the new generation of Warriors will soon grow up to be stronger than ever, and together, we will attack the Monarch's territory!"
Terghai was extremely excited at this time.
Although both sides were allies, the overall direction of the battle was controlled by humans.
He was very worried beforehand that Lin Yi would act like a wealthy gambler, backing out after making gains.
After all, humans had a tendency for such behavior, often lacking decisiveness in decision-making.
But he did not expect Lin Yi to be even more aggressive than he was.
Having such an ally in the Taru Race is truly an honor!
Lin Yi and Terghai shook hands, and then their advisors took over the remaining negotiations and strategy meeting.
The meeting lasted for two entire hours!
It was finally decided that both sides would return to prepare well for the upcoming battle.
Meanwhile, human soldiers would allocate a certain amount of water and meat to feed the young Warriors of the Beastman Race, while setting up defensive structures at the passage entrance.
To achieve this, part of the fence was dug out and moved to the passage, reinforced and strengthened with concrete.
The Beastmen were also kept busy, helping to build a road from their land to the passage.
Inside the Shelter.
After harvesting 7.5 tons of wheat, Lin Yi took the opportunity to add seven more plots of farmland.
Now the Shelter has ten large wheat fields with a total area of 6,000 square meters, expecting to harvest 25 tons of grain next time.
After dealing with the farms.
Lin Yi returned to his laptop.
The previous few days, he and the scavenging team had almost cleaned out an entire town, so the Shelter should have gained a lot of Experience Points.
[About Items Obtained (Brief Version)]
The Shelter obtained some items from a military base, receiving 755 Experience Points.
[About Items Obtained (Revised Version)]
The Shelter obtained some items from a hospital, receiving 1,066 Experience Points.
[About Items Obtained (Brief Version)]
The Shelter obtained some items from the town, receiving 2,589 Experience Points.
The Shelter is now Level 12! Possessing (66%), that is, 13,578/20,480 Experience Points.
In the past three days of the campaign,
Lin Yi himself gained a lot of experience, raising him to level 9, with 46% still needed to reach level 10...
Inside the room.
"Boss... why are we here?"
Annie found herself and Lin Yi, a man and a woman alone, in an empty room, and was clearly quite uneasy.
This large room was about 150 square meters, with a big bed, a table, chairs, and a refrigerator inside.
"Boss... I... I don't want to..."
The girl's eyes filled with tears, but she saw the boss busily working on something at the table.
She hesitated for a moment, wiped away her tears, began to undress, and then slipped under the blanket.
"I'm ready..."
"...Okay... uh... why are you getting under the blanket?" Lin Yi turned around to look at Annie, stunned.
Then, he noticed her clothes on the chair, especially the one on top, a shiny pink pair of panties...
"Hey! Why did you take off your clothes?"
"But... didn't you bring me here for that?"
"You fool! I brought you here to open the rewards we got from the battle, because there are so many, I left you this room so you wouldn't get distracted!"
"Ah!!"
Annie's face turned crimson with embarrassment, and she shrank her little head under the blanket, exposing only her eyes, looking timidly.
"Seriously, what's going on in your head? If you need anything, just tell Sylvie."
After Lin Yi finished speaking, he left the room, leaving the dumbfounded girl alone.
At this point, Annie finally snapped back to reality.
She saw several boxes on the table, opened one, and saw it was filled with so many rewards...
Seeing this, she only felt a wave of nausea; when would she finish this work?
Boss! Come back!!
At lunchtime.
Melanie asked, "Where's Annie?"
"Suffering; she's having her lunch in the 'cell'." Lin Yi answered with a mischievous grin.
"..."
In the real world, Provan Town.
Lin Yi conjured up a brand new motorcycle.
It was black and red, with flame patterns painted on it, looking very eye-catching.
His first destination was Thierry Castle, the camp of the red-haired man from before.
But when he arrived, it was already in ruins.
"Melanie, report the situation; Nika, be on standby to cover me; everyone else, stay alert!"
Lin Yi's monitoring department, with the increasing number of people, he now had ten pairs of "eyes."
Melanie quickly responded, "Boss, there's nothing but zombies in this camp, three hundred of them!"
"Got it."
After sending the motorcycle back to the shelter, Lin Yi bypassed the zombies, went through the forest, and headed towards the main camp...
He found that the camp had been completely destroyed.
There were no zombies on the ground, but there were many human corpses, most of which appeared to have been shot, and some had even been tortured first...
"Boss, I see three people, one of them injured, they're approaching you, one of them is someone you've traded with before."
As Melanie said, minutes later, three people walked into the camp.
A black man, a sturdy young woman, and the short and stout red-haired man he'd seen before.
He was limping, his leg and shoulder wrapped in bandages, his face pale from blood loss.
"Trader... you're back... looks like you were delayed a bit..."
"From what I see, it seems delaying a bit was actually a good thing."
"Of course! Otherwise, those 'Angel Gang' would have taken all the food you gave us!"
"I agreed to sell it to you." Lin Yi shrugged, correcting him, then understood what had happened.
It turned out that on the same day the two made a deal, some 'angels' from the Angel Gang showed up.
They brought along a group of zombies...
Then, after all camp defenders fell, they took the zombies away. They took all the food and kidnapped everyone who was still alive.
"They thought our camp was well-stocked with food... someone told them you hadn't returned yet, but they didn't believe it, cruelly torturing those people..."
"Don't tell me these bloody details; I get what's happening."
Ruthless, Lin Yi, showcasing his merchant nature, impatiently waved his hand: "Then why aren't you dead?"
"Me? We were also late..." The red-haired man suddenly went weak in the knees, clearly heavily injured.
But he stubbornly continued: "The Angel Gang left guards here to prevent you from coming back, we dealt with them, but also got badly hurt."
"Did you get the Coins?"
"Hahaha... the first thing we did was hide the Coins! Tell me... how much do you need the Coins?"
The red-haired man had a gleam of hope in his eyes, clearly the response he was about to receive was crucial for him.
Lin Yi stroked his chin and asked with a smile, "Are you asking me to avenge you?"
"No, you're an honest merchant, I'll give you the Coins, and I won't ask you to send your people to die for a bunch of strangers; I just don't want those angels to get these Coins!"
The red-haired man, with determination in his eyes, handed over 530,220 Coins to Lin Yi,
Lin Yi looked at him, then looked at his companions.
These people, seeming to know their days were numbered, had already calmly accepted death...
