At the same time, far away in outer space.
In the quiet universe, "Emerald Whisper Starship" is like an elegant and lonely Watcher, quietly suspended in the outer orbit of the blue planet.
In the main control room of the bridge, Irelia is sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, doing daily exercises.
Suddenly, a delicate, ice-crystal bracelet-like device on her wrist lit up slightly, and Light-Winged Sprite flew out, dancing happily around her and making a crisp sound:
"Master, master, an abnormal high-energy reaction has been detected on the surface of Blue Star. The energy peak is determined to have reached the mid-term level of Stardust Rank."
"Although it is only the fourth level threshold, it is confirmed to be mid-term powerful."
Irelia's long eyelashes trembled, and the blue light around her body slowly converged.
She opened her eyes, and a trace of surprise flashed in her ice-blue eyes.
"Stardust Rank midterm?"
She immediately thought of the figure that attracted her special attention.
Lin Yi.
Apart from him, there is currently no other person among the Blue Star natives who has mastered the power of Source Energy.
"Call up the monitoring report and energy spectrum analysis." Irelia ordered softly.
"Good master!"
Light-Winged Sprite responded cheerfully, waved his little hand, and a light screen immediately unfolded in front of Irelia.
Irelia watched carefully. When she saw that the attack actually contained a trace of the power of extremely subtle rules, the surprise on her face gradually turned into real shock!
"It is indeed him."
"The power of rules. Although it is so weak that it is almost negligible, rules are an area that only Star Core Level is involved in.
"How is this possible?!"
Her beautiful face was filled with disbelief, "How long has he been practicing? He's not even Stardust Rank!"
"Hey <Annihilation Strike>. So it turns out that because the Source Energy itself is not enough, a simplified version was created directly?
"This"
Irelia quickly reviewed Lin Yi's recent growth records and saw the records of his clumsy attempt on the rooftop last night.
Although we knew that Lin Yi was simplifying with reference, Irelia was still deeply shocked by the initial successful simplification in such a short period of time, while also keeping the core essence unchanged.
What does it mean?
This shows that Lin Yi can actually be considered a success in cultivation <Annihilation Strike> from the very beginning.
Only by fully understanding and understanding can we simplify on this basis.
After only one try, he learned a unique skill that contains a hint of law.
Irelia couldn't help but fall into self-doubt at this moment.
How long did it take for you to get close to the rules?
Ten years!
A whole ten years!
When she reached the fifth level of Star Dust, she understood a trace of the rules and mastered Star Core Level's methods.
Although the simplified version of Lin Yi is far from as powerful as the Star Core Level method, its essence remains unchanged. As long as it is promoted to Star Dust, it will be mastered in the short term.
Irelia was silent for a moment, the light flowing in his ice blue eyes, as if he was making a certain decision.
Finally, she raised her head and ordered Light-Winged Sprite:
"From today onwards, we will stop using Star Frost Water for auxiliary practice, seal it completely and keep it properly."
"Also, Cyan Gold Crystal. Well, seal up one fifth. No, seal up half!"
Little Sprite tilted his head, a little confused.
"Master? Star Frost Water Although the effect has begun to fade, it is still of some use to you. Moreover, Cyan Gold Crystal, your own cultivation consumption is just enough, so reduce it."
"Just do it."
That Star Frost Water is indeed of little use to her, but to Star Core Level Realm, it is definitely a treasure.
As for Cyan Gold Crystal, she didn't originally focus on Metal Element Rule, and the slower she understood it, the slower she would be. Lin Yi seems to have a very high talent for Metal Element Rule, and she can make the best use of it.
Irelia turned his attention to the scene of Lin Yi throwing the spear frozen on the light screen again, and silently added in his heart:
I hope my advance preparation will not be in vain.
--
As the convoy roared back to the outer defense line of the Helu City settlement, the setting sun was smearing its last rays on the densely packed tents and simple fortifications.
The return journey was unexpectedly smooth, and no large-scale Abyss Beast was encountered again.
Passing through the defense line, the familiar hustle and bustle enveloped me again.
The convoy stopped at the designated area, and the staff and volunteers who had been waiting here immediately stepped forward to guide the survivors of Hongfu Restaurant to register, allocate temporary living areas, and distribute basic rations and drinking water for the night.
The process is somewhat slow and tedious, but orderly.
People who have experienced the cruelty of the apocalypse have shown great patience and cooperation with this process that represents "order" and "security".
The children held on to their parents' clothes tightly, curiously and timidly looking at this huge and crowded "new home".
The adults had tired faces, but they could not hide the slightest relief that they had finally reached the safe zone.
Lin Yi is not involved in these trivial matters.
After briefly exchanging a few words with Zhou Jianjun, Chen Yu and others, he walked towards Old Department Store Building together with Ren Yinuo and Li Gang.
Li Gang needs to report the specific circumstances of this rescue mission, especially the threat he encountered from the three Abyss Bear in the end and the blow from Lin Yi that turned the tide of the battle.
Ren Yinuo needs to formally report to Command Headquarters and apply for a special communication equipment placement room.
And immediately report the important information provided by Lin Yi about "Nest can be neutralized and destroyed by Source Energy".
Walking on the streets that were still busy but a little less solemn than those outside, Lin Yi thought about it for a moment, and then mentioned it seemingly casually:
"Captain Ren, through this encounter, I found that we still know too little about Nest."
"I suggest that Command Headquarters can strengthen the observation and comparison of different Nest? Find a few more samples, maybe we can find more commonalities or differences, and even predict their behavior patterns?"
Ren Yinuo heard this and nodded seriously. "Yes, Staff Officer Lin, your suggestion is very important. I will convey it to Command Headquarters in its entirety."
"The headquarters has indeed been collecting data on Nest from various places, but because there is too little data, no system comparison has been carried out yet."
Lin Yi nodded slightly and said no more.
Regarding the scope expansion of Nest, he has already sown the seeds. If the higher-ups are not aware of it in a few days, they will think of another way.
When he was approaching the door of Old Department Store Building, Lin Yi seemed to think of something, and asked Li Gang next to him with a little curiosity:
"Captain Li, I see that the current armed police force in the settlement seems to be under the direct command of Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Weidong. Why don't you see the official captain?"
Li Gang's footsteps paused for an almost imperceptible moment, and the lines on his face seemed to tighten a little instantly.
He was silent for a few seconds, looking at the fortifications being reinforced in the distance, and his voice deepened, "Captain He has been sacrificed."
Lin Yi was silent and just patted Li Gang lightly on the shoulder.
In the apocalypse, sacrifices are everywhere, and everyone who sticks to their posts deserves respect.
Walking into Old Department Store Building in a slightly heavy atmosphere, several people saw Zhang Weidong again.
Li Gang first reported on the completion of the task.
When he said that Lin Yi was alone and threw a gun, instantly annihilating Giant Rock Abyss Bear and more than thirty Abyss Wolf, even though he tried his best to maintain the objectivity of the report, his tone was still filled with excitement.
