In the early morning, as soon as it was dark, Lin Yi got up and left the tent.
He was still walking in the direction of Old Department Store Building, preparing to meet Zhang Weidong first.
When the patrolling armed police soldiers they met along the way saw him, they immediately stopped, stood at attention and saluted, their eyes filled with the same respect as before.
However, Lin Yi was keenly aware that beneath that respect, there was still a hint of restraint, and even an almost undetectable awe.
He felt enlightened.
The news of the 2000-point Source Energy degree has probably already spread within the armed police.
These soldiers are the group of people in the settlement who have the most contact with Abyss Beast and Source Energy, and have the deepest understanding of them.
They know very well what it means that the Source Energy strength is as high as 2000 points.
The individual strength of the seemingly young officer in front of him has completely surpassed conventional wisdom, reaching a level that is comparable to or even surpasses those desperate Leader Rank Abyss Beast.
In other words, the people in front of you can easily kill through the entire settlement, massacre them, and then walk away.
Just like facing a tiger that is not locked in a cage, this is almost an instinctive fear brought about by two species at different levels.
Lin Yi is not surprised by this. In his previous life, when he stood on top of Blue Star, he was already accustomed to such gazes.
There is nothing ridiculous about this. It is not a shameful thing to be wary of the strong. Even he himself was very cautious when facing Star Vortex Rank and Star Domain Rank after entering the universe.
Therefore, Lin Yi nodded in return with a normal expression, said nothing, and continued to move forward.
When he came to Old Department Store Building Command Center, he could feel that Zhang Weidong's enthusiasm also had a more solemn attitude.
"Staff Officer Lin, what are your plans for today? Are you still going with the rescue team?" Zhang Weidong asked.
Lin Yi shook his head. "Captain Zhang, in these three days, I plan to sweep away the elite Abyss Beast and above from the surrounding Nest."
Zhang Weidong heard this, and his expression condensed slightly. "Sweep up. Staff Officer Lin, this."
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
Lin Yi spoke calmly.
"Dawn Operation is coming soon, and I don't want to waste these three days. I plan to use this time to try to sweep away Elite Rank and above Abyss Beast in several surrounding Micro Nest areas, especially."
He turned his gaze to the southeast, his eyes slightly cold, "Nest No. 4's three Leader Rank Abyss Beast, they must be dealt with first. Once I start to Source Energy neutralize Nest No. 3, the remaining amount of Source Energy I can use will be greatly reduced. If they are summoned by Nest or change for other reasons, it will be a big trouble. And "
He paused and lowered his voice. "As far as I know, the military's inventory of high-power ammunition is probably running out, right? Being able to eliminate some high-end threats in advance can always reduce some pressure and losses on the frontal battlefield."
Zhang Weidong couldn't help but remain silent.
Indeed, light weapons ammunition is slightly better. Heavy artillery shells, anti-tank rockets, and large-caliber machine gun bullets are effective weapons against elite Abyss Beast and above. The inventory is not particularly large to begin with. In addition, many arsenals are occupied by high-level Abyss Beast Nest, which consumes a lot of money and is difficult to replenish. The inventory is already running low.
He thought again of Lin Yi's Source Energy strength of up to 2000 points, and Zhang Weidong's heart completely returned to his stomach.
There are several Micro Nests around, the strongest ones are Nest No. 4 and the three Leader Ranks with 1500 points. In front of Lin Yi, they really don't seem to be too much of a threat?
Zhang Weidong perked up and said, "Staff Officer Lin If you take action yourself, you will naturally have everything you need. Is there anything we need to do?"
Lin Yi nodded, "There is indeed one thing. I think, Nest No. 4 Leader Rank Abyss Beast The survivors nearby may have reached their limit. Should I immediately organize an elite rescue team to go with me? Once I eliminate the three leaders, the rescue team will immediately follow up and search and rescue all possible survivors in that area as quickly as possible."
Zhang Weidong was slightly startled when he heard this. He originally thought that Lin Yi was just going to eliminate threats, but he didn't expect that he would be so thoughtful and seamlessly connect the elimination of threats with subsequent rescue.
"It's true that I didn't think enough about this. I'll do it right away! Make sure to organize the best rescue team as quickly as possible!" Zhang Weidong was a little ashamed. He was so busy these days that he didn't even think of this at the first time, and he even asked the young man to remind him.
He nodded in agreement without hesitation, then immediately turned around and issued a series of commands, and the entire Command Center started to operate efficiently in an instant.
Not long after, Ren Yinuo also came after hearing the news. She looked at Lin Yi with firm eyes. "Staff Officer Lin, please allow me to record this operation. The headquarters needs first-hand information from the front line, especially the battle footage between you and Leader Rank Abyss Beast, which is crucial for subsequent strategic assessment."
Lin Yi glanced at her and nodded. "Yes, but be sure to follow the instructions and stay in a safe area."
"Yes!" Ren Yinuo responded solemnly.
In just over half an hour, an elite rescue team consisting of three armored vehicles, ten military trucks and a large number of volunteers had already assembled within the defense line.
When the team members learned that this mission was to go to the terrifying Area 4, and that the legendary Major Lin Yi would personally lead the team to clear the obstacles, their faces were not only nervous, but also filled with excitement and anticipation. Li Gang even took the initiative to ask for help and asked to lead the team there.
Soon, the motorcade roared out of the settlement.
Lin Yi, together with other volunteers, sat on the bed of the truck, leaning against the front of the truck, closing his eyes and meditating.
The convoy moved along the dilapidated streets and encountered sporadic Abyss Beast at first, but Lin Yi did not need to take action at all. The heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles and the soldiers on the vehicles could easily deal with them.
As we go deeper and deeper into Area 4, the number and intensity of monsters increase significantly, and Elite Rank Abyss Beast even begins to appear.
However, whenever a slightly threatening target appears, even before it is completely rescued from the ruins, a condensed blue Source Energy beam will be like an invitation from the god of death, killing it instantly.
Lin Yi didn't even open his eyes, he just raised his finger and pointed casually.
This scene made all the rescue team members who saw it feel moved and amazed.
Li Gang even growled excitedly into the walkie-talkie, "Have you seen it all? Cheer up!"
It was a crushing journey, and the convoy continued to advance towards the target area at almost a constant speed.
Finally, the leading armored vehicle slowly stopped at an intersection.
Captain Wang picked up the telescope and looked forward, his face instantly became extremely solemn.
He pointed to a huge, half-collapsed building in front of him, "Major Lin, in front of you is the lair of those three beasts, Luming Stadium."
"Most of them usually stay inside or around. Several high-end residential areas nearby, Lijing Garden and Hanlin Mansion are all within their activity range. Last time we were tripped up in the square in front of the stadium."
There was a hint of fear and sadness in his voice that was barely noticeable.
Lin Yi stood up slowly and turned his gaze to the dead ruins of the gym ahead.
The powerful soul power had already spread like mercury, and he clearly "saw" the reaction of three huge and ferocious beings Source Energy entrenched in the shadow of the gymnasium.
"The convoy is waiting here to establish a temporary defense line." Lin Yi jumped off the truck, "Don't get close without my signal."
"Yes!"
Li Gang stood at attention and responded, then quickly issued instructions through the intercom.
All vehicles quickly stalled, and the soldiers relied on the vehicles to build simple defenses and stared nervously ahead.
Ren Yinuo also quickly found a location and set up a camera, with the lens firmly focused on Lin Yi's back and the stadium in the distance.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, stepped forward and walked slowly towards the open square in front of the stadium.
