There was an eerie silence in the data analysis room.
However, the Source Energy value of the green light spot Lin Yi is only 470 at this moment, and it is stopping at the same place and rising slowly.
471472
The muscles on Zhang Weidong's face twitched. He slowly straightened up and let out a breath of turbid air that was held in his chest. He then raised his hand to wipe his face and scolded Zhao Tan in a dumbfounded voice, "Fuck! You kid, you are so startled."
Only then did he understand that Lin Yi's words "clean it up" and "Stardust Rank" were an understatement.
It was not at all a thrilling and fierce battle as expected, but more like a precise and efficient demolition operation.
In the next few hours, the atmosphere in front of the screen in the data analysis room became a little subtle.
Zhang Weidong thought about it for a while, and it seemed that there was nothing particularly important in the afternoon. He simply didn't leave, and directly pulled up a chair and sat next to Zhao Tan. The two of them, as well as several technicians who quietly gathered around after hearing the news, just looked at the green light spot without saying a word, "walking" in the area of Nest No. 1 as gracefully and efficiently as the god of death.
Every time you stop at one place, one or several red highlights will be quietly extinguished.
From afternoon to nightfall, the green light spots were like the most precise sweepers, erasing the "stains" in that area on the map bit by bit.
Finally, when the green light spot began to return towards the settlement point at a constant speed, a reassuring blank was obviously erased from the edge of the area representing Small Nest No. 1.

When Lin Yi drove Little Flying Ball and landed silently on the rooftop of Command Center, the sky was already filled with stars.
The hatch slid upwards and he stepped out. As soon as he stood firm, he saw two figures who had been waiting here.
Zhang Weidong and Ren Yinuo.
Lin Yi It became clear instantly.
I didn't deliberately restrain the Source Energy fluctuations. It was probably because Fixed Detector saw that I was starting to return.
Before he had time to speak, Zhang Weidong's voice filled with ridicule and admiration came over, and people rushed to greet him:
"Staff Officer Lin, you went out for a walk, six! There are six Stardust Rank and Abyss Beast, so you are treated as Abyss Wolf? Your efficiency really puts us old guys to shame!"
Lin Yi smiled, then inserted the shrunken Little Flying Ball into the belt slot accurately, and then waved his hand:
"It's just a matter of effort to eliminate potential threats."
Zhang Weidong laughed, he patted Lin Yi's shoulder hard, and then his tone became more formal, "The action time has finally been determined. The day after tomorrow, at eight o'clock sharp, we will start 'Dawn' on time."
He pointed to Ren Yinuo beside him.
"Captain Ren will follow the main force throughout the entire operation. Her mission is to record the entire combat process, especially your neutralization process, as completely as possible."
Lin Yi looked at Ren Yinuo, who nodded solemnly to him, obviously knowing that he was going to fight with the army.
"Understood."
Lin Yi nodded.
On his way back, he had already seen the newly opened gathering area outside the settlement from a high altitude.
The lights were brightly lit there, and Night Owl Armed Helicopter were lined up quietly in the night like dormant bees. Main battle tanks and armored vehicles were already in place, and logistics personnel were doing final inspections and supplies. Further away, the figure of a self-propelled artillery with its thick barrel raised could be vaguely seen.
Under the leadership of officers, the infantry was conducting final adaptability drills in companies and platoons. The sound of passwords and footsteps could be heard faintly in the night sky.
A torrent of steel has already gathered, and a chilling air permeates the cool night wind. When the time comes, the sharpest sword will be swung into the darkness.
Lin Yi greeted the two of them and asked them not to accompany him, and then began to restore the consumed Source Energy.
More than an hour later, he got up and walked down the rooftop, returning to his tent.
It was already dark at this time, and most areas of the settlement had turned off the lights. Only the flashlight beams of the patrols occasionally passed by, as well as the bright lights of the assembly area in the distance and the faint roar of engines, indicating that the war was coming.
After opening the tent door, Lin Yi was slightly startled by the scene inside.
In addition to the expected Chen Yu, there was one more person in the tent, his uncle Zhou Jianjun.
Zhou Jianjun had obviously been waiting for a while and was sitting a little awkwardly on a small pony. When he saw Lin Yi coming back, he immediately stood up with an expression on his face that he was hesitant to speak.
"Xiao Yi, are you back?"
Zhou Jianjun rubbed his hands and spoke first.
"Uncle, why are you here? Are you still awake so late?"
Lin Yi was a little surprised and walked to the camp bed and sat down.
"Hey, where can I sleep?"
Zhou Jianjun sighed and lowered his voice, but he could not hide the excitement inside, "There are tanks, artillery, helicopters, and so many soldiers outside. I heard that there is going to be a huge operation, right?"
Lin Yi looked at the light mixed with expectation and desire in his uncle's eyes, and understood in his heart.
It is impossible for such a large-scale troop mobilization and assembly to be completely hidden from the survivors in the settlement, especially Veteran like Zhou Jianjun.
And probably because they were dealing with Abyss Beast, the official didn't seem to intend to keep it strictly confidential.
So Lin Yi nodded directly and admitted. "Yes, uncle, there is indeed an important military operation."
After receiving the confirmation, Zhou Jianjun breathed a little faster.
He took a step forward, his voice lowered, but with a hint of enthusiasm. "Xiaoyi, uncle understands the rules. You can't pry into confidential matters. I just want to ask. Can the militiamen in our team, old bones like me, also apply to participate? I have also asked the leaders above, and they only said that we should wait for notification and strictly stick to our posts."
He paused and looked at Lin Yi with burning eyes, "So I wanted to come to you first to ask if there is any room for change in this matter? Even if it is to help carry ammunition on the side!"
Lin Yi immediately understood his uncle's intention.
This was not just inquiring about information, but also a vague hope that he, a "special person", could help to speak out and gain a chance for Veteran like them to participate in this operation.
Lin Yi can understand the feelings of my uncle and his old brothers. They are the passion of soldiers and their eagerness to do their part to protect their homeland.
Although if he really goes to talk about Xiang, he might really be able to give his uncle and the others a chance to participate.
However, it was impossible for him to agree to such a thing.
Lin Yi knew very well that although his uncle and the others were very enthusiastic and had done a lot of restorative training during this period, they might be able to deal with the sporadic Abyss Beast, but their tactical literacy, physical fitness, and coordination were qualitatively different from the main forces outside that fought from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Forcing them into the frontal battlefield, even if it is only a second-line position, is not only irresponsible for their lives, but also may interfere with the combat rhythm of the main force due to unfamiliar cooperation or improper handling of emergencies, and even cause unnecessary losses.
But you can't say that directly.
