"It looks a bit similar to the document encryption method used by my army. Give me some time and I'll see if I can understand it."
Bill took the documents and planned to try to study them by himself.
So Lin Yi walked up to the three soldiers, sat down in front of them and looked at them.
"I guess, whether you tell the information or not, you will die in the end, right?"
Lin Yi looked at the three people with a meaningful expression.
"It is impossible to publicly approve the annihilation of an entire city's population. This is an experiment that cannot be made public."
"People in the middle and upper levels may have some chance of surviving thanks to their connections, but for the participants at the bottom, especially those who messed up and failed, I really can't imagine the possibility of you being able to survive. What do you think?"
Lin Yi sat on the ground while saying this, and his expression was very gentle as he looked at the three people.
"No, there is a difference. If we don't reveal the information, we will be the only ones to die. If we reveal the information, our families will also die."
Facing this guy who easily subdued them by himself, the three soldiers were somewhat timid. But even so, the first soldier who expressed his opinion still seemed very stubborn and determined. It can be seen that these people are not afraid of death. It seems that there are some deeper reasons for them to come here to be cannon fodder.
However, for Lin Yi, what these guys did was also equivalent to telling him where their weaknesses lie.
"It does sound reasonable, but is there a possibility that if you don't tell me, your family members will also die, such as your little daughter who is still in high school?"
Lin Yi's words made the face of the man who spoke first turn pale.
"Use your brain. Do you think that the people who can appear here are just survivors?"
"You don't really think you have a choice, do you? You don't really think that being a tough guy will ensure a worry-free family, do you?"
Pretending to be a villain is not difficult for Lin Yi.
As for the personal information of these guys, although the signal blockade on the island is quite serious, with the help of some functions of his system assistant Iino Miko, Lin Yi is still able to break through the network protection of this world and obtain the personal information of these soldiers.
By the way, this function is a fool-proof version specially adjusted by Iino Miko. As long as Lin Yi speaks out his ideas, this function will automatically run to help him get the results. Although the computing efficiency and speed are not as good as Iino Miko herself, the advantage is that it can be enabled anytime and anywhere, and it will definitely work as long as there is a normal data network environment in the world. The only pity is that this function belongs to the AI Miko's main body, so it will be blocked in the official mission along with Iino's personality sleeping.
"You, you bastard..."
At this moment, the man who was trembling all over because of Lin Yi's words could no longer maintain his previous expression and attitude.
"You can call me whatever you want. I'm not one of you helpless people who can only be used as cannon fodder. I know everything about you, three poor guys, whether you owe a huge gambling debt, your wife is seriously ill and needs surgery, or you are worried about your college tuition. You all have important people, right? Where do you want me to bury them?"
As he spoke, the smile on Lin Yi's face became uglier, and the soldiers had already silently clenched their fists.
"Oh, Mr. Lin Yi, don't go to this extent."
Finally, Lily of the Valley, who couldn't bear it any longer, walked up and spoke in a low voice.
Because the savior system will make adjustments for saviors with special appearances so that people in the native universe cannot perceive their special features, Lily of the Valley with a pair of big fox ears and nine tails is just a cute fourteen-year-old girl in the eyes of these soldiers.
The kindhearted little fox obviously found it difficult to accept Lin Yi's method of threatening the other party's family. Although he knew that Lin Yi would never do that and was just trying to scare the other party, he still couldn't help but interrupt.
So she became the one playing the good cop, while Lin Yi, who had been playing the villain for a long time, stepped back, allowing the panicked soldiers who had just experienced intimidation to enjoy the comfort of lily of the valley.
Then the rescuers successfully obtained the information they wanted.
"He was quite persistent. He persisted for several hours before he finally spoke out."
After confirming that these guys were finally willing to answer, Lin Yi shook his head and said with a little dissatisfaction.
If torture is used, the effect may be faster. However, if that is done, Suzuran will definitely find it more difficult to accept it. Moreover, the willpower shown by these hard-trained soldiers in the face of physical pain may be stronger than mental coercion, and it would be bad if it has the opposite effect and stimulates fighting spirit. Well, it should be a two-pronged approach, torturing their bodies while suppressing their minds.
That's assuming that Lily of the Valley isn't here.
"As expected, this place was indeed blocked by the military. The highest order may have come directly from the country's top financial group."
After roughly confirming the information, Lin Yi frowned even more.
This island city belongs to a top country called Gemikan, which is one of the most powerful countries in the world. The top of this country is controlled by financial groups in various fields. The congressmen and the president are essentially just spokespersons for different financial groups. This operation was jointly organized by more than 70% of the financial groups in Gemikan. Its purpose is still unknown. These soldiers only know that their most important mission here is to observe the restaurant that Bill has determined to have problems.
"Based on what we know, these...things that died and came back to life will undergo probabilistic mutations."
A soldier who had given up resistance lowered his head and explained what he knew in a somewhat dejected manner.
"In the first stage of mutation, they will have a stronger metabolism, far exceeding the strength and speed of the human body. At this stage, they will become hungrier and crazier, and will even kill and devour each other if they cannot get fresh blood and flesh for a long time."
"What we need to do is to observe these first-stage mutants and find out the individuals that have entered the second-stage mutation. That restaurant is actually the nest where these mutants breed second-stage mutants. Most of the nutrients in all the flesh and blood they eat are absorbed by the unknown individuals in the nest. We don't know how far the second-stage individual has grown yet. Anyway, when the result is bred, our mission in this town will be over."
"As for the follow-up, since it is not our mission, we don't know, but I heard some people discussing that there is a second-stage individual in the main city and the hotel on the top of the mountain in the gestation process. I also heard them say that after the three second-stage individuals are bred, they will fight again, and the winning individual will mutate to the third stage and become the true king of these zombies."
"I think our top leaders' goal is to cultivate a third-stage mutant, although I really don't know what the point of cultivating this thing is."
Ordinary zombie monsters that can be easily destroyed.
A zombie monster that is a demolition expert in the first stage of mutation.
As well as currently unknown mutant second and third stage zombie monsters.
"It seems that we have to go to that restaurant next."
Lin Yi, who had sorted out clearer thoughts, stretched his shoulders and looked at the sewer entrance and exit manhole cover above his head.
Chapter A-08: Fox~
The sky gradually changed from its original white to a dark gray.
The rotten zombie monsters were wandering around. In the absence of prey to capture, these things seemed to become particularly lazy, and their whole bodies revealed a sense of idleness and dullness.
However, occasionally, these monsters would become active after not finding prey for several hours. These gradually becoming manic would begin to attack their companions. Often after a heart-wrenching roar and tearing, the dead zombie monsters would be eaten by their companions, leaving no flesh, internal organs, bones or even excrement. At most, only a pool of blood would be left.
This kind of mutual attack happens every few hours, with varying intervals. The death of one zombie monster can basically calm the restlessness of dozens or even hundreds of its kind. Therefore, if you want to rely on this method to reduce the number of these things, a few days will definitely not be enough. And considering that this thing seems to have been cultivating something by devouring flesh and blood, it is even more impossible to let them continue like this.
"Three Moons Restaurant? I always feel like the name of this restaurant has some malicious connotations. It's like a scary place suddenly appears in a cool parkour game, making the players jump out of their wits and playing a prank on them."
After returning to the ground from the sewer, Lin Yi stood in front of the fourth-floor window of a five-story detached building, observing the situation. When his eyes swept over the name of the restaurant, he subconsciously complained in a low voice.
But I have to say that this situation is really extraordinary. No wonder old Bill has not been able to break in before.
The place named Three Moons Restaurant, which was confirmed as an abnormal area by the rescuer Bill, is a large five-story luxury restaurant. Its interior is divided into many different structures and provides a very rich variety of dishes, but that was only before. This restaurant, located on the side of the town on the sub-island of Colón Island, is now surrounded by dense groups of zombies. The four or five streets around the restaurant, the parking lot, and even other surrounding buildings are crowded with bloodthirsty and crazy zombie monsters. The number is estimated to be several thousand. What is different from zombie monsters in other places is that these things will not react much to external movements. Even if you try to lure them, they often chase them for a distance and then return, as if they deliberately stay around the restaurant to protect it.
According to Old Bill, he killed more than a thousand zombie monsters here, but their number did not decrease at all. These things seemed to gather to protect this place, and would actively fill in if there were not enough zombie monsters. Therefore, unless these thousands of zombie monsters could be eliminated in one go, or all the monsters in the town could be killed completely, there was no way to truly eliminate the threat of these monsters.
Before Lin Yi and others arrived, Old Bill had tried the clumsy strategy of eliminating all the zombie monsters in the town. But unfortunately, this was too slow and there was no way to quickly solve the current problem.
As for now...
"It is indeed quite difficult to break through head-on, and I don't have any ability to cause large-scale destruction. Well, perhaps only the use of the Summoning Candle can really eliminate such a large group of monsters. But it doesn't seem right to take out that kind of thing so soon after the mission begins. This is indeed a bit difficult to deal with."
Frowning, Lin Yi thought about how to resolve the current situation, and found that no matter how he thought about it, it was a headache.
These zombie monsters don't have much brains and will just stubbornly guard this area. It may not be so easy to lure these guys with traps.
So, try to enter the restaurant through an underground sewer or something like that?
You can get in by doing that, but the problem is that once you alarm the zombies, you will basically be dead. These guys run like the Hulk and can smash anything and send it flying. Lin Yi doesn't think he has the ability to resist the violent charge of thousands of these things.
"Indeed, this level of defense is difficult to break through by normal means."
Linglan, who was standing next to him, whispered with some concern. Although the girl tried hard to help Lin Yi come up with a solution, unfortunately, she was not the type who was good at thinking of a way out of the situation.
"Maybe we can plant a bomb? If we can get enough materials from the community, we should be able to make a powerful enough bomb or something."
Bill was still thinking about the possibility of a frontal attack.
think.
Think again.
How can I go in and investigate the situation... go in... wait, there's no need to go in in the first place, right?
Lin Yi suddenly realized something and turned around to look at the lily of the valley beside him.
That's right, if they just needed to investigate the situation in the restaurant, they didn't need to go in in person.
In this voluntary task that can reasonably utilize the system assistant, there is no need to limit your thinking to the previous routines. In fact, you have not yet fully utilized the assistance that is available at the moment.
Lily of the Valley: 0v0?
A few minutes later, a little golden fox carrying a camera jumped out of the house and disappeared without a trace.
The personal system assistant of the savior Linglan, a little fox that can be held in the arms, seems to be a red fox, but the color is more golden. The sounds it makes are only understood by Linglan, and others can only hear normal animal sounds. It can release Linglan's fox fire, become an extension area of Linglan's Originium skills, and can also strengthen the spell effect. The previous attack of Linglan to blow up the car with one charged attack relied on the power amplification function of the system assistant.
In addition to these abilities, as a system assistant of Lily of the Valley, this little fox, like other system assistants, can transform itself into a dual state of entity and non-entity. In the non-entity state, it cannot be touched or sensed by anyone.
Therefore, as long as they equip it with a camera that can broadcast images and sounds in real time, and have a LAN and call function, they can directly understand the detailed situation in the restaurant without leaving their homes, and there is no need to take risks to deal with those horrific zombies.
By the way, because they are not very good at mechanical equipment, the entire installation and debugging of the camera equipment was completed by Lily and Bill.
"This will save a lot of trouble, huh."
Looking at the restaurant that was gradually becoming clearer in the picture, Lin Yi nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, it feels a little different than I expected. I hope Xiaolan is okay..."
Linglan shook her head slightly. Although she knew that her system assistant could not be attacked, she was still somewhat worried about the other party's situation.
The picture in the video kept shaking, and one could see one zombie monster after another with festering bodies wandering aimlessly, lingering, continuing to exist here in the form of a body without a soul.
These selfless things are somewhat disgusting when observed up close, but Bill is no longer surprised by this. In his own words when he introduced himself, the native world he lives in is a wasteland where a global zombie plague has broken out. There are many zombies that are more disgusting and terrifying than this thing. As for Lin Yi, he has always been indifferent. This kind of thing that challenges the bottom line of bloody curiosity cannot bring him any feelings. The only one who felt uncomfortable with such a scene, Linglan, was actually just sighing secretly, feeling sad that there was no way to cure these people.
"We're here. This restaurant looks like a real mess."
The video showed the interior of the restaurant. The first floor of the restaurant was almost completely covered in blood red, with bloodstains everywhere. The tables and chairs had been completely overturned and torn apart, and some walls and floors had collapsed.
Gradually, the deeper we go, more things come into view.
At the same time, at the entrance on the first floor of the building where the three were hiding, the door that had been closed was gently opened at some point.
squeak-
There was nothing outside the empty door.
Chapter A-09: Ghost~
“These things are really good with rice.”
Lin Yi frowned and looked at the images displayed on the camera, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
Blood red color.
The blood-red color that covers almost everything.
Those were wriggling blood vessels, spreading on the ground, walls and even the ceiling.
Covering everything are the weird and disgusting blood vessels that are constantly wriggling.
Starting from the second floor of the restaurant, there were more and more of them, and they became denser and denser as they went up, until they densely wrapped everything and completely turned the interior of the entire floor into a world of flesh and blood.
Plop—Plop—
You can even hear the sound of blood vessels moving through the camera.
These countless deformed and twisted, wriggling flesh and blood creatures make people feel deeply chilled.
"Oh my God, what the hell is this?"
Bill looked at the things in the picture with a frown, and subconsciously wanted to curse out loud, but after taking a look at the lily of the valley next to him, the old man thought about it and changed his words to express his surprise.
"These blood vessels... they all seem to be moving in the same direction? Where are they converging toward?"
However, Suzuran herself did not pay attention to the reactions of the people around her. Although the girl showed a slightly uncomfortable expression because of the disgusting scene on the screen, she was still thinking and analyzing very seriously, wanting to understand and confirm more of the situation.
"It certainly looks like that."
Lin Yi also watched the situation in the video carefully and noticed that the direction of the blood vessels were moving in the same way, as if the blood in them was converging in the same direction.
The flesh and blood eaten by the zombie monsters will be transformed into some kind of energy and disappear, and finally gather in this restaurant. I can indeed feel the vague direction between these energies. So, the result of the transformation, could it be the blood in those blood vessels? And the direction where these bloods gather, the place where these energies finally gather, is probably the second-stage mutant zombie monster that is in the cultivation state?
While he was thinking, the little fox carrying the camera equipment had already reached the fifth floor, which was the top floor of the restaurant.
All the blood vessels converged together on this floor, forming a huge tumor that almost completely filled the lobby on the fifth floor.
Unlike the four floors below, the ground on this floor was wet and covered with blood. One could even see some blood vessels torn open, revealing fangs and big mouths, as if they were swallowing the flowing blood.
Has a blood vessel ruptured?
Questions arose in the minds of the three people and were quickly answered.
Deep in this hall of flesh and blood, you can see several extremely huge white objects that look like cocoons.
These two to three meter-sized cocoons were connected to countless blood vessels. One of the cocoons had broken open, revealing an empty interior, while the others were violently torn apart, revealing an unformed human-like flesh and blood creature inside each of them. The flesh and blood humanoids inside each of the torn cocoons had been severely damaged, with their heads completely missing and their bodies covered in ruptured wounds.
The blood vessels were still supplying blood to the torn cocoons, but because the cocoons were damaged and the things cultivated inside were dead, the special blood could only flow on the ground and gather in the hall. Although the blood vessels themselves were consciously recycling the wasted blood, it was obviously useless because the monsters inside the cocoons showed no signs of recovery due to the subsequent blood injection, and it was obviously completely hopeless.
"The first individual that was cultivated killed all the other individuals that were not yet completed."
