Offer a savior to the infinite world!

"Is there anything you want to know, kid?"

As if he already knew the reason for the girl's arrival, the old man, who was sitting not too far away from where the few people had gathered before, looked over with a cloudy gaze.

"If we want to go up the mountain, there's a mine we might be able to use."

After the subsequent communication ended and everyone returned to where they had been just now, the girl gave this message.

A long time ago, probably about two or three hundred years ago, Columbus Island was developed as a mining area.

Inside the highest mountain on the island, people discovered gold and various beautiful gemstones. A gold rush ensued, and dense mines were dug into the mountain, extending from the foot of the mountain to the top.

Finally, after the entire mountain was emptied of its mineral deposits and there was nothing left to be mined, these mines were basically filled up and nothing was left. However, this filling only filled up the external entrances, and there was no way to fill up all the caves that penetrated each other inside the mountain. In addition, most of these mine entrances were secretly excavated by private individuals, and it has never been easy to find them all. Therefore, for many years, there have been tourists who have entered the mountain from some mines that have not been completely sealed, and then got lost inside and could not get out until they died.

This incident is strictly considered as the dark history of Cologne Island, so it will not appear in the tourist guide. On the Internet, the authorities are also trying to suppress the relevant records to prevent more people from committing suicide. Lin Yi did not check the direction of legends and unofficial history at first, so he did not get any relevant information. At this moment, the news was confirmed, and after some inquiries to confirm the authenticity, the next action naturally began to revolve around this aspect.

"In other words, as long as we can find a sufficiently secret entrance to the mine, then we can find a way to reach the hotel area on the top of the mountain through the maze-like mine area that has not been maintained for two hundred years?"

Deacon stroked his beard, and at this moment he had a rough idea of ​​what to do next.

"Finding an entrance is not an easy task, and the risk of being discovered is also high. If we are sure there is a way, we can take a more direct approach, which is to lure our enemies to help create an entrance. Well, this risk may be a bit high, but I think it is still within an acceptable range."

As he spoke, Lin Yi used the red gel pen in his hand to draw a circle at the foot of the mountain on the map.

“The risk doesn’t seem too great.”

Deacon raised an eyebrow.

"So we, as the saviors, have to do it. If we were ordinary people, we wouldn't have a chance to start over."

Lin Yi nodded slightly in response.

"Then do it."

Old Bill followed with a heroic smile.

"Okay, let's get started."

Ethan continued speaking seriously, and the atmosphere at the scene became heated for a moment.

"Yes, then the general plan has been established, and all that's left is to take action. But before that--"

Looking up, Lin Yi looked at everyone around him in a low voice.

"Until then, sleep."

"Hey, what's with your expressions? It's already past two in the morning. Do you really have the energy to continue fighting if you don't sleep?"

Chapter A-22: Vampire~

Time still continues to move forward second by second.

Lin Yi and his group were resting at this time. They were sleeping on the hotel beds on the floor in the hotel corridor, silently waiting for the arrival of the next day.

And where they could not see, the top group of one of the countries in this civilization, the group that actually controlled the place called Cologne Island, had fallen into chaos.

"Both second-stage mutants were killed by someone who appeared out of nowhere. What on earth is going on? Who is the person in charge of blocking the sea area? Does he still want to do it?"

A pot-bellied man slammed the table, unable to control his anger.

"The key problem is not here. The death of the first mutant was normal and could continue to promote the final transformation. However, after the death of the second mutant, an abnormal situation obviously occurred. Now the last remaining individual No. 1 did not transform into the third stage, but continued to maintain the second stage. This is not normal. There must be a problem in a certain link, otherwise there is no reason for this to happen."

Another elegant and gentlemanly man spoke softly, his tone sounding very serious.

"No matter what the problem is, this operation is close to failure. You have gone to great lengths to create such a big mess, but if you fail, I don't need to tell you what it means, right? The consortium that suffered heavy losses due to the fall and destruction of Cologne Island will not let you lunatics go."

A noble lady holding a puppy sneered and said this, reaching out to gently stroke the puppy in her arms.

"You stupid woman, what else can you say besides these sarcastic remarks? It's nonsense. Why didn't you object when the action was approved? Now that you see something is wrong, you start to act, right?"

A somewhat irritable man wearing a dunce cap immediately retorted.

"Haha, you're getting anxious now. You men are all the same. You're a bunch of brainless bastards, worse than my dog."

Then, the noble lady continued to insult without any hesitation. Amid the insults, the atmosphere in the conference hall gradually became a little chaotic. More and more people began to accuse and curse each other, completely losing the trace of elegance.

"That's enough, stop arguing."

Finally, a man sitting in the middle of the venue spoke coldly.

"That's enough useless talk. We must take action now."

"The ritual has come to this point. We cannot fail. We have to bring back the last remaining mutant."

"As long as the results of this ritual can be preserved, there will always be a way to make it complete its transformation. The worst that can happen is that a few more people will die."

As he spoke coldly, the man raised his head and looked around. A hint of blood flashed in his pupils. He actually looked somewhat similar to the mutant zombies that Lin Yi and the others had fought against before.

In fact, it wasn't just this man. Everyone gathered in this room had a bloody tint in their pupils, with bloodthirsty desires wriggling in their eyes, eager to break free.

"call……"

The man, who was obviously enduring something, swallowed hard.

And those people who were just arguing also made low noises, and the expressions on everyone's faces were not very good.

It was as if something was slowly moving beneath their skin.

"We don't have much time left. We who have survived that ceremony and come this far have already begun to undergo irreversible changes."

With the cold voice, the man slowly stood up and cast his eyes towards the wall of the room, which was displaying a satellite map of the situation on Columbus Island in real time.

"I believe you don't want to die like this, right?"

"The power of eternal life is now in front of you and me. No matter what, we must not fail."

"Let's get started. If the ritual really can't go on smoothly, we can only give it a try even if it's an incomplete flesh and blood product."

After the words, people began to disperse, and the army began to be mobilized and prepared for action.

What these people did not see, and what all the surveillance equipment could not detect, was Iino Miko standing outside the door, watching everything quietly.

Naturally, it was the AI ​​Iino who belonged only to Lin Yi. Although he was not notified by Lin Yi to come for this mission, after discovering that Lin Yi participated in the volunteer mission, he finally decided to follow after thinking about it and help Lin Yi complete this task.

After all, the other party had just completed a rescue mission and was seriously injured during the mission. Even if he had recovered, he should have rested well under normal circumstances. As a result, he once again stepped into a dangerous situation because of the request of other rescuers. This kind of lifestyle is really too unkind to oneself. There is no need to work so hard. No, I am still worried.

In short, this was probably the motivation, so the girl finally sneaked over. However, because she didn't want to meet other rescuers, and because she was a system assistant specialized in electronics, Iino easily escaped from the environment of Columbus Island and directly invaded the system of the country's top leaders, arriving in front of the initiators of this inhumane action.

"The average bone age test is over 300 years old, and the longest one is over 600 years old?"

A glimmer of light passed through the girl's eyes. She had already completed the particle scan and looked at the backs of these people leaving. The expression on her face was quite ugly.

These people have no essential difference in body structure from the first-stage mutants on Cologne Island.

I don’t know how, but these people seem to have found a way to use those bloody rituals to give themselves physiques and lifespans far beyond those of ordinary humans.

However, this method obviously has great side effects.

The girl could feel that most of these people were already at their limits and were about to lose control and turn into bloodthirsty monsters.

That's why they used that island city as a ritual site in an attempt to cultivate third-stage mutants.

Did they intend to use the mutant's flesh and blood to perform some kind of ritual that would ensure their own sanity and extend their lifespan?

Just for this reason, hundreds of thousands of people died miserably?

"Unforgivable..."

Taking a deep breath, the AI ​​girl's body began to tremble slightly.

Chapter A-23: Miko~

At night, the world is shrouded in darkness and has not yet welcomed the arrival of dawn.

At this time, Lin Yi and others had already stood up and began to prepare for the next action.

The time was 5 a.m. The reason for choosing this time was that if they really waited until daybreak to act, it would be easier to be discovered during various actions. According to Lin Yi's guess, they were now more likely to be treated as operatives of hostile national forces. Therefore, as long as they controlled the boundaries of the action, there would basically be no problems, and there would be no suspicious places that might cause problems.

Moreover, the longer the delay, the more fully prepared the enemy would be, so everyone only rested for a few hours to make sure they were not too tired before preparing to take action.

However, the next action was indeed a bit troublesome. Well, he had to act as the bait himself. Other rescuers did not have his ability to accelerate their thinking. It would be bad if they were accidentally blown up when acting as bait.

"How are the preparations going?"

Thinking of this, Lin Yi looked at his companions and asked.

"Operator Suzuran is ready to act at any time."

The little girl raised her hand and spoke seriously and energetically.

"I'm OK."

Bill nodded slightly, looking very calm.

"Wait a minute, while I get these things ready."

Deacon, who had been busy, stretched out his hand and said as he tied an alarm clock and a stick of dynamite together. Then he took some things that Lin Yi couldn't tell what they were and fiddled with them for a long time. He didn't know what he was doing.

"Oh, homemade explosives. You can make this stuff."

Bill squatted down and looked at the busy motorcyclist with some surprise and said.

"It's really useful for dealing with those brainless things. Sometimes it can also be used to escape when you encounter a runaway tide. Well, that's about it."

Nodding slightly, Deacon picked up the prepared explosives and put them in his backpack. He smiled and spoke, then stood up and looked at Lin Yi.

"So, are you ready to go?"

Ethan, who had been standing against the wall, asked at this time.

"Well, let's go."

Lin Yi nodded slightly. The five rescuers took a step forward at this time. After reminding the other party not to go downstairs easily because of some noise outside, they said goodbye to the survivors and left the hotel where they were resting.

The city was still silent at night. In this dead land without any life, the group abandoned their motorcycles for the sake of covert operations. They moved forward as carefully as possible through sewers, alleys and various building ruins, and continued to move towards the direction of the main peak of Cologne Island.

During this process, Lin Yi saw quite a few normal zombie monsters. They were not the first-stage mutants they had encountered before, but completely normal zombies with physical fitness not much different from humans. Even ordinary people could easily deal with them with weapons.

It has to be said that after facing mutants before, fighting these ordinary guys again still made Lin Yi feel a little weird. How should I put it? It's probably like running back to the novice village after killing all the high-level areas. It's a weird feeling that no matter how you fight, it's boring.

"Phew, these things still feel right."

Waving the bloody spiked baseball bat, Deacon looked at a zombie whose head he had smashed and said with relief.

"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious. Why isn't your personal system assistant here? Having a system assistant should save a lot of trouble, right?"

Lin Yi, who was changing the magazine of his pistol, looked at Deacon and others with some curiosity.

"Well, my system assistant is probably something like a mobile bunker. The world I live in is not very stable, and I need it to protect the people I care about, so I won't bring it here unless it's an emergency."

Shrugging, Deacon took out a submachine gun and walked forward.

"It's similar to my situation. My system assistant is a fully armed modified RV that doesn't consume gasoline. My partners need it to get a safe place to rest and fight against the zombies, so I won't call my system assistant unless it's necessary."

Bill lit a cigarette and spoke while smoking, carefully moving away so that Lily of the Valley wouldn't smell the scent.

"Well, I, ahem, am pretty much the same."

Finally, Ethan, who looked a little embarrassed for some reason, also spoke seriously.

In fact, my system assistant is not a combat type, but a small home care robot that can do everything from cooking to washing dishes and sweeping the floor. It can help take care of his wife when he is away, and it also has a very complete baby care tutorial function. Although this robot does have a red combat mode that looks more powerful, Ethan has never used it since he got the system assistant.

So at this moment, looking at Lily of the Valley's system assistant that can assist her in performing various powerful moves, and then listening to what Deacon and Bill said about the fully armed intelligent mobile bunker, and the modified RV equipped with machine guns and rocket launchers that can knock down giant zombies, I suddenly feel that my own all-round little robot for housework is a little bit inferior.

All in all, let's just muddle through here.

Ethan's pride as a man prevented him from telling the truth.

"But speaking of which, Mr. Lin Yi, why didn't you bring your system assistant with you?"

After coughing lightly, Ethan found something strange and looked at Lin Yi.

"As for me, well, my system assistant usually helps me with a lot of things and is always busy, so I didn't bother him. My system assistant also left a simple system for me to use, so that I can crack some electronic systems and things like that."

Lin Yi was quite familiar with covering up for Iino, so he explained to his teammates with a calm expression.

Why his assistant was so disgusted with being in the spotlight, Lin Yi said it was impossible for him not to be curious about the reason. However, since the other party was unwilling to say it, he chose to respect the other party's wishes and help her avoid being exposed. This was Lin Yi's attitude.

"It sounds like your system assistant seems a little special?"

However, although Lin Yi had tried his best to cover it up, some information in his words still caught Bill's attention, causing him to ask another question.

"Yes, he has a bad temper and a strong sense of justice that makes me wonder who the savior is. He is also very good at preaching. If I do something wrong, he will nag me for a long time. Sometimes he feels like an old mother."

Lin Yi sighed and complained from the bottom of his heart.
