Center of Combat Island.

[Alert! The island core has been purified!]

[You must guard the core until all hostile entities are eliminated!]

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..." A strange buzzing sound began to echo in the canyon, and a dazzling flash illuminated the entire island.

The zombies turned to ash like vampires exposed to sunlight, while the first-level mutants fell to the ground, dying in agony.

The other mutants went berserk, attacking the defenders with three times the previous fury.

A mutant zombie, four meters tall with bone protrusions all over its body, suddenly lunged at Solomon, who had just taken down a second-level mutant, punching his stone chest.

To the mutant's surprise, not only did it fail to penetrate Solomon's chest, but it also broke its own fingers...

Solomon merely stepped back a few paces, then charged at the mutant, using his stone fist to strike the giant's knee with all his might, shattering its kneecap.

The mutant staggered backward a few steps and fell to the ground.

Solomon unhesitatingly pounced on the enemy, smashing its skull.

At this moment, Terghai was knocked fifteen meters away.

The red-skinned giant was truly formidable...

The severely wounded Dragon Wolf leaped up, attacking a third-level mutant, sweeping its legs with its tail to trip it before pouncing on its chest.

Not giving the mutant a chance to breathe, it used its powerful jaws to bite into the monster's protrusion-covered head, turning it into mush.

A cocktail canister filled with Hellfire Compound smashed onto the red-skinned Zombie General, but...

It only scorched his skin, causing no real damage.

The laser gun's effect was negligible.

The giant glanced at the gunman and then charged after the Dragon Wolf Terghai, hoping to finish it off.

"Cover me!"

Lin Yi shouted and then retrieved a laser cannon from storage, loading it with a third-level energy core, hoping to speed up the charging process.

His fingers had not fully regrown, but the remaining stubs were still enough to hold the laser cannon steady.

As soon as he pulled the trigger, the Zombie General immediately turned to face him, roaring and charging, wanting to eliminate this new threat.

Solomon went forward to intercept.

The Zombie General kicked him aside with just one foot, sending him flying toward the canyon's rock wall.

An armored vehicle equipped with a Fire God Cannon also joined the battle at this time.

It had already exhausted its ammunition in the previous battles, and now, all it could do was sacrifice itself.

The armored vehicle rammed into the Zombie General.

But the Zombie General merely grabbed it with four arms and tossed it aside.

Arrows, bullets, and skills rained down on the Zombie General, but this only infuriated him.

However... the third-level energy core indeed allowed the laser cannon to charge faster.

Lin Yi aimed the cannon at the giant, a bright blue energy sphere flying straight toward it.

Unlike the last time using a second-level energy core, this time the energy sphere was much brighter.

The Zombie General realized he was in trouble, but the energy sphere was too fast for him, and he only had time to raise his four arms.

When the energy sphere hit the giant's arms, there was no explosion...

Instead, a dazzling flash of light illuminated the entire canyon, temporarily blinding everyone inside.

When Lin Yi's vision finally returned, he saw the Zombie General kneeling on one knee before him.

His chest was bleeding, and his arms were almost gone.

Lin Yi wanted to fire the laser cannon again, but the thing was overheated and couldn't be fired.

Alright!

As you wish!

He tossed the weapon aside and summoned his motorcycle "Dagger," hopping on.

At this time, the Zombie General's chest was in a horrible state, with ribs almost entirely scorched and internal organs exposed.

Just as the Zombie General began to rise, the level four motorcycle roared to life.

"Kid, check this out!"

Lin Yi activated the motorcycle's laser defense system.

Hundreds of laser beams struck the monster's unprotected chest and abdomen, slicing it in half.

[Warning! Weapon overheating: 30%]

[Warning! Weapon overheating: 55%]

[Warning! Weapon overheating: 75%]

[You have killed the Lord!]

[Gained 1000 Experience Points!]

Lin Yi fired continuously until he received the notification.

To his surprise, even though the Zombie General was sliced in half, he still refused to die!

"Heh, have a taste of the inn's blade!"

When Lin Yi severed the Zombie General's head, the creature finally died.

[Alert! All hostile entities have been eliminated!]

[The island has been purified!]

After this system notification appeared, the now completely white crystal in the volcano crater began to glow.

The black, almost toxic soil started to change, taking on a normal color.

The intact trees came to life, the grass turned green, and the once charcoal-gray Wandering Island quickly became covered with lush vegetation.

Even the burnt trees regrew from ashes, the air became fresher, and the defenders could finally breathe freely.

"...Those coins and rewards! We have to pick them all up! What a hassle!"

Lin Yi looked at the verdant grass, muttering softly.

But the Shelter seemed quite happy this time...

[Notice: All coins, all rewards, have been collected and transferred to the crystal!]

"We won..."

At this moment, a soldier said and collapsed on the ground.

"Now is not the time to relax! Go help the injured! Tear down the wall to let the vehicles through!"

Lin Yi took a deep breath, rallied, and began to command his exhausted, battle-tested troops.

Solomon was unconscious.

He had fractured ribs, spinal injuries, and worst of all, internal bleeding.

The doctor immediately gave him an injection from a Reward Egg, which contained a potion that could heal grave injuries, so the stone man's condition began to stabilize.

But he needed some time to fully recover.

A total of five potions were used to treat serious injuries, and eleven potions for minor injuries.

The doctor was already capable of treating minor injuries, so these serious injury potions were only used on the gravely injured.

Lin Yi ordered a shot for the beastman warrior pierced and pinned to the canyon sidewall, then found three other soldiers and used the remaining potions on them.

Two Recovery Devices were moved to the field hospital.

All doctors capable of performing surgery, as well as any with skills, were dispatched to the battlefield,

There were so many injured... several hundred. Unfortunately, some people sacrificed themselves this time.

Teruo and his shamans were a great help.

The elder shaman used his magic to simultaneously stop the bleeding wounds of hundreds of soldiers and made their wounds heal faster.

They all did their utmost to help the injured with their skills and knowledge.

All the wounded received emergency treatment, and then everyone who was fine ate dinner at the volcano's crater.

Now that the island had been purified, the crater was a very pleasant place, but the sky was gradually getting dark, and both temperature and light were decreasing.

...

Hubert, surveying the camp at the crater, said, "We had a tough time this time."

"Ha, we had it easy, compared to those monsters chasing us!"

Lin Yi said with a chuckle while devouring his dinner, "How is the situation in the north?"

"Pretty good. The Zombie General attempted to break through the defense line and charge towards the Ark, but failed..."

"Boss, they are bringing Louis back." Xiaochuan ran over to report.

Lin Yi stood up from the table.

"Let's go."

According to Xiaochuan, Louis was being brought back in a jeep, covered head to toe in steel and metal pipe fragments, as if he was wearing armor...

The old pervert was still unconscious.

"What happened?"

"I couldn't reach Louis, so I sent out a large group to find him, they said he..."

Hubert hesitated, trying to find the right words to describe what he heard in his subordinate's report... which sounded completely absurd.

"They said he was wrapped in these metals like Iron Man and was fighting two Third Level mutants and a group of small mutants.

By the time the soldiers reached him, he had already passed out. His tank was destroyed, as if trampled by a mammoth...

But fortunately, this old guy somehow managed to protect all the soldiers inside. No one had worse injuries apart from some minor fractures and bruises."

"Iron Man?"

"Yes!"

At this moment, Louis looked like some kind of half-mechanical person, wrapped in three meters of steel, with only a small head peeking out from the top.

After checking on Louis,

Lin Yi went to see Terghai.

The beastman lord suffered heavy injuries, with both arms and one leg broken, but was otherwise fine.

He was surrounded by several beastman warriors and even smiled when he saw Lin Yi approaching.

Lin Yi listened silently as he boasted to the beastman warriors about his heroic deeds on the battlefield.

Feeling a bit speechless, Lin Yi sat down.

"It was a glorious battle, I have never encountered such a powerful evil spirit." Terghai endured the pain and then grinned.

"Humans are truly remarkable creatures, you must be the most terrifying tacticians in the entire Sea of Space-Time!"

Lin Yi noticed he was missing about a dozen sharp teeth and smiled.

"If we weren't, we wouldn't have won."

"Indeed! *cough cough*... I never thought a Ghost Lord would have such a strong and numerous following... You came here just to see me?"

Lin Yi laughed heartily.

"We have to sort out the rewards,"

"Great!"

Soon after, another meeting began.

Beastman elders, Terghai, Lin Yi, Hubert, Solomon, and even Immanuel were in attendance.

Of course, Chen Youyou was also there. She was responsible for managing the Shelter's assets, as well as the Mind Technique, so Lin Yi thought she might be useful.

The group gathered around the crystal, surrounded by piles of Coins, Reward Eggs, and Reward Nuts.

What was particularly eye-catching were six boxes and a small jewelry box!

"This time we've obtained—

411,000 Coins,

1,726 white rewards,

1,785 green rewards,

1,131 blue rewards,

and... 127 purple rewards.

And a jewelry box, as a special reward for killing the Zombie General.

In addition, there are six boxes as rewards for purifying the island!"

After Chen Youyou finished speaking, she stepped aside...
