Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields

Lille Camp City.

Lin Yi's expression was calm.

The woman saw that he was unmoved and spoke gently.

"Lin Yi... you're so strong, your hands must be very powerful, right? Can you give me a massage?"

She even shyly moved a bit closer to him.

Lin Yi looked at the beautiful woman sitting beside him, still chewing on a skewer of roasted meat.

"Keep dreaming, sweetheart. That trick won't work on me."

"Alright... it doesn't hurt to try. If I don't, my boss will definitely scold me to death."

The woman sighed with relief and quickly buttoned her shirt back up. "It smells really good..."

"Here, shut up and eat!" Lin Yi said, handing her a plate of freshly appeared roasted meat skewers and a cup of watered-down wine.

"Thank you..." The older beauty took just one bite, and her eyes lit up. "Delicious! It's so tasty!"

After clumsily trying to be friendly and being rejected, she relaxed instead of staying silent and started talking non-stop.

However, when she started talking about the mutated marine creatures, such as their fishermen recently catching a sturgeon as big as a great white shark,

and aquatic predators coming out of the water to attack humans, Lin Yi became interested in what she had to say.

After everyone finished looking at the wall, they got ready to have lunch.

The variety of dishes was much richer than before, including seafood provided by the Americans.

Lin Yi asked with interest, "So what are your plans for dealing with the red zombies?"

"Since we know their weaknesses, we can keep them out. But if you could join us, we'd welcome it... or help us deal with other red zombie groups, that would be fine too."

The American woman said, and the King of Lille and the middle-aged officer nodded in agreement.

Lin Yi was very interested in the rewards for dealing with red zombies and immediately agreed.

"Of course, send me the coordinates once you've confirmed them, and I will arrange the action."

"By the way, Lin Yi..."

Amon, the representative of the local African community, who was usually silent, now asked seriously.

"You mentioned aliens before, and said the world is facing a threat. What did you mean by that?"

"Let's put it this way, if the population of a planet drops to a certain level, the planet will be completely torn apart and sucked into a place called the Sea of Space-Time."

"So... the fewer people there are, the closer we are to planetary destruction? But... if Earth is torn apart, what will happen to us? Will we all die?"

"Well... how should I say this? Imagine everyone standing on a huge ice floe.

The ice floe breaks into many pieces, with each piece drifting in different directions.

These small ice floes drift around, and if a ship happens to pass by, it could crash into them and break them apart."

"And you have a ship?!"

The older beauty asked in surprise; she was sharp-witted and got to the point.

Everyone's expression became very serious, clearly realizing the importance of the issue, and they all stared at Lin Yi.

"That's right." Lin Yi waved his hand, and a group of aliens appeared in the room.

There were Taru elves, Dragon Race Mira, Catwoman, a few scantily clad alien beauties, and even an alien that looked like a frog, as icing on the cake.

After everyone had looked enough at the aliens, he sent them back to the Shelter.

"I found them in the Sea of Space-Time."

"I understand... I see..." the King said thoughtfully, drawing out his words.

The older beauty, asked a question everyone wanted to know: "Do the aliens have their own spaceship?"

"Yes, I have reliable information that they are already on Earth, trying to push Earth towards destruction! If they succeed, they'll receive rewards... and they will be rewarded for killing Earthlings too."

"Can you get more ships like that?" the American officer asked with shining eyes, expectantly.

Lin Yi waved his hand, and a few phones appeared on the table, showing battle footage on Wandering Island.

"I don't know, once I upgrade my spaceship, maybe I could get more, or I could just go and grab someone else's... but it's extremely dangerous.

It's easy to encounter millions of zombies and monsters that eat spaceships, not to mention those hostile aliens."

Lin Yi spoke while adding fuel to the fire, observing people's reactions to the video.

Many looked pale watching the battle on the screen, and even those who looked better had their brows tightly locked.

"Facing such a large-scale war, how did you and your men survive?"

"I allied with the beastmen to face the enemy together. To survive in the Sea of Space-Time, you have to be very strong to have a voice."

The older beauty, after a long silence, asked, "Can your spaceship go to other worlds?"

"Of course, but only if that world is experiencing the same disaster as us. So, if you're thinking of hiding in another world, think again. All planets are going through the apocalypse."

"Lin Yi, could you sell us your spaceship... or help us build one?" the American man in uniform asked.

"I can't build one, at least I don't know how yet, and it's not as easy as you think to seize one.

Besides, even if I did seize one, why should I sell it to you? So you can all go and die?

I don't even know how you would travel between the spaceship and Earth without me."

Lin Yi answered frankly.

He had already faced countless challenges, one wrong step and it's all over!

Moreover, he didn't know what features other ships might have, and he wasn't too keen on others having the ability to cultivate fields and grow crops.

If everyone could produce their own food, how could he conduct business? How could he develop?

The Americans pondered, "We understand, we will definitely discuss what you've told us seriously."

"Lin Yi! But without the Sea of Space-Time, you couldn't have become as strong as you are now!"

The King interrupted the American's words.

At this, Lin Yi grinned.

"Risk and reward are often proportional, but... if you want to become stronger, you just need to hunt zombies, and that can be done on Earth as well."

"You're right, but... what about those alien beauties you showed us? Where did you find them? They're so enchanting!"

...

Lunchtime quickly ended.

Everyone discussed the threat of the red zombies and formulated a plan for cooperation, along with arrangements for transporting resources to various islands.

This time, the Americans agreed to trade using heavy military vehicles. They would deliver the vehicles directly to Lin Yi's headquarters in Lille.

During the meal.

The French also delivered machine guns, rifles, and mortars, along with 69 Thrower Skill Books.

And other useful equipment like bulletproof vests and ammunition samples.

After Lin Yi collected his spoils, he left Lille, heading east to a city there.

This city has strong defenses against zombies, but the shelter needs more furniture and appliances.

He summoned a cleaning squad and a squad of frenzied plunderers, then returned to the shelter.

It was time to leave the safe area around Tilian and start expanding.

"Boss, where to now?"

"Find a space-time stream and follow it."

"Understood."

The shelter gently shook, and stars filled the darkness of the Sea of Space-Time once more.

Lin Yi activated Siri's Space-Time Perception skill, and the area around him turned white.

He looked at the countless fragments around and asked, "Siri, can you mark the fragments with useful resources?"

"I can't, I need more information."

"What about metal resources?"

"That I can do... marked, the brighter the light, the more metal resources inside."

"Alright, now it's time to hunt!"

Lin Yi teleported to the harpoon device to start searching for the fragments emitting bright red light.

He selected the largest, slightly red-tinged fragment that happened to fly by.

The fragment was quite far, on the edge of the harpoon's range, and the shelter was moving fast, so it took him ten tries to catch it.

It turned out to be a massive fragment, even larger than the Hilania people's ruins.

Lin Yi chose the southern part of the shelter as the docking point, where he had already built some defenses.

He wasn't particularly worried.

If the enemies there were too strong, they could always retreat behind the walls, and on this fragment, the likelihood of encountering commander or overlord level monsters was very low.

Hubert was already waiting at the docking point.

Their plan was not to quickly clear the enemies on this fragment, but to let the orcs equipped with assault rifles and machine guns slowly eliminate every enemy here so they could level up to 10.

Mages and archers were also placed here as a precaution, though they were instructed not to initiate attacks.

Three minutes passed, and the shelter shook slightly.

The fog wall dissipated, and a reconnaissance drone was immediately sent into the passage.

Almost the entire fragment was covered with forest, but in one corner, there were some stone buildings.

The zombie horde was pouring out from there.

These zombies ran quite fast, at least twice the speed of ordinary zombies on Earth.

The first gunshot rang out, announcing that these undead creatures had reached the edge of the wall.

The first few minutes of the battle were fairly calm.

The few zombies wandering in the forest were the first to reach the wall, but once the horde from the ruins appeared, things got interesting.

These zombies were very weak, humanoid in appearance but clearly not the same as humans.

They had short legs and tails like monkey tails, but sturdier, their body hair spiky like porcupine quills, with a round head and a big eye in the center.

Needless to say, that big eye was their fatal weakness, even for mutated zombies.

To the soldiers' surprise, these strange little creatures could effortlessly climb up the walls using their tails.

They wrapped their tails around the railings like pythons, and even though many of their tails were partially or fully broken, they could still climb up,

but even with this advantage, not a single one made it over the first wall.

The drone showed that there weren't many enemies on this fragment, only about ten thousand or so, so the battle quickly came to an end.

This was as everyone expected.

While the battle was still ongoing,

Lin Yi found a new target.

This fragment also emitted a red light, redder, smaller, and more concentrated than the first.

He decided to dock it at the northeast corner, near the Hilania people's fragment...
