Chapter 71 The Big Guy with 6800
The pre-battle meeting ended in a resolute yet slightly noisy atmosphere. Officers from different units patted each other on the shoulder or had a final small-group exchange before leaving the meeting room one after another.

They needed to quickly communicate the finalized "three-layer guillotine" plan, leaving the troops little time to prepare.

Lin Yi did not leave immediately. He waited until most of the crowd had dispersed before calling out to Zhang Weidong, who was about to head to the command room.

"Team Leader Zhang, please wait a moment."

Zhang Weidong stopped and turned around with a hint of doubt.

Lin Yi didn't say much, but simply reached down on his belt and took out the gray-gold patterned crystal containing the fixed energy detector, and handed it over.

Zhang Weidong subconsciously reached out and took it, then paused slightly, a look of realization flashing in his eyes.

Lin Yi also said, "This kind of large detection device is not very useful to me. I think the command center can play a more important role. With this, at least the movements of the abyss beasts in the surrounding nests will be transparent to us, and we can also check where the remaining survivors have not been rescued."

Zhang Weidong now knew what was inside. He said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will make it play its maximum role. The data monitoring and analysis room in the command center will monitor the signals it provides 24 hours a day."

After handing over the fixed detector, Lin Yi paused and then said, "In addition, I plan to take a look around the small nest number 1 in the west for the remaining day and a half. The elite units inside have reached the Stardust level in terms of energy level. Before the operation begins, I want to try to eliminate some of them."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Weidong's brows furrowed unconsciously.

He had witnessed the terror of Stardust-level Abyss Beasts; they were beings that ordinary firepower could not easily deal with. The rescue of survivors within the range of small nests was the responsibility of the main force, and their armed police force was not even qualified to participate.

Therefore, Zhang Weidong opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to dissuade him.

With a major battle imminent, Lin Yi, as the absolute core member, really shouldn't take this risk.

But when he saw Lin Yi's calm gaze, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

After spending these days together, Zhang Weidong knew very well that the young man in front of him was calm and composed, and was by no means a reckless person. He must have been confident in making this decision.

In the end, all the words were reduced to a single admonition: "I understand. But be careful in everything you do. Your safety is the first priority of the Dawn Project."

"Don't worry, I will."

Lin Yi smiled slightly, turned around, and left the conference room.

He didn't go back to his residence, but went straight back to the rooftop. About twenty minutes later, he opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and intense, indicating that he had reached his peak condition.

Next, Lin Yi took out the green spirit crystal from his belt and crushed it with his five fingers.

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, but the shattered crystal did not scatter and fall. Instead, it instantly transformed into a highly condensed, crackling ball of green lightning.

The electric light expanded, stretched, and outlined rapidly as if it had a life of its own, and in a dazzling flash, an outline quickly became clear.

In just two or three seconds, the lightning dissipated, and a small, futuristic spherical aircraft quietly hovered half a meter above the ground.

Its entire body is dark silver, with only a tiny gap in the center indicating the existence of its hatch. The sides of the sphere are slightly raised, like some kind of integrated propulsion component. The overall size is just enough to accommodate one person to sit compactly.

"Little Flying Ball"

Lin Yi reached out and touched the surface of the sphere. The tiny crack silently slid upwards, revealing the compact yet well-designed cockpit.

He crouched down and sat inside, and the hatch closed immediately.

"buzz"

A deep, powerful hum resounded, and several concealed nozzles around the sphere emitted a pale blue glow. The stabilizer subtly adjusted its angle. The next instant...

call out!
The little flying ball transformed into a streak of silver light, soaring into the sky and drawing an elegant yet swift arc in the air as it sped towards the direction of the No. 1 small abyss beast's nest in the west, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
-
Command center, data monitoring and analysis room.

Zhang Weidong was extremely efficient. After obtaining the crystal, he immediately brought it over and had two long tables cleared out.

Under the curious gaze of several key technical personnel, he crushed the crystal.

A similar electric effect to when Lin Yi summoned the small flying ball appeared again, but this time it was a ghostly blue arc of electricity.

Amidst the swirling electric light, a much more complex fixed base, composed of several nested semi-transparent ring structures, slowly materialized, with a clear holographic image projected above it.

"My God, this technology!" a young technician couldn't help but exclaim.

"Don't just watch the show."

Suppressing his shock, Zhang Weidong solemnly ordered, "Zhao Tan, come here. Your task is to keep a close watch on this screen 24 hours a day, especially on the nest areas and Major Lin Yi's identification signals. Report any abnormalities to me immediately."

"Yes!"

Zhao Tan, an analyst in his early twenties wearing glasses, immediately sat down in front of the main control screen. While watching the data from the detector, he also began to make preliminary records and analyses of the data from each nest.

Zhao Tan noticed that the green dot representing Lin Yi was moving straight toward the area representing small nest number 1, but he didn't think much of it, because he had also heard that this Major Lin often went out to sweep away abyssal beasts.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Zhao Tan finally finished recording the data of the abyss beast in the No. 1 miniature nest, and habitually glanced at the green dot representing Lin Yi.

In front of the green light, several red lights were clustered, one of which was particularly dazzling in brightness.

And soon, they overlapped.

Zhao Tan subconsciously zoomed in on the data reading for that area.

"Energy intensity 6800?!"

The number sent chills down his spine, and he practically jumped out of his chair, his voice trembling as he shouted to his colleague, "Quick, call Captain Zhang! Emergency! Major Lin has run into a big guy!"

His colleague next to him was startled and, not daring to be negligent, immediately grabbed the communicator.

A few minutes later, hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor. Zhang Weidong burst through the door, his face grave: "Xiao Zhao, what's going on? What happened to Lin Yi?"

However, Zhao Tan's expression was extremely strange at this moment, and his voice lowered a few decibels: "That... Captain Zhang, just now, Major Lin's signal overlapped with the signal of an Abyss Beast with a power level of 6800. It should be a Stardust-level behemoth."

"And then? How's the situation now?" Zhang Weidong asked urgently, while also leaning closer to the screen to look. "Where are you talking about?"

But Zhao Tan wasn't in a hurry at all. He pushed up his glasses and pointed to the screen hesitantly, "Just half a minute before you came in, the energy source reaction of 6800, along with the smaller ones next to it, all disappeared."

".?"

Zhang Weidong was slightly taken aback, and for a moment he didn't realize what "disappeared" meant.

Then, he blinked and looked carefully at the screen.

Sure enough, there was no red dot next to the green dot that should represent Lin Yi.
