Chapter 2807: Chapter 2808: Blood and Fire
Early next morning, Lin Yi and the others got up early and gathered in his room.
But the food was all instant snacks.
"Lin Bro, this is the map left by Big Brother Cheng and the others; we just need to continue drawing it," Xiao Bing said.
Lin Yi nodded and took the map in his hands.
According to the description in the Tilia Island Convention, the rule for the distribution of resources on the island is determined by the contribution to the international community.
When we first set foot on the island, it was mysterious to everyone.
Moreover, the island is covered by fog year-round, with interference from a strong magnetic field. Some satellite images can be distorted, making it hard to see clearly what’s there.
Finally, under the regulations of the international convention, all countries must draw high-precision maps during their operations and then piece them together.
After years of exploration, the map of Tilia Island has long been completed, and newcomers here no longer have to bear such work.
But now, the international community is launching a plan to flatten Kandaya Forest, making these precious trees and whatever might be buried underground a considerable fortune.
For this reason, the larger the territory, the more advantageous it is.
And the allocation of territory is based on the maps drawn years ago.
In other words, the more work done back then, the more benefits obtained today.
This idea has been agreed upon by the majority, though there are many issues here, not as much opposition as with other proposals.
And the so-called controversy is nearly all focused on one point.
Disputed zones!
Back then, no one wanted to do this work. It was done superficially, pursuing the ’close enough principle’ to finish the task.
But it’s this attitude that led to some unclear areas, unable to specify ownership.
When there was no such issue before, no one cared, as it didn’t affect anything. Now, dividing assets according to this principle, everyone’s serious; not even a centimeter can be given away.
"Just after hitting Special Service Team Three, we run into them again; enemies are bound to meet," Lin Yi said, yawning.
"We gave them a good beating on the ship; meeting us again, they shouldn’t dare to cause trouble," Luo Qi said.
"People like them tend to forget the pain when they eat; now, with this interest-related matter, they will certainly come back for more," Lin Yi said while looking at the map:
"But the problems are not big; we’ll deal with them as they come. Let’s check the situation first."
About half an hour later, the group was ready. Once outside, Lin Yi found Jiang Zhengnan and Luyu Teahouse.
"Brother Nan, Sister Yu, you keep an eye on Storm and Gongyuan Association during your operations, and strike them when you get a chance."
"You still have plans for them?"
"I wiped out the Storm Team and killed six Masters of Gongyuan Association; we’re already enemies. They might come looking for trouble, so we have to keep an eye on them."
"I understand what you mean," Jiang Zhengnan said:
"You take care of things here; leave Storm and Gongyuan Association to me."
"Okay."
After discussing the follow-up, the two groups went their separate ways.
The camp was not far from the disputed area, about twenty minutes’ walk away.
Xiao Bing held the map in his hand and said:
"Lin Bro, to our right is the disputed zone, stretching about thirty kilometers."
"Dispute or no dispute, I’m here, and this is mine," Lin Yi said:
"Let’s go to the border and guard; I’ll see if Special Service Team Three dares to say anything."
As the spiritual totem of the group, Lin Yi’s words had a huge impact on them.
Once he gave the order, they’d even poke a hole in the sky for him.
Due to poor road conditions and the constant threat of wild animals, the thirty-kilometer walk took a full five hours.
"Sui Qiang and Xiao Bing form a team; you two go draw the map, and the others continue patrolling here," Lin Yi said:
"Make sure everyone is within sight; safety first."
"Yes!"
Following the orders, everyone dispersed to their tasks.
The scene before them was a lush green; the humidity and heat made it stuffy.
Bugs buzzed and birds chirped around, but Lin Yi’s heart was silent.
With the advancement of science and technology, some naive people believe they have the ability to control Tilia Island, thus making such decisions.
Perhaps in the near future, this lush forest will become barren.
But this is just the beginning.
After Kandaya Forest is flattened, the Tiyama River won’t be spared either.
It might be drained dry.
The most vibrant and lively areas of the island will eventually become history, and the contest for Tilia Island will reach its peak!
Perhaps humanity’s history will be rewritten from that time forward.
Lin Yi shook his head and chuckled.
He used to joke that he was just a cog in the machine; now, thinking about it, that’s exactly what he is.
When this giant machine begins to operate, he’s powerless.
Instinctively, Lin Yi looked toward the center of Tilia Island.
He didn’t know why, but since stepping on the island, he had a kind of premonition.
This mysterious island may not be as simple as it seems.
There might be unimaginable secrets behind it.
Anyone attempting to explore these secrets will be subjected to a baptism of blood and fire!
"Lin Bro, why are you not feeling high-spirited?" Luo Qi came over and asked, "Haven’t you always wanted to come to the island?"
"You figured it out?" Lin Yi said with a smile.
"I could tell since yesterday’s mission," Luo Qi said:
"You seemed a bit lost in thought."
Luo Qi’s role in the team was not only as a medic but also as a psychological counselor for the members.
Prior to this, Liu Hong had approached her to discuss always keeping an eye on the team, including Lin Yi.
If there were psychological issues, it wasn’t determined by strength but by human instinct regarding social perception.
Otherwise, even someone as strong as Jiang Zhengnan wouldn’t need psychological treatment every time he returned.
Therefore, Liu Hong had similar concerns.
And after the talk, Luo Qi paid extra attention to Lin Yi.
"Maybe there’s a psychological contrast, no issue, just need a few days to adapt."
"Lin Bro, if you ever feel something’s wrong, you must let me know."
"Don’t worry, nothing’s wrong with me. Let’s get back to work."
"Hmm."
Luo Qi stood up, ready to patrol elsewhere.
Just then, Lin Yi heard voices coming from afar.
"Get out from here!"
