CHAPTER 312: CHAPTER 312: HARVEST ONE SIDE

Tilian Planet.

The city is slowly illuminated by the rising sun, but this place doesn’t look too good...

Lots of fires, destroyed civilian buildings, and the refugee camp is in disarray.

But the fortress still stands firm, and the Tilian Planet has not been destroyed.

Lin Yi’s people collected enemy corpses and debris from the ruins.

His people were already accustomed to scavenging towns, couldn’t help but take away benches, road signs, and everything else they saw.

While they worked, the Archbishop gratefully met his savior.

The generals, their assistants, and even the Archbishop himself watched video clips of the battles against the Titans, eliminating aliens, and occupying their camps.

"I’m truly shocked, Lin Yi... that you accomplished this without any losses... It’s simply incredible!"

The Archbishop sighed heavily and set aside the tablet.

He tapped his fingers on the table for a while, then looked up at the equally awestruck crowd.

"We owe you too much, you eliminated the Titans, killed the aliens, and saved our fortress from enemies hidden right under our noses.

We are ready to give you a reward... But what can we give you? Gold Coins? More armor?"

"You know... I have nearly ten thousand soldiers without decent equipment. Can you make some basic gear for them, like heavy Power Armor?

I don’t want flashy stuff—just something simple, reliable, cheap, and easy to produce.

Give me four thousand sets as compensation, I’ll buy the rest from you."

"Deal! I’ll mobilize as many engineers as possible for this project."

"By the way, you received lots of rewards from that siege..." Lin Yi’s eyes sparkled.

"I’m afraid not that many... most were lost. Is there anything you’re particularly interested in?"

"Not really, but is there anything you find useless that might be useful to my people?"

"I’m not sure, I’ll need some time to check." The Archbishop pondered for a while but clearly wasn’t very interested in system items.

At this moment, Ms. Hala chimed in: "May I say something, Archbishop?"

"Go ahead, please." The Archbishop waved his hand and sat more comfortably on the throne.

Hala stood up and began to speak.

"I heard that Mr. Lin Yi is interested in lower-level Mecha, Archbishop... We recently received several First Level Mecha in the latest batch of rewards."

"But they’re completely useless! They consume energy like... Ah, I see your point, that’s indeed a good idea, how many do we have?"

"Five!" The 80-year-old woman, who looked quite young, answered after consulting her tablet.

The Archbishop thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "In that case... not many."

"I’m not sure if my people can even pilot them, so I only need one," Lin Yi added.

He originally hoped to get something more useful, like manufacturing equipment...

"No, I’ll give you all five, and I’ll surely check to see what else we have, just make a preliminary list first, Hala."

"Yes, Archbishop."

"Well, if there’s nothing else, I must go—I need to have lunch at home, I’m starving."

"Wait a moment, Lin Yi, there’s something I want to discuss with you.

I talked to the Archbishop of Jelat Fortress, and we want to invite you to set up branches in two other fortresses.

Of course, we will pay you for this."

"Making money is something I’m very willing to do."

"Then we’ll create a map for you and send messages to the other Archbishops."

The Archbishop smiled broadly, and everyone else in the room was equally delighted.

The separation between fortresses was the main obstacle to their development, but with Lin Yi, everything was different.

After a four-hour meeting finally ended, Lin Yi headed to his office, where Solomon and a group of Shelter soldiers were waiting for him.

The ten prisoners were also there.

They appeared dead but were actually just unconscious.

Lin Yi was having his lunch late, with only Solomon left in the dining hall.

"Boss, we have a problem!" Melanie shouted, busy working on a laptop nearby.

"What’s the matter?"

"The three factions at the power station are about to fight again!"

"Hmm?!" Lin Yi observed through the camera, quickly ordered the soldiers in the Leia Fortress.

"Solomon, get the troops ready! These guys won’t let me have a decent meal!"

Lin Yi quickly donned the system equipment and teleported to Leia’s palace office.

She wasn’t there.

The guards stationed outside the Governor’s room were shocked to see a person suddenly emerge from the supposedly empty room!

"Who are you?! How did you get in?!" One guard shouted, transforming into a Third Level serpent.

The other guard quickly followed suit.

Lin Yi said sternly, "I’m a supplier, where’s your Governor? The city is under attack?"

"Hmm? You are? But how did you..." The guard muttered, clearly at a loss.

"Take me to her quickly!"

"She’s currently negotiating with the attackers..."

"Take me there, the war is about to break out!"

The guards’ expressions changed upon hearing this.

As the governor’s trusted confidant, he naturally understood the importance of this supplier to the governor.

Without further hesitation, he immediately ran out of the building, hopped into a car, picked up Lin Yi, and headed toward the outer wall.

The negotiations were already taking place there.

Upon arrival, Lin Yi decided to observe first, assess the situation, and then intervene.

"Do you think I don’t know what’s happening, you slut?! You might have seduced him, and now you want to use him to further your own interests!" Lainer roared.

"If I could seduce him, I would have done it by now! I’ve told you a hundred times, something unexpected happened, and then he disappeared!"

"Listen to yourself! He disappeared?!"

"Lainer, have you seen the supplier teleport others? Why wouldn’t he be able to teleport himself?" Peter interjected. He was accompanied by a large number of soldiers and military vehicles.

"What exactly are you trying to do here?" Lin Yi flew over the wall on the "Dagger," interrupting their conversation.

"It’s the supplier!" everyone shouted, including those on the defensive side.

They really believed the governor had seduced and monopolized Lin Yi, feeling intense jealousy in their hearts.

"Some unexpected incidents happened, and I had to leave, but since you’re all here, I’ll be straightforward!"

Lin Yi hovered on the "Dagger" between the three armies and then waved his hand.

A large group of aliens appeared out of thin air!

Beetles, ordinary alien creatures, Taru people, short and middle-sized Fairies, dragons, Catwomen, Elves, all sorts of beings.

"It’s not just us who have suffered from the apocalypse; we’re not the only ones playing the survival game. All these beings you’ve seen here have lost their worlds.

If the Earth’s population drops below a certain threshold, the same fate will befall Earth, and you fools are contributing to this situation!"

Lin Yi looked around at the soldiers and their commanders. Only Peter and his people weren’t shocked by this news, as they had already heard about Earth’s predicament.

Others, upon learning of the situation, suddenly lost their will to fight and started discussing enthusiastically.

Many didn’t believe it, but the undeniable presence of these aliens made it unavoidable.

"I... have a bad habit of thinking the worst of people. Besides, I know Leia, she will do anything to achieve her goals..."

Lainer tried to justify his actions, with many soldiers on his side nodding in agreement,

but the people on Leia’s side pretended not to know what this "madman" was saying.

Lin Yi sighed, it seemed the three factions at the power plant had some past grievances.

He turned to the emotionally charged big man.

"Today, I need to conclude my negotiation with Leia, and tomorrow I may come and talk to you, Lainer. I hope you can give me a list."

"I have it ready, I... apologize for my earlier outburst. I also apologize to you, Leia."

"Wow... You actually apologized, and to me of all people? I never thought I’d see the day!"

"Don’t get used to it!" Lainer snorted, climbing into his armored vehicle.

The Düsseldorf army quickly returned to their city, but Peter and his team stayed to talk to Lin Yi.

"Go back first, Leia, I’ll come to your office in a while, and we’ll finish our deal."

Leia nodded at him and then left the wall with her people.

Lin Yi flew to the power plant team’s side, landed, and looked at the person in charge of this camp—Peter.

"So, have you made up your mind?"

"Yes. My team and I agree with your terms, but most refugees want to stay; they don’t dare take the risk..."

"Understood, and the people with you..."

Lin Yi looked at Peter and the three hundred soldiers and six tanks behind him.

"Are they all the ones who want to follow me?"

"There are also about four hundred refugees, but you mentioned filtering out certain people."

"Exactly." Lin Yi nodded and then paused, "No thugs, murderers, rapists, or human garbage. Let’s head to your camp then."

Everyone returned to the power plant.

Lin Yi summoned bodyguards, Mind Readers, and assistants for the refugee screening process.

Naturally, Peter and his men also had to undergo screening before the refugees.

They all passed the test, and the screening was quickly completed.

There were a total of 288 soldiers, 421 refugees, and six tanks, which was quite a valuable windfall.

"It seems the power plant employees aren’t too upset about your departure, are they?"

"They... want to maintain control of the situation."

"Will the power plant continue to operate?"

"It will... boss! Mostly Germans."

"Understood, let’s begin." Lin Yi waved his hand, and the seven hundred people received shelter notifications.

They accepted contracts one by one and were automatically teleported to the Shelter.

In the end, only six tanks were left, but soon enough, they disappeared too, along with about five hundred tons of parts and supplies.

After wrapping up matters at the power plant, Lin Yi returned to Cologne, meeting with the governor and her few assistants in a less private location.

By the riverside.

"Here’s one hundred thousand Coins for purchasing the Vending Machine, when can you activate it?"

"Anytime, when do you plan to install it?"

"Later tonight." Leia nodded.

Unlike last time, she was more focused on negotiation this time, rather than trying to seduce anyone.

"Are we still going with the plan we discussed earlier?"
