Chapter 275 [The Fountain of Life]

Hearing the words "good people get rewarded."

Chen Yu remained unfazed: "Officer Zhang is right, I also feel like the heavens are compensating me."

Zhang Lieyang's mouth twitched, but he didn't press further.

Chen Muqing suddenly urged: "Let's go quickly, our boat is still parked on the shore. If we delay any longer and the third day passes, we'll exceed the time limit!"

Everyone then remembered,

that the second stage had a time limit.

Now,

two days had already passed.

If they were delayed by some more nonsense, that would be a disaster.

Song Xingmian nodded: "True, with the tide needles on Lu Heng, it's enough to be in the top ten no matter what..."

"It's just."

She looked at the ground nearby and sighed softly: "Captain Han died at the hands of a teammate. This kind of death... I don't even know what wording to use for his report."

She walked half a circle around the two bodies, her fingers quickly swiping a few times at the edge of her vision.

It seemed she had finished taking the last set of photos.

Only then did she put the two bodies back into her backpack, then went to Chen Yu's side and supported his arm.

"Let's go."

...

When they returned to the boat,

the stern was empty, and the bow was empty.

The whole small boat was much lonelier than when they had set out.

After all,

only four people were left.

Zhang Lieyang and Chen Muqing sat silently in the front row, picked up the oars, and rowed toward the distance.

Song Xingmian helped Chen Yu sit down at the stern.

She took out a bandage and was about to wrap it around Chen Yu.

After all, this guy looked like he was about to die.

But Chen Yu leaned back, avoiding the bandage in Song Xingmian's hand.

"No need, no need, really no need."

"I only have internal injuries. Even if there are external ones, they don't matter."

"Save the bandages for someone who needs them more."

Chen Yu refused repeatedly.

But Song Xingmian shook her head: "You say they don't matter and they don't? The sea breeze is full of salt. What if they get infected? Sometimes, a small wound can be fatal!"

Chen Yu's mouth twitched.

His wounds had healed long ago; where on his body was there a wound?

The blood on him was quite intimidating,

but not a single drop belonged to him!

Seeing Chen Yu continue to decline, a small black wooden flat box suddenly appeared in Song Xingmian's hand...

The lid opened, and a vial of medicine lay inside?

A transparent tube, the seal intact, and the liquid inside was a very pale gold!

"This is a special-supply medicine issued by the Military District, specifically for everyone. You..."

"I really don't need it!"

Chen Yu had originally raised his hand to push it back, but the moment his fingertips touched the vial, a piece of information unfolded in his vision—

[Life Spring Flow]

Description: Based on the raw liquid of the Life Spring Flow, it has been concentrated into the form of an injection after multiple separations and refinements. Commonly found in Zombie-type sites.

Effect: After consumption, all surface wounds, internal injuries, bone fractures, and soft tissue damage will accelerate natural healing within a very short time.

Note: Can be reused, but continuous consumption will produce drug resistance, with the effectiveness of a single dose decreasing.

"?"

This was the first time Chen Yu had seen this kind of "Big Red Potion."

Universal for all wounds—this point alone was enough to make this bottle of medicine priceless.

"Then I'll take it for now."

Chen Yu chuckled, turned around, and pretended to drink the medicine, but actually stowed the vial away.

Song Xingmian was still busy, her expression constantly changing as she looked at the void in front of her. Chen Yu guessed she was already reporting to the Military District.

After all,

Han Cheng's status was special.

His death would likely cause quite a stir.

"By the way..."

Song Xingmian suddenly turned her head. "What exactly happened when you faced the siege of the three teams? The Huaxia Military Region needs a detailed account..."

As soon as she finished speaking,

Zhang Lieyang and Chen Muqing in front both pricked up their ears.

Chen Yu was silent for a while before speaking calmly: "After you left, I knew... my Talent wasn't suitable for head-on combat. The only thing I could do was run toward the center of the island."

"Wait..."

Zhang Lieyang suddenly looked back and frowned: "Shouldn't you have run away from the island? Running toward the center, getting further and further from the coastline, weren't you forcing yourself into a dead end?"

Chen Yu shook his head and gave a bitter smile: "With that kind of lineup on the ground, I couldn't escape. I could only try to stall them to let Mianmian... ah, no, to let you all evacuate safely."

Zhang Lieyang: "..."

He snapped back to his senses and continued rowing.

Hearing this, Song Xingmian's expression also became a bit unnatural.

"Go on."

"Yeah."

Chen Yu continued: "In short, I fled to the center of the island... unexpectedly, there was a hidden trial ground there. The entrance was hidden under a collapsed tide pool and would only be revealed at low tide."

He paused and continued: "Beneath the entrance is a stone-paved passage. The walls on both sides are covered with ancient runes I couldn't understand, and at the end is a stone door..."

Chen Yu spoke with great gravity and detail.

Including but not limited to: the various mechanical traps inside the door, the various threats of the traps, and so on...

Chen Yu even interspersed a lot of personal monologues and his understanding of the levels into the story.

The reason Chen Yu spoke so realistically

was very simple.

Because everything he said had actually happened, just not in this life.

Under his explanation, everyone felt as if they were there, truly experiencing a terrifying trial.

In the very end, Chen Yu relied on his pure and kind nature to pass the trial and obtain so many tide needles.

At this point,

Zhang Lieyang no longer doubted the truth of the trial.

After all, unless one had actually experienced it, who could explain these methods of cracking and passing the levels so seamlessly? That was a complete logical chain!

After a long time,

Song Xingmian shook her head slightly and turned her head to look at Chen Yu.

The sea breeze made the stray hairs on her forehead sway slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Yu met her gaze. "Is there still blood on my face that I haven't wiped clean? Why are you looking at me?"

Song Xingmian shook her head.

She just suddenly felt that it was quite incredible that Lu Heng could be sitting here alive.

"It's nothing."

"Gulu?"

Water Bubble jumped from Chen Yu's shoulder onto Song Xingmian's lap.

Song Xingmian reached out and gently poked its head, and Shui Bobo let out a mumbled gurgle.

The boat continued forward. The mist on the sea completely dissipated at noon, and sunlight poured down through the gaps in the clouds, plating the iron-gray sea surface with a layer of faint silver scales.

The lighthouse in the distance was getting closer and closer.

Zhang Lieyang did a simple calculation and said, "Almost there. We'll arrive before dark."

"Yeah."

Song Xingmian nodded: "With Lu Heng's tide needles, it seems people don't want to encounter us. Several waves of light just now were all fleeing from us."

Chen Muqing nodded while rowing: "Yeah, at least ten groups of people all left quickly."

It turns out,

after displaying one's strength, most people don't dare to act recklessly.
