Chapter 325 It's your turn to save us.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, ugh!"
Chen Yu coughed violently, as if he were trying to cough his lungs out!
He slumped on the ground, feeling weak, his hand still holding up a silvery-white card: "Take this..."
Wang Mengmeng turned around at the first opportunity and rushed to Chen Yu's side.
She looked at the release card in Chen Yu's hand, took it with both hands, and tears fell onto the card surface.
She shook her head, serious for the first time: "I... I will definitely not let you down, Brother Chen Yu..."

Silvery-white light exploded from the edges of the card, light filaments seeping out from between her fingers and climbing up her hands.
She closed her eyes, and the silver light circulated around her body. It took a full three or four seconds before it slowly dissipated.
[Talent Grade: A-Grade]
Talent Name: Wide-Area Timing Correction
Description: The gears of time have never stopped, but some can make them re-engage. Based on the heart rate of the time-reader, correct every misalignment on the timeline.
Effect: Within a 3.5-meter radius centered on oneself, disperse all time-related abnormal statuses, and simultaneously remove time-Perception negative effects caused by external sources (such as visual lag, slowed reactions, distortion of the sense of time, etc.).
Wang Mengmeng opened her eyes and stared at those lines of text in the void.
She fell into complete silence.
A 3.5-meter radius, although much better than 1 meter, was ultimately still only able to cover a small circle around her. If she took two quick steps, her teammates might be out of range.
Trying to rely on this Talent to solve the thing outside was nothing short of a pipe dream.
Chen Yu propped himself up against the wall and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
Wang Mengmeng opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. She lowered her head, twisting the corner of her clothes, her shoulders trembling.
"I..."
"I failed again."
Wang Mengmeng's tears fell.
Every time she thought about how Chen Yu had exhausted his lifespan to trade for a chance of survival for everyone, but she had repeatedly failed to live up to it, a deep sense of loss welled up in her heart.
Everyone didn't think highly of you, but you just had to be disappointing.

Chen Yu looked at her, was silent for a moment, then reached out and patted her on the head: "It's okay."
"Huh?"
Wang Mengmeng raised her head, her gaze meeting Chen Yu's smile.
She said with a crying voice: "But, I again..."
"I can still help you."
Chen Yu smiled weakly and waved his hand, signaling everyone to turn around.
Wang Mengmeng was stunned.
Zuo Shi was stunned.
Yang Kexin was stunned.
Flyer still didn't dare to turn back, not knowing what had happened behind him.
The three women originally wanted to persuade him, but seeing Chen Yu's serious expression, they eventually turned around.
"Always taking from you ~"
"Yet never saying thank you"
"Only after growing up did I understand ~"
"That you didn't have it easy ~"
For some reason, Flyer turned on the speakers and played a song that didn't fit the occasion.
Under Wang Mengmeng's red-eyed gaze, he sheepishly turned it off.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"God of the Future, this is really the last time..."
Chen Yu thought to himself: It can't go any higher than this, S-Grade is already the highest level his cards can reach.
As Chen Yu's voice ended, there wasn't even any coughing.
The three women sensed something was wrong.
Zuo Shi frowned: "Chen Yu? How are you?"
Yang Kexin also whispered: "Chen Yu?"
Wang Mengmeng was anxious: "Brother Chen Yu! If you don't reply, we're going to turn around!"
But only silence answered them.
The three women immediately turned around, only to see Chen Yu collapsed on the ground, as if he were dead.
"Brother Chen Yu!"
Wang Mengmeng was the first to rush over, throwing herself onto the ground, not knowing where to put her hands.
"Brother Chen Yu! Don't scare me! Wake up!"
She shook Chen Yu's shoulders, shaking twice, and Chen Yu's head swayed twice, but there was no response.
Yang Kexin squatted down and reached out to check Chen Yu's breathing...
"It's okay, Brother Chen Yu is alive."
Yang Kexin breathed a sigh of relief.
Zuo Shi's voice was also trembling: "Mengmeng, contact Dr. Qiao immediately!"
"Oh, oh, okay!"
Wang Mengmeng hurriedly opened her personal chat panel and started a private message.
Zuo Shi immediately pinched Chen Yu's philtrum.
But after pressing for a full ten seconds, there was no improvement; Chen Yu's eyelids remained tightly closed.
"Use force! Zuo Shi, use force!"
"I am really using force!"
"What do we do now?"
"What did Dr. Qiao say?"
Wang Mengmeng's voice trembled: "I explained the situation, Chen Yu is in a coma due to overdrawing his lifespan, and Dr. Qiao has no solution either, only saying to let him lie flat first, with his head turned to one side to prevent his tongue from falling back and blocking his airway."
Zuo Shi, in a flurry, gently turned Chen Yu's head to one side.
"Then what do we do next? Did Dr. Qiao teach us?"
"Dr. Qiao said..."
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
Chen Yu suddenly coughed a few times and opened his eyes weakly: "What happened to me just now?"
Wang Mengmeng wiped her face messily with her sleeve and sniffled: "Brother Chen Yu, you really scared me to death. You suddenly stopped moving just now, like... like you were dead..."
Flyer squatted nearby and swallowed: "Big Brother Chen Yu, if you really died here, we wouldn't have to live either. That thing outside, relying on us... we can't even touch it."
Chen Yu shook his head helplessly and took out a silver card from his pocket.
Wang Mengmeng was stunned.
Chen Yu smiled slightly: "This is for you. From now on, you are an S-Grade Awakened."
Wang Mengmeng's eyes turned red again.

Flyer looked at the silver card, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't envious; it was his first time seeing such a card.
But he didn't dare to have any crooked thoughts.
"Brother Chen Yu, I... can I refuse to use it? I don't want to again..."
Wang Mengmeng suddenly lost her nerve this time.
She was afraid.
She was afraid that her upgrade would only change from 3.5 seconds to 5 seconds, afraid that the Talent upgrade wouldn't make much difference, afraid that she wouldn't be able to help Chen Yu but would waste resources.
But Chen Yu forcefully stuffed the card into Wang Mengmeng's hand.
"Wang Mengmeng, this time, it's your turn to save us."
Chen Yu said earnestly.
Wang Mengmeng looked at the card in her hand and took a deep breath: "I... I..."
"Every time ~ I persist in wandering alone ~"
"Every time ~ even if hurt, I don't shed tears ~"
"I know ~ I have always had a pair of invisible wings ~"
"Take me to fly ~ fly..."
"Flyer!"
Yang Kexin turned off the music and put her hands on her hips: "Do you think you're good at picking songs!"
"Uh."
Flyer was scolded and shrank into the shadows not far away to squat.
Wang Mengmeng was still looking at the card in her hand, biting her lip: "Then I... I'll try one more time..."
