122: Want to gamble?

Three loitering munitions were launched simultaneously, aimed at the direction of the black room in mid-air, then suddenly accelerated!

Inside the black room at this time, Chen Yu and Zhang Ning were behind the wall on the left.

Chen Yu was applying medicine, and Zhang Ning was saving Shen Cangsheng.

Upon hearing the sound of the loitering munitions, Chen Yu quickly stopped applying medicine and shouted at Zhang Ning:

"Don't save him yet! Run inside quickly!"

Zhang Ning also heard the sound of the loitering munitions, but as soon as she canceled the rescue, before the two of them could run, three loitering munitions exploded right beside them!

Boom— — — —!

Boom— — — —!

Boom— — — —!

The three loitering munitions exploded simultaneously; no precise hit was needed, just a glancing blow, and Zhang Ning was blown apart on one side of her body, dying on the spot.

As for Chen Yu, although he ran a bit further, he was still hit in the leg and died.

At this point, all three were wiped out.

After the three were revived in the open area, Chen Yu's sequela was a limp in his right leg.

"Cough— —cough— — —cough— — — —"

Zhang Ning's sequela was her lungs; she coughed incessantly.

If left untreated, entering an action zone in the future would almost be like notifying enemies in a small radius: someone is here!

As for the most unlucky one, it was Shen Cangsheng, who died from a headshot.

At this moment, Shen Cangsheng held his hands high, his eyes crossed, running around the two of them non-stop, while sticking out his tongue and shouting:

"I'm a Teletubby! I'm a Teletubby!"

...Special Item Collection Point.

Looking at Chen Yu's departing back, Liu Yan felt somewhat baffled.

But according to what the other party said, it seemed he broke his leg at the Aerospace Base.

"Forget it, I'll ignore him for now. It's time to replace the resuscitation ventilator."

Liu Yan stood up from his seat and walked to the front desk.

"Hello, is it my turn now?"

The administrator at the front desk nodded, then began operating on the computer.

After about a minute, the administrator stood up, entered a heavy steel door, and began searching.

When the administrator came out, Liu Yan finally saw his big red, which he had longed for day and night.

The resuscitation ventilator!

Liu Yan took the resuscitation ventilator and gently stroked its surface with his hand, feeling as if he were dreaming.

He had worked himself to death inside without finding it, and in the end, he obtained it in such a way.

"Thank you."

Liu Yan thanked him, then put the resuscitation ventilator into quantum storage and left the hall with Fuji.

Liu Yan didn't speak the whole way, just kept frowning in thought, so Fuji and Zhao Chuang didn't disturb him.

From the very beginning, a question had always lingered in Liu Yan's mind.

That is, the ability of the resuscitation ventilator represents resurrection.

And his mother was not dead, just had brain cancer and was close to dying.

This meant he would need to wait for his mother to die, then use the resuscitation ventilator to revive her.

This problem had troubled Liu Yan until the three returned to the office, and Liu Yan impatiently pulled out the resuscitation ventilator.

"Iron Egg, do you know how to use this thing?"

Fuji looked at the resuscitation ventilator and continued:

"On the top secret server, it only states that this thing's function is resurrection; there's nothing else."

Liu Yan shook his head. In the game, the resuscitation ventilator didn't even have an inspection action.

Most items could be operated through an inspection action, but this kind still required him to figure it out himself.

Liu Yan touched the resuscitation ventilator screen, but there was no reaction. Then Liu Yan pressed the button below.

Snap—

A white light lit up on the resuscitation ventilator, and then a series of texts appeared on the screen.

"Is this... a person's name?" Liu Yan frowned, looking at the text on the resuscitation ventilator.

Liu Yan kept scrolling back and forth, counting, and estimated there were only less than ten thousand people.

One name caught Liu Yan's attention.

Zhao Dabao.

He was the one Liu Yan killed when he first entered the Top Secret Area, before entering the Babel Tower.

At that time, Liu Yan specifically looked at his tag.

Liu Yan's pupils contracted.

"I think I understand the function of the resuscitation ventilator."

There are so many people in the world, and the number of deaths every day is more than ten thousand, but the resuscitation ventilator only recorded less than ten thousand!

Such a small number was unreasonable.

Based on Zhao Dabao's name being on it, Liu Yan drew a conclusion.

The resuscitation ventilator can only revive people who died in the Third District.

"Brother Yan, why is your breathing suddenly so fast?"

"Uh... Brother Ji, why are you too..."

Zhao Chuang looked at the two of them, puzzled. Liu Yan squatted in front of the resuscitation ventilator, while Fuji supported himself on his knees behind Liu Yan, looking at the resuscitation ventilator.

What they had in common was that their breathing was rapid.

Fuji's rapid breathing was because he had just seen Cai Ning's name on the list.

And that was his father.

As for Liu Yan.

If the resuscitation ventilator could only revive people who died in the Third District... he would need to bring his mother to the Top Secret Area, then kill her... This way, he could use the resuscitation ventilator to revive his mother and also get rid of the brain cancer.

Liu Yan's hand, suspended over the resuscitation ventilator, slowly retracted. Then he took out his phone and sent a message to Dr. Zhao.

Liu Yan: Dr. Zhao, does my mother feel any pain in her current condition?

A minute later, Dr. Zhao's message came back.

Dr. Zhao: Normally she would, but with your lavish treatment, she has no physical pain, only psychological, as anyone facing only one month left to live would... Liu Yan: Okay, thank you.

Dr. Zhao: By the way, she really wants to see you one last time.

Liu Yan: I'll go see her in a while.

After replying to the message, Liu Yan put away his phone.

He planned to clear up his sequelae and remove the scars on his face before going.

His current appearance was not suitable.

Based on the previous information, it was almost 100% certain that Cai Ning was his brother from before he transmigrated.

With only one resuscitation ventilator, Liu Yan was originally quite conflicted.

On one side was his mother, tormented by illness, and on the other side was his brother.

Although this mother was not his biological mother, he had transmigrated and taken over the original owner's life, so he naturally had to be responsible for his life.

But the mechanism of the resuscitation ventilator made Liu Yan decide to save Cai Ning first.

With the increased drop rate in the Third District, resuscitation ventilators were easier to obtain than before, and with nearly a month left, finding another one would not be difficult.

The drop rate would only increase, not decrease, in the future.

Once the outcome was determined, the priority had to be considered.

Clearly, Cai Ning had a higher priority; he had too many questions to ask.

Liu Yan's finger returned to the resuscitation ventilator, and he began to search.

He stopped when he found the page with Cai Ning's name.

Next to Cai Ning's name, there was an expandable information section. Clicking on it revealed Cai Ning's age, height, and other details.

It seemed to be to avoid reviving someone with the same name.

But among all these names, there was only one Cai Ning, so there was no need to worry about such a situation occurring.

Liu Yan's finger hovered over Cai Ning's name. He turned his head and smiled at Fuji:

"Brother Ji, let's make a bet."

"Your dad is my brother, so by seniority, you should call me Uncle."

"Want to bet?"
