113: Chapter 113 A Tribute to Life

The stairwell was thick with the pungent stench of urine.

The John Bull man let out a strange shriek and scrambled down the stairs on all fours.

The remaining two lackeys fled outward, rolling and crawling in their haste.

Severed limbs were trampled, sending bloody water splashing everywhere.

Lin Ye casually shook off the remnants of flesh and blood from his Fire Axe.

He turned and walked toward the ruptured outer wall on the east side.

Wind and snow swirled inside.

On a drainage pipe, the Indian man was sliding down desperately against the rust.

On the other side, on a scrap iron frame, the South Korean man was climbing down with both hands and feet.

Lin Ye walked to the edge.

He raised his right arm.

Micro-mechanisms engaged with high-frequency clicks.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two anchors from the Dark Weaver shot out into the wind and snow.

The Indian man's neck tightened as his collar was firmly hooked.

The South Korean man's belt was also locked tight by a massive force.

The bracer's engine erupted with a sharp hum.

Lin Ye lifted his wrist.

The two men were forcibly pulled away from the building's outer wall.

They were suspended in mid-air outside the seventh floor.

"Let me go!" the Indian man struggled violently, his limbs kicking wildly.

The fierce wind caused his body to spin.

Below them was a swarm of monsters devouring the remains of a giant beast.

The South Korean man's tears and snot flowed freely: "Great Xia Papa! Please, spare me!"

Lin Ye's mechanism clicked open.

The Nano-wires released instantly.

The two bodies plummeted straight toward the ruins a hundred meters below.

The howling wind drowned out their screams.

Two seconds later.

Thud! Thud!

Dull impacts exploded on the ground below.

The swarm of greyish-white monsters swarmed over them.

The bullet chat in the Great Xia Live Stream refreshed frantically.

[Satisfying! Kill them all! Don't leave a single one!]

[Brother Eye did a great job! Dealing with these bandits requires physical transcendence!]

[Let's see who dares to steal Great Xia's things in the future!]

Zhao Mengmeng stepped out from behind a stone pillar.

Holding her crossbow, she quickly surveyed the entire seventh floor.

The ground was covered in minced meat and mangled corpses.

She suppressed the churning in her stomach, confirming there were no living things left.

Lin Ye retracted the Dark Weaver and walked to a sheltered spot by the broken wall.

He untied the bark rope used for securing things on his chest.

He pulled out the earth source blood crystal.

The gold-red patterns on the crystal's surface emitted a halo in the dim space.

Zhao Mengmeng leaned nearby, her gaze fervent.

"To fight for this thing, three giant beasts died down there, and a bunch of people died on our side."

Lin Ye didn't answer and raised his left hand.

He lightly pressed the black terminal.

Hum.

A translucent light-blue beam shot out from the terminal.

It projected a one-cubic-meter 3D scanning frame onto the stone slab.

The blue light flickered across Lin Ye and Zhao Mengmeng's faces.

Lin Ye steadily placed the crystal in the center of the frame.

With the terminal's time limit removed, its tactical advantages were fully revealed.

The confirmation key was pressed.

Blue data streams rapidly intertwined, completely enveloping the crystal.

The crystal turned into specks of golden light, following the scanning beam to break through the ceiling of the ruined building.

At the same time.

The announcement of the National Destiny Challenge echoed across Blue Star.

[Great Xia Challenger: Lin Ye has successfully uploaded resources!]

[Resource: earth source blood crystal!]

[This resource contains primordial life force.]

[Triggering National Destiny special feedback—Hymn of Life!]

[Across the entire territory of Great Xia, the physical fitness of all citizens is forcibly increased by 10%!]

[Across the entire territory of Great Xia, the incidence of disease for all citizens is permanently reduced by 10%!]

Across the 9.6 million square kilometers of Great Xia on Blue Star, things exploded.

In the night sky, endless pure golden light poured down.

The golden light ignored the roofs of buildings and underground shelters.

It merged into the body of every Great Xia citizen.

In Jinghai City, at the Intensive Care Unit of the First People's Hospital.

An elderly man with late-stage lung cancer lay on a hospital bed, his face ashen.

The ventilator emitted rapid beeping sounds.

A strand of golden light pierced through the floors and sank into the old man's chest.

The lines on the ECG monitor suddenly pulled into a strong peak.

Beep—Beep—Beep!

The sound became steady and powerful.

The old man's sunken cheeks filled out slightly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Color returned to his pale skin.

He opened his eyes, reached up, and tore off the oxygen mask on his face.

His withered lungs took a deep breath of fresh air.

"It doesn't hurt anymore..."

The old man lifted the quilt and sat up directly under the horrified gaze of the nurse.

"My lungs, they don't hurt anymore!"

The ward door was pushed open.

Seeing the old man full of vigor, his family knelt on the ground and wailed with joy.

In another ward at a children's hospital's hematology department.

A young girl with leukemia leaned in her mother's arms.

Golden light entered her body.

The girl's originally pale and bloodless lips quickly turned rosy.

She touched her bald head.

"Mom, I feel like I have so much strength. I want to get out of bed and run laps!"

The young mother held her daughter tight, sobbing uncontrollably.

Across Great Xia, miracles were unfolding in thousands of hospitals.

The withered muscles of the disabled filled out again.

The elderly who had been bedridden for years stood up and walked on the ground.

At a frontier outpost five thousand meters above sea level in the northwest.

Lin Changshan was patrolling the boundary marker amidst a blizzard.

His left knee had suffered severe frostbite during a snow disaster relief mission; whenever the temperature dropped below zero, it would ache piercingly to the bone.

Golden light spilled onto the snowfield and merged into his body.

Lin Changshan's eyes widened.

A surge of heat pumped from his heart, washing through his limbs and bones along his blood vessels.

The cold sensation in his left knee was washed away.

The old injuries accumulated in his joints were smoothed over.

Blood and qi surged within his body.

Lin Changshan moved his left leg.

Light and powerful.

The young soldiers beside him were even more exaggerated.

Someone lifted equipment weighing dozens of catties with one hand.

"Squad Leader! I feel like I could kill a cow with one punch right now!"

Lin Changshan stood by the boundary marker.

His rough hand stroked the national emblem on the marker.

Two lines of hot tears rolled down his chiseled cheeks and fell into the snow.

In the command hall of the Great Xia Disaster Prevention Administration.

Zhou Jianping, the head of the intelligence group, slapped the table excitedly.

"The reports are out! Data just came in from the national medical system; the mortality rate for critically ill patients has plummeted!"

Director Wei Tiejun stood in front of the large screen.

He clenched his fist tightly.

"Good kid... good kid!"

Director Wei Tiejun's voice was hoarse.

The Great Xia Live Stream's bullet chat became a sea of golden words.

[Long live Brother Eye!!!]

[My back was just aching, but after a flash of golden light, I could snap my keyboard in half now!]

[My grandfather stood up! Paralyzed for three years, he just walked to the kitchen and got a bowl of rice himself!]

[Lin Ye is my only father! Whoever dares to bash him, I'll follow the network cable and twist their head off!]

[Tears! Brother Eye is risking his life to fight for our health!]

The livestreams of other countries became scenes of massive breakdowns.

USA netizens smashed their keyboards in anger.

[This is definitely cheating! The supreme will is biased toward Great Xia!]

[Why do we only get to eat canned food while they get to directly evolve their bodies!]

[Fuck! I want to cure my obesity and high blood pressure too!]

Indian netizens wailed and cried.

[Those two useless trash! They actually got thrown off the building!]

[That was our crystal! If we had snatched it, we wouldn't get sick anymore!]

Kangaroo Country viewers were completely broken.

[Our Challengers are all dead, why don't the Great Xia people share some of that light with us!]

The replies from Great Xia netizens were uniform.

[Great Xia: Stop barking, just sit back and watch Great Xia take flight!]
