CHAPTER 304: CHAPTER 304 WANT TO BECOME YOUNGER

Inside the shelter.

Lin Yi never expected that the Medical Master was so terrifying.

Mark nodded seriously.

"I can do it, although the longer a person has been a zombie, the lower the possibility of being cured, but once I reach level 4, I’ll understand more clearly."

The professor’s eyes were bright and full of life.

He now had a goal.

At the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse, he failed to develop a vaccine, falling into a low point in life, nearly dying, but now...

He truly had a chance to save humanity.

This goal filled him with motivation and energy, making him feel capable of moving mountains and filling the seas!

"I understand...you know, this might greatly inspire all of humanity...what do you think of this?"

Lin Yi produced a Skill Book in his hand.

[Master of Flesh and Blood]

A unique skill, only one copy exists. Upon your death, the Skill Book has a chance to reappear.

Allows the user to manipulate flesh and blood.

"I think this skill is much more complex than it appears. It might be helpful, but I don’t have enough Skill Points.

I’d rather invest my Skill Points in the ’Healer’ or ’Savior’ skills."

"Got it...You now have two main goals: to restore key personnel to youth and to start producing Stat Reset Potions.

Currently, only you and Azarus can do this, and we desperately need these potions to reorganize the military.

By the way, how much does it cost to make the potion?"

"5000 Coins." The professor said awkwardly.

"Damn, that’s too expensive..."

"That was just a test. We also need to select herbs, materials, and so on."

The professor tried to reassure the boss, but it was to no avail.

When it came to money, Lin Yi’s face turned serious: "At least reduce the cost to 1000 Coins."

"I think we should start gathering herbs from Earth’s forests and the Fragment World. Once the necessary materials for production are determined, it will be cheaper."

"Alright...Orianna, have you planted all the herbs we got from the Fragment World?"

"Yes, boss." The blonde woman nodded in response.

At this moment, she had tears in her eyes.

On one hand, she suddenly saw new hope to save the world, but on the other hand, most zombies in the United Kingdom and France had already been killed...

Now there was no way to cure her relatives.

"Why are you crying? Forget it, don’t tell me. Even if you explain, I still won’t understand.

Most of the time, you don’t even know why you’re crying, honestly."

Lin Yi muttered.

This made the blonde woman giggle again.

The atmosphere at the breakfast table was a bit strange now.

Some people were still processing this new information, while others had already accepted it.

Some were overjoyed, while others were downcast.

But Annie...

"Professor! Professor!" The little girl kept shouting until she finally got the doctor’s attention.

As soon as Annie made eye contact with old Mark, she launched a powerful offensive.

"You can make people younger, right? Please, I really need it!"

"Hahaha! But you’re already young, how old are you? 19?"

"19? Do I look that young?"

Annie blushed and laughed in response, then realized and stomped her foot.

"I’m in my early twenties! I want to look younger!"

"Actually, I can’t make you younger; I can only replenish your body’s energy and restore it. This will make you look better, but..."

The professor’s voice gradually faded away.

It was too late!

After he uttered this crucial sentence, he realized there were now twelve young women looking at him with burning eyes.

It was a look that would stop at nothing to achieve their goals, even killing if necessary...

Lin Yi chuckled and said, "You’re in trouble now, my great doctor!"

As the professor was surrounded by a group of crazed people, Lin Yi asked Solomon to start preparing for the military reorganization.

The analysis of the "Flame" Skill Book was expected to be completed the next day.

Once completed, Lin Yi would upgrade the laboratory to level 2, then start analyzing the "Air" skill.

Solomon also reported on the investigation results of the Children of the Sun—in 9567 warriors, there were 191 mages, most of whom had the "Flame" skill. Some were also "Light" and "Air" mages...

After the two finished talking.

Lin Yi found that only he, Solomon, and a few children were left here.

"Where did everyone go?"

"They took the professor somewhere else."

"I still have a ton of questions to ask Chen Youyou and Natasha. By the way, how are my three silly kids doing now?"

"They’re doing very well. Sasha is an outstanding warrior.

Even as we speak, he’s single-handedly clearing a large area at the border.

Kaya is also impressive; she and her brother are having a competition to see who can kill the most zombies.

Their wings have been a great help on the battlefield, and they will soon reach level 10."

"That’s great...how are they getting along with the other patrol members?"

"...People are surprisingly friendly to them."

"That’s really strange...if I were an ordinary person seeing those terrifying half-human, half-insect guys, I probably would have run away a long time ago."

"At first, people were indeed afraid, but then they gradually got used to it. Then, when they transformed into human form, the soldiers really began to accept them."

Lin Yi choked on the meat pie and quickly drank a large gulp of tea to avoid dying from embarrassment.

"They can transform!?"

"You don’t know? ... You’re such an incompetent dad, boss."

"No doubt about it."

Lin Yi knew Solomon was only joking.

He pushed the teacup aside, leaned back in his chair, and looked up at the sky.

The clear, azure heaven overhead brought a sense of calm. A cloud drifted by, followed by a dragon, and then another cloud came.

Earth is drawing closer to destruction every day...

He didn’t dare to claim he was a savior, might not even be a good person, but he didn’t want to lose the planet either.

He absolutely didn’t want to lose this survival game.

He was going to find the person responsible for all this, give them a good beating, and trample them underfoot.

~~~~~~

A Moving Island in the Sea of Space-Time.

Surrounding the Tel Tribe City, the twenty-meter-high wall had changed color from gray to dark red, soaked with the blood of countless fallen Zombies.

"Great leader... the enemy has retreated. We have won."

"Tel Shu, but we have only won a battle... not the war." Terghai replied while reading a system message.

He had matured a lot recently, appearing wiser than his actual age.

[Alert! The invasion has been repelled!]

The corpses of your fallen enemies have been recovered.

You have gained 21,838,890 units of matter.

3,625,140 Survivor Coins.

36,681 rewards.

[Rewards have been sent to your warehouse!]

"What’s the casualty count?"

"266 Warriors dead, 30,000 injured. Great leader... these numbers are staggering." Tel Shu spoke, kneeling in awe before the leader.

"If Lin Yi were here, he’d surely scold me for losing so many people..." Terghai thought, grinning.

"We still have much to learn."

"Great leader... Should I order the Warriors... to pursue the enemy?"

"No."

The beastman leader shook his head, pointing at the Warriors cheering for victory.

"Take care of the wounded! Repair our equipment! Gather all the women! Give each one a reward!

If the reward is empty... do not give that woman... any more rewards! Bring the last one who opens... the empty reward here to me!"

"Understood, great leader! It will be done!"

~~~~~

"Azarus!" Lin Yi suddenly appeared in the Alchemy Laboratory, startling everyone present.

"Boss?! Don’t do that! If I make a small mistake in mixing materials, I might blow up the whole building!"

The young-looking Mage protested.

Formerly elderly Azarus now appeared as a young man between twenty to twenty-five years old.

"... Can the materials for the Stat Reset Potion really explode?"

"I’m not making Stat Reset Potion now! I’m experimenting with herbs and other plants you planted. This is crucial for reducing Potion costs..."

Lin Yi grinned hearing about cost reduction.

He surveyed the laboratory.

Many Healers and Doctors were crafting Immunity Potions one bottle after another.

Occasionally, they’d go to a refrigerator to retrieve organs from corpses that used to be Zombies.

These are now materials for Potion making.

Indeed, if Zombie corpses are placed in boxes or refrigerators, they don’t get absorbed at all.

But refrigerators are better as they avoid the stench...

"Are you looking for me or just here for a chat?" The Mage set aside a peculiar metal teapot.

He wore a white lab coat, interestingly adorned with the Shelter’s logo/symbol/badge.

"Just for a chat." Lin Yi answered.

Noticing the whiteboard with a few Alchemy formulas written in a language he didn’t recognize.

"So... what’s that strange creature under the Ark?"

"Strange... creature?" Azarus paused, trying to fathom this odd remark.

Fortunately, his symptoms of aging had improved, and his brain worked much better now.

"Oh! You mean that Leviathan? It’s beautiful, isn’t it? A masterpiece of Chimera Science! It’s said the Leviathan was created using a space-time demon, but that’s yet to be confirmed.

All information about them is highly confidential... Only Royal Chimerists, clan leaders of the Vampire Clan, can access these details.

And only they possess sufficiently high Chimera Science Skills to utilize such knowledge. It’s said their Skill Level reached 5!"

"So... can that creature be killed?" the boss murmured, stroking his chin.

This was extremely critical information.

"You wish to kill it? Why?"

The elderly man seemed perplexed, peeling a layer from a plant stem before suddenly stopping.

"However... the existence of Leviathans allows others to easily calculate your location, as Leviathans can sense each other..."

"Wait... they can do what?! You’re just telling me this now?!" Lin Yi roared.

"Hm? Oh... Didn’t I mention this? Hehehe... I must’ve forgotten..."

"You can forget anything! But can we kill that creature or not?!"

"Uh, can..."

"How?"

"It feeds on the Ark. If you destroy the Ark, this creature will die too, but...

I’ve heard of some Arks returning from missions with their Leviathans heavily injured though I’m not sure how these creatures got hurt. I guess it was with something like a Space-Time Harpoon."

"Got it, I’ll give it a try."

...
