Chapter 142

Later generations would remember this meeting. In thick history books, they described these types of salvations with thick and colourful strokes that rewrote the history of pharmacy. They honored Jin Shangyu, who invented these drugs, as the 'medicine sage'. The pharmacists of later generations took Jin Shangyu as the highest peak of their goal as they tirelessly explored the world of pharmacy. The young man, who was only 19 years old, dominated the meeting. The hearts of future generations treated him like a god-like being. No matter if the person was an ability user or an ordinary person, their ultimate goal was to exceed that young man. However, it is said that the teenager was a real celestial who only appears once every thousands of years. To surpass his achievements, one had to wait for the next millennium.

Of course, these all happened in the future. Right then, Gong Lixin didn't know that he had done such an earth-shattering event. Seeing that Jin Shangyu had distributed the drugs to the audience, he raised his hand and announced their dismissal.

Tan Mingyuan, who had just stepped in, was called up. Gong Lixin raised his jaw and told him, "Notify a group of people to gather at the training ground. I've a task for them."

"Boss, what's the task?" Tan Mingyuan's eyes lighted up and he hurriedly asked.

"To go to the beach to kill more than a dozen mutant pythons, peel their skin and make armours for everyone. On this long journey, we will experience a lot of hardships on the road and we need to improve our equipment. Skinning, tanning, tailoring, and stitching; all takes time to do. Finish this task today and we'll use the half a month left to make armours for everyone." Gong Lixin replied after making some calculations.

"Alright! I'll immediately inform everyone." Tan Mingyuan promised loudly and went away.

Hearing the conversation between the two, the leaders of the other ability user teams secretly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. Kill a dozen pythons to make armour? This kind of difficult task was something only Young Master Gong could dare take easily. However, listening to Young Master Gong's words, it seemed like everyone was getting new armour? As a result, Young Master Gong's brain-dead fans were deeply moved.

"Gong Lixin, I'll also participate in this task." Dou Heng, who had returned to normal, said firmly.

Gong Lixin smiled at him and nodded without thinking.

Seeing this, Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo walked up to the teenager from left and right and urged him, "Come on, let's go to the training ground together." There was no need to ask if they wanted to participate.

"Ah, wait. I'll go too." Seeing her brother pulling Gong Lixin's clothes, Jin Shangyu raised her hand to call out and chase them.

On the training ground, three people drank the blue potion. The particularly strong Self Defense Force members watched the group of three. From time to time, they squeezed in to touch the three's inflated muscles. Seeing Young Master Gong, Leader Lin, Major General Song, and Dou Heng coming over together, the noise immediately stopped. Everyone unconsciously stood upright and raised their hands in salute.

"Good." Song Haoran nodded.

"Major General Song, when will this potion be delivered to us?" Someone expectantly asked, which was immediately echoed among the people present.

"It will be sent to you in half a month. During the migration, not only will you be responsible for look-out and patrol, you will also fight with the ability users when necessary." Gong Lixin cautiously said.

"That's a matter of course. We'll be half an ability user anyway!" Someone in the group joked, causing a burst of joyful laughter to spread. Once, they were trampled, exploited and despised. They were nothing but eager to become stronger. The emergence of this potion was like their gospel, giving them the power to survive in these apocalyptic days. The strength of a first level ability user may seem low, but all the Self Defense Force members, when united together, were an indestructible force. After rigorous military training, the phrase 'unity is power' had been deeply embedded in their minds.

Infected by the positive atmosphere, Gong Lixin also smiled. Not too long after, the members from Gong Lixin's team received the task and told the members of the Self Defense Force. The members of the Self Defense Force stood up straight again and saluted their team leader, calling out the name of their leader at the same time. It could be seen from their expressions that they truly admired the members of Gong Lixin's team and held them in high regards in their hearts.

Seeing the short stature of Sun Jie among them, Jin Shangyu's eyes twitched. She touched Lin Wenbo's arms next to her and asked, "That child is also Gong Lixin's team member too? Isn't he ten years old?"

"Twelve, but due to lack of nutrition, his height has not increased much." Lin Wenbo's tone held a trace of distress. He finally glanced at Jin Shangyu before faintly adding, "Clear that expression of doubt on your face, his level is higher than yours."

"Higher?" Jin Shangyu stuttered in disbelief. "Fourth level low-grade? Stronger than me? I really can't see it!"

"The younger one triggers their ability, the higher their talent will be. He will be better than the others in the future." Lin Wenbo said firmly. He smiled seeming to remember something. In a pleasant tone, he added, "They like to imitate Xiaoxin, so they usually like to play pigs to eat the tigers. Don't be fooled by their appearance."

As soon as Lin Wenbo's voice fell, he saw Xiao Sunjie looking over at Jin Shangyu. The dark eyes turned into pure, ice blue eyes as he raised them to stare at the stunned Jin Shangyu and grinned. Obviously, he heard the conversation between the two.

Oh my God! Too shocking! Jin Shangyu touched her frightened heart. Her arrogance as a talented girl was completely knocked down. When she recovered from her shock, Gong Lixin had already explained the battle plan and was about to raise his feet to move towards the beach. She hadn't heard a word at all though.

"Ah, wait. I'm joining!" Jin Shangyu gritted her teeth and shouted.

"What's the matter?" Cao Yanan liked this arrogant little sister who likes to gloat. She walked up to her side and pursed her pink lips at her.

Li Dongsheng coughed and pulled Jin Shangyu away from this female sex-devil.

"I'm a wood and mind dual ability user! My mind ability has reached third-level high-grade. I can heal and perform blessings and curses within a ten meter distance. My blessings can increase a person's corresponding ability and my curses can reduce the enemy's combat power. I can also use illusions to confuse enemies and stop their attack." Jin Shangyu stepped forward and quickly exclaimed. She raised her jaw and finally added, "I'm a super milknanny. When you are fighting in the front, this milk mom, will guarantee that you can do whatever you want!"

Jin Shangyu couldn't hold back anymore. She chose to confess her abilities today. With the release of her four drugs, the reveal of her ability to purify zombie poison was ordinary in comparison. Although she already had the precious prescriptions of the drugs in her hands, but she didn't want a free meal, she wanted to get Young Master Gong's approval first, then that of all the people on Long Snake Island. By doing this, she wanted to completely board the ship known as Gong Lixin. With her 240 IQ, she had already determined that following Gong Lixin would definitely lead her to happiness!

The people present showed a moved expression on their faces. This young woman's ability was really good and was simply tailored for their group, completely compensating their group's weaknesses. So, everyone turned their heads together to look at Young Master Gong with burning eyes, waiting for Young Master Gong to speak.

Gong Lixin stared at Jin Shangyu's figure with a strange look in his eyes. He asked with a frown, "Why do we need a nanny when fighting? Even Sun Jie has already been weaned. Are you trying to confuse us?" Gong Lixin had understood what she said and seriously considered it, but after hearing the last part, his brows knotted immediately and all levels of confusion entered his mind.

Gong Lixin's team members stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Lin Wenbo covered his face and chuckled. Song Haoran pulled the innocent and lovable teenager into his arms and rubbed his head, laughing while doing so. With Lixin there, every moment was filled with happiness. Even the cold-faced Dou Heng's mouth was slightly ticked upward.

Jin Shangyu almost bit her tongue and coughed up blood. As soon as his back was to her, she rolled her eyes. Crossing her arm over her chest, she gazed into the young man's confused eyes and asked with a twisted expression, "Gong Lixin, don't tell me you've never played online games!"

"No. Let's go now. I will hear the explanation for this nanny thing later. Let's finish the task first." From everyone's reaction, he knew that she was making a joke. The teenager turned and walked away. The expression on his face was still so bland, but the tip of his ears pink had slowly turned red.

Lixin is still so cute! Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran looked at each other and sighed in unison. They saw the teenager pulling Jin Shanghui with him and they quickly followed with a smile on their face.

The behaviour of this group was always so intense. Twenty or more ability users against hundreds of pythons, only they dared to take this kind of difficult task. But even while knowing that this mission was a difficult one, the people in the base never felt that this group would fail. They are the dream team that has never been defeated.

Before the battle had even begun, the cliff close to the North District were full of people who came to watch. Gong Lixin's team members cooperated with tacit understanding when fighting. Whoever was responsible for defense and whoever was responsible for attack was organized in an orderly manner. While fighting each of them would appear exactly where they should, giving the enemies no opportunity to take advantage of, as if it were a play that they had rehearsed thousands of times before the fight. Their battle was a classic textbook-style battle. Fortunately, the onlookers could benefit from watching this battle.

After waiting in anticipation, the battle had finally begun. Gong Lixin first blocked the water jet sprayed by all the pythons on the beach with a palm of wind. Then, he stepped on the water droplets and swept back the group of pythons. With a single hand, he pushed the giant pythons into the sea, clearing a space for his team members suitable for fighting.

Everyone rushed forward to attack the enemy. Gong Lixin, Jin Shanghui, Lin Wenbo and Wang Tao rushed to the front to deal with the pythons there while the others took killed the ones in the rear. Jin Shangyu's station was the safest and furthest place. From time to time, she casted a few blessings or curses to close the gap in their defenses. When someone was about to be attacked by a python, she would immediately come to the rescue and cast an illusion, confusing the python.

The battle was a sight to behold with all the colourful abilities that bloomed like fireworks on the beach. The dozen or so pythons that had been lying on the beach were quickly surrounded and were completely powerless to resist as they were beaten. Seeing the state of those pythons, the ones in the water quickly came up to the beach trying to help, but they were blocked by the four front-line attackers. Three out of the four of them were still easy to handle, but the slender teenager gave them a harder time. The teenager easily stepped onto the sea, as if it were a flat ground. Whenever he saw a python with the slightest intention of coming up to the beach, he slapped or kicked it away. A giant python's weight of half a ton was thrown away like a volleyball under the teenager's hand. He hit whenever he wants, as if he was playing. The high-pressure water jets and fireballs that were sprayed at him didn't hurt him at all.

Loud hissing sounds lingered in the air as giant pythons were seen flying in the sky before falling into the distant sea, creating waves in the water. Some of them even hit rocks at the bottom of the sea when the fell. After repeating this many times, they saw that the only female python didn't dare go near the beach anymore and found an elevated reef to rest on even as several of her kind were killed.

Thunder, fire, wind, metal, ice, terrifying mutant plants and quicksand suddenly turned the beach into a burial ground, trapping a dozen giant python to face their deaths. When the last python stopped struggling with a last hiss before laying down in the pool of blood, the crowd standing at the top of the cliff and watching the battle released a breath of relief.

Shit! So happy! Being invincible and running wild like that! This was the battle of true master ability users! High-level zombies? Mutant birds? Kill them all! Their blood was boiling with passion. Suddenly, the crowd felt that the things that once scared them became a blur right then as their leader was still the top master on Earth.

Father Gong and Grandfather Lin looked at the straightened spine of the people around them and the determined expression on their faces and both smiled at each other.

"You gave birth to a good son! Without a doubt, Lixin's future achievements are limitless!" Grandpa Lin patted Father Gong's shoulder.

Father Gong waved his hand and looked down the cliff. He saw his son was digging out crystal nuclei from the brains of the giant pythons. His eyes flashed slightly and he shook his head with a smile. He used to think too much. Only in this way, Lixin could live well during these apocalyptic days and lead everyone to a better future.
