Chapter 80

Lin Chen and A Kai collapsed on the ground, their faces getting whiter and whiter, their bodies twitching non-stop,

with a small amount of white foam overflowing from their mouths. Dawn Squad members gathered around, Zhao Qiang squatted down and felt Lin Chen's pulse,

shouting anxiously: "The pulse is getting weaker! What do we do? Sister Xia Nuan, what's going on with this chicken soup?"

Xia Nuan was shaking all over, tears falling uncontrollably,

"I don't know... the mushrooms were given by the system,

I washed them clean before putting them in... how could there be poison..."

She squatted beside Lin Chen, her voice choked with sobs, trying to perform first aid on Lin Chen in a panic, but didn't know where to start at all.

Lin Chen's vision gradually went black,

his consciousness beginning to blur, when the system's prompt flickered in his mind: 【Detected that the poison in the host's body is the deadly poison of the "Nether Poison Mushroom," no antidote, the system's current permissions cannot save the host, it is recommended that the host prepare.】

"Cannot save..." Lin Chen's heart sank,

falling into complete despair, he could even feel his life slipping away bit by bit. A Kai lay beside him,

his breathing also getting weaker, saying intermittently: "Brother Lin Chen... I... I don't want to die yet..."

Just as Lin Chen was about to lose consciousness, a golden light suddenly flashed before his eyes,

instantly drilling into his body. He felt a warm current surge through his whole body, the sharp pain in his stomach disappeared,

and his originally pale face gradually returned to a ruddy color. Lin Chen sat up abruptly, panting heavily,

unable to believe he was looking at his own hands—he was actually fine!

【Detected that the poison in the host's body has been cleared by unknown energy, vital signs have returned to normal; the source of this energy is unknown, the system cannot answer.】 The system's prompt popped up,

and Lin Chen hurriedly looked at A Kai and the Dawn Squad members, asking anxiously: "System!

Can you use the energy just now to save them? Hurry and save A Kai!"

【Unknown energy only acts on the host alone, the system currently cannot replicate this energy, and there are no other detoxification methods, unable to save A Kai and Dawn Squad members.】 The system's answer was like a bucket of cold water poured on Lin Chen.

He watched A Kai's breathing getting weaker, and Zhao Qiang, Li Na, and others also collapsed on the ground one after another,

their bodies gradually losing temperature, his heart full of helplessness.

"Is there no other way?"

Lin Chen shouted at the system, his voice full of tears. 【The "Ice Seal Factor" unlocked by the host has resurrection ability, but it needs to reach the "Fully Awakened" stage to be used, the host has only awakened 70%, unable to activate this ability.】 The system prompted.

Lin Chen sat on the ground in despair, only able to watch the Dawn Squad members lose their lives one by one.

A Kai looked at Lin Chen, his lips moving, seemingly wanting to say something, finally closing his eyes slowly, his hand hanging down powerlessly.

Just then, another light suddenly rushed in, landing on A Kai. A Kai's body moved gently, opening his eyes abruptly,

panting heavily: "I... I didn't die?" Lin Chen was both surprised and happy, just wanting to speak, when he saw the bodies of the Dawn Squad members suddenly emitting a faint light,

then their bodies gradually becoming transparent, floating toward the sky like smoke, finally disappearing completely, not even leaving a stain of blood.

"They... where did they go?" A Kai was stunned, his face full of shock.

Xia Nuan looked at the empty living room, squatting on the ground in self-reproach, saying non-stop: "It's all my fault... it's all my fault for stewing poisonous chicken soup, if only I hadn't asked for mushrooms..."

Lin Chen walked over, patted Xia Nuan on the shoulder, and said calmly: "It's fine, they're dead, so what. Anyway, it's normal for people to die in the apocalypse, we have more important things to do, we have to stop He Shao's Ice Seal Plan."

"Brother Lin Chen! How can you say that?" A Kai suddenly stood up,

looking at Lin Chen excitedly, "The people of the Dawn Squad all came to help us,

how can you not care about their deaths at all?"

"So what if I don't care?" Lin Chen frowned, "What's the use of saying this now?

They are already dead, can they come back to life?" A Kai was shaking with anger,

punching Lin Chen in the face: "You bastard!" Lin Chen was also angry, raising his hand and punching back, the two instantly wrestling together.

They fought from the living room to the door, punching and kicking each other, both of them bruised. After fighting for half an hour,

both of them lay on the ground, panting heavily. A Kai looked at Lin Chen,

saying softly: "Sorry, Brother Lin Chen, I shouldn't have made a move." Lin Chen also shook his head: "I was wrong too, shouldn't have said that kind of thing, I'm also very sad about their deaths."

Just then, the system's prompt suddenly popped up: 【Host is indifferent to the lives of companions, violating the system's core principles, will suspend providing any help from now on, until the host recognizes their own mistakes, only then can service be restored.】

"Suspend help?" Lin Chen sneered, saying to the system: "Do I need your help?

You useless thing! You gave me poisonous mushrooms at the beginning, harming so many people, and now you have the nerve to say suspend help?"

The system didn't respond again, and the prompt interface disappeared. Lin Chen sat up, looking at the wind and snow getting bigger and bigger outside,

secretly resolving in his heart: Even without the system's help, he would find He Shao,

and stop the Ice Seal Plan. But he didn't notice, a strange look flashed in A Kai's eyes, seemingly thinking about something.
