The air reeked of char, blood, and ash. Ali’s short crossbow steadily harvested elite monsters approaching them; each azure arrow struck, and a twisted creature fell. Lingna hid behind her, face pale as paper, yet her light crossbow occasionally fired a shot—imprecise, but still disruptive amid the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo hesitated to throw his last molotov. This was his final card; it must be used at the critical moment. He watched the battlefield anxiously. The fire wall’s power was weakening; the oil was nearly spent. Though the ash belt formed by burning thorns remained hot, its ability to block the thick-skinned giants was diminishing rapidly. A beast resembling a plated rhinoceros, flames still burning on its hide, let out a pained roar as it furiously rammed its massive horns against a section of the fire wall on the verge of extinction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom! Boom!” Each impact shook the ground, sending ash flying! That section of the fire wall trembled, on the brink of collapse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A breach was about to open! Once this “tank” broke through, the rest of the beast surge would flood in like a dam bursting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lingna! The bottle!” Lin Mo growled, handing her the last Molotov to light. He raised his shotgun, now with only two bullets left, aiming at the rhino-beast’s relatively vulnerable eyes! He had to kill or cripple it before it shattered the wall! [9] “Damn!” Lin Mo cursed under his breath, fingers tightening on the shotgun’s trigger. Just as he prepared to fire—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingna trembled as she lit the rag; flames surged. She stared at the raging giant, fear in her eyes—but gathering courage, she hurled the bottle with all her strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bottle arced through the air… and missed! It smashed against the ground beside the rhino-beast! “Boom!” Flames splashed, scorching its hind leg and making it even more frenzied—but failed to stop its charge against the wall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn!” Lin Mo cursed under his breath, fingers tightening on the shotgun’s trigger. Just as he prepared to fire—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh—!” A single azure crossbow bolt shot like lightning, piercing with perfect precision into the soft throat exposed as the rhino-beast reared its head to ram!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pthsh!” The arrow sank deep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaoooh—!” The rhino-beast let out a deafening, agonized scream—its ramming motion halted instantly. It thrashed its head wildly, blood gushing from its throat like a fountain. It was Ali! Amid the chaos, she had seized the fleeting, lethal opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rhino-beast’s massive body swayed, then crashed heavily to the ground, blocking the breach about to open. The following beast surge was temporarily halted by the fallen giant and the still-hot ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crisis was temporarily averted! But Lin Mo knew it was only temporary. The fire wall would soon die out; the beast surge’s frenzy had not ceased. And on the western ridge, the cold gaze of the sniper rifle still coiled around his heart like a venomous snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Water… almost gone…” Lingna’s voice came, trembling with tears. She pointed to the metal barrel inside the shelter. To sustain the fire wall, clean water had been consumed in massive quantities; only a thin layer remained at the bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water! The source of life! Without water, the fire wall could not be maintained, and they would soon dehydrate and lose combat capability. Despair returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lingna’s gaze accidentally swept over a broken bowl in the corner of the shelter. She let out a soft “huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the bowl, the two mysterious seedlings—until now withered, leaves drooping—had, amid the searing heat of surrounding flames and thick radiation dust, their tender tips… slightly twitched? Barely perceptible, but the edges of their wilted leaves seemed to glow with an extremely faint purple aura?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingna felt something stir within her. She looked from the shallow, murky puddle at the bottom of the barrel to the seedlings. A bold idea surfaced. She picked up the bowl, walked carefully to the metal barrel, poured out the last drops of water inside, then scooped a small spoonful of murky puddle water and poured it into the bowl—just enough to cover the seedlings’ roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A miracle occurred!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murky water, the instant it touched the seedlings’ roots, saw its impurities and faint radiation dust… visibly diminish? The water seemed filtered, its color growing clearer. And the two withered seedlings—their leaf veins—faintly, faintly… glowed a shade brighter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingna’s eyes widened, unable to believe what she saw! She quickly scooped another spoonful of muddy water and poured it in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same phenomenon occurred again! The water in the bowl grew noticeably clearer; the seedlings’ leaves seemed… slightly revived?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Lin Mo! Sister Ali! Look!” Lingna cried out excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo and Ali turned, saw the scene in the bowl, and their eyes blazed with disbelief!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purification?! These two mysterious seedlings could purify radiation-contaminated wastewater?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s heart pounded. He immediately ordered Lingna to continue testing. They filled every container they could find with murky puddle water, then carefully submerged the seedlings’ roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A miraculous scene unfolded! Though slow, the water in each container gradually grew clearer under the seedlings’ “filtration.” The nauseating odor of radiation dust weakened. And when the purified water was used to irrigate them, the seedlings’ leaves slowly unfurled—visible even to the naked eye! Their purple veins glowed faintly once more; though still weak, they were no longer the lifeless, dying state they had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clean water! A continuous supply of clean water! The lifeline of Hope Outpost had been sustained—in this most unexpected way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo and Lingna rejoiced wildly! Even Ali’s cold eyes filled with awe! The value of these mysterious seedlings far exceeded imagination!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo immediately organized Lingna to use the seedlings’ purification ability to begin small-scale “production” of relatively clean water—for sustaining the dying fire wall, and more importantly, ensuring their own drinking supply!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hope, in the depths of despair, had been reignited—in the most unimaginable way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they did not notice that, on the eastern edge of the puddle, atop a tall, utterly hidden, abandoned water tower far from the beast surge’s clamor, a figure clad in dark gray tactical gear, wearing a high-tech multifunctional visor, lay perfectly still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visor’s lens captured in crystal clarity Lingna’s entire process of purifying wastewater with the seedlings—and the faint purple glow on the seedlings’ leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the visor, eyes burned with fanatic greed. A low, modulated voice crackled through a micro-communicator:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Target confirmed… ‘Life Purification’ phenomenon… Rating: B+… Sample viability stable… ‘Garden’ Project… Key puzzle piece… Capture priority… elevated to maximum…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark shadow slipped soundlessly from the tower like a gecko dissolving into shadow, vanishing into the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>",1114,"2026-06-21T00:09:53.357Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","93f7be50f3b9fa905402c73353024a182863944412c233d5cb341f6b45f8ddfc","lord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-chapter-21","lord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-chapter-19",247,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-cover.jpg"]
