Chapter 478

"You got it!"

Lin Yang grinned, lifted his foot, and stomped heavily on the ground.

"Boom!"

In an instant, under the influence of gravity, the entire ground began to tremble.

The surrounding buildings looked as if they were being struck by a ten-thousand-ton waterfall, collapsing with a roar.

Dust and smoke filled a five-hundred-meter radius, and the tremors caused by the ground made the people currently locked in fierce battle change their expressions drastically.

"An earthquake?"

"That shouldn't be right. How could such a natural disaster occur in Jinshan City?"

"I remember a while back, the factory area had a building collapse due to an earthquake. That disaster killed hundreds of people!"

"Wait... didn't the news report yesterday say—an earthquake might occur within two days?!"

"Could it be..."

At this moment, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the epicenter in horror.

Within the range covered by 'Gravity', people felt their bodies sink, they collapsed to the ground, and the earth began to crack.

As the apocalyptic scene replayed, Lin Yang, who had inherited Luo San's evolved talent, seemed like a god once he unleashed it, aided by the right time and place.

He walked across this land, and wherever he passed, cracks appeared incessantly.

Seeing this, Xiong Yu's heart tightened, and she shouted, "Fan Rui, how long do you intend to just watch the show?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the 'worms' in everyone's brains vanished without a trace.

The needle-like pain was gone, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the blue sky, and clarity was restored.

Feeling the change in his body, Su Yang pressed the knob directly and injected all the liquid in the syringe into his body at once.

"No wonder you kept dragging your feet and didn't make a move; you really did have someone backing you up."

From the moment Xiong Yu appeared, he had sensed something was wrong.

Yin Yun's hallucinatory actions, including the change in attitude of Su Kang and several Hall Masters.

On the surface, it looked like they were all influenced by a talent, but Su Yang knew deep down that the limitations of a talent couldn't be that small.

For Xiong Yu to influence so many people simultaneously, there must be some kind of restriction.

Now that the pain in his brain had vanished, Su Yang naturally didn't need to hold back anymore.

At the same time, Yin Yun behind him recovered and said, "Lin Yang, release the restrictions on my body!"

"You got it!"

The heaviness in her body vanished, and Yin Yun stood up and looked at Xiong Yu, a flash of anger appearing in her eyes.

Being led by the nose—this feeling was truly unpleasant.

During this time, she hadn't lost consciousness; on the contrary, she had an incredibly deep impression of her own actions.

Recalling the scene where she had questioned Su Yang with such a hateful face, she felt incredibly ashamed and wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Su Yang, about what I said to you..."

"Said what? My head was hurting a bit just now, and I've forgotten a lot of things." Su Yang blinked at her.

Yin Yun was stunned, then revealed a breathtaking smile, "Me too."

The next moment, she looked at Xiong Yu, who was crawling on the ground, and waved her small hand.

Several giant rocks suddenly smashed toward her.

"Bang..."

However, the scene of flesh and blood splattering that she had imagined did not occur; just as the stones were about to land on her head, they were blocked by an invisible wall.

Yin Yun raised her eyebrows and drove various objects to shoot out one after another.

"Clang!"

Even though they were as hard as steel, they still couldn't penetrate this wall.

"'Barrier'?" Yin Yun frowned tightly.

Su Yang took it all in, and he wasn't surprised.

The person behind her must have also injected an Intermediate Omni Recovery Liquid just like him.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to unleash talents one after another in such a short time, ignoring the cooldown period.

"It seems he intends to protect her to the end," Su Yang said flatly.

At this moment, the recovery liquid began to take effect, and an indescribable sense of comfort flowed through his limbs and bones; his whole body felt light, as if he were ascending to immortality.

Even his bones felt soft!

While feeling refreshed, Su Yang clearly felt the changes in his body.

The lingering pain in his brain was gone, and something else had been added.

It was very mysterious, indescribable and unclear.

But one thing was certain: his talent had been enhanced!

'Deception Progress: 64348/261238'

"Not enough, still not enough!" A sharp light flashed in Su Yang's eyes, "Lin Yang, be more ruthless!"

"I've already reached my limit," Lin Yang gritted his teeth, his face showing difficulty.

Soon, Lin Yang's hunched shoulders suddenly relaxed.

It was clear that the talent's duration had ended.

Xiong Yu, feeling her whole body lighten, ordered, "Kill them, leave no one alive!"

Artillery fire roared, and countless bullets rained down like raindrops.

Su Yang was in the center of the crossfire and hurriedly looked for cover to hide.

However, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't be faster than bullets.

"Pfft—"

A bullet suddenly pierced his left abdomen, and a heart-wrenching pain emerged.

Su Yang let out a muffled groan, felt the remaining medicinal liquid in his body, and held Lin Yang's hand, "Help me dig the bullet out."

"Huh?" Lin Yang was stunned.

"Hurry, I still have a chance to recover!"

"Oh, oh."

Lin Yang didn't dare to delay, and just as he was about to act, the wall he was leaning against was suddenly subjected to frantic strafing.

Wall dust fell in showers, and the explosions were deafening.

He subconsciously crouched down, found that the inside of the wall was undamaged, and immediately pulled a small knife from his pant leg.

"Where's the wound?" Lin Yang asked.

Su Yang carefully pulled open his clothes, revealing his blood-soaked abdomen.

"Bear with it, I'll make it quick," Lin Yang said solemnly.

At this time, Yin Yun also squeezed in from the side, and her eyelids jumped when she saw this scene.

"What are you doing?"

"Digging for a bullet."

"Do you know how?"

"I saw in a TV show that the doctor just cuts the wound open and then clamps it out, and that's it," Lin Yang said.

"Absurd!" Yin Yun frowned and snatched the knife, "You find an opportunity to draw fire, I'll do it."

"You can?" Lin Yang looked surprised, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Less talk, Xiong Yu won't give us time for our talents to cool down; this place isn't safe," Yin Yun said, and with a flick of her hand, she cut the wound open and widened it by an inch.

"Hiss!"

Su Yang widened his eyes and couldn't help but gasp.

"Bear with it, it'll be over soon," Yin Yun said earnestly. The small knife in her hand seemed like a nimble elf, and in two or three strokes, the deeply embedded bullet head was visible.

"The bullet isn't deep," Yin Yun spread the wound open with her fingers and used the knife to reach in and pull it out.

The bullet head flew out, and Su Yang felt as if he had crawled out of a bathtub, soaked in cold sweat.

"Phew!" He let out a long breath, his pale face showing the relief of having survived a disaster.

The next moment, granulation tissue grew from the wound at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then it healed.

The remaining recovery liquid was exhausted, and Su Yang felt that the duration of his enhanced talent was running low, creating a sense of urgency in his heart.

Yin Yun asked in confusion, "This little gunshot wound is nothing to you; why spend time dealing with it in this situation?"

Su Yang explained while monitoring his deception progress, "The other player hasn't shown themselves yet; any injury or mistake could potentially become a prerequisite for them to activate their talent."

"I can gamble, but you can't afford to!"
