Chapter 163: Purify [Setting Overhaul]

Lin Yifan looked at the familiar disaster mission and suddenly felt a breath of relief!

You should know, the reason he has been trying to protect more Survivors during this period is not because he's a saint!

It's because the survival mission needs more people to stay alive!

Lin Yifan finds the mission rewards for the disaster task extremely tempting!

As long as he can obtain that reward, his strength will jump a huge notch, and such temptation Lin Yifan simply cannot refuse!

However, this Heavy Rain Disaster now has a corrosive quality, which will raise the Survivors' difficulty of staying alive by countless times!

Therefore, trying to replicate the brilliance of the previous disaster mission in this one is simply too difficult!

And now, not to mention helping others, Lin Yifan can barely keep himself safe!

After all, this Heavy Rain Disaster can destroy his Shelter; without a Shelter, he'd be dead!

"No, I must take the initiative!" Lin Yifan gritted his teeth, flung the window open, and raised the Source of Ten Thousand Waters toward the stormy night sky.

He no longer wants to think about all that.

Whether the Source of Ten Thousand Waters gets polluted or not, he just wants to survive!

Moreover, the gray‑white mist inside the Source of Ten Thousand Waters is diminishing, as if being Purified, so even if it absorbs more gray matter, it can be gradually dealt with!

At most, it just takes a little longer!

At that moment, Lin Yifan suddenly noticed a new change appearing on the information of the Source of Ten Thousand Waters!

Source of Ten Thousand Waters

Function: control water, Purify water!

This is a precious droplet of the Source of Ten Thousand Waters; it can become a torrential flood that drowns everything, and can also absorb all water sources in the world, making it both the source of life and the source of water disasters.

What is going on?

Lin Yifan stared in astonishment at the changing information on the Source of Ten Thousand Waters, full of confusion!

He remembered clearly that this thing previously had no Purify ability!

How did it appear all of a sudden?

Could it be that this thing can even mutate on its own?

Anyway, since it's already like this, there's nothing to hesitate about!

Lin Yifan's arm just reached out the window when the raging rain, like countless tiny needles, pierced his skin, icy and bone‑chilling.

The gray‑white polluted filaments twisted wildly in the rain, as if smelling prey, swarming toward the Source of Ten Thousand Waters!

The droplet‑shaped Source of Ten Thousand Waters suddenly burst with dazzling blue light, like a tiny star spinning in Lin Yifan's palm.

The gray‑white filaments, upon touching the light, emitted a sizzling sound and were abruptly vaporized into thin black smoke!

"Effective!" Lin Yifan hadn't even had time to rejoice when the whole sky suddenly trembled.

From deep within the cloud layer came a muffled, thunderous roar; the Heavy Rain Disaster intensified instantly, and pea‑sized raindrops swelled into fist‑sized water balls, each containing gray‑white pollutants as thick as earthworms!

【Warning! Targeted counterattack from the Gray Mist Will detected!】

A crimson system prompt flashed, and Lin Yifan's eardrums were suddenly filled with an ancient whisper.

The voice sounded like the garbled mutterings of millions, also like the screech of rusted iron; his temples throbbed wildly, and warm fluid welled up in his nose.

He vaguely sensed that if he kept refusing the contamination, his life would be in grave danger this time!

"Want to pollute me? Dream on!" Lin Yifan wiped his nosebleed, hurled the Source of Ten Thousand Waters into the air, "Have a good serving!"

The blue droplet hovered in the Heavy Rain Disaster, turning into a tiny vortex.

All rain within a hundred‑meter radius was spirally drawn in; the gray‑white pollutants coalesced in the vortex into a vague giant face, whose gaping maw sprouted countless filamentous tentacles that thrust fiercely toward the vortex's core!

Just as the polluted tentacles were about to pierce, Lin Yifan's fortune smiled, and he suddenly pulled three Qingling Fruits from his backpack and hurled them.

The crystal‑clear fruits burst in midair, and the pure pale‑green mist collided with the gray‑white tentacles, emitting a crisp sound like shattering glass.

Panting heavily, Lin Yifan caught the falling Source of Ten Thousand Waters and found its interior filled with gray‑white filaments, as if it were a droplet of murky emulsion.

Even for a second, Lin Yifan felt dizzy and nauseous!

Moreover, a ring of silver pattern appeared around the droplet's edge, and the system popped up a new prompt:

Source of Ten Thousand Waters (Pollution Purify 10%)

Continue Purify to expand the evolution range, proceed?

Lin Yifan saw the message, blinked in slight surprise, then realized the Heavy Rain Disaster here had already stopped!

Even the water on the ground had vanished completely!

The mist still lingered, but had returned to clean white!

That eerie whisper had also vanished!

If it weren't for the Shelter's loss of a few tenths of durability, Lin Yifan would almost suspect that everything that just happened was his imagination!

However, since the Source of Ten Thousand Waters can indeed eradicate the Heavy Rain Disaster and let more people survive!

Then Lin Yifan naturally wouldn't miss this chance; he still has his eyes on the disaster mission reward!

So he chose without hesitation: Continue Purify!

At this point, the Source of Ten Thousand Waters had risen into mid‑air; Lin Yifan could only vaguely see a gray‑white cloud forming a vortex, constantly being drawn in.

But the rest was indistinct!

Thus Lin Yifan opened the chat channel, where the atmosphere was filled with lamentations.

"What the heck! What's going on? Why did my Shelter suddenly show a durability loss?"

"Don't even mention it! The Heavy Rain Disaster keeps getting worse, my Shelter is half submerged, its durability is dropping faster, plummeting to 50% like a cliff jump; at most another hour and I think it'll go offline together with my Shelter!"

"Sigh! If it goes offline, let it! I'm already giving up! My Shelter hasn't even reached Tier 3, it can't hold back the flood, its durability is already at 80%, I guess I have about ten minutes left!"

"Huh? The rain here seems to have stopped! What's happening? Isn't this supposed to be a disaster? Why did the rain stop suddenly?"

"Actually, don't say it— the rain here has also stopped..."

……

Lin Yifan looked at the group's chat records, saw the two latest messages, and finally breathed a sigh of relief!

He knew from the start that the Heavy Rain Disaster was not the same as the mosquito swarm disaster; the Heavy Rain Disaster's damage was far more terrifying.

So, when he obtained the 【Source of Ten Thousand Waters】, he had already decided to use this thing to let more people in the District survive.

Before, he always thought that the 【Source of Ten Thousand Waters】 was used to draw out the Water Source.

He didn't expect that, even though it was still extracting the Water Source, the difference was this great!
