Shelter, Lin Yi’s ho.
Lin Yi has been in a coma for three days.
A tall girl sits by Lin Yi’s bedside, holding his hand and crying.
"Rein, are you crying again?" Chen Youyou sighs wearily as she enters the room.
Rein wipes the tears from her eyes, "Seeing him like this... I just..."
"The professor has already said the boss is fine. His body is just overworking due to the enhancent of his regeneration skills. He’ll wake up soon..."
Chen Youyou is comforting her, and also comforting herself.
Rationally, she knows what she’s saying is true, but she still has to restrain herself from imagining the worst...
"But it’s already been three days!"
"I know, but you better do sothing useful instead of just sitting here. Otherwise, when he wakes up and sees you slacking off, he’ll surely scold you."
"I’ve already leveled up to 10. I am not slacking off," Rein retorts.
In the past three days, the two of them have taken turns caring for Lin Yi, and during that ti, they talked a lot and grew closer.
So Rein felt she could be a little bolder with Chen Youyou.
"I’m sure he’ll be happy to hear that. Everything is fine, I need to get back to work."
"Okay, I’ll take good care of things," Rein says with a forced smile.
"Rein... at least wash your face. If the first thing he sees when he wakes is your tear-streaked face, he might get scared."
Chen Youyou laughs lightly as she closes the door.
Rein imdiately rushes to the mirror, startled by what she sees.
She runs to the bathroom but still peeks out every few minutes. If Lin Yi wakes up and she’s not there, she’ll never forgive herself!
...
anwhile, at the eastern boundary of the shelter, a fierce battle is raging.
Lin Yi and the Siri triplets are systematically wiping out the zombies advancing there.
Over the past few days, whenever zombies erged from the mist, they tirelessly hunted them down.
"To your right, Alyosha!" Kaya floats in the air, shouting.
Alyosha quickly jumps aside, and a streak of lightning hits the mutated one next to him.
Alyosha doesn’t pause for a mont and imdiately starts attacking nearby enemies.
Three punches, and three zombies beco three corpses, each with a large hole in its chest.
Alyosha has learned to cover himself with magma, forming sothing akin to armor.
But that’s not all; he can also use magma to create weapon-like swords, though he prefers using his fists.
The red beetle turns around, raises its left arm, and swiftly swings it down.
Five small magma balls shoot toward the enemy like bullets, instantly taking the lives of five undead creatures.
Suddenly, a spitter erges from the crowd of zombies, launching a huge spike from its body.
Alyosha is about to dodge when an earth wall rises from the ground to protect him, followed by a dozen stone spears piercing into the horde of zombies.
Of course, these stone spears pin the zombies in place, and Kaya flies over, using a lightning strike to annihilate them while also taking down a mutated one.
"I think they’re all dealt with here," Kaya says, floating above the battlefield.
"There must be a moving island nearby. Solomon told us that a large group of zombies erging from the mist at once indicates the presence of a nearby moving island."
"Don’t engage it. Without father here, fighting a moving island would be extrely dangerous," Boria says.
"We can handle it, it’s no big deal!"
"But there might be casualties. If any of his soldiers die, father would be very upset."
"Then we just have to get stronger so that doesn’t happen," Alyosha says, spreading his wings and flying away.

...
Lin Yi is being bombarded with system ssages, but he doesn’t see them because he is in a coma.
If he saw them, he would surely curse out loud.
His level 4 skill is already at work, gathering life force from the surrounding environnt to nourish his exhausted body.
The people taking care of Lin Yi have been feeding him intravenously, but it is far from sufficient to support his forced evolution.
His body begins self-repairing.
All the impurities in his blood are cleared, his irregular breathing returns to normal, and his skin becos pink.
Rein notices these changes but has no intention of sharing this good news with anyone.
Lin Yi slowly opens his eyes and sees Rein.
He silently sits up on the bed, looking around, shaking his head, still dazed.
"Boss! Boss! Boss!" Rein shouts, hugging Lin Yi tightly as they fall onto the bed.
"What the heck... I must’ve passed out or sothing... Let go of , Rein... sigh."
Lin Yi focuses on checking the shelter’s condition, quickly scanning.
Fortunately, everything seems to be in order.
Orianna has expanded the farmland again, and the industrial area shows new buildings.
The soldiers are training at the military base, and the weapon smiths are hard at work.
And the beastn... well, the beastn are snoring loudly.
After seeing all this, the boss opens his eyes in satisfaction. Rein is still mumbling sothing, crying.
"What did I do to deserve these emotions?"
Lin Yi mutters, gently stroking Rein’s head to calm her down.
