Brothers, We've Got a Cheat! (Please Bookmark and Recommend)

"Can Lin Yan do it?"

Bu Xiangyang watched Bu Wenxing's condition worsen by the moment, his heart filled with worry.

Chen Lian walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Didn't the captain say so when we contacted him earlier? He said everything was going smoothly. Don't worry."

Bu Xiangyang gripped Bu Wenxing's hand tightly and nodded. "I hope so."

Chu Wei suddenly laughed. "The Lin Luosu has already been successfully extracted, and they're on their way back. The captain said even the director of the research institute under the Military Science Academy was stunned by Lin Yan."

Bu Xiangyang whipped his head around. "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

"That's good, that's good! Wen Xing can be saved!"

Bu Xiangyang was overjoyed, his heart filled with boundless gratitude. If not for Lin Yan, his little brother would likely have truly been left waiting for death.

Before long, Liu Mingxuan and Lin Yan returned.

Lin Yan took the prepared Lin Luosu reagent from his backpack and handed it to Bu Xiangyang. "Brother Yang, hurry and give it a try!"

Bu Xiangyang also took a syringe from the medical kit in his backpack and drew the reagent into it. Looking at the clear liquid inside the syringe, his hand trembled slightly.

For a warrior, that was something that should never happen.

Yet no one present said anything.

They were brothers, born of the same mother. The Psychological Pressure Bu Xiangyang was under was beyond anyone else's imagination.

Lin Yan asked, "Want me to do it?"

Bu Xiangyang forced a smile and shook his head. "I can do it."

As far as this matter was concerned, he had only learned of the Jade Crown King Snake and Lin Luosu from foreign papers. Only one Jade Crown King Snake had ever been discovered, and he could not be certain that Bu Wenxing had truly been poisoned by one, nor whether Lin Luosu could really save Bu Wenxing, who was hanging by a thread.

He thought that if things did not turn out for the better, he hoped he would be the one to push the medicine into Bu Wenxing's vein in the end.

He should not give himself any reason to blame someone else.

He steadied his emotions, took a deep breath, then focused completely as he slowly injected the Lin Luosu reagent into Bu Wenxing's body before pulling out the needle.

Silently, he prayed in his heart:

Xing, you have to survive!

After being injected with the reagent, the unconscious Bu Wenxing became extremely restless. Pain appeared on his face, and his body twisted unnaturally.

You have to survive! You have to!

"Puh!"

Black blood suddenly spewed from Bu Wenxing's mouth. Fortunately, Bu Xiangyang had been watching over him the whole time and had already lifted him up, gently patting his back.

Bu Wenxing's fingers twitched, and his eyelids fluttered, as though he were using every ounce of strength to break free from this nightmare.

He slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was somewhat unfocused as he weakly called out, "Brother?"

Bu Xiangyang's eyes instantly reddened. He repeated, "I'm here. I'm here..."

Bu Wenxing did not fully wake up. After regaining consciousness, he soon fell into a deep sleep again, but all of his physical indicators were normal, and color gradually returned to his face. After making sure he was settled, Bu Xiangyang stood and walked over to Lin Yan.

He bowed deeply and did not straighten for a long time.

"Lin Yan, thank you..."

"Thank you, everyone..."

His voice carried the torment and unease he had suffered over the past few hours, as well as the joy and relief he now felt.

Lin Yan took his arm and helped him up. "You can't do this."

"We live and die together. That makes us brothers."

"I only did what I could. Everyone is happy that Brother Xing is all right. You're making us seem like strangers instead, and that makes it hard for us to be happy."

Bu Xiangyang stood up and looked at everyone. They were all young; even Jia Yan, the oldest among them, was only twenty-nine. There was no real generation gap between them.

What showed on them was another kind of emotion, one different from blood ties: the trust and care forged on the battlefield, the shared honor and disgrace of having sworn beneath the same blue sky and the same bright red flag.

A powerful feeling surged within him, begging to be released in a shout, but in the end, it became only one word.

Resounding and forceful, it struck the ground like iron.

"Good!"

By evening, Bu Wenxing had finally awakened. He had gone from lying unconscious to his former lively, spirited self.

After listening to Bu Xiangyang recount everything that had happened, he did not bow in thanks like Bu Xiangyang had. Instead, his face was filled with worship as he grandly announced before everyone, "From today onward, Lin Yan is my real big brother! Everyone here can bear witness for me!"

Bu Xiangyang laughed and cursed, "Bu Wenxing, you're twenty-one already, you know that? And you still have the nerve?"

Bu Wenxing had his own crooked logic. "The accomplished come first. That's been our people's principle for thousands of years!"

Lin Yan said with a smile, "Brother Xing, even if you want to acknowledge an eighteen-year-old as your big brother, you might accept it, but my mom definitely won't."

Bu Wenxing put on a sycophantic expression. "Why call me Brother Xing? Just call me Xing. It's more intimate!"

The group had completely forgotten that they were in the Wilderness Area, laughing and chatting in a chaotic mess.

Good thing they had cleaned this house out thoroughly. Otherwise, with all this commotion, forget whether the monsters could sit still—even Ultraman would have been unable to sit still.

A day later.

Since they had asked Chu Wei's father for help, and they were already here anyway, they had no intention of returning on their own. They all trained in the basement.

This mission had indeed been extremely dangerous, but fortunately, they had escaped without disaster. Everyone had gained something from it, and naturally, Lin Yan had gained the most. Before coming here, he was at most as strong as a relatively formidable Advanced Warrior. Now, he felt that he would not be too afraid even if an Intermediate General came at him.

Other than him, Liu Mingxuan had gained the most.

Not only had All Things Severed advanced from the fourth level to the fifth, but more importantly, he had already touched the threshold of an Advanced General.

Lin Yan had specifically asked around. Liu Mingxuan was only twenty-two this year, yet in the military, he was already known as an outstanding talent.

Of course, in everyone's eyes—

When it came to talent, even a twenty-two-year-old High-level General could not compare to Lin Yan, an eighteen-year-old Intermediate Warrior.

It had nothing to do with age or rank.

It depended on the person.

Brothers, we've got a cheat!

Brothers, we've got a cheat, you know?

Other warriors: After passing the Quasi-Warrior assessment and cultivating Gene Energy for a few months, they were still scared shitless when they went to Monster Town to kill H-class Monsters. If their mentality was poor, they might even end up injured or crippled.

Lin Yan: Thanks for the invite. I just passed the Quasi-Warrior assessment, and my superiors sent me to City 032 in the Wilderness Area for a combat assessment. One sword strike, one Beast Soldier. One spear thrust, one Beast General.

This wasn't human!

Yet this eighteen-year-old youth, who had only just become a warrior, brought them far more than shock and astonishment.

He brought faith in the face of hopelessness.

The courage to take risks.

The calm confidence of standing at the peak.

And the responsibility behind those words: "Leave it to me."

For the Bu brothers, for Li Tao, for Chu Wei, for Chen Lian, for Jia Yan, and for Liu Mingxuan, every one of them could feel, time and again, from every word and action, the energy surging within this handsome young man with his gentle smile.

It was the energy that carried the ideals heroes and warriors had sought to fulfill through blood and sacrifice for over forty years—the energy that sought to remake heaven and earth.

He never doubted.

He never shrank back.

He wanted to pierce the darkness that had shrouded humanity for over forty years!
