Chapter 56: Chapter 53: Breakthrough"Four thousand contribution points, just for a bottle of this? This... this isn’t worth it, Brother Su!" The Ninth Squad base. Looking at the bottle of antiviral serum Su Yu took out, Yang Lie’s lips moved, but he was speechless for a long time. Su Yu and Director Liu’s final trade, not to mention Li Yao and Lei Wu. Even Yang Lie and the others didn’t see clearly. All they knew was that in the end, Su Yu went to the office again with Director Liu. When he came back, Su Yu’s face was filled with a mysterious smile. This made all the members of the Ninth Squad curious, thinking Su Yu had struck some cooperation with Director Liu or received a high-return order. They never expected that the final item Su Yu traded would be this bottle of antiviral serum! "Not worth it? Why not worth it?" Su Yu waved his hand, looking serious. "Uncle Yang, don’t underestimate yourself. If you fall now, our team’s spirit will scatter!" "Scatter? Isn’t Brother Su you still here?" Yang Lie couldn’t help but say. But Su Yu laughed: "I don’t have as much charm as you, Uncle Yang. Without you leading us, everyone would feel unsettled!" "Brother Su is right, Brother Yang, stop being modest!" "Exactly! Contribution points can be earned again, but if we lose you, Brother Yang, where can we find a new captain?" Beside, Li Mao, Zhang Wu, Wang Shan, and Wu Yue, among others from the Ninth Squad, echoed in agreement. Redeeming an antiviral serum for Yang Lie was not a whim of Su Yu but a planned decision. And what Su Yu said about the Ninth Squad being hard to maintain without Yang Lie was not an exaggeration. He had only helped the Ninth Squad a few times. But Yang Lie, over the years, had helped almost every member of the Ninth Squad. It was precisely for this reason that the Ninth Squad could withstand Night Slayer’s repeated targeting until today. If it were left to Su Yu alone. No matter how capable Su Yu was, relying solely on himself, it would be utterly impossible to keep the Ninth Squad united under continuous suppression. Moreover, although Su Yu’s strength was increasing rapidly, he was ultimately still at the two-star intermediate physical level. His spiritual energy might be high, but due to the Battlefield Mechanic’s professional characteristics, the spiritual energy condensed through the Steel Meditation Technique can’t be used directly in combat. In such circumstances. Relying on the ant poison to boost his strength rapidly, now nearing the two-star top level, Yang Lie was an indispensable powerful force. Listening to Su Yu and the sincere words of the team members, Yang Lie felt deeply moved. He took a deep breath, said nothing more, just solemnly received the bottle of antiviral serum, took the syringe, and with Su Yu’s help, completed the serum injection. As the serum was injected. Not long after. "Ah ah ah!!" As the drug took effect. Yang Lie felt his brain, originally agitated under the ant poison’s influence, calmed down. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, in contrast, the removal of this heat, as the serum took effect, triggered a severe rejection reaction in his body. He felt alternately hot and cold, as if countless radiation ants were gnawing at every inch of his skin, seemingly trying to consume his flesh and bones completely! Yet, with his tenacious will and a robust physique already at the advanced two-star level, he bit the bullet and endured. It wasn’t until an hour later, already sweating heavily, that Yang Lie finally withstood until the ant poison was entirely cleared. The strange feeling of illness sweeping his body vanished at this moment. And besides that... "Whew..." Yang Lie exhaled heavily, stood up from the bed under the expectant gaze of Su Yu and others, slightly clenched his fist, and his eyes shone with unprecedented brightness! "Brother Su, and all my brothers... I, Old Yang, have not failed you!" He said. Then he led Su Yu and the others to the training ground, aimed at the specialized training target for testing the strength of the extraordinary of the physical body, and exhaled and shouted. "Boom!" Under the shocked gaze of Su Yu and others. This punch landed, directly hitting the target back three posts! "Three-star..." "Three-star level strength of the physical body!?" Looking at the third post, although still firm, not entirely knocked back, ultimately skewed by the impact. Even Su Yu couldn’t contain his surprise, exclaiming as he nodded at Yang Lie, with delight apparent in his eyes! Three-star physical-level strength, although not yet enough to face Li He. But to deal with Li He’s sub-commanders, it’s more than sufficient! In this light. "That Radiation Ant Queen that poisoned Uncle Yang wasn’t his bane but can be considered a blessing for you!" Su Yu couldn’t help but joke. And Yang Lie also couldn’t help but smile, feeling his surging strength, amusement evident in his eyes. A little over a month ago, he was merely a hunting captain ranked at the bottom, not even reaching two-star. But now, with his strength, looking around the nine remaining hunting teams in the Sanctuary. With a three-star physical level, he absolutely could rank among the top! "However... the Night Slayer Team still can’t be underestimated!" Taking a deep breath, calming his inner joy. Yang Lie’s expression turned serious, solemnly saying. Su Yu also nodded slightly. This time they went to the management office to submit an order, and apart from earning some contribution points, they also conveniently gathered some intelligence about the outside world. While Su Yu was repairing and crafting various equipment at the base, on the other side, the Night Slayer Team’s expansion activity hadn’t stopped and was steadily progressing also. In just a few days, another team was swallowed up by them. "I really wonder why the Night Slayer Team is merging with so many teams. Do they have too many contribution points to spend?" Feeling the pressure from the Night Slayer Team. Members of the Ninth Squad were all worried. Zhang Wu couldn’t help but vent his frustration. The Night Slayer Team absorbed numerous hunting teams, integrating their members. But these members, to put it bluntly. They might not necessarily generate enough contribution points for the Night Slayer Team to offset the cost of keeping them in the Sanctuary! "Surely it’s not because Li He suddenly developed a kind heart and wants to select suitable members from those newly joined to teach his meditation technique and cultivate students?" Zhang Wu ridiculed, and Li Mao joined in, half-jokingly. "Teaching a meditation technique? Cultivating students? Li He’s character, how’s that possible?" Yang Lie was amused by Li Mao’s comment and waved his hand repeatedly. However, Su Yu, who had remained silent, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes when Li Mao’s words fell! "No, that’s not right!" "Brother Li Mao might really have guessed something similar this time!" "Huh?"
