Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields-Chapter 386 - 369: Gaining the Ark

Rein felt a small, light object land on her chest.

Enduring the pain and tears, she struggled to pick it up.

She bit off the plastic cover with her teeth and injected herself with the medicine.

A warm current spread from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. The pain gradually subsided, and she began to regain her strength.

"Good job, now a bottle of Magic Potion will drop onto you, drink it." Lin Yi could feel her condition improving, and his emotions began to calm down.

"I drank it, but it only restored 5 Magic Power." Rein's voice became more energetic and confident.

The boss is here, everything will be alright! she thought, suddenly feeling much better.

She wouldn't die; Lin Yi would save her.

"Boss?" Rein asked.

She could hear someone groaning gently above.

"Don't worry, you'll be rescued shortly."

"I have a flashlight on me!"

"Wait..." Lin Yi didn't have time to stop her before a flashlight appeared in Rein's hand.

She immediately regretted it... when she saw Lin Yi's face, she even cried out in shock.

His jaw was dislocated, covered in blood, the melted metal from his helmet stuck to his skull, and all his hair was gone.

Lin Yi looked utterly devastated.

"Put my jaw back in place."

"Uh... okay..." The girl, with tears in her eyes, reached out to touch Lin Yi's face, her hands trembling.

"Yes, right there. Now push."

With a "click," Lin Yi's jaw was repositioned, and his Regeneration Skills began repairing all the damage.

"Thank you." Lin Yi sighed in relief, "How much Magic Power do you have left?"

"8 points."

"Then put your clothes on, I'll close my eyes first."

"Clothes? Ah!"

Only then did Rein realize she was staring up at the man shielding her from the rubble with his body.

She hadn't even realized she was naked.

But soon, Rein's mind began to work again.

I have to hurry and get dressed! Or... should I let him see? I hope he remembers me; maybe my naked body can leave a deep impression in his mind...

Wait, no! That would distract him! I would only harm him!

Rein shrouded herself in darkness, and her Level 4 Armor appeared again.

"Now do me a favor and put this radio on me." Lin Yi spat out an earpiece and then a micro radio.

Rein quickly put the earpiece on his ear and adjusted the radio to the correct frequency.

"Solomon, why haven't you dug us out yet?" the boss asked angrily.

"Boss! We're digging towards you, but there's a large piece of ceiling above you. I told you we should have tested that bomb first! And why didn't you continue flying according to plan?!"

"Don't mention it; any casualties?"

"Nothing that can't be fixed."

"Great. We're fine for now." Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief; the bomb's power was indeed greater than they expected.

"We should be able to move some stones off you in about a minute. You'll feel a bit better then."

"What about that monster? Did you take it down?"

"No, but it ran out of Magic Power, and we burned it along with its remaining wreckage."

"Understood, keep me updated." Lin Yi ended the call.

Looking at the girl lying beneath him, he smiled.

"Everything's fine up there. They'll dig us out soon, need to wait patiently."

"I'll help." Rein said.

She placed her feet against the stone slab Lin Yi was supporting with his back and began to push hard.

Her final posture was somewhat ambiguous, but Lin Yi had other concerns at the moment; he could feel the weight on his arms lessening.

"How's your horse doing?"

"Magic Power is too low... in hibernation... it's completely exhausted..."

"I know you're tired. Relax."

"But..."

"Listen to me."

"Okay..." Rein lay down again.

Her legs were fatigued, feeling like two immensely heavy logs.

"Oh... I just remembered there's a Magic Storage Device, try this." Lin Yi produced a pendant with a thumb-sized blue crystal from his mouth.

"Great! It's enough!" Rein exclaimed joyfully, hugging Lin Yi, which noticeably increased the weight pressing on him.

But before he could start blaming her, Rein turned into black mist.

Lin Yi suddenly couldn't feel his body, only feeling a chill.

Beside him appeared a glowing female silhouette.

The woman held his hand, seemingly floated up, and then... with a bang!

He was back in the real world, lying on a heap of debris, with Rein right beside him.

"I didn't even know you had this skill."

"Neither did I." Rein tried to smile, then saw the boss beside her curiously staring at her.

"I also didn't know... you have blue eyes." Lin Yi said in surprise.

"Do I?" Rein looked puzzled, producing a small mirror, looking at her face, at her eyes, then... started crying.

Ah... women's minds are always so complicated...

"Father!" Kaya and her siblings shouted as they flew to Lin Yi's side.

"I'm fine, go help the others."

"Okay, Father!" the Insect Men said in unison, then flew in different directions to help others clear the debris.

Rein cried for a long time, so Lin Yi had to stay with her, all the while directing people through the radio.

Eventually, they activated an outpost,

a clever person suggested moving it underground, and it worked!

After that, everything became much easier.

They directly transported all the stones and other debris into the pit and sent the Chimera's corpse to Siri.

And Rein was sent to the hospital.

After gaining freedom, the boss started scolding everyone for the mess they made of the operation, but soon calmed down.

Meanwhile, the army had already descended into the lower layers of the underground catacombs, busy clearing it out.

Not long after.

Lin Yi received a system message:

[Alert!]

The Ark of the Seventh Corps of Argon has been completely annihilated and defeated.

The Ark of the losers is now completely under your control.

Since the Ark is now a territory of the Shelter, teleportation and other related functions have been activated, making everything a piece of cake.

The outpost was sent back to the warehouse, Lin Yi snapped his fingers and teleported away the bodies of his enemies, and the wounded soldiers were sent directly to the hospital.

Then came the most exciting part.

Looting!

Actually, it was just organizing the loot because everything on the Ark now belonged to him.

[Balance of the Ark: 0]

"Damn!" Lin Yi roared, "Did you spend every last penny on that stupid transformation?!"

Fortunately, there were still plenty of loots to be had, and some of them were quite decent.

The most valuable items were a green cube-shaped Level 1 Harpoon, a Space-Time Sail, and a black cube-shaped Level 3 Beacon.

The soldiers also found 600 slaves, although there were originally 5000 that morning...

According to the people they rescued, the rest had been used as food and parts for the Chimeras.

The surviving former slaves were sent to the Shelter for questioning, medical examination, and the opportunity to sign a contract with Lin Yi.

They also found an armory, a food warehouse, some useful materials, and more, including two original Skill Books.

These books were placed in ornately decorated handmade jewelry boxes, indicating they were quite valuable.

All original skills are extremely rare.

But that didn't mean Lin Yi was in a hurry to sell these Skill Books of his.

The first book was titled "Extreme Intelligence," which could increase the Magic Attribute by 10 points.

Considering the effects on a person's body of other skills starting with "Extreme," Lin Yi felt sorry for anyone who learned this particular skill.

Nevertheless, he firmly believed that combining it with "Extreme Constitution" would lead to something interesting.

But before he figured it out, he needed to analyze the book because it was unique.

And he had at least two weeks of other skills analysis work to do before he could analyze it.

The next book was a transformation skill named "Belin."

What is Belin and what can it do? No one knows.

It is a Rare Skill, but unless there are no better options, no one is likely to want to learn it.

After finding the Skill Books, the soldiers discovered the main armory of the Chimeras.

It was filled with stuff, including weapons and armors used by various races, from dwarfs to gear for 15-meter tall Giants.

But to Lin Yi, these were only metals he could reforge into steel, 3.5 tons of it...

That day was lucky for Azarus, they found a warehouse filled with potion materials.

Mizar Altus had little patience for Alchemists, but he still brewed some potions.

The professor analyzed all the materials to extract their main elements and find similar substances for use.

The items they found also greatly reduced the cost of Stat Reset Potions, from 2100 Coins to 1400 Coins.

The soldiers also found some potions as the Shelter's potions were nearly exhausted.

Including 400 bottles of Healing Potions and 350 bottles of Magic Potions, and 300 bottles of other types of potions, most of which enhance the Magic Attribute.

Basically, that was everything.

The Chimera Science Lab had been completely destroyed, the library burned down, the workshop held no value...

There was also a torture chamber, but Lin Yi recycled it into materials.

Overall, vampire imagination didn't compare to humans', certainly not in the ways of torture.

When it comes to coming up with ingenious ways to torment, no one beats humans.

After handling the Ark affairs, Lin Yi teleported to his laptop and configured the Ark as a second-level sub-region of the Shelter.

"Manny, do you copy?"

"What's up, boss?" The veteran guide never takes off his radio and headset, not even when sleeping or showering.

"Tell those Americans I'm ready to sell them an Ark. The small one. Go and haggle with them, you know how much we need."

"Leave it to me!" Immanuel rubbed his hands excitedly at the thought of bargaining.

He prepared to give the allies a hard bargain.

"That's settled." Lin Yi focused his vision on checking Rein's situation.

She was undergoing treatment inside a stone coffin, and she wasn't the only patient.

As usual, the hospital was crowded with half-dead soldiers.

They were severely understaffed, especially those possessing the "Doctor" skill.

However, they found some refugees who had previous medical work experience.

After handling everything, he teleported home.
