Chapter 107: Chapter 85: You’re Awake

"Hello? Are you there?"

Zhou Yuan called out towards the crow-shaped mark on his hand but got no response.

The mark gradually faded until it completely disappeared.

He scratched the back of his head, wondering how he had become a chosen one so muddle-headedly...

Looks like he’ll have to visit the Holy Crow Church after this is over.

Zhou Yuan collected his thoughts and quickly walked over to Yan Sheng’s corpse. Crimson blood flowed from the shattered skull, pooling on the ground and spreading in all directions.

His skull was blown open, and he had lost the power of a chosen one. There was no way Yan Sheng could survive this; he was thoroughly and completely dead now.

Zhou Yuan rummaged around and found a storage ring on the corpse.

After the owner of a storage ring dies, the spirituality recorded on it automatically disappears, making the locked storage ring as accessible as a public toilet.

Zhou Yuan checked it out and found a lot of valuable items inside.

Abnormal Item 143: Golden Bell Cover. Abnormal Item 991: Soul Summoning Bell. A few alchemy tools, several jars of pills, some unknown potions, dozens of martial arts techniques, a small amount of firearms, and a bunch of miscellaneous items...

The most valuable items among them were these two positive ability abnormal items without any negative effects, extremely rare objects. If one had to measure their value in money, the unit would only be "billion."

"This is a huge score."

Zhou Yuan happily stored the storage ring away. "Killing and arson put belts of gold around men’s waists," indeed.

[While you were in the middle of a 1v1 showdown with the chosen one, the Control Bureau had already secretly eliminated three disasters. Just now, the fourth disaster was removed.]

Zhou Yuan looked up. The terrifying shadow that had been approaching the real world on the pitch-black dome had disappeared. The apocalyptic lightning and thunder gradually subsided, and everything was returning to calm.

"It has only been about ten minutes, and the Control Bureau’s speed is really fast. They can probably finish in twenty minutes, neatly chopping off the nine disasters," he mused.

Zhou Yuan sighed and, with a thought, stored Yan Sheng’s corpse into his backpack.

[Name: Corpse of the Chosen One]

[Note: The corpse of a chosen one of ■■■■, whose skull was shattered in battle with a strong enemy. Even in death, you can still feel the wild ferocity contained within this body.

Legend has it that there is a "Beast Ranch" outside the real world. The caretaker would give the young of various species to beasts to raise, letting them grow up in endless slaughter to select the true fierce beasts.

This shell modified by divine power is a top-quality bio-weapon material.]

[Price: 5000 Star Coins]

"Hmm... Bio-weapon?"

Zhou Yuan thought for a moment, probably something similar to the "tyrants" in the "Resident Evil" series.

"Yan Sheng’s body has been modified by divine power, and it is indeed an excellent material. But I don’t know the technology of bio-modification..."

"Ancient Gene seems to be an expert in this area; maybe I can ask them about it later."

Zhou Yuan did not sell the corpse, deciding to keep it; it might come in handy later.

"Help... help me... is anyone there..."

As the battlefield quieted down, Zhou Yuan’s strong perception allowed him to hear a faint cry for help coming from the ruins.

"Someone is still alive?"

Zhou Yuan followed the sound and used his muddy shadow to move aside countless rubble pieces, rescuing the person buried underneath.

"Thank you..."

The person, covered in blood, crawled out and took big gulps of fresh air. If it had been any later, he would have suffocated to death.

Zhou Yuan recognized him; it was Shi Sanjin, an extraordinary person who believed in the Goddess of Light, whom he had come into contact with before.

[After the mental hospital was destroyed, the abnormal power applied to everyone disappeared. Some people would regain their former memories, but these long-insane people would not; they had already completely turned into lunatics.]

This mental hospital’s ability was too terrifying... Zhou Yuan shuddered, pondering how many extraordinary people had fallen prey to this place over the years, not to mention countless ordinary people who had been "eaten."

He let Shi Sanjin rest in a safe open space, then released a large number of muddy shadows to infiltrate every corner of the ruins and search for survivors.

As a person with normal moral standards, Zhou Yuan would save people whenever he could.

However, the troublesome part was that, since they were in the inner world, all the people present had supernatural powers. Ordinary people were in the real world, beyond Zhou Yuan’s reach.

A few minutes later, all the surviving people in the inner world who could still breathe gathered in the open space.

A total of twenty-nine people. Some were extraordinary people who had unfortunately fallen into the mental hospital, while others were ordinary people who had awakened Aoneng Power due to the abnormal power of the mental hospital.

The extraordinary people’s superhuman physical qualities allowed them to survive the explosion and collapse.

After everything was done, Zhou Yuan sat down where he was, quietly waiting for the Control Bureau’s removal ritual.

Before long, the system’s notification sounded in his ear.

[Mission "A Grand Flag" has been completed]
