As Leng Fengyang drew closer to the monster, the outline of the ice fissure became increasingly clear in his eyes. He seized the moment, suddenly accelerating and executing a roll to deftly maneuver around the monster's side. At the same time, he shouted, "Lao Luo, increase firepower!"
Luo Shanhe responded immediately, unleashing a torrent of bullets that rained down like a storm, forcing the monster to turn and confront this unexpected assault. In that split second, Leng Fengyang saw his chance. He leaped forward, gripping the bloodied rebar with all his strength and thrusting it into the monster's soft yet resilient flesh, eliciting a roar of agony from it.
Taking advantage of the monster's momentary distraction from pain, Leng Fengyang wasted no time in withdrawing the rebar. Using the momentum, he pushed off a nearby wooden wreckage and propelled himself like an arrow into the ice fissure. The monster roared in pursuit but was ultimately a step too late.
Leng Fengyang's figure vanished like a wraith into the narrow crevice deep within the glacier, disappearing from sight. Moments later, a deafening rumble echoed through the air, as if nature itself was unleashing its deepest fury. The entire ice surface shattered under this irresistible force, and the fissure opened wide like a greedy maw, mercilessly swallowing the monster's massive form until it completely disappeared into the endless darkness and cold.
With this sudden turn of events, the once-stable research vessel also suffered a chain reaction. Losing its balance without the support of the ice layer, it began to teeter precariously, emitting spine-chilling creaks. In a heavier roar, the research vessel splintered apart, debris and wreckage rising and falling with the waves before gradually sinking into the deep waters, leaving behind only a trail of bubbles slowly ascending to the surface.
"A-Feng!"
Seeing this, Luo Shanhe rushed forward but found no trace of Leng Fengyang. Meanwhile, A Yan arrived in haste, her heart racing as she cried out Leng Fengyang's name in anguish.
Amidst their despair and unease, A Yan and Luo Shanhe exchanged glances, both eyes reflecting disbelief and profound sorrow. The glacier's fissure slowly closed as if it had swallowed a whole being, quietly erasing Leng Fengyang from their world.
The biting cold wind blew away their tears but could not disperse the heaviness in their hearts.
"A-Feng... is he really gone?"
A Yan's voice trembled, nearly drowned out by the wind; her eyes were swollen with tears that fell uncontrollably once more. Her heart felt excruciatingly painful—a piercing ache that came from losing someone dear made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
"No, we cannot give up hope! A-Feng must be alive!"
Luo Shanhe gritted his teeth and clenched his fists; his words were meant to encourage A Yan while also serving as self-comfort. Yet he could not hide his own sorrow as he turned to search desperately for any sign of a miracle.
Just then, a faint glimmer emerged from beneath the snow at the edge of the fissure, catching Luo Shanhe's attention.
He hurried forward, gently brushing aside the snow, revealing a familiar rebar that had become Leng Fengyang's constant companion in the cold.
"A Yan! Come here!" Luo Shanhe shouted excitedly. A Yan rushed over, and together they cleared the snow around the rebar, uncovering Leng Fengyang's pale, blood-stained face, as white as paper.
What was even more moving was the bag of plasma he clutched tightly, seemingly telling a story of perseverance and sacrifice. He was still alive!
Tears welled up in A Yan's eyes once again, but this time they were tears of joy. The two quickly pulled Leng Fengyang from the ice and hurried back to the vehicle.
Inside the car, A Yan wrapped her warm floral cotton jacket tightly around Leng Fengyang's cold body, trying to dispel the chill. Looking at his serious injuries and unconscious state, A Yan couldn't hide her heartache as she pounded on him gently. "For a bag of plasma, you risked your life!"
To leave this dangerous place as soon as possible, Luo Shanhe took the wheel while A Yan tended to Leng Fengyang in the back seat. After some time of fleeing and bumping along the road, under A Yan's acupuncture treatment, Leng Fengyang slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing him awake, A Yan's voice trembled with emotion. "You finally woke up; you scared me to death."
Leng Fengyang tried to sit up, but his weakness made it hard for him to support his upper body. The sharp pain in his chest reminded him of the peril he had just faced. He looked around and realized he was lying in the back seat of the car, covered with A Yan's warm floral jacket. A wave of warmth surged from his heart, dispelling the chill around him as he hoarsely asked, "Where are we?"
"We're still on our way to the Dark Side of the Moon," A Yan replied while carefully retrieving a water bottle from a small bag beside her and feeding it to Leng Fengyang.
It was then that Leng Fengyang remembered how he had lured that monster away, determined to protect the precious plasma crucial for developing the Zombie Toxin Vaccine by leaping into that icy, perilous frozen land. He never expected that leap would put him on the brink of death.
"What about the plasma?" Leng Fengyang managed to utter those words with difficulty, his eyes glimmering with anticipation and urgency.
"A-Feng, don’t worry about the plasma for now," Luo Shanhe said earnestly while focusing on driving. "You almost lost your life; do you know how scared A Yan was? How worried she was about you?"
Luo Shanhe wasn't a Grave Hunter and couldn't fully empathize with Leng Fengyang's dedication and spirit of sacrifice for their mission, but he understood the weight behind Leng Fengyang's actions and tried to express his concern in his own way.
"A Yan, help me up. I need to verify if the Plasma is usable right now."
Leng Fengyang, disregarding his own condition, spoke with some difficulty. Yet, he managed to open the System Panel through sheer will, entering the Storage to extract the Zombie Vaccine Blueprint and check the inventory of materials.
【Virus Strain: Fully Collected】
【Cell Culture Medium: Fully Collected】
【Additives: Fully Collected】
【Adjuvants: Fully Collected】
【Stabilizer: Fully Collected】
【Preservative: Fully Collected】
【Preservatives and Buffers: Fully Collected】
Witnessing the final assembly of the required materials for the formula, an indescribable joy surged within Leng Fengyang. He had long forgotten his pain, tears of excitement shimmering in his eyes as he said, "A Yan, Lao Luo, after all our hardships, we have finally gathered all the materials for the Zombie Toxin Vaccine! At this moment, we are one step closer to saving countless lives."
The System Prompt chimed in at just the right moment: 【Detection complete. All required materials for the Zombie Vaccine Blueprint have been collected. Would you like to proceed with the synthesis immediately?】
Without hesitation, Leng Fengyang agreed to the synthesis request.
However, immediately afterward, a stern and clear warning sounded from the system.
【Emergency Warning: The Plasma material has been contaminated. Synthesis operation has been forcibly terminated. All materials submitted are deemed invalid and will be disposed of.】
