Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 785 - 757 Settling In

"Sister, get well soon!"

He Qianqian’s smile was mixed with tears as she sincerely wished.

Lin Tian wished desperately that his little wife would wake up right away. He was very anxious and agitated.

However, he still decided to set off for Malaysia tomorrow, not for any other reason, but because he had not only a wife but also brothers.

In the just-concluded battle, it wasn’t only Bu Mengting who was injured, but also Wang Ying, Jiang Hui, Qin Chi, and dozens of brothers whose names he couldn’t recall, hundreds of soldiers he had never met before, as well as thousands of ordinary and innocent civilians from Wu’an City.

Lin Tian had to make sure they were all well taken care of before he could go to Malaysia in peace to search for the Earth Spirit Flower.

The Dragon Emperor, Wang Yuan, Li Linglong, Fairy Zixia, Huo Shaotian, Jian Cangsheng, and others had already begun post-battle comforting operations.

Fortunately, and very luckily, Qin Chi, Wang Ying, and Jiang Hui, all three of them seriously injured, had taken the healing potion and, though still unconscious, it was only a matter of time before they woke up; their lives were not in danger.

Lin Tian let out a long sigh of relief.

That they were out of mortal peril was a stroke of immense fortune amidst the misfortune.

However, dozens of their Condensing Mirror experts had been killed in action, and the rest were all seriously wounded.

What comforted him was that during this battle, despite the formidable different race, not a single one had escaped.

They were all Lin Tian’s brothers, brothers who shared life and death together.

Afterward, the Dragon Emperor rallied the people of Wu’an City to come out for rescue operations.

In Wu’an City, from the major avenues to the small alleys, bunkers were everywhere. However, during this attack by the beast horde, Tianyi Pharma was overwhelmed, and nearly half of Wu’an City’s bunkers were completely demolished as if by an earthquake. Hundreds of soldiers were buried underneath, and although there was almost no hope of survival, people would not miss any slight chance.

The people of Wu’an City were united as one, regardless of gender, age, or whether they were women and children, white-collar workers, business owners, migrant workers, or civil servants. At this moment, everyone joined the massive rescue effort.

When the people are of one mind, they can fortify any city!

When disaster strikes, help comes from all sides!

Without machinery, they used shovels and hoes, digging with their hands, forcefully clearing the rubble.

Men, strong enough to move large rocks; women, moving smaller stones; some elderly men and women, unable to do any heavy work, went back to cook food and carry water, providing logistical support for the rescue team.

One by one, the bunkers were opened, but it was heartbreaking to find that the soldiers inside lay dead.

They were all young, but in this fight, they had paid with their precious lives to defend this city!

Corpse after corpse, a sight distressing and moving enough to bring tears to one’s eyes.

As the rescue operation was underway, suddenly, from not too far away, a bustle arose.

"There’s someone alive here, still breathing, quick, quick, take them to the hospital."

People shouted desperately, and doctors arrived swiftly to treat the injured while others carried them into the hospital.

This was a twenty-year-old young man, a squad leader who had been in the army for two years.

A man who survives a great disaster may be destined for good fortune!

Believing that if he gets through this plight, his future path will be smoother and more successful!

Fortune!

Within two hours, with the efforts of all the people of Wu’an City, the hundreds of collapsed bunkers had been cleared. Aside from the one survivor found earlier, the remaining soldiers had either been crushed to death by the collapsed bunkers or killed by the different race.

After that, everyone couldn’t stop cursing as they began to clean up the innocent civilians who had been killed by the different race on the streets.

There were more than three thousand of these people, scattered across the streets and alleys of Wu’an City, large and small; not one of them was alive.

Every few meters, or tens of meters, there would be a corpse—elderly in their seventies or eighties, middle-aged around forty-five, youths in their twenties or thirties, and even suckling children—these beasts spared no one.

They killed on sight, killing indiscriminately, without any restraint!

Shameful, hateful, heaven’s fury, and the people’s resentment!

The bodies were laid out in a row for family members to claim, and for a moment, the wailing shook heaven and earth.

In the morning, they were still alive and well, but in the blink of an eye, they had all become corpses, plunging the families of the deceased into inconsolable grief.

Lin Tian heaved a long sigh, his heart boiling with hatred towards the different race to the utmost degree, but the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but form a bitter smile.

What could he do?

These beasts were just a small part of their kind, and in the future, even more would come out to kill these innocent civilians.

The wars to come would grow increasingly brutal, and the death toll would rise ever higher.

But this was war, this was reality.

Lin Tian was powerless to change it, and nobody could.

After dealing with the bodies, Lin Tian made an announcement to everyone.

For those wounded in this battle, Lin Tian would cover their medical expenses until they were fully recovered and discharged from the hospital.

For those who had died, Lin Tian would provide generous compensation to ensure the livelihood of their families.

For several thousand people, this sum was gargantuan, but still, Lin Tian insisted on doing this.

This massacre was initiated by Lin Tian’s massive slaughter of the beasts, and although it was not wrong, Wu’an City suffered carnage, and Lin Tian could not absolve himself of involvement; no matter what, he had to take this responsibility.

"This time, Tianyi Pharma will probably owe the bank an enormous debt again!"

Lin Tian twisted his mouth into a rueful self-mockery.

Then, he went to find the Dragon Emperor, requesting a six-month leave of absence. During this half-year, he hoped the Dragon Emperor would not assign him any missions, as he needed to search for the spirit herb in Malaysia.

The Dragon Emperor felt indebted to Lin Tian; if it hadn’t been for the missions he assigned to Lin Tian, Bu Mengting and Wu’an City would not have suffered such great harm.

The Dragon Emperor agreed decisively to Lin Tian’s request. Now, with this batch of beasts nearly all killed, the rest wouldn’t emerge in great numbers for a while.

For the time being, there was no need for Lin Tian!

Furthermore, the Dragon Emperor told Lin Tian that if he needed anything at all, he should just ask. If it was within his power, he would definitely help.

After that, Lin Tian sought out Wang Yuan, Jian Cangsheng, Huo Shaotian, Li Linglong, Fairy Zixia, Yue Lei, Wang Hai, and others.

He had only one purpose in finding them: to ask for help in taking good care of He Qianqian, Bu Mengting, Shen Mengyi, Chen Lihui, Wang Ying, Jiang Hui, Qin Chi, and other brothers and family members.

Always staying in one place would inevitably draw unwanted attention, just as with this incident—no fortress is impregnable.

Hence, during Lin Tian’s absence, he hoped they would continuously change locations, staying with Li Linglong for three days, then with Fairy Zixia for three more—essentially, not giving any ill-intentioned people an opportunity. This time, nothing must happen to He Qianqian, Bu Mengting, and the others!

Everyone agreed to Lin Tian’s request, thumped their chests in guarantee, and told Lin Tian to go search for the spirit herb with a peaceful mind and not to worry about things at home.
