Chapter 4 He's an orphan? No! From this day forward, 4 million people are his family!
Without hesitation, he opened the lid of the box.
Two beams of light shot out from the box, one pale green and the other silver-white, condensing into two physical objects.
A prompt appears on the system panel.
The Silver Treasure Chest has been opened!
[Item Obtained: Basic Antitoxin Serum x1]
[Item Obtained: Class D Vehicle Modification Part - All-Terrain Tracks x1]
The antitoxin serum is a syringe about the size of a thumb, containing a translucent, light green liquid.
The all-terrain tracks are two folded and compressed metal chains that are heavy to the touch and covered with anti-slip teeth.
Health points jumped to 67.
Su Chen didn't even look at the second item. He grabbed the serum and bit off the needle cap with his teeth.
He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his forearm covered in blisters and swelling, found the only relatively intact skin at the elbow, and plunged it in.
Push the lever all the way down.
The icy liquid spread along the blood vessels, instantly rushing into the chest cavity and filling the lungs.
The intense itching sensation, like being bitten by thousands of ants, subsided by more than half within three seconds.
A notification appeared on the system panel.
Primary antitoxin serum has been used.
[Poisoning Status: Cleared]
[Health Point Loss: Stopped]
Current Health: 66/100 (Slowly recovering)
66.
The numbers have stopped dropping.
Su Chen stared at the upper right corner of the panel, and a second later, 66 jumped to 67.
It's rising.
In DaXia's live stream, 300 million people simultaneously saw that number climbing upwards.
The barrage of comments exploded!
[Stopped! Health has stopped!!!]
[It's rising! It's going up! Su Shen is alive!]
[It's a potion! A potion came out of the first kill chest!]
[Oh my god! My heart almost stopped when my score dropped from 93 to 66!]
This isn't luck! This is a reward that Su Shen earned with his life!
[As long as Su Shen lives, the Great Xia Dynasty will not perish!]
......
In the official studio, Lin Xiaotang stared intently at the slowly rising numbers, her hand gripping the headset trembling uncontrollably.
She turned her head to look at the connection window.
Zhao Mingyuan remained silent until his health reached 68, at which point he spoke, his voice hoarse.
"Good lad."
Just three words.
Lin Xiaotang let out a long breath, turned to the camera, her voice still not completely steady.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Su Chen has successfully recovered from the poison! His health is recovering!"
The barrage of comments was instantly flooded with the words "Su Shen is awesome".
The live stream from the United States.
James Hall's smile froze when he saw Su Chen's health recover.
The next second, he put the beer can on the table and leaned back.
"Oh, the young man from Daxia has been cured of the poison. Congratulations."
He clapped his hands twice, the movements slow and his perfunctory manner utterly undisguised.
"But, everyone—"
He pointed to the muddy swamp under Su Chen's feet on the screen.
"He was standing in the center of an S-class calamity zone. The poison was neutralized, and then what?"
"His tricycle was stuck in the mud, the wheels were completely invisible. How was he planning to get out of this 200-meter-long swamp? By swimming?"
Laughter erupted in the studio again, but it was far less unrestrained than before.
James continued, "Don't forget the rules: a driver without a vehicle is like a legless grasshopper. Even without poisoning, how long can he survive soaking in acidic mud?"
The comments from the US quickly followed suit.
[That's right! What's the use of detoxifying when the car is totaled!]
He's going to push his tricycle two hundred meters? That's ridiculous!
The people of Great Xia are celebrating too soon! They'll be crying soon!
The Japanese livestream audience reacted even faster, with the commentators already pulling up a set of data.
"The corrosive effects of acidic swamp on the human body are physical damage, causing a loss of 1 to 2 health points per minute."
"If Su Chen continues to walk, his health will continue to decrease, just at a slower pace."
"The method of death has changed from suffocation to corrosion, but the outcome remains the same."
Japanese-style bullet comments.
It's just a slow death! People of Great Xia, don't be happy!
[His tricycle was totaled, how did he escape the S-class disaster zone?]
These screenshots were transmitted back to the DaXia live broadcast room in real time.
But this time, the style of the bullet comments was completely different.
[Are they getting anxious? They're getting anxious? Weren't they laughing happily just now?]
[Su Shen just killed a D-level monster with a shovel, are they pretending to be blind?]
Ignore these clowns, watch Su Shen's moves!
Wait, aren't there two items in the treasure chest?
What is the second one?
[Su Shen didn't show it to me!]
……
Su Chen didn't read the comments.
My blood volume rose to 71, my breathing became much smoother, and the burning sensation in my lungs subsided.
He pulled the two all-terrain tracks out of the treasure chest and weighed them in his hand.
In my mind, a clear path instantly took shape.
Intelligence 3: 12 degrees north of northwest, 220 meters away there is a hard base zone, which is the exit.
Intelligence 2: 38 meters due north, supply box containing a medical kit and vehicle repair fluid.
First, get the repair fluid, repair the vehicle, install the tracks, and then rush onto the foundation.
He hung the tracks around his neck, tucked the shovel behind his waist, and took his first step toward due north.
The acidic mud reached above my calves, and the burning sensation intensified again.
Health dropped from 71 to 70.
He didn't stop.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Each step required a strenuous effort to pull the legs out of the sticky mud.
But every step he took was precisely in the direction of due north.
The official studio of Da Xia.
Lin Xiaotang stared at Su Chen's struggling figure on the screen when suddenly the director's hushed voice came through her earpiece.
"Master Lin, urgent message from senior management, Line 1."
Lin Xiaotang was startled and pressed down on her earpiece.
The instructions given over the phone were brief and clear.
"Su Chen's identity information was immediately retrieved. All his family members were moved to a safe zone and placed under 24-hour protection by a special forces team. His family members are the family members of the country; any mishap will be investigated and held accountable at every level."
The phone hangs up.
Lin Xiaotang quickly issued an order to the internal channel: "Immediately access Su Chen's personal file, family members, and all related persons—now."
Thirty seconds later, the file was transferred to the tablet next to her.
Lin Xiaotang glanced down.
She was silent.
The information on the tablet is very short.
Su Chen, male, 24 years old, place of origin unknown.
Abandoned at the Chengnan Welfare Home at the age of three. No parents, no relatives.
He left the welfare home at the age of eighteen, lived alone, and had no social network.
Emergency contact: None.
Family members: None.
Lin Xiaotang stared at the word "nothing" for five seconds.
A staff member leaned over and whispered, "Sister Lin, which address is the special operations team assigned to?"
Lin Xiaotang looked up, her eyes instantly reddening.
She didn't answer, but turned directly to the camera.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
Her voice was a little unsteady.
"Just now, we received orders from our superiors to immediately protect Su Chen's family."
"I reviewed his file."
She swallowed hard.
"Su Chen was abandoned at the age of three and grew up in an orphanage. He has no father and no mother."
"The family member section in the personnel file—"
She paused.
The studio was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"It's empty."
In the online chat window, Zhao Mingyuan put down the broken pen in his hand, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Da Xia's live stream room.
Three hundred million people heard this.
The comments disappeared.
For a full three seconds, the screen remained blank.
There was no "Holy crap," no analysis, and no complaining.
Three hundred million people fell silent at the same moment.
Then the first comment appeared.
He is a person.
Article .
He was alone from beginning to end.
Article 3.
[He was abandoned when he was three years old.]
The next second, the barrage of comments exploded.
From this day forward, all 1.4 billion people of Great Xia are family with God Su!!!
[Listen up, Su Shen! You are not alone! You have 1.4 billion people behind you!]
[Who the hell is chopping onions?! Why am I, a grown man, crying like this?!]
[Why send a special operations team?! We, 1.4 billion people, are his special operations team!]
The children in the orphanage... bore the brunt of the S-level disaster zone for 1.4 billion people...
The same comment was copied billions of times, filling the entire screen.
[1.4 billion people are all family to God Su!]
[1.4 billion people are all family to God Su!]
[1.4 billion people are all family to God Su!]
……
Zhao Mingyuan took off his glasses in front of the camera and vigorously wiped his face with the back of his hand.
He put it back on, faced the camera, and spoke each word clearly.
"Su Chen".
"Live well."
