End of the World? I'm the Boss novel Chapter 415

Chapter 415 Breakthrough

“What do you mean you think!” Robin said.

478

She pulled a Mental Amplification Serum from the system shop and thrust it toward him. “Take it now while you still can.”

She’d noticed it recently, that the serum’s effect nearly doubled when used at the precise moment of a breakthrough.

Henry stared at the vial for half a second, then took it without question, pulled the stopper. and drank it in one motion.

The moment it hit his tongue, something inside his mind went crystalline and clear, sharp in a way that had no comparison he could reach for.

The sensation was so foreign that his entire system seemed to lag behind it.

Robin’s voice cut through the daze. “Run the cultivation technique I taught you.”

Henry snapped back, gave a quick nod, and dropped to sit cross-legged with his eyes closed.

All

eyes on them paused briefly, a collective hush falling over the room.

Robin let out a quiet breath.

She hadn’t expected this from Henry, not today of all days. He’d been under enormous pressure, and he’d pushed his mental strength control to its absolute ceiling in order to make the blast work, and somewhere in that grinding effort, the breakthrough simply arrived.

With the Mental Amplification Serum on top of it, she was genuinely curious what level he’d be sitting at when he opened his eyes again.

“It’s right here!” Sevyn’s voice had gone hoarse a long time ago, but he didn’t slow down for even a second, pulling away the top layer of rubble and peering through the barrier of ice Robin had condensed below.

A familiar shape came into view.

“That’s my wife. That’s

wife. That’s my wife!”

He grabbed hold of Ella’s arm and barely kept himself from dissolving entirely. “She’s right here, she’s right below us, get her out, someone help!”

The voices from above were fully audible now.

Ryan’s voice rose from below, urgent and desperate, Dad! I’m down here! Get us out!”

With the location confirmed, the actual rescue was straightforward.

The group

worked together, and it didn’t take long to clear the surrounding debris.

But the moment Sevyn looked down and understood what he was actually looking at, everything inside him stopped.

His lips began to tremble visibly. “Lydia…”

He was only now seeing the full picture. Lydia’s entire lower half was drenched in red.

4.79

A piece of rebar had driven clean through her body. By any reasonable standard, a wound that severe and that much blood loss should have put her under long ago.

But she’d stayed conscious through all of it. She was still awake when they finally cleared the last of the rubble away.

“You came,” she said softly.

She parted lips that had lost every trace of color and managed something that looked like a smile. Then her head dropped, and her eyes closed, and she finally lost consciousness.

But even then, the arms she’d been holding above Ryan stayed rigid. Not one inch of bend in them, even now.

Robin looked at that and said nothing.

Autumn stepped forward immediately. “I can help. I had a hospital internship before the apocalypse.”

Ryan was carefully lifted out from beneath Lydia, but both of his legs had been pinned long enough that he’d lost all sensation in them, and the infection from his wounds had him running a high fever.

Lydia was the more complicated problem.

Autumn looked at her with a troubled expression. “Our medical resources aren’t adequate for this. Nobody here has a healing-type ability. If we pull that rebar out carelessly, she could bleed out before we get it under control.”

Sevyn’s breathing went ragged. “Then what do we do?!”

Robin’s expression didn’t shift. “Pull it.”

Everything Autumn just listed was, from Robin’s perspective, not actually a problem.

The system was right there. Even if Lydia was down to her last breath, Robin had more than enough tools to bring her back from the edge..

Sevyn’s voice went up half a register, his lips still shaking. “Just pull it straight out?”

“Straight out,” Robin confirmed.

4.78%0.

Autumn looked at Robin’s absolute certainty and made the decision. He gripped one end of the rebar with one hand, pressed his other hand firmly against the wound to brace it, and pulled with everything he had.

The bloodied rebar tore free from the flesh in one sharp motion. Lydia made a sound in her unconsciousness, a short, raw cry of pain, and blood began flowing freely from the wound. Robin moved before anyone else registered what was happening, not even pausing to disinfect the site, wrapping a bandage around the wound with clean, practiced efficiency.

That bandage again.

Autumn watched it happen with an expression that had gone very still and very focused.

He’d seen this particular bandage twice before and its effect was difficult to forget.

The first time was when Elliott lost an arm to Winter’s blade, and Robin’s bandage was what held everything together.

The second time was when Winter severed her own arm in turn, and the same bandage was what kept her standing.

Now it was appearing again, wrapped around a wound that should have been hemorrhaging without stop.

Autumn had already drawn his conclusion. This bandage did something the eye couldn’t see, the same way the water Robin distributed did something no ordinary water could.

The evidence came immediately.

That single thin layer of bandage sat over the wound, and no blood came through it.

Sevyn had been holding his chest tight since the moment the rebar came out, like something inside him had been pulled free along with it.
