Ling Cage: Twelve Talismans? I have everything I need.

Chapter 201 Counterattack
The young Yue Kui remained silent.

This world was completely independent and unfamiliar to her, unlike the silver-haired woman beside her, whose "that Hisakawa" was a lucky branch extending from her long and eventful timeline.

Just yesterday, she was speeding desperately, praying for her late father's protection.

I never expected... Dad really put in the effort.

The blessing came so powerfully that it brought her aid from across the world.

Bai Yuekui looked at the young man who was lost in thought and spoke again: "We were very happy when we were young, and we had a wonderful childhood."

These words resonated in the heart of the young Yue Kui.

A perfect childhood... with her parents alive and well, both by her side, a warmth she had long lost and dared not even imagine.

She met Bai Yuekui's calm gaze: "I...I don't know."

She paused, then said, "Let's talk about it after things are settled in Jiuchuan... with me."

Now is not the time to think about these things; her world is on the verge of collapse, and the fate of countless people hangs in the balance.

Bai Yuekui nodded understandingly and said nothing more.

The village's medical clinic.

The round white moon was placed on a specially made stand, and the expression on the screen was a cartoon face that was constantly shedding wide noodle tears.

Yang Chen, meanwhile, was casually fiddling with surgical instruments at the control panel. His posture didn't resemble that of someone preparing for a delicate brain transplant; rather, it looked like he was adjusting some household appliance.

“Um…brother-in-law…” Yuanqiu Baiyuetian’s voice trembled, “How about…we call Yuekui over to keep an eye on it? She’s very skilled at this!”

He tried one last time: "Or... are there any instructional videos? Could you watch the simulation a few times first? You probably don't perform this surgery often, do you?"

"What if your hand slips and you forget the steps, turning my brain upside down and unable to distinguish left from right? Would I have to walk backwards from now on? Would my thinking also become reversed?"

The more he talked, the more terrifying it seemed to him.

Yang Chen stopped what he was doing, turned around, and flicked the cold metal shell of the sphere with his finger in an annoyed manner.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law."

"I know the steps very well; I could do it with my eyes closed."

Just then, the door to the medical room was pushed open, and Bai Yuetian sauntered in. He overheard Yuanqiu's words and scoffed, "Look at your pathetic self! It's just a brain transplant."

"Just lie there and relax. At least your body is still the original one."

Round-faced Bai Yuetian immediately turned to him: "Shut up! You piece of trash! Try lying here yourself!"

"Tsk, who told you to be so careless over there and get tricked by that guy Gray?" Bai Yuetian crossed his arms and complained mercilessly.

"I was just careless! Who knew he was so cunning! Weren't you tricked too?"

Seeing the two "White Moonlight" lovers start bickering again, Yang Chen shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, stop arguing."

"Brother-in-law, relax. I'll turn off your phone first. When you wake up, you'll be 'whole' again."

Before the sphere could protest any further, Yang Chen had already turned off the sensors in the life support capsule.

The expressions on the spherical screen disappeared, revealing the brain inside, and the entire sphere fell completely silent.

Yang Chen began to operate the equipment steadily with both hands.

With a slight movement of his fingertips, the intricate outer shell of the spherical life support capsule opened, revealing a brain encased in a special nutrient solution, still pulsating slightly.

He didn't use any surgical instruments; he simply reached out his hand, and an invisible force gently lifted Bai Yuetian's brain from the center, suspending it in mid-air.

The body that had been turned into a sparrow quickly returned to Bai Yuetian's original form in a flash of light, lying flat on the operating table.

Yang Chen picked up the scalpel and made a gentle incision, and the skullcap opened neatly, revealing the empty cranial cavity.

The brain that had previously occupied this place, belonging to Gray, was removed by Yang Chen using the same method and placed on a tray to the side.

Now, the item has been returned to its rightful owner.

Under Yang Chen's control, Bai Yuetian's brain, which was suspended in the air, slowly descended.

It landed steadily back in its recently lost "home".

At the junctions of all nerve bundles and blood vessels, they begin to spontaneously connect.

Once the last connection was confirmed, Yang Chen raised his hand, and a vibrant light began to emanate from his fingertips.

The light swept over Bai Yuetian's head, and the opened skull healed instantly, restoring his skin to its original state without leaving even the slightest surgical scar.

The light continued to flow, nourishing the newly reunited body.

A few minutes later.

On the operating table, the young man Yue Tian's eyelashes trembled a few times, and he slowly opened his eyes.

He blinked in confusion, then subconsciously raised his hand to touch his forehead, which felt smooth to the touch.

Immediately afterwards, he sat up abruptly, looked down at his hands, flexed his fingers, and his face was filled with ecstasy.

"I...I'm back?! I'm really back!"

He tried moving his legs and feet, feeling the solid ground beneath his feet and the real sense of control over his limbs.

"How are you feeling, brother-in-law?" Yang Chen asked with a smile as he stood to the side with his arms crossed.

"Are you out of your mind? Why don't you try walking in a straight line first?"

Upon hearing this, the young man Yue Tian took a few steady steps on the ground, and even hopped around a bit.

"No problem! Absolutely no problem!" He waved his arms excitedly and then patted Yang Chen's shoulder hard.

"I feel my body is in coordination, and nothing feels wrong, so I'll just take a break and get used to it," Yang Chen said to the still excited young man, Yue Tian. "I'll be right back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Chen's figure disappeared from the medical room.

Bai Yuetian stepped forward, put his arm around the young man Yuetian, and said, "Let's go, let me take you for a walk first."

Bai Yuetian, with his arm around the young man Yuetian, walked familiarly toward Yang Chen and Bai Yuekui's residence.

Pushing open the door, one finds the young Yue Kui sitting with Bai Yue Kui in the living room.

Upon hearing the door open, the two of them looked up at the same time.

When the young Yue Kui saw the humanoid brother following Bai Yuetian, she suddenly stood up from the sofa.

"Yue Kui, brother is back."

"Brother!" She rushed over and hugged the young man Yue Tian tightly.

Young Yue Tian was bumped by his younger sister and took a small step back. He then hugged her back tightly, feeling the real embrace.

The brother and sister embraced, and Bai Yuetian, watching this scene from the side, touched his nose with a hint of envy on his face.

Then he moved closer to Bai Yuekui, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, and gently nudged her with his elbow.

"Yue Kui...look at them...why don't you hug your brother too?"

Bai Yuekui raised his eyes, glanced at him, and his eyes clearly said, "How old are you?" and "Boring," before turning his gaze away without a second thought, not even bothering to give him a single word.

Bai Yuetian: "..."

His expectation vanished instantly, and he looked rather dejected, reluctantly withdrawing his hand.

Hearing the noise, the young Yue Kui lifted his head from his brother's arms and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Bai Yuetian's aggrieved look.

Young Yue Tian patted his sister's back, signaling her to let go.

The young Yue Kui then released his brother, but still held onto his arm.

Where did the orange go?

Bai Yuetian was rubbing his nose listlessly when he heard this, and replied irritably, "Where else could we go? To Jiuchuan, of course."

"Hmm," Bai Yuekui responded faintly.

"Let's get ready on our side too."

Jiuchuan City.

Inside Bai Jingyu's office, the holographic projection of ASH flickered slightly, receiving massive amounts of data synchronized from ASH.

Yang Chen then appeared in the office.

“Father-in-law, ASH,” Yang Chen said succinctly.

"The situation is urgent. The ecological disaster in that parallel world has already begun to erupt. I need the Coastal Alliance to immediately enter a state of highest combat readiness and activate all pre-set emergency plans, especially the allocation of resources."

"ASH, synchronize the real-time data we just collected in that world, as well as the data on the effects of the initial potion produced in Nirvana, to the Executive Officer of Dongmu and the high-level officials of the alliance countries."

"The information has been synchronized." ASH responded without the slightest delay. "The Dongmu CEO is online, and the Coastal Alliance emergency meeting will be held in three minutes."

Bai Jingyu nodded solemnly: "I will fully cooperate to ensure that all of Jiuchuan's resources and production lines prioritize meeting the needs of the front lines."

"Okay, I'll leave this to you. I need to go back to the village." After saying that, Yang Chen's figure blurred again and disappeared in an instant.

In Longgu Village, at the No. 2 Village Square, little mobilization was needed. When the order to assemble was issued through ASH, the soldiers quickly gathered from their respective posts and training grounds.

Dressed in lightweight combat gear, Hong Kou was loudly directing: "Team One, Team Two, inspect the gravity bodies and weapon modules! Team Three, take charge of logistics and ammunition loading! Move quickly! We're not here for an exercise!"

Her voice was loud and clear, and her eyes were sharp.

The commander's instincts were fully awakened at this moment, and he was even more composed and capable because of the many battles he had experienced.

Just as Hongkou was directing the assembly of the troops, a tall and sturdy figure strode up to her.

"Sister!" There was always something inexplicably off about Mark's appearance.

She's only seventeen or eighteen years old, but looks like she's in her early thirties.

Hongkou turned around at the sound of his voice, and when she saw it was him, she frowned: "Mark? What are you doing here? Go back, this is not a place for you."

"Sis, I want to go with you!" Mark puffed out his chest. "I'm almost an adult, I can pilot a gravity vehicle in battle!"

Hongkou sighed inwardly as she looked at the fighting spirit and urgency in his eyes.

This kid is growing up faster than Dawn, but his mind is still that of a half-grown child eager to prove himself.

She shook her head without hesitation: "No, you stay in the village!"

"I'm not a kid anymore!" Mark said urgently. "I can protect myself, and I can protect everyone! Let me go, sis!"

“I said no, and that means no!” Hongkou looked past Mark and toward what was behind him.

"Ran Bing!"

Ran Bing, who had been quietly following behind Mark, immediately stepped forward. She had grown into a graceful young woman, and the childishness in her eyes had faded.

She reached out and gently pulled Mark's arm, whispering, "Mark, listen to Sister Hongkou, let's go back."

Mark still wanted to struggle, but looking into Hongkou's eyes and Ranbing's dissuasion, his passion and impulse were doused with cold water.

Eventually, under Ran Bing's guidance, he was reluctantly pulled away from the assembled group.

Hongkou looked at Mark's tall figure, shook her head, and focused her energy back on the preparations for the upcoming battle.

Honglu and Drake stood on a slightly higher vantage point, looking down at the rapidly assembling team below.

Honglu held a detailed map and situation briefing about Hisakawa City in that parallel world, transmitted by ASH, and quickly confirmed the entry point with several squad leaders.

The establishment of initial defensive positions and the evacuation routes for civilians.

"According to information provided by ASH, the initial Devouring Beasts were mainly composed of Infected, but the number of Spore Infected is surging, and the level of chaos is very high. Our primary task is to establish a safe zone to cover the distribution of Nirvana's medicine, while simultaneously eliminating high-threat targets..."

Large transport vehicles and assault vehicles, modified and equipped with weapons against the Devouring Beasts, were driven out of the warehouse, and the soldiers skillfully conducted final checks.

The new gravity body, improved by ASH, gleamed with a cold luster in the setting sun, and the eyepieces flickered with a standby light.

Various types of drones were also neatly arranged, ready to provide reconnaissance and fire support.

The entire Village No. 2 was like a war machine, switching from daily life to wartime readiness in a very short time. A powerful force was gathering, waiting only for the order to cross the world and enter that battlefield.

Yang Chen's figure appeared at the edge of the assembly square.

He spotted that familiar figure at a glance.

Bai Yuekui was now fully armed.

The jet-black armor of the Lin Yuanzhe clung tightly to her body.

At his waist, the slender Tang sword "Alaya-vijnana" hung silently. Several black bio-tubes, like living things, extended from the back and joints of the Abyss Warrior armor, like living vines, wrapping around the scabbard and hilt of Alaya-vijnana, ensuring the transmission of spiritual energy.

A hint of amazement flashed in Yang Chen's eyes as he approached her: "The Abyss Walkers are all wearing them?"

Bai Yuekui turned her head to look at him, and Lin Yuanzhe opened her mask, revealing her face.

She said with a smile, "It's always more convenient for those who are near the abyss."

Young Yue Kui and young Yue Tian stood aside, their eyes filled with undisguised curiosity as they examined the menacing black armor Bai Yue Kui was wearing.

Yang Chen looked at them and said, "You two can actually stay in the village. It's still very dangerous over there."

The young man, Yue Kui, immediately shook his head, his eyes resolute: "No, I have to go too. After all, that place... is my home."

She couldn't feel at ease staying in the safe rear, watching others fight for their own world.

Young Yue Tian nodded vigorously: "That's right! How can I, as the older brother, let my sister go on an adventure alone? Although I may not be able to help much, more people means more strength."

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Yuetian beside him and chuckled, "Hey... Big brother? Your exoskeleton looks pretty good, can I borrow it? We're the same size anyway."

Bai Yuetian was taken aback by his address of "Big Brother," but still pointed out his spare advanced exoskeleton armor to him.

"Tsk, go ahead and wear it. It was originally meant for you. Your older brother's body is indestructible now."

Young Yue Tian was overjoyed and immediately began to put on his clothes with great speed and dexterity.

The young Yue Kui also walked to the side, where a lightweight exoskeleton suitable for her body type had already been prepared for her.

Soon, the two were fully equipped.

Seeing the two fully prepared, Yang Chen knew that dissuading them was useless, so he nodded: "Okay, then you two stay close to the group and be careful."

Anyway, with Bai Yuekui and him around, nothing will go wrong.

He looked around the room again to make sure everyone was ready.

Just then, a transport truck sped over and stopped at the edge of the square.

Professor Horn and Xia Qinghe jumped out of the car, followed by several researchers who were carefully carrying two strangely shaped devices.

"Yang Chen! Yue Kui!" Professor Horn's voice boomed, "You're going to that newly discovered parallel world for practical application, right? Perfect timing! We've just completed prototypes of two new magnetic field interference devices, as well as a miniaturized life-source matter shielding tower!"

Xia Qinghe added, "The ecosystem there has just begun to flourish, making it an excellent environment for practical testing! If these devices can effectively interfere with the magnetic field of the Mana Flower and shield the Devouring Beasts from sensing the life essence, it will be of great significance to our future!"

The two magnetic field interference devices looked like nested metal rings that were constantly rotating and flashing with electric arcs, while the life source shielding tower looked more like a short, thick metal pillar with complex energy circuits covering its surface.

Yang Chen grinned as he looked at the new equipment.

The original plan was to come back and test it in the surrounding area that day, but now it's a good time to take it to that new world.

Yang Chen looked around at the team in front of him, his gaze sweeping over the resolute faces.

He took a deep breath, and his voice echoed throughout the entire square.

"Are you all ready?"

"Ready!" came the deafening, unanimous reply.

"Good! Very energetic!"

He said no more and took Bai Yuekui's hand.

Bai Yuekui gripped his hand tightly in return, and Lin Yuanzhe's mask closed, leaving only the area around his eyes glowing crimson.

The next moment, the power of the Chicken Talisman erupted from Yang Chen, instantly enveloping all the Dragon Bone Village warriors gathered in the square, the fully loaded vehicles, the brand-new gravity bodies, the drone swarm, and the two prototype devices.

The scene changed abruptly.

In just a moment, the once bustling square of Village No. 2, filled with people and vehicles, became empty, with only a few specks of dust slowly settling down.

Honglu and Drake stood on the high ground, looking down at the suddenly empty square below, their eyes solemn.

“The first batch has already gone,” Drake said in a deep voice.

Red Heron nodded: "Our mission is not over yet."

"We will urge the production of subsequent supplies and the preparation of troops. Once the support forces of the Coastal Alliance have been assembled, Boss Yang will return to carry out the second delivery."

"We must ensure that logistics are handled without any problems."

In a parallel world where disaster first struck, there is Hisakawa City.

In the sky, fully armed figures, tanks painted with the Coastal Alliance logo, and gravity bodies appeared out of thin air as if divine soldiers had descended from the heavens!
Under Yang Chen's control, all personnel and vehicles landed safely.

The heavy tracks and tires rolled over the road surface with a dull thud.

The low growl of the gravity engine mingled with the resounding footsteps of the warriors landing, breaking the deathly silence of the area.

On the street, Hongkou's voice rang out through the communicator: "All squads, deploy according to the plan! Squads one and two, establish an outer defensive line using heavy vehicles! Squads three and four, clear all visible threats in the surrounding area! Gravity Body Squad, advance and sweep to create a safe zone for subsequent operations! Move out!"

Once the order was given, the entire force sprang into action.

Gunshots, explosions, and the roars of the Devouring Beasts filled the air.

Yang Chen and Bai Yuekui hovered in mid-air, looking down at the rapidly unfolding battlefield below.

"The first batch arrived safely."

"I'll go back to pick them up once the Coastal Alliance is ready."

Bai Yuekui nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the area beneath the Abyss's mask, finally settling on several distant areas where the life essence was reacting unusually strongly.

"Let's start too."
