Apocalypse for All Terminal Illness: My Guardian Role in China
墨書 Inktalez
Beep, beep, beep.
In the hospital room, the heart monitor emitted a steady rhythm.
Lin Bai lay on the bed, looking bewildered.
Had he really crossed over?
But why him?
Just ten minutes ago, Lin Bai had been drinking beer and boasting with friends at a street stall.
This damn life had been enough already!
It was so boring!
If only he could be transported to a more exciting world and given a system— even if he could only live for a day or a week, it would be worth it!
These words weren't his; they belonged to his friend who had just received a hefty paycheck of three thousand five hundred yuan.
Lin Bai had merely echoed, "Yeah, I think so too!"
And then, in the next moment, he found himself in Blue Star, lying on this hospital bed.
Memories surged forth, merging with his previous recollections.
Apocalypse for All!
This term flashed in Lin Bai's mind, one he was most familiar with from his past life.
As a web novelist, he was well-acquainted with this overused theme.
The world here had developed similarly to Earth.
Twenty years ago, a rainbow light swept across Blue Star from deep within the cosmos.
Instantly, Blue Star underwent drastic changes; countless plants and animals mutated.
Among these mutations were even humans and other indescribable entities.
These mutated beings were generally violent and bloodthirsty, possessing extraordinary destructive power and resilience, collectively known as Exotic Species.
At that time, humanity also gained a special ability: the Awakened Heroic Spirit!
By deeply understanding historical figures from their nation's past and resonating with their emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness—there was a chance to awaken this Heroic Spirit.
Once awakened, one could unleash the powerful abilities of this Heroic Spirit as depicted in various historical legends!
However, in this Dragon Kingdom, the invasion of Western culture has been severe. The events leading up to World War II had thoroughly destroyed the historical narrative of the Dragon Kingdom, resulting in significant distortion and rewriting of its past. This has led to an inability to awaken the powerful Heroic Spirit!
As a result, he turned his gaze towards the closed-circuit television in the hospital room, where news was scrolling across the screen. Recently, the Non-Monkey Nation, with the support of Chou Kingdom, brazenly invaded our southern sea region, seizing Sunan Island and destroying factories on the island, causing deaths, disappearances, and injuries. Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has lodged a strong condemnation and protest with the United Nations.
Additionally, reports indicated that at a summit held in Sydney, Siziguo President Park Duan-diao stated that as a major power in East Asia, it is their responsibility to establish and maintain a new order in East Asia and to build a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
One news report after another made Lin Bai's expression grow increasingly cold. At thirty-two years old and still unmarried, his blood had not yet cooled. In his student days, he was a cynical youth, led astray by the public intellectuals of his time. It was only later, when the Dragon Kingdom began to lead the world in development, that he realized how wrong he had been.
He had seen too many news stories like this on television back then. He thought that such an era had passed and would never return. Yet here it was again!
Is this history? Although this world seems absurd, its overall historical trajectory and folk legends are not fundamentally different from those of Earth. The current regional divisions among countries also align with those on Earth. This suggests that perhaps the history of this world is consistent with that of Earth!
With a cold gaze, Lin Bai made up his mind. He would help the Dragon Kingdom of this world reclaim its true history! Just then, the door to the hospital room opened, and a young nurse entered carrying a plate of fruit.
"Professor Lin," she said gently, "you are weak and should watch less television. Recently, there have been many distressing news reports; it's better for you to avoid them."
The young nurse smiled and gently advised him, not turning off the television but placing the fruit on the bedside before starting to check the data on various instruments.
Lin Bai picked up the remote and turned off the TV, which made the nurse smile at him slightly.
"By the way, Professor Lin, General Bai will arrive this afternoon. If you have anything you want to say or do, you might want to think about it in advance and prepare a bit," she said after finishing her checks, casting an admiring glance at him.
"Alright, thank you," Lin Bai replied with a calm nod, though he couldn't help but feel a bitter smile inside. He understood why the nurse looked at him that way.
The body he had traversed into was anything but ordinary.
At a young age, he completed his university courses and was admitted to Yanjing University’s Department of History for further studies. During his archaeological practice, he discovered fragments of Tang Dynasty porcelain that brought him into the spotlight.
At twenty-five, he published "The Contributions of Xu Xiake's Travels during the Ming Dynasty to Geographic Science," successfully earning his doctorate. This achievement filled a gap in the relevant field and provided academia with a fresh perspective and new materials for research.
As a result, he successfully completed several profiles of Ming Dynasty figures.
Lin Bai was young and accomplished, known for his engaging teaching style and approachable demeanor, which made him well-loved by his students. Unfortunately, three months ago, while leading a group to investigate newly discovered historical ruins, an unexpected incident occurred.
A mutant centipede suddenly burst from the top of the ruins and attacked the team. Lin Bai quickly pushed a student out of harm's way but was pierced through by the semi-transparent centipede's numerous legs himself.
Immediately afterward, the soldiers responsible for their protection eliminated the mutant centipede. The result was that the relatively small ruins were completely destroyed; fortunately, none of the students suffered serious injuries. However, he himself was gravely wounded and near death, with severe damage to various organs.
It took over two months of intensive rescue efforts to bring him back from the brink of unconsciousness; what the doctors could do ended there. Although he appeared unscathed on the surface, the damage caused by exotic species had no treatment plan available with current medical technology and scientific research.
Thus, the condition resulting from injuries caused by exotic species was named Exotic Species Terminal Illness!
After a consultation with the expert team, based on past experiences, they unanimously agreed that his body could only withstand for a week at most. After the nurse left, Lin Bai felt a bitter pang in his heart. This world was indeed harsh, and life truly only lasted a week. But damn it, I didn't say that! And what about the system?
He felt a bit restless, but since everything was already beyond reversal, Lin Bai could only slowly accept it. Since there were only a few days left to live, it didn’t really matter. This big shot was willing to give up his life to save others; what was there for him to feel upset about? At worst, he could just traverse again or die without much concern.
Before truly dying, he had to find a way to help the Dragon Kingdom restore some of its true history; he couldn't let those heroes be wronged!
At one o'clock in the afternoon, General Bai came to visit on time. He was a middle-aged man with sharp eyes and a stern demeanor, but upon seeing Lin Bai, his face still bore a heavy expression.
"Professor Lin, I’m very sorry; we didn’t protect you well," General Bai said as he began.
"It's alright, General Bai. The dangers you face daily are far greater than this. We are all for the Dragon Kingdom; no one needs to apologize to anyone," Lin Bai interrupted him.
Seeing that General Bai wanted to say something else, Lin Bai simply continued with another matter. "General Bai, time is of the essence. Next, I hope you can listen carefully to what I have to say. I will also organize this information and publish it online afterward."
General Bai was taken aback and looked at Lin Bai's serious expression before quickly responding, "Please go ahead."
Lin Bai spoke in a deep voice: "I have revised a new historical figure. He shares your surname and is also a general!"
A general with the surname Bai? General Bai hesitated for a moment. "Are you referring to Demon Bai Qi?"
Lin Bai slowly nodded and then shook his head. "Not the demon, but rather... the God of Killing, Bai Qi!"
