However, Ning Yu seemed not to hear her words and continued to inject energy into the interference source. He felt his life force rapidly draining away and his consciousness beginning to blur, but he still did not give up, because he knew that he was the last hope.

As Ning Yu continued to inject energy, the cracks on the protective barrier grew larger and larger. Finally, with a deafening roar, the protective barrier shattered completely, turning into countless fragments that dissipated into the air.

At the same time, the raging cold energy wave seemed to have lost its target, gradually weakening and eventually disappearing without a trace.

“Success…” Ning Yu looked at the scene before him, a relieved smile appearing on his lips. Then everything went black, and his body fell limply backward.

"Ning Yu!"

Upon seeing this, Mu Xue let out a heart-wrenching scream and rushed over without hesitation to hug Ning Yu in her arms.

The other team members also gathered around, their faces full of worry and anxiety as they looked at the unconscious Ning Yu.

"Ning Yu, wake up!" Mu Xue gently patted Ning Yu's cheek, her voice trembling as she spoke.

However, Ning Yu seemed to have lost consciousness and did not react at all.

Upon seeing this, Mu Xue felt a sense of foreboding. Her hand trembled as she placed her fingers under Ning Yu's nose. The next second, her face turned deathly pale...

His breathing... has stopped...

"No! This is impossible!" Tears welled up in Mu Xue's eyes, her voice filled with disbelief and utter grief. She held Ning Yu's gradually cooling body tightly, as if she wanted to meld him into her very bones, never to be separated again.

The surrounding teammates were also plunged into deep sorrow and panic. They had witnessed Ning Yu's heroic act of burning his life force to save everyone, ultimately dying from exhaustion. Their hearts were filled with admiration and gratitude, but also with confusion and worry about the future.

"Captain, what should we do now?" a team member asked, his eyes red and his voice choked with emotion and trembling.

Mu Xue didn't answer, but simply held Ning Yu tightly, as if trying to release all her sorrow and pain. She knew that without Ning Yu, they had lost their pillar of support and their direction.

"Captain, please don't be like this. Team Leader Ning certainly wouldn't want to see us so downcast," another team member comforted, his voice trembling with a hint of tears.

Hearing her teammates' words, Mu Xue's body trembled slightly. She slowly released Ning Yu, stood up, and a resolute light flashed in her eyes.

She wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, looked around at the sad and confused faces, and said in a deep voice, "I know everyone is very sad, but now is not the time to be sad. We have more important things to do."

"Captain Ning sacrificed his life to protect us. We cannot let him down. We must pull ourselves together, fulfill his last wish, and build a safe and peaceful homeland!" Mu Xue's voice grew louder and louder, like a lightning bolt piercing the gloomy sky and illuminating everyone's heart.

Hearing Mu Xue's words, the team members' sadness and confusion gradually dissipated, replaced by determination and hope. They knew that although Ning Yu was gone, his spirit would forever inspire them and guide them forward.

"Captain, tell us what we should do?" the team members asked in unison, their eyes filled with trust and determination.

Mu Xue nodded, her gaze falling on Ning Yu's pale face, and silently said in her heart, "Ning Yu, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your last wish..."

At this moment, a team member exclaimed, "Captain, look!" He pointed at Ning Yu's body, his tone filled with disbelief and surprise.
