I Have a Manor in the Post-apocalyptic Era

Chapter 287 - Real Motive

Yang Tian blandly looked at Ji Tian Luo without speaking again.

Ji Tian Luo decisively helped to collect the energy crystals.

“What… is this?”

Ji Tian Luo discovered the Wintry Crystals, Yang Tian did not have any intention to hide his knowledge as well and said:

“That is a Wintry Crystal, it is very beneficial to metahumans with Ice Attributes. If a Peak Rank 3 Ice-Attribute Metahuman absorbs one, they will be able to easily reach Early Rank 4; the benefits are slightly lesser for Water-Attribute Metahumans. However, to metahumans of other attributes, this is a harmful substance. Absorbing it recklessly will destroy the meta-energy in their bodies.”

“You want the Wintry Crystals?”

“Yes.”

Yang Tian started collecting the Wintry Crystals, this was a treasure for Ice Attribute Metahumans. There were several metahumans with Ice Abilities amongst the various forces, they could sense something attracting them towards the dead Wintry Moon Zombies.

The Wintry Crystal’s effects were soon announced to everyone; this led to a crazed spreading through the Ice Attribute Metahumans. Even the dismembered limbs of Wintry Moon Zombies were also searched several times.

Yang Tian searched for a while longer before deciding to return to the hotel with Lei Xing.

“Boss, this…”

“Let’s talk when we return to our rooms.”

There were many people taking note of Yang Tian and Lei Xing, the various organizations and even some of the soldiers were greedily looking at the Wintry Crystals in the two men’s hands. Yang Tian did not notice them during the battle and had only realized their presence after the fight.

They were all Peak Rank 3 metahumans, or one could say that they have hidden well, but they were unable to hide from Yang Tian’s Mental Examine.

Once they returned to the room, Yang Tian used ten energy crystals to set up a Rank 1 Disruption Formation, preventing others from knowing what was going on inside their room. After all, they were still in the territory of others, Yang Tian needs to be prudent.

During the battle earlier, Yang Tian did not see Ji Hou Tao. Moreover, there were too few Early Rank 4 metahumans from C City. Yang Tian suspects that Ji Hou Tao might be observing them in the shadows.

Yang Tian was suspecting why the Wintry Moon Zombies had launched an attack. When he did not see Ji Hou Tao today, his suspicions were even clearer.

“Boss, did something happen?” Lei Xing asked.

“That old fella, Ji Hou Tao, is up to no good. I suspect that he used a treasure to attract the Wintry Moon Zombies, causing them to attack C City.”

“Why did he do that?”

“So that he can get a sense of the strength of the various organizations, that is also why I used that high consumption powerful skill. As he was unable to get a clear picture of the power of other organizations now, we should have it easier now. However, the rest…”

Yang Tian displayed a weird expression. Yang Tian did not know much about Ji Hou Tao, but he was sure that Ji Hou Tao was absolutely not a kind person. There is no simple character amongst those who can thrive in the early days of the Post-Apocalyptic Era.

“The various organizations were unevenly scattered. If it were me, I would do all I can to hold them under my grasp instead of letting them free-range. To leave them alone for too long, they might suddenly become more powerful than me.”

This was from experience because Yang Tian had once suffered a similar situation before. That was why he planted a Violent Corpse Worm in all the City Lords within Sky Halberd Domain, it was allowing him to control them with ease.

“Then, what are we to do next?”

This was a good question. If Ji Hou Tao clearly understood the strengths of each organization, he would not allow them to leave.

“We will try to leave, but if we can’t, we will just stay for a while and enjoy the free room and food.”

Why is she here again?

Just as Yang Tian was planning to rest, his Mental Examine discovered Ji Tian Luo outside the door.

Yang Tian stopped the Disruption Spell Formation and walked out of the room. Ji Tian Luo displayed an expression of delight when she saw Yang Tian, she passed the bag in her hands to him.

“This is the energy crystals and Wintry Crystals I have gathered.”

“Oh? So nice?”

Due to the deep grudges they had in their previous lives, when Yang Tian saw Ji Tian Luo treating him with concern, he immediately treated Ji Tian Luo as the type of person he needed to be suspicious of.

“What are you saying!”

Ji Tian Luo had spent a long time to collect these Wintry Crystals; she did not even give it to the military when they asked for it and gave everything to Yang Tian. When she heard Yang Tian’s words, the angry Ji Tian Luo wanted to take the bag back.

“Joking, joking.”

Seeing that Ji Tian Luo was getting angry, Yang Tian quickly appeased her.

Ji Tian Luo’s face turned slightly better and continued:

“How are you?”

“What about me?”

Yang Tian knew that Ji Tian Luo was referring to his body condition, using a big skill like Flame Emperor would have placed a strain on his body.

“Your body, we have a military doctor in C City that awakened the Wood Healer Ability and is now Rank 3. He has saved the lives of many heavily injured metahuman so far, do you want to pay him a visit?”

Wood Healers is a rare healing ability that is on par of Light Elves. One can even say that Wood Healers can heal you completely as long as you still have a breath of life.

“It’s fine!”

Yang Tian was only slightly fatigued, he could easily recover from this state by himself.

Ji Tian Luo’s clothes were still covered in filth from killing the Wintry Moon zombies, but this did not affect her beauty at all. When looking at her under the moonlight, this was the first time Yang Tian felt his heart beating quickly when he looked at Ji Tian Luo.

No… I can’t!

A new figure replaced Ji Tian Luo inside Yang Tian’s heart. This person had been the sole reason Yang Tian continued to be motivated in the Post-Apocalyptic Era; she was the source that allowed him to constantly break through every desperate situation, she was also the crux of why Yang Tian ended up in his final situation.

She was crucial to why Yang Tian died in a black cave in his previous life.

Yang Tian looked at the full moon hanging in the night sky and mumbled:

“You should still be in your Martial Sect!”

Yang Tian’s voice was so soft that even Ji Tian Luo was unable to catch.

This was also the first time Ji Tian Luo saw Yang Tian in such a profound state. She was able to see a special glow in Yang Tian’s eyes, a sort of yearning, adoration and also, loss.

“What… happened to you?”

Ji Tian Luo lightly touched Yang Tian’s arm, and her touch immediately woke him up from his stupor.

“Where is that follower of yours?”

Yang Tian avoided Ji Tian Luo’s question and asked her one instead.

“Follower?”

“That Jiang Lie, even an idiot could see that he likes you. Hoping that he could follow behind you every day, yet he is not here.”

“In the Post-Apocalyptic Era, no one knows what will happen the next second. Liking someone is fleeting and is as good as non-existent.”

Ji Tian Luo’s crystal eyes looked at Yang Tian. Yang Tian could see the helplessness in her eyes, a deep sense of helplessness.

“Speaking of the devil.”

Yang Tian could not help but want to laugh, Jiang Lie had entered the range of his Mental Examine and was heading towards Ji Tian Luo.
