C22 Departure

"Boss, what's going on?" Hu Jun asked doubtfully.

Hu Jun asked doubtfully.

They naturally did not know about the mental conversation between Yang Tian and the explosion fruit tree, especially the attack launched by the Dark Crimson Fire Wolf just now, which frightened them.

"It's nothing; I just needed to teach some disobedient ones a lesson."

"You guys go and pick some different fruits from those trees."

Yang Tian pointed to many mutated fruit trees. Unlike vegetables, they didn't retain their previous appearance after mutation, and all the fruits on the trees had become round.

Aside from the explosion fruit trees, there were a total of three types of fruit trees.

They stepped on the fruits on the trees as they went over, and there were only three colors of fruits: red, green, and blue.

"Boss, can we eat these fruits?" Lee Sikai asked puzzledly.

"Of course you can eat them."

There were no unique fruits in those fruit trees as Yang Tian had imagined, only ordinary replenishment fruits in the apocalypse.

Red Fruit: Continuously restores physical strength.

Blue Fruit: Relieves pain.

Green Fruit: Induces sleep.

Yang Tian briefly introduced them and advised the group not to eat the green fruit.

Yang Tian observed the manor roughly; there was no significant change. However, the manor's walls were strengthened so that at least level three creatures could no longer break through them.

After the second Blood Rain, the manor would instantly expand and be comparable to a small city.

"How do you two feel?"

Yang Tian looked at Hu Jun and Lee Sikai. Although the Blood Rain did not affect their abilities, it would still enhance their strength. Hu Jun and Lee Sikai now only needed to absorb twenty energy crystals to reach level two.

"My strength and speed have increased a lot."

"Me too!"

Hu Jun and Lee Sikai were warriors; their main attributes were strength and speed. The blood rain increased their most needed attributes.

"What about you guys?"

They had all awakened their abilities, and their current state was their best.

"No problem."

"That's good!"

"Do you have any instructions, boss?"

"Do you still want to follow me?"

In his previous life, Yang Tian lived alone in the apocalypse with only his tamed beasts accompanying him. However, this time he obtained the spirit of the king of the manor. Only twenty-three palaces were in the Heavenly Dynasty, and the manor was definitely among the top five. Yang Tian could not afford to give up on it. However, after the second blood rain irrigation, the huge manor would be reduced to the size of a small city, and everything inside it would evolve. Therefore, Yang Tian needed his own subordinates to build his own power. It was not enough to rely solely on summoned and tamed beasts; he also needed humans.

"Boss, why do you ask? Of course, we'll follow you!"

Lee Sikai was initially stunned but immediately caught on to Yang Tian's words.

While battling the wolf pack, Yang Tian was the leader in their hearts. Now that it was the end of the world, they had no confidence in surviving on their own and could only rely on Yang Tian.

"Yes, boss, we will definitely stick with you,"

Hu Jun and the others immediately replied; even Guan Qingxue agreed.

The scrapped phone allowed Guan Qingxue to see the situation they were in and understand the situation they were facing.

Yang Tian's eyes fell on Zhu Xiaorou, the only one who hadn't spoken.

"If you don't want to, you can leave voluntarily. I won't stop you."

"I...agree,"

Zhu Xiaorou hesitated momentarily before immediately responding. Previously, all her attention had been focused on the Little Fire Dragon until Yang Tian looked at her, before she snapped out of it.

"Now that everyone agrees let me state my requirements. You are the first group to follow me, so my requirements are not difficult - I won't allow betrayal."

"If you go against my request, then the consequences will be ...you can guess."

When Yang Tian said his last word, his eyes turned icy and seemed to plunge into an endless abyss full of fear and despair.

For a full ten seconds, Lee Sikai and the others felt as though they had gone through an ice age until the coldness in Yang Tian's eyes dissipated before they slowly regained their composure.

"You guys go pick some fruits and prepare to set off."

"Y-Yes, boss. Where are we going?"

"Get some food. The food in the warehouse will run out eventually. The invading creatures aren't that strong yet, so let's try to get more food."

Currently, most of the extraterrestrial creatures that were resisting Earth were level-one creatures. Besides obtaining food, hunting and killing them was also important to obtain energy crystals to improve one's strength.

"Understood!"

Lee Sikai and the others went to pick the fruits, while Yang Tian approached the Explosion Fruit Tree.

"Give me three Explosions Fruits."

"...Alright."

Three explosion fruits fell into Yang Tian's hands. It was inevitable that they might encounter accidents on their outing, but the three explosion fruits might have a good effect.

Lee Sikai and the others picked seventeen red fruits and sixteen blue fruits but not a single one of the hypnotic green fruits. In the end, Yang Tian went to pick five of them.

Later, Yang Tian took out twenty packs of instant noodles, fifteen boxes of compressed biscuits, and fifteen bottles of mineral water from the warehouse. The journey from the manor to F city would take about a day, and those foods would be enough for a day's consumption.

"Do you guys have backpacks?"

"Boss, we only have one."

Hu Jun had a medium-sized backpack that could hold food, but it would be a bit tight if he added those fruits.

"I have one too."

"So do I."

The ones speaking were Guan Qingxue and Zhu Xiaorou. When Hu Jun heard their words, he was a little excited, but his face immediately drooped when he saw the bags in their hands.

LV Bags

The one that Guan Qingxue had was slightly larger and could hold eight or nine items, while Zhu Xiaorou's could hold four or five, which was still considered decent.

Both Guan Qingxue and Zhu Xiaorou noticed the stares they were getting and blushed.

"I remember seeing another backpack in the cabin."

Mo Kai, who was closest to the cabin, immediately went inside and brought out a medium-sized backpack.

All thirty-eight fruits were packed into the backpack, and Yang Tian grabbed five white radishes and five spinach from the warehouse. These vegetables would be beneficial at critical moments.

Hu Jun was given the backpack with the fruits and vegetables, while Lee Sikai was given the food backpack. They were the two strongest humans after Yang Tian and were tasked with protecting the food. This would make things much safer.

The Little Fire Dragon was left inside the manor with the explosion fruit trees and the Dark Crimson Fire Wolf. The manor was now very secure.

The manor was Yang Tian's base camp, so he couldn't afford to take it lightly.

As for the mutant hog, it continued to follow Yang Tian.

Its strength was average; hence it couldn't do much in the manor. However, it was going to become Yang Tian's means of transportation for the day's journey. It couldn't be left in the manor.
