Chapter 59: Satellite Phone

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Yang Tian finished telling his stories, Xiao Fei showed Yang Tian the things they brought for him.

Xiao Fei had spent the longest time in the forests and naturally knew what Yang Tian needed.

Night vision goggles, a few kilograms of salt, various spices, clean clothes, shower gel… All the basic living necessities were there.

Finally, Xiao Fei took out a projector and said to Yang Tian, “When we left, I heard you were already a Grade Five Warrior. The weapons you use are the sword and your fists. This projector has three Class Five sword techniques and three Class Five fist techniques saved in it. They are all very effective techniques that you should use. Also, here’s a satellite phone…”

“Team leader…”

Yang Tian was moved by how thoughtful Xiao Fei had been.

Seeing Yang Tian’s eyes turn red, Xiao Fei slapped Yang Tian’s shoulder and smiled. “We’re all brothers. Even though we weren’t together for long, our team’s creed is to stay together through thick and thin! We can’t be with you this time, so we sold the Beast Cores we collected last time for all of this.”

“Team leader, you must’ve contributed a lot?” Yang Tian knew the price of Class Five Combat Skills. He smiled as he asked.

Xiao Fei waved off the question magnanimously, and said, “Money comes and goes, it’s no big deal.”

Speaking of Beast Cores, Yang Tian had a thought. He had a fair amount of Beast Cores ranging from Grade One to Grade Five. He wanted to give these Beast Cores to his teammates anyway, so he fished them out and smiled. “I’ve not been idle all this while. These Beast Cores are for all of you.”

In these three days, Yang Tian had met several Warriors. Some of them were unwise and got themselves killed by him and their Beast Cores taken. Others were taken from killing Monsters. In total, Yang Tian had more than 20 Beast Cores.

“Wow! That’s a lot!”

Seeing so many Beast Cores, Zhou Feng exclaimed in surprise. This was the first time she had seen so many Beast Cores in the same place. Especially since there was also a light blue Grade Five Beast Core, which was exactly what the team leader needed.

“This… Number Eight… This is too much!”

Xiao Fei contemplated if he should accept such a large amount of Beast Cores. It really was too much. The value of all these Beast Cores was over 50 million Wu.

Yang Tian could see Xiao Fei’s troubled look and feigned unhappiness as he said, “Team leader, if you refuse to take them, I don’t want all this survival gear as well!”

“Fine!”

Seeing Yang Tian’s insistence, Xiao Fei smiled and nodded.

Everything that Yang Tian needed was divided into two large duffel bags. There was more than 100 kg in weight to carry. A normal human would not be able to lift such a heavy load, but to Yang Tian, it would not be a problem.

“Number Eight, what do you plan to do now? You can’t keep hiding out in the forest, can you?”

Everybody had not slept. As the sun rose, Xiao Fei and the others were preparing to head home when Xiao Fei could no longer resist the urge to ask.

If no Warriors were hunting for him, Yang Tian could live comfortably in these forests with Drago’s help. However, he not only had to face the Monsters but also defend against ever more dangerous Warriors. These were very tense days.

Yang Tian had definitely thought this problem through. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry everyone. By this date next year, I’ll definitely be in Tianxiong City. Also, I’ve found a hiding spot, so I can peacefully pass the time.”

Xiao Fei did not ask any further and nodded.

Yang Tian had a heavy duffel bag on each shoulder. It was to the point that his entire body was nearly obscured by the two packs. A moment later, he disappeared into the forest.

Previously, Xiao Fei and the others imagined that even if Yang Tian met them, he would be slightly cautious toward them. They even thought that perhaps after they handed over the things to Yang Tian, they would up and leave! However, it seemed that Yang Tian was just as trusting of them as he used to be.

This was good!

In this world where the strong ate the weak, being trusted was a very rare occurrence that was to be appreciated.

Xiao Fei thought about the night before when Yang Tian even fell asleep in front of him for a moment. He then thought about how paranoid he was and shook his head awkwardly.

“Number Eight is still the same as before!” Yang Tian had been gone a while, but the seven others were still looking at the spot where Yang Tian disappeared out of sight. At that time, Liu Jian, who did not speak much, commented flatly.

Everyone else nodded.

What Liu Jian referred to as the same was not Yang Tian’s appearance, but his heart.

“Alright! Now that our errand is done, we should head home. Number Eight said that when he’s back, we’re going to have drinks on him!” Xiao Fei snapped out of it and said with a smile.

…

It was late November.

If it was before the YS Virus, the climate would still be rather warm. However, global temperatures had since dropped significantly. Snow began falling from the sky. Even though in the beginning the snow was not heavy and melted as it hit the ground, as the temperatures dropped the snowfall would get heavier and heavier. Eventually, it would cover the entire forest in snow.

Yang Tian returned to the cave at night.

Even though it was cold outside, it was warm like spring in the cave. The water that came out of the ground was steaming.

Yang Tian returned to the cavern and started a fire. He pulled out fresh clothes from the duffel bag filled with goods, as well as shower gel and shampoo. He then soaked in the pool with Drago.

The water in the pool was at least 19 degrees Celsius. It was constantly flowing as well so he was not afraid of the water being dirty; it was a natural bathtub. Both man and dragon soaked in the water, their eyes full of contentment.

Yang Tian enjoyed the hot spring, while countless Warriors were looking for him outside.

“Screw it. Staying here is pointless. Yang Tian has definitely found a place to hide. We should return to Tianxiong City!”

Zhao Shuangxing said flatly as he looked at the snow falling from the sky.

The lady in black next to him nodded, saying, “Let’s go to Qingxi Valley and stay a while!”

Zhao Shuangxing shook his head.

Qingxi Valley had become a gathering spot for Warriors, and there were at least 200 Warriors there. The entire valley had been renovated. Compared to when Yang Tian left, it had changed entirely. The weeds had been cut away, and after it was rinsed down, the cement floor could be seen. The entire pond had also been cleaned and redesigned as a place for the Warriors to bathe…

It was the perfect place of residence. However, it was lacking in basic comforts. The area was still the Danger Zone, and nobody dared to fly a helicopter so far to send supplies.

Before the snow cut off the mountain, a majority of Warriors had the same idea as Zhao Shuangxing.

…

After Yang Tian was done showering, he changed into fresh clothes and pulled out the satellite phone. He pulled out one of the many SIM cards, opened the case of the satellite phone, and slid the card in.

After turning on the Satellite Phone, Yang Tian was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a signal in the underground cavern.

Yang Tian called his parents first.

For safety reasons, Yang Tian’s parents had also changed their number. They canceled the card they had with Tianxiong City Communications Co and switched to an extremely expensive satellite phone card.

“Hello…”

The call quickly connected and Yang Lin’s voice could be heard.

“Dad, it’s me,” Yang Tian said slightly excitedly.

It had been months, and he had finally heard his father’s voice.

“It’s… Little Tian! How are you?”

Yang Tian could hear that the sound on the other end changed. He figured that his father activated the hands-free. He immediately answered, “Mom, Dad, don’t worry! I’m safe. No one can find me…”

This time, Yang Tian was even more talkative than his parents. They talked nonstop for half an hour before ending the call.

After that, Yang Tian called Qin Fei.

The call connected very quickly as well.

“Little Fei, it’s me, Yang Tian! Did you miss me?” Yang Tian said with a smile as soon as he heard QIn Fei’s voice.

Qin Fei screamed in surprise. “Yang Tian, you’re back in Tianxiong City! Are you okay?” she said.

Yang Tian smiled and said, “Not yet! I’m using a satellite phone. I’ll go back soon. I think it’ll be just a while longer. Hehe! Let me tell you, your husband is now a Class Six Warrior. I’ve met your grandfather’s request a long time ago. When I go back, you just need to wait for me to marry you! How are you now/ Are you adapting to the school…”

Yang Tian had not talked to Qin Fei for a long while, and he naturally had a lot to say.
