Riding on His Coattails and Surviving the Apocalypse - Chapter 90

Chapter 90 Underground Third Floor
“Stop crying. Your father has always loved you deeply. Even if he turned into a zombie, this love still hasn’t dissipated. He stopped attacking when he heard your call. You did the right thing. He definitely didn’t want to continue living like a zombie.” Ji Lingtian was also a little depressed. His parents had passed away unexpectedly in his high school. Although he did not show it, he actually missed them very much.

Xia Xuan cried helplessly. In fact, she had little hope that her father would survive, However, she, who had been dependent on her father since childhood, really didn’t know what to do after losing her father as a pillar. She subconsciously grabbed onto the life-saving straw beside her. Her intense emotions struck Xia Xuan’s fragile heart at this moment, and she finally couldn’t bear to faint in Ji Lingtian’s arms.

Ji Lingtian picked up Xia Xuan’s crystal core from the ground and put it in her arms. Everyone burned the corpses of their dead companions to ashes and prepared to bring them back to their families. Everyone was exhausted after the battle. Fortunately, there was no danger here. Everyone found a place to replenish their physical strength and abilities. Ji Lingtian hugged Xia Xuan and looked at her with a frown. Even if she fell asleep, she was still unstable. He kissed her forehead.

‘”Boss, it’s not right for you to take advantage of a girl’s drowsiness. Besides, people treat you as someone who is not familiar with strangers. Aren’t you bringing in your boyfriend’s identity too quickly?” Tie Ta asked with a smile.

The seven people who died before were all from the same team, Even though Ji Lingtian didn’t feel regretful after he died, This Tie Ta Ji Lingtian actually valued it very much, Although not absolute trust, But it was also the one that everyone agreed with the most among the post-entrants. Therefore, when faced with Tie Ta’s intimate teasing, Ji Lingtian didn’t care about smiling and replying, “What do you know? Of course, you have to act decisively when you’re interested. It’s not a man who’s doing this. Since I’ve already taken a fancy to her, then she won’t go into other people’s bowls. Our Ji Clan doesn’t have such a precedent.”

As for his brother, once he confirmed Lou Xiaoluo, he would slice her into his bowl and eat her dry. Ji Ling Tian felt that his progress was already very slow. If Lou Xiaoluo was here, she would definitely spit on him, How long had she known Ji Shitian? How long had Ji Lingtian known Xia Xuan? If it weren’t for the fact that Ji Lingtian’s mental defenses had collapsed and she had given him the chance to take advantage of the situation, Xia Xuan would have watched him take a detour. Besides, she had obviously taken advantage of him.

Ji Lingtian was playing with Father Xia’s crystal core in his hand, and his eyes seemed to be weighing something. Feng Xin cursed in his heart, “If you want to pick up someone else’s girl, why don’t you let go of her father’s crystal core? Doing this to your father-in-law is bullying your father-in-law, right? If it was before the apocalypse, Ji Lingtian would definitely be a contestant who was kicked out of the house by her father.”

Ji Lingtian seemed to understand Feng Xin’s thoughts and glared at him. Ji Lingtian looked at the surroundings and was calculating something in his heart. Suddenly, Xia Xuan snorted and slowly opened her eyes. Her goal was Ji Lingtian’s handsome face. Facing such a face, Xia Xuan was in a trance for a moment. She gradually recalled what had happened before and felt a little depressed.

Xia Xuan thought of the crystal cores left behind after her father’s corpse was burned, After some thought, he didn’t say anything, After all, it was a sixth-order crystal core, It’s a fortune for anybody, Xia Xuan knew her strength. She didn’t contribute much in the previous battles. Even if she was the one who relied on Ji Lingtian’s weapon in the end, Xia Xuan didn’t have the face to ask for the crystal core. However, it was the only thing her father left behind. Therefore, Xia Xuan thought about telling Ji Lingtian not to use it for now and waited for her to save some supplies for it.

“Boss, what should we do now? Are we going to bring these things with us? Should we send some people back to report them?” Feng Xin saw that everyone was resting. He asked Ji Lingtian. Ji Lingtian thought that his brother would only let him explore the path. Although he had overfulfilled his mission, it was a joke that he couldn’t bring the results back. “What are we going back for? There’s still one more floor down there. Why should we go take a look?” Ji Lingtian thought, since it was already this much, it would be better to make more contributions to his brother, or else it would be a bit embarrassing to go back and say it like this.

“Then should we go to the four corners?” One of them asked with sparkling eyes, “Is it good to have some imagination? This is like clearing a game. The first two tests are the same. Of course, the third trial will change a bit.” Ji Lingtian looked at them with contempt. His inertia limited their imagination.

“Then what should we do?” Ji Ling Tian proudly said, “Jump in the opposite direction.” Everyone turned into stone statues, “This is really unimaginable.” According to Ji Ling Tian, everyone saw another password lock. Everyone looked at Ji Ling Tian blankly. Ji Ling Tian waved his hand and said, “I really don’t know. I was bored by the question. If it weren’t for the fact that the old man was the general, I wouldn’t be interested.” Everyone looked at Ji Ling Tian with condemnation. Were you really so willful? You had already taken 99 steps, so why did you almost tremble?

“Try the full digital version that I’m not interested in.” Xia Xuan said slowly from the side. Ji Lingtian laughed loudly, hugged Xia Xuan and kissed her. Xia Xuan kicked her and ruthlessly wiped the place where she was kissed. She glared at Ji Lingtian fiercely, even the sadness in her heart was slightly diluted by this anger.

Ji Ling Tian rubbed his nose embarrassedly and said, “It’s truly worthy of being the woman I’ve taken a fancy to. It’s just a perfect match for me.” Everyone rolled their eyes and tried the password. In the end, there was a passageway. Facing this strange setting, everyone was already immune to the blow.

Everyone went down to the third floor, It’s not big inside, There was only one big chest. It was still an iron general. There were a few sporadic gold bars beside it. Everyone understood that these were illegal gains. However, they were very happy that these gains had been exchanged for gold bars instead of cash. Currently, money was scrap paper. Fortunately, metal could be used. Although the apocalyptic metal was not suitable for money, its value was still very high.

“Why is this place not a password lock but an iron gate?” Shouldn’t a normal safe be a password lock? Why is this the same as the one at the gate? Everyone had this question in their hearts. ‘”Of course, if an outsider can come here, it means that those people with the password set have already figured out the pulse, so of course they have to make a difference at this time. Either they have the key or they can break the lock.” Ji Lingtian spread out his hands. Everyone was speechless as they looked at the sky. They felt that this was a baptism of their minds.

“Looks like there’s nothing we can do for the time being. Let’s go up first.” Ji Lingtian was playing with two gold bars in his hand. When everyone reached the top, he burned all the password devices. After everyone sat down and discussed what to do next, he said, “Should we split up? Although there is password protection here, it’s still easy for something to happen.”

“I broke the password.” Everyone looked at Ji Lingtian in surprise. Ji Lingtian seemed to be very interested in the gold bar in his hand. He was holding a fire in his hand and calcining it. Everyone just wanted to say if they could fall ill later. ‘”There should be another exit on the third floor. Every time you go out, you need to manually activate the password device. Otherwise, this place will automatically lock down after a certain period of time. That’s why I’ve destroyed it. This place is now an open environment.”

Ji Lingtian did not raise his head and continued to calcine the gold bar in his hand. The gold bar had already deformed and was being calcined into a smaller, lighter-colored liquid metal by Ji Lingtian’s ability. “Why don’t I bring my men back? Boss, you stay here and guard them. Otherwise, if someone else picks a peach, they will suffer a huge loss.” Zhu Rui said, “Alright.” Feng Xin agreed, “No need, Xia Xuan will go to the base by herself.”

Ji Lingtian looked up at Xia Xuan and said, “Everyone in our Face Base knows us. If we go back, it will be easy for us to be targeted. This is your first time going to the base and no one will pay attention.” Xia Xuan nodded. Everyone thought that this was the best method. “Let me accompany you. Xia Xuan is not safe by herself. At worst, I won’t enter the base.” Tie Ta said that it wasn’t good to let a woman walk so far by herself.

“It’s fine. We’ve already cleared the way here once. Besides, I believe in Xia Xuan.” Ji Lingtian did not agree with Tie Da’s words, “Don’t worry, I was also alone before.” Everyone looked at Xia Xuan and Ji Lingtian expressing their agreement. Only one person’s eyes flashed with anxiety. They secretly hated that everyone else was accustomed to obeying Ji Lingtian, making it impossible for him to send the message back. However, they could only endure it now.

After resting for a night, Ji Lingtian called Xia Xuan to the side the next morning. “Here you are. You can defend yourself if you encounter any danger on the way.” Ji Lingtian handed her a crystal nucleus gun and told her not to bring it into the base. If she used it on the way, it would be destroyed. If not, find a place to hide it before entering the base. Xia Xuan nodded and understood that this was a secret technique.

“Give me something to make your brother believe me.” Xia Xuan thought, you can’t go there and say that your brother asked me to come find you. You can ask someone to come with me. That scene is a little unwanted to see. “No need. You just need to tell him about this place.” Ji Lingtian said nonchalantly. His brother was good at it. Besides, his brother could understand before he returned. “Alright then, I’m leaving.” Xia Xuan was still looking forward to the next trip. She was going to the base to see Shitian Squad.

A small theater

Ji Lingtian: Xia Xuan, this is my token of affection. If you accept it, you will be my daughter-in-law.

Xia Xuan: Who has received your token of affection? This is my father’s crystal core. It was originally mine.

Ji Lingtian: Daughter-in-law, don’t be shy. I know what you mean. Look, you’ve risked all your life to send information for me. You’ve even met my brother. We’re meeting our parents now. Although we can’t get a license now, we still need a banquet.

Xia Xuan: Mr. Ji Shi Tian, what did Ji Ling Tian eat when he was young? Why does he love to nourish his brain so much?

Ji Shi Tian: Haha, be more generous. My younger brother’s appearance is perfect and his bloodline is pure. You just need to bring him back and take good care of him. Don’t worry, I’ll provide him with food.

Xia Xuan: Well, I always feel that something is wrong.
