One day later.

Li Tianyi was still in a strange state, frantically deducing the Xinyou Sword Technique, and his understanding of it was now almost on par with that of General Qi Jiguang.

Suddenly, Li Tianyi exhaled a breath of stale air and woke up laughing.

"Brother, can you please stop scaring people like this?" Xiaoman said with a resentful look.

Li Tianyi was bewildered and muttered under his breath, "I only deduced the Xinyou Sword Technique for a bit, why are you all so nervous!"

"It's been a whole day and night, okay!" Wang Xue'er glared at him. "If Sister Wanruo hadn't said you'd entered a deep cultivation state and told us not to disturb you, we would have woken you up long ago!"

Li Tianyi looked at Su Wanruo and sincerely said 'thank you'.

"Of course!" Su Wanruo walked to the bedside. "Let me see how you're recovering!"

He pulled back the covers, and her fair skin came into view. "This...this isn't scientific!"

She knew better than anyone how badly Li Tianyi was injured. In just three days, not only had his flesh and blood fully healed, but his skin had also completely regenerated.

From a medical perspective, it's too unrealistic and too fantastical.

"Hehe, I'm all better!" Li Tianyi jumped off the bed excitedly, wearing only a pair of underwear.

"Pervert!" Xiaoman covered her eyes.

"Blind!" Wang Xue'er turned her head.

Su Wanruo stared intently at him, her smile deepening.

Li Tianyi felt embarrassed and quickly took out a set of ancient night-walking clothes from his system space and put them on, grinning sheepishly, "These clothes are really comfortable to wear!"

"Keep entertaining yourself, let's go rest!" Xiaoman pulled Wang Xueer away.

Su Wanruo slowly approached him, gazing at him affectionately. "Thank you for everything you've done for me. Let me ask you something. After we flew off the motorcycle, did you deliberately change the landing points between us?"

Li Tianyi smiled but remained silent.

"I knew it!" Su Wanru threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably. "Silly, silly boy, you almost died! I'm not worth you doing this! Waaah..."

"It's worth it, it's worth it!" Li Tianyi patted her back gently. "If it weren't for your constant support over the years, Xiaoman and I wouldn't have been able to go to school, let alone have enough to eat. Thank you, Wanruo!"

Hearing the ambiguous terms of address, Su Wanru shed tears of happiness.

Although she is obsessed with medicine, she is only twenty-four years old this year and, like every girl, dreams of finding her ideal prince charming.

Now that we've finally found it, how could we not be excited, how could we not shed tears?

Li Tianyi slowly pushed her away, his elbow brushing past her left shoulder, and a gasp rang out.

Li Tianyi quickly checked and found that the wound had just scabbed over. He immediately bent down and blew on the wound, "I'm sorry, does it still hurt?"

Su Wanruo burst into laughter at his nervous and silly antics...

...

After the four finished lunch, Li Tianyi asked about the recent situation at the shelter, his brows furrowing immediately. "We can't let the demons roam around the shelter. They will infect the creatures in Dafeng Mountain. We must eliminate them as soon as possible!"

“Let’s go together!” Wang Xue’er replied.

Li Tianyi shook his head, "Your current task is to teach Wanruo all the combat skills you have learned without reservation!"

Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. She grabbed Su Wanruo and asked, "Girl, when did you become my sister-in-law?"

"No, that's not true!" Su Wanruo's pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at them.

Wang Xueer smiled and pushed Li Tianyi in front of her, saying cheerfully, "Sister Wanruo, I'm giving Brother Tian to you!"

In the ten days or so since the apocalypse began, Wang Xue'er has experienced too many separations and deaths and the ultimate test of humanity. She has gained a new understanding of how to live well, which is why she is willing to take on the role of sharing a husband.

Su Wanruo was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground.

"Um, um!" Li Tianyi quickly changed the subject, "I'm leaving now, you guys continue chatting!"

He stepped out of the room and ran wildly toward the city gate.

As the city gates opened, a stench assaulted the senses, and the ground was littered with severed limbs and rotting entrails.

Li Tianyi retched repeatedly, enduring the discomfort, and slowly walked into the distance.

The wandering monster soon came into view.

Po Jun flashed into existence, a swift blade of light slicing through the horde of demons, several heads rolling off.

"This?" Li Tianyi could hardly believe his eyes. He had just casually used the knife, but he hadn't expected it to produce any blade energy.

A rapid charge cleared out the nearby monsters.

"This injury has turned out to be a blessing in disguise!" Li Tianyi was very happy, but he did not forget to collect the source of the demon corpses.

After Po Jun devoured them, it flashed with a ghostly light.

Understanding that this was the rhythm of breaking through, they searched for monsters even more diligently.

Before we knew it, we had arrived at the back mountain.

There was no trace of monsters around; the area was lush with green trees and vibrant wildflowers, peaceful and serene.

"Hehe, isn't this wild onion? Let's take some back and plant it!"

"Hey! Wild ginger, not bad, not bad!"

...

After some searching, they also found wild Sichuan pepper seedlings and mountain pepper seedlings.

"These alone are not enough. We need to go to the pond and get some fish fry to raise so they can get enough nutrition!"

Soon they arrived near the pool.

Looking at the emerald green pool, I felt instantly joyful and jumped into the water with a splash.

Li Tian dived down and quickly caught a large carp. He then took out a large bucket from his system space and fed it to the carp.

The catch continued, and the variety of fish in the bucket increased, including crucian carp, grass carp, yellow catfish, silver carp, and bighead carp.

Happily carrying the big bucket ashore...

Half an hour later.

As he passed a pile of rocks, he caught a glimpse of several chili seedlings, which made Li Tianyi extremely happy.

The food in the mountains is rough and simple; it's really hard to swallow without some chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns.

They happily harvested the chili seedlings and hummed a little tune as they hurried home.

Back at the shelter, Li Tianyi quickly handed over the collected items to his sister, while he himself carried a large shovel and hoe to clear away the monster remains outside the protective shield.

They worked until dark, finally managing to move the nearby remains into the newly dug pit.

Diesel fuel was poured over a large amount of dead branches, a torch was thrown down, and a raging fire shot straight into the sky.

The fire burned for almost a day before slowly going out.

Li Tianyi had no idea that this unintentional act would bring them utter destruction...

Midnight.

A terrified scream suddenly came from Su Wanruo's room.

Li Tianyi rushed into the room in a panic, only to find the door locked from the inside.

"What's wrong?" He looked completely bewildered.

Su Wanruo slowly walked out from behind the door and hugged him tightly, "I love you!"

Even a fool like Li Tianyi would know this was a scheme she and Xue'er had devised, and laughed, "Well! You two actually teamed up to plot against me!"

"So what if I scheme against you?" Su Wanru pouted, tilted her head, and looked charming and adorable.

Suddenly, Li Tianyi swept her up in a princess carry, saying, "See how I deal with you!"

(The following is omitted: 20,000 words)

...

The following morning.

As soon as Li Tianyi opened his eyes, the system voice came: "Ding! Crimson Gold Treasure Chest successfully opened. Rewards: 10 AKs, 50 .40 rifles, 20 hand grenades, 10 tactical knives, 1 special forces training manual, 5 sets of special operations uniforms, 1 radio, and 1 battlefield vehicle!"

"Ding! The item has been automatically stored in the system space and can be retrieved at any time!"

Hahaha……
