I Open Treasure Chests in the Apocalypse

When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 52 Joining the Team

After hearing this, Jiang Yuan looked at Ning Yanlan and then whispered, "Four people aren't much of a threat. What do you think?"

With one Tier 3 and three Tier 2, this lineup doesn't pose much of a threat to Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan.

"Why don't we go with them?" Ning Yanlan suggested tentatively.

"Be more confident! You're the boss now!" Jiang Yuan said meaningfully. In front of others, he was just someone who hadn't yet awakened his spiritual power. It was so comfortable to be an obedient follower.

"Uh!" Ning Yanlan winked at Jiang Yuan, then turned to Zhu Penghai and the others, "Then we'll join your team! But how will the supplies be distributed?"

"You're joking, young lady. The warehouse is so big, you can take as much as you want without having to divide it up!" Zhu Penghai said cheerfully.

"My name is Xu Lian, and this is Jiang Yuan!" Ning Yanlan used the name Xu Lian again. Anyway, this name is very common, and it wouldn't be a big problem even if tens of thousands of people had the same name.

As for Jiang Yuan, he had no need to hide his identity.

"My name is Zhu Penghai!" Zhu Penghai smiled slightly and then introduced the three people beside him, "This is Zhou Guang! And Qian Kai and Xiang Yeyun, they are also a couple, just like you!"

"Hello!" Xiang Yeyun greeted them first.

Perhaps because Zhu Penghai and Zhou Guang were older, Qian Kai and Xiang Yeyun were more outgoing and quickly became like friends.

"You two are really quite strange. The man hasn't even awakened his spiritual power yet, but the woman is already at the third level!" Qian Kai said without any malice.

"Qian Kai, can't you speak properly!" Xiang Yeyun slapped Qian Kai's arm and said, "Ignore him, this guy can't talk!"

"It's alright, it's the truth!" Jiang Yuan said dismissively. Awakening one's spirit is inevitable, and he wouldn't be ashamed of not having it yet.

Ning Yanlan was unhappy to hear this. She explained, "Jiang Yuan is actually very strong. It's just that he gave me all the Holy Spirit Stones, and that's how I reached the third tier!"

"Look at other people!" Xiang Yeyun glared at Qian Kai.

"By the way, isn't the South City supposed to be a big city? I haven't seen anyone out these past two days!" Jiang Yuan asked, taking advantage of the improved relationship.

Qian Kai's expression changed, and then he said, "Who would dare to come out in this world? There are powerful monsters everywhere. Are you just going to come out and die?"

“Most people are waiting for the warlord of Nancheng to unify Nancheng and then continue the peaceful and prosperous era of the past!” Xiang Yeyun added.

"Where are all those people who came here to seek refuge?" Jiang Yuan asked with concern.

"Those people had no fixed abode, and the South City couldn't free up enough space all at once. To avoid riots, the warlords put them all together in a camp on the outskirts of the South City! But it wasn't a good place there, because it was close to the wild, so there were a lot of monsters."

Qian Kai shook his head and said, "I heard that the monsters attacked a couple of days ago, and the camp lost tens of thousands of people. If it weren't for a large number of troops suppressing the monsters, very few of them would have survived!"

"This South City is so big, why put people in the suburbs?" Jiang Yuan wondered. Since he came to the South City, he found that there was no crowd of people as he had imagined. Instead, it was much quieter.

"I don't know, maybe there are other arrangements!" Qian Kai said.

Just then, Zhu Penghai spoke up, "South City isn't safe. Relying solely on the army for protection isn't enough. The warlords deliberately placed people there to train them. In the apocalypse, a city's safety depends on its internal strength. Only with sufficient power can a city withstand the monster tide!"

"Besides, do you really think we're enjoying ourselves in the city?" Zhu Penghai said with a stern smile.

"Brother, do you know anything inside information?" Jiang Yuan asked if he didn't understand. Anyway, they were all on the same team now, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

“In three days, the Holy Spirit Temple outside the South City will be built, and then there will be a battle to defend the South City!” Zhu Penghai glanced at the group and said, “No one can avoid it. Even if we don’t participate in the battle, we will still have to stay in the South City to rebuild.”

"Three days later!" Jiang Yuan murmured. It was indeed the case. Today was the seventh day. The note left by Little Fatty stated that the Holy Spirit Temple would descend within ten days and sweep away anything within its area.

"And it's not just the Holy Spirit Temple! Yesterday, someone obtained the unique cultivation technique in the South City, and many powerful individuals have already begun heading there, ready to seize it!" Zhou Guang sighed. "In this world without order, the gathering of powerful individuals is not a good thing! At least, not for the weak!"

"Who cares if they live or die! If you don't dare to take the first step, how can you talk about the future!" Zhu Penghai scoffed.

"A strong person! What level has the strongest person in Nancheng reached now?" Jiang Yuan asked the question that he most wanted to know the answer to.
