Li Tianyi quickly protected his vital organs and listened to the surrounding sounds.
"Ding! Silver treasure chest detected. Open it?"
At that moment, he found the system voice to be so friendly and pleasant.
"Silver Treasure Chest successfully opened. Obtained three Gatling guns, fifty boxes of ammunition, twenty submachine guns, and five thousand rounds of ammunition!"
"Ding! The host has opened the silver treasure chest for the first time and has been rewarded with an alloy city gate."
Note: This gate encompasses the city wall and multiple firing ports.
The items that came out of the silver treasure chest had already astonished Li Tianyi, but the system reward almost made him jump for joy; it was exactly what he wanted.
After happily cutting up the patterned python, they obtained over a thousand pounds of snake meat and a relatively intact snake skin.
"It's almost afternoon, I can't delay any longer, I have to go back as soon as possible, there are important things waiting for me!" Li Tianyi frowned slightly and headed back the way he came.
The journey was smooth.
Back at the main gate, they created an alloy city gate that rapidly expanded until it settled at about three meters.
Click click click!
The city gates extended outwards on both sides, quickly transforming into alloy city walls.
The city wall is ten meters wide on each side, with three hidden firing ports and a small warehouse for storing temporary ammunition.
"This system is amazing!"
Li Tianyi was in high spirits. He placed all the Gatling guns on the firing ports and pressed the remote control of the protective shield with satisfaction. A laser was moving half a meter outside the city gate.
The shelter was completely free of worries.
"Sister, heat the oil in the pot and cook the big snake!" Li Tian shouted as he walked.
Xiaoman and Wang Xueer peeked out of the training room window.
"Why is my brother acting so strangely?" Xiaoman blinked.
"I don't know either!" Wang Xue'er shrugged.
Li Tian waved to them and then took out a piece of snake meat from the system space, weighing several dozen kilograms.
The two women unconsciously took a step back. "What meat?"
"Snake meat!"
"You eat it, we won't!"
Women are naturally afraid of snakes, and this one is so big, no wonder they can't eat it.
"Oh well!"
Li Tianyi went straight to the kitchen, and soon a rich aroma wafted out.
As time goes by, the aroma becomes more intense, and the delicious flavor is created.
"Are you sure you don't want to try some?" Li Tianyi picked up a piece of stewed snake meat. "I've specially treated it; there's no strange smell!"
They hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to eat.
Li Tianyi carried the snake soup to Xiaoman's side and said, "Try a bite, and I'll give you something good!"
"What good stuff?" Xiaoman asked, her face full of disbelief.
"Drink it and I'll give it to you!" Li Tianyi said with a mysterious smile.
Xiaoman's curiosity was piqued. She pinched her nose, closed her eyes, and took a small sip. Her mouth immediately watered, and she exclaimed how delicious it was.
Li Tianyi slowly stepped aside, took out a tray from his system space, and quickly lit the candles on it.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...
Xiaoman stood there, tears welling in her eyes. "I... I thought you didn't remember!"
"I might forget anything, but I'll never forget your birthday!" Li Tianyi chuckled as he looked at her. "Make a wish, then blow out the candles!"
Xiaoman clasped her hands together and said, "May the end of the world pass soon, and may everyone be able to live well!"
The candles were blown out, and Li Tianyi and Wang Xueer simultaneously smeared some cream on her face.
Happy 16th birthday!
"Thank you, thank you!"
After her parents died, Xiaoman lived in fear every day. Fortunately, her brother gave up his studies to stay by her side. Just as her psychological trauma was beginning to heal, the apocalypse came. If it weren't for her strong will since childhood, she would have gone crazy long ago.
Today's scene has healed much of her bleeding heart, and her eyes are filled with longing for the future.
Li Tianyi was overjoyed and excitedly hugged her, sobbing uncontrollably, "It's all my fault for not protecting you. I'm so sorry, so sorry!"
"No, you are the best brother in the world!" Xiaoman choked up, hugging him tightly.
Wang Xueer also cried uncontrollably, her mind filled with images of her family.
Li Tianyi was the first to calm himself down. He pulled Wang Xueer into his arms and said softly, "When we become strong, we'll go find your parents, okay?"
"Okay!" Wang Xue'er wiped away her tears, gently pushed him away, and forced a smile. "Today is my little sister's birthday. We should be happy. Come on, let's cut the cake!"
"Mmm!" Xiaoman wiped away her tears and took a plastic knife to cut the cake.
The cake was made by Li Tianyi behind their backs at night. It wasn't particularly delicious, but it wasn't bad either. However, the three of them thought it was the best cake they had ever eaten in their lives, and it was exceptionally sweet.
They were so full after eating the cake, but they still had happy smiles on their faces.
Li Tianyi slowly walked to Xiaoman's side and took out an exquisite box from his pocket. "The cake from earlier was a birthday present, but this is a coming-of-age gift!"
People in the mountains are different from those in the city. Women are considered adults when they turn sixteen and have to help their families shoulder the burden of the household before they get married.
Xiaoman choked up again, slowly opened the box, inside was a sterling silver bracelet.
"Sister-in-law, please put this on for you!" Wang Xue'er was happy for her too.
"What a beautiful bracelet!" Xiaoman exclaimed excitedly, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the small words on the bracelet clasp: Yiman!
This is a little secret between her and her brother. '一' represents Li Tianyi, and '曼' represents Xiaoman. The two characters represent their deep sibling bond.
After this incident, the three of them became so close that they could talk about anything. Li Tianyi even told them about the treasure chest system.
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Wang Xueer was fiddling with the radio in her room when suddenly a shrill female cry for help came from it.
The screams were terrified, accompanied by the sound of high heels and whimpering.
"Brother Tian, Xiaoman, come quick!" Wang Xueer shouted.
Li Tianyi and Xiaoman rushed over, "What's wrong?"
Listen!
The sound was unclear, with too much background noise. You could barely make out a woman speaking in a panic, but you couldn't understand what she was saying.
Xiaoman frowned, listening intently.
"Why does she remind me of Sister Wanruo?" Xiaoman closed her eyes, trying to feel with her heart, and suddenly stood up. "It really is Sister Wanruo! I must go and save her!"
Li Tianyi grabbed her, his expression grave. "We don't know where she is, let alone how many demons are nearby. Going there rashly is no different from suicide."
“Brother Tian is right!” Wang Xue’er kept adjusting the channel, and the sound from the radio became clearer.
"You filthy bitch, it's your good fortune that Young Master Cao has taken a liking to you." A vicious middle-aged man's voice rang out. "You think we can't do anything to you just because you're hiding in your room?"
"Even if I die, I will not let you succeed!" Su Wanruo was terrified.
Li Tianyi's face was ashen, his anger rising to the top of his head. "You beasts! You even dared to touch Dr. Su! I swear I won't be a man if I don't wipe you all out!"
"Brother, take me with you!"
"Me too!"
Li Tianyi calmed down a bit and said, "Your strength is not enough right now. Stay at the base and train. I will definitely bring Dr. Su back!"
The two were very unwilling, but they had no choice but to comply.
