Everyone present heard Yang Yitian call him "Big Brother," but since Yang Yitian was focused on healing Yang Yijie's injuries, they dared not disturb him.
Yang Yitian channeled his spiritual energy into Yang Yijie's body, then absorbed the bullets from his body. He then applied medicine to him.
Yang Yitian detected signs of spiritual energy circulating within Yang Yijie's body, so he took out a pill and put it into Yang Yijie's mouth, which quickly repaired the damage to Yang Yijie's internal organs.
These pills are for those in the Qi Refining stage. Yang Yijie is an esper, which is equivalent to a Qi Refining stage cultivator, only their cultivation methods are somewhat different.
Although Yang Yijie's injuries were recovering rapidly, he had fallen into a deep sleep due to exhaustion caused by his previous injuries.
Yang Yitian put the person on the sofa to rest, while the other injured people had already applied their own medicine.
After tending to his wounds, the tall, fat man stepped forward and said, "Brothers, my name is Zhang Hong. Thank you so much for your help this time. We don't have much to repay you with, but if we can get back to the base, we will definitely repay you properly."
Yang Yitian wasn't very interested in their talk of repayment: "Forget it, I'm not interested in your things."
Zhang Hong said, "If there's anything I can help with, just say so. I, Zhang Hong, will go through fire and water to help."
Yang Yitian thought about it and didn't refuse immediately. Maybe there was something he really needed their help with. For example, he didn't know the situation on Earth, and it would be best to learn about the current situation from these people.
Zhang Hong asked, "I just heard you call Yang Yijie 'Big Brother'? Are you related?" He knew that Yang Yijie had a younger sister and a younger brother, but unfortunately, his brother had died a few years ago.
Unable to explain his own situation, Yang Yitian made up an identity, saying, "I am my eldest brother's cousin, but we are quite distant relatives, separated by three generations."
"So that's how it is. We're really destined to meet." Zhang Hong was somewhat pleased. Since this person was Yang Yijie's relative, he certainly wouldn't be hostile to them.
Yang Yitian said, "I went into the mountains with a Taoist priest a few years ago. I never expected that such a big change would happen when I came down from the mountain. Could you tell me about it?"
Zhang Hong was surprised that Yang Yitian had such a past, and immediately recounted the events of the past few years.
Five years have passed since Yang Yitian's death, which is much shorter than the ten years Yang Yitian had imagined.
Two years after Yang Yitian's death, a force impacted Earth, leading to the apocalypse. Humans changed; some couldn't withstand the force and became zombies, others remained ordinary people, and still others became superhumans.
Humans established bases to provide a relatively safe haven for the remaining humans.
After learning that Yang Yitian was a Taoist priest from the mountain, they automatically provided an explanation for the hemostatic powder he took out.
After their injuries had healed somewhat, Zhang Hong said, "This city is probably not safe. Let's leave here tomorrow morning. We probably can't leave today. The people who want to kill us are probably still guarding outside. They won't be leaving today."
Yang Yitian thought to himself, "Are the people chasing you outside your enemies?" He remembered that group of people who were hunting down his elder brother; those were his enemies.
Zhang Hong nodded and said, "That's right! We originally came out together to do a mission, but those people suddenly attacked us and drove us into this city."
Yang Yitian frowned and said to everyone, "I'm going out to check the situation. You all rest first."
Yang Yitian wanted to go out and bring those people back, but Qi Zhiheng stopped him, saying, "Wait, you wait here, I'll go and deal with them for you."
"Good!" Yang Yitian was very confident in Qi Zhiheng's abilities, not to mention that Qi Zhiheng's clothes were magical artifacts, which could stop even if the enemy had guns.
Qi Zhiheng returned ten minutes later, holding a rope with about ten people tied to it.
They were tied up like rice dumplings, their mouths gagged. Qi Zhiheng dragged them along and threw them into the living room of the house.
Seeing that Zhang Hong and the others were still alive, those who had been captured stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
When Zhang Hong first saw Qi Zhiheng dragging so many people in, he was a little surprised, but he soon felt a sense of satisfaction. The situation of these people perfectly illustrated what it means to "change the wheel of fortune".
Zhang Hong and his group even swaggered around in front of the dozen or so people, with a hint of swagger.
However, they really didn't expect Qi Zhiheng to have such abilities. The way everyone looked at Qi Zhiheng changed, and they looked at him with a bit of respect.
Yang Yitian suddenly felt a little cheated. If he had been the one who went out just now, then he would have been the one receiving such admiring glances.
"What do you want to do with these people?" Qi Zhiheng asked.
Zhang Hong and the others remained silent. Although they were victims, they were too weak to say anything.
However, it wouldn't be good not to reply, so Zhang Hong said, "Why don't we wait until Yi Jie wakes up first? That pretty boy used to be on good terms with Yi Jie, but I didn't expect him to stab us in the back. In my opinion, it's best to let Yi Jie deal with them." The pretty boy he mentioned was the one who looked the most delicate among the group, with very fair skin and a very pretty appearance.
Yang Yitian agreed, nodding and saying, "You're right, let's wait until my brother wakes up before we talk about it." After he finished speaking, he carried Yang Yijie into the room, while the others found their own rooms in the house.
Yang Yijie didn't wake up until the next morning. Yang Yitian was already waiting by his side. When he saw Yang Yijie wake up, he exclaimed in surprise, "Big brother! You're awake!"
Yang Yijie had just woken up and was still a little dizzy. When he saw Yang Yitian, he thought he was dreaming and muttered, "What kind of dream did I have again..." Then he lay back down.
Yang Yitian: "..."
"Big brother, get up quickly." Yang Yitian shook Yang Yijie's shoulder, waking him up from his drowsy state.
"Brother, it really is me. Snap out of it and let me explain." Yang Yitian helped the man up.
Yang Yijie's injuries had actually been healed, and now that he was woken up, he was fully awake.
Upon seeing Yang Yitian, he instinctively became wary: "Who are you?"
Yang Yitian said, "Big brother, I am Yitian."
Yang Yijie became even more wary and moved further into the bed: "My brother died a few years ago. Don't you find it funny to use such a flimsy excuse?"
Yang Yitian said, "Big brother, when you were eight years old, the back of your pants had a big hole, but none of us noticed. Then you wore those pants to school and the kids at school stared at you for a long time."
Yang Yijie's face immediately turned red, and he said, "This is nothing, many people from my school know this!"
Yang Yitian thought for a moment and then said, "You're nine years old and you still wet the bed?"
Yang Yijie was even angrier when his embarrassing secret was exposed again: "Who knows if you have some kind of sorcery that allows you to know about my brother's affairs?"
Yang Yitian said nonchalantly, "Big brother, you don't need to get so angry. Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? Besides, I'm quite capable now, I wouldn't bother lying to you."
Hearing that familiar tone, Yang Yijie hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "Who knows what you're thinking?"
Yang Yitian said, "Brother, let me tell you about my experience."
Yang Yijie remained silent, waiting for Yang Yitian's explanation.
Yang Yitian didn't intend to wait for Yang Yijie to fully trust him; he was too lazy to get entangled with his older brother on such a trivial matter.
He began to explain: "Back then, my surgery failed, and I died. You would never guess, but I woke up after I died! Then I found myself in a different place..."
He described in detail how he married someone from another world, married Qi Zhiheng, and began cultivating. He also recounted how he broke through the void to return to Earth after obtaining the method to return.
Yang Yijie felt like he was listening to gibberish, muttering to himself, "This is impossible..."
Yang Yitian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Nothing is impossible. The apocalypse is here, what else is impossible?"
Yang Yijie had already come to believe that Yang Yitian was his younger brother. Just as Yang Yitian had said, he had almost died yesterday, and he had nothing that anyone could possibly want.
Yang Yitian said, "Brother, I told your companions that I am your cousin who is three generations removed. Don't let it slip when you go out later."
Yang Yijie nodded and said, "I understand." He was very happy to know that his younger brother was not dead, but for a moment he forgot what kind of expression he should wear when facing his brother who had come back from the dead.
Yang Yitian told Yang Yijie that they had captured those who were chasing them yesterday and let him deal with them himself.
Yang Yitian and Yang Yijie went outside, where Qi Zhiheng had prepared food and was waiting for them to come out.
Yang Yitian introduced Qi Zhiheng to Yang Yijie: "This is my Daoist partner, Qi Zhiheng."
Yang Yijie's eyes widened, unable to accept that his younger brother had a male partner. Fortunately, it was the apocalypse, and many men, unable to find women, ended up with other men. This made it a little easier for him to accept.
Qi Zhiheng nodded: "Big brother."
"Hmm." Yang Yijie was still a little awkward, but he knew that Qi Zhiheng was actually quite good to Yang Yitian, so he couldn't find anything to criticize.
The people who were tied together were left on the ground.
Yang Yijie glanced at the group of people before Qi Zhiheng interrupted him, "Let's eat first. These people won't run away. We can deal with them after we finish eating."
They weren't short of food, so they invited Yang Yijie and his companions to have a meal together.
In the apocalypse, when people are short of food and clothing, their eyes light up when they see so much food. They want to refuse but can't bear to, so they sit down and eat together.
The food in Qi Zhiheng's hands was originally spirit rice and spirit vegetables, and the group ate it ravenously, even Yang Yijie looked very satisfied.
