Chapter 29: Invited to Another Stronghold

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Invited to Another Stronghold

Another barrier?

Upon hearing this, Ye Yunyi immediately looked at what his adjutant was handing him!

It was a mutated pigeon!

Compared to pre-apocalypse pigeons, its body was larger and its wings were broader.

Other than that, not much had changed.

Seeing Ye Yunyi staring blankly at the pigeon, Bai Zhixi explained, "These are mutated pigeons from after the apocalypse. They’re trained to carry messages between barriers."

Ye Yunyi considered this.

He then took the bird.

He removed the message from its leg.

And read it.

"It’s from the Seaside Barrier."

Ye Yunyi said slowly, still looking at the message.

The Seaside Barrier?

At those words,

the Han Family Sisters’ eyes immediately lit up!

After all, they were from the Han Family of the Seaside Barrier!

But previously, Zhang Qiang and his gang had not only robbed the Han Family but had also abducted them!

It was all thanks to meeting Ye Yunyi!

Otherwise, their fate would have been unimaginable!

Hearing this, Bai Zhixi also came over to look.

The message itself didn’t contain much information.

It just asked Bai Zhixi to come for a meeting to discuss some matters.

"The City Lord of the Seaside Barrier, Dongfang Ruoyu, is an Early-Golden Stage Mutant! The Seaside Barrier’s strength is in a league of its own among the barriers in this area, so it has gradually become the leader of the surrounding barriers."

Bai Zhixi said with a smile on her face, "However, our barrier should be the strongest among them all now."

"Alright then. Since we’re invited, we might as well go and see what it’s about." Ye Yunyi put the message away.

"Zhixi, you’ll come with me."

"Okay."

Just as Bai Zhixi finished speaking, the Han Family Sisters came over.

Their faces were filled with anxiety and hope.

"Honey, can... can we go with you?"

"Hmm?" Ye Yunyi looked at the two of them. "What’s wrong?"

Han Bingxue bit her lip. "We used to live in the Seaside Barrier, but Zhang Qiang and his group robbed our Han Family and abducted us."

"We... we’d like to take this chance to go back to the Seaside Barrier, to see our father and let him know we’re still alive."

"He probably thinks we’re already dead by now."

"Honey, please? Can we?"

"Of course you can." Ye Yunyi looked at the two of them. "You should have said so earlier. Why hide it from me?"

"Really?!"

In an instant, hearing Ye Yunyi’s words, their faces filled with excitement.

’Can we... can we really go home and visit?’

Of course, they knew they belonged to Ye Yunyi now, but this time, they could go back to see their father and the rest of their family.

And they could let them know they were still alive, so they wouldn’t have to worry anymore.

"What about the rest of you? Do you want to go?"

Ye Yunyi then looked toward Zhou Huaiwei and the others,

asking for their opinions.

Zhou Huaiwei thought about it. ’In this post-apocalyptic world, the barriers are probably quite far apart, and the roads are all either derelict or destroyed.’

’Traveling between them would be extremely risky.’

’Even though Honey is incredibly strong, if we were to encounter real danger, a normal person like me would just be a burden.’

"I think I’ll stay here. I’m not a Mutant, and unlike the two sisters, it’s not my home. I’ll just wait here for you to return."

After Zhou Huaiwei spoke, the others also shook their heads.

Ye Yunyi looked at them and considered it. ’I could take the Crimson Flame Tiger. Its intimidating aura would save us a lot of trouble on the way.’

’But if I take the Crimson Flame Tiger...’

’...and with both me and Bai Zhixi gone...’

’...the barrier will be left vulnerable.’

As Ye Yunyi was thinking, Little Heizi ran over, nudging him for pets.

In that instant, Ye Yunyi looked at it, and his eyes lit up!

’Of course! How could I have forgotten about him!’

’An Early-Golden Stage, and a Moon-Devouring Celestial Wolf at that!’

He immediately pulled Zhou Huaiwei aside.

"The barrier’s defenses will be weaker while we’re gone.

If anything happens,

keep this little guy with you.

Don’t be fooled by his appearance; he’s a powerful Exotic Beast."

Ye Yunyi said, pointing at Little Heizi beside them.

As if he understood Ye Yunyi’s words, Little Heizi immediately lifted his head.

He had an indignant look on his face.

’What do you mean, "don’t be fooled by his appearance"?’

’What kind of appearance?’

’Huh?’

Zhou Huaiwei crouched down and stroked Little Heizi. "Honey, he doesn’t seem as powerful as those leopards."

Hearing this, Little Heizi just rolled his eyes.

"He’s different."

Ye Yunyi whispered in Zhou Huaiwei’s ear, "This little guy... he’s a powerful Early-Golden Stage Exotic Beast!"

Though his voice was a mere whisper,

his words struck Zhou Huaiwei’s ears like a clap of thunder!

She froze, staring at Little Heizi with a look of utter disbelief.

What?!

’What... what did Honey just say?!’

’Him?’

’He’s a powerful Early-Golden Stage Exotic Beast?!’

Huh?!

This thing?!

’This little thing is Early-Golden Stage?!’

「Meanwhile...」

The Han Family Sisters pouted as they watched Ye Yunyi whispering with Zhou Huaiwei. "Little Sister Bai, look! Honey is sharing secrets with Sister Zhou!"

"And he’s leaving us out!"

After he was done, Ye Yunyi looked at Bai Zhixi and the Han Family Sisters. "Let’s go!"

After getting ready,

the group set off!

They arrived at the city gate!

Ye Yunyi walked up to the Crimson Flame Tiger.

The beast was still lying there, sleeping.

Ye Yunyi gave it a pat.

The Crimson Flame Tiger wrinkled its massive nose, its eyes flaring with anger as it looked up.

It looked ready to tear apart whoever had disturbed its peaceful slumber!

But the next moment...

...it saw Ye Yunyi!

The tiger shot to its feet!

And bowed its head in submission!

Then, Ye Yunyi put his arm around Han Bingyu.

With a single leap, he jumped directly onto the Crimson Flame Tiger’s back.

Bai Zhixi did the same, pulling Han Bingxue up onto the tiger with her.

Then, the Crimson Flame Tiger took off into the distance!

It broke into a full sprint!

Ye Yunyi could feel the wind whistling past his ears!

As they looked at the passing scenery, they found it was almost too desolate to bear.

The old roads were abandoned and crumbling!

All kinds of plants burst forth from the ground!

The skyscrapers of the past had been turned to ruins by the encroaching vegetation!

Rubble and debris were piled up everywhere!

The Han Family Sisters watched, having rarely seen the world outside a barrier.

An immense sadness filled their hearts.

Ye Yunyi patted the Crimson Flame Tiger again.

The Crimson Flame Tiger’s speed kicked up another Level!

It charged toward the Seaside Barrier!

「At the same time!」

At the gate of the Seaside Barrier.

A woman in a qipao stood at the entrance, the black dress a stark contrast to her fair skin.

A pair of long, slender legs!

An exquisitely curvaceous figure!

And a face that could topple nations!

She was absolutely mesmerizing!

The woman stood at the gate,

watching the City Lords from the other barriers arrive in the distance.

A smile touched her lips as she gracefully moved forward, heading toward the arriving crowd!
