Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint-Chapter 303 - 222: Blessing or Curse? (Part 2)

But this requires a cultivator to activate with spiritual power in order to purify on a large scale.

This function, under specific conditions, is still quite useful, capable of purifying some toxic gases and miasma.

However, Wang Hao has spiritual power to protect him, and now he is immune to all poisons. If needed, Xiaoyueyue has an oxygen tank.

This function is not very useful to him.

And Sun Yaoyao is not a cultivator; she doesn’t have spiritual power in her body, so this function is not usable for her.

She can only rely on the small Spirit Gathering Array inside to absorb some spiritual qi from outside, integrate it within, and exert some effects.

"Brother."

Sun Yaoyao clung on, tightly embracing Wang Hao, her body temperature rising rapidly, seemingly moved.

At this moment, Xiaoyueyue emerged.

She also hugged Wang Hao tightly, seemingly also...

Wang Hao shivered, suddenly losing interest.

After stuffing Xiaoyueyue into Sun Yaoyao’s arms, he went to sleep on the side.

Sun Yaoyao, annoyed, tickled this little light bulb, and the two girls started playing around.

Wang Hao looked at the ceiling, his eyes gradually becoming sharp.

The issue of stored materials and purchasing crystal stone weapons has basically been resolved.

All that’s left is to collect the items when the time comes.

Next is to solve the main objective this time, the source of the Blade of Plunder.

However, this matter shouldn’t be rushed; pulling one thread might affect everything. It must be well-planned.

...

The next day

Wang Hao sat in Sun Yaoyao’s car, leaving Lotus Pond Village.

He turned his head for a deep look at the village, wanting to imprint it deep in his mind.

Later, he probably won’t ever return.

This should be the final farewell.

It’s also a farewell to the past version of himself!

On the road, when passing a junction, Wang Hao noticed traces of battle.

The concrete road was shattered, surrounded by some body remnants and exploded cars.

It shows how fierce the previous fight was.

"Seems like there’s really hijacking going on."

Wang Hao glanced sideways at Sun Yaoyao: "Yaoyao, is that batch of materials alright?"

Although the items have already been handed over.

But after all, they are his materials. If they were really robbed, then he wouldn’t feel right about asking for the previously discussed things.

Even if he wanted them, he would need to ask for a big discount.

"No, this time many skilled individuals were deployed, and troops were arranged to support, the materials were successfully delivered."

Sun Yaoyao said with a smile.

"Even if they rob such a large batch of materials, what can they do? Where would they hide it? Can they digest it?"

Wang Hao seemed a bit confused.

If it were crystal stones, that’s understandable since they’re small and easy to carry.

But these are food!

They occupy a lot of space, are not easy to hide, and are difficult to sell.

"Brother, the forces in the Settlement Camp are complex, including not only civilian strength but also official factions."

Sun Yaoyao’s expression grew somewhat serious.

"Oh? Tell me more."

"The current City Lord of the Settlement Camp is Ji Aimin, who was previously the top official in Su Jing. The military affairs are under my uncle, the City Defense Army Commander."

Sun Yaoyao sighed and continued:

"Originally, my uncle had absolute control with military power, and the City Lord only had some special police, unable to compete with my uncle.

But with the emergence of superpower users, this setup was disrupted. Ji Aimin’s team has several superpower users, and citizens’ thinking has solidified.

Many are willing to follow Ji Aimin, plus Ji Aimin is good at winning people’s hearts, so he has more superpower users than my uncle.

Many powerful superpower users are on his side, so although he is not as strong as my uncle, he can already compete."

"Oh? You mean..."

Wang Hao’s eyes flickered with insight.

Sun Yaoyao shrugged, somewhat helplessly saying:

"The power struggles among these leaders are bothersome. Let’s go home quickly; it’s safer at home."

She has never been fond of the Settlement Camp.

She didn’t like it before, and she doesn’t like it now.

The internal struggles are too fierce, everyone has to take sides, and if one faction falls, everyone suffers.

This is one of the main reasons she chose to stay with Wang Hao from the beginning.

"Quite interesting!"

Wang Hao’s eyes flickered.

The Settlement Camp’s official side is not an unbreakable unity, which for him, is good news.

...

Settlement Camp, inner city.

High city walls towered, with soldiers fully armed at the city gate.

The defense level is much higher than the outer city.

Those who live here are the elite among elites.

They’re either scientists or superpower users, some are elite-level talents, along with their families and such.

As a member of the Chen Family, Wang Hao naturally has the right to enter the inner city.

The inner city is not as Wang Hao imagined with a bustling marketplace full of people.

There are villa clusters here with hot springs included.

Some commercial real estate is also present.

Below, in storefronts, stores are operating, mostly focused on food, they are official operations.

Of course, there are five-star hotels, equipped with KTVs, nightclubs, and such entertainment venues.

Inside, there is also a large shopping mall offering various clothes, jewelry, snacks, cigarettes, etc.

It somewhat resembles a city district in a civilized society.

These places, Wang Hao is somewhat familiar with, not being too far from his home.

The car drove directly into the villa complex, winding its way to a standalone villa.

"Brother, this is where my cousin lives. We’ll stay here temporarily. Later we’ll go out to explore.

There are many good things outside."

Sun Yaoyao opened the door, leading them to the living room.

"Wow! Fruits!"

Xiaoyueyue immediately spotted the fruit platter on the table, containing various fruits, and not just one kind.

"Watermelon!"

Xiaoyueyue picked up a slice of watermelon and started eating.

"With greenhouse cultivation technology, the fruits planted earlier have gradually matured."

Sun Yaoyao smiled as she walked over and patted Little Tun Tun’s head:

"But these are not necessities, and the output is very small. Once harvested, they’re divided up, very rarely available outside."

Wang Hao came over, also picked up a watermelon slice, and popped it into his mouth.

Sweet and delicious!

Delicious!

He wondered if it was an illusion.

Wang Hao felt this tasted better than pre-apocalyptic watermelon.

"Hehe, brother, can you taste it too?"

Sun Yaoyao laughed.

"Hmm, is this some high-tech?"

Wang Hao asked curiously.

"Not really high-tech, it’s because of the spiritual qi."

Sun Yaoyao’s expression turned serious:

"The invasion of the Otherworld brought not only ghouls but also spiritual qi.

These fruits and vegetables are nourished by spiritual power, and this is just the beginning. As time passes, even ordinary fruits might turn into spirit fruits."

"Oh? That’s nice!"

Wang Hao’s eyes showed surprise but soon understood.

He had already discovered the presence of spiritual qi in the air.

Though thin, it’s slowly nourishing all things.

As time goes on, human lifespans might even significantly increase.

There could be a vast emergence of people with spirit roots.

Considering this, the apocalypse might not be purely a bad thing.

"We’ll buy some seedlings too, grow our own to eat."

Wang Hao took a bunch of grapes, sat on the sofa, and started eating.

With wealth, connections, and land, he intends to enjoy a high-quality life.

"I’ve already taken care of it, hehe, don’t worry about this."

Sun Yaoyao chuckled; she loves fruits too!

Upon tasting the fruits, she made arrangements for contact right away.

Once back at the villa district, she’ll start her orchard.

"Ring ring."

At this moment, the villa’s phone rang.

Sun Yaoyao answered, said a few words, and returned with a furrowed brow.

Wang Hao: "What’s wrong? Something up?"

"My uncle wants to see you."

Sun Yaoyao helplessly looked at Wang Hao.

She knew Wang Hao’s personality well; he doesn’t like socializing and is afraid of trouble.

"Alright! Let’s meet!"

Wang Hao agreed outright.

It surprised Sun Yaoyao and then moved her.

Her eyes carried a slight mist.

Is Wang Hao doing this for her?

He surely is!
