Chapter 139: The First Question on the Way North

  Alcohol may numb the nerves, making people forget all their unpleasantness, troubles and pressures, but when the alcohol wears off, people regain their clarity of mind and have to face everything again, because this is reality, cruel, shameless and unreasonable reality!

  Wu Xiaotian stood in the bathroom, looking at the man in the mirror who had just woken up from a hangover. He smiled bitterly and washed away his fatigue with water. Although Wu Xiaotian could use his physical strength to drive out the alcohol with his electric powers, he wouldn't get drunk as long as his powers didn't run out. But if he did that, what's the point of drinking?

  Walking out of the bathroom, coming to the living room, found that Yu and Zhao Xinyu had already returned from learning martial arts with Xiaoming, now sitting on the sofa, discussing and exchanging their own experiences and insights in learning martial arts for the past few days. Seeing Wu Xiaotian come in, he just pulled out a cigarette from the cigarette box and threw it to Wu Xiaotian.

  "Bang!"

  The sparks on the lighter danced, igniting the cigarette that was worth a fortune before the apocalypse. If it were before the apocalypse, Wu Xiaotian could only sigh at the price and continue buying the cigarettes he had been smoking for nearly five years. But now it's the end of the world, anything you can find is yours, these ownerless objects are yours, no matter what they are, from planes and cannons to a lighter, as long as you can find them and use them, they're yours.

  "It's not just talk, that Master Xia's skills are really not to be covered up!" Zhao Xinyu said after exhaling a mouthful of smoke, facing the segment of the mountain: "Moreover, I found that the Tai Chi he taught me is different from what those old people practice in the square. The moves feel more exquisite, and the boxing intent is thicker!"

  "Ah, I have that feeling too!" Duan Yue raised the cup in his hand and drank the tea inside before turning to Wu Xiaotian who was sitting beside him with a smile: "Xiaotian, why don't you go learn martial arts from Master Xia?"

  Wu Xiaotian heard Duan Yue's question and chuckled: "Tai Chi Fist, Tai Chi Sword, Xingyiquan are all exquisite and very effective against enemies. Among them, Tai Chi Fist and Xingyiquan are two of the three major internal martial arts of China, but I don't have much talent in fist or sword techniques, haha."

  "Good grief!" Duan Yue looked at Wu Xiaotian, shaking his head in dismay. He knew that Wu Xiaotian had no natural talent for martial arts, let alone swordplay. In contrast, he and Zhao Xinyu were both naturally gifted in these areas. It was clear that people's talents differed, as did their learning efficiency. Take Duan Yue himself, for example - after just three days of studying swordplay, he had grasped the essence of the Three Flavors technique. Zhao Xinyu was similar, seeming to have been born for Tai Chi boxing; with just one day's practice, his movements were already precise and elegant. This might also be related to his evolutionary abilities.

  As for Zhao Xin Yu's evolution ability, everyone was extremely curious, and Wu Xiao Tian was also very curious. However, when they asked Zhao Xin Yu about it, he always kept them in suspense, saying that they would find out during their next battle.

  Wu Xiaotian seemed to have thought of something and smiled at the two: "Right, you guys need to quickly upgrade your cultivation level. Zi Ling still has several ancient martial arts waiting for you!"

  As soon as the purple spirit was mentioned, Zhao Xinyu's face turned angry. He still resented that he had only been able to bring out a third-rate initial-stage strength back then. Now he really wanted to call out the purple spirit and ask how strong it was now, but even Wu Xiaotian couldn't summon it at will, so he could only give up.

  At this time, Tang Jiajia's figure appeared in the living room, only to see her wearing an apron at this time, with a tray in her hand, and three bowls of steaming hot beef noodles on the tray, which made Wu Xiaotian and others move their fingers.

  "Big Brother Tian, Duan Ge, Zhao Ge, it's time for breakfast!" Tang Jiajia said as she placed a bowl of noodles with the most beef and thickest broth in front of Wu Xiaotian. The two onlookers couldn't help but roll their eyes because the bowls in front of them only had four or five slices of beef, while Wu Xiaotian's bowl... it was better not to mention, lest they feel heartbroken.

  Duan Yue and Zhao Xinyu didn't say anything, but someone else did. Yang Ling, who was rubbing his belly and walking into the living room, said with a smile: "Indeed, people are different, and so is their treatment!"

  "Don't give me that look, you know I went up myself to eat, while you guys just took advantage of someone's kindness and had Xiaotang personally deliver breakfast over." Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, Tang Jiajia's face turned bright red with embarrassment as she hugged the tray and ran out of the living room, leaving behind Yang Ling's sly smile.

  "Wu Xiaotian looked at Tang Jiajia, who had run out of the living room, and whispered in a voice that only a few people could hear: 'Sorry, Jiajia, I already have Liu Ting!'"

  Turning his head to look at Yang Ling, Wu Xiaotian asked: "What about Zi Teng and the others?"

  "Zi Teng said it's too boring at home, so he took Xiao Yu and a few others to go find supplies." Yang Ling slowly said: "How can they just meet up and want to set off?"

  "Yes, I want to go north as soon as possible, but I don't know how many of the more than 60 people will be able to follow me north to find their relatives!"

  Duan Yue and the others stopped their chopsticks when they heard Wu Xiaotian's words, and in unison said to Wu Xiaotian: "Others, we don't know, but we will definitely go north with you!"

  "Don't look at me, anyway I'm Lai Ding Tian's kid now. As long as Tian Xiaozi goes there, I'll follow him to grab a meal!" Yang Ling lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "We don't care about others, my brothers will definitely go north together!"

  "Thank you..."

  "Come on, stop being sarcastic!"

  Wu Xiaotian hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by the three of them, Wu Xiaotian could only put this feeling in his heart and said: "Alright, I won't say anything else, wait until Ziteng comes back, I'll announce the matter of going north to everyone!"

  "Ah, those who are willing to follow us are probably only Dahe, Lengzi, Li Siyun and them. As for the others, I don't know." Duan Yue couldn't help but tease Wu Xiaotian a little, and then he said: "Tang Jiajia will definitely follow us too, so you can rest assured, Xiaotian!"

  "Roll..." Duan Yue and the two of them laughed and picked up the breakfast in front of them, running out of the living room, also taking Yang Ling who was laughing with them, leaving only Wu Xiaotian sitting alone in the living room.

  Looking at the few people leaving, Wu Xiaotian smiled slightly, but immediately thought of them going north, how many people would follow them? Liu Ting didn't need to be said, she would definitely follow Wu Xiaotian. Li Tian, Shen Qing, and Li Yiyi, the three earliest survivors rescued by Wu Xiaotian, also didn't need consideration. Dahe, Dumb, and Xiaoming wouldn't need much thought either, they would also follow Wu Xiaotian north. The problem now was Xu Min and those survivors rescued by Du Ziteng!
