Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 100: Chapter 57: Treasure Land Key_1

”What is this?”

Wen Yu picked up the golden pointer in confusion, closely observing the patterns and lines on it.

The lines were regular, but with his knowledge and understanding of the post-apocalyptic world, this object was beyond the comprehension he had in his previous life.

If Guan Tao and others saw this pointer, they would definitely shout in excitement because this was the key to open the treasure land!

”What exactly is this?”

Wen Yu felt that this must be a treasure. Unfortunately, even when he held it in his hand, no hints were triggered in his mind.

The door opened with a CREAK, and Sun Ruixing walked in.

Wen Yu continued to inspect the pointer. Without turning his head, he asked Sun Ruixing, ”Have you arranged everything? These three Level 1 magic crystals are your share.”

Sun Ruixing, now unpretentious with Wen Yu, picked up the magic crystals nearby and started to absorb them.

The relationship between Wen Yu and Sun Ruixing had now developed a semblance of camaraderie! If Sun Ruixing could temper his temperament, Wen Yu wouldn’t mind having such a reliable person by his side!

”What’s that?” Sun Ruixing motioned with his mouth toward the pointer in Wen Yu’s hand.

”I don’t know. Why don’t you study it?”

Handing the pointer to Sun Ruixing, Wen Yu turned his head to look at Sun Aotian, who was lying on the ground, gesturing and playing.

That kid! As soon as he got the gun, he started playing special police cosplay!

Wen Yu massaged his forehead, unable to bear looking at Sun Aotian’s sloppy appearance. He shouted sternly at Sun Aotian, ”Get up quickly, pack your things! We’re going back to the camp.”

”Oh.” Sun Aotian pouted, clearly not having had enough fun. However, he didn’t say much. He just pulled down the curtain and used it to wrap up the weapons on the ground.

”Let’s go.” Seeing Sun Aotian packing less than half of the weapons, Wen Yu turned and walked downstairs.

”Wait, I think I’ve discovered something!”

Before they could even reach the staircase, Wen Yu heard Sun Ruixing shouting, ”Wen Yu, look! This is a pointer! It’s pointing to a location not far from us!”

After saying this, Sun Ruixing quickly walked over to Wen Yu and handed him the pointer.

Only then did Wen Yu observe the dial on the pointer.

Having lived two lives, Wen Yu relied far too much on the voice prompts from the Dominator in his mind during the post-apocalyptic world. He only thought about the Dominator’s guidance and never considered discovering something from an object’s inherent nature!

Now, as they moved, the pointer on the dial continuously changed direction.

”This is a first. Interesting.”

Wen Yu revealed a slight smile and immediately placed the pointer into his space ring.

”Let’s go. We’ll return to the camp first. Tomorrow, I’ll take you all to see what this thing signifies.”

Although Wen Yu was curious about the pointer’s function, he had too many burdens at present. Not to mention Sun Aotian, who was laden with weapons, even the newly rescued ”supplies” couldn’t be abandoned so easily! In the face of unknown situations, it was best to have some cannon fodder to scout the path and trigger traps. This was Wen Yu’s ultimate goal.

「Later, back at the camp」

Wen Yu didn’t need to bring up the pointer. Sun Aotian’s loose tongue had already revealed their treasure-hunting plans for the next day.

”Brother Wen Yu, could you bring a few more people tomorrow?” Zang Pengfei asked hesitantly, handing over two Level 2 attributeless magic crystals.

”Of course, no problem!”

Wen Yu took the magic crystals from Zang Pengfei without hesitation. Seeing Zang Pengfei’s pained expression, he instantly absorbed them, raising his physical stats to 42 points.

”But let me be clear: if there are any treasures, I take what I need first. Only what I don’t need will be yours!”

”Agreed, agreed!” Zang Pengfei patted his chest, completely agreeing with Wen Yu’s proposition.

”Well, it’s settled then!”

As Zang Pengfei left the room, a knowing glint flashed in Wen Yu’s eyes.

Pulling out the pointer, which pointed steadfastly towards the center of the town, a cryptic smile touched Wen Yu’s lips.

”Looks like it isn’t such a rare item after all. Even Zang Pengfei knows its purpose!”

「The night passed uneventfully.」

The next day, as soon as Wen Yu came downstairs, he saw that eighty percent of the professionists in the camp were ready to go.

Zang Pengfei was lying peacefully on a large deck chair near the staircase of Wen Yu’s residence, basking in the sun.

”Brother Wen Yu, did you sleep well?” Seeing Wen Yu emerge, Zang Pengfei stood up and greeted him with a smile.

Wen Yu gestured with his chin towards the fully armed professionists behind Zang Pengfei and said with a smile, ”Brother Fei, we’ve known each other for a while now. Care to explain this?”

”HAHA.” Zang Pengfei laughed heartily, wrapped an arm around Wen Yu’s neck, and said mysteriously, ”I must admit, Brother Wen Yu, I told you a little white lie yesterday. I recognize the pointer you got!”

”HEH, I could tell. If you didn’t recognize it, Brother Fei, you wouldn’t have handed over two Level 2 magic crystals just for me to lead people to ’take a look’.”

Wen Yu deliberately emphasized the words ”take a look.”

Zang Pengfei showed no signs of embarrassment as he continued, ”The object in your hand is a key—a key to open a treasure land. And treasure lands that appear this way are generally huge or Super Treasure Lands, with loads of good stuff inside. Moreover, there will always be things Brother Wen Yu won’t find useful. If I tag along behind you, Brother Wen Yu, and pick up some leftovers, you wouldn’t mind, right?”

Wen Yu looked Zang Pengfei up and down, his tone growing colder. ”I can lead people, yes. But remember this: what I can use is mine. Only what I can’t use will be yours. Don’t forget that!”

Zang Pengfei instantly realized that his deceit from yesterday had slightly irritated Wen Yu, so he immediately spoke reassuringly, ”Don’t worry, Brother Wen Yu! If there’s danger, we’ll go first. Anything Brother Wen Yu can use, I’ll offer it with both hands! Absolutely no arguments!”

Wen Yu nodded. ”Good, as long as you understand my bottom line. I hope you don’t do anything that forces me to turn hostile. Believe me, when I get angry, even I’m scared of myself.”

Facing Wen Yu’s blatant threat, a flash of anger crossed Zang Pengfei’s eyes and vanished instantly.

Ignoring Zang Pengfei’s feelings, Wen Yu took out the pointer and headed in the direction it indicated.

Behind him followed Zang Pengfei, Sun Aotian, Sun Ruixing, and more than a hundred professionists from the camp.
