"What the heck, it really is!"
Ye Feng looked in the direction pointed by Xiao Xiao and immediately noticed several parachutes falling from the sky, each with a treasure chest suspended beneath it. Two of them gleamed like crystals, truly diamond chests... There were also several gold chests...
Immediately, a glow flashed in Ye Feng's hand as he took out his survivor bracelet, gently stroked it, and opened the screen.
Ye Feng was quite excited, as he had thought of a possibility regarding the treasure chests suddenly falling from the sky...
He skillfully opened the survivor channel and immediately found a scrolling broadcast at the very top of the [Regional Chat Channel]: "Zhang San has been promoted to an epic-level powerhouse. His region will randomly drop 3-15 gold or diamond chests in location, near every survivor's bracelet!"
"It really is like that~"
Ye Feng watched Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying, who had already run off to pick up the treasure chests, and muttered, "It's strange... What's the deal with this inexplicable broadcast...?"
"Perhaps... these fallen treasure chests are to increase your chances of survival?"
At this moment, Yue Yan put away the light screen she had just opened and looked at Ye Feng, "Your strength has advanced... causing treasure chests to drop, seemingly to give you... and the survivors in your region more supplies, increasing survival chances!"
"As for... the nuclear bombs you missed earlier... I can't figure out what's going on..."
Yue Yan looked at the survivor bracelet in her hand, then at Ye Feng, her expression full of confusion, "This survivor channel has only been able to send text for over twenty years... Only after you missed the nuclear bomb, nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and the like, did it become capable of sending voice, and even video..."
"This... I'm not too sure about the situation..."
Ye Feng scratched his head, feeling quite depressed.
Although he knew many things within the secret zone of Taixing City, he knew very little about the survivors of the Aftermath Plan...
"Yue Yan... can you tell how the treasure chests appeared?"
After a pause, Ye Feng looked at the last diamond treasure chest falling from the sky and asked.
"I don't know!"
Yue Yan sighed softly, "I've tried to research it before, but with no success. These treasure chests seem to appear out of nowhere... and then fall with parachutes... They look like airdrops, but there are no transport planes or anything like that..."
"It's a bit like a teleportation array, but not quite... and the treasure chest airdrops can precisely locate each survivor... This is quite magical..."
"After all, there are no satellites or anything like that anymore..."
Yue Yan explained quickly to Ye Feng.
"Big brother, hurry, the treasure chests have so many good things..."
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's excited shouts rang out.
"Let's eat first~ I'm so hungry~"
"Okay!~"
...
After a sumptuous lunch,
Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying happily inventoried and organized the supplies from the six diamond chests and fourteen gold chests they had collected.
Ye Feng, on the other hand, lay lazily on a rattan chair to rest. To be honest, his spirit was extremely fatigued after comprehending the power of E Shui, and he didn't want to move much...
Gradually, Ye Feng fell asleep...
.........
"Big brother, stop sleeping, wake up for dinner~"
In a daze, Ye Feng heard Xiao Xiao's call.
Immediately, Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up from the rattan chair.
"Hmm?"
Ye Feng was drinking water from a thermos when he suddenly looked surprised, because his gaze landed on Yue Yan in the distance.
"What is Yue Yan doing... still in the same spot..."
Ye Feng muttered, getting up and walking towards Yue Yan while drinking water.
"Yue Yan, you didn't stand here all afternoon, did you?"
Ye Feng walked up to Yue Yan, stretched, and asked.
"Yes!"
To Ye Feng's surprise, Yue Yan actually nodded.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Ye Feng frowned slightly, crouched down, and followed Yue Yan's gaze.
"Ye Feng, this is the spot where that golden apple you split in half fell... It's just that the golden apple has been burned away by the fire of karma..."
Yue Yan remained silent for a moment, then slowly said.
"Golden apple?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's expression turned grave, "I did indeed cut that guy Apollo in half with a single sword at the time... but for some reason, that guy suddenly disappeared, and then a halved golden apple inexplicably appeared..."
"And... judging from the situation at the time, it was as if..."
Before Ye Feng could finish speaking, Yue Yan interjected, "It was as if your strike didn't hit Apollo, but the golden apple, right?"
"Uh... yes!"
Ye Feng nodded and turned to Yue Yan, "Do you know what this golden apple is?"
"Hoo!~"
Yue Yan took a deep breath, "If I'm not mistaken... that golden apple should be the divine artifact of Hera, one of the twelve main gods, just like Apollo!"
"Hera?!"
Ye Feng turned around and looked at Yue Yan, quite confused.
"Yes!"
Yue Yan nodded slightly, "Legend has it that Hera's golden apple possesses a 'second life'... I'm not entirely sure about this... but judging from Apollo's condition yesterday, it can probably help someone withstand a fatal attack... a substitute-like effect..."
"By the way, Ye Feng, do you remember that bloody lump that Tu Sui gave you in the City of Arcanum!"
After a pause, Yue Yan spoke again.
"I remember, what's wrong? Is that thing also related to the golden apple?"
Ye Feng asked subconsciously.
"Mmm!"
Yue Yan pondered for a moment and continued, "In the information Tu Sui left you, it was mentioned that the Dark Holy Religion wanted to capture Bing for the divine stone irradiation experiment because a withered branch reacted... and Ares, one of the gods, also wanted to capture Bing, seemingly because a withered branch reacted..."
"Speaking of which... in the information Tu Sui left, he mentioned overhearing a sentence when he went to see Ares... 'Let the golden apple tree take root and sprout again'..."
Upon hearing Yue Yan's words, Ye Feng immediately realized, "The Dark Holy Religion, Ares capturing Bing... is related to the golden apple, in order to let Hera's golden apple tree take root and sprout again?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple..."
Yue Yan's beautiful eyebrows curved, "Mei You is also targeting Bing... and is lurking very deep... He is also a God-Summoner..."
"My inference is... whether it's the Dark Holy Religion, Ares, or Mei You... they are all targeting Bing for the same purpose!"
"That is to awaken Hera, one of the twelve main gods!"
By the end, Yue Yan's expression was very serious.
"This..."
Hearing this, Ye Feng's face also turned grave.
"Big brother, sister Yue Yan, come for dinner..."
