Bai Tang looked at the villainous young master in the original work with great interest, the first tragic figure in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes": Well, he does look quite good; his cultivation level is not low, already at the eighth level of Qi Refining, which makes him a formidable expert even in the apocalypse; he lacks the demeanor of a noble young master but possesses a refreshing and ethereal calmness, reminiscent of Jiangnan ink wash paintings, plain like evening mist and gauze, and his speech is like a boat drifting among distant mountains...
What a handsome man! Bai Tang praised inwardly but did not agree to Yang Kang's request. Instead, he asked, "What did Yang Tiexin do that made you dislike him so much?"
Yang Kang's face immediately turned bright red, then shifted to a dark shade. After hesitating for a moment, he finally understood the truth:
Yang Kang had returned to Niujia Village with Yang Tiexin, intending to take care of Yang Tiexin until his death to repay him for giving him life. Once he fulfilled this obligation, he planned to find Yi Qian and continue his cultivation with him. His plan was good, but he overlooked Yang Tiexin's intentions. Ever since hearing Han Ying's advice, Yang Tiexin had decided that once they settled in Niujia Village, he would arrange the wedding for his two children and then wait to hold Sunzi. Thus, after settling down in Niujia Village, Yang Tiexin began preparing for the wedding, and only then did Yang Kang realize that this father he had just met wanted him to marry a woman he didn't even like. Yang Kang refused to get married; he approached Yang Tiexin and calmly told his adoptive father that he was a cultivator. Once he reached the Avenue and ascended to immortality, marrying would affect his cultivation. Moreover, even if he married a wife, after thirty or fifty years, he would still look like this while his wife would have become an old woman—wasn't that too mismatched?
Yang Tiexin was conflicted. If the Yang Family produced an immortal, it would truly be a blessing from their ancestors; however, their bloodline would end with this generation of sons—he felt guilty towards his ancestors! Then seeing his adopted daughter suffering for her son made Yang Tiexin resolve. Compared to his son whom he had just met, his heart leaned more towards the adopted daughter he had raised and decided to help her fulfill her wish. Mu Nianci's wish was not complicated; she knew she could not marry Yang Kang, so she wanted to create a memory with him for one night and hoped to conceive a child together. Regarding the future of the Yang Family, Yang Tiexin favored Mu Nianci. Thus, he actively became an accomplice and secretly drugged his unsuspecting son so that Mu Nianci could approach Yang Kang.
"Poor child!" Bai Tang didn't know how to comfort Yang Kang. He was actually taken advantage of by a woman! This Mu Nianci was too bold!
"Grandmaster, please take me with you when you leave!" Yang Kang pleaded on his knees. He couldn't stand being around Yang Tiexin and those people anymore! When he woke up and was furious enough to want to kill Mu Nianci, both Yang Tiexin and Guo Jing stopped him. Huang Rong even scolded him for taking advantage without responsibility, calling him scum. How shameless! He didn't want any part of such an advantage!
"Yang Kang. My Master and I are not from this world!" Bai Tang revealed to Yang Kang. "The world we live in is not as peaceful and beautiful as this one! In that world, survival for humanity is extremely difficult..."
Bai Tang explained to Yang Kang what the apocalypse was, what Zombies were, and the threats posed by Mutated Beasts and Mutated Plants. The land was polluted, making it hard to grow food. Many people went hungry and were poorly clothed; their lives were not guaranteed...
"It is like the Asura realm mentioned in Buddhist scriptures. Do you still wish to come with us?" Bai Tang asked Yang Kang to choose.
"As long as I can be with my Master, I am willing to go anywhere—even Hell or the Asura realm," Yang Kang replied firmly. If my Master could live in such a world, why couldn't I? Although my Grandmaster dealt with Zombies in a terrifying way, her tone seemed incredibly relaxed; it must be easy for her and my Master to handle Zombies. Even though I might not be as strong as those two, I should still be able to kill one or two Zombies!
Satisfied with his response, Bai Tang took out a book from her backpack and tossed it to Yang Kang!
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes?" Yang Kang read the title aloud. "What is this?"
“! It tells of your original fate!”
Yang Kang had never imagined that he was actually a character in a story, which was a huge blow to him; after seeing his original fate, Yang Kang felt even more grateful to Yi Qian. If it weren't for this Master adopting and educating him, he would have ended up like the Yang Kang in the book, ultimately facing betrayal and dying in a dilapidated temple.
Bai Tang did not give Yang Kang time to feel sentimental; she discovered the whereabouts of Huang Yaoshi. Both Bai Tang and Yi Qian were very interested in Huang Yaoshi, so they brought their pets and disciples to wait outside Returning Cloud Manor to confront Huang Laoxie. Upon meeting Huang Yaoshi, Bai Tang and Yi Qian approached him with friendly intentions, hoping to befriend him. However, someone as proud as Huang Yaoshi would look down on four "nameless individuals," thinking they were just trying to curry favor with him after learning his name, completely ignoring them.
Bai Tang was furious: “Huang Yaoshi, although I find you quite charming, your attitude is too poor. Do you really think you’re impressive just because you are one of the Five Greats?”
Angry Bai Tang sent her Disciple to give Huang Yaoshi a good beating. With a bruised face, Huang Laozhi felt humiliated and decided to jump into the sea to accompany Feng Huang. Yi Qian stopped Huang Yaoshi and told him that they were Cultivators who aimed to become immortals in the future, clearly on a different level than Huang Yaoshi, and naturally would be able to defeat him. Huang Yaoshi became interested in Cultivation and asked Bai Tang how he could cultivate. Bai Tang regrettably discovered that Huang Yaoshi had no Spiritual Root. Upon hearing this, Huang Yaoshi was not particularly disappointed; he was a carefree person by nature. Bai Tang admired Huang Yaoshi even more and decided to give him the internal cultivation method from the Northern Darkness Divine Skill that Yi Qian had found while practicing the Spirit Eagle Technique—Yi Qian's purpose for collecting internal cultivation methods was to help soldiers without Spiritual Roots cultivate in the apocalypse—telling Huang Yaoshi that as long as his martial arts reached the Great Perfection stage, he would be able to shatter the void and enter the Dao through martial arts.
A new Main Gate opened before Huang Yaoshi. Initially not very dedicated to martial arts, Huang Yaoshi decided from now on to work hard at it, striving to shatter the void and explore other worlds; as for thoughts of accompanying anyone in death, he cast them aside. The world was so vast and wonderful; Huang Yaoshi had not explored enough yet!
After meeting with Huang Yaoshi, Bai Tang and her disciple felt fulfilled. They brought the unconscious Yi Qian and Yang Kang back to their guild territory. Bai Tang pressed the button for the Time-Space Gate—after entering The Legend of the Condor Heroes, a fourth Time-Space Gate automatically appeared on the system panel.
The place they arrived at was a desolate large island; Bai Tang realized they had reached Haidong Island. Due to the maritime barrier, supplies and weapons from the mainland could not reach Haidong Island, leading to extremely difficult living conditions for its inhabitants. Coupled with the threat of Zombies, there were fewer than twenty thousand people left alive!
The people at Haidong Island base had been hoping for rescue from the mainland, but now there were only four rescuers, leaving them deeply disappointed; many even fell into despair. Standing among the sorrowful crowd, Bai Tang waved her hand, and a pile of Energy Guns and a Mecha appeared before everyone.
“There are time-space rifts between the mainland and Haidong Island that may take an unknown amount of time to close. The mainland cannot bring you back but will help you with supplies!” Bai Tang surveyed the crowd and said, “I have always believed that it is better to rely on oneself than on others; I pass this saying on to you. If you cannot leave Haidong Island, then your only option is to work hard to eliminate the Zombies on this island and create a safe environment for yourselves. Now that we have Energy Guns and Mechas, clearing out Zombies should not be difficult!”
“Not difficult!” The moment Energy Guns and Mechas appeared, everyone's spirits soared from despair! Hope—this young girl had brought them hope! Everyone felt like dancing and cheering!
“Then let’s work hard!” Bai Tang shouted loudly, “Kill all Zombies and rebuild our home!”
“Kill all Zombies and rebuild our home!” The crowd echoed enthusiastically.
"Eliminate all the Zombies and rebuild our home!"
"......"
After a brief and inspiring speech, Bai Tang found the base leader and sold the food in her backpack at a low price. By the time of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Bai Tang did not forget to stock up on food. She made a trip to the desert and collected a lot of beef and mutton, all of which were of excellent quality. To be honest, Bai Tang really didn't want to sell them.
"Master!" Yi Qian came over with Yang Kang, who was looking down and playing a game on his Tablet. Although this was a post-apocalyptic world where many technological products could no longer be used, those that could be used had already captivated Yang Kang. After watching the DVD of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, he became obsessed with gaming again. While online games were no longer available, there were still many interesting single-player games. Right now, Yang Kang was completely immersed in Ancient Sword.
"The matters on the island have been taken care of; let's return to the mainland! I need to send you back to the base quickly, and then I'll go find my Alien Friends to ask if they have produced the antidote. Otherwise, no matter how much food we sell, it won't satisfy the needs of all the survivors in Huaxia. The best solution is to detoxify the land so that people can plant crops normally!" Bai Tang understood that even if the antidote could eliminate the Zombie Virus from the soil, the land had already been damaged, and fertile soil would surely become barren; expecting a good yield was unrealistic. In fact, the best solution would be to materialize Ginkgo Space as soon as possible, but Bai Tang currently didn't have enough money to complete this task; she felt powerless and burdened by her responsibilities.
"Aliens?" Yang Kang looked up with bright eyes and asked, "Can I meet an alien? I want to know if they have big heads and small bodies or eight legs!"
Yi Qian rubbed his nose: "I watched Men in Black with him before."
Bai Tang naturally refused: "Aliens come in various shapes, but my friends are just like us—two eyes, one nose, and one mouth; there's nothing different about them. You don't need to be too curious! My friends don't like meeting outsiders, so you don't need to go. You can watch more Hollywood sci-fi movies; human imagination is rich, and many alien images have appeared in film and television works." (To be continued)
