Ch 141: Time To Leave

Li Yu pushed open the door and entered the Prefabricated Shelter from outside.

Ma Yuanbai turned his head to look, and upon seeing that it was Li Yu, a gentle smile appeared on his face:

“It’s Li Yu who has returned.”

He quickly jumped down from the table and hurried over to greet him.

The Vagrants also noticed Li Yu’s return and immediately, according to the procedure Ma Yuanbai had rehearsed earlier, stood up in unison,

“Alliance Leader!”

The Vagrants’ voices were loud and uniform. They were also wearing matching Camouflage Uniforms, and overall, they appeared well-organized, no longer as chaotic as before.

After joining the Alliance, they could eat and drink their fill every day, and now they could sleep in Prefabricated Shelters that no longer leaked, and even had a comfortable bed.

In just a few short days, their spirits had undergone a tremendous and refreshing change.

Under Ma Yuanbai’s day-after-day guidance, the Vagrants had come to deeply realize that all these positive changes were because of Li Yu.

At this moment, they stood at attention, as if wanting to express their absolute Loyalty to Li Yu through this act.

This was also the first time Li Yu had encountered such a scene, and for a moment he was overwhelmed by the crowd’s shouts,

and he suddenly had these subordinates in name only, and now he didn’t know what to do.

Ma Yuanbai, standing beside him, gave Li Yu a wink, and Li Yu then saw Zhao Xiong and several others distributing food. He slowly spoke:

“Everyone, continue eating, continue…”

“Yes.” The Vagrants sat down again in unison, their discipline noticeably improved several times over.

Li Yu beckoned to Ma Yuanbai, signaling him to speak aside.

Ma Yuanbai nodded and followed closely behind Li Yu to a corner of the Prefabricated Shelter.

As soon as they reached the corner, Ma Yuanbai eagerly pointed at the Vagrants and said:

“Li Yu, look, how much they have changed, aren’t they much more respectful of you?” Ma Yuanbai’s eyes held a hint of pride.

“Um.” Li Yu was speechless.

He felt more than just respect; he felt that he had been deified by Ma Yuanbai.

Li Yu’s gaze turned again to the Vagrants; at this moment, the Vagrants were eating.

After these few days of good Life, their faces finally held some satisfied smiles, perhaps among the few genuine smiles of their lives.

“What good is this? Is it to give them hope?”

As for the future, Li Yu himself did not have enough confidence, and naturally could not truly lead so many people forward together.

“Actually, it’s not very useful.” Ma Yuanbai also looked at the Vagrants and slowly said:

“But sometimes, Vagrants need a firm Faith, a clear goal to follow, only then can they survive.”

Li Yu silently watched the Vagrants, silent for a moment before remembering his purpose in finding Ma Yuanbai.

He took out the Cylinder he had found in the Electric Eel’s body and handed it to Ma Yuanbai.

“Do you recognize this thing?”

Ma Yuanbai looked at it, somewhat surprised, and quickly took it over to examine it carefully.

“Could this be Exotic Material?”

“Exotic Material?” Li Yu was curious.

Ma Yuanbai stared intently at the electric patterns on the Cylinder, continuing to explain:

“Exotic Material is also Exotic Beast essence. Exotic Material is different from Energy Cores; it is generally formed slowly from the organs where Exotic Beasts store Energy, or from the areas richest in Psionic Ability.”

“Some Exotic Material is teeth, some are claws, even Scales or eyes; any important Psionic Ability organs on an Exotic Beast’s body have the potential to evolve into Exotic Material.”

This was the first time Ma Yuanbai had ever seen Exotic Material with his own eyes:

“However, Exotic Material is usually only found on High-Order Exotic Beasts, like the legendary reverse scale of a dragon, extremely rare and precious.”

Holding the Exotic Material in his hand, Ma Yuanbai looked deeply at Li Yu:

“You actually managed to kill a High-Order Exotic Beast.”

No wonder he could no longer feel the Energy Waves in Li Yu’s body; the difference in their Strength was too great.

Li Yu recalled that the Electric Eel King was indeed powerful, almost electrocuting Xiao Hei to death.

And it seemed to have some intelligence, knowing how to ambush in advance, and its concealment was top-notch.

In this way, the Electric Eel King was indeed a High-Order Exotic Beast. Li Yu nodded and continued to ask:

“What can this Exotic Material be used for?” He had previously discovered that the Energy inside the Exotic Material was unique and could not be absorbed and utilized like an Energy Core.

“In the Data I’ve read, most Exotic Material is used to make Weapons,” Ma Yuanbai said, recalling.

“How can such a small piece of Exotic Material be used to make a Weapon?” Li Yu looked at the Cylinder, which was only the size of his palm, and asked in doubt.

“That’s why you need Awakener’s with creation-related Abilities; this kind of Ability is quite rare.” Ma Yuanbai said, returning the Exotic Material to Li Yu, but the excitement in his eyes was hard to conceal, as if he was hiding something from Li Yu.

At this time, Zhao Xiong and Sun Hao finished distributing the food and came over.

“Alliance Leader Li Yu.” The two greeted Li Yu, using the honorific.

Although they had known Li Yu for a long time, under Ma Yuanbai’s Brainwashing, they had completely accepted Li Yu’s Alliance Leader Identity.

Now that their statuses were so different, the two men were somewhat restrained.

Li Yu didn’t mind this, smiling in response to Zhao Xiong and Sun Hao’s greetings, trying to ease their tension:

“I plan to leave Qingcheng, I came to tell Ma Yuanbai.”

Ma Yuanbai suddenly echoed decisively: “I also think it’s time to leave Qingcheng. Let’s prepare immediately; just wait for your order to depart.”

Saying this, he waved to Zhao Xiong and the other, and the two understood immediately, turning to tell the Vagrants to pack their bags immediately.

“…”

Looking at the Vagrants who had already started packing, Li Yu looked bewildered and said to Ma Yuanbai again:

“That’s not what I meant; I mean I’m leaving myself.”

“Understood!”

Ma Yuanbai suddenly shouted, under the gaze of the surrounding Vagrants, he even gave Li Yu a standard salute:

“We will follow the Alliance Leader to the death!”

“Follow the Alliance Leader!” The Vagrants who were packing up also shouted in unison.

Li Yu stepped forward, patted Ma Yuanbai on the shoulder, and gave him a helpless thumbs-up.

“I really thank you.”

Looking at everyone packing up, Li Yu turned and left the Prefabricated Shelter first.

When he left Qingcheng, he still needed to visit Lu Fan.

“Take me to find Lu Fan.” Li Yu said to the Team Leader at the entrance.

“Alliance Leader Li Yu, this way, please.” The Team Leader instructed a Soldier to report first, and then led Li Yu toward the Tall Buildings.

When Li Yu arrived, Lu Fan seemed to have just returned and was waiting downstairs.

As Li Yu got closer, Lu Fan immediately felt a familiar Energy Fluctuation.

Lu Fan looked at Li Yu in disbelief:

“Super Psionic Ability?”

A Radiance flashed in his eyes, and he activated his Psionic Ability to look at Li Yu again.

Li Yu’s body was filled with powerful Energy, and he could also feel a strong sense of threat; he was undoubtedly a Super Esper.

Lu Fan then understood that the person who had advanced to Super Psionic Ability was Li Yu.
