Shi Tian wasn’t being heartless when he thought the woman was dead.
After all, no normal person could possibly survive such an impact, especially when she practically came flying down from the sky.
Alas, that was only applicable to normal people and he had forgotten the fact that the environment he lived in had changed since the Great Disaster 1.0 incident.
“Ugh, those bastards…” The woman suddenly cursed and attempted to crawl out of the crater, astonishing Shi Tian greatly.
Seeing a hand popping out from the crater, Shi Tian retreated a few more steps.
‘What the heck? She’s still alive?’ Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly. He then turned his head left and right repeatedly, and when he saw there were still no people around, his mouth curled upward.
Without hesitation, Shi Tian fixed his clothes that were ruined by the blast impact and walked forward, going around the crater.
He was going to act as if nothing had happened.
There aren’t any witnesses either, so before the people that dealt such a heavy blow to the female, he was going to escape the scene. That way, he wouldn’t be implicated or be dragged into this muddy water.
‘I’m so clever~’ Shi Tian thought to himself, believing he had escaped a red flag.
“Wait, please help me.”
While walking away, Shi Tian heard the woman’s voice calling out for help. However, he pretended to be deaf and refused to offer any help. 𝓫𝓭𝓸𝓋𝓁．𝓬𝓸𝓂
Woman, I can’t even help myself, so how could I afford to help you?
The woman grunted in pain when she realized he was walking away faster.
Her mouth was covered in blood, but even then, she gnashed her teeth in anger and shouted, “I’ll pay you!”
Instantly, Shi Tian’s movement halted as his ears perked up.
“How much?” He asked without turning back.
“2 mid-tier Source Crystals.”
“Tsk, not enough.” Shi Tian shook his head and became uninterested.
2 mid-tier Source Crystals might sound like a lot, but who knows what kind of trouble he would be in for a measly 2 mid-tier Source Crystals?
The people that are after her might be even more fearsome, and he had no plan of being a target for such a low amount.
Meanwhile, the woman that was still under the crater was extremely furious at Shi Tian.
“If you save me, then when you come to Chronoworth City, you would receive unimaginable benefits.” The woman shouted another offer.
‘Chronoworth City?’ Shi Tian raised an eyebrow. He seemed to have read about this city a while back when he was in the B-3 room training facility.
It should be a city that is about 1200 kilometers from here.
“How the hell did someone from Chronoworth City arrive at Gearits City?” Shi Tian asked in a grave tone.
Normally, 1200 kilometers distance isn’t much to be frantic about, but that was if one doesn’t count the wilderness chaos and the monsters roaming there.
If the world was still perfectly fine and had airports, then that kind of distance was nothing.
However, the world was now complete trash, filled with pollution clouding the sky, meaning there are no airports left. And even if there were airports, no one could operate a plane with a terrible field of vision in the sky.
“Bring me somewhere safe first and I’ll explain. Quickly, otherwise, when those people catch up, we won’t be able to escape.” The woman tried to sound as calm and polite as possible.
It was clear that she was beyond irritated at Shi Tian’s behavior, but there wasn’t anything she could do. She was injured heavily and required his assistance to escape here.
“Forget it, I don’t like the risk involved. You’re on your own.” Shi Tian shook his head and decided it was best to not be involved.
An unknown person from Chronoworth City, added to the fact that she was being chased or targeted, just these two facts were enough to deter him.
As Shi Tian continued to walk away, he suddenly felt something coming from behind.
Without bothering to think, Shi Tian attempted to dodge toward the right side, but whatever the object was thrown at him, seemed to have followed and attached to his shoulder.
He tried to shake it off but to no avail.
His eyes quickly turned cold, and killing intent rose.
“What did you just throw at me?” Shi Tian turned around and asked in a cold tone.
“Hmph, it’s nothing much. Just an object that those people are after me for, and if you don’t help me, then they would be able to trace you very soon. Only I can temporarily conceal the object’s aura and prevent them from catching us.” The woman sneered coldly.
Since the sweet method doesn’t work, then she might as well use the brute force method. She was going to die sooner or later if she didn’t receive help, and since Shi Tian was so heartless, she wouldn’t mind dragging him down with her.
Meanwhile, Shi Tian clenched his fist as he cursed himself.
If it was possible to retract time, then he was definitely going to choose to kill this woman instantly to avoid such problems.
“Do you believe that I will kill you right here and tell them that I was under someone’s order as well?” Shi Tian glanced at the woman and said.
“Do it then. I’m dead either way if you refuse to help me. But I’ll be happy to see you soon in the underworld.” The woman tried her best to smirk before coughing up a mouthful of blood.
Seeing her up close now, Shi Tian saw most of her clothes were disheveled, her flesh being completely revealed and injuries that were filled with blood, a scene that he was familiar with.
Yolanda also had the same type of injuries upon her death, especially those cut wounds.
‘How could there be so many coincidences?’ Shi Tian was secretly alarmed.
While Shi Tian was deep in thought, the woman felt his fiery gaze all over her body.
“Are you going to keep staring at my body and not do anything?” She hissed coldly, her teeth biting at her lips in frustration.
