This was of course a joke between the two of them. Teasing? Was this even considered a threat in the apocalypse?
Xia Lei had an open personality and was really bold so she often spend her time with cops that were very direct. She did things very generously and would often make such jokes.
She was just using this method to raise a few small requests to Ye Zhongming.
This request wasn’t too much. Ye Zhongming knew that if he ignored other factors and looked at only strength, Mo Ye and Xia Lei were the strongest on the team.
If he had to choose one out of the two women then he would choose Xia Lei.
Although the two of them were the top cops in that city and both of them had many records, but Xia Lei had a few more than Mo Ye. Moreover, she learned her blade skills from a grandmaster and if she used Moon Edge, she was stronger.
For her to ask for a chance to evolve after Liang Chuyin and Le Dayuan was a logical and reasonable one.
Moreover, Ye Zhongming also knew what she faced in the new district base. She knew that since her husband betrayed her, her desire to evolve was higher than anyone else which was why he understood her feelings.
Reasonable request and also a good reason. She also used a communication method that was advantageous to the woman to bring it up which was why Ye Zhongming didn’t feel annoyed by it.
“Move aside!”
Before the two of them entered the city, the sound of motorcycles could be heard from behind. They turned around and saw a small group made of 5-6 vehicles driving by. Each one of them had a small bag on their waists which were all full.
“The team is back.”
Someone shouted and the group made a path into the county for them. These people drove right in and the 20 guards at the gate didn’t stop them at all.
“Do you see their waist? Those are all crystals!”
“So many?”
“What do you think? That area burnt for two days and they headed out when the fire died down. They probably cleaned up the battlefield in a night so how much do you think they picked up?”
“Then. Then aren’t they rich? Won’t there be at least 1-2 thousand?”
“They probably got three thousand. Don’t forget that there are not only zombies there but many alive people. Those people who were trapped in the fire probably mutated after getting bitten by the zombies.’
“Damn, these animals.”
“The world has changed. They are evolved so there is nothing we can do. We know that this group isn’t much but we still want to enter the city. We want to be safer so we just have to suck it up.”
Everyone was silent. They escaped from nearby areas and witnessed many dangers and deaths. They really craved a safe place to live.
Even if this place wasn’t that good.
Ye Zhongming smiled coldly.
If he didn’t revive, this place would be like the new base and a new team would form. It would be average in the area. Their team leader was a five star expert.
After this, another team wiped them out and their core was killed.
Ye Zhongming was the one that wiped this group out in his last life.
More accurately, it had to do with the big fellow’s hatred towards this team. He was tortured and when he used his life to exchange for a chance to evolve. When he had a bunch of allies and when they had enough influence, the hatred buried in their hearts had a way to be vented.
The big fellow led his men to wipe out the Wulan Squad and Ye Zhongming was one of them.
Maybe some of those who were riding the motorcycles were wiped out by Ye Zhongming himself in his last life.
After they passed, the crowd started to shift forwards.
One needed to pay to enter Wulan County and get protected. As for what the payment was, it was up to the guards. But mostly it was food or water. Naturally, if you had demon crystals, you would be able to pass unobstructed.
Xia Lei and Ye Zhongming used two level one crystals to enter.
But they were different from others. Although their clothes weren’t extravagant, but they were clean. They didn’t look hungry and lost which made them stand out in the crowd.
After passing through, the guards who wore different uniforms looked at Xia Lei with bad intentions. It was rare to see such clean girls in the apocalypse.
The two of them split up after entering the county. Xia Lei roamed on her own while Ye Zhongming disappeared on the streets.
“Oi do you see that?”
A team leader and a deputy looked at Xia Lei’s back view and muttered to one another.
“En, really top quality.” The leader nodded and touched his chin, “What do you think?”
“Report to Young Master Huang.”
“Hehe, I think so too. If he is happy he might give us some evolution potions.”
The two of them passed their job to others before hurrying to find people.
Wulan County and the new district base were the same. People who lacked water and food set up a market. They either traded food, essentials, medicine etc and that slowly developed into a trading post that survivors loved.
There were things like potions, equipment, job certificates etc.
Xia Lei roamed randomly while trying to find out some news but none of them were useful. The leader of the base was really cunning. Apart from people he trusted, no one knew how many evolved there were in Wulan County. They didn’t know the weapons and equipment they had and they didn’t even know where the leader stayed at.
She didn’t get anything in the market so she left. She noticed that someone was following her. Being a trained person, their stalking skills were too lousy.
She purposely walked to a secluded area and rested on the wall as the four of them surrounded her.
The leader didn’t look too old and he was a young man with yellow hair. His eyes were very evil and it glowed as he looked at Xia Lei.
This person was the only son of the person who had set up the Wulan Squad and was enemies with the big fellow. He was a pervert and loved mature women even though he was really young. The beautiful woman under his father’s control were all his targets.
“You all are really slow.”
Xia Lei didn’t feel afraid at all. She just smiled at this group of people.
The young man was stunned, to him, this girl was different from others. Shouldn’t she be the one that was panicking and telling them not to do anything to her?
“I have drawn them out, aren’t you going to appear?”
As Xia Lei raised her voice, Ye Zhongming appeared behind the few of them.
In his last life, Ye Zhongming didn’t find out where the jail that locked the big fellow was at. To find a jail in a huge county was not very easy.
Of course, Ye Zhongming could bring people to attack and take control of this place. But it would cause chaos and that might endanger the big fellow. Moreover, he knew that the big fellow wanted to take revenge on himself and not for him to do everything for him.
The few of them looked at each other and laughed.
They were the strongest people in this world and they were evolved. So what if the two of them evolved? Could they defeat so many of them?
Xia Lei sighed and shook her head. These bunch of ignorant fools, did they really think one star evolved made them invincible?
Ye Zhongming appeared beside them before their laughter stopped. He punched the closest person and he was sent flying. He smashed into the war and he tried to struggle up but he spat out blood. He looked at the cave-in portion near his heart and his eyes opened wide as he slowly stopped breathing.
Such a decisive and quick killing method shocked the others. Although this ally wasn’t the strongest but he wasn’t weak. They were all evolved and their strength was similar. But they were actually instantly killed in front of this young man!
“You are two star evolved!”
A terrifying guess appeared in Young Master Huang’s mind and he shouted it out.
This caused the two that were about to charge at Ye Zhongming to stop. They retreated in fear but Ye Zhongming obviously didn’t give them a chance. His arms smashed into their necks and their heads were sent crashing into their shoulders. Their bodies fell and they died.
Young Master Huang’s pants were wet.
Although you killed someone before, that didn’t mean that you weren’t afraid of dying. It might mean the total opposite. When you understood what was death, you would become more afraid of it.
Ye Zhongming had a rough impression of this person. This was Young Master Huang that was smashed by the big fellow using a shield. Now, he knelt on the ground and tears flowed out. He was so terrified that he didn’t know what to say.
“Tell me, where is Shengyuan?”
Shengyuan? Young Master Huang started to think. His eyes turned, he opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.
“Tell me and I won’t kill you.”
Ye Zhongming looked down on him and said coldly.
“He is, in the basement of the county granary.”
………………………………………………
“Nurse Ge is here!” The two guards smoking in the corner waved.
“Right, we can’t let him die, boss hasn’t had enough fun.”
Nurse Ge had thick makeup on and her body was explosive. She wore a nurse uniform and it gave a very tempting feeling.
She looked into the cell and opened two thick locks before walking in with two bags of fluids.
“Shengyuan did so because of a woman? Did he have to kill the boss’s lover?” The guard said to the guy beside him.
“He was the boss’s top warrior and he had a job. Now, he is being tortured every day.”
The two of them wanted to say something but they heard footsteps from upstairs.
