Many famous and strong people were born in the ten years of the apocalypse that left irreplaceable legends in the hearts of survivors.
Every one of them was names that Ye Zhongming was familiar with.
Zhang Dalong was one of them.
This person would become a nine-star expert. Before Ye Zhongming was revived, he was still one of the groups of people that were extremely strong. The World Sweeping Army he controlled occupied two provinces.
This person started from Ying City.
Nine-star experts were the pinnacle strength that humans could achieve after ten years. As for how many there were, survivors did count, but everyone knew it wasn’t accurate. No one knew how many low-profile ones there were. Of course, there won’t be many of those, maybe not even five, but there were a few.
Ye Zhongming knew that someone had rowed from the ocean and appeared in some cities near the shore. He was a nine-star evolved. After showing his face, he disappeared, and no one knew where he went.
After all, gachapons could appear everywhere, meaning humans could evolve anywhere.
But just a few people controlled the land, and Zhang Dalong was one of them.
When Ye Zhongming chose the base, he knew he would bump into this person one day. Now that he heard others mention the name, it was understandable that he felt complicated.
That was because… Strictly speaking, Ye Zhongming chose Cloud Peak, which belonged to Zhang Dalong in the last life.
Which meant that Ye Zhongming was here to snatch territory. Since he heard the name of the old territory owner, of course, he felt complicated.
Of course, apart from feeling complicated, Ye Zhongming was also excited. After all, he was snatching territory from a nine-star evolved. More accurately, he was grabbing the chance from a future nine-star evolved.
Because of him, Zhang Dalong might not become a nine-star evolved.
A month passed, and Ye Zhongming stopped the path of two future nine-star evolution. One was Heaven Blade Wang Ding, which he sliced an arm off, and who knew if he was even alive. Another was Zhang Dalong, who was about to lose his base—thinking about which Ye Zhongming would stop this criminal.
The two girls looked at each other and were shocked but didn’t care much. After all, Ye Zhongming chose this place, so it was normal that he knew information about the area around him.
“This fellow is the one we paid most attention to as his men have signs of wanting to expand. They want to occupy more wheels and obtain more resources.”
Ye Zhongming nodded his head. In the next month, anyone with a brain would know that the wheels were the resource. Whoever occupied it would be able to evolve quickly. The battle for the wheels had just begun. This situation would continue and only stabilize after a few years. But even then, if humans had conflicts, it would be because of the gachapon wheels.
“This is the Lou Family, a minority race that maintained their old family traditions. Because of that, they are united. They occupied a good position. The huge dam and lake gave them protection. Their island at the lake’s center wouldn’t be invaded, and they could come out as and when they wanted, so they developed quite well too.”
Xia Lei added, “We don’t know much about their strength, but they will be strong. I heard that the few hundred know spear techniques and are strong when fighting.”
Ye Zhongming nodded. When he came here in his last life, he didn’t know about Tech City Team, Hungry Tiger Warrior, but he did hear about the Lou Family. However, they were wiped out in the future. The reason was because of a beast wave. Ye Zhongming didn’t know the exact details as he was struggling to survive and didn’t care about factions that were wiped out.
“Finally, this is the place, East Mountain Village. This is a faction made up of villagers. In terms of numbers, this was the biggest faction, and there were already over five thousand of them. The entrance of the village had a level one wheel which they guarded. The one in charge was the village chief, that others call Uncle Hai. He was a two-star evolved. We know how he evolved. He used a job scroll to trade for it from Young Master Yun.”
“Moreover, these people are quite weird. They have many weapons, and with just one look, we know they are self-made. However, their quality is excellent. Honestly, only military factories could reach such a grade.”
Mo ye saw many things she couldn’t understand over the days. She shook her head and pondered that maybe this village did illegal things before the apocalypse.
Ye Zhongming knew that this village wasn’t an illegal camp. It was because they had a smith that crafted those weapons and equipment.
In the future, East Mountain Village will become East Mountain Squad. Uncle Hai was the first leader, and they became a strong faction around Hai City. After that, even when Zhang Dalong clashed with them, they still survived well.
The reason was that Uncle Hai wasn’t weak, and he had a strong smith. Ye Zhongming’s green sniper rifle was modified by that smith too.
East Mountain Squad existed because of Li Hao. They relied on this excellent master. Their overall strength and equipment were the best in Ying City. Although they weren’t the strongest near Ying City, no other faction was willing to offend them. Smiths and POtion Makers had many friends in the apocalypse, and they all shared information. They didn’t allow others to spoil this chain. If you attacked such people, you would affect their interests, and they would go all out against you.
Another reason was that East Mountain Squad’s equipment was excellent. One had to pay a heavy price if one wanted to swallow them up. No one was willing to do such things in the apocalypse.
“Apart from these five factions, there were scattered teams and survivor camps. There aren’t many, but something called Black Coat Car Squad and a Soul Merchant sounds strong.”
Ye Zhongming squinted, “Soul merchant?”
Mo Ye and Xia Lei looked at one another and then nodded. This guy didn’t react when they mentioned the five other factions, but why did this small Soul Merchant cause such a huge reaction?
Ye Zhongming sucked in a deep breath and felt his heart beat quickly.
“I know. Be sentries here; I will go do some stuff.”
He walked away with a dark and sunken expression. He found a room and took out the Gate of Sacrifice. When he heard about Soul Merchant, he decided to use it once.
