This sneak attack, whose outcome seemed predetermined, was not as expected.
A typical two-star evolved would find it hard to face the attacks of ten one-star evolved. Especially if two of the one-star evolved had jobs, the one-star side would take over the control of the battlefield.
Moreover, Xia Bai had evolved twice in one night, so her body was still adapting.
Suppose Jennings and his men weren’t afraid if they dared to fight back if they weren’t shocked by Xia Bai’s madness. Then they had jobs, guns, and the number advantage; they would be the victors.
But in the end, they were the ones who died.
It was no one else’s fault; it just meant that their mentality was not strong enough. It meant that they lacked courage. It meant that they still hadn’t adapted to the apocalypse even after they evolved.
Thus, they would die.
Of course, this bunch of foreigners were quite stupid to Lu Yi.
People told you to leave, and you left? Why did people come here? They wanted to occupy this place. Since they treated this as their base, the base needed people. If you left yourself, it was okay; now that you want to lead a bunch of people away, were you asking for death?
Lu Yi’s guess was proven when the injured Xia Bai returned to the villa. This old man held his hands behind his back, looked as this ghost-faced woman passed him, and entered the villa. She left a trail of bloodstained footprints behind her.
Other people’s blood dried up on the way here; the ones left now were from herself.
Be it Lu Yi or those following behind him; they were all shocked.
Lu Yi and the others had all seen vicious people. The few leaders of Cloud Peak were such people. If not, they wouldn’t be able to suppress others. But this woman… Apart from being shocked, Lu Yi felt a huge fear of her.
It sent a chill down Lu Yi’s spine, especially when she glanced at them when she passed.
Inside it… The old man saw a bit of disappointment.
Why did this disfigured girl feel disappointed?
Lu Yi didn’t understand, but after taking a few steps, he got it.
That woman dealt with Jennings’s side. Disappointment… Was it because he came here and not left?
Was she disappointed because she wasn’t able to kill him?!
Lu Yi sucked in a deep breath and was more confident that his choice was correct.
Xia Bai’s terrible state caused Park Xiuying and the others to cover their mouths.
She had two serious gun injuries and four to five broken bones. The two wounds on her head were still bleeding, and other light and serious injuries.
This woman. How did she hold on? Why did one not see any pain on her face?
“I… This…” Park Xiuying wanted to use Cleansing Dew, but she had to dig out the bullet first. If not, the body wouldn’t recover even if the wound healed. Park Xiuying didn’t know how to do that. Mo Ye and Xia Lei were out, so how?
Ye Zhongming looked as Lu Yi and the others walked in; he told Sister Rong to take care of them before saying, “Let me do it.”
After surviving for ten years, Ye Zhongming was forced to learn such things. He brought Xia Bai and Park Xiuying into the room and took out some collected medical bandages and tools. He prepared to take out the bullet from her shoulder.
Her clothes were dyed red. Ye Zhongming frowned when he took the scissors as he couldn’t find the right spot. Xia Bai suddenly stood up and took off her clothes.
Park Xiuying exclaimed and looked at this naked woman in shock.
Ye Zhongming glanced.
This woman adapted to her role faster than he thought; she also adapted to their new relationship.
This was a good thing.
As for having a woman appear like this in front of your eyes, Ye Zhongming was surprised but wouldn’t avoid it. Such scenes were too familiar in the apocalypse.
Park Xiuying looked at her half-destroyed face and also her burnt shoulder. She also looked at how she sat there expressionlessly, allowing the guy to press onto her to dig out the bullet. She understood why she could gain Ye Zhongming’s trust in such a short time.
She would do things that others in the team wouldn’t do.
He touched the burnt wound on her shoulder and glanced at her face, “I am going to slice off the dead skin.”
“Okay.”
Her reply was straightforward, and she didn’t hesitate. She didn’t even question or ask for a reason before agreeing.
Ye Zhongming used the scalpel to slice off the burn wounds and scars left to reveal the fresh flesh below.
After this, Ye Zhongming helped readjust Xia Bai’s ribs and arm bones and cleared out the burnt flesh left from the bullet wounds.
It took five minutes to deal with them all. At that time, she had bled a lot, and a small blood pool appeared under her sitting chair.
“Begin.”
Park Xiuying used Cleansing Dew after hearing that. She pointed at her shoulder, and a white flash shone, lighting the entire room.
Ye Zhongming was impressed by the strength of her job. After becoming a two-star evolved, Ye Zhongming also gave the only upgrade scroll to Park Xiuying for her to upgrade Cleansing Dew to the second stage.
Due to the job, she needed all her job skills to reach the next stage before she could upgrade the job itself. So temporarily, she was still a Trainee of Light and needed one more job upgrade scroll.
But the unique job was really strong. When Cleansing Dew reached the next level, it started to change. Park Xiuying grasped a new skill– Gentle Necklace.
This was the upgraded form of Cleansing Dew, and its healing effect was better. But its healing was focused and not overall healing like Cleansing Dew.
Naturally, the upgraded effect was better than before.
Gentle Nacklace’s healing was related to mental energy, not a fixed value like Cleansing Dew. If the job user continued to use the skill, the mental energy would be consumed as one continued healing.
When Park Xiuying stopped it, her shoulder was healed. The flesh was covered in a thin layer of membrane that looked like the initial formation of the skin. The people in the room weren’t doctors and didn’t know if their judgment was right.
Park Xiuying used two more upgraded Cleansing Dews; her face turned ashen white. Gentle Necklace consumed a lot of mental energy.
“Tomorrow, I will heal you again; I think you will be mostly healed.”
After learning that Xia Bai was a two-star evolved, Park Xiuying said that confidently. If she were one star, her body quality would be different, and she wouldn’t be so confident.
Xia Bai nodded and suddenly passed a pair of scissors to Park Xiuying.
“Cut my hair.”
Park Xiuying looked at how she was left with only half her hair. She then looked at Ye Zhongming and didn’t know what to do.
Ye Zhongming nodded at her and then turned around to leave.
Sister Rong was talking to Lu Yi on the sofa.
The two had come into contact before, but the outcome wasn’t good. Lu Yi didn’t care about requests that didn’t trade food for potions. Sister Rong naturally couldn’t do anything and had to return. Who knew that the tables would turn? This woman was now a speaker of the new king, and he was just an outsider who came over to join their side.
But the two were manager-level people in the once chaotic Cloud Peak. One was an old fellow who had worked in the corporate field for dozens of years and tried to avoid discussing what had happened before. Although he was talking about random stuff, the atmosphere looked good.
This was until Ye Zhongming walked over.
Lu Yi quickly stood up.
“Boss Ye hello.”
He didn’t call him Mr or didn’t shake his hand. His first sentence was to express his intentions.
“You didn’t leave? Then sit.” Ye Zhongming sat on the sofa and expressed his attitude.
“I don’t want to go; I have lost my family.” His expression dimmed, “Moreover, this place might not be good in the past, but it might be perfect in the future.”
The two of them looked at one another and smiled.
Some things didn’t need to be said; everyone just had to understand. Lu Yi expressed his reason for saying so he could stay. Naturally, it was to stay. If he wanted to get recognized, there had to be a process. But after all, he was an intelligent person. After making his choice, he gave his thoughts on how to build the base.
He wanted to win this new king’s respect for something that he was best at.
Ye Zhongming listened on carefully. Although he had a plan, he had never done such things in the past. It was good to hear the opinion of others and gain more experience.
Lu Yi did raise many valuable things, some of which he didn’t consider.
They talked, and Lu Yi also told Ye Zhongming about his situation. The number of people he controlled, the position of the wheels, the strength of his men, the remaining items in storage, etc. It was an elaboration of him saying he wanted to join their side.
“I brought some things.” Lu Yi took out a map, and it was actually hand drawn. But Ye Zhongming saw that it was detailed and was the same as those printed. From that, one could see how artistic the person who made it was.
“One of my men drew this. The middle is the Cloud Peak, which includes the whole mountain. If we want to run this place, this map can allow us to set up a plan more accurately.”
Ye Zhongming was satisfied and smiled, “Not bad, very useful.”
“Then what do I need to do next?”
Ye Zhongming kept the map and said slowly, “Need to fight. Are your men and you prepared?”
