Yuan Shang came quickly, and he didn’t delay at all on the way here.
Honestly, he was curious about this team that suddenly appeared in his field of sight and quickly allowed him to earn money.
He was unsure about the exact reason, maybe because the leader was too young. Maybe because of those white blades. Maybe because of their confidence and clean appearance. As a head hunter, Yuan Shang often used vibes to look at people.
He felt like this group was amazing. More importantly, they might be of help to him.
He relied on the speed of the motorcade to drag the grains that Ye Zhongming wanted here.
The first thing he saw was the piles of zombies at the gate. There were some people pouring oil on them and lighting them up.
Yuan Shang was expressionless, but deep down, he was shocked.
This fellow occupied Cloud Peak quickly and started to clear out the zombies on the side. His efficiency was shocking.
Ye Zhongming was quite shocked at his speed, too; this fellow was too quick.
They were familiar with one another with their previous cooperation, so it was much easier to talk. After checking the food he brought, they agreed on the price. Facing such a buyer that didn’t debate and fight much, Yuan Shang increasingly liked him.
“Boss Ye, the few factions around want to head to a place; I don’t know if you are interested.”
Ye Zhongming didn’t care much at first. Such things would happen at any time. They would work together or attack one another. They were something normal during the apocalypse.
He guessed that Yuan Shang felt his team had strength which was why he had such a thought.
Ye Zhongming was not interested in such things, at least not now. Even in peacetime, interests were the source of all sins. It was more so in the apocalypse. A few factions would not work hard and even backstab you when you work with them. Ye Zhongming didn’t want to join in such events if there was no need.
But, his expression changed after Yuan Shang told him in detail their target. He didn’t speak for a short time.
Yuan Shang was shocked. He didn’t know if he had said something wrong for this young leader to have such an expression.
“Are you sure that this place is occupied by a bunch of monsters with green skin, no eyelids, no fingernails, and also no demon crystals?”
“Of course!” He was curious, “That place was found a long time ago, but there are many meter-tall monsters. They are swift, and each of them can threaten a one-star evolved. So even if they knew that there were many weapons, very few dared go. These factions made up their mind, so the more the merrier. It is best if they can crush those monsters so things can be safer.”
Some of the team members went outside to observe the coolies while some sat around the room. For example, Xia Lei, Le Dayuan, Candy, etc., were paying attention to Ye Zhongming. This guy was too solemn; they had never seen this guy like this before.
What kind of place did Yuan Shang mention? If it was hazardous, then they shouldn’t go. Why did he have such an expression?
Shang Yuan said the monsters were gathered at the military arsenal he revealed to Ye Zhongming. Yuan Shang was lucky and took the weapons before the monsters arrived at the place. Most of the guns were still there. It wasn’t that he didn’t want it; he didn’t have a chance.
Everyone slowly found out about that place. Some wanted to take advantage, but not many of them managed to return.
Thus the terrifying stories started to spread.
The green-skinned monsters that occupied the place were vicious. They were all really strong and were similar to one star evolved.
They ate humans and also mutated lifeforms. Thus, the arsenal they occupied was covered in corpses.
They ate the meat but didn’t eat the crystals, which was why they were all around. As long as you occupied the area, not only could you get many weapons, you could get many crystals too. It was killing two birds with one stone.
This didn’t include what those survivors left when they tried to test their luck.
Such a place did tempt many factions. Even Yuan Shang said many factions in Ying City were interested in that place.
“Although Boss Ye just came, I know your strength. If you are willing to help, I can guarantee that those joining will be rewarded.”
Yuan Shang patted his chest, “Although Black Cloak Motorcade and I aren’t the strongest in this place, my reputation is good, and I am well connected. All the bosses give me face. If Boss Ye wants to go, leave all other problems to me.”
Ye Zhongming looked at him and slightly pouted.
You were so sure you could occupy that place? Just a few factions? You can’t even confirm the outcome and want to split the rewards. Are you asking to die?
Those were Demon Monsters!
Even ten years later, such beings were nightmares for survivors.
Ye Zhongming didn’t expect to hear about Demon Monsters around the base he had chosen on the first day.
His luck was terrible.
Yuan Shang and the others didn’t know what Demon Monsters were, so they were looking at them like zombies. Although they respected them a lot, Ye Zhongming knew it wasn’t enough. There was no such thing as too much respect for such monsters.
In his last life, Demon Monsters were confirmed to be humans that suffered from radiation. After some unknown process, they turned into such monsters.
Demons, Ghosts, Gods, etc., often represented terror in the hearts of survivors. Thus such things were called Demon Monsters.
Demon Monsters were powerful such that they became a race ten years later. Demon Monster, Bugman, Beasts, Zombies, and Mutated Plants are these five things that suppress humans. Each one of them could add pressure on survivors.
Among them, Demon Monsters and Bugman were what humans feared the most.
Just talking about Demon Monsters; they were humans after radiation. They lost their humanity and became bloodthirsty monsters. Everything was their food. Moreover, they were really strong such that it caused one to tremble.
Yuan Shang didn’t know much, but Ye Zhongming did. These Demon Monsters didn’t have crystals to represent their levels; you just had to look at their height. One meter evolved like one star; each 50 centimeter meant one evolution. 5-meter tall ones were equal to a nine-star evolved.
They didn’t have any skill, and they were a race that relied on their bodies. Their bodies, from their skin to organs, head to toes, each part, each cell was really strong. Defense, attack, speed, strength, recovery, and agility all reached a peak. If an evolved didn’t have a good job or skills and faced a same-level demon monster, they had no chance.
No demon crystals and no useful stuff, but they were really strong. No one wanted to touch such a presence as the rewards weren’t proportionate.
The terrifying thing was that they would reproduce, and their reproduction ability was strong.
More terrifying was that they would capture females and even female zombies to make them pregnant and reproduce!
Ye ZHongming remembered how shocked he was when he heard this news.
Many people were like him. They felt like this was unbelievable, and it made no sense. When human survivors had low birth rates and even lower life expectancy, there was a monster with strong reproductive ability. Moreover, it didn’t need to care about humans or zombies!
Such a thing was the natural enemy of humans.
There was a stage where all survivors were killing these monsters as they realized they were in danger of being wiped out.
But it wasn’t effective. Or instead, humans ended up in defeat. They couldn’t stop them from becoming a race. A race that could cause human extinction at any moment.
Humans started to study these monsters and found out about their background and some secrets. But Ye Zhongming’s status was too low to find out. He only heard that those gods created them.
