Ye Zhongming sucked in a deep breath and rejected his suggestion. That surprised this boss. After all, he felt like there were many benefits. If not for them wanting to maintain neutrality, he wanted to go too. He even hoped that Ye Zhongming would agree so he could head over to enjoy the fun. After all, East Mountain Village, his motorcade, Boss Ye’s team, Lou Family, and the Hungry Tiger Warriors should be enough to wipe those monsters out.
Wouldn’t that be easy?
Yuan Shang didn’t understand.
But this was his freedom. The two of them spoke for a while and discussed what Cloud Peak needed. Yuan Shang felt a bit of regret, but he was still pleased with all the money he earned.
“You seem afraid of these monsters?” Xia Lei wrote something in a book while asking Ye Zhongming, who was deeply thinking.
“Those things are called Demon Monsters; they are really strong.”
Ye Zhongming took out a cloth to wipe his blade. This was a habit from his last life.
Le Dayuan and Candy listened; they knew what was said next would be significant.
“A month after the apocalypse started, although there were large-scale rescue operations, we saw a missile fly across, right?”
Xia Lei and Le Dayuan nodded; they did see it that day.
“But did you think why, when the race was about to go extinct, why humans didn’t use… Those large-scale weapons? Like nuclear missiles?”
The three of them were stunned. They did think about it before but didn’t pay much attention.
“Maybe they did, but they used it far from us, so we didn’t feel it.” Candy waved the flask in her hand.
Le Dayuan nodded, “That is possible. Moreover, the apocalypse was too sudden, and there weren’t any signs. Maybe those places fell immediately, so they didn’t fire it.”
“Right, that is possible. Even if they had the ability, people were careful considering how they killed everything.”
Ye Zhongming shook his head, “Humans are about to go extinct; why would they consider so much?”
“Those,” Ye Zhongming pointed in the sky, and everyone understood. Those golden warships, “During that attack, those people ignited those weapons.”
The three of them opened their mouths and wanted to retort, but thinking about how much Ye Zhongming understood the apocalypse, they felt it made sense.
“Demon Monsters appeared after humans released those nuclear weapons. They are terrifying and are also very strong. There are maybe a hundred there. If that is the case, even if we go…”
Ye Zhongming didn’t finish, but few felt that their boss was telling them… Defeat.
Candy didn’t overthink. But Le Dayuan and Xia Lei followed him since the new district base. They saw Ye Zhongming slay all problems, and he never lost. He didn’t even retreat once.
The team won all battles; when did they even lose?
But now. Were those Demon Monsters so terrifying? Even the boss was afraid.
Ye Zhongming didn’t want to say that they would be defeated.
If there were a hundred Demon Monsters, then if Ye Zhongming took out his trump card and worked with the others, they might be able to clear that place up.
But he had a base, and he was still building it. What Ye Zhongming needed to do was to fortify the place and gain resources. He had to protect his trump card so people won’t target this area.
There were seven wheels here; anyone would be tempted.
That was a massive loss if he only used all his strength in one area to get some weapons.
Even if Demon Monsters ended up as the enemy of humanity, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t be a fool to tank it all! His last life proved that such a thing couldn’t be wiped.
When he got strong, he didn’t mind clearing these tumors out bit by bit. But now, building the base was something he had to consider first.
So Ye Zhongming rejected Yuan Shang.
He hid the thought of such a monster that gave him PTSD and started to plan the base.
“Don’t touch the golf course; push the abandoned cars there. Autumn is coming. When summer starts, we need to farm and plant vegetables and grain.”
At night, Ye Zhongming gathered the members of the team as well as Lu Yi and Sister Rong, to discuss a map.
“This circle, “Ye Zhongming drew a line around the base, “Is where we build a wall. We need to surround the entire base.”
“This project is huge.” Le Dayuan touched his mouth. The circle contained a huge area, meaning the wall length had reached a shocking level.
“With our ability, can we do all these?” Xia Lei was suspicious. She considered more about the skill aspect.
“Uncle Lu has one who was an architect and is quite famous. He can solve the technical aspect, but we don’t have vehicles and building materials. We don’t have people, too; these are the problematic things.”
Mo Ye crossed her arms and frowned. She was in charge of registering the skilled workers and knew that there was such a person that could help them. But it was not enough; they didn’t have other things.
“We can leave this problem for later.” Ye Zhongming drew other circles, “For the next two days, we need to clear the area around. Sister Lei, Mo Ye, build a sentry system. We need posts at these few places. Master Le and your helpers, you need to set up some traps. Before the walls are built, these would be the defensive measures we depend on.”
Le Dayuan nodded. Since Ye Zhongming taught him many traps, his helpers and he would take them out to study. They were professionals and learned things more advanced than those traps. They modified those traps, which shocked Ye Zhongming himself. The future Father of crystal weapons could even make traps.
“Chuyin, Shengyuan, your job is to bring people down the mountain and protect the map maker. Draw the area around you and make a map. Make it very detailed; it will be beneficial for us.”
The two of them nodded right away.
“Little Tiger, you are in charge of training fighters. You set your plan; you can do anything during your free time. If you see good fighters in the coolies then you can select them, but you must ensure that there will be no problems.”
“Understood, boss.”
“That is all. Now back to the previous problem, which is building the wall.” Ye Zhongming took out another map. This was the one with Ying City, “This and this are the first places we are going to attack after clearing the problems around.”
Everyone looked at a part of the map at those two places.
Ying City’s Heavy Machine Factory.
Sunlight Building Material Market.
