When news of this new base spread across the land, this leader was doing an operation.
Zhang Jinghong’s gloves were dyed red. His stable hands were shaking slightly.
He had never seen such a weird situation.
At this moment, thin branches wiggled in the stomach that he sliced open. It even slapped his wrist, and it still hurt.
Since last night that Ye Zhongming brought him back. He ate a few meals and took a nap. Today he stood on the operation table and did a terrifying surgery.
“Calm down. Can these be even more scary than balls of maggots?”
Ye Zhongming frowned. He wore a mask and grabbed those light branches.
“Pull these out from the veins and the veins, and the surgery would be mostly done. Next is your job. Do you see those white roots? Dig along them and dig them all out.”
Zhang Jinghong felt this was more scary than maggots, but he didn’t dare say that. He focused on pulling out the roots burrowed into the various organs.
No blood infusion, no oxygen, no anesthesia, they just knocked this girl called Sister Rong out, and this surgery happened in this room that wasn’t disinfected.
This was something Zhang Jinghong couldn’t imagine in the past. Beside him was a fat nurse who he didn’t know which nursing school she graduated from. Just one look, and she wasn’t very professional. The other was the Boss Ye, that brought him here, and a more beautiful female named Park.
Although he had never done such a simple surgery before, he witnessed the magic of this world.
Each time he used his exquisite skills to slice the organs to remove the roots, that beauty would reach out and activate a white chain. She would gently touch the area that he sliced. It would last two seconds, and when the light disappeared, that would heal.
Zhang Jinghong understood a little more about this world.
After four hours, girls that he said would have no chance of surviving didn’t even need stitches as their wounds all disappeared. They had stable breathing, and it was as if they were asleep.
“Doctor Zhang, good work; you are tired. Go back to rest. During these few days, there will be two more similar surgeries that you have to do.”
Ye Zhongming patted his shoulder, and his tone was one of praise.
Sister Rong’s surgery was better than expected, and he was the main reason. Ye Zhongming didn’t expect that this guy younger than 40 was so good with a scalpel. He was godlike.
Maybe describing a doctor’s skill like that wasn’t suitable, but that was true.
.
Mo Mo, Jia Yi, and the other girls waiting outside surrounded her. They felt much better when they heard that the surgery was a success and Sister Rong was fine. But when they saw the saplings, shock appeared on their faces.
Who knew that the fruits were fake? They were just parasites on the body. Without Ye Zhongming, she would become a treant in just a few days.
When Mo Mo and Jia Yi thought about the saplings in their bodies, they charged forwards.
They vomited.
After he walked out of this villa that was used for medical purposes, Xia Lei walked forwards.
“Violent ruler, your karma is here! I represent the moon to punish you.”
Xia Lei waved a pile of papers and said viciously to Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming scoffed and replied, “Please pay attention to your age.”
She pulled out Moon Edge and grumbled about wanting to battle him.
“I will let you a hand!” Ye Zhongming said in disdain, then laughed, “What is it?”
She laughed too, but then she frowned.
“I don’t know why you rush to recruit people, but congrats. Black Cloak Motorcade is doing well. Over 300 people came in the last three days. Especially yesterday, after we cleared the zombies, the roads reaching here are safe. More and more people are coming, and over a hundred came today.”
“We can slowly build the base. If we rush, then many problems will appear.” Xia Lei looked at the stubborn Ye Zhongming and had the urge to bite him, “The most obvious one is the grain problem.”
“Lu Yi’s storage region didn’t have much food, along with the ones we traded for; with the old numbers, it would last us two months. But now, not considering the increasing number of members, the remaining food will only last us less than a month. If we recruit more…”
“En, what else?”
Xia Lei bit her teeth, “This problem is already huge. What if we finish the food? Drink milk?”
Ye Zhongming looked at her chest and didn’t say anything. But that made her face flush red. But after all, she was used to such jokes and pushed her chest forwards provocatively.
Now it was Ye Zhongming’s turn to lower his head and cough.
“There is also the collection of abandoned cars and metals. Many people came to trade, requiring grain, and some wanted crystals. But we listened to you and disagreed. Although we paid many things for the car, we got a few dozen, so that won’t be a problem. But if more people trade, that would cause our problematic grain situation to get worse.”
Ye Zhongming still nodded and didn’t answer the question.
Xia Lei didn’t care anymore and continued, “That is just the obvious ones. More problems are appearing, like their lives, cleanliness, safety, stability, health, etc. Like how the news is attracting the attention of other factions, like…”
“There are many problems. What does Old Grandfather Ye want to do?”
The two of them walked and spoke, and they were near the survivor camp. The newcomers were arranged in the meeting region. This place was separated from the other regions using iron ropes, and sentries were around.
They sat outside in small groups. Some talked to one another, looked into the sky, and walked around.
“There are still many work attires in the storage region, right? Take them out, let these people wash up, and then change into them. Put some level one mutated animal minced meat into their food to raise their body’s quality. As a temporary exercise, tell them to clear the fake mountain in the meeting hall region. Before our wall building starts, let them get adapt to things.”
“Okay.”
“Don’t stop collecting abandoned cars. It is what I use to make blades. Nothing is too much. We will rely on this to create equipment.”
Xia Lei felt warm in her heart. She knew that he was only telling her this because he trusted her.
“Tell Little Tiger to speed up on the training; he doesn’t have to teach them everything, just how to stand in teams and be disciplined. I will give him at most five more days. We will head to the machine factory once Sister Rong and the other two are much better.”
Xia Lei memorized all this in her mind.
“Zhongming!”
Liang Chuyin ran from another direction with a solemn expression on her face.
“A group of people are at the gate, and they dragged many cars and people. They want to do a trade with us. There are many of them, and they have weapons. They looked quite fierce, also… A little arrogant.”
“Do they want to die?” Xia Lei opened her eyes wide, and killing intent surged from her body.
“Go, let’s take a look.” Ye Zhongming smiled and brought the two girls out. He asked, “Did they say where they came from?”
“No.” Liang Chuyin replied, “But one of Uncle Lu’s men said they are from Ying City jail.”
Ye Zhongming stopped, and his eyes squinted, “Zhang Dalong’s men?”
…………………………………………………………………………
At the gate, a short but strong bald head was sitting on the top of a trailer. He had a cigar in his right hand and looked down on Xiang Tao, who was in charge of defense today.
Behind him was a long motorcade with abandoned cars stacked on them. Many of the vehicles had fresh blood stains. Behind those cars were also a hundred dirty survivors protected by armed guards.
“That beautiful girl went in for so long; is she even coming out? If there is no news, I won’t wait anymore; I will charge in!”
