Xia Bai waved her hands and looked at her wounds heal quickly. No matter how calm she was, she was still a little shocked.
This… How did this happen?
She just changed boots?
Ye Zhongming sat at a side and smiled.
Xia Bai was severely injured. If not for her being stubborn and her mind being different from ordinary people after that incident, she wouldn’t have been able to hold on for so long. She would have long died from her injuries.
But even after Ye Zhongming saved her, there wasn’t much hope of her surviving. Her body was severely damaged.
Without Park Xiuying, Ye Zhongming had only one way to save Xia Bai.
Blood Stepping Boots, Star Absorbing Satan.
There was a luscious forest near the dam. Standing here for a few hours with the boots would be enough if it were typical injuries.
But Xia Bai’s injuries were too heavy. The twin brothers blew her up, and then Bei Zi hit her so severely that she lost her ability to fight back. She was whipped a few hundred times on the lake island and was just a step from death.
It was impossible to heal such injuries just from plants.
Fortunately, Ye Zhongming had a lot of experience. He used Xia Bai’s blood and scent and mutated lifeforms moving in and out of the forest more at night. He used Moon Edge to help Xia Bai open a bed covered in flesh and blood.
It allowed her to absorb energy on this blood bed quickly.
At the start, Xia Bai couldn’t even stand up. Ye Zhongming helped her to change her shoes and then helped her up. Xia Bai could stand on her own in just an hour.
But Ye Zhongming didn’t explain anything, and Xia Bai didn’t ask. But from her gaze, Ye Zhongming could see the gratitude and a desire to… Make him like her.
Ye Zhongming knew the phrase wasn’t appropriate, but that was true. He had only seen such a gaze from Yellow Ball. That fellow looked like that when it shook its tail and begged for food.
How could a human have such a gaze? In the past, Ye Zhongming occasionally realized that she looked at him with a particular gaze. But he didn’t think much about it. After all, he had saved her life and helped her go from an average person to a two-star evolved. She was grateful to him and loyal to him.
But after he saved her this time, her gaze became like that. She was like a pet looking at her only Master.
Ye Zhongming smiled. After being momentarily shocked, he understood what was going on.
It didn’t matter, and there was nothing terrible about that. He needed someone like that who could live and die for him.
Footsteps could be heard as this woman walked down from the blood bed.
Ye Zhongming frowned. Two hours passed, and there weren’t many high-level mutated lifeforms on the bed. That bit of time was not enough for her to heal up. Based on what he estimated, they probably needed to wait until the sky lit up for her to regain half of her combat strength.
“I am okay.”
Xia Bai squatted beside Ye Zhongming like it was a travesty for her to stand taller than the sitting Ye Zhongming.
“I know Master is busy. I am okay.”
Ye Zhongming looked at her and nodded.
“Ride this bike back to the base and tell them to send a team to that armory to move things. We can send fewer people, but we must have many cars.”
Xia Bai nodded. She never asked why and she just needed to execute.
She bent down to want to return the boots, but he stopped her.
“Wear it, return it to me when you are recovered.”
If it was Xia Lei, Ye Zhongming might joke and say that his leg wasn’t smelly. But he really couldn’t bring himself to make that joke to Xia Bai.
Ye Zhongming didn’t let her take it off, so she didn’t take it off. She turned to ride the bike.
“Bei Zi, I will slice his hands and feed them to the dogs!”
She stepped on the throttle and left.
He looked at her back view. This subordinate was good. After which, he moved towards the armory.
Ye Zhongming solved two crises. He was confident that Xia Lei would deal with East Mountain Village. Moreover, Ye Zhongming also told her a secret about East Mountain Village, and he knew that Uncle Hai wouldn’t dare to say anything.
As for Ying City Jail, their attempt at crushing the villa was temporarily solved, and revenge wouldn’t come so quickly. What they had to face would be that zombie horde.
Zombie hordes and beast hordes were the most terrifying things in the apocalypse. Even Ye Zhongming feared such things. People who had never been through such a thing couldn’t imagine how scary it was.
Even if those zombies and mutated lifeforms were the lowest-level ones!
The theory was simple. Like a stampede, a 1.9-meter guy surrounded by thin 1.6-meter fellows. That strong guy could hit down one person after another, and he alone could deal with a few dozen. But during a stampede, his height was useless, and he would get forced down by thin people and then step to death.
The zombie horde was like that. Not to mention Ye Zhongming was just a two-star evolved. If he was three or four stars, he had to escape when he met a ten thousand-strong zombie horde.
Moreover, there wasn’t a horde just made up of regular zombies. They were all a mix of higher leveled and low-level zombies. Such a horde was far more terrifying.
The intel said that there were more than twenty thousand. That might not be accurate, but the rough number should be okay. With their current strength, there was no way they could stop it.
But how would Ye Zhongming be willing to give up on such a great base?
Since that was the case, he could only fight.
Thus, Ye Zhongming turned his eyes to the armory the three factions failed to take down even after working together.
They could defend the base as long as they had enough guns and firepower.
What Ye Zhongming had to do was something that the three factions couldn’t do.
It was tough. Ye Zhongming disagreed when Yuanshang asked him previously. Moreover, he was the only one now.
But Ye Zhongming felt he could do it, just that the sacrifices would be huge. But at this point, he had no choice.
The sun rose from the east; Ye Zhongming relied on the Stamina Fountain and spent a night running to the armory. He looked out and saw marks from the battle a few days ago.”
A few short figures entered and headed out from the armory, and they would even make weird sounds.
Ye Zhongming sucked in a deep breath and jumped out from where he was hiding. He whistled toward the Demon Monsters in the distance!
