If the middle-aged woman was that famous Human Builder Hong, Ye Zhongming didn’t know how to face her.
Kill her?
After all, many people who killed without blinking felt like this Human Builder Hong was the devil reincarnate. Not only did she mesh humans and mutated lifeforms together to form terrifying monsters, but she was also really cruel to humans. There was often news about bases being wiped out by her.
She even had other nicknames like Cannibal Hong, Crazy Hong, etc, which showed how hated she was.
But one couldn’t deny that she was one of the best scientists in the apocalypse. She was even top three in the most famous least. Ye Zhongming felt that if not for her bad reputation, she would be the chief scientist of the apocalypse.
Le Dayuan was also a Master, but that was in crafting. Liu Zhenghong was a master, but that was in biology.
Both of them were leaders in their fields. One was in helping humans go against monsters and was called the father of the crystal weapons. The other was hated and was a monster scientist that people called Human Builder Hong.
Ye Zhongming nearly pulled the trigger on her.
“You want to kill me?” Liu Zhenghong didn’t understand, “From your expression, I can tell that you have heard my name before, but I don’t remember interacting with you. My memory is perfect. So what is the reason why you want to kill me?”
Maybe this woman often faced off against death, so she was sensitive to killing energy. She picked up Ye Zhongming’s sudden killing intent.
Ye Zhongming was stunned. I heard of you in my last life. You created a monster that went against human logic? Or were you very cruel in the last life and killed many humans?
Suddenly, Ye Zhongming realized that he had never seen this woman who was the ruler of the north. He had only heard of the news about her but were those true?
Taking a step back, even if those rumors were true, did he have a reason to kill this woman who hadn’t done anything in this life?
She had the blood of humans on her hands? Who didn’t in the apocalypse? Even Ye Zhongming had killed many in this life.
“Forget it. Up to you.” She ignored Ye Zhongming. She looked at Wang Xia’s stomach and took out a scalpel. She was about to cut it open.
“Are you crazy?”
Ye Zhongming pulled her aside.
Demon Monsters. Even those that are just born are dangerous. A weak one-star evolved like Liu Zhenghong might not be able to defeat a Demon Monster like that. She wanted to take it out. Wasn’t she asking for death? The Demon Monster could pierce through her body at once.
“You are going to kill me anyways, so I want to see how the descendent of the green-skinned monster and human females look like before I die! Is this a new breed or gene invasion, and will they take the father’s genes?”
She wanted to struggle free and continue slicing Wang Xia’s stomach open.
Ye Zhongming kicked her aside and walked in front of Wang Xia.
She saw her beg.
“Kill… It.”
She was frail, but Ye Zhongming understood.
He looked at the squirming Demon Monster in her stomach and stabbed Moon Edge. The unborn Demon Monster shook a little before dying.
Wang Xia smiled. But with her current state, her smile looked a bit twisted.
Her body shook, and she reached the last moment of her life. She said words others couldn’t understand, then her head slowly dropped.
“There is no point in that; you wasted a good specimen instead.” Liu Zhenghong stood up like she was not the one who got kicked previously. She frowned at Ye Zhongming, “You kill people so cleanly, so why are you so merciful towards that pregnant lady?”
Ye Zhongming wiped the blood off Moon Edge and said calmly, “You will understand in the future. In some special situations, you need to let humans die with less pain and torture. That would be something all survivors agree about.”
“Also, I have killed, I have killed many, but that doesn’t mean I kill just for fun.” Ye Zhongming kept Moon Edge and tilted his ear. There was the sound of cars which should be the villa.
“You want to continue your research?” Ye Zhongming asked Liu Zhenghong, who turned toward other pregnant ladies.
“I can’t think of anything more interesting than research.” She was in front of a zombie and took out a long blade to stab near its stomach. In just awhile, she dug out a small Demon Monster. She had gloves on and started to touch its body. The sticky and smelly liquid dripped off its body.
Ye Zhongming felt numb.
This woman was weird!
“I will give you the relevant conditions and will provide you with specimens. I can even give you potions that you need to evolve. How about you come to my base?”
Ye Zhongming considered and felt like killing such an outstanding scientist was a waste. He could try to push her to do something good. This past Human Builder Hong, might have had other talents and not just focused on creating a new breed.
More importantly, he saw something that he could make use of. If he used her well, she might help him even more than Le Dayuan.
“En? Getting a subordinate?” She didn’t lift her head and started studying the zombie’s empty stomach. She used the scalpel to slice about within.
Ye Zhongming had to look away. Even with his experience, he felt like this was disturbing. He wasn’t afraid; he just felt like it was disgusting.
“You can think of it that way.”
“You are direct and cute.”
Liu Zhenghong stood up and carefully placed the baby into a pocket in her clothing. She removed the gloves while smiling at him, “Actually, that is possible, but I don’t think you have anything to make me follow you.”
Ye Zhongming shrugged, and a potion that looked different from usual appeared in his hands, which he passed to her.
She looked at it and even took a sniff. A bright light appeared in her eyes.
“Deal, Boss!”
