In an apocalypse, a team was really important.
Giving a simple example, in the apocalypse, hunting monsters and mutated monsters was a common mission. If a three star evolved wanted to accept such a mission, then at most he could only deal with a three star monster. Those with stronger equipment or jobs could try to kill level four monsters but they also had to choose some solo targets. Once the monsters grouped up, not to mention level three, they couldn’t even offend level two monsters.
But teams were different. With a similar quest, if there was a team made up of three three star evolved, then they could totally challenge a four star evolved. If one had proper strategies, one could try killing level five mutated monsters! What a team gained was naturally not something that one person could compare to. Even if the rewards were split among three, that would far exceed what a single person could get.
A team was safer and gave more gains which made people grow stronger much more quicker.
In the apocalypse, strength was the only thing that one could rely on.
Ye Zhongming was a member of a team and his relationship with his teammates was not bad too, they were true brothers. But he didn’t know where they were now. Some of them he knew the address of but he wasn’t planning on heading over as he had something else to do now.
Honestly, Ye Zhongming hadn’t thought about building a team before this. At least before he found his brothers and sisters in his last life, he didn’t have such a thought.
But Mo Ye’s appearance tempted him.
This girl was really a good seedling to start a team with.
She was skilled and professionally trained. She also probably knew some kungfu so her base was much better than others. Such an elite talent was really rare and after evolving, she would be much stronger than people of the same level.
More importantly, she had a sense of justice and was willing to help people. She was kind and knew how to work together.
A team was really strong but you had to be able to trust those in the team. If not, if someone betrayed you at a crucial moment, then all gains were just useless.
In the past, Ye Zhongming was not in charge of recruitment and all of that was up to the captain. But things were different and he had to make plans for the future.
After suppressing this thought, Ye Zhongming decided to test this woman.
The Blood Tongue Lizard gave off a tempting scent and Yellow Ball was already drooling. It stared and waited for Ye Zhongming to give it some.
Mo Ye was really unwilling. She scattered some spices while covering her nose. It was as if she would vomit if she sniffed it.
Ye Zhongming gave Yellow Ball a slice of the tongue that was cut into three and that dog consumed it swiftly. It then licked its tongue and looked at Ye Zhongming in hopes of getting more.
Ye Zhongming sliced a few pieces on a plate and passed them to Mo Ye. This girl took many steps back and insisted on not eating.
Ye Zhongming didn’t force her, leaving some for himself and the rest for Yellow Ball.
Yellow Ball was evolving so eating more would be good for him.
He found a fork and ate all the meat, making his body feel warm. He knew that this was a gene energy that could make his body better and even help to regain mental energy.
As his body digested the meat, Ye Zhongming felt like his mental energy recovery speed was much quicker. Although it was at a low level but at least it wouldn’t affect his body already.
He stood up to do a few movements and knew that he could continue to fight as long as he didn’t use his job skills.
“Let’s go.”
After packing up, Ye Zhongming picked up his bag and prepared to head out.
“Where to?”
Mo Ye asked. She was actually a little tired. Although this place had a disgusting scent but at least it was safe. If they could rest for a night, that would be great.
“Take some stuff and prepare for tomorrow.” Ye Zhongming looked at the tired Mo Ye and said, “I know that you are tired but if things go well, this time tomorrow you will obtain that strength.”
Mo Ye was energetic when she heard that. She placed a fruit knife on her body and followed Ye Zhongming out. As for the white colored blade, he took it back.
Ye Zhongming was prepared to head back to the armed forces building to find Liang Chuyin. She had a mutated willow branch and with his job skill he could make it into a decent weapon.
There were many zombies around the tennis court and on a rough count, there were around a few hundred. If he had a team, even if they didn’t evolve, he was confident in killing them all in two hours.
That was a few hundred level one crystals. If he spun the wheel, he could get many one star strengthening potions which was a decent fortune.
But it was just Mo Ye and him so he wasn’t confident in killing so many. As such, he could only give up.
After recovering some stamina, along with the skilled Mo Ye, the two of them didn’t face many dangers. A dozen zombies were killed and provided him with some level one demon crystals.
While moving forwards, Mo Ye finally got too curious to ask Ye Zhongming what use were they for. He didn’t hide anything and told her about the gachapon. Her expression was really vibrant.
Close to ten hours had passed and the power, natural gas and communications were all gone. The only thing that was normal was still the water. But anyone that wasn’t a fool would know that you couldn’t drink it. It was contaminated and normal disinfection didn’t work anymore.
Survivors were starting to get hungry and thirsty. Ye Zhongming and Mo Ye saw over a thousand zombies surrounding the school supermarket, much more than those at the tennis court. Those scenes made Mo Ye numb. The reason why such a thing occurred was because many students came to find food but were found out by zombies. Who knew what kind of scenes there were inside the supermarket?
Heading around the zombies, the two of them were beside the armed forces building. It was quiet and there weren’t many zombies there.
Mo Ye wanted to head from the front door but Ye Zhongming stopped her. She didn’t understand but he pointed to the second floor where there was some light. Some shadows were reflected. These people were split into two groups and were facing off.
He signaled to Mo Ye before coming to a tree and pointing at the second floor window.
She understood. She could climb up empty handed, much less having someone to help her. She stepped on the blade handle and jumped up to the window.
.
Ye Zhongming had it simpler. He pulled out his blade and stepped on the wall before jumping high up. He pushed himself up with one hand before jumping into the building. Even Yellow Ball didn’t need help at all as it leaped up, far exceeding what normal dogs could do which shocked Mo Ye.
The two of them were at the end of the second floor which should be an office before the apocalypse. It was simple and there were many random items here.
The door was open and the lock was on the ground so someone definitely tried to enter with force. It should be those survivors who were here.
The two of them looked at one another and after telling Yellow Ball to calm down, they came to the door and heard quarreling noises.
