Cheng Ze was stumbling when they looked down at him from the second floor window.
It was already lucky for the loser to survive. The unfortunate people had all turned into corpses, for example, Wang Zhen.
Ten minutes ago, Xia Lei fired a shot from the back, shattering Wang Zhen’s heart and also breaking his hope for the future.
In all the shock, Yellow Ball bit one of the stronger ones out of the few that followed Wang Zhen. The other two left alongside Cheng Ze.
This building that was totally burnt had only six people in it now. Mo Ye and Little Tiger looked at the back view of their teacher with a complicated expression and also at Ye Zhongming’s mountain-like back.
Two guys, two back views but what they represented were totally different.
One represented failure and one represented success.
The winner took back the card and the loser was exiled.
In the last life, Ye Zhongming would have chosen to kill anyone who tried to take his spoils but in this life, he wanted a different status so naturally he had to do things better. Killing Cheng Ze was simple but he would have to face the fact that Mo Ye might leave his side which was not an outcome he wanted.
“Send this meat and this immunity potion to him.” Ye Zhongming suddenly passed these things to the sad Mo Ye, “Although he didn’t handle the thing well but you two are teacher and student. With the immunity potion, it can strengthen his physique by a little. I hope that he will live.”
Mo Ye’s eyes looked a little more energetic. She bit her lower lip and didn’t know what to say.
This female cop was evidently better at holding the gun and not thanking someone.
Looking at Mo Ye leave, Xia Lei glanced at Ye Zhongming and mocked, “You already chased him away, don’t you think that doing this is a little fake?”
.
“Then you can be fake for me to see then.”
Xia Lei opened her mouth slightly in shock but she couldn’t say anything.
Indeed, if this was considered fake then maybe the survivors outside would hope for more people to be fake.
Ye Zhongming glanced at this beautiful woman and passed her something.
Xia Lei saw him pass her a one star evolution potion and she smiled, “What is this? The consolation prize for me killing a colleague?”
“No.” Ye Zhongming stretched his body and squinted his eyes, “The moment the apocalypse started, human relationships changed. Wang Zhen isn’t your colleague, he is just a greedy person wanting to make use of you. You didn’t fail him, even if you killed him, he deserved to die.”
Xia Lei shook her head, “The reason why I killed him is because I need your help. Even if he died, the person who killed him shouldn’t have been me.”
“Let me give you some advice, give up on such thoughts. If not, there might be a time soon when there would be a blade in your chest and you won’t know who that person who stabbed you is.”
“Do you always find a reason to kill?”
Ye Zhongming laughed, “I don’t think I am morally upright so I don’t need a reason when I kill.”
Her spine felt cold and felt that a red demon was hidden in this young man’s body. The red was made out of fresh blood.
“I am not noble too, I killed before for the law and justice, just now… It was for personal interests.”
This woman found it hard to answer to her conscience.
Ye Zhongming didn’t persuade her. These types of things had to be self internalised and he had said everything he should have.
“I hope you can keep your promise and send me there.”
Ye Zhongming nodded, “Although I am not a good person, but I will definitely do what I promised.”
A conflict that could have led to huge casualties disappeared just like that. It made Liang Chuyin and Park Xiuying realise that Ye Zhongming had the ability to change situations.
Actually, he was just good at noticing things he could make use of in the crowd.
Each person had their own desires and that was something Ye Zhongming firmly believed in. People had many desires during peacetime so much less in the apocalypse where there weren’t laws.
So before gathering everyone, he met Xia Lei whom Park Xiuying said was very fair.
The negotiation wasn’t too tough and it was so smooth that it took just a minute.
That was because she had a request.
She wanted to find her husband but these few days made her feel more and more despair. The dangerous outside world was one that she didn’t dare to face. Ye Zhongming found her and his condition was to kill Wang Zhen when needed. The compensation would be him protecting her to find her husband.
If it was someone else, they might not agree but Xia Lei had been through many life and death tests which were why she knew how to kill. Other people might disagree but Xia Lei had witnessed how cruel the apocalypse was so she dared to kill.
Knowing how to and daring to kill, thus everything happened.
One other thing was that Wang Lei did many things these few days that made her angry. He even disturbed her which gave her a reason.
The problem in the team was temporarily solved. But Ye Zhongming knew that he couldn’t calm down as the trio and even Wang Ding would be nearby. Since he woke up, he had to strengthen himself.
Although his injured body and right arm weren’t totally healed but he could use them. His mental energy was full so his overall state was still okay.
He started to count what he got from Pearl Lake.
First was what he lost. The biggest loss was definitely the new gun. It was either picked up or destroyed by the Chain Prisoner’s laser. As a marksman, he felt like he was missing something from his life. Next was the level two demon crystals which he used to recover mental energy. Last was his payment to others like the immunity potion and evolution potion.
As compared to what he lost, he gained much more. It made him think about the phrase, high risk high rewards.
The most valuable thing was definitely the one kilogram of ghost metal. Although he didn’t know how to use it, but in his last life, it was really precious, close to ten times the value of everything else he had.
Apart from ghost metal, he got two chomper seeds which were good things. As long as he planted them, they were the best to protect a home.
Others were a long distance potion recipe, space crystal, hell hound summoning card, terror goat leather, Goat Treasure, job upgrading scroll and also the Basic Summoning Technique that he had learned.
There were also other not important materials.
After counting everything, Ye Zhongming was considering how to use them. This was when he recalled something and after fiddling around, he took out something golden from his clothes.
