Chapter 419: Only stop when I shout
After evolving, it had been a long time since Bai Feng felt hot.
But today, facing the sun, he started to sweat.
He glanced at Zhao Xingmei and saw some crystals in her hair.
So, the top person in Ying City would also feel nervous.
They looked at this army ahead. Even when they found out the truth, it didn’t feel real. They also felt terrified.
At first, when he had to face Demon Gold alone, he didn’t fear. When he was severely injured and got back up, he managed to deal massive injuries to that person. At that time, he didn’t know what fear was, even if he had lost an eye and an arm.
But now, when Zhao Xingmei and the other factions caught up to the target when he saw Tong Hu with his arms crossed, Bai Feng was sure that the man was back.
Zhao Xingmei couldn’t make Tong Hu listen; Bai Feng couldn’t either. Even Sister Ye couldn’t; only that guy could.
He wasn’t dead. He was back alive.
His being alive meant that more people were going to die.
This was his first thought. After which, he wondered if he would be one of those that would die.
It was not surprising that he thought that way. After Zhao Xingmei and he arrived here, although they didn’t see the guy, they saw three five-star evolved here.
Bai Feng knew that these people weren’t under that guy. But he just came back and made three five-star and also… Bai Feng tried to count, but he gave up. Anyways, there were over ten four-star evolved. When he returned to Cloud Peak, what would his core members get?
Bai Feng suddenly felt like the mechanical arm was very uncomfortable.
Both of them looked at each other, and none of them moved. But when those held hostage saw Bai Feng appear, many felt like they had hope and ran over.
But they ended up being slaughtered.
Be it Bai Feng, Zhao Xingmei, or the others, they just watched and didn’t move.
The situation quietened down. One could only hear some small team shunting zombies nearby.
Zhao Xingmei and Bai Feng looked at each other and finally walked toward the team—only two.
“Tong Hu, is, is Boss Ye back?”
Bai Feng noticed that his voice was a little hoarse. He was afraid of getting a definite reply.
“Does it have anything to do with you?”
Tong Hu’s face was filled with disdain. He glanced at these people and said.
Tong Hu didn’t feel much towards Zhao Xingmei. Although Star Beauty Company worked with Cloud Peak, it was mostly when Boss Ye was around. It was okay that they didn’t do anything in the face of danger.
But what about Bai Feng? Cloud Peak and Boss Ye saved his life and helped him to rebuild. Was that something he could replace by saying he put in effort for them? Even if he didn’t help, why did you reject him? What was going on with your mechanical arm? Did you think others didn’t know?
“Can we meet Boss Ye?”
Zhao Xingmei saw that Tong Hu did not like Bai Feng at all. If he spoke to them, they would get increasingly angry, and they might fight. She could only step out to see if she could meet the guy who disappeared half a year ago.
She also hoped. She wanted to know how strong that guy got after so long.
The gap between them… Was it much bigger?
“Wait, he went to do something.”
Both of them looked at each other and could only back off helplessly. They stood under the sun.
In just a while, more noise spread from a building, and that caused their expressions to change.
It was the sound of zombies gathering and moving.
Many survivors started to feel uneasy. Even if humans were, on average, two-star, when facing mutated lifeforms, they weren’t confident. Once their numbers reached a certain number, even Star Beauty Company would avoid them.
So many of them were gathered together, so it was normal that they attracted the zombies’ attention.
As expected, in just a few minutes, there were footsteps around.
“Boss, there are many zombies in the south.”
“Sister, the Bank Street is covered with zombies, and they are coming over. They will enter this street in ten minutes.”
“Boss Tong Hu, there is a horde of tens of thousands.”
“Ah Yang, zombies are coming, the number… I can’t count.”
Those voices spread far in the silent square. What they meant was that they were being surrounded in all directions. There were tens of thousands in each direction, and there were over 150 thousand in total!
This time, not only Bai Feng and Zhao Xingmei were anxious, but even Tong Hu and Ah Yang discussed.
“Very squeezy.”
A person walked out of the alley. When they heard that voice, many people shuddered, but when they looked at him, what they had guessed or imagined was finally proved.
Ye Zhongming was back.
He walked beside Bai Feng and Zhao Xingmei and looked at these ‘old friends.’ Ye Zhongming nodded, “Seems like you all have been doing well. All five-star and your equipment is white. White equipment that didn’t come from me.”
At least 30 thousand survivors were here, and they all glanced at Ye Zhongming’s face. No one dared to speak. Even those who had never seen him had heard of his legendary past. Even Bai Feng and Zhao Xingmei had to lower their heads to him, much less others.
“I know what you are worried about. Honestly, I am angry.” Ye Zhongming walked to a wide space and looked at the crowd.
“But this is the apocalypse, so choices made here might seem infuriating during peacetime. I can understand.” Ye Zhongming raised his voice, “But it doesn’t mean I can forgive. So, I will give all of you a chance to clear the debts.”
He raised his hand and pointed at this square, “This place will be the battlefield. You will fight the zombies. Only stop when I shout stop. When I shout stop, those who are still alive…”
“Will continue living.”
