Chapter 495: You don't want to do something else
Sha Sha left Ye Zhongming’s room in confusion and looked at Xia Lei, leaning on a pillar of the villa. She smiled awkwardly.
Although nothing happened between them, Sha Sha was sure Ye Zhongming peaked at her. If not, how would he know what was on her body? She even kissed Ye Zhongming the night the poppy wheel disappeared. Now that she saw his girlfriend, it was normal to be awkward.
Xia Lei crossed her arms and sized up Sha Sha. After noticing nothing, she stopped caring and just entered the villa.
Sha Sha pouted; she shrugged and left.
She didn’t want to hear things that would make her embarrassed.
Xia Lei’s expression changed after she entered. She hugged the guy who was looking outside and rested his head on her chest. Her hands ruffled his dark hair and started to massage his scalp.
Ye Zhongming relaxed.
“Good that they cleared the area around. Send people to occupy these areas. Build a base in the villages and towns.”
“En.” Xia Lei agreed. Now that her guy was back, he was in charge, and she didn’t have to use her brain.
“We lack people. This is a key point for the near future. Stop the hunts and send people out to find people. Try to recruit normal people. We don’t need warriors but farmers.”
Ye Zhongming was not doing this for no reason. He left for some time, so many things were delayed. From now on, the food problem will be an issue. Food storage would change after the year, so not much remained. The things from the wheel were too little and couldn’t meet the food demand. Hunted meat could only solve a small portion, and it was not enough.
Ye Zhongming was originally not in a rush to solve this problem as the food crisis was relative. Those factions with skill would not be troubled much. Cloud Peak would not be hungry under him.
But after this incident, he knew he had to pay attention. He faced a few factions, and there might be an intense conflict. Although he said that he didn’t need warriors, on the contrary, as compared to the super factions, Ye Zhongming’s gap wasn’t in high-level combat strength, not weapons and equipment but people.
The number of warriors was comparable to one division of the Glory Army, at most two.
That was too little. If there was a war, what mattered were numbers.
Moreover, Ye Zhongming was planning to build a super faction. The plan had to change, so the population was a problem he had to solve.
With population, he would have warriors.
“But if there are too many normal people, what about potions?” Although Xia Lei was too lazy to think and just wanted to hug him, she was in charge for so long and asked some questions instinctively.
Now was the evolution wave, and level one zombies and mutated lifeforms were reducing. That meant level-one crystals were getting lesser, and so were one-star potions. Ying City markets would often appear one-star potions trading for close to a two-star potion. It seemed illogical, but it wasn’t. To become evolved, many normal people were willing to pay more and were extorted by those who had such potions.
Even Cloud Peak didn’t have many one-star potions.
“Don’t worry about that, I can solve it.” Ye Zhongming clapped her hand, “Clear 20 meters of space below the walls. I will plant something that can help defend and solve the problem of low-level crystals.”
She knew her guy was magical, so she didn’t ask and just agreed.
“Cloud Hoove eggs?”
“They are in Sister Hong’s lab.”
Ye Zhongming nodded, but she was suddenly squeezed.
Xia Lei smiled and continued to push half his head into her chest.
“Send people to Ying City to inform all the factions to come to Cloud Peak for a meeting in five days. Those who don’t come scram out of Ying City.”
Xia Lei was shocked. But thinking about Cloud Peak’s current strength, it made sense.
“What other instructions?”
Xia Lei used more strength.
“We might have to help Cloud Port, not only help, but I also need to prove something and earn from there. Moreover, we need to form an alliance, not those life and death ones, but at least for information.”
He offended many factions, so he wasn’t a fool. He planned to get help. At least, he had to know information that was bad for him.
“I will lead a third of the people over. You can choose. Don’t choose those strong ones; mid-level is enough.”
Xia Lei memorized it.
“And?”
“Also…”
She used more strength, and the frequency was not a massage but a rub.
Ye Zhongming said a word before stopping.
“We hadn’t met for half a year, and you are telling me all this work stuff. You don’t want to do something else?”
“Do something else?” He smiled and teased the woman behind him.
But he underestimated her strength. She carried him up and tossed him onto the bed before riding on him. She ripped her clothing.
“This!”
Her body sunk.
Three hours later, the tables turned, and Xia Lei’s voice spread out.
“You are a monster…”
Half an hour passed.
“Go find Chuyin, I can’t anymore…”
Another half an hour.
“Call Xia Bai, please let me go…”
Another half an hour.
“Anyone, find a few more, let me go…”
Another half an hour.
“Just kill me.”
