Chapter 500: Cleaning
If one looked solely at the value of the Cannibal Flower, naturally, it wouldn’t make Ye Zhongming happy. But anyone who lived a second life would know how tough defending a base was.
Sometimes, a base's survival represented a faction's strength and prosperity.
Ye Zhongming’s plan needed a stable and healthy base.
Thus, when this plant that could be used for defense appeared, he was very excited as this was an important part of the defense system.
Overall, the apocalypse’s defense was in a few areas: land, human, animal, plant, and infrastructure.
The land was easy to understand. For example, Cloud Peak was easy to defend. Its back was against a cliff, with only one path ahead. Humans meant the evolved level, which Cloud Peak was decent.
Infrastructure referred to the walls, Explosive Lightning Turret, demon crystal cannons, etc.
Animals and plants might not stand out, but they were very important in the future. They might be even more important than geography. There were many bases in the future whose defense depended on beasts or dangerous plants.
Although the Ginseng Fruit was planted below the walls, they were at most a warning. The really useful thing was in the low-grade demon crystals and the fruits that could be eaten. They weren’t of much help in a real fight.
But the Cannibal Flower was different. If an enemy attacked and there were Gilted Cannibal Flowers on both sides of the wall…
This was what was exciting.
He looked at the seeds and decided to speed up the process. It was time to make some mutated lifeforms to feed this fellow.
He took the materials like the Fake Ghost Tree’s branches. Ye Zhongming and Liang Chuyin left the place. Ye Zhongming still had many things to do in the next few days.
………………………………………………………………………………
When Ye Zhongming was firming up Cloud Peak’s foundations step by step, the various factions in Cloud Peak received his invitation.
More accurately, he was informing them.
His message was clear: they could choose not to go but would have to scram from Ying City.
It was still that renovated bomb shelter made into a wine bar. Still, that room was the deepest in the place, but only two people were there this time.
Only a week passed, but Bai Feng looked much older. An evolved’s lifespan had increased, and as a four-star evolved, aging would only leave traces after 20 years. But Bai Feng’s looks terrified Zhao Xingmei.
After the initial shock, the disdain in her eyes recovered.
Bai Feng saw it, but he didn’t say anything.
He wanted to go and leave this place, but reality gave him a heavy blow.
The subordinates who cursed Ye Zhongming for being a traitor and working with zombies chose to go against him when he suggested leaving Ying City. The resistance was on the surface, especially after that giant wheel appeared above Cloud Peak.
His men weren’t willing to give up on the city they were familiar with. They weren’t willing to abandon the promise that the zombie king wouldn’t attack normal evolved. They felt like this was the best place to live.
Bai Feng thought about leaving alone. He was a five-star evolved and was an expert everywhere he went, but he didn’t. He couldn’t forget how tough it was to start over and wasn’t willing to abandon his mature battle squad.
He couldn’t give up on the habit of enjoying the profits first.
It wasn’t much at first; he could just be a turtle. Although he had complicated feelings towards Ye Zhongming, he knew that he was an honest person. The things in the past were over, and he wouldn’t take revenge.
But to head to Cloud Peak?
Bai Feng smiled bitterly. He couldn’t even be a turtle if he wanted.
He subconsciously found Zhao Xingmei to discuss. In his impression, the two were connected, but this woman gave him a huge blow.
“We are different. I only didn’t help Cloud Peak when they were in danger, and Star Beauty Company paid the price. There is nothing between us; this is a chance to work together. If you want an ally, I am not one.”
Zhao Xingmei spun the cup in her hands, and her ice-cold tone filled Bai Feng with disgust.
“Moreover, you have made up your mind. You called me to ease your mind and find a reason to make yourself feel better.”
Bai Feng stared at her in rage, but she stared back.
“Walk your path.”
After saying that, she didn’t even look at him and left. Leaving Bai Feng, who drank cup after cup.
Cloud Peak, inviting factions in the name of Ye Zhongming, swept Ying City. People cursed, people were suspicious, and many were discussing what was happening.
But no matter how badly they cursed in the dark, on the second day of the message, some factions headed towards Cloud Peak.
This was a message. In just two short days, the survivors in Ying City all left for Cloud Peak!
Not long after, a bloodbath would occur.
…………………………………………………………………………
Most factions chose to head to Cloud Peak, but some didn’t go. Jill Warrior Squad was one of them. In terms of strength, they were the strongest.
As they joined the Glory Army, Ye Zhongming even killed their deputy leader, killing a third of their members in that square; both sides were enemies.
So when Boss Wengang returned, he chose not to head to Cloud Peak.
He couldn't get to Cloud Peak on time, as three days had passed since the message was spread. Two guests appeared at the Jill Warrior Squad’s base.
Wengang was already a five-star evolved and was one of the most elite people in Ying City. But when he saw the two women, he was sweating.
“Tell me the answer, and then scram from Ying City!”
There was a cold voice, and the scythe that gave off a silver light reminded them of the Grim Reaper.
“I… Can’t say.” Wengang’s voice was hoarse.
Xia Bai looked at Red Hair, who was even colder than her, and smiled, “Then die.”
A few thousand zombies drowned Jill Warrior Squad’s base a few minutes later.
