Boss has spent close to a week inside.
Ah Yang and Tong Hu were on duty on the west side of Linhai City. The two led their teams and circled Linhai briefly before squatting on an abandoned roof to smoke.
Everyone had to face immense pressure in the apocalypse, so cigarettes and women became essentials to release stress. Many who didnt smoke or drink during peacetime got addicted to these habits to release their emotions. Many of them even found drugs to numb themselves when needed.
The evolveds body made one fearless when using such items.
Of course, if one was female, they could get addicted to men, too. Or, if they were willing, they could go for other women.
Due to his environment, Ah Yang was used to drinking and smoking and was even quite experienced at it. That became worse in the apocalypse. As he had a good boss, the core members of Cloud Peak were wealthy. He often used some crystals to trade for good quality wine and cigarettes for his hobbies.
Tong Hus wife kept him in check, so he only dared to smoke a few sticks occasionally. After the apocalypse started, especially since he followed Ye Zhongming, Little Li stopped caring about that. Anyways, the body wouldnt die from smoking, so it was up to him. Of course, she didnt allow him to spend demon crystals on cigarettes.
Tong Hu was using Ah Yangs cigarette today, and it was a high-grade good from the wheel.
En. Tong Hu replied. He saw Ah Yang about to light another stick and snatched it from him.
Smoke less; you are young but so addicted. If your sister sees this, she will scold you.
Ah Yang was the youngest core member, so they often lectured him, making him helpless.
I am already a five-star evolved; even if I smoked ten thousand sticks a day, I wouldnt get lung cancer.
Who knows, did boss tell you that?
Er, hearing Tong Hu say that, Ah Yang didnt say anything.
Sister Ye sent people back again. I heard that she wants Sister Lei to bring people over. She seemed worried about the bosss safety.
He didnt want Grandfather Tong Hu to nag, so he changed the topic. But what he said was what everyone in Cloud Peak was concerned about.
Boss should be fine. Tong Hu slapped the badge on his chest. After the box reached level two, there were a few more badges, and many of the core members had one.
The badge is normal. Boss even used it to exchange for an item.
Ah Yang looked at the badge in envy.
The way core members got equipment was based on who could use them the best; if not, then it would be based on contribution. There wouldnt be anything unfair.
Everyone knew Tong Hu had greatly contributed when the boss was in the Secret Realm. He was loyal, so he had the right to get the badge. Ah Yang was envious, but he wouldnt be jealous.
What did he exchange? Ah Yang was interested. After all, the badge had an independent system, and everyone was interested in that.
A weird expression appeared on his face, but he didnt reply, which frustrated Ah Yang. He recalled Liang Chuyins annoyed expression. Seemed like the thing the boss exchanged wasnt very proper; if not, everyone wouldnt be silent.
Where are your few brothers?
Tong Hu shook his head and didnt want to continue. Instead, he asked about Ah Yang and the kids from Peace Town who followed him.
They got a Group Battle Silk Manuscript from Cloud Port, so they went to battle those branches.
The branches were the nickname Ying City Alliance gave the Life-Taking Carrot.
As they spoke, they saw Ah Yangs little brothers return excitedly. Ah Yang asked why, and they said that they had a new breakthrough. They were able to get a few dozen meters further from the same spot.
Feels like they are weakening and dont hurt as much. Did I get stronger? one of them said gleefully.
Others might not think much about it, but Tong Hu was stunned and continued to ask, You said that the branches became weaker?
That teen was shocked. He thought about it and nodded, It feels that way.
Tong Hus eyes opened wide. He slapped his leg and hurried back.
Uncle Tong Hu, where are you going? We arent patrolling?
Ah Yang shouted.
Patrol for what? Stare at it yourself. I need to tell everyone the news!
Tong Hu rushed back to the camp like a gust of wind. In the tent at the center of the camp, Mo Ye also received surprising news.
How far are they from us?
Mo Ye was in charge of the entire Ying City Alliance and was very powerful. Xia Bai and her were the most powerful in the tent.
Based on their speed, if they dont rest, they would find us in half a day.
The one who spoke was a Ying City faction boss. He was in charge of being the furthest sentry. A few hours ago, he saw a dozen-strong car caravan driving over.
They didnt know if they were friendly, so they didnt alert them. They used their fastest speed to report to Mo Ye.
Mo Ye asked about the caravan before telling the guy to leave.
Boss is not out yet. Should we avoid conflict and try to avoid them?
Little Li wasnt afraid of problems; on the contrary, everyone knew that she and her husband were like berserkers; they werent afraid of death. She was thinking about the big picture.
Xia Ye rejected that idea.
No, we cant move. Zhongming came from here and would probably choose this place to return to. If we leave and he needs help, that would be a huge loss.
Mo Ye looked towards Liang Chuyin.
Chuyin, build the Violent Lightning Turret and prepare the demon crystal cannons. Inform the sentries to retract.
Lets see where this caravan came from. freew(e)bnovel.(c)om
The moment Mo Ye said that, Tong Hu entered the camp.
Officer Mo, Ah Yang said that the branches are weakening!
When they heard that, everyone in the camp stood up.
Things happened outside the city, and things were also unstable within. But Ye Zhongming didnt know what was happening. All his energy was being used on someone who brought surprising news that wasnt too surprising.
