It was as if the noise outside had totally disappeared. Only Ye Zhongming’s question rang out in Jia Ming’s mind.
Own this base?
Honestly, this was a thought that Jia Ming didn’t even dream about.
But he knew that this guy was not joining with him. He said that he had killed Chef Jin and Director Wang so the past owners of this base were probably already dead.
“But, but I, am not even evolved.”
“I can let you evolve.”
“I, I, don’t have so many men.”
“Our country does not lack people.”
“But I don’t have management experience.”
“One does not need management experience in the apocalypse, just killing experience.”
Jia Ming still wanted to say something but he noticed that things that seemed so complicated to him were not a problem to Ye Zhongming at all.
“Why did you choose me?”
Jia Ming finally asked what he was most concerned about.
“Right, I think I can do so too.” Da Ming said so casually and that made everyone roll their eyes at him.
“Because I want to.”
Jia Ming opened his mouth and didn’t know what to say while Da Ming was shaking his head. Damn, this guy was so amazing. I want to choose you so I chose you.
Jia Ming took in a deep breath and stood up, his gaze became more and more firm.
“Okay, I agree. Then what, after I become the master of this place, what do I have to do for you?”
Admiration flashed in Ye Zhongming’s eyes. He was right about this Jia Ming, he was a person that knew when to advance and retreat.
“Naturally I have something that needs your help but that would wait until you take control of the entire base.” Ye Zhongming patted him, “Now let’s go see another person. With his support, it will make things easier.”
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Ocean Community District was the only peaceful region in the new district base.
Li Qiang led his men to patrol the area. Any place connected to the other districts were tightly guarded and anyone who dared to charge in was shot.
Many lucky ones were stationed at the entrance. They looked around at the base that was covered in flames and deep down they felt really fortunate.
If they had not entered this community, they might have ended up fleeing like those people. Those unlucky ones would have been trampled to death.
Li Qiang was standing on the sandbags used for defence and looked out with a complicated expression.
He wanted to let people in but he knew that if a breach was opened up, the crowd would surge in like a flood. This would turn the district into the same as the outside. He didn’t want the faction that he had run for so many days to be destroyed in just a moment.
Which was why he ordered to shoot. Those people ran away after seeing dozens of corpses and they didn’t dare to come back.
“Brother Qiang if this continues the base will collapse. Look there, that is the tunnel towards the outside. Many people are there and they have started to fight one another.” A person pointed into the distance.
Li Qiang naturally saw it too but there was nothing he could do. His men, their guns, it was barely sufficient to guard their district and he had no strength to care about anything else.
He was really worried. It wasn’t easy to find a place to survive in the apocalypse. If not for the base, Li Qiang didn’t have the confidence of surviving on the outside even though he had evolved.
He had seen how strong the mutated lifeforms outside were and he was certain that humans couldn’t stop them.
Li Qiang felt powerless against the chaos outside. He started to consider the way out. He looked at the tunnel going towards the outside and was hesitating about whether to lead people there to break out.
“What is Boss Li looking at?”
A voice rang out from behind him that caused his hair to stand on its ends. He suppressed his fear and turned around slowly to see the young man who had traded the recipe scroll with him standing five meters from him and smiling at him.
Even if he was stupid he knew what this short distance meant.
Li Qiang’s men panicked and all turned their guns towards Ye Zhongming. They were filled with disbelief. They didn’t know how he was just standing there without a sign. The closest person to Ye Zhongming was just two meters and even he didn’t sense a thing.
Ye Zhongming squinted his eyes and Li Qiang was like a scared rabbit. He shouted, “Put your guns down.”
They looked at one another and slowly placed their guns down.
It should be Ye Zhongming who felt relaxed when no guns were pointing at him but on the contrary, Li Qiang was the one that felt relaxed.
In that short moment, he felt the god of death descends on his head. He knew that if one of his men tried to make a move, maybe Ye Zhongming might die but he was definitely dead.
This was one of his ‘abilities’.
He learned how to shoot when young and that cultivated his calm state. His coach used a disk-throwing machine to train his shooting and he was often hit in the face by these disks until he didn’t feel afraid of them and didn’t dodge them.
While training his mental state, this also made him really sharp to danger. Through the training process, the moment the disks flew out, he could predict whether or not they would hit him.
This ability to predict danger was helpful for him to survive in the apocalypse.
That ability told him that death was right in front of him.
“Boss Li really has some skill.”
If others said that, he would definitely scoff and kick them aside. But now he was relaxed and knew that this person was not going to kill him.
“Our trade is done so why are you here?” Li Qiang tried to straighten his body and look calm.
“I have something that I need your help with.” Ye Zhongming smiled before he flashed right in front of Li Qiang. Their two faces were so close to one another.
Li Qiang’s face was dead as ash. He understood that this guy could kill him as easily as an ant. What he didn’t know what that how did his strength change so much? He was not so strong in the day when they had met and that was just a few hours ago.
Suddenly, he recalled the cause of the chaos, it was because someone had spun the level two wheel.
He swallowed his saliva and a possibility rose up in his mind.
This person was a two star evolved.
He finally knew why this young teen would be so strong.
Li Qiang’s voice was hoarse and he lowered his head, “Brother give me your instructions.”
