Jia Ming’s expression was a little weird when he said that.
Ye Zhongming told him in the morning that after the defence was over, they would lock up those that were scratched by the mutated lifeforms.
Everyone knew that without the immunity potion, being scratched meant death.
But the obstruction when one really wanted to do that was huge.
These people had just given their blood and sweat to protect the base and in a blink, they ended up as prisoners. Anyone normal would resist that.
There was some chaos when making this decision. Fortunately, the evolved came to calm everything down.
But the base still became unstable because of that choice.
Ye Zhongming opened his eyes and stood up slowly, “We are doing this for the safety of the base. If someone mutates in the base, we would be in chaos without the outside hoard attacking. We have to control those that are injured.”
“But they are all courageous. At least they were willing to fight against the zombies while most only hide at home to shiver! This is not fair!”
A normal person who did well and got recognised felt the same way. Although he was not injured but he might end up in such a situation so he felt emotional.
“Then what do you think? Allow them to mutate?”
That person sighed when he faced those questions. He lowered his head. He was only venting his emotions and even he himself didn’t know what he should do.
“If we don’t tie them out then we have to chase them out. They will mutate and join the zombie hoard to attack the base that they protected. Is that fair?!”
Ye Zhongming walked to the middle of the room and looked at Jia Ming, “Give their demon crystals to those with families. I think they would be willing to give their loved ones a fortune when they are dead. Collect those without loved ones to spin and then give the potions to those who did well in the day.”
Jia Ming nodded and knew that this was the best solution. It could satisfy the families and also increase the income of the base.
“Post notifications. I need a thousand people to head out tomorrow with me. These people will get food and water and their families will get treated well. Those who do well will get evolution potions.”
Ye Zhongming instructed. After seeing Jia Ming nod, he smiled.
“I am just teaching you how to control a base. Don’t worry, I won’t make you a puppet. This place will be yours. But when I am here, I am in charge.” He tossed something from his pocket to Jia Ming before leading his team away.
Everyone looked at the thing in his hands and showed a look of envy.
It was an evolution potion, a ticket into heaven.

“Boss, isn’t this place good, why are we leaving?”
Little Tiger scratched his head as they walked and didn’t know why Ye Zhongming wanted to give up on the base that they controlled.
The others didn’t understand and they looked at Ye Zhongming for an answer.
There was a gachapon here. Not only a level one wheel but also a level two one. If they had time, it was enough for all the team members to reach two star.
Moreover, Ye Zhongming had absolute confidence. No one in the base could go against him and he could do anything he wanted.
In other words, he was the king here and could do many things he wanted. He could use the resources here to quicken his transformation.
“He has bigger targets.” Xia Lei was already an official member so naturally, she followed them. Through Mo Ye, everyone found out about what happened to Xia Lei and pitied her.
Betrayal often hurt one the most.
Ye Zhongming smiled, “What is the biggest advantage of this base? What is the biggest disadvantage?”
They looked at one another. Liang Chuyin said, “There are many people and we can develop many warriors to form a strong force. That should be the biggest advantage.”
“There are three wheels so that should be the biggest.” Little Tiger continued and many people agreed with that.
“As for the disadvantage, there aren’t many weapons and bullets. The defensive ability is really weak!” Seeing everyone agree, Little Tiger continued to analyse.
“Let’s hear what Ye Zhongming has to say.” Teacher Park was a full supporter of Ye Zhongming. The more she saw, the more she believed that someone like Ye Zhongming could survive.
“The biggest advantage is actually resource.” Ye Zhongming looked outside of the base.
“You are talking about those monsters?” Xia Lei ran her fingers through her hair and asked with uncertainty.
Ye Zhongming nodded, “Disadvantage is that there is only a level two wheel here.”
Everyone was stunned and understood what he meant.
This fellow was looking down on the level two wheel.
So many people were risking their lives for a one star potion! Even Xia Lei’s husband sent his wife away for one right?
On one side were people willing to give up everything for a potion, on the other was Ye Zhongming who was looking down on a two star wheel. The contrast was huge.
“I am staying here as I hadn’t collected the resource outside. Once I get it, we will leave. There are many things for us to do.”
He tapped Little Tiger’s shoulder, “Don’t worry, level two wheel isn’t too good. I will bring you to see better things.”
Ye Zhongming didn’t explain in too much detail.
As the apocalypse progressed, mutated life forms would evolve and level one demon crystals would become rarer and rarer.
In the last life, this was the reason why Ye Zhongming found it so hard to evolve. The two star and even three star potions weren’t as tough as one star potions.
So he knew that collecting more level one demon crystals was much more useful in the starting two years.
There were tens of thousands of normal zombies outside which were a good source of level one crystals. He wanted to deal with these zombies and fill his pockets.
Relying on his team was not enough to collect too many of these low level crystals. The manpower in the base now could do such a thing under his leadership.
Right, Ye Zhongming’s only goal was the walking riches outside!
“As for how to do it, just follow me. Now, let’s get a few small riches.”
