“How long has boss been out for?”
Little Tiger lit a cigarette and asked Le Dayun who sat near him on the walls.
Originally, Ye Zhongming did not allow Le Dayuan to participate in dangerous operations. This was the grandmaster that developed the future crystal weapons. He was one of the most valuable people in the apocalypse. If anything happened to him, the losses would be huge.
But Le Dayuan was an insistent person. Seeing the people of the party risk their lives while he hid at the side and share the resources that others worked hard to get, although he didn’t mention it but he cared about it a lot.
Especially the intense defence in the day. Le Dayuan didn’t know whether or not this was a true large sized battle against the zombies but he felt ashamed that he didn’t join in.
No one doubted Ye Zhongming’s choice and no one questioned why Le Dayuan couldn’t join in. The members knew that he was a technical genius that would help the party greatly which was why they took good care of him.
But the more that happened, the more he felt useless. He was evolved but he was still hiding behind others! So he insisted on following, even doing some logistics was good.
Ye Zhongming considered a little before agreeing. It was good to let him experience some fights which might help me in the future.
“Around half an hour.” Le Dayuan looked towards the city that was pitch black.
“Boss… Is very mysterious. Do you think so?”
Le Dayuan turned his head and used the bit of light from the head of the cigarette to look at Little Tiger. He said slowly, “Everyone has their own secrets.”
“I didn’t mean that. Don’t you think that he can predict the future? It is as if he understands the apocalypse.”
“So what?”
Le Dayuan’s words stunned Little Tiger.
Right, so what?
Could they leave Ye Zhongming to head out on their own? Little Tiger shuddered when he tried to think about the uncertainty without Ye Zhongming and tossed that thought far away.
“So what if he has secrets?” Liang Chuyin’s voice spread over from afar. She laid on her own whip, “No matter how mysterious he is, or rather what kind of identity he has, I only know that he saved my life. He gave me the potion to let me evolve. He taught me how to fight and how to survive in this damn world.”
The other members of the team listened quietly, in their minds, they were thinking about the past few days with the others.
“He gave me all these but didn’t even climb onto my bed. If it was another guy, not to mention the hymen, my part might not even be tender and pink anymore.”
The faces of the few girls turned red. Even Xia Lei couldn’t handle how direct she was. She pushed Liang Chuyin and laughed, “You really are corrupted.”
Park Xiuying and Liang Chuyin were the closest so they kicked one another, “You always have nothing nice to say.”
“Some things are better said out. But I want to say that although it is early to worship Ye Zhongming but I believe that it would be the case in the future.” The influencer danced along with her whip. She had strong dance asics. Her Wind Dancer job and her evolved body made her even more flexible and gave her even more control.
“I am lucky and I think every one of you is too. We are able to live and live so well because of this 20 year old kid. I don’t know what all of you think but I will continue to follow him. I don’t care about the secrets he has or the responsibilities he has but I will follow him. Be it being a good person or an evil person, I will kill or save whoever he tells me to.”
“You really have no bottom line.” Teacher Park scoffed. Her tone wasn’t her scolding her but it was more of her making a joke.
“How much is bottom line worth? Can we eat it? Can we trade it for potions? I know that my bottom line is that his enemies are my enemy. I will do what he wants to do.”
Everyone was silent. They knew that Liang Chuyin was loyal to Ye Zhongming but they didn’t expect her to give up herself so much for the cause.
“I came from a village and there aren’t many nice people that I have met. Each person wanted to rip me apart and have good fun. They were only willing to do things like a meal or make a phone call but they wanted me to give up everything.”
“Before the apocalypse, I haven’t met someone who gave me so much. In the apocalypse where everything is precious, I am happy to meet him.”
“Uncle Le, Sister Lei, although you guys don’t say it but I know that when you look at the night sky, you must think about the people who betrayed you. That is normal and it is your experience that you don’t want to bring up.”
“But that is why I feel like as compared to me, you need to cherish this guy that popped up from nowhere. He might not be a good person and might not be noble but he gave us our beating hearts and warm bodies. He allowed us to stand here and look down on the zombie hoard.”
“Even in the future, I would give my life for him. Even if he betrays me, I have nothing to say.”
.
“That is because he gave me my life.”
Zombies roaring could be heard from where they stood. Each person dissected what she said.
After a short while, Le Dayuan laughed, “Since Ye Zhongming saved me from that cold family building, my life was his. I am not a person from history that would be willing to give up my life for a bottle of wine but I will be thankful to someone that saves my life. If he gives me food I will follow him, if he treats me well then I would do too.”
Little Tiger scratched his head, “I… I just asked why is Boss so mysterious so why are all of you making me sound like a bad person? I, I will definitely follow boss. All of you have jobs but I don’t. Moreover, my boss said that he would bring me to see nice things, I haven’t seen those things yet.”
Everyone laughed, it was a true laugh. Not because of Little Tiger but because they started to recognise one another through all the fights.
“Sister Lei and I have mentioned it before”, Mo Ye touched the ice cold blade, “I want to see where this guy would end up.”

Ye Zhongming who was away was standing beside a giant pool of a large feed processing factory, he looked down with a complicated expression—
Pit of corpses!
