After putting the soul pearl in, Ye Zhongming placed another level three demon crystal under the pearl. After which, he tied the body back up with the bandage.
He thought about it before slicing his arm and dripping some blood into her mouth.
Actually, he didn’t know if that would be effective. He just heard of some past rumours as well as his understanding of the puppet technique. He also had a soul pearl so he decided to try.
The outcome would be up to the heavens.
He waited a while and there were still no changes. Ye Zhongming shook his head as he placed her clothes back on before leaving.
Ye Zhongming studied the equipment for a long time and it was night when he was out and everyone was waiting for him to eat.
Dinner was quite sumptuous. Apart from jerky, there was rice, salted vegetable, and fruit cans. There were even some dried vegetables that they found on the farm. The few girls stewed some meat with it and to people who hadn’t eaten much good food since the apocalypse started, this was heaven.
Even Ye Zhongming ate a little more.
Ye Zhongming was the first to finish. He stood up and took out a few clothes from the bag that he had brought back.
“Yi? Bulletproof shirt?”
Little Tiger sat beside Ye Zhongming and he was curious when he looked at these few shirts.
“On the highway near here, Worker Li found a transport vehicle and there were many clothes on it.”
Worker Li was Le Dayuan’s helper. These few assistants had spent a long time with the team and they gained some trust. This was why Ye Zhongming didn’t save on some evolution potions and allowed them all to evolve. They were already following old members to do missions.
Worker Li saw Ye Zhongming’s gaze and nodded, “There weren’t any weapons, only these bulletproof shirts could be used.”
“I modified three of them. Shengyuan can get one, Teacher Park can get one, who wants the last one?”
He obtained many bulletproof shirts but their quality was too low. Ye Zhongming strengthened many of them and obtained three. Now they were barely usable to Ye Zhongming and they could defend against normal guns. But against weapons from the wheel, its defence was too weak.
The reason he wasted so much mental energy to strengthen these three bulletproof vests was that he had to consider people firing bullets at them. He had to defend against those.
No one would oppose when Shengyuan and Park Xiuying got a piece. One was known for defence and one was the core support of the team. Their safety was very important for the entire team.
“I don’t want it, it is too ugly!” Liang Chuyin finished her food and stretched lazily. Her exquisite body was on full display. She glanced at the black bulletproof vest and chose to reject it.
Actually, even if it looked good, she wouldn’t want it. She didn’t want to put Ye Zhongming in a bad spot.
Mo Ye laughed. Too ugly. Xia Lei laughed too, too ugly.
Little Tiger snatched it, he didn’t find it ugly!
“With this, you have to block at the front.”
Ye Zhongming smiled and pointed at it.
“No problem, I am good at that.”
After handing them out, everyone ate their meals. Ye Zhongming went out to look at Yellow Ball who was on sentry and after feeding it some level three mutated lifeform meat, he went to Shengyuan’s room.
Le Dayuan’s helper fed him some porridge with meat. The big fellow looked good. After an afternoon, he could sit up at the head of the bed.
“Can my shield be repaired?”
The first question he asked when he saw Ye Zhongming was about his shield.
“I don’t need to repair it.”
Shengyuan frowned. He knew that his shield had cracked and if no one repaired it, it would be useless.
“As it can self repair.”
What?
Shengyuan opened his eyes wide and didn’t believe what Ye Zhongming said. He had never heard of equipment that could self repair.
“Follow me. You will find out things that you have never thought were possible.”
Shengyuan kept silent. Although Ye Zhongming saved him and he even got a shield but he risked his life. He didn’t hold back at all and had recognised the importance of this person.
“Huang Xijie is an Elementalist right?”
Ye Zhongming brought up a name and killing intent appeared in his eyes.
“Liang Juan is a Whirlwind Darter right?”
Sheng Yuan was stunned. After a few days, he found out that Ye Zhongming came from another city. They didn’t come into contact with Huang Xijie and his group at all.
This big fellow was previously shocked that Ye Zhongming was so familiar about his job. Now that Ye Zhongming revealed this information, he was even more surprised. He didn’t know where this guy came from and why it was as if he knew everything.
“Their jobs counter you. You aren’t their match so if you want to take revenge for Li Ying then you can’t do it alone.”
Information after information shocked Shengyuan. He was filled with fear, wariness, panic etc and he shouted, “Who are you?”
“A friend.” Ye Zhongming said a phrase, “Of course, it would depend on what you choose.”
“Don’t ask me why I know all this, I won’t say it. You just have to consider whether or not you need my help.”
“How will you help me?”
“In such a world, apart from killing the people you hate, is there any other solution?”
Shengyuan laid back down. In his heart, he was filled with fear towards this young man that had a good attitude towards him.
Shengyuan witnessed his ability and he was definitely not his match. He was the highest level that he had seen. What terrified him was that he knew too many things that he shouldn’t know about.
How did he know what their jobs were? That was Wulan County’s biggest secret. How did he know Li Ying? Since the start of the apocalypse, outsiders knew that his girlfriend was Little Ying, no one knew her surname!
“Conditions?”
Shengyuan noticed that although he feared Ye Zhongming but that didn’t stop him from accepting his tempting suggestion.
Wasn’t revenge what he thought about day and night in the cell? He even thought about it when he was dreaming and when he was unconscious!
“My team lack a shield.”
As expected. Shengyuan relaxed.
These people had strong attacks but weak defence. They had a sharp white blade that could slice the bodies of level two lifeforms. Many of them had jobs and could battle against level three lifeforms.
But their defence was really weak and there was only a healer type role. If they met a huge amount of monsters or a monster that was much higher in level, they would be in danger.
They needed a tank to help them defend so that they could attack.
“I rarely recruit people.” Ye Zhongming smiled. The brother in his last life was worrying too much.
“Ok I promise you, help me take revenge and I will follow you.” Shengyuan paused and then said, “But are you not afraid that I am making use of you?”
Ye Zhongming laughed, “If you are not a fool you would know that only I can help you craft better shields. If you leave, where will you find such a good smith?”
“Only I can lead you to evolve quickly. If you leave, where will you get evolution potion after evolution potion?”
Ye Zhongming’s smile disappeared and he gave out a majestic aura.
“Moreover, with your current strength, how can you make use of me?”
He was right. How could he make use of him? If he attacked he would easily wipe him out.
“Rest well. We will move out the day after, you need two more days to heal up.”
He slapped his shoulder before walking out.
“Wait.”
Ye Zhongming turned around and looked at Shengyuan who stopped him.
“I want you to know something, behind Huang Xijie…”
“Royal Guild?”
Shengyuan’s mouth opened wide, “This, you even know that?”
Ye Zhongming smiled before leaving. Before he closed the door, he said slowly.
“Just a bunch of arrogant fools, don’t bother about them.”
……………………………………………………………………………………
Huang Xijie had been really distracted recently. He didn’t know why that was the case. He thought about it and the only thing was because of those people who saved Shengyuan.
His men were killed and they just left. Moreover, those people just disappeared. No one knew who saved him and no one knew where he was now and whether would he come back?
Huang Xijie poured a cup of intense alcohol and drank it down. The heat flowed into his stomach and calmed himself down.
There were too many things recently. Royal Guild, Shengyuan, Wulan County. He was too busy.
The door was pushed open. Liang Juan walked in and saw Huang Xijie who was drinking alone. Worry appeared on her beautiful face.
“Xijie, although we are evolved but you shouldn’t drink like this, it will hurt your body.”
She jumped into his arms and used her huge hips to rub his legs.
“Are they gone?”
“No. I found a few girls to spend time with them. Honey, do we really need their help? Their price is too high. Shengyuan and those people might not come back, right? If we give them things like that…”
