Kata.
The door closed automatically blocking Little Blade’s greedy gaze. The white body of the woman disappeared from his field of sight.
“Damn, why did Huang Xijie choose a much better girl for you than me. Mine was about to die after a few times, it didn’t feel good at all.”
Little Blade rested on the wall and was smoking a cigarette. He saw Ah Kuan walk out and grumbled.
He spun a sharp willow knife in his right hand. He was so quick that one could only see a white afterimage.
This weapon that he was playing with was actually a white rare item.
Ah Kuan rolled his eyes, “You don’t know how to hold back at all. How can normal girls handle evolved bodies?”
“Also, you didn’t even look at her face and you are sure that mine is of higher quality?” Ah Kuan adjusted his clothing and continued, “Huang Xijie and Liang Juan paid so much so would they hold back on women?”
Little Blade looked really arrogant and he grumbled, “That is because they need our help.”
After which, Little Blade got up while spinning the knife in his hands. He looked at the closed door, “Ah Kuan, let me play with this girl.”
He wanted to enter but Ah Kuan stopped him.
“It is just a girl, you are stopping a brother?”
Ah Kuan’s face was numb, “You can do what you want after I am done but she still needs to accompany me for these few days. I am not used to sharing a girl with others.”
Little Blade’s gaze went sharp and he stared for a few seconds before smiling, “Ok, ok, I respect you.”
After which, Ah Kuan just left.
The door beside opened and two people walked out. It was a pair of young adults. They looked at Little Blade and the young guy said, “Brother Kuan, Little Blade is getting more and more out of hand. He relies on his Shadow Blade job and doesn’t respect us at all.”
“Right.” The girl mocked, “The guild resources all lean towards him. Does he think it is because of his skill? The guild is so unfair, why would they choose such a person to nurture? I heard that we have to give him the two star potion if we get one. How does that make sense?”
Ah Kuan shook his head, “His family contributed a lot to the guild during peacetime and the guild leader has connections with his father, but… Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Let’s head out and see if there is anything. Our mission is to help Huang Xijie. There are three more days, once the time is up, we will take our things and leave even if the person that Huang Xijie offended comes.”
“Ah Kuan, we…” The guy looked around, “Huang Xijie and Liang Juan are the only two with jobs, the four of us can kill them and just leave. Why are we staying here?”
Ah Kuan stuck out a finger, “One, Huang Xijie is an old fox. Not to mention if we can defeat him without being injured. Even if we could, he wouldn’t tell us where the thing is! He is clear that if he didn’t say then he would have a chance to live. If he says it then he would definitely die.”
“Two, the higher ups say that Wulan County is protected and focused on by the base, this will be a place that produces crystals for us. Huang Xijie is in control on the surface. If we do anything to him, we will anger the bosses and that will affect the resources that come to us.”
Ah Kuan’s status should be higher than both Little Blade and these two. He said to the two of them, “Don’t care about little Blade. If anything happens, the boss will take care of him. We just need to do our role. The guild looks strong now but each step is actually very dangerous. Since we are lucky to meet a job wheel and got many job certificates, then other people can get things that we envy. If we don’t develop, others will exceed us. It is not our time to be arrogant, this should be the time when we charge towards two star! Whoever leads this race will rule the world!”
“That is the consensus of the superiors. So towards those who don’t share the same idea, the few bosses will kill them without hesitation! The few of you are close to me so I am telling you all this. I hope that you all can understand.”
They looked at one another and were filled with gratitude, “I know, thank you Brother Kuan.”
Brother Kuan nodded, “Let’s go walk around.”

100 miles outside of Wulan County, Doctor Mu that appeared in the cell where Ye Zhongming saved Shengyuan from had four people with him and they were on a hill. They used binoculars to look around.
“Doctor Mu, are we going to spend a long time here? The higher ups are telling us to rush to Wulan County, we…”
“I know what I am doing.”
The elegant guy turned his head and looked at the person who spoke, “I don’t need you to teach me what to do.”
The face of the guy flushed red. He bit his teeth but he didn’t dare to say anything.
“Don’t worry, if we get anything, I will give each one of you a potion. The very special kind.”
Hearing Doctor Mu say that, their eyes lit up. Even the guy that was scolded was no exception.
Who is Doctor Mu? The only Potion Master in the guild, one of the best jobs on that wheel. They even got many recipes. The potions that he made were the top. In the guild, a potion from Doctor Mu was as expensive as half a bottle of immunity potion!
“Everyone knows that the guild found the level two gachapon a while ago and is collecting level two crystals. Whoever gets more will be considered for evolution. Are you all not excited to evolve? I found them when I returned from Wulan County previously. The level two crystals are ahead so do you want to give up? So what if we return late? The four of them have jobs so who here can threaten them? Since we can’t contribute much so why don’t we just get the level two crystals here?”
The other four nodded. Everyone wanted to become a two star evolved. The guild only had one two star evolved now and everyone was impressed with his strength.
“There are dozens of level two goats there. Based on the rules, if we get their crystals, we can at least spin once. Do you all want to try your luck?”
“Yes, but, Doctor Mu, with our strength, we can’t beat them.”
The guy in a prone stance on the outside of the group of them sighed.
Doctor Mu smiled and took out a syringe that was filled with yellow liquid, “Don’t worry, I am prepared. I just need some time.”

“Do you feel it? When you slice, here, here, and then here. You need to use strength in order and your angle must change based on your target.”
It was a dark day and one could feel a little cold. But their bodies were good so the temperature wasn’t a huge problem. Xia Lei wore a black vest and was teaching the party how to use the blade.
She was trained by a blade grandmaster and was well-versed in this area. Now that they were a team, if they learned this they could increase their combat strength. Apart from Shengyuan who was just healing up and Liang Chuyin who was preparing food, Ye Zhongming who was resting on Yellow Ball and looking into the distance, the others were learning from her. Even Le Dayuan and his helpers were learning too.
“Sister Lei, you didn’t try so hard to teach Brother Ye, why am I taking so long?”
Xia Lei stared, “You are stupid!”
Little Tiger didn’t dare to say anything.
“That is because that person who is enjoying the breeze and thinking he looks cool there is actually crazy. I taught him once and he understood most of it. Why are you comparing me with a sick person?”
Ye Zhongming sat on the roof and looked at the female cop whose chest look even bigger when she crossed her arms. There was nothing he could say to her.
Ye Zhongming had ten years of experience and he was a blade user in the last life. Although there were many things that he couldn’t use because of his evolution level but his experience was still there. Xia Lei’s teachings opened a door and Ye Zhongming just crossed in due to his basics. After just a few days, he understood what Xia Lei taught.
The current Ye Zhongming merged those skills with his experience and his blade skills were on a new level. Xia Lei wasn’t his match at all.
Of course, Ye Zhongming taught her many things she didn’t know. After all, those were experience and skills and needed time to understand.
After training for the morning, they ate and then started to pack up.
They knew that it was time to go.
This time their enemies were mutated lifeforms but other humans.

Nights in the apocalypse always looked even darker.
Outside Wulan County were two bonfires that lit up a region.
A dozen guards sat or stood around and they would occasionally look out.
More and more people heard the news and came here for protection. But not everyone could enter. Those who couldn’t pay could only stay outside.
There were at least 7-8 thousand gathered here. Although it was late, but due to hunger and cold, many people couldn’t fall asleep and they just wandered around.
The guards were tired and were discussing who to sleep first. At this moment, they heard some footsteps that were quite orderly.
