“Looks like there are no injuries, everything seems normal, it’s really strange...”
Little Tiger and Young Master Yun's medical practitioners surrounded Red Hair, carefully inspecting him, but they didn’t find any issues.
Little Tiger, Young Master Yun, and Zhan Pingkang stood on the outskirts, all frowning. “Old Zhan, you should rest a bit; your injuries are quite serious. Leave Red Hair’s situation to us.”
With one eye covered, Little Tiger was much steadier in this situation than when he was in front of Ye Zhongming or Xia Lei. Now that Red Hair was unconscious and Lu Yi was also out, he was the backbone of the team.
“Yeah, us standing here isn’t helping. You and your team should go rest. We aren’t at the villa right now, so it’s uncertain if anything will happen. The faster you recover, the better for us,” Young Master Yun also advised. “Uncle Lu needs your care too. Although his injuries have been treated, it will take at least a day for him to regain consciousness. You all should keep an eye on him.”
Zhan Pingkang felt responsible for Red Hair's unconsciousness, but thinking about it, there was nothing he could do here. He could only take his people to rest, but he left some capable individuals to work with the other Cloud Summit teams for vigilance.
After signaling Young Master Yun to keep watch, Little Tiger turned and walked outside, crossing the Cloud Summit's defense line, approaching a person and a cat.
Or rather, a corpse and a cat.
At this moment, the spirit woman looked quite disheveled, at least from an outward appearance.
From what could be seen, she and the black cat had more than five deep wounds that were visible down to the bone.
However, even with such a spirit woman, Little Tiger didn’t dare to underestimate her and felt quite nervous.
He knew that the spirit woman and Red Hair had a long-standing rivalry; they had loved and fought against each other for an unknown amount of time. Even after both of them had served Cloud Summit, once Ye Zhongming's control was lost, the spirit woman escaped and vanished into the apocalypse.
Now, upon their reunion, even though the spirit woman appeared to be severely injured, and despite her having saved those Cloud Summit warriors who were escorting Lu Yi during their breakout, Little Tiger still did not dare to relax. All the Cloud Summit teams appeared loose, but they were actually on high alert.
Because now, the spirit woman had an orange magic crystal on her forehead, and so did the black cat. Behind them, there were over two hundred zombies, though not in large numbers, but their levels were all above five! Among them, at least thirty were level six, and there were four level seven!
With Red Hair, the strongest on their side, unconscious, and Lu Yi, also a seven-star evolver, also out, only Little Tiger and Young Master Yun were seven-star evolvers, while there were quite a few six-star evolvers, outnumbering the opposite side, but still insufficient in front of the level eight spirit woman and the black cat.
Little Tiger was genuinely afraid that the spirit woman might unleash her ferocity.
“Red Hair, what happened?”
The spirit woman’s language ability and evolution level had also improved. She looked at Little Tiger and asked the question in her heart.
She had only seen Red Hair in the air from a distance earlier, and when she approached, the Cloud Summit people had already surrounded Red Hair.
Although she had never seen this old opponent up close, the spirit woman could sense that Red Hair was different now. Not only did he lack the previous aura, but there was also a presence that made even the spirit woman’s heart tremble, as if… she was no longer a match for this familiar figure.
She found it strange and didn’t have as many human thoughts, so when facing Little Tiger, she asked her question aloud.
But Little Tiger misunderstood; he thought the spirit woman was probing Red Hair’s condition.
He coughed and replied, “You know, Red Hair... is very special. After the battle just now, she seems to have entered some mysterious state, maybe she has made some progress in her strength. By the way, I’ve already sent out the news; our boss will be here soon. Do you want to wait for a bit? Our boss might want to talk to you.”
