Another Two-in-One Chapter!
Whether one admits it or not, whether the apocalypse has just begun, the superiority complex of evolvers becomes increasingly apparent as they gain awareness of their own strength.
This has nothing to do with character, as evolvers instinctively believe they have become entirely different beings from ordinary people, or rather, two distinct categories.
Liang Chuyin spoke in a tone that sought to please Ye Zhongming, but that didn’t mean she didn’t genuinely want to do so. Although she didn’t retain the same sense of justice as Mo Ye and Park Soo-young, her instinct to protect was much stronger, as is typical of women.
Jia Min and Daming were indeed not members of the team, and Liang Chuyin had no obligation to look after them. However, these two were to accompany the team into the base, and although Ye Zhongming hadn’t explicitly stated it, everyone in the team understood that Ye Zhongming wanted to enter the base to exchange for some items.
At this moment, these individuals were clearly delaying Ye Zhongming's plans while also coveting the supplies on the team, which further infuriated the internet celebrity.
Now, this man, this non-evolver, actually wanted to take advantage of Ye Zhongming in front of him, which only heightened Liang Chuyin's anger.
She kicked out with lightning speed, accurately striking Zhao Tai in the stomach. This adult man, standing at 1.8 meters tall, was kicked away and slammed heavily against the pipeline wall behind him.
The force of this kick was in a completely different league compared to Daming's previous push; as an ordinary person, Zhao Tai simply couldn’t withstand it.
After crashing into the wall and bouncing back, Zhao Tai was unable to utter a word, blood pouring from his mouth as he gasped for breath, and moments later, he passed out, blood still flowing steadily from the corner of his mouth, his breath becoming extremely weak, transforming him from his previous bluster into a mere shadow of himself.
“Xiao Tai!” Uncle Zhao cried out in horror, rushing over to lift his son, only to find his son’s body as limp as a noodle, showing no signs of response.
“Kill her!”
With Uncle Zhao's order, the group he brought surged forward, all wielding clubs and iron bars, stained with blood.
Liang Chuyin's whip had been retracted by Ye Zhongming, but as an evolver and a professional, dealing with these ordinary people was child's play. After casually throwing a couple of punches that disfigured two of their faces, no one dared to step forward again.
Evolver!
If anyone still didn’t understand that this woman was an evolver, they were no different than fools.
Even Uncle Zhao, whose son’s life hung in the balance, could only wear a face of suppressed anger, not daring to say anything further.
In the New District base, evolvers were like gods; the deep-rooted fear of their power instilled an instinctive dread in these ordinary people.
“Don’t reach out randomly!”
Liang Chuyin noticed someone struck by her kick was in a precarious state, a moment of panic appearing in her eyes, which quickly vanished.
Having killed before, she felt a brief discomfort in this situation, but it was much better than before.
“Let’s go.”
Ye Zhongming uttered a single word, and the team immediately began to move forward.
Xia Lei shook her head slightly from behind, believing that although Zhao Tai and the others were in the wrong, Liang Chuyin had been too harsh. This thought made her face harden.
Daming quickly retrieved his bag and hurried to catch up with the others, feeling an undeniable sense of relief in his heart.
After Ye Zhongming and the others turned into the pipeline entrance, Uncle Zhao looked at his son, still bleeding, his face full of resentment.
“Up ahead are the guards; just follow me,” Jia Min whispered before adding, “Thank you.”
Ye Zhongming waved his hand, but instead directed it toward his own people, “You need to adapt; such things will happen at any time. In the apocalypse, at least half of the battles are about protecting your own resources from being plundered.”
