Given Ye Zhongming's current state, although he wasn't afraid of these people suddenly attacking him, as he still had cards up his sleeve, such as the elemental spirit's second life.
However, every card was incredibly precious; using them would be a waste. To be honest, wasting them on these people held no value at all.
If these people didn't bring their spatial equipment over, Ye Zhongming could only pretend to cooperate and look for an opportunity to escape. Even if he was tied up, with his physical condition, he estimated that after a day, he would have the strength to break free from the vine locks that could bind a seven-star evolver.
Naturally, he would also regain his combat ability. Perhaps he wouldn't be able to engage in fights at the same level, but dealing with these people would still be possible.
However, it was surprising that these people actually wanted him to open the spatial equipment. What a reckless decision!
Yet, the leader suddenly retracted his hand.
Frowning, he looked at the spatial equipment before stepping back a bit and calling a few of his trusted subordinates aside to whisper about something.
Clearly, he realized that if there was any danger within the space, it might be impossible for him to resist.
Ye Zhongming couldn't help but smile wryly. There truly were no fools in the apocalypse.
After discussing, it seemed that these people had no good solutions, and in the end, they all left, leaving behind those who had been watching Ye Zhongming, not knowing what to do next.

Cloud Summit Villa.
At this moment, Cloud Summit was experiencing perhaps the most intense 'conflict' among its core members since its establishment!
"You are the guardian battle team; what’s wrong with staying to watch the house?"
Little Tiger pouted, his black eye patch making him look somewhat fierce.
Usually, if Little Tiger threw such a tantrum, the others wouldn't say much, as he was one of the oldest members of Cloud Summit despite his young age. His status was significant, being among the few real decision-makers like Xia Lei and Mo Ye, thus considered one of the big shots.
But the Sister Rong across from him showed no signs of backing down, pointing at Little Tiger's nose and saying, "The guardian battle team doesn't mean we aren't capable; we are following Zhong Ming and Xia Lei's arrangements. Our combat power is not necessarily weaker than your team’s. How about we have a competition?"
Little Tiger slammed his hand on the table, causing cracks to appear on the treated stone surface, clearly indicating his displeasure and inability to control his strength.
"If we’re competing, then the loser stays at home obediently!"
"Little Tiger, it’s usually your team that goes on missions. It's our turn now; the guardian battle team and the main battle team simply have different responsibilities. That doesn't mean we can only stay to watch the house."
Tang Tian spoke in a deep voice from the side. Due to the candy connection, Little Tiger was his brother-in-law, and he wouldn’t back down against Little Tiger’s bluster.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Little Tiger would give no face to anyone? As soon as Tang Tian finished speaking, Little Tiger stubbornly said, "Anything else is fine, but not this time!"
Tang Tian's expression immediately darkened.
"Enough, everyone stop arguing!"
Summer Lei's voice wasn’t loud, but everyone fell silent, turning toward her. Without Ye Zhongming, she was the highest-ranking woman in the room.
"Cloud Summit is our foundation. The defensive system here has just been perfected, and the surrounding forces are centered here. Next door is the increasingly developed Puxing Town trading market, and there is almost a paradise known as Ying City. There are three large high-end laboratories here, with top-notch testing grounds above and below ground, including production lines for delicacies, pharmaceuticals, firearms, and bases for gene life and magic crystal weapons."
