Guan Cheng Village did not know Ye Zhongming's thoughts, but when he heard the surprise mixed with disdain in the other party's tone, he felt a desire to die.
If it were someone else, he might have been unconvinced. After all, he was in control of a dark laboratory, and the results produced inside could make evolvers in the apocalypse fight for them. He himself was also a seven-star evolver, with plenty of good stuff in his spatial equipment.
But it all depended on who he was dealing with.
His laboratory was indeed decent, but compared to Cloud Summit? They had the renowned gene life laboratory! Who was stationed there? That was Liu Zhenghong, a person he could only see on television and in top professional magazines in his previous life!
How could the results from his laboratory compare to theirs? It was said that Cloud Summit could now produce quite perfect gene warriors, whose strength after cultivation could match level 6 lifeforms, and they had potential for growth. Just this point was something Guan Cheng Village could not achieve.
He was walking a crooked path, somewhat similar to Sister Hong from his past life, the terrifying scientist known as the Red Creator.
Not to mention the laboratory aspect, Ye Zhongming was even more remarkable. His personal combat power had long ranked among the top five in the national region, and the weapon in his hand was ranked first in the national area. The battle beast, earth yellow pill, had leaped into the rankings after being rescued from its side effects, now entering the top ten. It was rumored that there was a dragon-type lifeform even more powerful than the earth yellow pill, but due to uncertainties regarding its relationship with Cloud Summit, it had not been ranked yet.
How could someone like him be dealt with by Guan Cheng Village?
Even if he moved the entire laboratory over and gave himself enough time to prepare, he still couldn't do anything to Ye Zhongming.
Thus, Guan Cheng Village made a move that even Ye Zhongming hadn’t expected.
He knelt down.
It looked a bit awkward on four legs.
Ye Zhongming had seen many people kneel easily in his past life. Not to mention kneeling, he had seen people lying down to lick others' toes—there were countless individuals who would abandon everything for survival. To them, face and dignity meant nothing.
But he had never seen someone of Guan Cheng Village’s standing act like this, especially since he was someone Ye Zhongming had looked up to in his previous life.
This guy had been a dominant figure in the past, and it was said that he died fighting valiantly in the end. How had he become so weak in this life?
Ye Zhongming actually forgot that in the national region, Cloud Summit had a certain status, while he himself held a different position, and Guan Cheng Village along with his laboratory had their own status.
In comparison, Ye Zhongming seemed like a towering figure of absolute authority within the industry, while Guan Cheng Village was merely a mid-level figure in a certain company.
The difference was too great.
Ye Zhongming walked over to Guan Cheng Village and thought for a moment.
“It seems I can only kill you in order to get out of here.”
He had already had a guess before, and after saying this, he stared at Guan Cheng Village, verifying his suspicion through the other's reaction.
Sure enough, Guan Cheng Village was trembling with fear.
This was not surprising; the longer one survived in the apocalypse, the more one could appreciate the preciousness of life. Especially for someone like Guan Cheng Village, who held absolute power in a certain area, they would become extremely cautious about their own lives. They hadn’t enjoyed enough of it yet.
Facing a true big shot, even if Guan Cheng Village had eight legs, he would still kneel.
Now that Ye Zhongming had stated a way to escape, how could Guan Cheng Village not be afraid?
“No, no!” Guan Cheng Village forced himself to calm down, repeatedly waving his hands, fearing that Ye Zhongming might suddenly strike him down. He tore off a pocket from his sleeve at the wrist and respectfully handed it to Ye Zhongming.
