Liang Chuyin is missing?!
Ye Zhongming's heart sank. He knew that recently, Cloud Summit had been sailing too smoothly, and the surrounding areas of Ying City had become too complacent, causing many to lose their respect for the apocalypse.
This was not to say that Ye Zhongming blamed his woman for Liang Chuyin's disappearance, but rather that he suddenly realized an issue he had often overlooked. Even he had fallen into this assumption.
He mistakenly believed that Cloud Summit was now in an offensive strategic position, subconsciously thinking there were no deadly threats nearby. Even after receiving news that surrounding forces had been infiltrated, he thought a district plan alone could resolve it, and that Cloud Summit only needed to lend a hand when necessary.
But everyone had overlooked that Cloud Summit's enemies had not disappeared; they had only temporarily hidden themselves. Once given the chance, they would take a bite out of Cloud Summit.
This time, Cloud Summit's aggressive cleanup operation could very well be exploited, turning into an attack on a specific target within Cloud Summit.
Defeating the entire Cloud Summit was impossible now. At least in the national district, no force had that capability, not even if the resistance zone mobilized all their forces.
However, weakening Cloud Summit was feasible… for example, by killing a core member.
If they were targeting someone like that, Liang Chuyin would likely be chosen as the target.
A core member, the woman of the King of Cloud Summit, one of the founders of Cloud Summit, with no outstanding personal strength, and separated from the team… it seemed no one was more suitable than Liang Chuyin. Killing her would not only undermine the management of Cloud Summit but also strike a blow at Ye Zhongming.
Even if it couldn't be confirmed that Liang Chuyin was indeed being targeted, the situation was undeniably suspicious.
The internet celebrity girl had a bad temper, but that didn’t mean she was unaware of her surroundings. On the contrary, she was one of the most disciplined among all core members. If she needed to return to her team, she would not do anything else along the way.
“How many teams are at home?” Ye Zhongming asked.
“Seven, but Shengyuan's team cannot act; both laboratories rely on his security. Sister Rong's team is also hard to move; she is basically responsible for the villa's defense. Only five teams can be mobilized.”
Guangyao quickly replied. At this stage, he and Mo Ye were mainly in charge of coordinating the teams.
“Yun Shao, Tang Tian, Ayang, Mo Ye, and Sister Lei's teams.”
Ye Zhongming nodded, but his brows furrowed.
If this was a trap laid out by someone, then the timing was excellent.
The district was in crisis simultaneously, and five or six Cloud Summit teams rushing out to help meant that the current number of Cloud Summit teams was quite limited, especially after some had already gone hunting elsewhere.
“Let Ayang and Yun Shao go. They are the main battle teams; combined, they should be sufficient to handle sudden situations. This way, the internal defense of Cloud Summit would still be bearable, and they wouldn’t leave any openings.”
Xia Lei considered and said.
She feared this was a chain trap. Attacking Liang Chuyin was merely a pretense; the real targets were Cloud Summit, the two laboratories, or even Ye Zhongming himself.
Ye Zhongming contemplated, sensing both Yangos and the earth yellow pill's positions. The two had grown impatient in the villa and had already followed the team out; they were now quite far away, and it would take time to return. Moreover, being alone also posed some risks.
“Okay, Red Hair can go with them.” Ye Zhongming quickly made a decision. “Send someone to Puxing Town to gather the posthumous child and the people from the Temple of Dawn, ordering them to temporarily ensure the security of the trading market. Yun Shao and Ayang’s teams should take the Underworld Bone Demon Platform, keeping a certain distance between them based on the communication range of the Merit Medal, maintaining contact at all times. If anything happens, they should immediately notify the villa, and I will rush over.”
