Doomsday Roulette

“Brother Ye…”

Xiao Xuan had already become a seven-star evolver, the best performer in recent days. He was usually gentle and approachable, meticulous in his work, and fearless in battle, showing both courage and calmness. This earned him Ye Zhongming's admiration.

The Youth Army now had only about two hundred and thirty members left, which was less than half of their original numbers when they first set out.

However, the current Youth Army was not the same as before.

Now, the lowest evolution level among them was five-star, with over a hundred members having reached six-star, and the three most outstanding individuals had already become seven-star evolvers!

Previously, when they followed Ye Zhongming out of Black Dragon City, their highest evolution level was only four-star!

After undergoing harsh trials and the baptism of powerful mutated beings and formidable evolvers, the Youth Army had truly grown.

They had become part of Cloud Summit, and in the future, the Youth Army would become one of the main forces of the villa, just like many core members' subordinates. They would continue to recruit youths who met the age requirements, and in a few years, these boys and girls would surely shine brightly.

At present, they were walking in another country alongside the red dress guard and Ye Zhongming, heading toward an unknown city.

“They are worried about the situation in Black Dragon City. Let me ask you, is it possible to go back and help?”

Xiao Xuan, although now an officer in the Youth Army, still felt a bit nervous in front of Ye Zhongming. He couldn't help it; he had witnessed Ye Zhongming easily kill a foreign evolver of the same level, and that unmatched strength left him in awe.

In the apocalypse, he understood that he had to listen to the leader's words without questioning them.

However, the boys from Black Dragon City were genuinely worried about the battles over there with the foreign evolvers, which was why he mustered the courage to ask.

To these youths, they knew that this might upset Brother Ye, but it was worth it.

No matter what kind of bittersweet past they had in Black Dragon City, they had all come from there.

Ye Zhongming didn't speak, but Xiao Min, who was beside him, said, “Don’t worry, we have taken out almost a third of the enemy forces; the eight-star evolvers have killed half of them. If the people from Black Dragon City still can’t win like this, then they might as well give the city to Cloud Summit. It would be a waste for them to keep it.”

After joining the Cloud Summit series, the attitude of the red dress guard towards them had changed significantly; they talked more and didn’t hide some matters from them.

Ye Zhongming meant that he could help the people of Black Dragon City, but there had to be limits.

His idea was to establish a base in the northern region, which didn’t necessarily have to be built by Cloud Summit itself but could rely on other forces. Black Dragon City, with its large population and strong city defenses but lack of a unified large city, was very suitable.

Opening shops, or even buying an entire street to do business with these people, was just the beginning. In the future, Cloud Summit would gradually infiltrate and turn Black Dragon City into its influence zone.

This was different from annexing them because Black Dragon City was too far from the main headquarters of Cloud Summit; it was an enclave. The forces within the city were still local, and even if they cultivated a spokesperson, a newcomer would definitely face open and covert resistance from these people. If they directly chose a local spokesperson, they could not fully trust them.

Therefore, making it a ‘jurisdiction’ was a very good approach.

The enclave was too far; even if there was a teleportation array, it couldn't be used casually as it would consume too much energy.

Collaboration was required, and Black Dragon City would maintain a certain level of independence. Cloud Summit wouldn’t waste too many troops guarding here.
