The two people pointed out by the little boy took two steps forward and stood at the edge of the arena, as if they had been waiting there all along.
They had no expression on their faces and did not respond to the little boy at all.
However, the little boy, Adam, seemed completely unconcerned, looking at Cloud Summit with a hint of excitement, as if he was fantasizing about the moment of victory, imagining receiving the reward for leveling up five times.
Ye Zhongming and the others from Cloud Summit had their doubts about this little boy.
He gave off a vibe that felt like… he was playing.
Yes, he seemed completely unserious.
How could a boss who was so indifferent to the lives of his subordinates become a boss?
In reality, as the leader of a team in the apocalypse, it is indeed necessary to exploit the interests of subordinates, but that doesn’t mean one can over-exploit and destroy everything, even if you are a nine-star evolver. You cannot indiscriminately kill or sacrifice your subordinates; otherwise, even the most foolish person would leave you.
Moreover, the roulette spaces of Mountain King Plateau or any other roulette space, even the entire roulette apocalypse, are like a game. Every survivor is aware of this, but as long as one's mental state is normal and they are not in a lunatic state, no evolver would genuinely treat this as a game. Once you fail, there won’t be a second chance.
This little boy, Adam, was different; he felt like he was just playing a game. As long as he achieved victory, everything else could be disregarded.
Ye Zhongming didn’t know if this was his illusion or not, but he genuinely felt this way.
“Please choose the combatants from Cloud Summit Villa.”
The space began to prompt the people of Cloud Summit to enter the arena.
Surprisingly, the combative Xia Bai did not move. After thinking it through, it was understandable.
In the remaining single battle, Ye Zhongming would definitely take the stage; she had no chance. The battle beast competition was naturally ruled out. What remained were the duo and five-person matches.
Xia Bai’s fighting style was not suitable for cooperation; the only person in this world she would willingly work with was Ye Zhongming. So if she participated in the duo match, it wouldn’t be very appropriate. The five-person match, however, was different; Xia Bai could take the lead as the strong point, and the other four could cooperate and follow her into battle.
If Xia Bai didn’t go and Ye Zhongming didn’t go, among the remaining people, the strongest were Xiao Min and another vice-captain from the red dress guard, Dai Zhi.
Xiao Min had grown into the actual commander of the red dress guard, and Dai Zhi’s assistance was indispensable. The latter was also the third-in-command when either Xia Bai or Xiao Min was absent.
The two of them usually cooperated well and were very in sync; both were eight-star evolvers, and their strength was enough to make them the most suitable candidates for this match.
Ye Zhongming nodded in agreement, and the two entered the light and shadow arena, followed by two battle beasts.
As for the abilities of the battle beasts, the restrictions had been temporarily lifted, as there would be a battle beast competition later.
After both sides entered the light and shadow arena, the beautiful energy structure closed off again, the surroundings dimmed, and this place became the focus.
“Toria!” The man from the journey of the hidden snake said coldly.
“Melfis!” The woman beside him said the same.
However, their seemingly polite behavior became more like a demonstration or contempt because no one saw any other emotions on their faces; only indifference was apparent.
Such individuals are either extremely indifferent to others or to themselves.
In short, they are utterly indifferent to life.
Though the apocalypse is filled with ruthless characters, those who are truly indifferent to life are actually a minority.
“The countdown for the duo match begins, 10, 9, …”
