This was obviously a joke between the two of them. Teasing? In the apocalypse, does that even count as a threat?
Xia Lei had a cheerful personality and was quite bold. She often mingled with the outgoing armed police, speaking and acting generously, and she would often make jokes that were a bit risqué.
Right now, she was just using this approach to make some small requests of Ye Zhongming.
This request was not excessive in any way. Ye Zhongming knew very well that if all other factors were set aside and they only considered personal strength to determine who was most qualified to possess the two-star evolution opportunity, then among the team members, the first choices would definitely be Mo Ye and Xia Lei.
If he had to choose one over the other, he would pick Xia Lei.
Although both women were the best armed police in the city they left, and both held many records, Xia Lei still had the edge over Mo Ye. Moreover, Xia Lei had received guidance from a master in knife techniques, which made her a bit stronger, especially when using Edge of the Moon.
Now that she proposed to gain an evolution opportunity after Liang Chuyin and Le Da Yuan, it was quite reasonable.
Additionally, Ye Zhongming was aware of her experiences in the new district base. He understood that this woman had a greater desire for evolution due to her husband's betrayal and empathized with her feelings.
With a reasonable request, a valid reason, and a communicative method that utilized her feminine advantage, Ye Zhongming didn't feel any disgust.
"Move aside, move aside!"
Before the two of them could enter the city, the roar of motorcycles came from behind. Everyone turned to see a small convoy of five or six motorcycles rushing towards them, each rider had a small bag strapped around their waist, visibly bulging.
"The motorcycle team is back."
Someone whispered, and the crowd quickly parted to make way for the entrance to the county city. The riders drove their motorcycles straight in, and the more than twenty guards at the city gate didn't dare to stop them at all.
"Did you see their waists? They're all filled with magic crystals!"
"So many?"
"What did you think! They burned that place for two days, and yesterday afternoon the fire subsided a bit, so they left the city. They probably cleared the scene overnight; you think they could pick up how much?"
"Then, they must have struck it rich! At least a couple thousand, right?"
"Probably around three thousand magic crystals. Don’t forget, there weren't just zombies over there; there were also quite a few living people trapped inside who must have been bitten by zombies and mutated."
", these bastards."
"The world has changed; they're evolvers. There's nothing we can do. We know these people aren't great, but don’t we still want to enter the city? We want to be a bit safer, so we have to tolerate it."
The people around fell silent. They had escaped from nearby areas and had seen too much danger and death on their way. They craved a place to settle down, even if it wasn't the best place.
Ye Zhongming's lips curled into a cold smile.
If he hadn't been reincarnated, this place would develop into a battle group like the new district base, ranking in the middle among the surrounding cities. The leader, Huang Xijie, was a five-star stronger.
Later, it would be destroyed by another battle group, with all the key personnel killed.
In his previous life, Ye Zhongming had personally destroyed this place.
To be precise, it was because the big man had a grudge against this battle group, having suffered inhumane tortures here. When the big man exchanged his life for an evolution opportunity and gathered a group of comrades, their accumulated hatred finally had an outlet for revenge.
The big man led people to bloodily wipe out the Ulan Battle Group, with Ye Zhongming participating in person.
Now, those arrogant evolvers on motorcycles might be the same ones Ye Zhongming had killed in his previous life.
After the motorcycle riders passed, the crowd began to move forward slowly again.
