Ye Zhongming and Xia Lei strolled down leisurely.
This was the basement of the granary, very hidden, known only to a few trusted confidants of Young Master Huang. The fact that Shengyuan was detained here hadn’t spread widely; apart from Young Master Huang and his son, only three or four people knew the details.
When the guards saw two strangers coming down, they immediately sensed something was wrong.
These two were also evolvers and reacted quickly, drawing out daggers from behind and rushing forward. At the same time, they didn’t forget to alert Nurse Ge, who was in the cell.
Ye Zhongming directly bypassed the two and stood at the cell door, leaving those two evolvers for Xia Lei, who wielded the edge of the moon.
“Who dares to cause trouble here?!”
Nurse Ge had grown accustomed to being domineering in Ulan County City. Even when she heard the warnings from outside, she didn’t take them seriously. She put down Shengyuan’s arm, which was almost beaten to a pulp, and furrowed her brows, preparing to go out and curse at them.
As soon as the door opened, Nurse Ge saw a young man standing in the doorway, looking at her with the gaze one would give to a corpse. Behind him was a spray of blood and the head of the person who had just greeted her, now flying through the air with a look of terror on his face.
Nurse Ge opened her mouth to scream, but a hand gripped her throat, effectively stifling the scream.
Ye Zhongming’s gaze passed over the woman and landed on a bloodied figure lying on the filthy ground. Even though the dirty, blood-stained hair obscured the view, Ye Zhongming recognized the familiar large face.
Shengyuan, the big guy, his former brother!
Although he had long known that Shengyuan would suffer such torment, seeing his brother’s miserable state stirred up a wave of suppressed anger within Ye Zhongming.
With a tight grip, the one-star evolver woman was crushed like a chick as Ye Zhongming broke her throat.
At this moment, even facing an opponent of the same level, Ye Zhongming could completely suppress them. Such an inexperienced one-star evolver before him had almost no power to resist.
Hearing the commotion, Shengyuan struggled to open his eyes, and in a daze, he saw a man squatting down in front of him, cradling him in his arms.
“Big guy, sorry I’m a bit late.”
After hearing this, Shengyuan fell back into unconsciousness.
Ye Zhongming carried Shengyuan out of the cell, while Xia Lei stood outside, wiping the blood off the edge of the moon. Two guards lay dead on the ground, and the basement was filled with the stench of blood.
“This is the person you were looking for?”
Xia Lei glanced at the nearly two-meter tall man and thought to herself that he was really ugly.
“Yes, he is someone who can block any harm for us.”

Young Master Huang stood on the steps, looking at the three corpses in the basement, his body trembling slightly.
In the pool of blood stood a middle-aged man with his hands behind his back and his head lowered, making it difficult to see his expression.
He was Huang Xijie, a builder in Ulan County City and the current leader of the Ulan base.
“Xijie, it must be Shengyuan’s scoundrel friends coming to rescue him…”
“Slap!”
A woman was speaking in a flirtatious tone, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by a loud slap from Huang Xijie.
The power of an evolver sent the woman flying. If she hadn’t been an evolver herself, this strike could have shattered half her face.
“Isn’t this all your fault!” Huang Xijie lifted his head, revealing a furious expression, his purple-black face muscles twitching.
In just a short time, he had lost six subordinates, all of whom were evolvers! They were slaughtered like livestock, then left without a trace, disappearing out of the city gates!
He wasn’t mourning for these people; he was grieving over the six bottles of evolution potions used on them. Since the apocalypse began, Huang Xijie had only managed to acquire a little over twenty bottles of evolution potions. Now, nearly one-third of them were gone.
