Ye Zhongming was surprised.
In his previous life, he had developed a keen sense of danger, and the enhancement of his mental strength from consuming brain worms gave him an invisible mental tentacle that allowed him to accurately predict hostility or attacks.
However, this time, he felt nothing at all before the attack.
Just before his feet were pierced by the heat from the ground, he lightly pushed off, and his body flew obliquely outwards. At the moment the ground exploded, he pressed himself against a nearby wall and revealed a reinforced handgun in his hand, pointing it at the large hole in the ground.
Ah! Ah!
Screams came from below, both male and female.
“Brother Dong!”
“Let go quickly, you bastard!”
“Don't pull! It hurts!”
“Damn it, I’ll kill you!”
“Sister Xia, don’t do this!”
“Burn her, burn her!”
Some chaotic shouts came from the room on the first floor, making Ye Zhongming furrow his brows.
It seemed to be an accident?
After listening to a few sentences, Ye Zhongming realized that something was happening below, and it seemed he had fallen victim to an unforeseen disaster.
He quietly approached the large hole and looked down. Ye Zhongming saw several naked men and women surrounding a bed stained with blood and other liquids. A muscular man stood on it, while a woman was half-lying between his legs, biting down...
What moved Ye Zhongming was that at this moment, half of the woman’s face had been burned beyond recognition, with the same fate befalling her shoulder. A smell of roasted meat filled the room, mixed with the scent of lust, making it smell vaguely nauseating.
The woman tightly gripped the man’s legs with both hands, trying to bite down. However, due to severe burns on half her face, her jawbone and biting muscles were damaged, making it impossible for her to bite through the man, who was an evolver and a professional.
Yet she kept struggling, and beneath her burned eyelids was a gaze filled with immense hatred and disgust, shaking Ye Zhongming to the core.
This woman truly did not care about life or death.
Such a person, even if an ordinary one, was terrifying.
"As long as you open your mouth, I'll spare your life."
The man, bitten on a critical part, trembled all over in pain but dared not make any move, fearing an accident would prevent him from being a man.
Ye Zhongming focused on the man’s palm, where flames were burning, itching to retaliate against the woman but worried about hurting himself.
“Sister Xia, don’t do this, uh…” A woman beside them, exposing her fair body, desperately tried to pull the woman who was risking her life, but was kicked away by a man. The ordinary woman’s body crumpled under the evolver's attack, shattering several ribs, and she crashed against the wall, coughing up blood while the light in her eyes gradually faded, with some liquid spilling from her mouth, as if bidding farewell to the world.
“Let go, or I’ll blow your head off!”
Another man, having put on his underwear, pointed a gun at the woman everyone was focused on, fiercely preparing to fire.
“Get lost! Do you want me to become a eunuch?”
The standing man waved his flaming hand at his subordinate, shouting desperately. He was genuinely afraid that his subordinate would impulsively fire, causing the woman to take revenge before dying.
The incident happened quickly; it had been less than half a minute since the man began to calm down, gasping for breath, “I’ll give you two choices. Either you let go, and I’ll give you a bottle of Evolution Potion, and we’ll pretend nothing happened today. Or, I’ll go kill all you women. I also want to know your evolution secret. I’ll tear down your entire villa, including the basement. I don’t believe I can’t find your secret. Don’t push me! Don’t push me!”
The man was becoming ruthless, his killing intent growing stronger.
Ye Zhongming had been quietly watching. He actually knew that the reason for the current situation was just the early stage of the apocalypse, when people had just become evolvers. They still retained the habits of peacetime regarding experience, skills, and mentality. If it were someone who had survived in the apocalypse for two or three years, there would be a hundred ways to instantly kill this woman while ensuring his own safety... until he heard the words "the basement."
