“Since the moment you started speaking.” Ella nodded.
When Ye Zhongming returned to Earth, although he wore a mask, he didn’t deliberately alter his voice. This voice was something Ella would never forget in her lifetime. During the struggle for the Mountain King Crown, this person left an indelible impression on her and her women's camp.
“What are you doing here? What happened to your camp?” Although Ella's camp had lost in the struggle, considering the context at that time, they should have been a powerful force. After suffering losses, they still had the means to protect themselves, so it was surprising that Ella became one of the three leaders here.
If the women's camp had merged with Gold and Silver City, then just now...
“It's just me.” Ella's voice was low, “All the others… are dead.”
Ye Zhongming fell silent and didn’t ask how they died. He wasn’t particularly interested; such things happened almost every day in the apocalypse.
“Thank you for not killing me, an old acquaintance.” Ella said with a bitter smile.
Ye Zhongming shook his head, “I didn't kill you not just because we know each other, but also because you stayed there without moving.”
After Ella entered, even when the other two leaders and the warehouse guards attacked Ye Zhongming, she did not act.
In Ye Zhongming's view, she saved herself by her actions.
“That equipment belongs to 'Azer'.” Ella pointed to the first leader Ye Zhongming had killed, “The gemstone embedded on the upper right side of his belt.”
Ye Zhongming rummaged through and tore the gemstone off, holding it in his hand.
After fiddling with it for a few minutes, he didn’t know how he did it, but the sphere floating in the air suddenly expanded, turning into a door. Outside, everything inside could be seen clearly.
Ye Zhongming took everything out. Among them were some personal belongings of this person, all on one side of the space. On the other side, there were ten large boxes. Upon opening the first five boxes, he found magic crystals, all above level seven, including five ninth-level magic crystals.
The other five boxes made the King of Cloud Summit's eyes light up when opened.
Inside, it was all Moon Age Gold!
He quickly counted; it should exceed ten million Moon Age Gold.
This was quite a sum.
“Is there anything in... the sky that can resurrect someone?”
While Ye Zhongming was inspecting the items in the space, Ella quietly waited beside him. Only after he finished did she cautiously ask a question.
The King of Cloud Summit looked at her in confusion.
“I know you went up there, and you're the only one who could come back. So, I think you must be the strongest person. Well… did you encounter anyone up there who has the ability to help me resurrect Jiana?”
Jiana, the black leader of the women's camp.
Ye Zhongming saw Ella extend her hand. On the back of her left hand, the skin and bone in the center were gone; a transparent energy bubble was embedded there.
The King of Cloud Summit saw a soul-like entity of a female human floating inside.
“What is this...”
Ye Zhongming, who was quite knowledgeable, had never encountered such a situation. He finally became interested and asked how it happened.
Through Ella's narration, Ye Zhongming roughly understood the situation.
After separating from Ye Zhongming and the others, Ella and Jiana brought the women's camp back to their base, but the situation of the camp had been significantly weakened compared to before. The rule of only accepting women made them objects of desire for many forces, leading to inevitable conflicts.
The process was tough, and many people died, but Ella always felt they could persevere.
At that time, the first batch of nine-star evolvers had already gone to the All Races of the Universe, and the women's camp, understanding that they would surely perish without top-level life, searched for ninth-level magic crystals everywhere.
They allied with a few friendly forces and paid a very high price, finally acquiring a bottle of nine-star evolution potion, but by then, over seventy percent of the women's camp had been lost.
