Bai Feng had already woken up, but his condition was very poor. If it weren't for Park Soo-young’s powerful job as an apostle of light, along with the excellent healing effects of the sweet dew technique and gentle chain, Bai Feng would have been dead long ago.
Counting this time, this boss of Renxing had already been saved by Cloud Summit Villa twice.
“Boss Ye, please take a seat.” One of Bai Feng's subordinates saw Ye Zhongming arrive and quickly moved a chair for him, being polite to Liu Zhenghong and Le Da Yuan behind Ye Zhongming as well.
Previously, Bai Feng was the leader of the Renxing Battle Team, the number one force in Ying City. But now it was different; the young man in front of him was the true number one in Ying City, and Cloud Summit Villa was already subtly taking on the appearance of the overlord of Ying City.
“Hehe, it seems that every time I see you, I'm lying in bed.”
Although Bai Feng had saved his life, one of his hands was ruined, and his body sustained serious injuries. It was uncertain how he would recover. The former number one in Ying City now looked somewhat dispirited, with a tone of hopelessness.
This injury was different from the last. Last time, Ye Zhongming needed him, and he didn't suffer any loss of limbs. Under Park Soo-young’s care and Ye Zhongming’s assistance, Bai Feng quickly recovered and became even stronger.
But this time was different. Leaving aside whether Ye Zhongming still had means to help him recover quickly, just the loss of his hand meant that even if Bai Feng’s body healed, his strength would greatly decline.
Ye Zhongming smiled, "What are your plans for the future?"
Bai Feng's pale face was unshaven, but the occasional gleam in his eyes still faintly showed the shadow of the number one in Ying City.
“Now that I'm in this state, I can’t lead the Renxing Battle Team anymore. I’ve asked my deputy, who is also a three-star evolver, to take the team and leave.” Bai Feng replied slowly, then forced a smile despite the pain, “Boss Ye, you aren't thinking of taking in such a useless person like me, are you?”
Ye Zhongming shook his head, “With all due respect, Boss Bai, although our two collaborations have been pleasant, and I don’t intend to ask for any reward for saving you this time, the trail you’ve taken is too obvious for me to trust you. At least for now, I have to be responsible for my own people.”
Bai Feng laughed heartily, but his body couldn’t handle it. After a brief, intense cough, he said, “Boss Ye, you speak straightforwardly without any pretenses. Although I’m no longer the boss of the Renxing Battle Team, I really don’t want to be subordinate to anyone for now. I only have this little bit of pride left.”
“Then what do you need from me, Boss Ye?”
Bai Feng knew Ye Zhongming wouldn’t come to him for no reason, and he didn’t believe in the idea of being saved for free this time. In Ye Zhongming’s eyes, he must still have some value.
“I want to ask about some matters in Ying City.”
The two of them chatted for a while. Bai Feng shared everything he knew with Ye Zhongming, even giving him a small notebook detailing what he and the Renxing Battle Team had discovered about Ying City over the days, including the locations and strengths of various forces, roulette locations, the skills of outstanding individuals, as well as the positions of zombie hordes and mutated life forms. Ye Zhongming’s eyes lit up as he read.
The value of this information was incredibly high, even in Ye Zhongming's eyes, it was comparable to a bottle of three-star evolution elixir. Although its value would decrease slightly as each day passed due to changes, it was still usable in the short term.
After putting away the notebook, Ye Zhongming stood up.
“Boss Bai, don’t lose heart. Some special professions can restore your hand. Pay attention to this yourself, and we will help inquire. If we find any news, we will let you know.”
Bai Feng nodded in gratitude. Although he was reluctant to become Ye Zhongming's subordinate, he still held a favorable impression of this young man and Cloud Summit Villa.
