In the apocalypse, teams are crucial.
To give a simple example, in the apocalypse, hunting monsters or mutated life forms is the most common task. A three-star evolutionist, if taking on such a task alone, can at most handle a Level 3 mutated life form. Some individuals with powerful equipment or professions might attempt to hunt Level 4 mutated life forms, but they need to select targets wisely. Once faced with groups, let alone Level 3, they might not even be able to deal with Level 2.
However, it’s different for a team. With the same task, if a small team of three three-star evolutionists is formed, they can completely challenge Level 4 evolution life forms. If tactics are arranged properly, they might even attempt to hunt Level 5 mutated life forms! The rewards from such hunts are naturally incomparable to what one person can achieve. Even when averaged among three people, it far exceeds what one person could gain.
This is the power of a team, which is safer, offers greater rewards, and enables rapid growth.
In the apocalypse, strength is the only guarantee of safety.
Ye Zhongming was once a member of a combat group, and the relationships within the team were quite good; they were true brothers. However, most of them are still unknown to him now, and a few who do know where he is cannot be reached, as he still has things to accomplish here.
To be honest, Ye Zhongming had never thought about forming a team before, at least not until he found his brothers and sisters from his past life.
But the appearance of Mo Ye made him waver.
This woman is truly a good candidate for a team member.
She is skilled and has received professional training. She likely possesses some family martial arts, which gives her a foundation far superior to ordinary people. Talents with such an excellent starting point are rare. Once she evolves, she will be significantly stronger than others of the same level.
Moreover, and most importantly, this woman has a sense of justice, is willing to help others, has a kind nature, and a sense of cooperation.
A team can display powerful capabilities, but the people in the team must be trustworthy. Otherwise, if someone betrays them at a critical moment, any strength or rewards become meaningless.
Previously, Ye Zhongming didn’t need to handle team recruitment; that was the captain's responsibility. But now it’s different; he has to plan for the future.
Suppressing this thought, Ye Zhongming decided to further assess this woman.
The blood tongue lizard's tongue emitted an enticing aroma that stimulated one's appetite. The earth yellow pill was already drooling, eagerly waiting for Ye Zhongming to share some.
Mo Ye, on the other hand, looked reluctant. While she sprinkled seasoning, she covered her nose as if the scent made her feel ill.
Ye Zhongming first gave one section of the lizard's tongue to the earth yellow pill. The large dog immediately gobbled it up and soon finished, licking its tongue and staring at Ye Zhongming, still wanting more.
Ye Zhongming cut a few pieces and placed them on a plate, offering them to Mo Ye, but she backed away, firmly refusing to eat.
Shrugging, Ye Zhongming didn’t insist, saving enough for himself and giving the rest to the earth yellow pill.
Currently, the earth yellow pill was in a period of mutation; consuming more of this would be beneficial.
Finding a fork from the kitchen, Ye Zhongming devoured all the meat. He felt warmth spreading through his body, knowing this was the so-called genetic power. This power not only improved his physique but could even restore his mental strength to a certain extent.
As his body digested the meat, Ye Zhongming clearly felt his mental recovery speed increase significantly. Although his mental strength was still at a very low level, at least it wouldn't affect his physical capabilities now.
He stood up and did a few movements, knowing that he should have no problem continuing to fight, as long as he didn’t use professional skills.
“Let’s go.”
After a quick tidy-up, Ye Zhongming grabbed his backpack and prepared to leave.
