"Thank you, Brother Nimu for the evaluation ticket, and thanks to the other brothers as well. How about we have a day of explosion this Sunday, the 26th?" Standing on the hilltop, the cold wind intensified.
Afo tugged at his collar. Unlike Ye Zhongming, who could practice the Blazing Flame Combat Technique, Afo only practiced the Great Thousand Soul Refining Technique, so his physique was not as robust as other warriors. Additionally, being somewhat older, he had a limited ability to withstand the cold.
He glanced at Miya, who was gazing blankly in the direction Ye Zhongming had vanished, and Afo sighed faintly to himself. He didn’t know whether what he was doing was right or wrong.
Miya had gathered the courage to dedicate herself to Ye Zhongming, and Afo had given her a nudge in that direction. Otherwise, even if Miya had such thoughts, this female shaman, who had always been protected by her kin, would have been stopped. After all, in the Afo Tribe, there was little that could elude this elder's notice.
But now, Afo was starting to doubt his decision. If that man never returned, then Miya's fate would be…
Afo shook his head. If Ye Zhongming truly did not come back, perhaps after the cold season, the tribe would no longer exist, making little difference in the fate of Miya.
"Let’s go, child. Whether he comes back is no longer in our control."
Miya turned to look at her clan leader and said firmly, "He will come back. He definitely will."
Ye Zhongming glanced back once; the figure on the hill had become too small to see. Turning away, a fleeting sense of reluctance vanished, replaced by a firm determination.
Royal City? Ye Zhongming smiled. No matter how perilous it is, I will still venture in.
The city, hidden deep within the mountains, the most magnificent city in the history of posthumous children, was about to welcome an unexpected guest.

The noise startled the six people in the fierce battle. At this hour of the night, anyone capable of creating such a sound represented an unknown danger.
They had to stop. Mo Ye signaled to the other two companions, and the three of them immediately rushed toward the source of the sound.
For them, facing two five-star and one four-star evolver, the ultimate outcome would definitely not be favorable. Therefore, the unexpected situation for these people from Cloud Summit Villa was not only dangerous but also an opportunity.
A chance to escape!
Little Brother Jiu was momentarily taken aback. He hesitated; after all, he was the commander and was habitually inclined to consider the overall situation and prioritize danger. Faced with the restless woods at night, he instinctively felt that they should not proceed.
But Wen Hong’s hatred for Cloud Summit Villa ran too deep; she gave Little Brother Jiu no chance to think. She immediately followed after, forcing Little Brother Jiu and the white-robed figure to passively follow her.
If it had been daytime, the white-robed figure could have surveyed the situation from the air, but now it was pitch black. Besides the faint light from their weapons, there was only a weak moonlight to rely on. Even four-star evolvers couldn’t see too far.
Concerned for his wife, the white-robed figure hesitated, but ultimately decided to activate a skill to get a clearer view of the situation ahead.
He slapped the armrest of his wheelchair, and a metal tube extended from the outer side. A flash of light illuminated a pale yellow orb, which was then launched toward the direction of the noise.
In the darkness, this light ball stood out vividly, illuminating its path and revealing Xia Bai, Shengyuan, and Mo Ye as they fled, along with the zombie horde they were about to collide with.
The three members of the Radiant World Army froze momentarily.
They were all evolvers. In the moment the light ball passed, they could see clearly that there were countless zombies in the woods, and all were at least one level evolved. There were many tier 3 and tier 4 zombies as well.
Now, the evolvers seemed to be surviving well, but that was only in the sparsely populated suburban areas with few zombies and monsters, like in the Ying City urban area, where they still only engaged in minor skirmishes as in the early days of the apocalypse.
