CHAPTER TEXT:
"Brother Ye, I feel like something is rising here and here."
Seeing Ye Zhongming return from outside, a boy who had practiced secret methods hurried over to ask about the changes in his body.
Others gathered around, seeking advice.
These children, in a time of peace, should have been middle or high school students, treasures in their families, enjoying a beautiful student era filled with the excitement and bitterness of budding emotions. They were slowly but steadily forming their worldviews and values, planning their futures, either clearly or vaguely, with the help of themselves or their parents.
However, the past six months in the apocalypse had turned them into qualified killers. Back in the wilderness on the outskirts of Peace Town, this group of kids showcased skillful and precise cooperation, along with a ruthless decisiveness that left Ye Zhongming astonished.
Although they had adapted to life in the apocalypse, they were still young. This group of children had a strong bond; while jealousy might not exist, there was no lack of comparison among them.
Ayang was their older brother and the only one-star evolver at that time. These kids were also working hard to become evolvers, and the gap between them wasn't that significant.
But now, their brother Ayang was already a five-star evolver, while they were still making progress, not even reaching the strength of a one-star evolver. How could these children not feel anxious?
They had considered taking Evolution Potions to rapidly increase their strength, just like brother Ayang did, but they had received early warnings: anyone who dared to take Evolution Potions privately would die.
These days, following Boss Ye, they understood very well that if they dared to break the rules, they would indeed die.
In this situation, the only thing left for them to do was to work harder to practice their secret methods.
Seeing the high enthusiasm of these children, Ye Zhongming was also willing to pass on his experiences to them. These kids might very well be the hope for the future.
After answering their questions, Tong Hu and the others returned, telling Ye Zhongming that everything had been taken care of. They had also checked the blueprints multiple times, ensuring there were no omissions or errors.
"At this rate, we can finish everything in two days. Also, this is the latest situation from the Ogre Chain regarding the villa."
Even though he had watched Ye Zhongming use the Book of the Blood Sacrifice of Ten Thousand to create a piece of purple equipment, Tong Hu still couldn't guess what this young man, who had become his boss, was planning to do.
Now, even though they were clearly near Cloud Summit Villa, he wasn't in a hurry to meet with his subordinates. Instead, he was doing some… very bizarre things around Cloud Summit Mountain.
Anyway, Tong Hu thought the act of scattering blood and burying magic crystals in the ditches was quite strange.
Two days.
Ye Zhongming looked in the direction of Cloud Summit Villa, calculated in his heart, then immediately sat down and closed his eyes, entering a state of quiet contemplation.
Tong Hu, Ayang, and others quickly surrounded Ye Zhongming for protection.

Hong Bo was the leader of the old bones mercenary corps and a five-star evolver.
However, his five-star evolution potion had come in a somewhat "uncertain" way. Due to some reasons, he had connections with the higher-ups of the Ogre Chain, which earned him their trust, allowing him to obtain a bottle of five-star evolution potion through a "loan."
But no matter how good his relationship with the Ogre higher-ups was, something as rare as a five-star potion couldn't simply be given away for free; he had to repay it.
How to repay? By becoming a partner with the Ogre Chain, or in other words, an alternative subordinate, before settling the debt.
Because once the Ogre gave them a task, Hong Bo and his old bones mercenary corps had no room to refuse.
