Xia Lei hurriedly led a few people to the back of Cloud Summit Villa, specifically to the cliff edge, where they saw a red-haired woman standing on a protruding rock at the edge of the cliff.
Due to the strength of the evolvers, Cloud Summit had established numerous sentry posts along this cliff. Cloud Summit itself regarded this place as a breakthrough point in case of being surrounded, using rappelling techniques to allow a few people to escape the encirclement. The squad that went to contact the mysterious reinforcements had also left from here.
But seeing someone...
Xia Lei didn't know how to describe the red-haired woman, as if she were her man's former pet?
In any case, she felt it was strange.
Previously, the red-haired woman had never paid attention to Cloud Summit Villa when Ye Zhongming was not present, but she also did not show any hostility toward Cloud Summit; ignoring was the best interpretation of their relationship.
It wasn't until the last time the red-haired woman took the initiative to save Mo Ye, Xia Bai, and the others that the core members of Cloud Summit had developed a slight admiration for this entity that was neither human nor corpse.
However, they never expected that she would actually come.
Xia Lei knew that the red-haired woman possessed extremely high intelligence. In Ying City, she was almost on par with the spirit woman and corpse king. If it weren't for her identity as a human puppet and not a true zombie, it was likely that the red-haired woman could really hold her own against the spirit woman and corpse king.
For such an existence, even if she had once been her man's puppet, Xia Lei did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
"I'm here, down below, come up, to notify you."
Xia Lei pondered for a moment and then analyzed the true meaning of this sentence. She suppressed the joy in her heart and still asked, "Are you here to help us?"
The red-haired woman looked at Xia Lei but did not answer immediately. Instead, she suddenly jumped lightly to Xia Lei's side, startling Liang Chuyin and Little Tiger, who were following behind.
Although the core members of Cloud Summit had not particularly focused on improving their evolutionary levels over the past six months for the sake of the group, their overall strength was still very high, as evidenced by the fact that the three of them could kill a five-star evolver.
However, when it came to dealing with someone, given Ye Zhongming's strength, he had to activate a secret realm when faced with the Evil Dragon Yangos, who was two levels higher than him. It was even more daunting to think about the red-haired woman, who was clearly two levels higher than Xia Lei and the others.
If this beautiful human puppet suddenly attacked, the three of them would truly be no match, and if anything happened to Xia Lei, Cloud Summit Villa would directly suffer a significant blow.
Fortunately, the red-haired woman did not make any attacking moves. Instead, she leaned in to sniff Xia Lei's neck before moving back some distance.
Xia Lei secretly breathed a sigh of relief; she had also been scared just now.
"I only help Ye."
The red-haired woman stated this, answering Xia Lei's question. However, her next statement made Xia Lei blush slightly.
"You smell like Ye."
Liang Chuyin and Little Tiger turned their faces away in unison, trying to suppress their laughter, thinking how impressive the red-haired woman was. After more than half a year, she could still detect the scent.
Xia Lei's face flushed with embarrassment; there was nothing she could do as that statement gave a feeling of having not bathed for half a year.
The red-haired woman made a sound to break the awkward atmosphere, and Xia Lei immediately waved for the sentries to stand farther away.
The red-haired woman returned to the cliff edge and threw down the ropes prepared by Cloud Summit. Soon, sounds came from below as one zombie after another climbed up the ropes, entering the back mountain of Cloud Summit. A few zombies with flying abilities even soared up directly. This scene left the people of Cloud Summit Villa dumbfounded.
