Xia Bai and her battle team stayed behind to clean up the battlefield. In the apocalypse, such opportunities are actually a great chance to get rich, and any force would be willing to do this.
However, Ye Zhongming's intention to keep Xia Bai back was very clear — no other forces in Ying City were allowed to interfere!
Xia Bai's fierceness and independence had deeply ingrained themselves in the hearts of all surviving members in Ying City. This woman, with an evolution level even higher than Boss Ye's, could kill without batting an eye. If you provoked her, she might not hold back against her own people in Cloud Summit, let alone those from other forces.
With her around, leading her all-female team that mirrored her personality, who would dare to provoke them?
A phrase summarizing the current male survivors in Ying City was that this group of women had blood on their hands.
Moreover, forces like Star Beauty Corporation and Renxing Battle Team did not have the face to compete for the cleanup work. Those who had besieged this small team earlier were all their people, yet in the end, not only did they fail to complete their mission of annihilating the enemy, but they were also pressured to the point where they couldn't lift their heads.
Even if their marksmanship was good and their ammunition abundant, without their two strongest members, that was no excuse. After all, they had over ten thousand people on their side — twenty times more than the small group! It was embarrassing to even say it, and there was no face left to compete for this task.
So, upon realizing Boss Ye's intentions, no one voiced any objections, and those with Cloud Summit followed to the nearest northern city wall.
Ye Zhongming knew that the sea beast tide was approaching. His keen senses felt the immense pressure coming from all directions.
That was the pressure unique to mutated life forms!
Since his rebirth, Ye Zhongming had only felt this kind of pressure twice: once facing the iron lock prisoner and once facing the final boss of the competition of death roulette.
This time...
Ye Zhongming felt that things were slightly deviating from his expectations.
But he wasn't afraid; he had reserved some backup.
The reason he wanted to occupy the northern city wall, aside from its proximity to the Ying City Coalition's base, was that it was also closest to the position of his backup.
The rumbling sounds continued, and the ground trembled without pause, only slightly less intense than before.
The situation on the Ying City Coalition's target city wall was chaotic, with some people running down, some running up, and many more signaling from the city wall, clearly indicating that the sea beasts had been discovered outside.
"Kill all those who charge at our team!"
Seeing the incoming crowd, Ye Zhongming issued a direct order.
In this apocalypse, these people were not ordinary; they were strong evolvers. If they managed to break into the team, chaos would surely ensue, and Ye Zhongming did not want that to happen.
The Ying City Coalition seemed to have a considerable number of people, but compared to the entire Inner City or all of Cloud Port, their numbers were not as impressive. Once a melee broke out, even if they weren't completely dispersed, they would be severely weakened.
Just moments ago, that battle team had almost ignited a fire, and with Boss Ye's words, the people of Ying City showed no hesitation; anyone who dared to approach was directly cut down.
The people from Cloud Port weren't foolish either. Seeing how fierce this team was, they mostly kept their distance, allowing Ye Zhongming and his team to easily ascend the city wall.
"Who are you people? Which force do you belong to?"
A middle-aged man noticed the surge of people and immediately ran over. Once he asked, he quickly added, "We'll discuss that later; hurry, organize your people over there to prepare defenses. The sea beasts are about to charge!"
Some of the Ying City members raised their eyebrows. Who dared to shout at Boss Ye like that? Were they seeking death?
