There is one more chapter, but it will be late at night~~~
After picking through the materials, Ye Zhongming threw all the unnecessary items into the Gate of Sacrifice, while Xia Bai sat nearby watching him.
The sudden progress in their relationship did not make them feel awkward; on the contrary, it felt more natural between them.
In the apocalypse, strange men and women often find themselves in bed together for various normal or bizarre reasons, let alone Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai, who shared many common experiences.
Ye Zhongming could tell that after this incident, Xia Bai seemed a bit more normal in front of him, but he wasn't so optimistic about how she would appear in front of others.
Strictly speaking, every survivor in the apocalypse is somewhat mentally ill, and there’s nothing wrong with Xia Bai maintaining her dual identity.
After sorting everything out, Ye Zhongming felt that dawn was approaching; the surroundings were noticeably brighter, but then the wind picked up. The two exchanged a glance, realizing that the Sea King Disk was about to activate once again!
Ye Zhongming immediately pulled Xia Bai back to the position they had occupied earlier.
Both of them had restored quite a bit of strength, especially Ye Zhongming, who possessed the star-absorbing satan and mastered the great thousand soul refining technique. He had already surpassed the Xia Bai who had been illuminated by the golden light, and he estimated that with another half a day, he could regain his peak state.
The two quietly observed the changes in the Sea King Disk, silently memorizing everything they believed to be useful. Perhaps a single detail could help them escape.
Just like the previous time, a whirlwind blew away the gray mist, revealing the sky. The moonlight poured down on the Sea King Disk, and the golden crown emitted a golden light as sea beasts emerged from the fog.
With her mask on, Xia Bai was on high alert when she suddenly noticed Ye Zhongming take a few steps towards the mist outside, but he quickly stopped, his body being pushed back.
He shook his head at Xia Bai, indicating that it was indeed impossible to get out.
It seemed they had to find another way.
This time, they did not take the risk of entering when the golden light appeared. The sea beasts ignored them and began to fight fiercely for the position under the golden light.
Even though they had witnessed such brutality before, it still made their hearts race.
The brutal combat between mutated life forms and the slaughter among humans each had their own cruelty. However, the gruesome visual effect created by a dozen humans could never compare to that caused by these mutated creatures.
This probably illustrated the difference between mutated life forms, who were more accustomed to determining victory and defeat through physical strength, and humans, who were extremely protective of their bodies.
While the carnage was as brutal as the last time, the result was different. This time, a seventh-level six-armed naga stood early under the golden light, powerful enough to withstand the joint attacks from several directions of sea beasts. Though it was continuously wounded, the golden light constantly healed it, infuriating the other sea beasts.
They had two choices: either quickly kill this two-meter-tall naga or wear it down.
At that moment, the mutated life forms with a certain level of intelligence began to regret their earlier actions. If they hadn’t killed four or five sea beasts during their initial charge, they wouldn’t have allowed this six-armed naga to act so arrogantly.
Ye Zhongming did not intervene; he was just observing carefully, silently timing himself and watching the changes in the Sea King Disk.
Until the naga held out under the golden light until the end and triggered a secondary mutation, this round of activation finally ended. The remaining sea beasts retreated, and the naga still wanted to deal with the two humans, but perhaps time did not allow it, and it left.
“Thirteen minutes!”
