When the people of the apocalypse were not blinded by greed, they were quite perceptive.
Due to the difference in strength, others only saw Ye Zhongming killing a three-star evolver companion in an instant, but they failed to recognize what this process really meant. They thought Ye Zhongming must have used some vicious skill or equipment capable of delivering such a lethal blow to a three-star evolver.
However, Mina and Garan were different; as four-star evolvers, they understood how difficult it was to instantly kill a three-star evolver. It is one thing to see others do something effortlessly, but when it comes to oneself, the challenge becomes apparent.
Thus, they were acutely aware of how difficult it was to bring about death with just a simple tap of the palm. They couldnât comprehend how this person achieved it, but it didn't prevent them from recognizing one fact:
This young man held an overwhelming advantage over three-star evolvers!
They couldnât do it, but he could, which meant he was far stronger than they were.
A five-star evolver, was the shared thought of the two women, which prompted them to stop their subordinates.
Yet, they could not understand why this person seemed so unfamiliar. Logically speaking, in Linhai, a five-star evolver would be as dazzling as a previous superstar; they shouldnât have failed to recognize him.
Regarding such a strong individual, the two women naturally did not dare to act carelessly, quickly walking up to Ye Zhongming, even Garan, who had a clearly rebellious nature, followed suit.
After all, this was the apocalypseâa time when killing was a common occurrence.
âHave your people go down and retrieve the bodies of these star sunfish, and each of you should bring some along with me,â Ye Zhongming instructed.
These thousands of star sunfish were not something one person could take away, and those on the shore could serve as free labor.
The two women instinctively wanted to refuse, but upon seeing the fresh penetrating wounds on the heads of the fifth-level star sunfish, they suddenly realized that the man before them should not just be a five-star evolver, but a six-star!
How could a five-star evolver deal with so many mutant life forms of the same level?
They immediately agreed.
Knowing when to yield was also one of the survival skills in the apocalypse.
Watching the survivors jump into the Dark River like dumplings to salvage the fish corpses, Ye Zhongming squatted by the riverbank, wearing a harmless smile, not far from the still-warm corpse.
âMove faster, the smell of blood here might attract some monsters from the Dark River, and it's even more likely that other star sunfish groups are on their way. If you slow down, you may lose your life.â
As he watched the speed of those frightened survivors increase, Ye Zhongming added lightly, âCorruptors die.â
Saying this, as if fearing they might not understand, he released the Demon Servicing Beehive.
Thousands of needle birds, averaging around level four, began circling above the Dark River, intimidating the survivors below, who were now cowering in fear at the sight of birds higher in level than themselves.
At this moment, everyone understood that he was indeed a true powerhouse. Not to mention anything else, just looking at his battle pets, there were even sixth-level ones, and a whole bunch of fourth and fifth-levels. Even if he did not take action himself, these flying battle pets alone could kill the people here a hundred times over.
With the needle birds overseeing, the work was done quickly; salvaging the fish corpses was not a technical job and was very easy for evolvers.
Before long, all the thousands of fish corpses were pulled ashore, piled up into small mountains by the riverbank!
During this time, the strong smell of blood attracted another group of star sunfish. Their numbers were not many, and they were not high in level, with the leading fish only at the fourth level of mutation.
These star sunfish, having no sense to stay submerged, leaped out of the water to attack the evolvers. The moment they broke the water's surface, or even just barely breached it, they were immediately overwhelmed by the aggressive needle birds. Within seconds, all hundreds of star sunfish perished here, adding to Ye Zhongmingâs loot.
