In the apocalypse, lone heroes do exist, but they are rare.
Before reaching the nine-star level, even eight-star evolvers are unwilling to face an entire team alone.
This is because a team consists of many people, and even if their levels are lower than yours, there might be special professionals among them or individuals with unique skills and equipment that could affect or weaken you. One careless move could lead to death.
Now that the apocalypse has just passed one year, there are still no survivors powerful enough to look down upon the world. The immaturity in aspects such as professional skills, weaponry, and personal experience makes it impossible to confront an organized assault.
So when the black cloud team and the Stinger Squad paused in front of the man and woman, they did not feel much concern; perhaps it was just an envoy sent by Peng Liang to negotiate.
Of course, it was more likely that they were there to welcome guests.
“Where is Peng Liang...?”
As the crowd parted, two robust men stepped forward. They were the bosses of two teams, and upon seeing the man and woman in front of them, their brows furrowed.
Individually, either of the two men held a higher status than Peng Liang in the underground city. The black cloud team was backed by Lin Xing and was considered a trusted team over there, becoming somewhat arrogant.
Seeing that Peng Liang had not come out personally made them somewhat displeased.
“He’s dead.”
Ye Zhongming narrowed his eyes, scanning the crowd.
Dead?
This answer surprised the two bosses, as they had not really paid attention to such news on their way here.
“Dead or not doesn’t matter; where are those star sunfish you brought back?”
“Go to hell!”
Not sensing any threatening presence, Ye Zhongming decisively made his move.
This time, nearly all members of the black cloud team and the Stinger Squad were present. Almost all the warriors responsible for combat had come. This wasn’t because they placed great importance on Peng Liang, but rather to create pressure and intimidation. Although the passage wasn't particularly narrow, being crowded together made it feel somewhat cramped, with hundreds of people lined up spilling far back.
There weren't many survivors in Linhai, so such a gathering of people was a rare sight.
But who could have imagined that even with so many people gathered, someone would dare to attack them, and there were only two individuals!
Were these two crazy? Or just foolish?
This thought crossed everyone’s mind, but it disappeared within seconds.
Because these two were just too strong!
To verify the strength of the Silver Corpse, Ye Zhongming specifically let the two bosses deal with her, while he took on the others.
Previously, the assessment of the Silver Corpse was between five-star and six-star evolvers, but that was merely an estimate. Ye Zhongming wanted to see her true capabilities.
When the Silver Corpse made her move, Ye Zhongming was taken aback.
Not because she was powerful, but because of her fighting style.
It was too direct!
Two individuals tried to block the Silver Corpse from facing their boss directly, but she simply collided with them. Due to her height, she only reached the collarbone of the two men, yet she crashed into one of them. The man’s sternum visibly caved in, and blood gushed uncontrollably from his mouth, as broken bones pierced into his internal organs, indicating he wouldn’t survive.
The other person hadn’t even comprehended what happened when the Silver Corpse lunged again, this time smashing into him. She suddenly tilted her head back, striking his chin. The sound of a bone fracture echoed, and this little girl-like Silver Corpse directly broke the man’s neck.
The entire process was fleeting, lasting only a few seconds. When the Silver Corpse stood in front of the two bosses, they clearly had not yet reacted.
Those two subordinates were both four-star evolvers, and they were instantaneously killed?
While the two bosses were in a daze, the Silver Corpse transformed into a shadow and rushed towards them.
