"This counts as yesterday's chapter; I finally made up for the two chapters owed that day~~"
"Dacheng, why don’t you say something? We didn’t come here to look for death, did we? Isn’t there supposed to be a Life Brain? Can we find it?"
"Yeah, you brought us here based on intel, and now we’re just stuck here? That big guy is out; should we go find its lair?”
Dacheng put down his binoculars, frowned, and looked at the noisy leaders beside him, unable to suppress the annoyance in his heart any longer.
"Shut up!"
Seeing Dacheng, who had always been amicable and smiling, suddenly lose his temper, the leaders were momentarily taken aback before bursting out.
Some threatened, some cursed, some wanted to start a fight, and others sneered disdainfully. In short, they all showed extreme hostility towards Dacheng.
This was the norm for the leaders of various forces in the apocalypse: hot-tempered and unruly. The leaders from Ying City were the real anomalies.
Dacheng, responsible for bringing them here while pretending to seek treasure, understood what these people had in mind. However, he didn't understand how these guys had survived so long in the apocalypse. Did they not know their own standing? A group of three-star and four-star evolvers might be living decently outside, and perhaps could reach seven-star or even eight-star levels in five or ten years.
But now, facing an eight-level mutated plant rampaging through the city, where did they get the confidence to go looking for treasures in its lair?
Moreover, even if there were treasures, would they get a chance?
Dacheng’s good temper on this journey was based on the necessity of bringing these people here. Now that the mission was more or less complete, he no longer felt the need to be polite.
But suddenly, a motorcycle squad of five or six people appeared ahead, causing Dacheng to halt his actions.
The others also looked at these people warily, unsure of where they had come from.
The leading person jumped off the motorcycle, quickly walked up to Dacheng, whispered a few words, then turned and swiftly left with his team.
Dacheng was about to lose his temper but then smiled instead, turning around to say to his group that since everyone was in a hurry, they should take them to hunt for treasures. Those people just now were his informants.
Although the surrounding people were puzzled, they agreed upon hearing that there was news of treasures. The entire contingent of thousands of people immediately set off in one direction.
Those just now were a squad from the Ogre Chain, while to outsiders, Dacheng appeared to be someone expelled from the new district base, pulling together a small team that was not strong but well-informed. In fact, he had another hidden identity: an internal informant for the Ogre Chain.
Heading towards the Yama Tree, Dacheng seemed to see a bottle of five-star Evolution Potion waving at him.
…………………………………………………………………………
Ye Zhongming had already killed countless dry corpses. These guys had no energy for him to absorb, and for the first time, the star-absorbing satan lost its former might.
According to plan, he had already traversed half the route with his team. Although they faced strong snipers, it had gone relatively smoothly. After passing through that residential area, many dry corpses had been blocked behind by those densely packed buildings, at least half of which had collapsed.
However, Ye Zhongming still sensed that something was wrong.
Up until now, not a single one of the squads he dispatched, or those sent by the Ogre Chain to contact various forces, had returned.
Ye Zhongming didn’t think they were all dead, especially since Xia Bai, Mo Ye, Liang Chuyin, Little Tiger, and others had been sent out by him. Unless the Yama Tree took action itself, it would be hard to kill these people.
And the Yama Tree was clearly accumulating power to kill Ye Zhongming. The green energy needed by nature had begun to condense above and in front of the Yama Tree, indicating that once it caught up to Ye Zhongming, it would start attacking.
