"Thank you to the friends who have recently rewarded and voted for the Roulette! I have also carefully read the comments in the sorrowful review section, and I will take the suggestions into account. However, please don’t flood the posts, brothers; it's better to concentrate on one or two threads."
In the city within Peak Pass, there is no distinction between day and night; there are lights providing sufficient illumination every moment. This made Ye Zhongming admire the abundance of resources and the number and quality of professionals here.
Cloud Summit Villa can currently only guarantee the power supply for two laboratories: magic crystal weapons and gene warriors. Other places, including Ye Zhongming's residence, do not qualify for power supply around the clock.
There, no one understood how to install large generator sets, let alone the high-end power supply system evidently supplied by small power plants.
On the way to the auction, Ye Zhongming walked side by side with Wen Zhong, discussing seemingly trivial topics, which were actually tests of each other’s intentions, causing the internet celebrity accompanying Ye Zhongming to occasionally curl her lips in disdain.
Behind Ye Zhongming were Xia Bai and Zhao Xingmei, while behind Wen Zhong were Guangyao and Xiao Xiu.
"The reason this joint meeting is special is that the Resistance Zone is starting to accept external forces. This is a progress; at least I think it is a progress," Wen Zhong suddenly said to Ye Zhongming, observing the wartime style evident on both sides of the street.
Ye Zhongming responded with an "mmm," not continuing the conversation.
Everyone knew the origins of the Resistance Zone, and the Five Key Alliance had prepared for the apocalypse early on. These individuals were once in high positions, and Ye Zhongming knew that apart from them, there were other forces that were aware of the apocalypse, just like the Resistance Zone, and they had gained significant advantages in the early stages.
For example, the Radiant World Army.
However, they underestimated the survivors' ability to adapt to disasters, or rather, the emergence of the Roulette provided ordinary people with more opportunities and greater development space. Although many of these people struggled in the early apocalypse, gradually, many began to shine; they might not yet reach the level of the Resistance Zone or the Radiant World Army, but the momentum was already there.
Ye Zhongming was a reborn person; he knew well what the world would look like ten years after the apocalypse. By then, there would be countless forces, and most of them would not have organizations like the Resistance Zone backing them.
"This time, Areas C and G brought several external forces, all quite powerful. Area S also brought some, but their situation is somewhat special and complicated, so we can temporarily set that aside. As for our Area T, we only invited you," Wen Zhong pointed out.
Ye Zhongming realized that Wen Zhong had bypassed the tentative topics and started discussing very important matters—issues that were even more crucial than their previous transactions.
"I know you must have many doubts. Every person who reaches your level has such doubts. I can't answer all of them, but I know the answers to most. However, these matters cannot be discussed casually. There is an agreement among the Five Key Alliance regarding the interests of the entire alliance, which naturally includes mine. So until you formally join us, many things cannot be said."
Ye Zhongming was not surprised that Wen Zhong guessed what he was thinking so easily. To become the leader of one of China's four major Resistance Zones, his talents and experience in this aspect were not something an ordinary person like Ye Zhongming, who had previously never stepped into society, could compare to.
Ye Zhongming had been holding back his questions, waiting for the right moment, yet Wen Zhong directly guessed it.
"When others see you flexing your muscles, they think it’s a warning to those with ill intentions towards the Resistance Zone, meant for your own safety. But I know that’s not your entire intention," Wen Zhong continued, his volume well-controlled so that Ye Zhongming could hear him clearly while surrounding noise masked their conversation from others.
