The burly man leading the trio saw a soldier in military uniform crashing towards him. He snorted coldly, suddenly stretching out his hands. His already muscular body expanded even further, his legs bending and his torso arching slightly, making him look like a heavy tank.
Ye Zhongming's pupils contracted. A strength-type evolver?!
The spear-wielding man from earlier was a professional, and now this burly man was also a professional, and a very special and powerful strength-type professional at that!
It seemed these three not only encountered a one-star roulette to become one-star evolvers but also had the incredible luck to run into a Tricolor Roulette!
Suddenly, a rumor from his past life echoed in Ye Zhongming's mind. It seemed that the city he stepped out from had such a powerful trio, but they had soon vanished without a trace—whether they had died or not was unknown.
But what happened afterward wasn't important; it had nothing to do with Ye Zhongming. These three were at least a huge threat to him right now.
Fortunately, there was this suddenly appearing soldier.
A two-star evolver, Ye Zhongming would never misjudge that.
If someone had become an evolver and even possessed a profession, Ye Zhongming wouldn't be surprised at all. The number of such individuals was unpredictable; there could be one lurking anywhere. The chances of humans encountering them were very high, and as long as one saw the roulette, they would understand how to use the driving device above it. With a bold and careful approach, they could rapidly become strong in a short time.
If zombies or monsters evolved to level three, four, or even higher, Ye Zhongming would be surprised, but he would also believe it. The evolution of these non-human beings was fundamentally about the accumulation of energy. If they could devour and absorb a massive amount of energy in a short time, rapid evolution was possible. Moreover, some monsters emerged from desolate lands, places that even a decade into the apocalypse still held mysteries that no one could unravel. Humans knew very little about the desolate lands aside from the fact that some locations were attacked by golden holy light. It wouldn't be surprising if there were level nine monsters present.
However, a human becoming a two-star evolver in less than thirty hours since the apocalypse began was something Ye Zhongming couldn't believe, even feeling a hint of jealousy.
He was a reborn person, aware of many exact locations of the roulettes, knowing the color of magic crystals represented levels, understanding their characteristics and weaknesses, knowing how to become strong, and how to survive better...
Yet, he was still just a one-star evolver. If it weren't for his incredible luck, he might not even be a professional. But why did it happen that someone else became a two-star evolver? Did they rotate the level two roulette? Even if he knew where the level two roulette was, were there so many level two mutated beings available to kill? Even if there were so many mutated beings to hunt, could he actually defeat them?
These enormous doubts left Ye Zhongming puzzled, and his ten years of experience and accumulated knowledge in the apocalypse provided him no help.
While Ye Zhongming was guessing, the two-star evolver soldier had already collided with the burly man.
The burly man was a one-star evolver. If he didn't have a profession or even if he had a profession that wasn't strength-type, he definitely wouldn't be able to confront a two-star evolver. The gap in strength between one-star and two-star evolvers was insurmountable.
However, the strength-type profession was very unique; it allowed professionals to possess immense strength and a robust physique. In terms of pure strength, they could challenge opponents of higher levels.
The soldier had probably become a two-star evolver within the day, leading to his overconfidence in strength. He chose to charge directly, which played right into the burly man's thoughts. The burly man assumed a stance and used one of the strength-type profession skills—Bear Hug.
