"There will be additional updates tomorrow."
Ying City hasn’t been this lively in a long time. The last time was when Boss Ye took a portion of the elites away.
Many people were excited, naturally because they were selected to participate in the assault on the desolate land.
Benefiting from the return of those who went to the Inner City last time, many had become strong and wealthy, making others envious.
It has become a consensus that following Boss Ye into battle would lead to riches. Although this time it wasn’t Boss Ye leading the team, it was still a rare large-scale operation from Cloud Summit Villa, and the leader was the renowned 'Sister Lei'! That was almost equivalent to Boss Ye personally taking charge.
Thus, the news spread, and even though they were headed to the terrifying desolate land, the number of applicants was overwhelming.
Everyone was not foolish; if Cloud Summit didn’t have confidence, would they even consider going?
This was clearly a lucrative opportunity.
As for death, haha, what job doesn’t involve death? Just going out to pee could lead to a zombie biting off a limb!
The registration selection expanded repeatedly until the final expedition. Ultimately, including the three thousand from Cloud Summit, the total number of evolvers reached twenty thousand!
However, compared to the overall number of evolvers in Ying City, this was still quite small, as most still did not qualify for the expedition.
Amidst a sea of sighs and envy, the team departed from Ying City in four batches.
Among the onlookers, two ordinary-looking individuals with average evolution levels stood watching the Cloud Summit warriors silently leave, their eyes shimmering with envy and greed.
At least in their eyes, the warriors of Cloud Summit were the most well-equipped force they had ever seen; here, silver gear seemed common, while in other places, white gear was still fiercely contested.
“Xia Lei is in the team.”
“Park Soo-young is also present.”
The two recognized the two most notable individuals on the list. They knew very well that these two were the true core figures of Cloud Summit Villa, one being Ye Zhongming’s woman, the second-in-command, and the brain behind him.
The other was a powerful healer, known for her numerous single-target and group healing skills, envied by all factions.
“It seems they are serious about this.”
One of them, slightly taller, whispered.
The other looked on for a while but then expressed some doubt.
“Did you see any other core members? Little Tiger, Mo Ye, Tong Hu, Tang Tian, and others are not present!”
“What are you worried about?” The taller person did not shift his gaze but spoke.
“Worried this is a trap.”
“What? You plan to ambush them on the way? Although there are fewer core members, the combat power of Cloud Summit is not low. Plus, with over ten thousand from Ying City, do you think you can take down these twenty thousand?”
“Haha, just joking, we don’t have that plan.”
“Then what does it matter if there are a few core members?”
“True, oh right, don’t you find the zombies particularly quiet today?”
“Scared after being beaten. You know how the zombies are in Ying City; they are quite dull.”
The two chuckled for a moment before ending their conversation, but there was an inexplicable expression in their eyes. As the expedition team moved farther away, they exchanged simple greetings and left.
At the same time, the news of Cloud Summit’s expedition spread from Ying City to many unknown places.
On the tall walls of the villa, Liu Zhenghong toyed with a vial containing Yahiko Little Snake, casually turning it.
………………………………………………………………………………
The atmosphere that had been cheerful due to Ye Zhongming's arrival suddenly became oppressive with the arrival of a team from the Temple of Dawn's spirit eagle legion.
Ultimately, it was Miya's words that eased everyone's discomfort a bit.
“Aren’t we supposed to follow Ye to his world? If that’s the case, the war doesn’t really affect us much, right?”
