In that instant, there was a moment of silence on the entire wall of Cloud Summit.
Everyone knew what those words meant.
To put it simply, it was saying, "We agreed beforehand, let's leave now."
Many warriors showed disbelief in their eyes.
In recent days, they had personally witnessed Liu Zhenghong and Le Da Yuan, the two individuals at Cloud Summit Villa who held positions just below Ye Zhongming, fighting alongside them. It was no exaggeration to say they had shared life and death together. Although everyone still took care of them, there were inevitable oversights during battles, and even standing here was extremely dangerous, let alone facing these mutated beings head-on!
Would such people abandon us?
The man who had just spoken from the helicopter smiled, but there was a cruel hint in that smile.
He said this on purpose.
From his perspective, the Cloud Summit was about to be breached. Anyone with sense would know how to choose. Moreover, the knowledge held by Liu Zhenghong and Le Da Yuan would allow them to be welcomed anywhere and receive maximum support and protection from any faction they joined.
These two would certainly board the helicopter and leave with him; no one would easily give up their precious lives.
Of course, to prevent any 'accidents', this man said those words to directly sever Liu Zhenghong and Le Da Yuan from Cloud Summit. Even if they wanted to stay, they couldn't. His words would prick the hearts of all the warriors from Cloud Summit Villa and Ying City present, and even if the wall held, they could never return.
Furthermore, the man was not lying; his faction indeed sent a letter to Liu Zhenghong.
“Sister Liu…”
“Master Le…”
Many people murmured, and with Xia Lei and the other higher-ups absent, it was these two who had become the backbone of Cloud Summit, supporting the fighting spirit of all the warriors here!
If they left, then… was there still a need to defend this place?
Even the mutated beings outside the city seemed to be paying attention to the choice of these two, and their attacks slowed down momentarily.
Le Da Yuan's eyes flashed with anger, and he swung his war knife forward, directly slicing through the soft ladder in front of him.
“Get lost!”
The father of magic crystal weapons, who had always had a good temper, roared at the helicopter in the sky. Anyone could tell that Master Le was truly angry.
The warriors on the wall were shaken, and their gazes towards Le Da Yuan immediately lost their doubts, filled once again with respect.
“Shoot down that noisy thing!”
Liu Zhenghong sneered, looking down on such people.
She was not like Le Da Yuan, who had genuinely been saved by Ye Zhongming and was deeply devoted to him and Cloud Summit, even willing to share its fate.
She had only been brought back by Ye Zhongming, but human feelings are ultimately tangible; as long as it hasn't reached a point of emotional desolation, people will always know good from bad, warmth from coldness.
This Red Creator, who had killed countless in her past life, had undergone significant changes in this life. Not only had she joined Cloud Summit early on to provide her with various research conditions, but Ye Zhongming had also subtly instilled in her more widely accepted academic concepts. She even obtained various levels of Evolution Potions and professional skills that aided her experiments without needing to hunt.
Liu Zhenghong was very clear that Ye Zhongming had done her a great favor. She didn't feel a strong sense of right and wrong, but she was aware of who treated her well and who didn't.
She would not betray Cloud Summit unless it was truly destroyed.
Moreover, she was not alone now; with a reliance in her life, even if she were to take a step back and not care about Cloud Summit or Ye Zhongming, she could not disregard the man beside her.
So her choice was the same as Le Da Yuan's.
If they were to die, they would die with a clear conscience.
The man in the plane was stunned; he did not expect these two to refuse so thoroughly, without even a hint of hesitation.
