Note From Developer: I’m a big fan of Chinese web novels, but I often came across great stories with poor translations. That’s why I started this website! My goal is to make this the best web novel translation site out there. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out on Discord or Instagram.

Many Cloud Summit People remember that on the day the villa was about to be breached, on a day that was originally gloomy, that person descended from the sky riding a golden floating ball.
That scene has been talked about for many years by some of the survivors.
Indeed, that figure held extraordinary significance for Cloud Summit Villa.
It was this person who single-handedly established Cloud Summit, developing it into a superpower in a way that never exploited his subordinates and instead compensated them.
At least in this region, no one could rival Cloud Summit.
The more the comparison was made, the more precious Ye Zhongming's leadership was highlighted.
Although everyone fought to the death, in this apocalypse, which faction's warriors weren't fighting to the death? But what did they gain from it? They could only keep a small portion for themselves, while the rest was exploited by various leaders, leaving them with very little.
But Cloud Summit was different. From Ye Zhongming to any captain-level figure, none would use any means to claim their comrades' gains; all magic crystals belonged to them, and only materials needed to be submitted.
But what did these materials turn into? Everyone was clear that these materials became the various equipment on their bodies.
Moreover, the value of this equipment far exceeded the value of the materials they submitted!
Every Cloud Summit warrior always believed that it was Boss Ye who continuously supported them, that this young man had given them the capital to survive in the apocalypse.
In their hearts, Ye Zhongming was not only a leader but also their provider, their savior, their friend, and their family.
This feeling would not change just because Ye Zhongming was often away from Cloud Summit.
Because the boss was away only to create better conditions for them.
As for those outside forces who jealously said that Ye Zhongming was buying people's hearts, they didn’t realize that his evolution level had not dropped. There were still many enemies!
The Cloud Summit People scoffed at such thoughts, and anyone who dared to speak out would be dealt with directly, no matter who they were.
Buy people's hearts? Then why didn’t your faction do the same? It didn’t hinder Boss Ye's own evolution level! That was because he was capable! If he weren't concerned about these people below, he would be even stronger now!
Many enemies? They didn’t even look into why these enemies became their enemies! Wasn’t it because they coveted everything Cloud Summit had, wanting to take it for themselves? If Boss Ye weren’t strong, could these things still belong to Cloud Summit? Would they be able to enjoy so many benefits?
Don’t underestimate the wisdom of these ordinary warriors; they understood the situation clearly.
Thus, they were willing to fight for Cloud Summit, willing to fight for Ye Zhongming, even if it meant dying, it would be a worthy death.
Because their families living in the residential area would survive, and their compensation would allow their loved ones to live for decades! Because this place was the only and final sanctuary in their eyes during the apocalypse; only here did they feel they were still somewhat human!
Outside, they saw beasts they never wanted to become!
If they could be human, who would want to be a beast!
So when Ye Zhongming appeared, they let out the roars that had been pent up for so long! They had wanted to shout for a long time; before, it was to vent their fear and resentment, but now, it was to welcome their boss, and… the new beginning!
Yes, even if only Ye Zhongming stepped out alone, these warriors still firmly believed that they were saved, that Cloud Summit Villa had held its ground, and that all the zombies and mutated beings below were not a problem!
“Sorry, I’m late,” Ye Zhongming said, and everyone heard him loud and clear.
“There was a traffic jam on the way.”
When others heard this, even those still battling monsters laughed heartily, only to find tears streaming down their faces as they laughed.
