“The mutated life forms surrounding the city have dispersed a bit, but the numbers are not significant. Little Tiger and the others returned to the outside of the city after completing their evolution, and they have successively transported fifty thousand warriors through the rainbow gate. The scattered mutant life forms will be surrounded and annihilated at a farther distance.”
Mo Ye remained in the villa, having taken full command from Liu Zhenghong, who returned to the laboratory. This time, Ye Zhongming brought back a lot of materials, and the flame tiger project carried out an attack on the divine hall. Although they only obtained a fraction of the experimental data and results, it was still sufficient for Cloud Summit to conduct research for a while.
“What about Dr. He?” Ye Zhongming asked, frowning slightly.
This guy played a role as an internal supporter during the assault on the divine hall, but everything was orchestrated by Xia Lei. Ye Zhongming was not clear about the specifics of the agreement between the two sides until Xia Lei returned. However, Dr. He was not just a researcher; he was also an extremely terrifying powerhouse who had turned himself into a monster. To say that he wasn’t worried about this person would be a lie.
“He's also in Dr. Liu's laboratory, but King Ling Kun is watching over him there.”
This arrangement was made before Ye Zhongming underwent evolution, and this eighth-level king zun still gave some face. Of course, Ye Zhongming also offered a piece of green battle armor as thanks.
Seeing that Ye Zhongming had no further comments, Mo Ye continued, “The siege continues these days, but we currently have more defenders and a higher density of defense, so there is basically no threat. We even repaired several damaged sections of the city wall.”
With two hundred thousand soldiers gathered at Cloud Summit, plus over ten thousand who were originally there, the villa was now bustling with people. The city walls could only accommodate six thousand people at most without affecting the battle, so now all soldiers would only have the opportunity to fight every few days, and with just a few hours of defense required.
Short battle times, ample manpower, and naturally abundant energy led to not only a very solid defense at Cloud Summit, but also a significant decrease in casualty rates.
This made everyone’s mindset greatly different. Although Ye Zhongming and the senior officials of Cloud Summit did not express any opinions, everyone was vaguely looking forward to the start of a counterattack.
After all, the presence of mutated life forms outside represented danger when they were alive, but once dead, it meant wealth.
“Also, regarding what you said about entering the secret realm for battle after a while, I have already had people collect combat techniques from the posthumous children for our warriors to choose from, but the effect is not great. We currently only have six techniques in hand.”
“Are there any soul techniques apart from the great thousand soul refining technique?”
For this question, Ye Zhongming was not surprised. Combat techniques were essentially the last resort of the posthumous children, and even if Cloud Summit offered a high price, only some small and medium tribes were willing to exchange, which was expected.
“No.”
Hearing this response, Ye Zhongming felt slightly disappointed. Because he was able to create soul artifacts, he hoped to have more of his subordinates using such equipment. However, to use soul artifacts, one needed to practice soul techniques, and they needed to be practiced to a relatively advanced level. He knew that compared to soul techniques, which had less obvious effects, everyone preferred to cultivate combat techniques that showed immediate results. However, if there were multiple options, he believed some people would still choose to cultivate soul techniques, but unfortunately, there was only the great thousand soul refining technique.
Of course, if human beings on Earth had enormous mental strength, they might also meet the conditions, but at the current Cloud Summit, considering both methods, it was estimated that only three people had hope of using soul artifacts in the future.
