The silent battle team was advancing not far from Ying City, and the atmosphere in the group was somewhat oppressive.
In the middle of the team, thousands of people were being forced to march. If anyone showed even the slightest resistance, they would be mercilessly beaten, or even killed on the spot.
At the very front of the group walked a woman with an icy expression, none other than Xia Lei, the second-in-command of Cloud Summit.
The closer they got to Cloud Summit, the more coldness radiated from Ye Zhongming’s woman, to the point where even Park Soo-young no longer dared to talk to her.
Although everyone was silent, their mood lightened somewhat because news had arrived a few days ago that Cloud Summit Villa had not fallen!
Now, they were very close to Ying City, and today marked the day when new information from Cloud Summit was expected!
Amidst the eager gazes of everyone, a person suddenly appeared in the midst of the team, running up to Xia Lei and handing her a note before darting back into the wilderness. In just a few moments, he disappeared from sight.
The people of Cloud Summit knew that this was an intelligence officer from Avoidance. Their combat ability might not be high, but they possessed unique and mysterious professions and skills.
When Xia Lei opened the note, she came to life, and the Cloud Summit warriors behind her clearly felt the intense aura emanating from their big sister boss!
"Show this to everyone!"
In stark contrast to her previous mysterious demeanor, Xia Lei directly ordered someone to read out the contents of the note to everyone. As soon as the Cloud Summit warriors heard it, they erupted with excitement!
The boss had returned to Cloud Summit! And he had brought back many, many warriors! Cloud Summit was still under siege!
Just a little while ago, Cloud Summit had launched a full-scale attack, and now the battle had split into two fronts, fiercely fighting against the mutated beings!
This news stirred the blood of the Cloud Summit warriors!
However, soon the last piece of information was a speculation, as even the Avoidance personnel could not enter the heart of the battlefield. So this information came with the intelligence officer's own subjective judgment of the situation.
The assessment was divided into two parts. The first part stated that although Cloud Summit Villa had launched a counterattack, they were still vastly outnumbered by the mutated beings, and it was estimated they would be at a disadvantage in the ongoing battle.
This did not bode well for the outcome of the battle. Although it was just one analyst's opinion, it reflected an unoptimistic view on the fight, which cooled the excitement of the Cloud Summit warriors.
However, the latter half of this information ignited their spirits completely.
"The boss killed the strongest eighth-level corpse king but is suspected to be injured. He is currently being protected by Xia Bai's people and is retreating towards the city, but is blocked beneath the city walls. The escort team inside the city cannot approach for the time being! It is advised that Park Soo-young quickly return to Cloud Summit, just in case."
What?!
Despite Ye Zhongming often being absent from Cloud Summit Villa, it did not diminish his lofty position in the hearts of the Cloud Summit people. In the Sea King Disk battle in the Inner City, at the Yama Tree battle in Linhai's Ghost City, during the Monster battle in the Resistance Zone...
Time and again, almost unbelievable feats were conveyed by those who had returned, each mention thrilling the audience. In the entertainment-starved apocalypse, this became the greatest joy for the Cloud Summit warriors during their downtime. Those who had participated in certain battles were the most welcomed, and when they had free time, they would invariably gather around these individuals to hear their thrilling tales.
This process inevitably turned Ye Zhongming into a legend, facing eighth-level life forms alone, powerfully slaying countless enemies, and standing firm against the largest human forces...
