Chapter 339: Slow death
Ye Zhongming looked at the busy Cloud Peak door. The darkness in his eyes slowly disappeared.
A close-to-perfect enemy slaying operation changed because of the appearance of the level-six Yangos.
This might be a fatal mistake for Ye Zhongming.
On that day, when he faced the level-six evil dragon and the flames that covered the earth, Ye Zhongming used the only thing he could use to save his own life.
He activated the secret realm key from the Trading Event to send Yangos into the secret realm. He used the Rainbow Gate from Bei Feng to teleport out of the attack range of Yangos.
But Ye Zhongming paid the price.
He would be teleported into the Secret Realm. As he activated the key, he had ten days to prepare.
What was the secret realm, what was inside, what would he face? Ye Zhongming didn’t know anything. He only knew that it was dangerous, more dangerous than the dungeon.
Ye Zhongming had no choice but to believe what people discussed when discussing the Secret Realm in his last life. Moreover, Bai Feng mentioned that most faction members who opened the realm had died, and only one got out.
Ye Zhongming felt he didn’t have a high chance of surviving even with his four-star evolved strength.
But in that situation, he had no better option. He could only choose this slow death.
At least he had a few more days. Even... He didn’t have much hope.
Some people looked at Ye Zhongming. Then, more of them cheered.
Their leader was back.
..........................................................................................
“Zhongming, look at their expressions. Young Master Yun and Boss Bai Feng have told everyone what you did in Ying City. When resting at night, your adventures are discussion topics. You are everyone’s idol.”
Lu Yi laughed, and he was in a good mood.
Le Dayuan brought people to save Cloud Peak. After scaring off Ying City Jail and Lou Family, Cloud Peak’s people discovered Le Dayuan’s gun could only fire once. Which meant that it was useless after he killed two Lou Family warriors. As for the other Crystal Grenade, it was an empty shell.
Many core members were terrified when they found out. If Ying City Jail and Lou Family were more determined, the outcome would be catastrophic.
It would take two days before Xia Lei found Ye Zhongming and returned. They would not be able to save them. From that, one could tell how dangerous that situation was.
“What happened? Why is Yellow Ball in such a state?”
Liang Chuyin and Park Xiuying were around Yellow Ball, whose injuries improved, but it was still naked, and its skin was scorched. They ‘blamed’ Ye Zhongming and used Cleansing Dew on it. Yellow Ball rolled around and faced upwards in enjoyment.
Ye Zhongming laughed. He looked at Xia Lei and Mo Ye, who had turned towards him and Sister Rong, Little Tiger, Candy, etc. He knew that they were asking him what he had faced.
“You should have been back yesterday; why were you later than us by a day?”
Xia Lei’s voice was weak. She paid a huge price to kill Abyss Mountain.
She got a heal before she searched for Ye Zhongming. She couldn’t find him and rushed back to Cloud Peak. After healing up, her injuries were still not fully recovered.
“Oh, I...‘ Killing intent appeared in his eyes, “Went to kill some people.”

Everyone was stunned and didn’t know who Ye Zhongming killed, but no one asked. Since Ye Zhongming did it, he had his reason. Everyone fully trusted him.
Ye Zhongming used a day leading Yellow Ball and Red Hair and killing all the factions on the Glory Army's side.
No one could block two level-five and one person close to level-five. Even if Yellow Ball was injured, it was still very strong.
Yesterday, Ye Zhongming had killed hundreds or even a thousand humans.
But he didn’t regret it. He thought about the remaining seven days and felt time wasn’t enough.
Ye Zhongming’s return added the heart back to Cloud Peak. The entire Cloud Peak became active. They were attacked a few days ago and slowly walked out of the sadness covering the area.
He met with the core members and summarised everything that had happened. Of course, many questions appeared. Ye Zhongming gave suggestions on how to solve those, and as for those that couldn’t be solved, Ye Zhongming told them his thoughts. His detailed replies shocked many of the core members.
After this battle, Cloud Peak’s core strength didn't suffer much losses. Apart from Xia Bai, whom they didn’t have any news of, they mostly lost basic members. Apart from those who died, those who betrayed them left with Ying City Jail and the alliance army. This made them consider taking in people.
“There are some remaining two-star potions; give it to those who performed well.” Ye Zhongming said, “We don’t lack one-star potions, so we can take in ordinary people and nurture the better ones. As for evolved, we need to think carefully.”
Many people saw how solemn Ye Zhongming was, and they felt like something would happen. But it was just a feeling.
“There are a few things I need everyone to do.”
The core members sat up straight and listened in. They knew that their boss was about to give orders.
“First, send people to contact the Ying City factions and tell them to find news about Soul Merchant and Glory Army; when needed, you can give rewards.”
“Second, form the sixth team, Yuan Sheng as captain. Form the Research Police Team, Xia Lei is in charge, and Tang Tian is deputy to protect Sister Liu and Worker Le.”
“Third, send the first and second teams out and let Yellow Ball follow. Go to Yingchun County and pull all the grain back. Wipe out the zombies and mutated lifeforms there, too.”
Mo ye and Little Tiger nodded right away. They were much stronger. They could crush it with Yellow Ball’s help even if the two-headed demon were there.
“Fourth, third, and sixth teams clear the nearby village and find survivors, bring them back. Quicken the facility building, especially the walls.”
“Fifth, Uncle Lu, your 4th team, and you go to the factions. I have some equipment; trade them for crystals. Sister Rong, your fifth team is in charge of defending the base and monitoring the work.”
“I am going to leave and be back in a few days. When I am not here, Xia Lei is in charge; Mo Ye is the support.”
Ye Zhongming stood up, “Get to work. Worker Le, Sister Liu, go with me to see Boss Bai Feng.”
