After planting the Roselle Cedar, Ye Zhongming didn’t return to the apartment but to where he did the trade.
This time, he didn’t search for the merchant.
There was no difference between night and day underground. People were used to such a life and slept when they were tired.
Every day, people spend most of their time sleeping. That could allow them to forget many things like hunger, pain, despair…
So when he looked around at this abandoned place, it was similar to when he came.
The stench lingered around the area, but he didn’t care. He looked quietly, observing and listening.
There were cries from that side, and then there were sounds of people having sex. It got intense. Some guys were moaning, and then a few thin guys walked out from a tent, cursing. One of them wiped off the blood on his face, and the other two were holding something, but he couldn’t tell as it was too dark.
There were still sounds in the tent, but it was very weak.
The noise here attracted some attention, but those gazes were numb, and some gloated. No one stepped out to take a look. When the three guys left, those people returned to their zombie-like state.
Ye Zhongming walked over silently and looked through the holes in the tent. He opened a curtain and walked in.
The suppressed cries in the room were broken by this person’s entrance.
“Scram, scram, you already took the thing. What else do you want? Do us? Come, as long as you aren’t afraid of getting sick! You scum!”
A hoarse voice shouted, but her voice didn’t spread far. She had long hair and was wearing a dress that was so dirty that you couldn’t tell its original design. Under the dress were her thin legs that were covered in dirt, like her face that was covered by her hair.

Behind this girl, who wasn’t tall, was a bed covered in clothing. Of course, that is if one could call putting a few wooden pieces together a bed.
On top of it lay a girl covered in an oily blanket. That decomposing smell was mainly from her body.
Ye Zhongming’s eyes lit up. He saw that her head was bleeding. It should be from those three guys.
Using the weak light and his good eyesight, Ye Zhongming could see that their dirty faces were the same.
Twins?
This was unexpected.
Maybe Ye Zhongming’s silence caused the little girl to feel weird. She raised her head and saw the guy standing at the door.
Although he was looking down at her like the three guys, this guy didn’t look greedy. He was cold.
“You…”
She was unsure if she knew this guy, slightly older than her, but she had never seen him in the camp.
“Are you still conscious? Can you understand my words?”
Ye Zhongming ignored the girl sitting down and walked to the other one who was lying there and on the verge of death.
That girl tried her best to open her eyes. Her eyes moved as she looked at Ye Zhongming. She did understand what he said.
He removed the blanket to check her body. The girl sitting there wanted to stop him, but her arms were weak. Moreover, she was normal, so she could only call for her sister powerlessly.
“Your injuries are very heavy, and you are about to die.”
Ye Zhongming stared at the badly injured girl while saying. She saw those beautiful eyes dim when she heard his words.
“I can give you the chance to live another way. Do you want it?”
Hearing Ye Zhongming say that, the younger sister stopped pushing him and looked at him in a daze.
“I have an ability that can turn you into a puppet… You won’t have your own consciousness, but that is not certain. But your body will exist, and you will fight for me. Are you willing?”
He didn’t beat around the bush. He knew that the twins couldn’t last for long. If not for her already being a one-star evolved, she would have died from her heavy injuries.
Ye Zhongming’s goal for coming here was to find a base to craft the silver zombie!
Of course, there won’t be five-star evolved here, but after he studied the silver zombie recipe, he had an idea that might work.
He wasn’t confident, but he had to try. He needed enough helpers for his plan to succeed.
If it succeeded, then it would naturally be good. If he failed, it would just be a slight waste of potions. He could handle the loss.
The nose of the elder sister moved, and she raised a finger, pointing at her sister.
Ye Zhongming nodded, “No matter what, I will care for her and help her get strong.”
The elder sister smiled. Although it was just a twitch of her lips, her gaze was happy.

Ye Zhongming forced a recovery potion down her throat, and when the medicinal effects spread, he injected a two-star potion into her.
Her body moved, and her face was filled with pain. The young sister remained very quiet when she saw such scenes.
She recognized the two-star potion. She knew that the guy wasn't hurting her even if she didn’t know what he was about to do.
The sister knew that her sister was going to die.
The two-star evolution potion was quick, and the elder sister survived that stage. But Ye Zhongming knew that the injuries couldn’t be reversed and evolution potions were useless.
Ye Zhongming gave her another healing potion and injected the three-star potion. Then, another healing potion and four-star potion.
The young sister was stunned. The two of them were struggling to live and suffered wronging and torture to get one one-star potion. But her sister, who was about to die, was injected with a four-star potion.
The four-star evolution needed some time, and it was hard to say if a badly injured person could survive. Actually, Ye Zhongming was gambling.
He passed the younger sister three bottles, from one to three stars.
No matter if your sister can survive, these are yours.
Ye Zhongming watched as she became a three-star evolved.
He heard shouts and knew the time to head out was here. The elder sister relied on her strong mental strength to complete her four-star evolution.
Ye Zhongming looked at her injuries. The fatal area was still bloodied. He gave her another healing potion and a Burning Potion to help increase her vitality.
Finally, he injected a five-star potion.
“Take care of your sister, wait for me.”
He gave them food, water, and a white dagger before leaving.
