Mornings in the apocalypse were very silent, making one feel like they were the only ones left.
At the stime, the first sun and fresh air made one look forward.
At this moment, one could feel hope for the apocalypse.
People in the camp weren’t asleep. The sneak attack from the Death King Tree made everyone nervous.
Although everyone saw the Death King Tree being injured, shedding its skin and running with its dimmed demon crystal, its sneak attack made everyone realize that an injured level-eight lifeform was still level-eight!
Last night, after being attacked, everyone searched for it. They even dug down, but they couldn’t see any signs.
Sneak attacks Ye Zhongming, killing someone and disappearing.
A silent and quick strike!
The relaxed team was instantly nervous.
Zhao Xingmei led Ying City Alliance’s 1500. As the top of Ying City, she wanted to return to Ying City, but Ye Zhongming knew that he would have to network during the event. He was a university student during peacetand wasn’t good with this. Lu Yi, who was in charge of relations, wasn’t here, and Mo Ye and Xia Lei brought people back to Cloud Peak. Ah Yang and Ya Tian weren’t mature. The influencer was hot-tempered and would fight when she was unhappy. As for Xia Bai, Ye Zhongming didn’t even consider her.
So, only Zhao Xingmei, who had led a company during peacetime, had the ability. She was the best choice, so she remained and led this team of 1500, whose average level was level three.

Zhao Xingmei saw Ye Zhongming sitting on a stone, studying the Death King Tree’s body, and smiled.
“It is useless; they won’t be able to find it.”
Ye Zhongming waved and kept the part in his space. He jumped off the stone and told Ah Yang and the others to pack up and prepare to leave.
“You don’t look worried at all.”
Ye Zhongming looked at the team pack up and the confused Zhao Xingmei; he explained, “Why do we have to worry about a Death King Tree that can only sneak attack us?”
Zhao Xingmei was smart and understood immediately.
If the Death King Tree were half recovered, it wouldn’t bother to hide. It would just attack and take revenge. Now that it was sneak attacking, it was obviously injured. It didn’t dare to appear in front of them. Since that was the case, they didn’t have to worry much.
The two who were killed last night were those who ran far out to head to the toilet. The Death King Tree could only sneak attack such survivors, which meant it was far from recovered.
“Let’s go. Get more materials, and each person's silver equipment goal will be reached.”
“Final goal?”
“... Final goal is two per person.”
Zhao Xingmei was delighted. These were free, and 1500 Ying City people could get two. Only Ye Zhongming was rich enough to do that.
Of course, it wasn’t for free. Based on the agreement, they were going to risk their lives.
There was something he didn’t tell them as he was afraid they would relax. Cloud Peak had dug the few tentacles that sneak attacked Liang Chuyin and him. Those tentacles were already broken off from the main body and weren’t as sharp as before.
Ye Zhongming tossed them into the Gate of Sacrifice and guessed that Death King Tree didn’t know why its new branches would break off. It was gambling when it sneak attacked.
It seemed like the Death King Tree wasn’t in a good state.
But Ye Zhongming was curious. Why was it asking for trouble since it wasn’t in a good state? For pride? It wouldn’t be so stupid, right?
After spending another ten days, Sharp Peak was nearby.
Sharp Peak was at a strategic location. It was where two mountain ranges connected. A famous plain connected the two, and it was the core economic region. If this were the warring states period, people would fight for it.
Ye Zhongming looked at the journey and knew he had to speed up. He would arrive at the mountain at night, but the night was not the battlefield of humans. So he probably wouldn’t be able to enter. Ye Zhongming decided to rest in the afternoon and head out in the morning to arrive in the afternoon.
As it was still early, many went out to hunt. But the groups weren’t less than 200. This was to prevent the Death King Tree, who had disappeared for ten days, from reappearing.
Cloud Peak’s warriors remained in the camp to protect Ye Zhongming. Ying City was in charge of food.
The Death King Tree’s shadow covered the team all this while. Liang Chuyin didn’t dare be too close to Ye Zhongming. It made her hot-tempered, so she went for a walk with Zhao Xingmei.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWalking in the apocalypse meant that she went to kill.
The accident occurred then.
Ye Zhongming placed Ya Tian, who was sleeping on his legs, into the arms of the silver zombie sister when he heard rushed footsteps.
He frowned and stood up. He walked out and saw Ah Yang’s frenzied expression.
“What happened?”
“Brother Ye, Sister Chuyin, and Sister Xingmei are fighting!”
In the apocalypse, fights between survivors were normal. Most conflicts would have deaths. This was unimaginable during peacetbut common in the apocalypse.
Each person was hot-tempered and craved blood. They vented their emotions, which, along with their strong bodies, made their tempers bad.
But for Ah Yang to inform Ye Zhongming meant that the matter wasn’t small. It concerned his woman. He waved his hand and told Ah Yang to lead. At the stime, he told him to explain the situation.
Ye Zhongming was shocked when he heard what happened.
“The ones that have a conflict with us are from the Resistance Zone?”
“En.” Ah Yang was sure, “Their uniform guns and discipline, it is definitely them.”
“Do you know the reason?”
“Because… Kill stealing.”
