Chapter 263.5: Ying City Faction Leaderboard

There was fear in his tone, and it is evident that those scenes left a deep impression on him.

“This, aren’t they using human life to get a three-star evolved?” Young Master Yun frowned and asked.

“Of course, if not?” Old Jia felt like his nephew was overreacting, “The wheel is so annoying. To evolve you need to kill lifeforms stronger than yourself. If you don’t use life to trade then how will you evolve? Those small factions want to trade lives but don’t have a chance!”

Ye Zhongming was calm, and all of these were normal to him. The resources of an entire squad would be focused on a handful of people. They would get strong and then give the others some benefits. Many people in the apocalypse understood, but no one could change it. If they left the team, they wouldn’t have a chance to benefit from it, so they could only stay and get exploited.

“There are around ten second-rate factions, for example, Wings of Justice, Bleeding Lamp Battle Squad, Teen Mercenary Group, Peace Country, etc. A few of them also have three-star evolved but are weaker. For example, Winngs of Justice. They were a strong faction before, but they lost many members when killing level three mutated lifeforms, so even if they had three-star evolved, their core is too weak.”

“There are even more third-rate factions, so there is no point talking about them. Oh, right, there is a list regarding the strength of survivors. Do you want to listen?”

He didn’t care about their reaction and continued, “First is Renxing Battle Squad, second is Star Beauty Company, Third is Fierce Roar Battle Squad, fourth is Olive Green Assault Team, fifth is Wings of Justice, sixth is Peace Country, seventh is Teen Mercenary Group. Eight is Ying City Jail, the Ninth is Bleeding Lamp, and the tenth is Burning Rage Squad. Hehe, that is the one your father and I are in. 11th… 31st is Sha Sha’s Battle Squad. 32nd…”

Old Jia listed the top 40 with one breath.

Young Master Yun asked, “Ying City Jail? That isn’t in Ying City, right?”

Old Jia nodded, “It is not within the city but within the Ying City range. People say they are strong, which is why they are included. Many factions around are ranked too. For example, there is Cloud Peak, a famous tourist location we visited before. I heard that the group there is also strong and ranked 41st.”

Young Master Yun looked at the boss and couldn’t hold his laughter, “Cloud Peak 41st? Shasha’s Battle Squad 31st?”

Old Jia was stunned and thought, “Those are the rankings. It refreshes every half a month, and there are two more days to the new refresh.”

Ye Zhongming felt connected with the rankings as such rankings appeared in all sorts of regions in the past. Mainly when survivors got more connected, everyone discussed and paid attention to these rankings.

In his last life, Ye Zhongming's squad was ranked within the top ten. Ye Zhongming was also around 100 in the ranged strength rankings and was quite strong.

But he wasn't a big figure in the province and even in the country.

But the faction he was in before hadn’t appeared yet.

Moreover, Ye Zhongming heard that there was a solo strength leaderboard in his last life that only nine-star evolved and super factions could enter. But it only spread among the higher levels, so Ye Zhongming was unsure of the exact rankings.

On the other side, Leader Lin ate the food and shouted good night to Old Jia before he fell asleep.

Young Master Yun could tell the position his uncle had in this team.

No wonder. Old Jia was weak and didn’t have weapons. He would get chased away if he didn’t do the team's tiring jobs.

Old Jia stood helplessly and walked to the side of the roof to be the sentry. He didn’t dare to talk to his nephew anymore. If the leader saw it, he would get beaten up.

Ye Zhongming told Old Jia to nap for the next half of the night. Young Master Yun’s uncle wasn’t young anymore and wasn’t evolved. He had to do many tough jobs, so his body wasn’t in a good state. Seeing Ye Zhongming choose to take over his job, he was grateful and thanked him profusely.

Ye Zhongming sneakily shoved a beef jerky into his hands. This was level two mutated boar meat, and Old Jia didn’t recognize it. But after eating, his body would become much stronger.

Old Jia was even more grateful to Ye Zhongming and felt that Little Yun had made a good friend.

Young Master Yun lay on the side. He was awake when Ye Zhongming got up.

They didn't face any dangers at night. In the morning, Leader Lin told them to find food again. This time Ye Zhongming took out two bags of bread, which delighted them.

Old Jia’s team belonged to Burning Fury Battle Squad, and they came out to find higher-level lifeforms. They didn’t need to fight and just had to note the exact location. Hunting was the role of the elite squad. The other job they had was to gather level-one demon crystals.

The team moved around nearby in the morning and recorded the level-two mutated lifeforms before heading back to the base. At 2 pm, they returned to the base.

As the tenth-ranked team in Ying City, their camp was in a leisure square within an old district. The squad used bricks, cement, or abandoned cars to block the buildings. Each window was blocked too. They used the buildings as walls to build a decently stable base.

They climbed a short wall using a firefighter ladder and entered the base. The standard apocalypse base entered their eyes.

Many people greeted Leader Lin and asked about what they gained during the trip.

Apart from three elite teams, they had close to 20 average teams. Each team had a competitive relationship. Warm greetings contained an intent to probe.

Ye Zhongming followed the team, and as a foreign face, he attracted attention. Leader Lin said he was there to find someone, so others stopped asking. Such a thing often happened with the other factions too. Many people started to find their relatives once they could survive well.

But Ye Zhongming felt weird about the group; some were furious and uneasy.

Someone walked out from the center of the camp. It was a group of five, and that caused the camp to quieten down.

“Who is this?” Leader Lin looked at the outsider that walked out from the higher-class resting area.

“Jill Warrior Squad that is ranked 23rd.”

“What is this bunch of madman doing here?” Leader Lin had a look of fear, and he shuddered.

“What else? For that invitation card. Since the prince got in trouble, everyone discovered our Burning Rage situation. Our strength dropped, and we will be outside the top 30 when the rankings refresh. They were fortunate and found a three-star potion so their rankings would rise. They think they have the right to go to the trading event. They didn’t dare to touch the other top 20 factions, so they are here to bully us.”

That person was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Jill Warrior Squad was stronger than them, and that was a fact.

Old Jia took a look, but as a normal survivor, he had no right to join in. He told Leader Lin he would bring his nephew to find his father, so he chased them away like flies.

Ye Zhongming looked at the proud Jill Warrior Squad and followed Young Master Yun and Old Jia away.

“Little Yun, your father and I live in the warehouse ahead. Although conditions aren’t good but at least it is safe. Your father and I take turns hunting; if lucky, we can get a crystal to trade for many days of food. Our life here is quite good.”

The three of them walked and arrived at the warehouse. They could see many gathered at the entrance from afar, and people were cursing.

“Damn, do you still think you are as powerful as before? Let me tell you, you are nothing! I take a bottle of water, and you dare to spit at me? Are you tired of living? Speak, will you kneel?”

“Kneel your head!”

A man shouted. Young Master Yun was stunned when he heard that voice, and his face flushed red. He charged toward that voice.

Ye Zhongming squinted and followed behind slowly.
