Chapter 35: Should I take her as an underling?
A black figure dashed across the window and there was a loud thud downstairs. It sounded like a water bag had smashed down and broken apart.
Ye Zhongming didn’t need to look and knew that it was someone who suicide. That person might have lost all reason to live. Apart from dying, he couldn’t think about what he could do.
Maybe this method was cowardice but people who had been through the apocalypse would know that sometimes this was the right choice.
The expression of Mo Ye who was about to reply to him changed and she went to look down. The twisted male lay there and didn’t move at all. Dozens of meters out, a few zombies walked over slowly.
“Death can be a decent release, you must get used to it.” Ye Zhongming closed his eyes and said.
Mo Ye bit her teeth and some sadness appeared in her eyes. She looked at this human whose body would probably get eaten up by zombies even in death, her last bit of hope that the world could recover also disappeared.
“First question, you said that their smell and hearing are very sensitive so I don’t have to answer why you left the tennis court right away right?” Mo Ye leaned on the window and looked at Ye Zhongming. She was a little unhappy with her calmness but after adjusting her emotions, she started to answer the question.
“Second, those lizards should be someone’s pet or they came out from the zoo, if not why would they be in the city.”
Mo Ye thought about it as she replied, “Third, I think he should have ran to a safe place right? I don’t want to talk about such a person. As for the 4th, although I admit that you are strong but you shouldn’t be my match under this state, this… Yellow Ball is much weaker than those lizards. I am holding your blade so I don’t see how it could threaten me.”
She thought that her replies were good so the confidence of her own strength returned back to her face.
Ye Zhongming smiled in disdain and raised one finger, “Only your first answer was not bad, the rest are totally wrong.”
Seeing someone say that naturally she was unwilling to accept it. She crossed her arms and said, “Then you tell me where I was wrong.”
“The first question, apart from those that you said, there is something that you didn’t think about. The gunshot would attract more zombies but it would also attract humans.”
Mo Ye was stunned, “You said… Humans?”
Ye Zhongming nodded and pointed at the window, “The moonlight is nice today so we can see the school field. If you are lucky, you should be able to notice something.”
Mo ye didn’t believe and looked out through the window. Using the moonlight, she saw many zombies getting close to the tennis court. She continued to observe but didn’t see anything. Right when she wanted to turn back to mock the guy, she saw that there were a few people moving at a side of the court. They avoided the zombies as they moved and it was obvious that they were survivors.
There really were humans? Mo Ye was delighted. Honestly, her training always focused on teamwork and taught her the values of public service. Under such a situation, gathering more people should make things safer.
This was something that was really important during peacetime.
But this was the apocalypse, sometimes places with humans were much more dangerous than zombies.
Ye Zhongming thought back to those few people who were collecting the demon crystals. Those people obviously didn’t have good intentions toward him. If they heard the gunshot, they would definitely search.
“Don’t be happy, if you were there, they would have beaten you to death.” Ye Zhongming’s words turned her warmth cold. She wanted to argue but she thought back to how she was betrayed so she didn’t say a word.
Seeing that she wasn’t speaking, Ye Zhongming continued, “Second question. Those mutated lizards didn’t come from the zoo and they weren’t pets. They came from the school lab.”
“How do you know?”
“Their tails have a small number tag.”
Mo Ye was shocked. She had fought many times with those lizards but didn’t notice this detail. If what Ye Zhongming said was real, then his sense of observation was just sick.
“As for that guy that betrayed you, he didn’t leave. He hid in the ventilation shaft. When we left, he followed us a while and until we faced the first zombie did he turn back.”
“What?!” She opened her mouth and didn’t dare to believe that she didn’t know someone was following her.
Ye Zhongming scoffed coldly, “Your partner isn’t a normal person, he is very wary and smart. His movement is not bad, at least… Not worse than you. Moreover, he killed before.”
Ye Zhongming was sensitive to killing intent. That wasn’t a talent but experience. People who lived for more than a year could easily discern that. This would be a mark of danger and experience in the apocalypse.
For the strictly trained Mo Ye to not notice, that was enough to show his strength. Although he couldn’t hide from a one star evolved, but just one look and Ye Zhongming knew that he wasn’t normal. He was even more dangerous than Mo Ye. The killing energy that he gave off might not be something in the apocalypse but in peacetime it was quite thick which meant that he killed more than one person.
So his identity was clear. It was either he was a special forces soldier or he was a killer.
Be it his aura or actions, one couldn’t tell that he was in an organisation. So one could basically be sure that he was a criminal!
Only a silly girl like Mo Ye that had a strong sense of justice wouldn’t suspect a thing at all and be even cheated by these people such that she nearly lost her life.
Ye Zhongming waved towards Mo Ye who was still in shock to attract her attention. He then pointed at his legs. Mo Ye was sweating and saw the black hole of the gun staring at her. Since they entered, that gun had been pointing at her. If she tried anything bad towards him, she would have been shot in half by this weird gun.
“Beautiful, you have to remember that from today onwards, you won’t be fully safe. You need to be wary.” Ye Zhongming was really serious, “Unless you want to die.”
A red light shone on Mo Ye’s face. Only then did Ye Zhongming realise that she looked quite good.
In the past, Ye Zhongming was poor. Since he was lucky to get the love of the school's beauty Bai Sisi, he wasn’t attracted to anyone else.
But after reviving, be it Mu Xinfei or Liang Chuyin who stuck to him like glue. Even that stubborn Teacher Park, they were all beautiful. Mu Xinfei was a mature lady and had both looks and body. Online famous Liang Chuyin was a girl that everyone would want to go to bed with upon seeing her. Teacher Park was a smart beauty and was wearing spectacles. If she wore office attire, people would think about an office relationship…
As for Mo Ye, she had short hair. Her skin was healthy and red and her body was quite good. Altogether, it gave everyone a perfect feeling.
In a short night, he had met so many beauties which made his heart ripple but very quickly, he calmed himself down.
These women had nothing to do with him. Even if they did, that would be something in the future. At least for now, none of them won his trust. He was even disgusted with Liang Chuyin and Teacher Park.
Ye Zhongming was used to judge people with apocalypse standards. The two people he had disgust for were burdens, apart from dragging him down there was nothing they could do. Mu Xinfei was a future nine star expert and Mo Ye was skilled so these two could help him.
Looking at Mo Ye barbeque the tongue, Ye Zhongming thought about taking her in as an underling.
