Chapter 623: Tough spot

After returning to the camp, everyone saw that Ye Zhongmings expression wasnt good. Those who werent too close to him didnt ask. In the end, the core members were gathered in his tent.

Everyone looked at the meter-long green leaf placed in front of them. Liang Chuyin even reached out to touch it.

Yi?

The leaf twitched, and that shocked everyone.

Such strong vitality.

Mo Ye looked at the toughness of this leaf that had already been sliced and was astonished.

Liang Chuyin looked at her fingers, then the leaf, before finally looking at Ye Zhongming.

Ye Zhongming nodded, It can absorb our energy.

The others exclaimed.

Mutated lifeforms ate humans and treated them as their evolution feed. This wasnt scary, as humans had to kill them to obtain their demon crystals to evolve.

But these mutated plants with no demon crystal but could absorb energy made the people in the tent uncomfortable.

Such a situation meant that even if the plants didnt kill you, they could still obtain your ability. It had one more way of growing, making it easier to evolve than other lifeforms. But humans couldnt gain anything from it.

Maybe we should leave.

Xia Bai, who didnt speak much, suddenly suggested to leave, which silenced everyone in the tent.

Everyone knew her importance in Ye Zhongmings heart. She was her shadow and had a supernatural position in Cloud Peak. Even Xia Lei had to treat her respectfully.

But she never expressed her views on everything, so people were used to ignoring her. But when she spoke, no one dared to disrespect her.

For example, now. When Xia Bai, who usually wouldnt give her views, said something, and it was to retreat, this gave everyone a deep impression.

Ye Zhongming was also considering this matter.

He was different from people like Liang Chuyin and Little Tiger, who were used to fighting. These fellows werent afraid of anything. If Ye Zhongming were here, they would charge forward to stab a hole into the sky. This differed from Mo Ye and Xia Bai, who wanted to retreat. The former cared about losses, while the latter cared about Ye Zhongmings safety.

Ye Zhongming was more used to balancing pros and cons.

He had to battle these plants if he wanted to enter Linhai City. But as Mo Ye worried, what if they suffered huge losses? These people were the elites of Ying City and Cloud Peak. Any losses would mean that Ying City Alliance would weaken. They would then have less confidence when they faced Soul Merchant or Glory Army.

Moreover, if they were hunting mutated lifeforms, they would have demon crystals. If people died, they would get crystals and materials as compensation. But these plants didnt have crystals. Ye Zhongming tried and they werent usable as materials. So, if the people died, they wouldnt get anything in return.

What worried him the most was what was inside. Would there be more terrifying plants? Or more dangerous things? If not, why would the city be so quiet that there werent any zombies?

Taking a step back, this wasnt a necessary mission, so he could afford to give it up.

But he recalled what Liu Zhenghong told him.

Only two labs in the country had these high tech equipment. One was in Linhai City, and the other was in the capital.

If he gave up on this, Liu Zhenghongs research would slow down. The experimental lifeforms were slowly losing their life forms, which couldnt be stopped.

What he worried more was that Liu Zhenghong was showing signs of returning to her past life. If this current path couldnt work, would she walk the same path that terrified Ye Zhongming?

Le Dayuan and her were together. If she did those experiments, Le Dayuan, an orthodox person, might feel differently about her, and would they break up? Or even become enemies?

Each was a tough choice.

Let me think about it; all of you head out.

He told his subordinates to head out. He picked up the leaf and tried to use the gardener's skill to activate it. But there was no reaction.

But Ye Zhongming felt that there was a weird aura, but he couldnt pinpoint what it was.

Xia Bai stood in the corner. As long as she was fine and Ye Zhongming was outside Cloud Peak, she wouldnt let this person out of her sight.

She saw Ye Zhongming frowning while sitting on a piece of stone. This person who saw Ye Zhongmings life as something more important than hers walked over. She knelt in front of him. After an unzipping sound, she removed her mask and buried herself between his legs.

She was willing to do anything to help her guy relax.

Ye Zhongming felt the comfort from his sensitive area, and his thinking became much more straightforward.

He would face losses and dangers if he headed in. If not, he would lose the chance to advance the technology.

What should he do?

He thought about it from the side and slowly had a new thought process. This new idea made sense, but would his group oppose it?

The sky was dark outside.

Ying City Alliance sent a few thousand people to be sentries, and the furthest was a few kilometers out. The camp started to cook, and the fragrance wafted through the air.

The first night at Linhai City ended peacefully.

The following day, the entire alliance received a piece of shocking news. Boss Ye was going in alone!

This decision was rejected by everyone, even Little Tiger and Liang Chuyin. They knew that Cloud Peak would be finished if anything happened to Ye Zhongming.

Ye Zhongming wasnt rash. On the contrary, he felt like this was the best solution.

Of course, he was well prepared. He even prepared so much that he felt heart-pained.
