Chapter 47: Team formation
Based on the numbers, there were three bottles for three people. But the problem was, he was not close to the three of them.
Mo Ye was someone he had high hopes for and wanted to recruit. Moreover, Ye Zhongming promised her that she would get one.
As for Liang Chuyin, Ye Zhongming didn’t have high hopes for her potential. After all, there was just one standard to judge people in the apocalypse, whether or not you were strong enough. Or rather, how strong you could become. But on her, she saw the softness of a woman, but he couldn’t see… The potential to become strong.
Although whether or not one became strong depended on how much you invested, but as compared to Mo Ye, her foundations were much weaker.
What gave him a headache was Park Xiuying. Her saintly attitude was a huge no-no. Not only would it kill her, but it would also kill people by her side. So although as a guy he liked her, but after noticing her personality, he removed her from his own list right away.
But since leaving the armed forces building, she had been following them. Even if she didn’t do much she did contribute. She went all out when digging the crystals and even fought to protect them. That was something rare for her who cared about her image.
But even then, Ye Zhongming was hesitating. Should he give Liang Chuyin and Park Xiuying? The level one potion was very precious.
“Can do everything, fighting or anything else.”
Although Liang Chuyin’s basics weren’t as good as Mo Ye, her body was exquisite but a little thin. But from her precision and firmness, she was the best out of all three.
After injecting the immunity potion, this woman realised the problem of the one star strengthening potion. She expressed her determination. Before Ye Zhongming rejected her, she expressed her attitude.
Even Ye Zhongming had to admit that she was able to see problems clearly. Her words could even tempt people.
“It might not be luck to get such a thing. In the future, we will face unexpected situations and each will concern life and death. With strength, I won’t let you all go easily and you all will fight with me. Maybe tomorrow or even tonight you might die. Have you considered that?”
This was the first time Ye Zhongming was talking so seriously to her.
“I know, I understand, I am clear. You saved my life, as long as you give me a chance, I will stand by your side. Even if a strong enemy is in front of us.”
You could even see some marks of the slap that he gave her last night. But now she was solemnly swearing at the guy that hit her. Ye Zhongming really couldn’t find a reason to reject her.
Basics weren’t good, the potential wasn’t good… But at least she had a heart. He shall just invest more in her in the future.
“What about you?” Ye Zhongming looked at the cop, “I promised to give you this strength so you can choose. Will you leave or stay?”
Mo Ye’s expression was complicated.
Before this, she had planned to leave. Her years of education and training made her dedicated to the organisations of the country. That also bred some loyalty.
But since she met this guy and went through so many things together, she felt like her thinking and mentality was changing. In the depths of her heart, she wanted to maintain such a situation and welcome the new world and power with this guy.
But… her life, was like a line pulling her backward.
“Can you tell me what you are going to do next?”
Mo Ye didn’t reply to him right away and asked that instead.
He thought about it and replied, “Tonight I shall head to Pearl Lake and tomorrow I will be near the Baixing Mall.”
Mo Ye nodded, “Sorry, I might leave.”
Although he was mentally prepared but he still felt bad about it. A good seed like her was tough to find so it was a waste that she would leave.
“But I should be back, I just have things to consider and want to take a look. If things are smooth, I will go to Pearl Lake to find you. If something is delayed then I will head to the mall tomorrow.”
That reply made Ye Zhongming smile. If she had no feelings for her previous group, that would make Ye Zhongming judge her differently.
Mo Ye and Liang Chuyin were dealt with so everyone looked at Park Xiuying.
This minority female teacher was in a bad state. She had fought a strong guy so her glasses were broken and her clothes were tattered. Her white skin had some obvious bruises.
Teacher Park really wanted the strengthening potion. Although she had opinions about how Ye Zhongming did things but she couldn’t deny that she envied his strength and also his determination in dangerous situations.
But she knew that this guy didn’t have a good impression of her. From the way he looked at her, she understood that her hope of getting the potion was small.
Right, she did help him but anyone could do that. She was not indispensable.
But if she left these people, where would she go? That cop had a place to go, she had allies. That influencer was following Ye Zhongming and wouldn’t leave. What about her? Her families were all in another town. With the dangers here, she couldn’t even leave the district!
Help? The apocalypse happened hours ago. If there was help it would have came.
Park Xiuying was at a loss.
“Give her one, actually she is a nice person.” Liang Chuyin begged for her which surprised Ye Zhongming. Especially Park Xiuying herself as she didn’t expect the woman who didn’t have a good impression of her to do that.
“Treat it like I owe all of you, I will think of a way to pay it back. If we ignore her, she can’t survive with her personality.” Mo Ye helped speak up for her.
Ye Zhongming looked at them and nodded.
“Wait here for me.”
He headed to the room aside and took out the things in his bag to modify a few tubes of the level one strengthening potions.
“Thank you.” Park Xiuying thanked the two of them.
“Don’t be happy too early, if you drag us down, I will be the first to kill you.”
Hearing her threat, not only did she not feel angry, she felt touched. She pulled their hands and shook them.
When Ye Zhongming came out, she noticed that their relationship had changed. But that was a good thing and was something he hoped to see.
“It will hurt after injecting, hold it in.”
After saying that, he passed each of them one.
………………………………
After leaving the supermarket, Mo Ye left alone while Ye Zhongming brought the two of them back to his house.
“I will go do something so rest here. If you feel like your situation is good you can go kill some zombies. Remember, don’t draw too many. If you see white colored crystals on them or other monsters, run. Do you understand?”
Although the two of them were still excited about having evolved but they listened to him and nodded their heads.
After he left, he moved around the city. He had to see a place. If it was like the last life, there were many good things there.
His evolution speed couldn’t get dragged down by these women.
