âLet me introduce; this is Cloud Peakâs Mr Ye.â Deacon Tong raised his hand toward Ye Zhongming to introduce his identity.
Less than three years had passed since the start of the apocalypse, and people were still used to peacetime terms like Mr, Miss, Handsome, etc. But five years later, things like captain, team leader, deacon, chief, and even King, Saint, and Emperor would become more common.
Although Deacon Tong wasnât very detailed, because of the country rankings, everyone knew who he was the moment he said Cloud Peak and Ye Zhongming.
Many people were shocked.
Some were shocked because this was the leader of the sixth super faction and in the top ten in the solo rankings.
Some people thought deeper and felt that such a strong person was definitely here to snatch the rewards. This added a few more unexpected changes to the reward distribution.
Naturally, the two factions had different thoughts. One was Zhang Zhongzhen. Their resistance zone was ranked first, but they werenât confident before Ye Zhongming. Others might have known a little about what happened to C and T Zone, but he knew clearly. He knew what Cloud Peak did.
Although Ji Ruiguang wouldnât tell them everything about the earth elf, the entire process couldnât be hidden. With Zhang Hetaiâs understanding of that person, even if he didnât guess fully, he still guessed most of it. Naturally, he realized the huge part that Cloud Peak and Ye Zhongming played.
Moreover, as the Resistance Zoneâs information speed was quicker and more accurate, they understood Cloud Peak better than anyone else.
Zhang Zhongzhen panicked a little when he saw Ye Zhongming. Although it was just a little, it was clear enough for Ye Zhongming to pick it up.
After all, Ye Zhongming was on the same level as his father, but he was much weaker. Even if he had evolved into a seven-star because of his father, he was still weak.
Relationships became uncertain in the apocalypse. The only reliable thing was direct blood relations, such as father and son, mother and son, etc.
This was also not absolute. In Cloud Peak, Ye Zhongming was very close to the few women, his subordinates, Liu Zhenghong and Le Dayuan, etc. Some others were cold-blooded and didnât mind sacrificing their loved ones when needed.
The other faction was naturally Gan Lan and Mei Na.
They didnât expect to meet someone they knew here.
When they faced the threat of the resistance zone, they considered finding Ye Zhongming. They already knew about Cloud Peakâs tempting bounty.
But they already had a familiar base and werenât willing to give up on it. They also didnât think that Cloud Peak had the responsibility to help them. If they went there, they would be entering another lionâs den. The third reason was the relationship between Cloud Peak and Resistance Zone. Even if the former wanted to help, there might not be much that he could do.
The thought flashed across their minds, but that was it.
But things were different now. Ye Zhongming appeared before them and was accompanied by two deacons. This was the treatment that even Zhang Zhongzhen didnât receive. Although Zhang Zhongzhen wasnât the boss of the Resistance Zone, his father was, and his status wasnât low. Ye Zhongming received the treatment that he didnât. From this angle, Ye Zhongming might not be on the same level as Zhang Hetai, but he was nearly there.
To a drowning person, every piece of floating wood could save her life.
Ye Zhongmingâs appearance was that piece of wood for the drowning mei Na and Gan Lan.
No, it was at least a wooden boat.
He introduced Zhang Zhongzhen and the others to Ye Zhongming. Ye Zhongming was quite surprised and didnât expect to meet someone from the Resistance Zone. Ye Zhongming thought those prideful fellows would occupy a dungeon alone.
âThis place is Hundred Hole Swamp. These tunnels are all resource points, and each is connected to an ice corridor. It is really cold, and many holes can spit ice fog on both sides of the corridor. Even if we enter, the cold temperature would be a threat. Although I havenât tried it, I estimate that a seven-star evolved might not be able to spend too long there.â
Deacon Tong didnât plan to introduce Mei Na and Gan Lan to Ye Zhongming. He knew the invited faction didnât complete their task, so they were useless. Since that was the case, they didnât care about that small organisation. They entered the country rankings because Five Ring Money raised their status to help draw more attention to Bright Water Feast.
The truth was like that. Most of the invited factions were ranked.
Ye Zhongming did see Mei Na and Gan Lan but Deacon Tong didnât introduce them and directly talked about matters so he didnât want to interrupt. He wasnât so familiar with the two of them such that he could interrupt Deacon Tong.
Ye Zhongming was indeed interested in Gan Lanâs side job and even gave her the promise that she could find him in Cloud Peak. But that was because he felt that the Rhythm Observation job was very useful. It wasnât that he had high hopes for the two of them if not he would have recruited them on the spot.
When considering problems, Ye Zhongming cared about interests first. Five Ring Money could bring him more benefits now and not these two poor-looking women.
âWhere is the difficulty?â Ye Zhongming was here to help so he needed to know what he had to do.
Deacon Tong didnât reply immediately and talked to the few factions here before saying, âThe first difficulty is the small bugs in the ice fog. They are very small, the size of mosquitoes and their bite is very strong. They search for exposed skin and no evolved could block their teeth. Although they wonât do direct damage, but they will suck heat. The biggest losses here are due to them.â
After hearing Deacon Tongâs words, Ye Zhongming glanced at Gan Lan who was covered in a blanket. He saw her wet hair and had some thoughts.
