Chapter 299: Working together to earn money
Talking Lady with the black cat on her shoulder jumped in from the window and looked at Ye Zhongming with a complicated expression.
It was hard for him to link that expression with that of a zombie. This was a look that only humans had.
Talking Lady stood close to the window. This was an instinct. đŻđťđŽđŚđ¸đđˇđŻđ°đżđđ.đ¸â´đ
Ye Zhongming was different from before. She could chase and hunt him with her pet, but this guy was a level higher than her. Moreover, she could sense danger in him.
It was as if⌠This guy just needed to move his hand, and he could kill her.
Talking Lady hated that powerlessness and the huge difference from the past.
âWe, help you, you, you give, us, blood.â Her voice was more natural than Red Hair, and she pronounced things correctly.
Ye Zhongming spun the bottle in his hands. This casual action annoyed both Talking Lady and Red Hair.
âHelp me? What did you two help me with?â
Ye Zhongming stood up. Talking Lady moved backward, and the black catâs fur stood on its ends.
Ye Zhongming put them under too much pressure.
But she wasnât too wary of him as he created Red Hair.
âI relied on the level five battle pet to spin things. I relied on my survivors and not you. The agreement was for you to help me leave, and I will give you the blood. But you didnât help me, so why should I give it to you? This drop is payment for that three-star potion. You need to be clear about that.â
âI, no.â
She was still not used to human language, so she got nervous and, thus, couldnât speak naturally. She continued, âI, helped, stop them, from charging. You.â
Talking Lady referred to when Yangos and the animal faction clashed when the few Zombie Kings wanted to charge at the human camp.
Red Hair and Talking Lady did use their mental communication to slow the Zombie Kings down.
âSince you have intelligence, you should know it didnât affect the situation much.â
âYour, battle pet, no.â
His pupils constricted.
Talking Lady forgot about Ye Zhongmingâs pressure and stood up straight, âYour, pet. Fake. I can feel it.â
Talking Lady was a mental-type zombie so that she could see through Young Master Yunâs job. But Ye Zhongming didnât expect her to realize that problem when she was only level three evolved.
Ye Zhongming looked at the crystal on her forehead that was slightly green.
Both the Talking Lady and the cat entered their battle states.
Red Hair looked at Talking Lady and then at Ye Zhongming. She hesitated and then locked her eyes on Talking Lady. This caused her to be even more astonished.
Although Red Hair and Ye Zhongmingâs relationship became an equal mental connection for some reason, if she had to choose between them, she would naturally choose Ye Zhongming. She felt close to him while she was just working with Talking Lady.
Even if they had some relationship because they helped each other and fought with one another, it still couldnât compare to her relationship with him.
âYou, you canâtâŚâ She was prepared to fight. She didnât expect this. She thought that the guy needed her and this agreement would continue. But now it seemed like it wasnât the case.
Talking Lady was very intelligent but still didnât understand humans much. She did not understand the basis of cooperation and was even exposed that the battle pet was fake.
Some secrets would result in death when revealed.
Vines spread out from Red Hairâs fingertips, and sharp things appeared on the wall behind Talking Lady and the cat. But she didnât dare to attack as she would usually. Ye Zhonging was before her; she would be attacked if she moved.
Ye Zhongming was surprised by Red Hairâs new ability and was slightly interested in what happened to her after she revived.
âWe, we can work together.â He smiled and took out another bottle.
This surprised her.
âThere are still many spins in the wheel. But I also donât have much money left.â
âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ
âBoss, can this work?â
âWe waited for half an hour but didnât see anything.â
âThis, didnât I say it? I think that Boss treats this as a given.â
âShut up.â
Tong Hu shouted. Although his men said some while some werenât, he didnât care.
âDonât think and say things that donât concern you. Just wait!â
Everyone quietened down, but they still had guesses in their heart.
This was a relaxing square with a thousand people laying in ambush here. The order they got was to kill zombies.
They waited for a long time but didnât see any zombies. This was contrary to how they usually hunted, so they had doubts.
But in the next moment, zombie roars caused everyone to quieten down. The first zombie appeared in the distance.
This was a small horde with a thousand zombies. Talking Lady led them here. She then disappeared into the building while this group was getting killed.
Nothing was exciting. The survivors of the same number wiped out the zombie horde.
Ye Zhongming stood on the roof, and behind him were Young Master Yun, Sha Sha, Brother Bao, and Red Hair, who stood out. A moment later, Talking Lady appeared, too.
This was Ye Zhongming, Talking Lady, and these few factions working together. Talking Ladyâs mental energy affected the horde, so she tempted some zombies these small factions killed. These factions would get 20% of these crystals.
As for why they only got a fifth, that was because⌠It wasnât every day that you could wait for zombies to come over for you to kill.
Talking Ladyâs expression wasnât good. Her evolution type meant that she focused on communicating with other zombies, unlike the zombie kings who ruled with their pressure. So she couldnât control too many zombies, and their levels werenât too high. The highest was just level two. But these were of the same race. Now that she was helping humans, naturally, she didnât feel pleased about it.
Intelligence was nothing compared to instinct in front of evolution.
âBoss Ye, this is the fifth time.â Five waves had passed the square this morning. Each wave was around a thousand, so that meant five thousand. A large portion were level one zombies, and only a small amount were level two.
But this rate sent terror into the hearts of the survivors.
Five thousand demon crystals in a morning, and only three people died. In front of four digits of crystals, this loss was negligible.
Survivors never knew that it was so easy to kill zombies. They were respectful of Ye Zhongming and were terrified of him at the same time.
This was a madman who was willing to cooperate with the zombies!
But he was still unhappy with this efficiency.
âSpeed up; we donât have much time.â
Ye Zhongming knew how time would cause problems. Since the Talking Lady could figure out that the level five battle pet was a fake, Yangos would realize sooner rather than later. He had to use this time to spin the wheel, which would simplify things.
âSeems like we have to find some tough nuts.â Ye Zhongming muttered to himself.
