Before leaving, Ye Yanling and the others found Zhu Yuanlong to say goodbye.

This parting might be forever, so Ye Yanling didn't want to leave without a word.

They found Zhu Yuanlong under the tree where Ye Ling had bestowed divine power.

Ever since Zhu Yuanlong learned that purifying one's body under this big tree could awaken supernatural abilities, he has stayed here.

When Ye Yanling appeared in front of him, he saw that he was wrapped up like a bear and also discovered that there were already supernatural energy fluctuations in his body, which were earth-type supernatural energy.

To be honest, he admired Zhu Yuanlong.

With the current terrible temperatures, freezing to death outside is a matter of minutes.

But in order to awaken his superpowers, he stayed here all night without fear of death.

There are over a hundred ruthless people like him!

They are all ordinary people yearning for awakening, and they are truly risking their lives to awaken their superpowers.

"Zhu Yuanlong, I'm leaving now. Take care."

Zhu Yuanlong suddenly opened his eyes, looked up at Ye Yanling, and quickly stood up. However, he had been sitting for too long and his legs were numb. He swayed and almost fell.

Ye Yanling reached out and grabbed his arm, lifting him up: "Don't get so excited, you weren't always such a rash person."

Zhu Yuanlong ignored his teasing and pressed on, "What did you just say? You're leaving Nanjing University of Science and Technology? Why so suddenly?"

Ye Yanling gestured to the greenhouse in the distance: "Let's talk over there, this snow is making me feel uncomfortable."

Zhu Yuanlong shook his head to brush the snow off his body and followed him into the greenhouse, where there was a small oven, but it had already gone out.

Ye Jinyan stamped his feet in cold: "We came here to find something, and staying here for two more days has already wasted a lot of time."

Zhu Yuanlong was also stamping his feet, it was too cold: "There's no need to be in such a hurry, it's not even dawn yet, how are you going to get there?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Take care of yourself here and live well for your parents."

Zhu Yuanlong hesitated for a moment, then half-jokingly said, "Take me with you. Although I used to be a good-for-nothing, that was because my father supported me. But you know I'm a decent person."

I'm all alone now, barely surviving anywhere. But brother, I don't know anyone here, and I'm not used to this way of life. I really don't want to stay here for another second. I want to leave with you.

At this point, he became serious: "Do you remember what I told you yesterday? If I hadn't been unable to leave this place, I would have left long ago."

As someone with such severe mysophobia, do you understand the despair I feel when I see feces every day when I go out? Do you understand the despair I feel when I accidentally step in people's excrement so many times?

Why am I staying here so late at night? Aren't I cold? It's because I want to awaken my superpowers as soon as possible and leave this place.

Don't call me extreme, but I'd rather die in battle than be tormented by this filthy environment. It's too painful, really.

After saying that, he squatted down and buried his head in his hands, trying his best to control his despair.

His original life consisted of living in the most prosperous areas abroad or in the most prosperous areas of S City in China. Although there were occasionally some low-quality people around him, he was in contact with highly educated and high-quality people for a long time.

As for encountering low-quality people, once you've had contact with them, you stay away and won't have a second chance to meet them.

When they heard that an earthquake was going to happen, they had already decided to go to the capital, but their grandmother passed away, so they had to come here for the funeral.

He was against coming to Nanjing University of Science and Technology at the time; he didn't want to come. It was his parents who insisted on coming, clinging to a sliver of hope that an earthquake might not happen here.

Nanjing University of Science and Technology is not without highly qualified people, but after he arrived at the base, he found that it was a place where all kinds of ethnic groups and people came together. Their customs, their perspectives, their education, and their feudal ideas were constantly refreshing his understanding.

He often felt as if he had returned to a feudal society more than a hundred years ago.

The sudden arrival of his good friend Ye Yanling rekindled a glimmer of hope in him, who was already feeling hopeless.

He saw Ye Yanling's clean and tidy clothes, his more handsome face than before, and his energetic spirit, and he was envious.

He also wanted to live a dignified life, and he wanted to leave this place with him.

But he also knew that he hadn't awakened any special abilities, and that following him would only cause him trouble, so he kept holding back from bringing up the idea of ​​leaving with him.

But now, if he doesn't speak up, his life will just stay like this for the rest of his days.

Ye Yanling looked down at his brother, who was once full of vigor but was now dejected and filled with despair. He was silent for a while before standing in front of him: "After I saw you at the base, I discussed you with Third Brother and the others. I suggested that I take you with me."

Zhu Yuanlong paused, looked up at Ye Yanling with disbelief.

Ye Yanling continued, "You are the first brother I met after the apocalypse. To be honest, I don't want to see you in this miserable state now. I would much rather see the handsome, confident, and respected Young Master Zhu Yuanlong of the past."

My third brother and Lingling both agreed, but they had one condition: you had to offer to come with us. If you didn't, then the matter would be over.

Zhu Yuanlong slowly stood up, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the excitement and emotion he felt at that moment prevented him from uttering a sound.

Seeing him like this, Ye Yanling felt even worse, but he still had to say something: "Brother, there are some things I need to make clear beforehand."

Once you come with us, you can no longer betray us or leave on your own. Because once you're with us, no matter what you see, hear, or can't accept our way of life, you won't have a chance to leave alive.

Think carefully before you decide. Brother, I'm not exaggerating. We have too many secrets, so we won't easily accept strangers into our lives.

I only reluctantly agreed because I know you, and my third brother often heard me mention you.

Zhu Yuanlong said seriously, "No need to consider, I'll go with you. Putting aside the fact that I know your character, just the fact that you treated me to a meal as soon as you saw me here, healed my injuries, and didn't look down on me for looking disheveled, based on these points, I won't hesitate or back down for a second."

"You can take my life, Zhu Yuanlong's life, if you want. If you're still not comfortable with that, then use whatever methods you think are reliable on me; I won't struggle."
