It actually has S-level potential! We're rich now!

Lu Yuan laughed wildly. S-rank potential meant that the zombie leader's ultimate growth peak was S-rank.

This is an S!

Don't be fooled by Bai Ling's 3S rating; the upgrade experience required for that thing is terrifying. Who knows when it will ever reach its peak?

They've really struck it rich now.

Lu Yuan muttered to himself while laughing heartily.

The other three looked at Lu Yuan as if he were an idiot, and then they were all dumbfounded.

"Hey Yuan-ge, are you hungry?"

"He's acting crazy, and he's drooling!"

Lu Yuan ignored Zhao Qiang; he had no interest in explaining.

Because he was concerned about the zombie leader's death and the zombies' next move.

He quickly stood up from the ground and looked down at the edge of the building.

"They've retreated! The zombie army has retreated! We've succeeded!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked down.

Sure enough, the zombie army began to retreat in a chaotic manner.

"Brother Yuan, you're amazing!"

"You were right! Once the zombie leader dies, the zombie army will retreat."

Yu Huanshui and Gong Yuehan's admiration for Lu Yuan had reached its peak at this moment.

"Of course!"

"My brother Yuan's greatest strength is his brain."

"Back in the day, Yuan-ge, Lin Feng, and I would sneak peeks at Widow Zhang next door..."

The brainless Zhao Qiang started talking nonsense again, and Lu Yuan kicked him in the butt.

He quickly stopped talking.

"You talk too much!"

"Once the zombies disperse, we'll head to that building as soon as possible."

Lu Yuan pointed to the building directly in front of him.

Because Ye Shengnian and Cai Zhiying were inside.

The thought of Ye Shengnian ignited Lu Yuan's murderous intent!

"Ye Shengnian, you better not let me catch you, or I'll skin him alive!"

Zhao Qiang was also indignant.

"Brother Yuan, it would be best to throw him into the zombie horde to feed the zombies."

"Damn it, he almost killed me!"

Zhao Qiang's words were indeed very true, and even Gong Yuehan and Yu Huanshui, who hadn't given him a good look in the past two days, nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Ye Shengnian also saw the zombies retreating and thought that Lu Yuan and the others were dead.

Just as he was feeling smug, he glanced at the rooftop.

Then he saw that Lu Yuan and the others were still alive, which startled him.

It seems the plan has failed. If we don't leave now, we'll be waiting to die.

"Cai Zhiying, we need to get out of here right away."

"They're still alive. If they find out, we're finished."

Ye Shengnian reached out to pull Cai Zhiying.

But Tsai Chih-ying dodged it.

"Go if you want! I'm going to find them!"

"I'm going to expose your evil deeds!"

Ye Shengnian narrowed his eyes, and a murderous intent quickly gathered.

This shows how stupid Cai Zhiying was; wasn't she forcing Ye Shengnian to kill someone to silence him?

That's what stupid women are like; they have absolutely no brains.

Having said all that, how could Ye Shengnian possibly let her live?

Only the dead won't reveal secrets; even if discovered, they can remain silent with no way to prove it.

"Yingying, actually I love you."

As Ye Shengnian spoke, he moved closer to Cai Zhiying.

One hand was tucked behind his back, and he held a dagger tightly in his hand!

"Do you think I'll still believe your lies? I'm going to expose your ugly side..."

"Pfft!"

Cai Zhiying stopped abruptly, staring at her abdomen in disbelief.

At this moment, a dagger was stuck in his abdomen, and the hand holding the dagger belonged to Ye Shengnian.

Calling you an idiot is too kind of you.

"I've never seen such a stupid woman. You should use your brain more before you're reincarnated!"

On the other side, the fire in the stairwell had been extinguished, but the temperature was still very high.

I estimate I won't be able to leave for at least an hour or two.

Fortunately, the zombie army outside had dispersed, leaving only a few scattered ones wandering aimlessly.

"Brother Yuan, are we just going to wait like this?"

Zhao Qiang was an impatient man and couldn't wait any longer.

"If you're in a hurry, you can leave first."

Once Lu Yuan was in a good mood, he started teasing Zhao Qiang.

Looking at the sweltering heat at the stairwell, Zhao Qiang shrank his neck and took a step back.

"Brother Yuan, what are you saying?"

"As the saying goes, brothers will never be separated, and fathers and sons will never be separated on the battlefield."

"Although we are not blood brothers, we are closer than blood brothers. How could I abandon you and leave alone?"

Zhao Qiang shamelessly uttered shameless words.

"cut!"

The three of them simultaneously scoffed, their eyes filled with disdain!

Of course, this is all in good faith.

An hour later, Lu Yuan and his group of four, led by Bai Ling, arrived at the floor where Ye Shengnian had previously hidden.

When the door was opened, all that was seen was Cai Zhiying lying in a pool of blood; Ye Shengnian had already been gone for some time.

"That damned Ye Shengnian, he even killed his own people!"

"He's still breathing! Quickly bandage him to stop the bleeding!"

While cursing, Gong Yuehan took out some hemostatic gauze from her private space and began to provide first aid.

"Sister Yuehan, are you still planning to save her?"

Yu Huanshui was unhappy. He almost died at the hands of this woman, and it was already merciful of him not to kill her.

"Save him first, I need to ask some questions."

Lu Yuan spoke.

Since Lu Yuan had spoken, Yu Huanshui had no choice but to help bandage the wound.

Lu Yuan frowned; he had underestimated Ye Shengnian's ruthlessness.

I thought he was just a little jealous, but I never expected him to resort to such unscrupulous means.

Even if someone plotted to kill him, Lu Yuan could understand it, but he couldn't understand killing Cai Zhiying.

Perhaps there are untold stories behind this.

This person cannot be allowed to live! Otherwise, he will surely become a major threat in the future!

"Ye Shengnian and Cai Zhiying are partners and they are working together to carry out the plan to harm people. Logically speaking, they are just in the same boat."

So why kill Cai Zhiying?

"I suspect Ye Shengnian is trying to silence me."

At this point, Zhao Qiang raised a question.

Why did he kill someone to silence them? What was his motive?

Zhao Qiang's question hit the nail on the head.

Lu Yuan didn't know.

But he would speculate.

"It's also possible that Cai Zhiying knows too much, so Ye Shengnian has to kill her."

"Judging from the traces at the scene, the two must have been fighting before."

"But judging from this wound, it seems like it was a sneak attack."

By this time, Gong Yuehan and Yu Huanshui had already treated Cai Zhiying's injuries.

"Your analysis is correct. So where did Ye Shengnian go?"

When faced with Gong Yuehan's question, Lu Yuan held up two fingers.

There are two possibilities.

"First, continue the mission; second, return to base!"

"The chances of continuing the mission are slim, because it's very likely they'll run into us."

"Second, return to the gathering place in Tai'an!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them were taken aback.

"Brother Yuan, does Ye Shengnian still dare to go back?"

End of chapter!
