After adjusting his breathing, Zero told everyone some precautions and then led them to the other side.

This place is on the west side, surrounded by trees, separated by an earthen wall, with a gap in the middle that allows people to enter and exit.

Zero listed all the items in the space, and everyone chose a house to live in.

Looking at the small group of people, Zero's eyes hardened with determination.

He will definitely protect everyone!

However... his abilities alone are far from sufficient.

The best way is to make cultivation accessible to everyone.

But that's not such an easy thing...

Putting aside whether people have the aptitude or not, the fact that the human realm is so devoid of spiritual energy alone makes it impossible for people to have the foundation for cultivation.

Zero-energy cultivation was not only due to his talent, but also largely due to the immense role played by his Myriad Spirits Body.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to get others to practice it as well.

Zero's current worry is that if he gets bogged down by the enemy and can't get everyone to evacuate in time, they'll be in danger...

These people basically don't even have the ability to protect themselves...

If this were the old base, they could rely on technology and other defensive measures to protect themselves, but now...

Strangely enough, the large group of people who were captured earlier were all physically strong, as if the other party had made a deliberate selection. Apart from the Thirteenth Legion, the rest were all people who were powerless.

The equipment is unusable here, which is really frustrating for Zero...

I was initially overjoyed, but now that I've calmed down, I'm realizing there are just too many drawbacks...

Seeing that Ling's expression wasn't good, Ye Hao stepped forward and asked:

"Lord Zero, what's wrong?"

Zero shook his head and murmured:

"The enemy outnumbers us, and I fear there will come a day when everyone faces a life-or-death moment, and I... will be unable to protect them... At that time, the human world will likely perish..."

He was afraid...

He worried that one day he wouldn't be able to protect everyone.

He thought he was strong enough, but later he realized that his efforts alone were futile.

These are the only people left in this world...

If even they can't hold it...

He truly couldn't face himself...

"Actually... this isn't where all humans live..."

Ye Hao suddenly said.

"How so?"

Zero suddenly looked up and asked.

Ye Hao paused for a moment, then continued:

"Lord Zero, do you still remember when we first met, I told you that I was the captain of the base?"

"Hmm, not bad, but what does it matter?"

Ye Hao shook his head and said:

"Lord Zero, you are unaware of this..."

"Human bases are not limited to this place; this is just one of countless bases. It is by chance that you, Lord Zero, have come to our place..."

Zero Dark Passage, no wonder. He wondered why there were so few people in this place. He thought there were only these survivors left, but now that he knows the situation, he realizes that this is just a small branch.

That means...

Actually, they have many more allies! He's not the only one capable of resisting Li Su and his group!

But why didn't Ye Hao tell him from the beginning, but instead told him the situation now?

There is absolutely no doubt about it.

Thinking this, he asked it out loud.

Ye Hao replied:

"Lord Zero, let me put it this way—you can think of it as a kind of tribal mechanism. For example, if large and small bases are established in the south, bases are also established in the north, but the development is different."

"Just like the difference between rural and urban areas, rural areas are certainly not as prosperous as cities in terms of economy. This kind of economy can be compared to technological strength."

"And Lord Zero, the place you are in is one of our most remote and backward bases."

At this point, Ye Hao said somewhat heavily:

"The reason we didn't tell you at the beginning was because we had our own selfish reasons..."

Zero's eyes darkened as she waited for Ye Hao to continue.

"Our development has always been difficult, and we've finally encountered someone as powerful as you. Naturally, we don't want you to leave now. We don't know if you'll leave once we learn of other, more technologically advanced bases. If that happens... then no one will be able to protect us..."

At this point, Ye Hao lowered his head in shame.

He was so selfish, putting people in danger for his own safety...

"and……"

Ye Hao paused for a moment, then continued:

"We figured that other places had much more advanced technology than us, and that we might not have any problem protecting ourselves, so we didn't say anything more..."

He didn't know if Zero would get angry and storm off after he said those words.

But his conscience told him that Zero deserved to know the truth, especially since he had helped them so much.

Even though he didn't say it, and Zero might never know, he would still protect them. But every time there was a battle, Ye Hao would think of the people elsewhere, wondering if they were also fighting, if they were also facing life-or-death choices...

Today, he finally spoke out.

Even if Lord Zero were to leave because of this, he would have no regrets.

They've lived much longer than they should, they should be content.

In different places, with different people, they may be experiencing different things right now...

Zero remained silent for a long time.

Ye Hao's heart sank.

As expected... Lord Zero is still angry, and he's probably about to storm off right now...
