Chapter 538: Chapter 535: The Bootlicker is Unaware_1

Ring~

The pleasant sound of the ringing seemed to disrupt Jin Wenyi’s excited emotions. He stood by the roadside, waiting for the person he most wanted to see. But the ring tone shattered everything—even though the sound was pleasing—he knew that in these apocalyptic times, there were only a few people who could call him, and what they brought was definitely not good news.

He took out his phone to check, and sure enough, it was his father calling. At that moment, he remembered that he was supposed to do something important. Feeling annoyed and confused, he hung up the call.

He waited there for a while, as time passed minute by minute, his heart gradually cooled.

He didn’t know how many times it had been— it seemed like he had already gotten used to it.

"Did she stand me up again..."

Murmuring to himself, he silently walked towards the street leading to the Peace Party’s headquarters.

Since his father had called him, he was certainly going to ask about that matter; he might as well take care of it now.

As he walked, he glanced back at the street he had left. The figure he was longing for never showed up. The people around him, survivors dressed in ragged clothes moving like walking corpses, kept casting glances at him. Jin Wenyi realized that he no longer felt superior in front of these people.

Ever since he met that girl, he had been like a lost soul, missing her desperately. His mind was filled with her every smile and frown. Every time he wanted to see her but didn’t know how to make it happen—after all, he didn’t even know where she lived!

He had unknowingly become a certain kind of creature and he wasn’t aware of it—even if he were, he wouldn’t admit it...

Jin Wenyi, walking on the street, seemed to be living a doomed life like the other survivors around him. Finally, he arrived at the door of the Peace Party headquarters and noticed that the soldiers inside had also observed the cleanliness of the street.

"This place is...different."

He commented, then he thought of something. A gloomy look came into his eyes, and he looked at his empty hand in despair, wanting to vent his frustration, but held himself back.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Who is it? What do you want?"

"I’m Jin Wenyi. You should know me, right? I have something very important to tell your leader—something that could potentially be a threat to his life."

"Hmm?" The Peace Party soldiers looked suspicious. Their leader was a Level 6 New Human—what could possibly threaten his life?

Despite their skepticism, the Peace Party soldiers did not dare to slight him. After all, with certain things, it was better to believe than to doubt.

"Come in."

"Thank you."

Jin Wenyi said awkwardly, trying to hide his emotions. Even if he hated that person deeply, he could still tell right from wrong. He was here today to put Li Songhua in deadly danger!

"Our leader is on the third floor, you can see him when you go up."

"Alright, alright." Jin Wenyi hastily responded and went upstairs with several wary Peace Party soldiers.

What Jin Wenyi didn’t know was that as soon as he entered the Peace Party premises, the mysterious people who had been quietly following him looked at each other in surprise and retreated quietly.

"Why did he go to the Peace Party? Doesn’t he hate Li Henian?"

"Let’s wait and see..."

...

"You are..." Tang Ye looked up curiously at the man in front of him, and Jin Wenyi was taken aback by his words.

"Don’t you remember me? I... I am...?" He waved his empty sleeve, and then Tang Ye revealed a look of realization.

"Oh, it’s you. Tell me, what are you here for? However, I must tell you that I don’t like to help others."

"No, no, no. I’m just here to tell you something, out of the goodness of my heart."

"Oh, what’s that?" Tang Ye was intrigued. He’d never had anyone come to him with information that was supposedly for his own good, so he listened attentively.

"You need to be careful, leader. Li Songhua is a dangerous man!"

"That’s it?"

Tang Ye’s face fell instantly. Was this a joke? He knew Li Songhua had plans against him, but to him, Li Songhua was just a clown—his days were numbered. He could easily throw him into a group of zombies whenever he felt like it.

Tang Ye sat up straight, a strange and perfunctory smile appearing on his face. Unable to read Tang Ye’s sudden cold demeanor, Jin Wenyi’s face turned a bit unnatural.

"Leader... don’t you... care a little... about..."

"About what?"

"Huh?"

Jin Wenyi was suddenly at a loss for words, caught off guard. The scenario he had envisioned wasn’t playing out.

This isn’t going according to the script? Director, come out!

He screamed in his heart, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. He remembered a certain rumor from before and some information he had overheard, so he hurriedly said, "Leader, have you heard that Li Songhua bought a major weapon at a big base? It’s specifically designed to deal with you! It’s said that the weapon has a power of almost 2000 tons!"

He spoke in a mysterious tone, but Tang Ye waved his hand impatiently and yelled towards the door, "Someone, get this idiot out of here!"

"Huh?"

Jin Wenyi was stunned, then he was roughly dragged out by two Peace Party soldiers.

"No! Leader, believe me. Everything I’ve told you is true!"

Jin Wenyi’s shouting echoed from outside the door, as if he was deeply upset by Tang Ye’s disbelief.

For Tang Ye, Jin Wenyi’s information was only an attempt to use him to get rid of Li Songhua. He wouldn’t fall for it so easily.

Tang Ye lay down, feeling bored, preparing to focus on his duplicate that had arrived in T Province, when suddenly, he opened his eyes wide.

"Two thousand tons?"

What weapon had the power of over 2000 tons? Tang Ye suddenly thought of this question. He didn’t have a clear concept of what "two thousand tons" represented.

Compared to his own power as a Level 6 New Human, tearing down a building with bare hands was not a problem, but he wasn’t sure if that required the power of 2000 tons.

Every living creature’s evolution is different. Of course, it’s not about levels, but different strengths at the same level.

For example, an ant, could evolve to Level 1, Level 2, or even Level 3, but still not be able to beat a human. Only when it evolves to Level 5 can it stand a chance against an ordinary human being. This is the gap between species.

Then there’s the gap between humans. Their power increases threefold with each evolution, but this is an average. For some people, their power may quadruple or quintuple with each evolution, while others may only double.

Most people triple their power with each evolution. Take Tang Ye and Su Sigui, for example. If they had fought at full strength, there’s no way Su Sigui could have lasted so long despite her rich combat experience.

At full strength, Tang Ye was 1.1 times more powerful than Su Sigui. She was only able to stand at the same level because of her astounding combat experience.
