Chapter 141: Chapter 139: I’m So Valuable_1

Yan Zhaofeng looked at Tang Ye, a hypocritical smile blooming on his face. He stepped forward, patted Tang Ye lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Hello."

After speaking, he withdrew his hand and moved it downwards, appearing to want to shake hands with Tang Ye!

Tang Ye’s gaze flickered, and while it was unclear what he was thinking, he extended his hand to meet him.

"Hello hello, heh heh heh~" Tang Ye laughed coldly, causing Yan Zhaofeng’s head to throb.

This laugh was too grating!

Complaining inwardly, Yan Zhaofeng still forced a smile and continued in a friendly tone, "Let’s go inside to talk. Given that the mask isn’t convenient to remove, we won’t insist. Let’s head inside and take our time sorting things out, ok?"

Tang Ye nodded in agreement and followed Yan Zhaofeng.

As he stepped forward, Yan Zhaofeng turned his head and gestured towards Gu Le, though it was unclear what he was trying to convey.

Having seen Yan Zhaofeng’s gesture, Gu Le immediately headed towards the exit. He signaled to the New Human soldiers outside to gather before skirting the government building and heading off in another direction.

In the corridor, Tang Ye swept his inherently cold, zombie-like gaze over the surrounding environment. Everything was opulent here; outrageously expensive porcelain, jade, and famous paintings were displayed everywhere. Before the Apocalypse, no one could have indulged in such luxury!

Yan Zhaofeng led Tang Ye into his office. After stepping inside and taking in the lavish decor, Tang Ye squinted his eyes.

"The guy sure knows how to enjoy himself."

Yan Zhaofeng then pulled a swivel chair over and smoothly pushed it in front of Tang Ye.

"Come, sit!"

Tang Ye didn’t stand on ceremony. He sat down and looked at Yan Zhaofeng without saying a word.

"My surname is Yan, ah... my first name is Zhaofeng. Despite this being our first meeting, there’s no need for us to be so formal. You can just call me Zhaofeng, what do you think?"

"Heh heh, fair enough..."

Tang Ye pondered for a moment before continuing, "My name is Tang Ye, wishing you success in all your endeavors."

"Hmm..." Yan Zhaofeng paused, unsure of the meaning behind those last words. Then, he reached for a stack of papers resembling a contract on his desk but didn’t immediately hand them to Tang Ye.

It looked as though Yan Zhaofeng had prepared plenty of these papers.

"May I ask, are you presently a New Human?"

"New Human... I guess so. What’s it to you?"

Tang Ye watched his movements, recalling the details that Chen Chaoyang had conveyed about the situation in this base. He had a fair idea of what Yan Zhaofeng was planning. Couldn’t he tell if Tang Ye was a New Human?

However, Tang Ye was completely unaware that New Humans could distinguish each other by their aura.

"Oh... well, do you mind if we conduct a test? There are some things you might not be aware of, but I can’t reveal them without knowing your circumstances. Don’t you think?"

Crack!

Tang Ye pressed one hand against the other, making a crisp sound by cracking his knuckles. Yan Zhaofeng seemed startled, his body shook, but he soon composed himself, pretending that nothing was amiss.

Squeak~

Just as Tang Ye was about to speak, the office door opened, so he fell silent. The individual who had opened the door was Gu Le, who quickly averted his gaze after casting a glance at Tang Ye.

Gu Le walked up to Yan Zhaofeng, leaning over to whisper something into his ear.

Meanwhile, a profoundly significant smile formed behind Tang Ye’s mask. Zombies possess extraordinary hearing and olfactory senses. He had heard many footsteps outside despite the room’s effective soundproofing, and this couldn’t block out his keen hearing.

There were definitely quite a few people outside the door. As for what they were going to do, Tang Ye decided to wait patiently. If they wanted to kill him, they would have to prove their mettle!

After carefully listening to Gu Le’s muffled words, Tang Ye’s smile became brighter. Gu Le was talking about how Tang Ye had killed an audacious soldier in the courtyard earlier.

Having delivered his message, Gu Le exited the office. As he closed the door, he stole another glance at Tang Ye.

Once the door was shut, Yan Zhaofeng’s face softened somewhat. He handed the paper in his hand to Tang Ye, a hint of a smile on his face.

However, upon seeing the extended paper, Tang Ye didn’t take it. Instead, he continued looking at Yan Zhaofeng, the artificial eyes in his mask seemingly mocking him.

An awkward expression froze on Yan Zhaofeng’s face and he reluctantly withdrew the paper, saying, "Alright, let’s cut to the chase. Your strength is obviously not weak, and I won’t beat around the bush or question how you entered this base. Now, I just want to extend an olive branch to you."

"Would you like to join us?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ye tilted his head in bored manner, the movement causing a "crunch crunch" sound from the friction between his neck bones.

"Join you? With this kind of attitude? I merely killed one of you. Yet you captured my people and seriously injured another one. Why should I join?"

Tang Ye’s tone was full of audacity. After Gu Le and Yan Zhaofeng had exchanged a few words, they started addressing him formally. This made Tang Ye even more overbearing.

A flash of anger crossed Yan Zhaofeng’s eyes, but he felt helpless. According to what Gu Le had just communicated, Tang Ye had easily killed a Level 1 New Human in a single move, and might be a Level 2 New Human.

Just by relying on his power alone, even though there were plenty of people outside protecting him and ready to rush in at any moment, Yan Zhaofeng believed that Tang Ye would have ample time to break his neck before help arrived!

He wasn’t willing to take the risk. As the leader of this base, he had countless beauties at his disposal in this post-apocalyptic world. He was like an emperor! He couldn’t give it all up!

The post-apocalyptic world was too wonderful to give up just like that.

However, Tang Ye’s words were indeed infuriating. What did he mean by "merely killing one of you"?

Are your people the only ones who count, and ours don’t? Are we just damned pigs and dogs?

"Er... rest assured, if you join us, we will immediately release your people. As for the one who was injured, we will compensate. What do you think?"

"Compensate, what sort of compensation?"

"Of course, it will be medication. Medication for New Humans. It’s cultivated from Evolution Crystals. Do you think... is this sufficient? If not, we can provide other forms of compensation."

As Yan Zhaofeng spoke, Tang Ye’s gaze remained fixed on his face. He wanted to see a look of pain, but to his disappointment, Yan Zhaofeng didn’t seem pained at all. Instead, his face showed hope, which left Tang Ye speechless.

"Am I really worth this much?"

Chen Chaoyang had mentioned that the medicine concocted from Evolution Crystals was high-end and complex. How can it be given away so freely?
