The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

Anyone with a modicum of moral conscience wouldn't want to deal with the Free Fire people, because they are not only cruel to asymptomatic individuals, but also see the lives of those who have been mutated as mere tools to be used.

They only care about their own interests and goals.

Everyone looked very grim.

"What do we do next? Retreat?"

The short man huddled by the campfire, muttering to himself as he stared at the flames. Though filled with hatred, he was already considering retreating.

The other big guy, still unable to quell his rising anger, growled in a low voice:

"What a joke! So many brothers have died, how can we not avenge them?"

"Revenge? Haha, we don't even know if we'll get out of here alive!"

Another young team member seemed to have lost his fighting spirit. He covered his face and sobbed softly, as if his will was on the verge of collapse.

"You brat, are you wailing at a funeral?"

The big guy grabbed the teammate by the collar and yelled, "Coward, are you going to be a coward?"

"Old Chen and the others have been so good to you, and so has Brother Kui. If he hadn't pushed you out, you would have died. Are you going to give up now?"

"Enough! Old Mo, stop!"

The short man suddenly stood up, grabbed the big man's arm, and, unable to suppress his helplessness, cried out in despair:

"Revenge? What do you expect us to use to get revenge now? We only have five people left, and the captain has lost an arm. There are so many of them. Do you expect us to risk our lives to save them?"

"Even if we launch a suicide attack, how much damage can we inflict on the enemy? And how effective will it be?"

Dafeng took a deep breath. By this time, the white fox had already re-bandaged his wounds. Dafeng sighed helplessly:

"The dwarf is right, we can't make any more unnecessary sacrifices."

The group around the campfire fell silent again. Old Mo slumped down, burying his face in his hands and sobbing uncontrollably.

Ye Xiao and his group watched in silence, while Zhou Hu and Chen Ge also felt uneasy.

Having endured so much in the apocalypse, they had developed a bond with their teammates, whom they had fought alongside as if they were family. The grief they felt at that moment was unimaginable.

The live stream chat fell silent, with only Sanhu and his group cursing the Freefire people, but all their curses were turned into asterisks and could not be sent.

Han Yu looked at the flickering flames, then silently turned to Ye Xiao and asked:

"Boss, what should we do?"

When Da Feng saw Han Yu and the others calling Ye Xiao "boss," he was slightly taken aback. His gaze swept over Ye Xiao's fair face, and he suddenly recognized Ye Xiao.

"Are you Ye Xiao?"

Ye Xiao looked up at Da Feng and nodded in response, then suddenly let out a soft hum and said:

"I don't intend to leave like this!"

Ye Xiao's words startled both Zhou Hu and Chen Ge. Zhou Hu frowned, seemingly disapproving, and spoke:

"Boss, are you planning to go head-to-head with the Freefires?"

The members of the Dongmu Adventure Team also looked at Ye Xiao with surprise.

Ye Xiao glanced at Chen Ge and said, "We have some history with Free Fire, and I still remember our grudge against them."

"But a direct confrontation is out of the question. We're in the shadows now, so we can still sabotage them. I don't really want them to get their way; that would really annoy me!"

There is a king-level mutated plant here, and that's his target. Ye Xiao also believes that those guys from Freefire are likely also targeting that king-level mutated plant.

Just leave like that, handing everything over to those bastards from Freefire?

He can't swallow this insult!

Ye Xiao raised his eyes and revealed a ruthless look. "It's true that they have firepower, but although we are outnumbered, we are not lacking in firepower either!"

[The Heart of Isaac: My brother Xiao is tough! Yeah, we're not afraid of them!]

[Pharaoh Elden: 666, that's ruthless, I like it!]

[Three Foxes: What are you standing there for? Send the gifts! Let's give Xiao-ge some support!]

[Traveler: The streamer is ruthless!]

[Black Nine Envoys: Charge! Let's get them!]

……

Ye Xiao's words caused a surge of excitement in the live chat, with gifts flying everywhere!

Old Ghost stared at Ye Xiao for two seconds, then suddenly grinned, "That's tough! That's right, this is what makes it interesting!"

He glanced at the white fox who had finished packing the first-aid kit and asked:

"Brother, what do you mean?"

White Fox glanced at Ye Xiao and said, "As long as we don't confront them head-on, there's plenty we can do!"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao and the others' words, Old Mo couldn't help but stand up, "Brother Ye Xiao, count me in!"

"I'm risking my life, Old Mo!"

Ye Xiao raised his hand at the other party, indicating that he could not completely trust him and that his secrets could not be easily exposed.

"No, it's not convenient for you to get involved in this matter; you have more important things to do."

Ye Xiao looked at Da Feng and the others, and said:

"You must leave here as soon as possible. Once you're outside, find our two team members who were left behind, Liu Yang and Tian Haifeng. Do you know Tian Haifeng?"

Dafeng nodded. "I know, I've met him twice!"

Ye Xiao nodded, "If you manage to find them, have them return to the base immediately and notify our people at the base. The auto repair shop at the very bottom of the eastern section of the inner street is our shop."

"The people who notified us should leave the base immediately and wait for us at Sister Lin's previous residence."

"If you don't encounter them, then you can help by going directly to deliver the message!"

"The Free Fire may be backed by a base. We can't defeat them; we must leave as soon as possible!"

Having made the decision, Da Feng and his group accepted Ye Xiao's commission.

The group slowly walked out of the building.

Just as they stepped out of the building, a figure suddenly leaped down from above and landed steadily beside Ye Xiao, startling Dongmu's men.

"Ye Xing?"

Seeing Ye Xing suddenly appear, Ye Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Then, angrily, he raised his hand and smacked the other's head, cursing:

"Where have you been? How can you wander around in a place like this all by yourself?"

Ye Xing suddenly shrank his neck, pouted pitifully, and pointed in the direction they had come from.

The noise of the vines had disappeared, and the place had become quiet.

Ye Xiao frowned slightly and looked Ye Xing up and down before noticing that her clothes were stained with some dark green liquid.

On that jet-black arm, in addition to the previously spreading orange-red veins, there now seemed to be some green fluorescent veins.

Ye Xiao's brow twitched, and he quickly grabbed Ye Xing's shoulder, pressing for an answer:

"Did you eat something indiscriminately again?"

[Milk Egg Not Bland: Hahaha, my brother Xiao is really worried sick!]

[Apostle of Light: What did the little mute eat this time?]

[Black piano keys: Has the little mute boy evolved?]

[SilverMoon315: Could she have evolved by consuming seed cores?]

……

Silver Moon 315's words suddenly reminded Ye Xiao that, looking at Ye Xing's arm, it seemed quite possible.

Ah Zhao and the others curiously gathered around, and when they saw Ye Xing's hand, Ah Zhao's brow twitched.

"Little sister, you won't bloom, will you?"

Ye Xiao's eyes twitched, and goosebumps immediately rose all over his body. He glared at A Zhao.

"You jinx! Don't curse my sister!"

Ye Xing shook his head vigorously, pointed to his mouth, and waved his hand, indicating that he wasn't eating it directly.

Seeing her actions, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Ge patted Ye Xiao on the shoulder, as if he had thought of something.

"Boss, do you remember last time Xiaoxing wanted to eat the seed core of that level three mutant? That vine plant just now, those previous level three mutants all had a certain level of intelligence."

"Xiao Xing doesn't usually seem to have these needs!"

Speaking of this, Ye Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up. Indeed, since Ye Xing started following him, apart from this time, the only other time was during the Level 3 mutant incident when he acted on his own, acting like he was on steroids, with only the desire to fight.

Could it be due to the attraction of the seed nucleus?

Normally, Ye Xing has no interest whatsoever in the seed cores of ordinary mutants, nor in the seed cores of mutated beings.

Could it be that her kind of evolved form craves the seed nucleus of a mutant with a certain degree of intelligence?

We can discuss this discovery with Huo Yan later; who knows what Huo Yan might discover?

Ye Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Alright, we should go now. The way we came is no longer passable. I wonder if there's another way!"

The short man nodded, "Yes!"

As he spoke, he pointed to a road that stretched deep into the distance and said:

"This area is relatively safe. There's a ground flower here that looks like it has a human mouth, so be careful not to get bitten. But there aren't any other attackers around here, so you can go this way!"

Ye Xiao and his group's facial muscles twitched, and they all murmured in unison:

"A ground flower with a human mouth?"
