Can someone please tell them what this is?!
Right before their very eyes.
Ye Yunyi and the two women slowly approached.
They passed through the gazes of the astonished Mutants and entered the barrier.
Met with the stares of all the Mutants, Han Bingxue and Han Bingyu, who were behind him, grew embarrassed and silently lowered their heads.
But in the next moment!
The Wind-Chasing Leopards beneath them suddenly accelerated, following close behind Ye Yunyi, who had also sped up.
After the group disappeared from view.
The crowd of Mutants erupted in an uproar!
"Holy shit?! Am I seeing things? What was that?! The things they were riding... were those Late-Bronze Stage Exotic Beasts, the Wind-Chasing Leopards?!"
"Yeah, they were!"
"I saw it clearly! They were definitely Wind-Chasing Leopards!"
Everyone gasped. Old Zhou murmured, "What kind of person uses Wind-Chasing Leopards as mounts!"
"That’s way too extravagant!"
That single sentence seemed to voice what everyone was thinking.
Everyone fell silent.
But in their hearts, they already had an answer.
He must be a powerful Mutant of the Silver Tier!
And not just an Early-Silver Stage one, either!
’It’s infuriating to compare yourself to others!’
They had to make a detour whenever they saw a Wind-Chasing Leopard, yet this guy was using them as mounts.
Meanwhile.
Once inside the barrier, Ye Yunyi urged his Wind-Chasing Leopard to run faster.
After all, it was different inside the barrier than it was outside.
He had to be cautious out there, but in here, they could run wild.
He stuck his hand out, holding it in the air.
He enjoyed the feeling of the wind rushing past his hand.
Before the apocalypse.
There used to be a saying.
When you’re in a car, if you stick your hand out the window...
At twenty, it’s an A-cup. At forty, a B-cup. At sixty, a C-cup!
Ye Yunyi decided to feel it out for himself.
The Wind-Chasing Leopard’s current speed was about sixty mph!
’It’s true! The old saying doesn’t lie!’
’It feels just about the same as Zhou Huaiwei!’
’And any faster would probably feel like Han Bingxue and Han Bingyu behind me.’
However, Ye Yunyi didn’t accelerate any further. After all, unlike him, a Mutant, the two women behind him wouldn’t be able to handle the violent jolting of a Wind-Chasing Leopard at top speed.
「Meanwhile.」
In Ye Yunyi’s small cabin.
Zhou Huaiwei had just finished tidying up the cabin.
She had lost count of how many times she had stood at the door, gazing into the distance.
The longer she looked, the more disappointment filled her eyes.
Now, as she watched the setting sun, that disappointment was beginning to turn into despair!
’Am I... a jinx to my husbands?!’
In an instant, all sorts of thoughts flooded her mind.
As her imagination ran wild, the surrounding residents began to return from work one after another.
They saw Zhou Huaiwei at her door, craning her neck in anticipation.
And immediately began to gossip.
Uncle Chen watched, his brows furrowed. "Ye Yunyi still isn’t back?
He left the barrier this morning. It’s been a whole day."
"Looks like he’s met with disaster. He brought it on himself! He’s not even a Mutant, yet he dared to go outside the barrier? What nonsense is that?"
"Exactly. He should’ve known his own limits. I think he was just looking to die. He had that big feast last night, then went out today to gamble on scavenging an Exotic Beast. Hmph, serves him right."
A few middle-aged women chimed in, as if venting the displeasure they felt when they saw Ye Yunyi’s feast the night before.
Hearing the gossip from the people nearby, Zhou Huaiwei glared at them angrily.
She wanted to retort, but she didn’t know what to say!
All she could do was glare viciously!
’If looks could kill, these gossiping women would have died a thousand deaths already!’
In the next moment!
A scream echoed from the distance!
"Exotic Beast! It’s an Exotic Beast! The Exotic Beasts are here!"
’The Exotic Beasts are here?!’
The moment they heard those words, terrified expressions appeared on every face.
It was as if memories of the apocalypse’s arrival five years ago suddenly rose up to attack them!
They all scrambled for their houses!
The women who had just been gossiping also scrambled for their own houses, but their legs went weak and they fell flat on their faces.
But they paid no mind to the pain.
They scrambled on all fours!
They scurried toward their houses in a bizarre posture!
Then they hid inside their closets, trembling with fear!
In just a few breaths, the entire street was empty!
Zhou Huaiwei also locked her door tightly and hid in a corner.
Ye Yunyi arrived to find this scene.
He dismounted the Wind-Chasing Leopard.
Arriving at his own cabin, he pushed the door and found it locked from the inside.
So he slapped it directly!
BAM!
The two halves of the door shattered and fell inward!
"Ah!"
Hearing the noise, Zhou Huaiwei thought an Exotic Beast had broken in. She grabbed a kitchen knife, ready to fight.
But!
She found that it wasn’t an Exotic Beast standing there at all, but Ye Yunyi!
He was splattered with blood, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, he looked like a blood-soaked War God!
"Husband!"
Seeing Ye Yunyi, Zhou Huaiwei immediately rushed forward!
She threw herself into his arms!
As the two of them shared a tender moment.
The Wind-Chasing Leopard Ye Yunyi had been riding poked its head inside inquisitively.
"Ah! An Exotic Beast!" Upon seeing it, Zhou Huaiwei immediately shrank deeper into Ye Yunyi’s embrace!
Her face was pale; she was clearly terrified!
"The hell with you! Get out!"
Ye Yunyi gave the Wind-Chasing Leopard two hard slaps, knocking it back outside.
The Wind-Chasing Leopard got up, shook its head, and then curled into a ball, lying on the ground.
It looked as if it had suffered a great injustice.
"Don’t be afraid. It’s my mount," Ye Yunyi said, patting Zhou Huaiwei on the back. "I had a good haul this time. We’re moving to the inner sector of the barrier."
"Really?!" Zhou Huaiwei looked up at Ye Yunyi.
Then Ye Yunyi pulled her outside.
Zhou Huaiwei looked outside and saw that every single Exotic Beast lowered its head in submission the moment Ye Yunyi appeared.
Then, Zhou Huaiwei saw the two sisters, Han Bingxue and Han Bingyu, on the back of another Wind-Chasing Leopard.
Seeing Zhou Huaiwei, Han Bingxue quickly dismounted the Wind-Chasing Leopard.
"Sister."
Han Bingyu did the same, also calling Zhou Huaiwei "Sister."
"Huh?" Zhou Huaiwei looked at the two of them and understood. Having lived through several years of the apocalypse, she knew how things were.
The world’s order had been reshaped.
Besides, she hadn’t been able to handle him last night; it was still painful for her to walk!
’It’s perfect that someone else has come along. They can help share the firepower!’
A smile spread across her face. "Sisters, we’re all one family from now on!"
One after another, hearing that the noise outside had stopped, the neighbors came out to look.
And they saw the scene before them!
They were all stunned!
’These! Are Exotic Beasts?!’
’Ye Yunyi tamed all these Exotic Beasts?!’
The women who were gossiping earlier also saw this and began to tremble!
’When did Ye Yunyi get so powerful?!’
’If he finds out what we were saying just now, won’t his tamed Exotic Beasts tear us to shreds?!’
They immediately tried to shrink back and hide.
Ye Yunyi glanced at the crowd, then directly lifted Zhou Huaiwei and sat her on a Wind-Chasing Leopard.
"Let’s go. We’re going to the inner sector of the barrier to find a big house!"
Ye Yunyi looked at Zhou Huaiwei, then glanced at the two sisters, Han Bingxue and Han Bingyu. ’Big things are happening tonight!’
’How could this little cabin possibly be enough?!’
’This tiny bed... it’s not like it can fit four people, can it?!’
