Towards the west of the Chuan Region Base, there were few traces of human activity. During the outbreak of the apocalypse, it was the area with the least amount of zombies. After three years, the Chuan Region Base had sent out Homo Evolutis to sweep through the area, allowing the survivors to avoid the threat of zombies.
A number of small bases had appeared, and simple tribes were formed, relying on each other for survival.
However, the clearing of the base had only solved the problem of the zombies, there was still the threat of the Berserk Beasts, especially in the 3 years of the apocalypse, where the beasts had grown to a terrifying level.
The small bases did not have the ability to defend against these beasts, and the humans that gathered together could only move towards the highlands.
It was not that they had not thought of moving towards the east, to seek the protection of a large base, but those who were not high-leveled Homo Evolutis did not have the ability to pass through the forests filled with Berserk Beasts, and were even unable to defend against the zombies that appeared out of nowhere. Furthermore, the East was constantly at war, humans against zombies, humans against mutants, and even humans against humans.
The desire to survive drove these people higher and higher, until they finally settled down at an altitude that they could not even imagine in the past.
And among these people, there was Ye Yanyang's family who had moved from the far east. This family had several generations of family members, and they had encountered many dangers during the long journey. When they reached the human settlement in the west, only Xing Ling and a few others were left in the family.
Ye Yong Yang was the current head of the Ye Family, and when he proposed the relocation, he had forcefully brought his entire family along. Along the way, many of his family members had died, and it was inevitable that he would be questioned by his family.
However, Ye Yong Yang did not give anyone a chance to negotiate, and despite his old age, he had displayed astonishing perseverance, as well as an unimaginable amount of energy, forcefully bringing the last few members of the Ye Family to this small base.
The leader of this small base was called Yang Fei Jie, he was very young, but he was already a Type 6 Homo Evolutis, the highest rank in the entire West.
It was not that there were no high-leveled Homo Evolutis in the past, it was just that they did not stay here. After all, once a person surpassed the Type 5 Homo Evolutis, they had the ability to make a living in the East, and live an extravagant life.
However, Yang Fei Jie had chosen to stay, and take care of the powerless survivors.
"You guys want to settle down here?"
Yang Feijie looked at Ye Yongyang and the others, who had just arrived at this small base, and could not help but reveal a hint of surprise in his eyes.
These members of the Ye Family were dressed in rags like beggars. It was obvious that they had experienced an unimaginably long and arduous journey, and even terrifying danger. However, their eyes were too bright and dazzling, causing people to be suspicious.
The few refugees who suddenly popped out of nowhere accurately found this base that was not easy to find. They successfully passed the interrogation and investigation of the guards at the gate and even came before Yang Feijie himself.
No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem right!
"Yes, Leader, please take me in." Ye Yong Yang looked straight at him, neither servile nor overbearing.
Yang Feijie's gaze swept across the people behind Ye Yong Yang, then he frowned and asked, "I heard that you guys came from the east?"
Ye Yong Yang nodded his head, as though he was relieved. A smile appeared on his aged face, "Yes, they came from the easternmost part of China."
Yang Feijie's heart surged with some strange emotions, "You guys, walked here?"
Everyone knew how big China was, crossing from east to west, how many kilometers was that?
Ye Yong Yang continued to nod his head, his eyes filled with bitterness, "Left for more than two years, out of the dozens of people in the family, only these few behind me are left."
Yang Feijie did not expect this to be true, and the way he looked at Ye Yong Yang and the others changed. Such a shocking thing really happened?
"You guys, why did you do this?" Yang Feijie could not understand, "Was it worth it?"
With his perception, he could clearly feel that these few refugees in front of him were the most ordinary survivors, they were not even Type 1 New Humans. How did these ordinary people with no combat ability manage to cross half of China?
Ye Yong Yang did not explain further, he just said helplessly, "When the whole family is facing a disaster, no matter how difficult it is, we have to try to protect the family's legacy. Losing a large part of the family is better than staying in the east and dying."
As the sound of his voice faded, Yang Feijie could not help but feel shocked and impressed, the few young men and women behind the Ye Family Elder were also shocked.
Along the way, Ye Yong Yang did not tell them the reason, no matter how angry they were and how much they objected, the Ye Family Elder just kept silent.
But at this moment, when Ye Yong Yang spoke of this crisis, the remaining young people of the Ye Family could not sit still anymore.
Yang Feijie did not make things difficult for Ye Yong Yang, he briefly explained a few things to take note of in this small base, then vacated a simple and crude house in the corner of the base for the Ye Family Elders to temporarily live in.
Facing this small house that was only 20 square meters, Ye Yong Yang expressed his gratitude, after all, they did not have anything to offer, it was already beyond their expectations to have a house, even if it was a few people squeezing together, it was nothing.
When only the Ye Family Elders were left in the house, one of the Ye Family Elders could not help but ask, "Grandpa, what is the Ye Family's disaster?"
Ye Yong Yang reached out and touched the pendant hidden in his chest, his eyes distant, "Your uncle Ye Bo came into contact with a rich young master with the surname Bai, you all know about this, right?"
"Yes."
One person replied, puzzled, "At that time, Uncle Ye Bo said that this Bai young master could save our family from danger, and we could also live in a large base and enjoy the treatment of nobles, but after you heard this, you flew into a rage and directly expelled Uncle Ye Bo from the family."
Ye Yong Yang smiled bitterly, "The Bai family that the Bai young master belongs to, is one of the few families that our Ye Family was restrained a thousand years ago."
"A thousand years ago?" The young people of the Ye Family were stunned.
Ye Yong Yang knew that this secret was an extremely long history, so he waved his hand and simplified it, "You only need to know that the Bai family wants our entire family dead."
"But, I heard from Uncle Ye Bo that the Bai young master sincerely wants to see you?" There were also some young people of the Ye Family who were suspicious.
Ye Yong Yang smiled coldly, "That is because he wants something from me, or rather, he wants me to be their tour guide."
"Tour guide?" The young people of the Ye Family Elders found it more and more difficult to understand their grandfather's words.
Ye Yong Yang's eyes flashed with a cold light, his voice even colder, "A tour guide for the Thousand Year Tomb."
