Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 692: Finally began

Hearing Le Zi’s words, everyone knew the situation was a mess.

They heard why Ye Zhongming entered Linhai, but they didnʼt know much because the Gene Warrior project was a top secret in Cloud Peak. If not for them witnessing their attack in the Cloud Peak battle, they probably would have no news at all.

But they didn’t understand the importance of this thing to Ye Zhongming and Cloud Peak. Many of their hearts felt like there was something else, which was why Ye Zhongming was willing to take such a huge risk. It was definitely not for a few sets of equipment.

Cloud Peak should have gathered with Ye Zhongming, but they didn’t look like they planned to leave the city. It was obvious that the treasure had not been obtained, but if they were still inside, they would be surrounded by the dried corpses.

Once Ye Zhongming got surrounded, then… Should they save him or not?

If they didn’t save him, entering this place would be pointless. Save, and they would face a few hundred thousand dried corpses!

Everyone wanted to get closer to Cloud Peak but still wanted to be alive.

“Le Zi, fly again to check the situation!”

Zhao Xingmei tapped his shoulder and told him to fly again.

“How many flying dried corpses are there?”

Bai Feng suddenly shouted to Le Zi, who was flying up.

“Around ten thousand!”

Bai Feng lowered his head, and everyone saw how serious he was.

“A group of maned dogs is coming from the nine-oʼclock direction, a few hundred; get ready to fight.”

When Le Zi flew into the sky, he warned those below as a few hundred mutated animals entered Linhai.

The team that had been through a war didn’t panic. The team formation was compact, and the squad facing that direction faced off against them.

The battle started and ended quickly. The mutated lifeforms, whose average level was three and didn’t have high intelligence, couldn’t cause many problems for the team. After the two evolved died and a few dozen people paid the price of a dozen injuries, these maned dogs added some income for this team.

The battle ended, and Le Zi landed again.

“This thing is a huge problem.” Le Zi drank some water from a subordinate. Before others asked, he started to talk about how the situation ahead had changed.

“Boss Ye should have gathered with those from Cloud Peak. They are too far, so I can’t see too clearly. But they quickly separated. They didn’t look like they were heading out but were moving around that tree. A team is moving south to wrap around. I don’t know what they want to do, but I saw the golden dog; I think it is together with Boss Ye.”

Everyone understood Le Zi’s words but didn’t understand what Ye Zhongming was doing. Did he want to wrap around?

“Not only that, two teams have appeared on our side. The team to our left is at least five thousand strong and has stopped at a place. The one on our right… Is a zombie horde, a real zombie horde! There are… Over a hundred thousand of them!”

The Ying City leaders were in an uproar.

What was going on? Why were more and more lifeforms joining in? Not only was there a five thousand human squad, but a hundred thousand strong zombie horde appeared. What was going on?

The leaders discussed and speculated about the possibilities, and they also considered how to make their choices.

Honestly, many people were thinking about retreating. This was different from when they were in the center city. It was a battle between humans and ocean beasts, a race battle. It didn’t matter if you were willing or not; you needed to pick up your weapon to fight for a chance to survive.

So, it didn’t matter if they wanted to fight or not.

But they did have a way out, which was nearby. They could leave here in half an hour with their speed and escape this chaotic city.

Life was the most precious in the apocalypse.

“Le Zi, was the zombie horde moving along with Boss Ye?”

“En, they are moving but aren’t rushing over. They are maintaining a distance. But there are some scattered dried corpses behind him, around 5 to 6 thousand pushing Boss Ye’s team.”

Zhao Xingmei sighed in relief when she heard that reply.

Everyone paid attention to the top leader of Ying City. Her intellect deserved far more respect than her looks.

“I have a guess.” Zhao Xingmei drew a simple map on the ground.

“Everyone knows Boss Ye; he isn’t someone to take losses. He won’t separate his team for no reason to wrap around the King Death Tree. I think he has a goal. He might even be finding a good place to kill the tree.”

Everyone looked at each other. They thought about Ye Zhongming’s past behavior and felt it was possible.

The Death King Tree was level eight, but Cloud Peak did have a seven-star evolved. Boss Ye was around seven-star strength, too. Along with his many six-star evolved and pets, as well as his two purple equipment and the full silver equipment squad, there was a chance he could kill a level-eight lifeform.

“All of you should have guessed.” Zhao Xingmei made many spots on the map, “No matter what Boss Ye wants to do, from his pathing, he definitely doesn’t know about the Death King Tree’s plan. Even if he wants to kill the Death King Tree or if he has another goal, he would still get surrounded.”

“Our choice is simple. We either leave or survive on our own in the future or help Boss Ye break this encirclement.”

Zhao Xingmei stood up and slapped her hands, which were covered in dirt, “I want to help Boss Ye. I have no reason to retreat. I believe he will be the final victor, as usual. Of course, I am gambling my own life. All of you can choose your own choice.”

Bai Feng smiled, “Still, that statement, it is better to save someone when they need it. I will go.”

With someone leading the way, everyone thought about the benefits they have been getting from Cloud Peak. They thought of the possibility of them choosing to stand aside, but Boss Ye survived. Their hearts leaned towards one choice.

In the end, no one left.

“We will send people to inform Boss Ye. The rest split into three teams and eat this zombie horde from three directions to open the tunnel for Boss Ye to get out of the city!”

In future records of this battle, the first shot wasn’t from Ye Zhongming but from Zhao Xingmei. She led the Ying City Army to attack the 80 thousand-strong zombie horde.

The Tree City Battle had begun.
