Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 545: Black smoke outside

Mutated lifeforms had intelligence and instincts.

Maybe because of the strict level of suppression between one another, they had no choice but to listen to orders. But at specific periods, their instincts would still show.

For example, fear.

Mo Ye’s attack was too threatening. Along with Liang Chuyin, Park Xiuying, etc., controlling the Violent Lightning Turret to attack, there was an empty zone in the beast wave. Tens of thousands of lives were taken away. These corpses had neurological twitches, but that was their final movement on earth.

The entire beast wave paused. Anyone who saw that would have a weird feeling. It was as if a giant wave just stopped in front of you.

When they attacked, it didn’t feel as strong as before.

There was a break in the series of attacks. Like the one at night, although some beasts got up the walls, there was no support, and the Ying City Alliance easily killed them.

A weird voice stopped those behind.

This wall part was the first where the beast wave stopped attacking. Only half an hour had passed since the attack started.

Although Ying City’s side quietened down, the beast wave continued to attack the others. It was as if they would win in the next second.

Seven mid-sized squads were defending a part of the west wall. Some of the few factions even had hatred with one another.

This was a peculiar matter. Usually, people might become enemies because of a small matter. They might fight in a bar because of a minor issue and find a way to kill each other. The pressure to survive in the apocalypse turned many people into a demon.

But now, facing a common enemy, no one dared to scam each other. No one took a step back. Courage, a habit in the apocalypse, allowed the evolved to fight to the death.

This was the conflicting part of human nature and gave humans our light.

Everyone understood a theory. If they retreated, others would, too, and death would descend on all of them. If they gave their all, others would have to do so, and they might have a chance to live.

Many people didn’t trust the humans fighting on the wall; they trusted their own hearts and abilities.

“Zi zi!”

There was a weird expression. A few parts of the wall were hit by this explosion, and the mutated lifeforms were killed. The defending troops took back the wall and regained the advantage.

Many people looked instinctively and saw a team of hundreds wearing white equipment, retracting their hands. They took more black stuff from their pockets and tossed it at the ocean beast wave.

The ear-piercing explosion occurred once again. More parts of the beast wave were cleared up. From the wall, it was as if the beast wave was balding in some areas.

The defending troops were stunned and didn’t know where these people came from and how they could get such strong weapons. But some sharp ones recognized them from Ying City. The core was from the organization called Cloud Peak.

These hundred people tossed two rounds of that crystal grenade before changing weapons. They took out a similarly weird gun and fired those beasts below. The strong firepower was even stronger than the thousands of those defending. This region of ocean beasts was cleared just like that.

Next, while the defending troops were tongue-tied, this team left.

Such a situation occurred on all parts of the walls apart from those that the Sky Elephant Division was in charge of. Ying City Alliance was not under pressure, so the Cloud Peak core split into many groups and supported others. They could be seen anywhere that was in danger.

The strength of Cloud Peak and the Ying City Alliance Army was ingrained in all their minds.

Although Sky Elephant Division didn’t find it as easy as Cloud Peak, they were better prepared this time, so they weren’t under as much pressure. Guang Yao, Little Xiu, etc leadership level didn’t have to attack. They observed the situation while also seeing the Cloud Peak elites that were running about.

“What are they doing? Are they really that nice?” Little Xiu looked at the Cloud Peak squad suspiciously.

The negotiation with Ye Zhongming left a deep impression on her. That guy was very sharp and didn’t hold back at all.

Guang Yao glanced, but he didn’t mock them as Little Xiu did; he just frowned and contemplated.

“Uncle Bao saw those crystal weapons, and he had no idea. He had totally no clue at all.”

Little Xiu was stunned when he heard those words. Uncle Bao was Grandmaster Sha’s disciple, a famous smith in the T1 Resistance Zone. He had no clue?

She didn’t believe Ying City’s technological level would be above the resistance zone. Those crystal weapons were obviously man-made and not from the wheel.

“Seems like we need to get those guns for Grandmaster Sha to study.”

The two stopped for a moment and considered how to get those guns.

They couldn’t just steal it. Not to mention, they might not be able to beat them; the current situation didn’t allow for such internal strife.

Cloud Peak would disagree if they traded, so what?

“That Ye Zhongming gives me a feeling.” Guang Yao said suddenly, “He is here to make money.”

Although Little Xiu didn’t listen to orders sometimes, but she trusted Guang Yao’s words. She also realized something.

“You are saying, they are doing this for… Money?”

Guang Yao nodded, “We will know when this wave retreats, that guy… Is not so simple.”

When the higher-ups in Sky Elephant Division talked about Ye Zhongming, the Ying City Alliance defense region noticed a special situation.

Ye Zhongming was called over.

“Smoke pillar?!”

He was confused. He looked at the black smoke in a direction and didn’t know why such a thing would appear.

The ocean beasts couldn’t have made such a thing; only humans could.

Was the person sending a signal? Or asking for help?

Little Peng’s image flashed in his head, and he punched the wall.

“Xia Bai, follow me!”
