Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 525: Earning money

When the Violent Lightning Turret was completed, the human defense line was pushed back significantly. The gate was closed, and the people who couldn’t enter gathered near Cloud Peak’s wall. The few ladders became their last bit of hope. What occurred at the city gate started to happen here as well.

The kindness or evil of humans was on full display. There was a clear distinction between beauty and ugliness.

Some people used equipment or job skills to get into the city. Ye Zhongming tried to make it easy for them. He thought about saving as many as he could, so with his help, many survivors climbed up through his side of the wall.

But to maintain order, Ye Zhongming didn’t take them in. They either went down or found that faction to help. The Ying City Alliance army was still independent.

When the mutated lifeforms grouped up, they showed their vicious side. No matter how many survivors were in Cloud Port, lacking the city's elites, they were defenseless against the attacks.

One reason was that they were weak. They lacked organization, and they weren’t united. The numbers disadvantage was another reason. The area around the center of the city had 200 thousand survivors. After holding on for 2 hours, they collapsed.

Most of them died. Only a group relied on some methods or luck to break through and escape.

“We saw so many dead ocean beasts, but there is still no end of them. There are too many!”

Little Tiger looked at the dense ocean beasts around and felt numb.

Since Ye Zhongming established Cloud Peak, the danger they faced came from other survivors. Ye Zhongming’s rebirth gave them an advantage as compared to mutated lifeforms.

Cloud Peak’s location meant they wouldn’t face a huge group of mutated lifeforms.

The only time came from the initial zombie horde when they were just setting up, but its scale wasn’t huge. Although the losses weren’t small, it wasn’t too intense.

After the Precision Exchange Wheel, Ye Zhongming forced away Yangos and killed the zombie kings. The mutated lifeform king became the Talking Lady, who feared him. He even arranged for Red Hair to be a spy, which was why Cloud Peak didn’t have such worries anymore. The mutated lifeforms represented prey and demon crystals to them.

But it was different this time. Little Tiger finally knew what the other factions were facing. He looked at those eyes giving off killing energy and felt cold.

This was the apocalypse's main theme and the biggest danger humans faced.contemporary romance

Ye Zhongming didn’t reply to Little Tiger. He looked at the ocean beasts and the darkness in the distance.

He felt a terrifying aura getting close.

Was this the Ocean Beast Wave King?

Ye Zhongming looked and then turned to the city center. Those people gathered in the banquet hall had retreated. The battle probably ended, and the huge hole formed by that ocean snake was probably filled.

But he was unsure. When the ocean beast wave started, how many more of such lifeforms would appear in the city?

All the factions were busy. They worked with one another. Battles continued at this stage. The factions that lost their bosses were blinded by hate and were taking revenge, or rather… Trying to survive.

They knew the factions Meng Xiangjiang led wouldn’t let them live. If they fought to the death now, the pressure of the ocean beast wave might be able to benefit them.

The human heart has always been complicated. Ye Zhongming could only guess their thoughts.

But he saw many signals. The battle squads moved onto the parts of the wall to strengthen the defense. Many squads were waiting in the city and assembled below. They were ready to swap for those forces on the wall when they suffered heavy losses or were tired.

They knew the time to fight for survival was here, and no one could hide from it.

At least on the surface, it seemed like the humans were ready to defend.

“I wanted to earn some money from this trip.” Ye Zhongming sighed and felt like it wasn’t lucky. He was confident if he faced some small waves but he was facing a super ocean beast wave, which made him slightly depressed.

The ocean beasts were waiting for something and stopped a hundred meters from the city. This distance was within their attack range, but no one attacked. Many people were worried and had some hope that they would retreat.

Ye Zhongming didn’t know what the ocean beasts were doing as he thought of ways to increase his success rate… He was trading.

His target was naturally those factions on the side and those who climbed the wall. A 5000-strong team was a decent trading partner.

Ye Zhongming was doing two things. The first was to trade equipment for demon crystals, materials, or bullets. The other was to upgrade equipment to earn the fees.

Ye Zhongming planned to launch ranged attacks to reduce the number of ocean beasts. If possible, he wanted to avoid a head-on battle. After all, this was a city defense, so the safer it was, the better. Guns were the best-ranged weapons, and Ye Zhongming’s anticipation for guns increased with the Lazy Man Case.

On the other side, that battle squad called Flying Sky Ship hoped to increase the level and strength of their equipment to reduce their losses in the battle. Demon crystals weren’t as important as staying alive. If they died, the crystals would be useless.

These people witnessed the strength of a good smith. They just had to pay some fees if he had suitable materials, and he could upgrade the weapons. They had to pay some bullets to trade for decent defensive gear or weapons. There was even someone who used a skill scroll to trade for a white blade, which many people envied.

When the beasts surrounded the city wall, the crystals in Flying Sky Ship’s pocket were used up.
