Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 920: Job

“Based on orders, we are not allowed to head out. Even the intel is from the first team…”

The deputy wanted to say something, but the captain’s fierce gaze stopped him.

He kept quiet. The last person whom the captain looked at with such gazes was dead, and his body was probably decomposed.

“Do you know what it means that the third team has lost contact?”

The deputy was stunned but still replied, “Something must have happened, but we don’t know who did it. It is a bit of a stretch to say that Cloud Peak did it. The first team has been monitoring Xia Lei’s squad. Although they can’t get too close, they don’t have much movement. Then it can only be mutated lifeforms.”

He pinched his chin, “It should be a strong lifeform that could kill the third team so silently. After all, they are quite strong, too.”

This analysis made sense and was the closest answer. The truth was that the Death King Tree finished the third team. But he didn't expect the Death King Tree to be so smart, and they wouldn’t expect it to end up working with Ye Zhongming.

“Since that is the case, we aren’t safe, either. Who knows if that thing would find us? There aren’t many people in Ying City. The third team is the smallest and might not be enough for that strong lifeform.”

The captain felt like the deputy’s words were logical. Even a small, advanced mutated lifeform ate a lot; simply put, it could eat many people a meal. A few hundred people would barely be enough for a snack if it were a fellow like the level eight Zombie Ape.

Moreover, they were picky and only ate certain parts of humans, requiring a huge amount of food.

So, the third team might have four digits of warriors, but if they met such a fellow, they wouldn’t be enough.

The deputy nodded. The more humans gather together, the bigger the target they become. It was the same underground. Some monsters wouldn’t attack a single survivor or even a few dozen. But they might attack a few thousand survivors, which would be able to be full after just one hunt.

The second team fit those requirements. If that strong lifeform wasn’t full or searching for its next meal, it might look for them.

Choosing between disobeying orders or staying alive would obviously select the latter.

“Damm, if not for the organization trying the elite route and gathering all the experts into the first team, we wouldn’t be so afraid!”

The second team captain cursed. He hurriedly led the team towards the first squad. Whether or not that strong lifeform would be drawn, there wasn’t his concern. If the sky collapsed, someone would help to defend it.

“They are fighting again!”

The mutated lifeform army’s attacks hadn’t stopped. Compared to before, the focus of the battle returned to the walls.

The mutated lifeforms that had managed to enter Cloud Peak were all cleared. Large numbers of warriors were freed up and took turns resting. Every two hours, they would change shifts with those on the walls.

There were two holes in Cloud Peak’s walls, but they weren’t huge. One was the hole that Ye Zhongming made with the Soul Crushing Staff. Those ruins weren’t of any use, and both sides were having an intense battle there.

The other was the hole that the red bug caused. Although Cloud Peak killed it immediately after it showed itself, the mutated lifeforms followed it, and both sides started to consume life at that spot.

The city gate was very firm, so there was nothing wrong there. freёweɓnovel.com

Of course, the biggest problem was the numerous lifeforms that charged towards the walls. The stone pieces suffered from many hits and thus lost their defense. They couldn’t stop the mutated lifeforms who had sharp fingernails from climbing. Even if these lifeforms were a minority, there were too many of them. So, there were fights on each part of the wall. The skill light and sounds connected and never stopped.

This battle had turned into a battle of stamina and mental. Whoever was afraid first or morale weakened would lose.

This battle might last for a long time, but it might also end at the next moment.

The warriors that were resting heard that the fighting continued. Naturally, they didn’t refer to the fighting on the walls as that had been happening. They referred to the fights outside the city.

A loud battle exploded outside the city and even showed signs of scattering the mutated lifeform army. But there were too many of them, and there wasn’t a huge breakthrough.

But the city outside retreated after seeing no hope of victory. As their thinking and actions were similar, those mutated lifeforms didn’t react, and the humans retreated safely after paying a very small price.

Although the number of humans was fewer than the mutated lifeforms, they had a benefit. Apart from special jobs or skills, each person had similar speeds. So when the team moved, they could maintain a complete formation.

Mutated lifeforms were different. During their evolution process, they develop obvious tendencies.

Each specialty was something that humans couldn’t compare to. Like speed, defense, strength, reaction, etc. These caused the fastest monsters to be at the front, far in front of the other lifeforms.

Humans used this situation, making use of the high-level warriors’ control of their speed to turn to kill those speed-type lifeforms that were close. They then continued running, causing the mutated lifeform army squad to get tired and give up.

But once they gave up, the humans stopped running and started looking for a chance. Once they found a chance, they would strike, then… Continue running.

Anyways, they couldn’t catch up. Those who could be quick but weak were directly killed.

This gave those outside a clear advantage.

The warriors inside the city knew why there were so many forces outside of the city. They were envious of their brothers outside now as that battle was so straightforward. Unlike here, it was a huge risk!

Everyone also knew that this idea was from the boss. They could use this method and the overall speed gap to obtain huge rewards.

The time gap and speed gap were used well by humans.

At this moment, the mutated lifeform army took several losses before they suddenly changed their strategy.
