Apocalypse Gachapon
Chapter 1005: Intelligent Mother Wheel

Sheikha Saeed was speechless for a long time when he looked at the images that the Exquisite Floating Ball sent.

The person who had stolen his Star Elf, occupied his base, suppressed him, and took half his men. That person was actually his brother. The two of them had the same father and were competitors since they were young.

But Sheikha Saeed was still silent when he saw the images. Because he could tell that the humans weren’t in a good situation. Many people had started to break out from the various directions.

They were fleeing.

If one fought against other humans in the apocalypse, you might be able to survive if you were willing to give payment. It might be a sacrifice of dignity, soul, or some luck. It didn’t matter if you survived as a human or a dog.

But facing mutated lifeforms, living became a luxury. These lifeforms didn’t accept surrender. They would only consume you and turn you into their evolution energy.

Now, the targets in the camp were as such.

“Ye…”

“I won’t save…”

Ye Zhongming interrupted him. He knew that Sheikha Saeed wanted Cloud Peak to help.

But there were at least ten thousand desert monsters. Cloud Peak could defeat them, but they would have to pay a price. Ye Zhongming didn’t think there was a reason for him to decide. Even the Star Elf wasn’t worth it.

Moreover, the person with the Star Elf would die. It wasn’t too late to wait to interfere when that person died.

Sheikha Saeed pinched his fingers and said, “They are my most elite subordinates, they… I know that you might not understand our culture, but the truth is, they are also my men.”

Ye Zhongming raised his brow and continued to look at the images.

This meant that he rejected the proposal.

What the apocalypse had was people; what it lacked was people.

To a certain extent, Ye Zhongming didn’t treat anyone other than his subordinates as human.

This might be an after-effect from his past ten years.

Seeing Ye Zhongming being silent, Sheikha Saeed sighed. He knew that what he gave to Ye Zhongming was already his limit. The remaining ones were things he had to keep to save his life. He couldn’t get Ye Zhongming to help now without promising anything else.

He could only send people to gather those escaping troops to try to maintain some strength.

This human camp was huge. It had been attacked an uncertain time ago and showed signs of collapsing. But you could still see over five thousand people fighting. But their average levels were low, and they couldn’t hold up against the desert monsters.

But the humans who knew there was no way to compromise with the desert monsters would show extraordinary strength when they realized there was no way out. They were going all out to cause huge casualties to the enemies.

Ye Zhongming looked at the images, and he had many questions.

Why did these desert monsters attack the camp? Were they zombies or other mutated lifeforms?

Didn’t Sheikha Saeed say that these monsters didn’t move through the desert? What Ye Zhongming faced also proved that point.

But what was going on?

When the desert monsters appeared, West Asians avoided those fake wheels when they built their bases. This meant they should be far from the monsters, so how could they be sneak attacked?

Ye Zhongming thought about it and had a guess.

Was it… The Star Mother Wheel?

If that was the case, then… This special wheel had intellect?

This guess caused Ye Zhongming to shiver; even the high temperature in the desert didn’t help.

“It is Haji…”

Sheikha Saeed saw a familiar figure. That person was surrounded by thousands of warriors who were protecting him as he broke out in a direction. This person was Sheikha Saeed’s brother.

Ye Zhongming locked onto this person because an elemental elf was floating on his shoulder.

The Star Elf was brighter than the Earth Elf. It was pale blue, but it had purple and yellow patterns on its body. It didn’t have a shield like the Earth Elf, but it had a star on its head.

This Star Elf might be brighter than the Earth Elf, but Ye Zhongming felt like it wasn’t as intelligent as his fellow.

It probably had to do with one being temporary.

The desert monster continued to attack this fleeing team.

There were probably only a few hundred meters from the center of the camp to the edge. But this distance was covered in human and mutated lifeform corpses. The team that protected Haji’s squad went from a few thousand to only a thousand people.

Ye Zhongming suddenly stood up and ordered the team to prepare to fight.

He knew that this was the right time. The human and desert monsters were fighting. The gap was huge, and if this continued, it would be a one-sided massacre.

Cloud Peak warriors completed their attack formations quickly and started to shift over.

In just that short while, Haji’s squad dropped from a thousand to only three hundred. He was in despair.

Suddenly, he saw a foreign team in full green equipment appearing near him. They were holding weird guns.

He was delighted. No matter if they were friend or foe, he charged over.

But the desert monsters wouldn’t let him go. Haji was their target today.

Many mutated lifeforms were attacking them, and they didn’t care about their own lives. In just that short while, only a hundred people remained.

These people were experts that he nurtured.

At this time, Haji’s squad was a hundred meters from them. But then, a giant sand bubble appeared from the ground, and a desert armor bug jumped out. It was like a small building, its two long feelers thrust towards Haji.

The few subordinates blocked. They wanted to dodge, but it was too quick and instantly pierced their bodies.

Although Haji reacted and placed a green stone shield in front of him, the feeler still pierced through it and into his chest.

Then, the bug went back into the ground, and those people on its feelers were dragged down, too.
