Apocalypse Gachapon
Chapter 1063: Other team

“Is it here?”

Lu Yi led his group and looked at this small village hidden in the greenery. He asked his subordinate.

“That is the news we received.” The subordinate confirmed before replying.

As the person in charge of the merchant squad, Lu Yi also had a strong battle squad. As he was in charge of building relationships with others and was often outside his faction territory, the level of his squad wasn’t low.

If you looked down on them because of the nature of their work, you would often pay a heavy price.

From the numbers alone, they had over two thousand people. This number was similar to some medium-sized factions. Moreover, their equipment was better than Cloud Peak’s average level.

This was normal. After all, they faced more dangerous situations than those battle squads active near Cloud Peak. They had to face mutated lifeforms and other humans who were jealous of their riches.

Cloud Peak was even more famous than other merchant squads because people knew that they left with many potions and good equipment, and on their way back, they would have many demon crystals and various good items.

Riches would tempt the heart, and under such huge temptations, not every faction could maintain their respect for Cloud Peak, and they would often do some rash things. So they had to be strong.

Of course, their rashness would have to be punished. When they were robbed, they would never hold back and would kill those who they could kill.

That could send fear into the hearts of people who were tempted.

It had been a period since Lu Yi headed out, and he received an order a few days back that sent him to this place.

“The First team enters, the second and third teams cover, and the rest defend the caravan.” Lu Yi gave the orders. Nine hundred people split into three batches and entered the village ahead.

After a few dozen minutes, a few warriors returned to inform that it was safe inside.

Lu Yi led the team into the village.

It was said to be a village, but the structure inside was really good, and it was actually quite famous in the surrounding environment. It had a large stone gate, and the flats were rows of connected two-story apartments. One could tell that this place was very green before the apocalypse, and one could now see many flowers and grass.

It wasn’t big. There were only eight rows, each with 10-12 apartments. There were around a hundred families.

“Uncle Lu, come over and take a look.”

A team captain ran over and asked Lu Yi to follow him to a place. Lu Yi found it weird and instructed the others to clear this village and set up a sentry. He then followed the captain to a villa.

Before he entered, he sniffed something bad and became wary.

The moment he walked in, he saw something that made him frown.

There were many corpses stacked in the center of the big hall. The bodies were burnt into ash, and the terrible smell was from this.

“There are roughly 200 people. Although the burns are bad, we can still tell that those people were killed and then shifted here to burn.”

Hearing what the captain said, Lu Yi looked at the surroundings and the roof but didn’t spot any fire marks.

“It should be a controllable flame.”

The first team captain explained.

Lu Yi nodded and said nothing, but he had a thought.

He was also a core Cloud Peak member who Ye Zhongming trusted. He used his methods to create huge wealth for Cloud Peak and Ye Zhongming.

So, he knew many things that other members didn’t. Lu Yi knew what good things Ye Zhongming had with him.

Ye Zhongming wasn’t a dictator. Especially in areas he wasn’t good at, after getting things he didn’t need, he would discuss with Xia Lei, Lu Yi, and the others. Those Cloud Peak members who needed the item could trade for it.

Lu Yi had seen many good things, some even in his space equipment.

When he looked at the corpses, he suddenly thought of a scroll, one that tempted him and that he wanted to trade for something good.

Flame Angel.

Ye Zhongming brought back two precious scrolls. One was Black Halo Shield, which he used, and the other was this job scroll.

This was a unique job scroll that was very powerful. It had both AOE and solo skills, and when upgraded to the highest grade, you could turn into a flame body, which made you immune to both water and ice.

Lu Yi said that as long as he got the scroll, he was confident in trading it for a seven-star potion from a big faction.

But he remembered clearly that Ye Zhongming rejected that suggestion.

Lu Yi could only sigh.

When he saw these corpses, he thought of that job and had a guess.

“These should be… Chameleon, Uncle Lu…”

“Stop!” Lu Yi stared at the kid that he had nurtured, “You shouldn’t talk and comment about some things. Why? It involves killing? Do you know what happened to these people? You shouldn’t treat your thoughts as the reality, do you understand!”

Because of his age, he rarely got angry, but when he did, his aura was very strong, and that caused the first team captain to lower his head.

“Understood, sorry, Uncle Lu.”

Lu Yi acknowledged and said, “Clear the bodies and bury them far away. Also, inform everyone not to talk about Chameleon. It isn’t something we should know about!”

“Yes!”

“Tell people to clear building 53. Secure the son platform of the Meditation Bone Demon Platform and send news back. Raise the warning level to the highest, especially toward Five Ring Money’s base. We need to send more people there. Finally… Prepare to welcome the boss.”

Lu Yi looked at the corpses being cleared and felt like his guess was right.

That scroll should belong to someone from Chameleon!

Lu Yi sighed. Unknowingly, the boss had another terrifying squad.
