Apocalypse Gachapon
Chapter 878.5- Ying City is lost (2)

“They have retreated from Five Gold Street!”

A guy covered in blood ran over and said towards Sha Sha, who had a solemn expression.

He wouldn’t speak to her like that at usual times. She was Cloud Peak’s spokesperson, Ye Zhongming’s eyes and ears. Everyone would try to get in her good books and definitely wouldn’t shout at her.

But what happened during these two days meant that no one from Ying City cared.

Two days ago, when Cloud Peak was covered by red mist, Sha Sha started organizing her people to delay and wipe out those mutated lifeforms. She didn’t know what had happened, but she executed the order.

Things were okay at the start. Although everyone didn’t know what was happening, Cloud Peak told them about it and gave them the highest rewards. As long as they helped Cloud Peak stop the mutated lifeforms or entered the mountain to help defend, they would receive payment!

What was Cloud Peak’s highest reward? That included evolution potions, a set of average equipment, and a job or skill scroll!

This meant that after this battle, those who gained rewards would get a level higher and could at least get five white pieces of equipment and a new job or ability.

They would get much stronger.

The higher their levels, the more attractive this bounty was. When you reached a certain level, evolution potions were more challenging to obtain. Especially levels four and five evolved when they got the news; they headed to Cloud Peak immediately.

Everyone knew Cloud Peak was anxious and even ordered the surrounding factions to assist. They mentioned that if they didn’t help, they would be cleared out after all this. It had to be an extreme danger for Cloud Peak to say such things.

But these evolved weren’t afraid. They were already used to the danger and confident in Cloud Peak.

Time after time, it has been proven that people who trust Cloud Peak will be rewarded. Those who don’t trust them will regret it.

So, over 60% of those in Ying City rushed to Cloud Peak. The remaining ones weren’t persuaded by Sha Sha to stay but because they were too weak for Cloud Peak.

Some didn’t want to help, but not many.

But the truth gave Ying City a heavy blow.

A huge evolved lifeform army was also heading to Cloud Peak!

All the zombies, mutated animals, mutated plants that could move, beasts, etc., headed towards Cloud Peak. There was only one path to Cloud Peak, so both sides had to clash.

The battle’s scale was small initially, and many people didn’t want to waste time on these mutated lifeforms. The huge hordes weren’t here yet, so the people just wanted to get to Cloud Peak.

But the battle between different races wasn’t judged by common sense. Once you saw blood, you would go crazy.

The battle’s scale continued to expand. That night, it reached a climax that has lasted until today.

As Ye Zhongming and Talking Lady suppressed them, humans wouldn’t hunt zombies at scale, and the zombies wouldn’t sneak attack them at scale. So, the battles between humans and zombies were controlled at below four digits. There were more humans and zombies attacking other lifeforms.

This made the evolved and zombies the two biggest groups in Ying City.

This was good for survivors. They could hunt in a safe environment to get more crystals. The zombies weren’t happy. Once other mutated lifeforms didn’t dare to show themselves, their evolution speed slowed. They would occasionally eat humans, but it didn’t solve the problem. But as the two zombie kings suppressed them, they didn’t dare resist.

But now that the two zombie kings had left, although it was temporary, and the various zombie leaders had ordered them to defend their positions, the red mist made those orders useless.

Their only thought was to consume food, and their hearts craved fresh blood.

All orders were tossed to the back of their minds. When they saw humans that blocked their path, they didn’t hold back and attacked.

Humans wouldn’t allow themselves to be free food, and they fought back.

Two days and many of them ran into Cloud Peak. Just look at the defending troops on the walls and you could see 20 thousand people.

This wasn’t much if you compared it to the scale of Ying City. Ying City wasn’t far from Cloud Peak. With the speed of evolved, they wouldn’t need much time to arrive. It took just two days, so this number was actually small.

More of them were blocked on the roads and were using all sorts of methods to fight. Some wanted to get to Cloud Peak, some wanted to run and avoid this problem, and some were just fighting to survive as they were trapped.

Ying City wasn’t safe either. It wasn’t safe just because the Ying City zombies had left. More mutated lifeforms from other areas rushed over and wiped out Ying City. Anything that tried to stop them was crushed, whether humans or structures.

Sha Sha led tens of thousands of people to resist. But as compared to how easy it was yesterday, there were more mutated lifeforms today. They slowly lacked resistance, and a portion of the survivors were sacrificed.

The only street firmly defended was lost, and they faced a choice.

Should they continue to defend or retreat and try to break out?

Sha Sha took a few deep breaths.

“We… Break out!”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They didn’t have the confidence to continue defending, as there were too many mutated lifeforms. There were only 10-20 thousand here; even if there were 200 thousand, one wouldn’t be able to defend.

“But we must break out with purpose. We can’t give up on Cloud Peak!” Sha Sha bit her teeth and looked at the various leaders. Apart from Sister Lei’s team that isn’t in Cloud Peak, two more squads aren’t there. We split into three paths and inform these teams to return to Cloud Peak. We will listen to their instructions on what to do after.”

Sha Sha said the three directions. They listened and split the groups before breaking out in their own directions.

As the final faction in Ying City retreated, the mutated lifeform army could not be stopped. They quickly reached the path to Cloud Peak. The humans there collapsed. In just two hours, the lifeforms that were pushing forward were under Cloud Peak’s walls.

A life-and-death battle had begun.
