Apocalypse Gachapon
Chapter 937: Preparing in advance

The battle continued for another five days before coming to an end. The humans chased the mutated lifeforms far away. If not for new zombie hordes or beast groups appearing, they might have continued chasing for two days.

Of course, their gains were enormous.

The Posthumous warriors followed the orders and brought back all the corpses. The bodies were piled up in front of the villa according to the level for Cloud Peak to handle.

They dug the crystals, dealt with the materials, and sliced the meat. Those bits they didn’t want were burnt near the farmland, and their ashes were scattered into the dirt.

Ye Zhongming mentioned that the ashes were great fertilizers. By feeding the ground, they could plant various crops on a large scale.

During the few days of fighting, they clashed with other factions, and there were some small-scale battles. But most of the warriors were Posthumous warriors. They were more united after coming to Earth. When they were hit, they would call for help, and several tribes would work together to fight. The Posthumous people suffered a few hundred losses over the past few days but wiped out more than ten factions.

Cloud Peak knew about this, but they didn’t make a sound. The other factions understood that Ye Zhongming allowed it. Thus, they became more well-behaved. They would pick the small groups that Cloud Peak missed or left aside. Actually, that was already enough for them to earn huge riches.

They had gained too much this time, so they had to calculate their exact earnings, which would take some time. But Ye Zhongming had started to pay out the factions that helped.

This time, Cloud Peak was very generous. Apart from the agreed benefits, he would even give extra rewards. He would give those who needed potions and weapons to those who needed them. Although the factions suffered huge losses in the battle, the compensation exceeded that by a lot. Some curious people estimated that each squad gained around three to four times more than Cloud Peak promised.

This increased their reputation to another level.

To be able to survive the attacks of two million mutated lifeform troops and turn the tides. Now, they were very generous and stuck to their promise.

Although many factions were independent in the apocalypse, as no one was willing to be managed by others, to a certain extent, a region would have a few stronger factions. The smaller factions would rely on these big factions. They would use each other, and of course, the smaller factions would lose out a little.

In the past, Cloud Peak’s management region wasn’t small, but they didn’t accept other factions. Ying City was already enough to satisfy Cloud Peak as a resource base.

After all, Ye Zhongming often sent things back from outside.

But this time, using this payment chance, Ye Zhongming appeared and silently hinted at accepting people to rely on Cloud Peak. Many factions were tempted.

Such a faction that followed rules, kept promises, and was so strong. They were worth listening to.

Look at those from Ying City. Many of those factions had merged into Cloud Peak and were about to turn into official members. Their evolution potions, weapons, job skills, and scrolls were all free. When they went out to fight, even support potions were distributed. Rumors spread that there was also a golden-grade training device!

Everyone wanted to join such a faction. If they relied on Cloud Peak now, maybe they could officially join after a year or two!

After the news was released, many factions were tempted. After the official conditions were released, those people fully relaxed.

The conditions Cloud Peak provided were much better than those of other places!

You didn’t need to pay tax unless you entered Puxing Town to do business. You won’t be used as cannon fodder or free labor; everything would be paid. Although you were forced to fight when Cloud Peak needed help, you would be given a fair rate. Once you fought for Cloud Peak, you could even purchase things like potions at Cloud Peak’s official trading area in Puxing Town at a member’s price.

How was this a subordinate? They were pretty much just working together.

What did the factions have to do? Provide wheels, evolution lifeforms, outside faction, etc. news, and they would be paid a fair price. Cloud Peak would be given priority to purchase things they wanted to sell, and they would be paid the market rate. It was okay, even if you didn’t want to sell it to them.

Also, you had to provide rooms for Cloud Peak forces that passed their territory and would be paid for that.

If you didn’t agree to those conditions, you were stupid.

Because of that, many factions stayed in Ying City. Those who were slightly further away noticed that Ying City didn’t have space for them, so they set up shop directly outside of Ying City. This helped to increase Cloud Peak’s territory.

Very quickly, Ying City and the surrounding region that had emptied because of the mutated lifeform army attack became busy once again. It was even more prosperous than before. After all, apart from the benefits, the threat of mutated lifeforms here had been reduced. One’s life was much safer. As for hunting, you just had to go slightly further. It was better than the chance of being killed when sleeping.

People with foresight were all impressed with Cloud Peak. They used a fair agreement to make the area around Cloud Peak prosperous. Ying City again became their barrier, and Puxing Town wouldn’t become cold because of the attack. Cloud Peak also further increased their rate of getting money.

Many factions had their own territories in the apocalypse. But apart from those big factions, the smaller factions were just in small bases. After deciding to be under Cloud Peak, they moved near Ying City and started to fulfill their duties.

Cloud Peak also released two missions that paid decently.

One was to provide information about the position and rewards of nearby level five wheels. The second was the position of all lifeforms level six and above.

Such a mission was just a lackey’s job. The moment the mission was released, the surrounding factions were shocked.

Was a level five wheel’s position and rewards worth a grey piece of equipment? Three-star potion for level six wheel? White equipment for level seven? Three three-star potions for level-eight wheel? Four-star potion for level-nine wheel?

Weren’t they just giving free money?

Two hours after the mission was released, someone went to get the rewards. They were people from Ying City previously. They understood the city and reported over a dozen wheels and a strong mutated lifeform’s position.

After Cloud Peak sent people to confirm, they distributed the rewards. This person left with a crate of evolution potions and a dozeen equipment.

This set a good example. Those who wanted to wait and see immediately went to replace wheels. One wheel could only give one reward, and someone else would run off if you were late.

All of a sudden, Cloud Peak was extremely busy.

Liu Zhenghong exited the lab to get some fresh air and went to ask Ye Zhongming about it. Cloud Peak’s members would be able to do this if they had time, so why waste the resources?

Ye Zhongming was solemn. He said that one reason was to get the hearts of those people. Another was that, not far in the future, Cloud Peak might have to face the challenge of a level nine expert. They had to prepare in advance.
