Chapter 248: Cloud Peak Defence part 3
“The best shooting area would be from here.” Sha Sha glanced at the moving horde and decided to attack.
Young Master Yun’s Hungry Tiger Cavalry was in charge of shooting from the front, while Sha Sha’s team attacked from the back. She would weaken the horde until they broke through the third defense line. Then they would move around to the door of Cloud Peak and join the final defense.
Many of her men were killing the zombies on the brink of death, and some tried to take the crystals. But there weren’t many. Be it Sha Sha or Xia Bai, neither cared about them.
Such things were unavoidable. If you wanted an outside faction to be the leading force, they wouldn't risk their lives. So Ye Zhongming could only focus his main force on the horde while having others support him.
He could only use Sha Sha’s team to disturb and attack from the back. Compared to the Hungry Tiger Cavalry, Ye Zhongming trusted Sha Sha, whom he had some contact with.
“Boss.”
A hand wiped off the blade with blood and looked at Xia Bai and Yellow Ball, “There are at least 3-4 thousand demon crystals, maybe more. That is 30-40 potions, why not we...”
He didn’t complete his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
They agreed to help Cloud Peak in return for ten one-star potions. The crystals here were enough for them to get at least 30 potions. The difference was huge. With these 30 potions, Sha Sha’s team could grow much stronger. Even in Ying City, where there were experts, they would be above average even if they weren’t the strongest.
Since that was the case, why remain here and fight? Why not just dig the crystals and leave? Cloud Peak would have to face the zombie horde, and they wouldn’t have time to care about them.
If they didn’t manage to defend, then their group wouldn’t have any worries.
The only problem would be the ghost-faced woman and the level-two evolved dog. But if they wanted to leave, they wouldn’t dare to block them. In front of a few dozen evolved, even two two-star evolved weren’t too much of a threat.
Sha Sha was calm and looked at the captain-level people in her team, “Is that what all of you think?”
The few captains looked at one another. Apart from the person who suggested it, the other two nodded. Two more looked solemn.
“Our boss has agreed. If this spreads, it will affect our reputation.” A captain said. He then looked at Xia Bai, “However, the risk is huge. We are only looking at the near term. What if they win? They would get a large number of crystals, and they can develop a batch of evolved quickly. We would become their enemies.”
The captain, who suggested the plan, nodded.
Sha Sha sighed, “Remember to follow your promises, don’t have such thoughts.”
They looked at each other and didn’t make a sound.
“Unhappy?” Sha Sha was helpless, “If we are in trouble, can we take 20 one-star potions out for other factions to help?”
“Er, this, really no.” One of them said.
“So.” She pointed at Cloud Peak, “They are really strong. Not only can they take out a large amount of potions, they have huge amounts of ammo, and we got some of them. Hear the gunshots; you want to steal their demon crystals? Do you want to die?”
Everyone realized the gunshots didn’t end, meaning they had been shooting for a long time.
The face of the captain that suggested turned ashen white, and he knew that he had nearly made a colossal mistake.
“Also, do you not see the back spots on that dog’s crystal? It is a pet that is about to reach level three. A person with such a pet, how strong do you think he is?”
“That woman that is disfigured instantly killed Big Kai. Including me, who else has confidence in killing Big Kai?”
Sha Sha said thoughtfully, “Although it is the apocalypse, we must be honest. That would have huge benefits. Trust me.”
“We trust you, boss!” Everyone said. n0vELusb.c0m
“Then okay, let’s begin. Tell the brothers to focus.”
Xia Bai’s ears twitched, and then her cold smile disappeared.
The attacks from Sha Sha’s team were very effective. With enough ammo, their attacks could kill a bunch of the horde.
Although they weren’t as intense, they killed as many. They attacked when they wanted and left when they wanted. This made their attacks more flexible. With Xia Bai and Yellow Ball here, when level two zombies appeared, the two would quickly kill them. That viciousness and sharpness stunned Sha Sha. The person who suggested breaking the contract was sweating profusely too.
Of course, Xia Bai wouldn’t let the level two crystals go. That included those that the first defense line had killed.
Two hours after the battle started, a flare was fired, which summoned Sha Sha and the others to the main entrance.
The team stopped and wrapped around from the other side.
........................................................................
The second and third defense lines were lost in just two hours.
The second line was still okay and held on for a while. They retreated similarly to the first and even gained a much better effect.
But when everyone wanted to defend the third line, the horde attacked like crazy. Over 300 level-two zombies charged at the front!
There were even three level-three zombies. This caused the third line to be lost in just five minutes, and the survivors were forced back.
Close to a hundred were injured or dead. Especially those who tried to stop those high-level zombies. Some evolved were made to hold up the rear, so over 30 evolved died!
Twenty were from Cloud Peak, and ten were from Hungry Tiger Cavalry.
These losses caused both Ye Zhongming and Young Master Yun to feel heart pained.
These zombies were going all out.
They spent the most time constructing defenses in front of the main gate. Many heavy vehicles were on the main path, and there were only small gaps between them. As long as the zombies pass through here, they would cause huge losses.
The survivors found their positions. They heard the horde getting close, and everyone knew that the final battle was here!
