Chapter 300: The tip of the apocalypse iceberg
The Poppy Wheel seemed a little restless under the bright sun.
Since the person with the level-five pet left, since the level-five evil dragon fled, the place wasn’t as exciting as usual.
But this was still the most dangerous place in Ying City.
The monster camp was gone, but the zombie and mutated animal factions were still gathered there. As time passed, there were more and more of them. Compared to when the three factions were facing off, there were even more of them now.
Two factions stood beside the wheel, a few hundred meters from one another.
The wheel wasn’t congested; on the contrary, there were many paths toward the wheel. The two factions purposely left it like this so that humans could come to spin the wheel.
Unfortunately, no one came at all.
Everyone knew that they could enter, but they wouldn’t be able to survive.
There was still a bloody scent in the air.
It happened in the morning. After the big factions prepared, they launched their attack early.
They took many ideas from Ye Zhongming, like using blood to cause chaos in the camps, using job skills, or other skills to increase their chance of success. n0Velusb.c0m
But reality kicked these Ying City elites off a cliff.
They failed. They didn’t even get the item from the material region before the two factions surrounded them. They did use the blood to cause chaos, but that chaos surrounded the people who went to spin the wheel.
The survivors who wanted to cover these people and let them escape had to flee after suffering huge losses.
The Rat King got the mutated blood. Although it didn’t evolve to level five, his strength significantly increased. He showed slight signs of breaking through, so he guarded the wheel tightly.
The zombies weren’t as lucky and only ate a few evolved. Although one was a three-star evolved, it was much weaker than the evolution blood.
“What kind of plan is that? They are all dead, all dead!’
Lei Dongbao’s temper wasn’t good. He was covered in blood when he returned to the camp, and he shouted at Old Li and Old Yuan.
“Stop grumbling. Did only you lose people? Everyone had members that are dead!” Old Li was furious, too. He thought that without the level-five dragon, things would be easier. Who knew they would still fail, which would be a complete failure? They had no chance at all.
But the wheel was too attractive. If they got an evolution potion or a good weapon, their strength would significantly increase, and future evolutions would become simpler.
Unfortunately, apart from wasting large amounts of crystals and a few hundred dead, their two tries were fruitless.
“Bosses!”
Someone ran in, and he was sweating, “Star Beauty Company left.”
“Damn. That bitch, she is leaving now?”
Everyone knew that the team had just lost, and their morale was low. Leaving was the icing on the cake, putting the entire alliance on the verge of collapse.
“Leaving is good; everyone has their desires.” Old Yuan was disappointed. Peace Country suffered huge losses before; today, a few more died. He had already thought about leaving.
Zhang Dalong stitched up the bone-deep wound on his arm and bit on the bone his subordinate passed him. He then stood up.
“I will try myself.”
He led the Ying City members and left.
Everyone was silent, and they all left. Ying City’s alliance disbanded at that moment.
This event looked like it didn’t have huge repercussions, but it greatly affected the future situation of Ying City.
Ye Zhongming naturally didn’t know that the people he was thinking about making use of were leaving this race one by one. He was now leading people in an ambush near the mutated animal faction.
“Do you remember the path?”
“Yes!”
“The flag language?”
“Remembered!”
Many of them replied, which made him relax a little.
“Remember, we will fight, so pay attention to the signals. The moment they appear, you have to follow instructions!”
“Don’t stay and fight. If someone gets bitten, then give up. Stay safe!”
Ye Zhongming was worried about the two factions around the wheel.
He did think about getting Young Master Yun to use the job skill again, but even if he succeeded, he didn’t have the money to spin the wheel. Moreover, the fewer times he used the skill, the less chance he would be exposed.
But the longer the wheel appeared, the more changes might occur. People had seen the evil dragon around the city. Ye Zhongming knew that the dragon was suspecting the truth about his pet. It was probing and also hunting to try to raise its level. This dragon would return to the wheel soon.
So Ye Zhongming had to get huge amounts of crystals.
In Ying City, this was the only place that satisfied his needs.
Thus, he targeted this place.
Although this choice terrified many small faction members, most still followed.
.
After all, Ye Zhongming gave them tremendous confidence. Ye Zhongming also evolved to level four, giving him the courage to battle the Rat King and Zombie Kings.
“Begin!”
Ye Zhongming gave the order, and the battle started instantly.
..........................................................................................
On a tall building, three people were standing side by side. The wind blew them, but their bodies didn’t move at all.
“I turned around when I heard the news and finally arrived.”
A middle-aged man in a weird white robe had his hands behind his back. He looked at the wheel and smiled.
“Scoff.” Another guy scoffed coldly, “You just go where good things exist. You went to the dungeon because there were good things there, and now you are back.”
“Haha, I am brave.”
The white-robed man said, the smile on his face disappearing, “The battle at the dungeon was intense, and we were just using numbers to kill. It is hard to imagine that people like us who got the news first would be in such a bad situation.”
The three looked at the city silently, and their expressions were solemn.
“Okay, let’s not think about this; we won’t be able to understand the apocalypse so quickly. Let’s follow the clues left by these wheels and dungeons.” The white-robed guy clapped his hands and said to the guy in the middle, “Little Nine, you were the one making the Ying City rankings; who should we work with this time?”
Little Nine was the youngest person here, but his status was higher than the two of them. He smiled before adding.
The wind blew across their heads towards the platform behind them. A formation of people with grey weapons and wearing grey equipment stood there. Killing intent surged into the sky.
The tip of the apocalypse iceberg was being revealed by an invisible hand.
