Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 536: Greed

The battlefield was silent.

It was silent.

Be it humans or the ocean beasts, both sides stopped. Those vicious ocean lifeforms came like a wave and retreated like a wave.

Even the few parts of the wall that were about to be broken into retreated.

The death of the two ocean beasts was like a signal for the ocean beast wave to retreat.

It was only temporary. They were a thousand meters away before they stopped.

Ocean beasts still surrounded Cloud Port.

Ye Zhongming’s beating heart finally calmed down.

When the ocean giant fired a Deep Cold Laser before it died, Ye Zhongming was sweating profusely.

If it hit Cloud Peak’s team, the outcome… It was something that Ye Zhongming didn’t dare to imagine.

Fortunately, it missed.

“Ah Yang, protect those two pillars. Xiao Min, bring people to collect their blood.”

Since he killed the ocean giant, he wouldn’t give up on the rewards. He gave them the order to clean up the battlefield. At the same time, he used the badge’s communication ability to call Little Tiger to bring people over.

Ye Zhongming came to the first ocean giant killed and started dealing with its four horns.

As he had never dealt with such a thing before, he was careful not to destroy it. At the same time, he used his collecting and refining skills to get the most perfect horns.

Conversely, Ah Yang led people to tie the two Drill Ocean Metals together. It was so heavy that Ah Yang and the others were shocked.

If not for Brother Ye and Brother Shengyuan blocking it and it hitting one of them, even the defense of white equipment would not have been enough. One would be dead if not badly injured.

Xiao Min and her group used materials they found or items they carried to collect the ocean giant’s blood.

“Zhongming, someone is coming.”

Park Xiuying healed Shengyuan while looking out for Ye Zhongming. She heard the footsteps and reminded Ye Zhongming.

Ye Zhongming lifted his head and continued to dig the four horns around his height. He had already dealt with three of them.

“That, Boss Ye.”

Hearing that term, many Cloud Peak members maintained their wariness. They aimed their crystal weapons at those who came. They knew this weapon was a massive threat to everyone after that battle.

“Is there a problem?”

Ye Zhongming smiled coldly. He didn’t need to think and knew what these people wanted to do.

Meng Xiangjiang cursed Guang Yao. He told him to say such offensive things.

“It is like this, although these two big fellows died to Cloud Peak, but after all, other people played a part, look…”

Ye Zhongming was expressionless, but he sighed. People were just greedy. Although they didn’t know what the ocean giant was, they knew each part of an evolved lifeform was valuable. Especially since these two should be the highest level that humans could get. Just the two level-seven crystals were enough for people to fight.

Under such a temptation, they were still greedy even after Cloud Peak showed they could kill the two ocean beasts. They relied on their numbers advantage to try to get something.

After dealing with the last horn, Ye Zhongming carefully pulled the bone base. As its head was too big, Ye Zhongming needed two hands to pull the base.

This thing didn’t have a level, but it could be used. Each horn represented an element. Wind, Fire, Water, and Lightning energy circled it. Ye Zhongming sensed they were absorbing the four elements from the air around them.

Seeing Ye Zhongming pull out something the size of a room, many survivors gathered below the walls and moved forward.

Guang Yao’s greed couldn’t be hidden, but he hesitated and stopped his men from shooting.

It was not a good time to have an internal war. Although he didn’t have a good impression of Ye Zhongming, he wasn’t stupid and knew what was the right thing to do. He could pressure Cloud Peak but wouldn’t fight them. That would be pushing the humans to hell. The ocean beasts didn’t retreat.

But many Cloud Port people didn’t think that way. They thought about stealing such a thing. They looked at one another and got ready.

Ye Zhongming looked at Little Tiger that appeared in his sight. He pressed on one of the horns, and it fired a laser much shorter than the one the ocean giant fired.

A most obvious faction was hit, and many turned into ice statues.

The Cloud Port evolved that wanted to charge forwards retreated, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Ye Zhongming smiled in disdain. People were like that; they used their own goals to measure the actions of others. If others did something they didn’t expect, they would think that others were wrong.

If one switched sides, they would be more vicious than him.

“What are you looking at? Waiting for me to shoot another one?” Ye Zhongming rubbed the horns and looked down on them. He wouldn't mind killing them if not for his fear of the ocean wave like Guang Yao.

Greed could only be stopped by blood and life. Moreover, humans have bad habits. They didn’t fear humans like they feared mutated lifeforms.

“You…”

Someone wanted to say something, but people beside them stopped him. They turned their heads, and a team of thousands held the weapons used to kill the ocean giant and looked at them coldly.

Guang Yao sucked in a deep breath and took two steps forward.

“Mr Ye.” Guang Yao bit his teeth and was not used to this situation where they were enemies before but had to negotiate now.

“When you are free, can we find a place to talk?”

Ye Zhongming squinted his eyes and nodded.

Guang Yao got a reply. He reluctantly looked at the ocean giant bodies and brought his men back into the city.

Although the others were unwilling, they had to go when they saw the main person leave. There were other spoils of war that they had to collect.

Ye Zhongming looked at them leave, and he placed the horns aside. He started to collect the three eyes. But when he was about to slice, he stopped. He looked at the giant’s head and exclaimed.
