Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 541: limit of strengthening

During the night, although they knew that the ocean beast wave had reached a shocking number, they couldn’t see clearly. Along with the battle coming suddenly, the people in the city didn’t have a direct impression.

But when the sky lit up, when the sunlight shone on the area, everyone finally knew what they were facing.

Too many.

They were endless!

This phrase was often used during peacetime, but it was when people understood what it meant.

From the city to the area, spreading thousands of meters around, they could see various ocean beasts occupying everywhere. Even the skies had many mutated ocean birds circling and coldly staring at the hundreds of thousands of human survivors.

How many were there?

This was a question that everyone asked instinctively. Even Ye Zhongming was no exception. He asked himself, if he had to give an accurate number, what would it be?

But no one could answer.

“Boss, the Violent Lightning Turret has moved; it will be completed in half an hour.” Little Tiger reported the situation to Ye Zhongming, who was sitting in a pile of materials.

After the negotiation with Guang Yao, the Ying City Alliance moved to the side of the city gate facing the ocean. Sky Elephant Division was in charge of the side facing the land. The strongest factions started to defend the most dangerous areas.

Apart from Flying Sky Ship Squad, everyone in the city was willing to see the change.

Ye Zhongming stood up to stretch. He looked at the wider defense zone. Due to seeing the ocean beast wave, his bad mood recovered a little.

He used some time to slice the two Drill Ocean Metals.

This was not a simple matter. These two fellows were huge. Even with Ye Zhongming’s strength, he couldn’t slice them without using the Scorching Flame Technique.

Compared to Ghost Metal, it wasn’t as magical, but there was a large amount. Each set was heavier than Ghost Metal. Ye Zhongming obtained ten thousand of them.

His space equipment couldn’t fit them all, so he could only pile them on the wall for his men to take some of them.

“Zhongming.” Mo Ye walked over. After becoming an evolved, this previously cold female officer looked more out of this world. This might be because of her job.

“What is it?”

There were 200 sets of Drill Ocean Metal in front of him, and he was going to strengthen them to see how many higher-quality materials he could get.

“Everyone is finding it weird that they aren’t attacking. I think I found some reason.”

“Oh? Say it.”

Ye Zhongming’s hands didn’t stop. Two fist-sized metals merged into one. The new Drill Ocean Metal had a grey glow.

Mo Ye wasn’t surprised, but deep in her eyes, she was intrigued.

“We noticed that the number of ocean beasts is still increasing.”

Ye Zhongming’s hands stopped, “Still increasing?”

“En, not mentioning other places, just the region in front of us. It seemed like nothing changed, but in just an hour, it got much denser. For such a scale, even a bit of increase would mean a much higher number.”

Ye Zhongming listened quietly. Two hundred sets quickly became a hundred.

“However, Xia Bai, who went out to scout, sensed a few new strong auras. They should have been hiding in the ocean.”

He strengthened two grey pieces, and a much smaller Drill Ocean Metal appeared.

Such a situation was normal, but Ye Zhongming and Mo Ye were shocked when they saw its level. It skipped white and became a silver-grade piece of material.

This was the first time Ye Zhongming strengthened a silver piece of material. Apart from his job effects, this also showed how precious the Drill Ocean Metal was.

“This…” Mo Ye’s breathing got hurried. She knew how precious a silver material was. He saw Ye Zhongming quickly turn the 100 grey materials into 50 silver.

Excitement flashed in his eyes, and he carefully merged two silver pieces. He wanted to see if he could create something better.

But reality gave him a heavy blow.

The strengthening failed, and his face turned white.

Mo Ye held his arm and asked with concern, “Are you okay?”

Ye Zhongming shook his head. He was fine, but his mental energy suffered a blow.

It seemed like this was his limit. If he wanted to get stronger materials, his Glory Smith job had to continue to upgrade.

“Anyways, we have a way out. If the situation is bad, we can retreat. Tell our men not to worry.”

Mo Ye nodded, but she was still worried, “But if they reach a certain number, there might be a change in nature. I am afraid of our losses.”

Ye Zhongming wiped the sweat off his head and saw her frown. He slapped her shoulder, “This is the apocalypse; losses are unavoidable, so don’t think too much. Their numbers are increasing, but we are getting stronger. Let me make a good piece of equipment for you.”

Mo Ye looked at Ye Zhongming and blinked, “Mr Ye, even if you make something good for me, you don’t have to wipe your sweat on my clothes, right?”

Ah? Ye Zhongming was stunned, and then he smiled in embarrassment. He didn’t notice.

Mo Ye scoffed before telling him she was waiting for her equipment before leaving.

Ye Zhongming didn’t lie to her. He was planning to make something good. This confidence came from the three sets of Holy Army Coats and the 50 silver materials.

He took one grey set out and studied this famous equipment. He was impressed by the person in the resistance zone who could craft such a set.

It was really good.

“Holy Army Coat (Pass), basic three-piece set, Holy Army Upper Armor (Grey), Holy Army Ice Breaking Lower Armor (Grey), Holy Army Silent Battle Boots (Grey).”
