Chapter 591: Destroyed civilisation
The cooperation between humans and beasts seemed weird, but it was expected.
Life will always find its way.
Humans always wracked their brains to get things that were good for them. During peacetime, they would do so for gold and power. In the apocalypse, they would do it for evolution potions and weapons.
Mutated lifeforms were the same. The law of the jungle made sense no matter the period.
In that situation, nothing was impossible.
When mutated lifeforms got stronger and reached the top of the food chain to be equal to humans, they weren't just beasts when they had their intellect. They were very close to humans in certain areas, apart from their bodies looking different.
To many evolved, this cooperation seemed sudden and unbelievable. But it wasn't surprising to Ye Zhongming, who lived for ten years in his last life.
Based on what he knew, humans and mutated lifeforms worked together in a few famous battles to challenge even stronger monsters. Humans or lifeforms worked together to attack some human bases. Many different things happened, which caused many shocking situations.
But survivors slowly adapted to such a situation. Since they could be unscrupulous to get what they wanted, why couldn’t they work with mutated lifeforms?
Ye Zhongming didn’t feel bad about this sort of cooperation.
As long as it didn’t touch his bottom line.
Moreover, the ocean had many treasures. This was a popular phrase for survivors. Now that he had such a good chance, he wouldn’t let it go.
Of course, although they agreed to work together, it didn’t mean that Ye Zhongming stopped being wary of the Pliosaurus. From its conditions, you could tell that the Pliosaurus didn’t care about its subordinates’ lives. It only cared if it could get stronger. Even the level seven lifeforms were chess pieces for it.
What did it mean to clear the obstacles for Ye Zhongming? The ocean beasts would kill the other humans, blocking Ye Zhongming and Cloud Peak. How to kill? It could only send stronger beasts to challenge and win those survivors, and then… Let Cloud Peak kill them.
One could say that it used its subordinates’ lives to trade for what it wanted.
Was it cruel? But this was the apocalypse. This was the world of mutated lifeforms.
When such things happened to them, they didn’t have the moral lines humans had. As the apocalypse advanced, such things would happen to humans. It would become more common.
Civilization would be destroyed.
Or rather, it would be replaced by a gory form of civilization.
It didn’t matter if one was willing or not.
After confirming the cooperation, Ye Zhongming didn’t hesitate to select ten Cloud Peak warriors to fight.
This was what Ying City and Sky Elephant Division wanted.
They agreed to work with Cloud Peak, but anyone who says the huge death rate would hesitate. It was the best that Cloud Peak chose to send their troops now.
“You aren’t letting me go?”
Guang Yao didn’t want to send his other subordinates to die, but he was confident in his strength. Moreover, some rewards on the level five wheel tempted him, so he wanted to gamble.
The other factions in China feared Cloud Peak’s seven stars evolved and their purple equipment, but Sky Elephant Division didn’t, as both sides were working together.
But Ye Zhongming’s obstruction caused his expression to change. To him, it seemed Ye Zhongming was breaking their partnership and planning to solo all the rewards.
Ye Zhongming was quite frustrated. After all, it wasn’t easy to explain. He couldn’t tell him that he had agreed with the level eight Pliosaurus to give it the five mutated lifeform rewards. What if you got the reward and didn’t trade it to me?
Guang Yao might not believe him; even if he got the reward, you couldn’t force him to trade it.
“If you can promise to trade me the mutated lifeform items, I won’t stop you.”
Even if he felt that Ye Zhongming and Cloud Peak were strong, Guang Yao and Sky Elephant Division had their pride. When they heard those words, Little Xiu couldn’t help but laugh.
“Ye, don’t think you are the boss just because you have two purple pieces of equipment. You don’t have control over us.”
Ye Zhongming looked at Little Xiu and didn’t speak. He turned back to Guang Yao.
Even a fool could see the unhappiness on the Cloud Peak core members when they heard Little Xiu speak to Boss Ye like that. Their gazes toward her became more unfriendly.
“You feel the same way?”
Guang Yao hesitated and then nodded slowly. Little Xiu scoffed and raised her chin.
Ye Zhongming nodded and didn’t say anything. He headed to West Asia to tell Shiekha about his thoughts.
Although the West Asians weren’t happy with what Ye Zhongming did, they thought about the cooperation, and after discussing it, they agreed with his suggestion. If things went smoothly and they got what he wanted, they would trade it with him for a reasonable price.
After receiving their promise, he left. But he knew that, be it Guang Yao or the West Asians, their chances of spinning the wheel were low.
When they saw Ye Zhongming lead nine Cloud Peak warriors to fight, many people who had some thoughts gave up.
The ocean beasts sent over a hundred high-level forces, and that caused the humans to be speechless.
Guang Yao sighed and still chose to fight. Apart from Cloud Peak and him, 15 others fought. Among them were 7 Japanese, 4 Koreans, and one from India, Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam.
Ye Zhongming looked at the confident Japanese and Koreans and didn’t know where their pride came from.
The challenge began under such a weird atmosphere.
A level-five beast headed down and roared toward the humans.
“Zhongming, be careful of the Japanese.”
As they were working together, Cloud Peak would be the last. When Ye Zhongming and the group were waiting, Park Xiuying suddenly said to him.
“Out of those few that are sent, I feel uncomfortable. I am unsure who it is, but you must be careful.”
Park Xiuying explained.
She didn’t pay much attention previously, but when the Japanese walked out, she felt terrified for some reason. When she saw Ye Zhongming head down, she had a bad feeling.
Those Japanese had a power that made her feel uncomfortable; were they planning to use it on him?
The challenge that seemed safe and easy because of the cooperation suddenly had a few uncertain factors.
