Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1854: Crucial point

Ye Zhongming’s bloodline was still within its activation period, but he did not have an entrance ceremony as effective as that of the Hawkins couple. What he had was only his usual fearlessness.

Both sides tacitly charged toward the nearest small island. On land, they could better exert their strongest combat power.

On this point, Ye Zhongming also shared the same thought. Although his people all had the Ocean King mark, they still couldn’t fully release their strength. Since today they would ultimately decide life and death, then let everyone exert their full power.

Upon reaching the island, the Hawkins couple and others frowned because the other side obviously did not intend to separate but formed a very tight formation.

What was this for?

One must know that at their level, level nine, although they no longer had the buffs from their familiar equipment, which significantly reduced the power of their skills, when a real fight broke out, the area of effect was still large. If everyone crowded together, they would inevitably suffer significant interference.

Had these guys learned some kind of team amplification skill?

Hawkins carefully recalled that the official store did sell similar products, but the price of that thing was so high that even the person ranked first couldn’t afford it. Ye Zhongming and the others couldn’t possibly have obtained it.

Then what was the purpose of posing like this? To show unity?

They naturally didn’t know that Ye Zhongming’s side intended to utilize He’s water chains.

Ye Zhongming admitted that if the Hawkins couple were taken individually, their strength might be slightly lower than his, but the difference was absolutely small, extremely tiny.

This wasn’t hard to understand.

He was a reincarnator, true, but he only had the advantage of foresight before level six. As for others, their fortune, or their ‘golden fingers,’ still existed and weren’t necessarily worse than his. He was already very satisfied that he could step by step reach the peak of level nine in less than seven years.

Moreover, Ye Zhongming himself faintly felt that in terms of individual combat power, he should be Earth’s number one.

In his previous life, ten years only made him a small level six evolved. After reincarnating, becoming the planet’s number one in such a short time—if he still demanded that others be so weak he could instantly kill them, that would be too much.

It would be overestimating himself and underestimating everyone else under heaven.

Just like the Hawkins couple, although Ye Zhongming didn’t know much about them, he now roughly knew they belonged to a force called Gold-Silver Island. During the break, he had Jie Kui go out to inquire. This force was neither big nor small, not like camps such as Reina Star’s Su Clan, but an alliance formed by several medium-sized forces joining hands. In the universe’s races, they were seen as a existence similar to a major race, only their internal composition was a bit complex.

The Hawkins couple seemed to be their key cultivation targets.

Joining hands, without a doubt, their strength was certainly stronger than Ye Zhongming’s.

However, with He’s water chain defense, Ye Zhongming had confidence in fighting them.

He would face the Hawkins couple himself. The remaining people would have to face Wade and Yaka.

Regarding these two opponents, Ye Zhongming also understood. Their individual strengths were slightly worse than the Hawkins couple’s, but not by much—similar to the gap between the Hawkins couple and Ye Zhongming, very tiny.

Individually, whether it was Jie Kui or Helsky, they were no match for them. Shi Kangbu and Yang Tuo were even worse. However, with Qiuqiu’s help and He’s assistance, two against one still had some chance of victory.

In Ye Zhongming’s view, the key to breaking the situation in this small-scale life-and-death team battle did not lie with him but with the remaining people.

Shi Kangbu had been hit by the lead Spiral Fish earlier, very heavily, even falling unconscious. He had been treated by He internally and externally. Although he woke up and his external injuries were healed entirely with External Water, his internal injuries were not and needed time to recover. He could fight now, but his combat power was estimated to be only one-third of his peak.

Jie Kui’s condition had improved slightly. He’s water chain had blocked most of the damage for him. After treatment, his body recovered well, at least better than it looked outwardly. His current ‘weak’ state was a bit of a pretense.

This individual, although he hadn’t been with Helsky for long, had already shown a trend of learning bad things.

Jie Kui could now exert about seventy to eighty percent of his original strength.

Shi Kangbu and Jie Kui together could only match one person’s usual strength, and this was still based on He applying water chains to them.

Their task was to restrain Yaka, utilizing their flexible fighting style and strategy to keep the unrestrained and forceful Yaka ineffective for a short time.

The real situation breakers were Helsky and Yang Tuo.

If not for Helsky’s performance earlier with Hawkins, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t have entrusted the most critical part of this life-and-death battle to these two newcomers.

But at least just now, Helsky and Yang Tuo had proven their loyalty, even if only temporarily.

They successfully tricked the Hawkins couple, preserving themselves while also preventing Ye Zhongming’s side from falling into passivity. Otherwise, they would either have fought to the death or defected, greatly enhancing the opponent’s strength. Either way, Ye Zhongming’s side would have almost certainly been defeated.

But their handling of the situation not only prevented things from getting worse but also made it very favorable for Ye Zhongming’s side.

That exchange of glances between the two on the speedboat had led Ye Zhongming to make those subsequent moves.

In that instant, Helsky had won the Cloud Peak King’s trust.

Helsky and Yang Tuo were both in perfect condition. Even with He’s assistance, their strength would be enhanced further. For two already good at frontal combat, this was truly adding wings to a tiger.

Also, earlier, out of the ten Progress Pills, Ye Zhongming himself had taken three, Jie Kui three, Shi Kangbu one, leaving three.

Ye Zhongming directly gave two to Helsky and one to Yang Tuo, telling them not to forget to pay back later while also making up for a certain shortcoming in their bodies on the eve of battle, again boosting their combat power.

Now, even if these two’s strength couldn’t match Wade’s, it wouldn’t be far off. The all-around protection of the water chains rendered Wade’s most threatening, insidious attacks ineffective. In a two-against-one situation, Ye Zhongming believed Helsky and Yang Tuo were the most likely to win first.

Once they won, they would then turn to take down Yaka; the final situation would become a siege against the Hawkins couple.

Ye Zhongming had no moral purity complex; as long as they won, this method was better.

“The burden is heavy.” Helsky shook his neck, humble in words but full of excitement in his eyes.

Since Brother Ye trusted them so much, then come on.

He gave a signal to a few people. Ye Zhongming’s side, having already divided the work and initiated the attack. Everyone charged forward together!
