Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1864: Half an hour sneak attack

The less than one-hour discussion between Ji Ruiguang and Ye Zhongming, how future generations would define it, and whether it would go down in history was unknown, but one thing was sure: for Earth or the country, it was about justice, while for other races, it was far from that.

Of course, in this universe, the concept of justice was relatively narrow.

Just as the law of conservation of energy dictates, some people’s rise inevitably came at the expense of others.

It couldn’t be called absolute, but the reality was often frustrating and powerless.

It could only be said that survival of the fittest existed everywhere, at all times.

“This is a team composed of multiple races. To gain as many point bonuses as possible, over thirty people come from nearly twenty races.”

Since the decision was made to act, Ye Zhongming began to explain the information he had obtained in detail.

“The advantage of this team is their strong individual combat power, high compatibility and coordination of abilities, decisive and fierce actions, and clear sources of information, indicating they are willing to spend money and prioritize efficiency.”

“Also, they likely have a full range of jobs, especially healing jobs—more than one—and other support professions. This means the team has strong, sustained combat and recovery capabilities.”

“The highest-ranked person in the team…”

Ye Zhongming relayed all the known information, very detailed, making everyone increasingly apprehensive.

Aside from the newcomers, the others had known Ye Zhongming since the first cycle or shortly after. They knew that during these two cycles, he had not only earned high points but also been pursued by Queen Aimusi. Yet, he had not only conceived such a plan but also devised detailed steps and gathered thorough information. This was terrifying—how could he be so meticulous?

In fact, when Ye Zhongming first obtained this information, his thoughts were similar to the team members’. He was shocked and surprised that Ji Ruiguang could gather such details within six or seven days of the novice battlefield starting. Indeed, he was worthy of being the former ruler of the country; he had a method.

“That’s all for the information. As for the specific action steps, I will issue commands when the time comes.”

Ye Zhongming’s expression turned serious, and everyone else instantly shifted into focus.

“Now, let’s distribute the items. Consider this a small token of my appreciation for following me in this endeavor.”

The Cloud Peak King began distributing equipment and medicines.

These were tangible points, and everyone grew excited.

Ye Zhongming naturally customized the items based on each person’s situation, essentially providing full sets. Due to their late addition, Ye Zhongming hadn’t prepared equipment for the newcomers but had made some small items during breaks in the hunting over the past two days.

For example, he made a pair of shoulder spikes and back spikes for the shield warrior to enhance defense against attacks from the air and rear. For the Six-Eye Race member, he crafted ten light arrows of absolutely top quality, which delighted the sharpshooter.

It was hard to imagine someone specially crafted such high-level arrows for her. With that effort and materials, they could have made better equipment instead of such semi-consumables.

“I will use them to take ten enemy lives.”

Facing such a promise from the Six-Eye Race member, Ye Zhongming laughed and said, “If you really manage that, I’ll make twenty more for you.”

“Deal! No backing out!”

The equipment for the aura warrior required the most thought from Ye Zhongming because, seemingly, this guy lacked nothing.

Ye Zhongming made him a secondary weapon, a ranged weapon, very compact, similar to a hand crossbow but automatic. The bolts were only as long as a finger, with six pairs loaded into the crossbow stem. Pulling the trigger would send them shooting out swiftly.

Used discreetly, it could be effective. Especially for an auxiliary warrior like him, often the primary target for elimination, having an extra means of self-defense pleased the aura warrior.

“Alright, let’s move out!” Ye Zhongming didn’t waste words; after distributing the items, he set off immediately.

………………

“There’s only half an hour left in this small cycle.”

Someone sat on the ground stretching, in a very good mood.

The team had continued hunting methodically this cycle, not only without any deaths but also with all injured members receiving good treatment. Now, only three lacked combat capability but could still take care of themselves.

This was almost unimaginable in the nearly ten days of combat, thanks to the team’s rational personnel configuration.

With healers and support, melee and ranged fighters, combat felt like being an all-capable individual, achieving effects far beyond 1+1=2.

“There’s still an hour and a half left, okay?”

A furry lifeform nearby laughed and corrected the first speaker.

“According to past situations, the notification appears an hour before the end. Newcomers can’t attack each other then. For us, isn’t that effectively half an hour left?”

“Sounds like you make a living hunting newcomers.”

“He did kill several people, you know. Look, he’s even red-named.”

“No choice. They entered our hunting ground; they deserved to die.”

Over twenty people sat gathered here, all relaxed. This cycle, their points had increased again, with the lowest member exceeding 1,400 points and the captain highest, already over 3,000 points! An extremely high ranking.

They had just completed a large hunt, so for the last hour and a half, they decided to rest. After all, there were no prey around anymore.

With sentries posted in several directions, they weren’t afraid of trouble.

Their team had over thirty members; few had the qualifications to cause them trouble.

“This time back, I’m buying that Ion Gun from the store. One shot can instantly kill weaker parasites.”

“I believe you can afford it, but can you use it? One shot costs about ten points!”

“Why couldn’t I use it? I now have over 2,000 points. I’d definitely use it at critical moments. Captain, if I get that thing, can I get a larger share when distributing points?”

This person looked toward the captain sitting there, but got no answer. He only saw the captain suddenly stand up, looking east.

“Captain, what’s wrong?”

“Everyone, attention! Be on alert!” The captain’s voice was tense as he drew his weapon.

Everyone was puzzled, but immediately entered combat readiness.

“Zalegong, who should be on guard over there, didn’t report back on time!”

Even during relaxation, sentry duty was never neglected. No news basically meant something had happened.

“Let’s go check it out together.”
