Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1904: Surprising helper

“Eat it?”

Ji Ruiguang handed over a bright red fruit. Ye Zhongming recognized it; it was a very common fruit among the cosmic races, promoting salivation, quenching thirst, and slightly replenishing stamina.

Although the cosmic races were now in a miserable state, having occupied initially countless life-bearing stars, they could only eke out an existence on seven Survivor Fortresses.

But the seven Survivor Fortresses were all very large, with many cities on them, and naturally, there were places for agricultural production; otherwise, what would so many people eat?

Ye Zhongming took it, placed it in his mouth, and chewed slowly, sensing the faint energy seeping through the sweet and sour taste.

“Guess how many people have gathered around. The green dots number over three hundred anyway.”

This number, even for the well-experienced and psychologically resilient Ji Ruiguang, made his back break out in sweat, and all his confidence completely vanished.

These over three hundred green dots represented over three hundred mature warriors. With his own strength, he struggled to deal with even one mature warrior, let alone over three hundred.

Even with White Robe, Jie Su, and the others now, plus an energy array, it still seemed unlikely they could handle so many people, right?

So what would the outcome be? Ji Ruiguang dared not even think about it.

Ye Zhongming understood Ji Ruiguang’s meaning. The green dots only represented mature warriors, and behind these warriors, there could be several times more Novices.

With such numbers, even if they just used bodies to pile up, they could overwhelm their small group to death.

“We have no other path to take either.”

Ye Zhongming said this sentence; he was also very helpless, but things had reached this point, and the only thing they could do was persevere.

Someone came.

Those who had been observing the situation suddenly noticed that the green dots in one direction had suddenly accelerated and were approaching them. Everyone stood up, including the little Lady of the Sheke Star, Yisewei.

But soon, everyone discovered that the one arriving was actually the Star-Eye Clan warrior, covered in blood.

Previously, White Robe was intercepted and told the other two to find Ye Zhongming, but they were also attacked; one died, and one went missing. Even White Robe had thought there was little hope of seeing him before the Novice battlefield ended. Unexpectedly, this clansman actually found them, and somehow broke through the heavy encirclement to come and join everyone.

That wasn’t the most surprising part. What made Ye Zhongming and Ji Ruiguang somewhat skeptical was that behind this warrior, two people were following. Ji Ruiguang knew one of them, and Ye Zhongming… knew both.

The one both of them knew was Mu Hanyi!

The boss of the Glory Army actually charged over, plunging himself into certain death. What was going on? His relationship with Ji Ruiguang was decent, but only just okay, and with Ye Zhongming, there was enmity. Why would he take the initiative to come?!

“Strange?” Jie Su let in Mu Hanyi after the Star-Eye Clan warrior vouched that he was not a problem. He then faced Ye Zhongming and Ji Ruiguang and asked.

“Very strange,” Ji Ruiguang replied bluntly.

Ye Zhongming didn’t speak, but in his heart, he also found it strange.

This person had no reason to come. Was he a masochist? Did he need to be abused millions of times?

“This guy, although he doesn’t get along with me, no matter what, he is number one in the country. Now he comes to the Novice battlefield and is also number one. This isn’t just his personal honor, it’s also the country’s. I can’t watch him fail at the last moment! Our people can’t drop the chain like that!”

This reference was likely only comprehensible to people from the country.

Ye Zhongming found it both funny and annoying. Mu Hanyi, while speaking, didn’t look at him at all, yet everything he said was about him.

Although Cloud Peak and the Glory Army were absolute enemies, with many direct conflicts between them, some of considerable scale, Mu Hanyi’s current actions made Ye Zhongming appreciate this person.

No matter how severe the internal conflicts within the country were, when it came to external matters, they could temporarily set these aside.

If it were only that, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t think much of it. The concept of home and country existed in the hearts of the vast majority of their people. At critical moments, this inherent nature was bound to burst forth.

However, Ye Zhongming and the others now faced a situation of certain death. Someone who would come generously, knowing death was likely, was no ordinary person.

No matter what had happened before, at least now, Ye Zhongming felt grateful to this person. After all, if they pulled through this ordeal, he would be the one to benefit the most.

“I don’t want to die alongside someone I find unpleasant to look at, so…” This time, Mu Hanyi looked at Ye Zhongming, “You’d better live.”

Ye Zhongming laughed and said, “You will live too.”

“That would be best.”

The dialogue between the Cloud Peak King and Mu Hanyi temporarily came to an end. He looked at the other person, someone he had absolutely not expected.

“Kid, why did you come?”

Ye Zhongming stroked his chin and asked.

The other party was silent for a moment, then said, “Don’t call me kid. Although I’m not quite right in the head, I also have dignity.”

The Cloud Peak King waved his hand with a smile, “Okay, I apologize. But you still haven’t answered my question. Why did you come to this certain death situation? Mechanical Genius!”

The other party was actually the Mechanical Genius who had once competed with Ye Zhongming for the Mountain King Crown!

“No reason,” Mechanical Genius said in one sentence. He was actually more interested in the energy array they were in, but he also knew he had to give an answer at this time, even if it didn’t sound reliable.

“Actually… I think you might die.”

This sentence even confused Ye Zhongming a little. He thought, are all mentally ill people like this?

Once Mechanical Genius started, it seemed he had no more reservations.

“Because there are too many people surrounding you. Even with so many people helping you, there’s a high probability you will die.”

Mechanical Genius sat in a small humanoid machine, his voice becoming finer and finer until only Ye Zhongming could hear it.

“This is my judgment. So I thought I should come to your side. In the end, even if you die, I might survive, because their target is you, not me. At worst, I can just run away quickly when the time comes.”

Ye Zhongming’s brows gradually furrowed. He increasingly did not understand what this person wanted to say. If he continued talking such nonsense, the Cloud Peak King was considering whether to beat him up first.

“Actually, what I mean is, look, if you die, do you think the Mountain King Crown might drop because of your disappearance? It’s possible, but it might also choose a new owner. In that case, since I’m by your side, don’t you think I would have a chance?”

Ye Zhongming looked very seriously at the Mechanical Genius, feeling that this guy was truly a talent to have such an idea and even come over to try his luck.

“Not a bad idea,” Ye Zhongming patted the shoulder of Mechanical Genius’s mount. “But I tell you, you have no chance.”
