Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1939: Layered Body and Layered Eye

Ye Zhongming sat in his own room, waiting for people to come and sign up for the Assault Camp.

This idea had arisen from the moment he knew he was going to take over the Bronze Camp.

The chronic ailments of the Star-Eye Clan could not be resolved quickly; this place needed heroes.

Individually, whether it was White Robe or Ye Zhongming himself, they had done well enough to be called heroes. So now, a truly admired and feared elite squad was needed.

Just like the Female Guards in the country.

The only difference was that the establishment and development of the Female Guard had a bit of luck, while the Bronze Assault Camp was to be entirely planned and formed by Ye Zhongming himself.

The first person to come was both surprising and not surprising; it was Jie Kui.

“What are you here for?” Ye Zhongming frowned slightly.

Purely from Jie Kui’s personal combat style, he was indeed very, very suitable for the Bronze Assault Camp. But now, Ye Zhongming had come to the Bronze Camp alone. Although he used his unique abilities, like the Mountain King Crown’s Earth Spirit and the application of the Bronze Order Leader mask to assassinate the biggest obstacle, Ka Lan Ka, he still didn’t have a ‘person of his own’ within the team.

Jie Kui, this warrior commissioned by the Star-Eye Clan, undoubtedly became the best candidate.

Helsky was naturally more suitable than Jie Kui and would certainly perform better than Jie Kui, but his identity became an obstacle. Ye Zhongming didn’t want more issues.

At the same time, he had other matters that required Helsky’s help with.

“I want to join the Assault Camp.” Jie Kui scratched his head, observing Ye Zhongming’s expression, ready to adjust his words at any time.

“Go back and properly lead the Third Thousand-Person Unit. That place is all Leng Jiao’s old base; it’s probably the unit most dissatisfied with us. You have to suppress it for me and achieve good results in future assessments. You represent me, you know? If you don’t do well, my prestige here will also be swept away!”

Jie Kui said sheepishly, “I know, but I’m really not suited for these things. I’d rather face the enemy and swing my blade. You know, after you taught me ‘Layered Body’, my ability improved rapidly. Although my furelai is not yet two thousand, I am confident I can take down targets with twice my strength!”

As Ye Zhongming’s confidant in the Star-Eye Clan, the King of Cloud Peak naturally would not treat Jie Kui poorly. After obtaining the legacy of the 101st generation Bronze Order Leader, he taught Jie Kui a skill called Layered Body, which was very suitable for ambushes and assassinations.

Jie Kui, originally an outstanding assassin, was like a fish in water after obtaining this ability, and his strength increased dramatically.

Fighting openly one-on-one was not his forte, but if he were to ambush a target, that target would be in big trouble.

“Jie Kui, I hope you understand one thing. What I need is one thousand, ten thousand people who can cause big trouble for the target, not just one. I gave you your current position, so you must train one thousand such warriors for me.”

“We all know what we will face. Many things are already beyond our control. So, prepare yourself; battle is right before us.”

After seeing Jie Kui off, people began to come to Ye Zhongming one after another. Some didn’t come specifically to join the Assault Camp but just to get familiar, yet Ye Zhongming was also very accommodating, smiling and talking with each for a few sentences.

Of course, some genuinely wanted to join the Assault Camp. They were the most fervent loyalists of the Star-Eye Clan, who respected Ye Zhongming from the bottom of their hearts for bringing almost the greatest honor to the Star-Eye Clan.

Ye Zhongming accepted all who came; he let such people join the Assault Camp.

Ye Zhongming didn’t have a chance to refuse. A whole day passed, and only a little over sixty such people came to sign up. After that, there were no more.

Clearly, the people of the Bronze Camp didn’t really buy into this newly formed squad.

Ye Zhongming wasn’t angry either. He communicated with the units these people belonged to, formally requesting the personnel.

After dinner, he gathered these people in an indoor training ground.

“Originally, I wanted to recruit one hundred people, but unfortunately, only sixty-five came.” Ye Zhongming clapped his hands, his face full of helplessness.

“Now, what I want to tell you is that the training for the Bronze Assault Camp will be very hard, and the elimination rate will also be very high. There might even be injuries, disabilities, or deaths during training. We will also be the first to undertake dangerous missions, with a high mortality rate. You have a chance to choose again. Those who regret it, please walk out through that door over there.”

Ye Zhongming’s gaze swept over the faces of these people, then he said, “Don’t think leaving would be shameful or cause loss of face. Compared to life, these are nothing.”

“Think about it. I will be back in ten minutes.”

After speaking, Ye Zhongming turned and left. This wasn’t some kind of test; he genuinely wanted these people to choose again.

When he returned after ten minutes, Ye Zhongming was a bit surprised.

“No one left?”

Sixty-five people; actually, not a single person had left.

“Very good, you have impressed me.” Ye Zhongming looked at these people appreciatively, then said, “I ask you one more time: can I trust you? Can I entrust my back to you during battle?”

“Yes!”

These people answered loudly.

Ye Zhongming nodded. This wasn’t a promise, and he wouldn’t naively think that just shouting a slogan would lead to complete trust between them. Now, it was just a good foundation. To truly regard each other as comrades-in-arms would require tests of blood and fire.

“Having you go risk your lives, I cannot just move my lips.” After saying this, Ye Zhongming started taking things out from his space. Each time he took something out, he would call a name and, under that person’s surprised gaze, stuff the item into their hands.

“Don’t recognize them? These are all pieces of equipment. I exchanged them with my Novice battlefield points. They should all suit you well.”

This one sentence made the warriors of the Bronze Assault Camp feel grateful.

During those ten minutes just now, Ye Zhongming quickly found the profiles of these sixty-five warriors and, from his reserves, found equipment that matched them.

These days, the rewards from the Novice battlefield had all been delivered to the Star-Eye Clan.

The equipment Ye Zhongming had selected at that time ranged from high to medium to low grade. What he gave to these sixty-five people in front of him was all from the best batch.

For members who, in a way, were the first to align themselves with him, the King of Cloud Peak would naturally not be stingy.

“Study the equipment later. Now, begin the first training session after the establishment of the Assault Camp.” Ye Zhongming had everyone put down their equipment for now.

“I’ve looked at your profiles. To be honest, your strength is much weaker than I expected. The strongest person…” Ye Zhongming’s gaze fell on a thin, dry man in the first row, “Shi Yong only has a little over four thousand furelai.”

This person, Shi Yong, was not only the strongest among those who joined the Assault Camp but also held the highest position; he was a Deputy Thousand-Person Commander.

“This won’t do. You are now somewhat my symbol. With this level of strength, people would laugh their teeth out. So, besides equipment, I have also prepared an ability for you.”

“Layered Eye.”
