Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1970: Changing mountains

“Why are you angry again?”

Xia Lei imitated the tone from a certain skit before the apocalypse to tease Yellow Ball, who was lying to the side.

Yellow Ball drooped its eyelids, looking like it didn’t want to deal with you.

“Alright, you are Cloud Peak’s trump card. We can’t just let you out casually. When we need you, we’ll let you take action. Didn’t we let you bite off someone’s head a while ago? That was also a Level Nine lifeform. Still not satisfied?”

Stroking the even softer golden fur on Yellow Ball’s body after it evolved to Level Nine, Xia Lei spoke to it as if she were speaking to a child.

The world now knew that Cloud Peak had seven Level Nines: Mo Ye, Yangos, Red Hair, Undead Dragon Fish, Death King Tree, Talking Lady, and her Black Cat.

But they didn’t know that Cloud Peak actually had nine top-tier existences; there were also Liang Chuyin and Yellow Ball.

Moreover, after this period of striking out in all directions, Xia Lei already had some Level Nine magic crystals and could spin the Level Nine wheel. If luck were good enough, Cloud Peak would soon have another Level Nine lifeform born!

These top-tier lifeforms were the confidence for Xia Lei and others to make their crazy decision.

If they only had one Level Nine lifeform, and still wanted to unify the entire planet? Unifying the country would be a delusion.

Launching war was a method that accumulated wealth faster than any other means. During this period, Cloud Peak won consecutive victories, and their gains… actually far exceeded that of peaceful times.

“How about this: tomorrow, when that dragon Yangos returns, let you fight it, okay? Don’t look at me with that expression. The other Level Nine lifeforms won’t bother with you even if you want to fight them.”

Yellow Ball directly turned its head away.

Yes, a top-tier lifeform on this planet had to stay in a small mountain villa’s underground castle and couldn’t go out. Anyone would be unhappy about that.

But Yellow Ball was the most obedient among Cloud Peak’s non-human Level Nine lifeforms. Although unhappy in its heart, it would still stay here and not go out.

“Alright, alright, looking at you, throwing a little tantrum. After tomorrow, we won’t confine you anymore, okay?”

Upon hearing this, Yellow Ball immediately turned its head back, its eyes fixed on Xia Lei, meaning, ‘Are you not lying?’

Xia Lei laughed heartily. “We won’t confine you today then, we’ll let you out, okay? However, you can’t leave the mountain villa’s range. After tomorrow, you can go wherever you want!”

Yellow Ball jumped up happily, wagging its tail wildly at Xia Lei, lowering its big head to nudge Xia Lei’s head, looking like you are the best.

“And, Yellow Ball, I have some news to tell you.”

Yellow Ball looked at Xia Lei in confusion, feeling that today, this one of the female masters was indeed somewhat unusual.

“We’ve made contact with your master.” This sentence almost made the fur on Yellow Ball’s body stand on end. Xia Lei immediately calmed it down, “Not direct contact, but Zhongming seems to have joined some race in the universe, called the Star-Eye Clan, and they chose me as their spokesperson on Earth.”

Nowadays, the agent system wasn’t a secret among the higher officials of various major forces. Previously, everyone in Cloud Peak’s leadership knew that Ye Zhongming was the spokesperson of the Taros Red Dwarves.

They just didn’t understand why, after going up there, Ye Zhongming changed factions.

However, regardless, being chosen made Xia Lei extremely excited. It took her several hours to calm down, barely.

All the previous anxiety and restlessness disappeared without a trace.

Although she couldn’t directly communicate with Ye Zhongming for now, and she couldn’t even be sure if this Star-Eye Clan was truly the target Ye Zhongming had joined, just being able to confirm that her man was safe and sound in the sky was enough for Xia Lei.

Otherwise, that scene of disappearing in light, leaving a pile of equipment behind, had become a nightmare she couldn’t shake off.

“Tonight is my second contact with the Star-Eye Clan. I heard they are going to transmit some things over. At that time, both you and Chuyin need to be by my side, just in case. However, no matter what happens, you must not act impulsively. After all, they are the universe’s myriad races. Your master might still rely on them to survive. So even if we suffer frustration, we must endure it.”

Xia Lei stroked Yellow Ball’s head and instructed.

In Cloud Peak, not just Yellow Ball, but everyone else was actually the same; they had already developed a pride from strength and victory.

This pride could be said to be Cloud Peak’s spirit, Cloud Peak’s soul!

On Earth, Xia Lei didn’t think there was anyone or any force worth Cloud Peak placing this pride down for.

But facing the universe’s races was different.

What kind of existence those were, Xia Lei couldn’t imagine. What was certain was that they were definitely lifeforms infinitely more powerful than Cloud Peak.

In front of these lifeforms, Cloud Peak must raise its tail.

She believed that as long as her man was given some time, as long as Cloud Peak was given some time, this situation would reverse.

She could understand, and she also needed others to understand, especially Yellow Ball. The loyalty of dogs to their masters was one of the most reliable emotions in the world. Yellow Ball, who had been through life and death with Ye Zhongming since the beginning of the apocalypse, had elevated this loyalty to the utmost. Xia Lei was truly afraid that the arrogance of the universe’s races would anger Yellow Ball, causing an accident for her spokesperson status. That would mean there would be no chance to communicate with Ye Zhongming directly.

Leaving the underground fortress with Yellow Ball, Xia Lei saw a letter that would appear on the table every day.

That was the daily report from Chameleon.

After Ye Zhongming left, Chameleon was temporarily taken over by Xia Lei again.

Xia Lei let Yellow Ball play by itself. Soon, she heard exclamations from outside; those were Cloud Peak soldiers seeing Yellow Ball after it evolved to Level Nine.

Opening the letter, there were three pages.

The first page was the internal intelligence of Cloud Peak. It covered everything, no matter how small, as long as Chameleon noticed it and deemed it valuable, it would be reported.

The second page included intelligence outside Cloud Peak, encompassing information from the major forces Chameleon could currently reach, as well as from the vast territories.

The third page had only appeared after Cloud Peak declared war externally. It was military intelligence, including battle reports, losses, gains, etc. On the one hand, Xia Lei used this intelligence to understand things that the main teams might have overlooked in their reports. On the other hand, she also needed to compare it with the intelligence the teams sent themselves.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust others, but that she didn’t want to test human nature.

After reading today’s report, Xia Lei thought for a moment, then gently knocked on the table. Immediately, a black shadow appeared in the room.

“Two matters. First, confirm where the Secret Realm opened by that force in the north leads to, and how far their exploration has progressed.”

“The second matter is a military order. Use your channels; it’s faster this way. Order Guang Yao, Tong Hu, Ah Yang, Mei Na, Gan Lan, and the Talking Lady to abandon the attack on the Glory Army and temporarily stay in place, awaiting further notice.”
