Apocalypse Gachapon-Chapter 1039: Atypical conversation

Some people would love the sound of blades thrusting into flesh, but if you heard it too often, you would be disgusted by it.

Shi Wanjia was like that.

He didn’t know why his parents chose a simple phrase from a book when naming him and did not search for deeper and more beautiful poems.

This wasn’t important. Anyways, they were already zombies, or their bodies were already totally consumed. Either that, or they were roaming elsewhere with an evolution level no lower than their son.

An only son who was brought up spoiled. Shi Wanjia was similar to most children on this land.

Only he knew how tough the start of the apocalypse was.

He gave up many things and obtained many, too.

Killing things became unavoidable. Be it zombies or humans.

Thus, he slowly fell in love with the sound of blades stabbing into celled organisms. Shi Wanjia always considered it a beautiful sound.

But now, he was sick of it.

He pulled his blade out from the cracks of a Feather Warrior Squad cavalier. Blood spurted out. Shi Wanjia smiled, so these fellows had the same structure as humans.

But the stabbing sound was slightly worse.

A few hours had passed since the start, but Shi Wanjia felt like an eternity had passed.

He couldn’t lift his arm anymore from exhaustion. As a four-star evolved, this had never happened before.

Beside him was his battle squad leader, who had turned into a corpse. A cold arrow fired from beneath the wall pierced his heart. The arrow seemed indestructible and could even insta kill a five-star evolved.

“Team leader, you are already dead. Why did you even bring us here?” Shi Wanjia sat on the ground and was weak. He asked his team leader, whose eyes were wide open in anger.

“I asked you if the rewards and bounty were easy to get?” Shi Wanjia closed his leader’s eyes and looked at the sky. Those Feather Warrior Squad warriors were flying slightly higher than before.

This wave of attacks was repelled, but Shi Wanjia didn’t feel relaxed. He moved his aching body and rolled beneath the battlement. He knew that the trebuchets were going to fire.

Since the barrier disappeared, Saint Light Hall launched an intense attack. The Feather Warrior Squad continued to strike. First, they fired, then started tossing spears before charging. They used their speed to kill the warriors on the walls.

The ground attacks got more intense, too. With the shield warriors protecting, the siege squads attacked, and arrows covered the walls.

The trebuchets were far behind. They would start blowing up the walls once their allied attacks entered a rest period. Even if the stones hit the battlement, they would be able to knock off some stones.

The Saint Light Hall warriors who charged up the ice crystal path were the most terrifying ones. They could get close and even cross the walls, but they paid a huge price. In these few hours, the walls connected to the ice crystal path shattered. Now, the path was connected to inside the city.

No one remembered how many were killed.

Ye Zhongming didn’t attack. The kings didn’t either. It wasn’t time to use them. But they weren’t lazing around either. They helped to save members, carrying the injured off the walls, and also helped to move some resources onto the walls.

……

They were like those logistic members helping to contribute to the defense.

The leadership was left to Xia Lei and Mo Ye.

The kings realized that the two women were less experienced than them. Moreover, the two women were more familiar with the Earth equipment and could use it more reasonably.

Using Ye Zhongming and the others as logistics staff wasn't a waste. They were waiting here. While waiting, it was normal to do something. With their evolution level, this job wouldn’t waste much energy. The attacks were a small threat to them, and their efficiency was even higher than that of others.

One important point was that it greatly supported the other warriors. It was also a hint that their leaders were fighting alongside them!

Especially when they killed some charging warriors when they passed by or helped to block a stone or arrow for a Posthumous People warrior, those who were saved were touched, and they would fight harder.

So, even if a few hours had passed and the enemy charged at the wall through the ice crystal path, their defense line didn’t collapse.

“Are they not tired? Why haven’t they stopped?”

The one that Ye Zhongming was carrying off the wall was Shi Wanjia. This person was hit by a rock from a trebuchet, and half of his shoulder was about to shatter. Such injuries during peacetime would pretty much mean that you were handicapped. But in the apocalypse, you just had to keep the shoulder in shape and allow Park Xiuying to heal you. Then, you just need two mouths of saint water, and you can recover in a few days.

Shi Wanjia muttered while he was on Ye Zhongming’s back.

Ye Zhongming suddenly turned and smacked a piece of stone away, “In the cold weapons era, a siege might last for an entire day. It would only stop when you couldn’t see anything at night. It would continue the next day. But we are different. This is a battle between evolved, each person is like Superman, and there are also strong weapons and mutated lifeforms. It wouldn’t take many days to finish. Unless they just surround us like a few days ago and not attack. If they attack, the outcome will be decided in a short time.

“So, they are tired, but they have to hold on. If they retreat, then everything they did would go to waste. If they attack again, they would have to do all these again, meaning they would have to pay double the price.”

“There is also morale. They are attacking us at their full state. If they fail, they will be lacking a little the next time. If they couldn’t win at full strength, could they win then? Their warriors might think about it, and morale would drop. So, if possible, they would continue to attack until one side can’t hold on.”

Shi Wanjia was only muttering to himself and didn’t expect Cloud Peak’s boss to give him a serious reply. A different emotion rose in his heart.

“Will we win?”

Ye Zhongming laughed when he heard it. He was quick. He carried Shi Wanjia down in a few sentences of conversation.

“Of course, this is our future material and crystal base. After winning, you can bring people here to search for treasure. If you are lazy to move, then you can start digging. After a month, you would earn more than if you hunt on earth.”

Shi Wanjia wanted to become a five-star evolved, and his eyes lit up when he heard that.

“Can we really come?”

“Of course!” Ye Zhongming tapped his shoulder, “Others can’t, but those who helped Cloud Peak defend this place can!”

Hong! A giant dragon roar rang.

Yangos and Saint Light Hall’s Saint Light Cannister squad were here.
