Chapter 1158: Jumping into the river
But size didn’t mean strength; materials didn’t mean strength either. At this point, the evolved couldn’t deduce the monsters’ strength with their eyes and would only know after fighting.
So when so many monsters pounced, no one knew who they should attack first. They could only aim at the ones that were closest to them.
In this batch of monsters, a few dozen of them were quick. A person from Nalan Battle Squad was held back by two of them and then drowned by those who charged.
“Retreat while fighting!”
Ye Zhongming shouted, and he led them to retreat.
They would know what to do without Ye Zhongming reminding them if they were from Cloud Peak. But Nalan Battle Squad lacked the battle acumen. Some people were hot-blooded and wanted to go all out to fight. Some just stuck beside Ye Zhongming and his group and planned to let them save them. Some turned to flee.
The gap in strength between the two was shown.
With clear orders, these people stabilized. With Ye Zhongming and Li Qiang’s firepower, they started to toss the stone and iron rods.These things could be recycled.
If Li Qiang had been saving on bullets previously, he was going all out now. The bullets pretty much exited his barrel like a continuous line.
Many monsters died from such attacks. Their path ahead turned into a road of death.
Sometimes, Ye Zhongming felt lucky because although these monsters had transformed from the buildings, their heads were still their lethal spot, which gave Li Qiang and him a chance to kill them in one shot.
If they had to kill the monsters by destroying their bodies fully, Li Qiang’s shooting skills would be more ineffective.
But these monsters were nearby. They also had to kill those closer and faster monsters, so their accuracy wasn’t as high as before. The other monsters arrived when the team finished the first batch of monsters.
Both sides clashed.
At this time, Nalan Battle Squad, who was supporting Ye Zhongming, wasn’t good enough. It wasn’t their strength. Most of the monsters were a level higher, but there weren’t as many of them as humans. They could fight.
But their mentality wasn’t good.
They were only able to last for a few seconds before they collapsed as a few people tried to flee.
Gan Lan and Mei Na felt disgusted and wished they could hide in a gap in the ground.
Gao Yi shouted. Even if he faced many times more opponents, he held his huge sword to attack. Although Li Qiang and Zhao Xiangxue were ranged evolved, they didn’t flee. They used their agile bodies to find a way to attack. �
Ye Zhongming entered the battle god mode. He held his blade and charged in front of Gao Yi. He was before the monster’s formation, and his blade shone. No monster was able to take a single hit.
This made Gan Lan and Mei Na hate themselves more. They protected their subordinates too much, and they lost their courage when they had to risk their lives. They didn’t even have the foresight to see that Cloud Peak could hold on!
A dozen monsters charged into Nalan Battle Squad’s formation. The rest were held back by the four of them.
Mei Na and Gan Lan shouted. Their beautiful faces were twisted, but they wouldn’t retreat. Some loyal subordinates followed beside them and stopped most of the charged monsters.
Nalan Battle Squad’s collapse was because they didn’t have any battle mentality. Now, with only a few monsters chasing them, they adapted. Many people stopped and started to ask their allies to fight. As the battlefield was scattered, a few dozen warriors could fight one monster. They quickly got the upper hand and completed the kill.
The battle had ended when they collected the shining stone and iron rods and returned. Cloud Peak’s four members ignored them. Mei Na and Gan Lan stared at them viciously, but they said nothing.
The two knew it was time to reconsider the squad’s future.
After killing the monsters, Gao Yi was slightly injured. At the same time, they finished the second street.
On the tag, their completion rate was 6%, and Nalan Battle Squad was about to hit 1%.
The final reward depended on the completion rate. Ye Zhongming looked at Trio and No Man’s Zone’s comparison, and the gap was still obvious. He thought about it, and after crafting some bullets for Li Qiang, he had a new plan.
Gao Yi, Zhao Xiangxue, and Li Qiang continued to lead the team into the streets while he went to a new place.
This was risky as he was alone. If anything happened, he could only rely on himself.
So, Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue didn’t agree at first. Even Li Qiang, who was very careful, objected.
But Ye Zhongming insisted on his thoughts and told them they could push slowly. Draw monsters bit by bit to kill. When there weren’t too many enemies, the Nalan Battle Squad would still be able to help.
Also, pay attention to the final kills. They had to kill steal from the Nalan Battle Squad. With Ye Zhongming there, it didn’t matter. But without him, their combat strength would drop. They would rely on Nalan more, and if they don’t care about the final hits, the Nalan Battle Squad might take a large number of them, and that would be useless.
After making such arrangements, he gave them some potions before disappearing into a street.
