Apocalypse Gachapon

There were people who wanted to do business in the apocalypse.

But it wasn’t easy.

Firstly, you had to have resources.

This problem seemed easy to solve as mutated lifeforms were all around, and you just had to kill them. Getting the crystals and materials meant having the base to start with.

But this was a cycle.

Everyone worked hard in the apocalypse to get to a higher level. If you didn’t improve, you were falling behind. The apocalypse wouldn’t stop. The entire environment was improving.

The mutated lifeforms were getting stronger, and if you didn’t get strong, you wouldn’t be able to hunt. People around you got stronger, and if you didn’t, you would get bullied.

Slowly, not improving meant falling behind and being eliminated. In the apocalypse, elimination often meant death.

So, everyone who has crystals and materials will invest them in themselves. They will also trade with others even if they cannot obtain those items themselves.

Ye Zhongming revived and knew the situation. He understood it, which was why he thought of such a method. The others who lived for three years also understood, and the joy on their faces was obvious.

With the resources, you also had to have a relatively lower base cost.

Transportation was a problem in the apocalypse. The big factions looked like they traveled easily in the wilderness, but this was only for super factions. There were many of them, and they had a balanced mix of jobs. They also had many transportation devices. When they faced huge groups of mutated lifeforms, they could avoid them. The smaller groups were also no threat to them.

However, individuals and smaller groups found it much harder in the apocalypse. There were too many dangers, and if you were not careful, you would lose your life easily.

Under such a situation, most evolved were forced to stay within a region.

With a fixed region, even if you had excess things, the price in that region would be fixed. The things you had that you didn’t need would be the specialty of that region. This might be valuable in other places, but it wasn’t rare locally.

Thus, you couldn’t sell it for much, even if you had rare resources. It was even tougher to earn the price difference like this.

Cannibal Chain and Five Ring Money had merchant groups, but they didn’t let ordinary evolved people earn money. They took all the middleman's earnings.

Ye Zhongming was going to sell them at a lower price than the market price. He didn’t care how much they sold them for; the profits involved were huge.

Even if they didn’t head to other places and just sold them within Cloud Peak, they would be able to sell it for a good price.

Many people were thinking about selling them to the crafting-type job users that had gathered in Cloud Peak.

These people were nurtured well by Cloud Peak.

People died for money, and in the apocalypse, people sought to evolve.

Ye Zhongming’s plan was a money-making opportunity for these factions.

This meeting ended quickly. These people went to get their materials from the Cloud Peak staff. This was different from cleaning up the battlefield. If they managed to do this by daybreak, it would already be considered quick.

Cloud Peak’s core members went to Ye Zhongming’s tent. They looked at a map and studied the next steps.

Guang Yao marked many colorful flags, which everyone observed.

This was the plan for the next stage.

After completing the Xingzhou City battle, Cloud Peak would head back. But it wasn’t so simple. They wouldn’t go back by their original path but split into four groups. A Cloud Peak battle squad would lead each group. They would lead several other battle squads and Posthumous People to return in four different paths.

The key point was that they would strike different mutated lifeform lairs like villages, towns, or zombie hordes.

These groups wouldn’t be too big. They were mostly a few thousand to ten thousand. They would use their advantageous numbers to obtain a crushing victory.

Naturally, they wouldn’t obtain as many things as the Xingzhou City battle. After splitting up, their ability to react to danger would drop. The smaller-scale mutated lifeform groups might move as time passes, which results in a lower efficiency.

However, this flexible method meant they didn’t need much preparation and took less risk than Xingzhou City.

“What we need to pay attention to is that there are many targets we can select. As for which one we choose, we will rather fight the weaker one. Fight those that are easier to finish and give up on the tough ones. Use the fastest speed to clear the targets that you can clear on your path.”

After this operation, Guang Yao gained everyone’s trust, and he became the fourth commander who could lead the team after Ye Zhongming, Xia Lei, and Mo Ye.

Everyone nodded. They memorized the situation on the map and then opened their own booklets to consider what to do next.

“Boss, why are we rushing back?”

Little Tiger looked at the plan. He didn’t understand it. They could do another large-scale city attack with Cloud Peak’s preparation and the many demon crystals they got.

“It isn’t as simple as you think!” Mo Ye slapped his head.

“To outsiders, we made such a huge commotion. Many people know what we did. If we do it again, people that are unfriendly towards us might do something.”

Ye Zhongming answered Little Tiger’s questions. At the same time, he was speaking to everyone.

“We just need to turn the spoils into our own strength. If we get stronger, it will be easier to do things. With smaller losses, although we didn’t lose much, Yangos, Yellow Ball, etc, got injured. We have finished the poison and oil, and some machines need fixing. Without them, our attacks will greatly reduce.”

Little Tiger laughed as if he wasn’t the one who asked the question.

Ye Zhongming looked away from the map and said something.

“Also, I just got an intel about… Stabbing Heart.”
