Apocalypse Gachapon

Even if the fighting had stopped for a day, the air was still filled with a gory stench.

This smell wasn’t good, but everyone was used to it.

The ice crystal path was destroyed, but the breach in the walls wasn’t something that could be filled, much less the collapse of the city gate.

Ye Zhongming and Hong Xiang stood on the wall near the gate and looked at the warriors cleaning the ruins.

Neal and Hong Xiang were badly injured. Even after Park Xiuying recovered half her mental energy and healed them, Hong Xiang could barely walk, and he wasn’t in a good state. Neal could only lay on the bed.

The two of them probably needed three to five days to recover to the level that they could fight. It would take ten days before they could totally heal.

“That is cement?”

Ye Zhongming nodded. It was actually concrete, but he didn’t want to explain it too much.

Since the stoppage began, Cloud Peak’s squad has brought large amounts of building materials over. Along with those stored in the city, they have started to repair the walls.

The concrete was definitely weaker than the original city walls, which were strengthened with special abilities, but they were quick. They could block the breach within a few days, and after dealing with them, they could be of some use.

“This barrier refreshed?”

Hong Xiang looked at the barrier. Although Ye Zhongming had mentioned it, he still asked. After all, this concerned whether or not the battle would restart.

Ye Zhongming nodded. He couldn’t explain how the abilities worked and could only tell them the outcome in a way that they could understand. If there were areas that he couldn’t explain, he would say that it was the omnipotent god…

“How long do you think they will stop for?”

Ye Zhongming looked at the Posthumous people collecting the corpses and the Saint Light Hall troops that were reorganizing.

He felt like the kings understood them more than him, and they could give an accurate guess.

Before Hong Xiang could say anything, Ling Kun entered.

His face still had some dried blood.

“This dragon is tough.”

He cursed. A guard passed him a wet cloth to wipe his face.

“You didn’t kill it, right?”

Nothing could improve relationships between guys like a battle. After this battle, Ye Zhongming and the three kings became much closer, and they could be considered friends.

They became familiar, so naturally, their words weren’t as worried, and they became more casual with each other.

“Nothing, just that its mouth is smelly. I beat it up, but its scales are so tough.” Ling Kun waved his fist at the two of them. Ye Zhongming and Hong Xiang saw that his skin had broken.

“Zhongming asked how many days they would stop for.” When Zishan died, Ling Kun lived the longest, and Hong Xiang respected his views.

Ling Kun squinted and thought about it: “Normally, if they want to fight, they have to remake siege weapons and prepare materials. They need to get more troops, create armor, heal the soldiers, and recover morale.”

“They need at least 20 days for another full-scale attack.” Ling Kun thought about it and said, “But if they want to just disturb and probe us, they could do so in just a few days. But I don’t think they would do that.”

Ling Kun didn’t say the reason for his analysis, but both Ye Zhongming and Hong Xiang knew. Saint Light Hall also saw that with Cloud Peak’s help, it was tough for them to take down the Imperial City. The only hope was if the Saint Father attacked.

A level nine expert could crush many rules.

But they didn’t know when the level-nine expert would arrive. What made him ignore this current battle?

The three of them were silent and could sense the worry in each other’s hearts.

Yangos’s giant roar rang out in the dark cave. This dragon didn’t stop after being held hostage.

When Ye Zhongming walked out, that voice paused and became more intense.

“Let me go, you despicable human, you know… How majestic I am?”

Ye Zhongming looked at Yangos tied to the stone walls and saw that there was a wound in its chest. It should have been from Ling Kun, and it prevented Yangos from spitting dragon breath.

Of course, after that battle, Ye Zhongming wondered if that fellow still could breathe fire.

Ye Zhongming pulled out his blade and walked to Yangos’s side.

“Scram further you ant, you…”

“I heard that dragons are filled with treasures.” Ye Zhongming said calmly, looking at Yangos’s face, “Dragon skin and dragon scale can create the best armor. The eyes can provide super vision; the horns can create really sharp weapons. The brain can increase mental energy. The meat can strengthen one’s body, the blood can increase the toughenss of the skin and increase defense.”

Ye Zhongming walked before his leg. The Earth Sand Moon Blade turned, and the back hit the dragon’s leg. The sound of bones cracking could be heard, and it cried in pain.

“There is also the beard, tendons, claws, and wings…”

Ye Zhongming behaved like he wasn’t the one who broke the leg. He looked calmly at Yangos.

“If you don’t want me to slice you into eight pieces, you better be more quiet.”

Yangos stared and panted, but he stopped speaking.

“Very good, we can finally talk.” Ye Zhongming retracted his blade, which calmed Yangos down. That blade felt really dangerous.

He found a clean stone platform and sat on it. Slowly, he said, “I can imagine why there are zombies, why humans evolve, why there were golden warships, and how other advanced lifeforms are tempted to attack Earth.”

“But there are more things I can’t understand. What are the wheels, the potions, the dungeons, and what are jobs and skills? How did they enter human bodies and become controlled?”

“You might not know the answer, but there is one thing you can answer.”

“Where are you from?”
