Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 227: Retreating in death

Gunshots rang out in the sky above Yingchun County Grain Storage.

They had obtained the grain, so it was time to retreat.

Although there was more than one granary here, there were too many circular grain storages around, exceeding their ability. If they were greedy, the entire group would end up dying here.

Cloud Peak had a whole array of weapons. Most were pistols, some assault rifles, and some old hunting rifles. Most of them were things that he got from the wheels. Some were amassed from before. The others were things he traded for from Yuan Shang.

Although there were many different guns, they had enough ammo. He invested so much in this fight, buying many bullets for a high price. Such that Yuan Shang thought that this mysterious cloud Peak head was about to attack another faction.

In the distance, one could also hear gunshots. The motorcade probably faced some zombies, and both sides clashed.

Weapons representing human civilization fired, and that cleared out the surrounding zombies. The pressure that they faced was significantly reduced.

"Don't panic! Don't panic!" Lu Yi shouted. He walked about the party and commanded them forward. There were evolved warriors around; they quickly opened a path toward the motorcade.

Each of their pushcarts had 4-5 bags of grain. Although some carts shook when people pushed them, most were stable. After all, apart from building walls, these people practiced how to push the cards. Ye Zhongming would toss some mutated meat into their food to feed them. Although they weren't evolved, their bodies were much stronger than usual. This gave them the confidence and conditions to succeed this time.

With the guns firing, the team charged to the door of the granary. However, there were some accidents, like the carts falling over or people being greedy about crystals and trying to dig them out. But the process was mostly fine. Those carts that fell would be picked up. As for those that couldn't or had no time to be readjusted, they just abandoned it. As for those greedy people, they ignored them.

If the team pushed forwards and you fell behind, you would be surrounded by zombies in a few seconds. You would only die. If someone at the front did that…

Then he would just get slashed.

Slice the head off and toss the body into the horde as bait.

Very cruel, but that was the correct choice. If you ignored them, the second person would do that. The third would… then the party would be in chaos. Most people would die here, so how would they even move the grain back?

But they faced the most brutal blow when they were outside the granary.

The gunshots caused more and more zombies to gather. Although they had fought for over an hour, the numbers didn't reduce, and there were even more. Some higher-level ones appeared. Some members would get killed, and there would be more and more casualties.

The pistols had limited range, and their firepower was weaker. The zombies were able to get close, so casualties were unavoidable.

This was the most challenging moment for the team when the bullets were used up. The team slowed down, and they would have to pay a heavy price for each step they took. There were even some coolies that would pick up weapons to join in the battle.

At this time, if the group scattered, they would end up dying. They were clear that courage was something that was forced out of them.

Ye Zhongming moved to the front and used Flame Blade twice, which cleared out some of the zombies ahead to allow them to continue forwards.

The earth shook. Ordinary people couldn't sense it, but the evolved did. They looked towards the east and saw two figures there.

Two monsters!

Ye Zhongming frowned. They tried not to make a sound and only fired when retreating. One reason was that they didn't want to shock those two beasts, but they were still attracted.

Due to the level difference, the zombie horde started to shuffle and think about retreating. But that fear was replaced by the temptation of food. That made them even more violent. They were clear that the food wouldn't belong to them once the two level-three monsters arrived.

The team was in even more danger now.

Ye Zhongming and the core members didn't expect the battle to be so passive. The casualties would be massive even if they could move the grain back.

He glanced at the level three monsters still a distance away and decided to take out some cards.

Explosive Mechanic appeared, and 100 units of energy were shoved into its body.

"Move aside!"

Ye Zhongming shouted, and the people gave way. Two rays fired and cleared out 5 degrees of angle to both sides.

This was the edge of his two attacks.

He kept the little thing with a 30 hours cooldown and looked at the open path. They could see the motorcade behind the moat.

After the explosive Mechanic fired, it felt like nothing was left alive.

"Charge! If you want to live charge and place the grain on the cars, do it!"

Lu Yi shouted; his voice even covered the occasional gunshots.

The evolved warriors with weapons fought their hardest. The coolies quickly pushed the carts over the wooden boars and into the motorcade. Liang Chuyin and a few others were around to clear out the zombies so they couldn't block their retreat path.

As they had to ensure the grain team could leave, the evolved and other warriors had to defend the line. The pressure was several folds higher, and a few dozen nearly collapsed. The team would have been scattered if Ye Zhongming and Yellow Ball were not helping out.

"Shengyuan!"

Ye Zhongming shouted, and he came to the tail of the team and raised his white shield!

After the final person passed the moat, Shengyuan used Immovable Barrier!

Shields covered the path and allowed the retreating warriors to cross the moat. Everyone who passed would pull away the wooden board to reveal the hole under.

The zombie horde smashed into the shield. Shengyuan started to bleed. Their attacks weren't high, but they attacked together, which injured him.

The shield shadows lasted for a few seconds before shattering.

Shengyuan, Ye Zhongming, and Yellow Ball hadn't left, and they were exposed in front of the zombie horde.
