Zhang Jialun threw a punch with a loud yell, but it did not land on a beast-shaped parasite opposite him. Instead, he was getting farther away from the target.
He turned his head, glaring angrily at the person who pulled him back.
It was a tall warrior, dressed entirely in green-grade equipnt, his gaze firm.
That person did not respond to Zhang Jialun first. Instead, he raised the magic crystal firearm in his hand and fired several consecutive shots at the target ahead. The beast-shaped parasite trembled repeatedly under the attack, its flesh continuously stripped away until its body exploded into several segnts.
"Life shouldn't be risked like this."
Even after over eight years in the post-apocalyptic world, many people might have one or two pieces of green-grade equipnt, but only Cloud Peak warriors had full sets of green grade equipnt and wielded the latest model crystal firearms.
"Stand guard here. The logistics team will co up later. Go and get a green-grade weapon from there. Say Captain Niu Zhan said it from the Third Team of the Guangyao Battle Squad’s Kang Zhiqian Unit. I will also report it here."
Zhang Jialun was montarily stunned, but this Cloud Peak warrior nad Niu Zhan had already charged forward. Only then did Zhang Jialun see that around Niu Zhan, nine other Cloud Peak warriors were coordinating with each other, cooperating in combat with the war team he was in.
Initially, many war teams from other factions ca here with a concern: they would be used as cannon fodder. After all, many people ca here not voluntarily; they were semi-forced by various Cloud Peak war teams.
But they had to co because Cloud Peak was now the true hegemon and actual controller of the region. The consequences of not coming might be more severe than coming.
That worry persisted even after arriving here.
Only when the battle truly began did they believe that Cloud Peak genuinely wanted them to cooperate in the attack, not to be cannon fodder.
Zhang Jialun entered the battlefield with his team the mont the battle started, so naturally, he couldn't see many of Cloud Peak's arrangents. But the roar of magic crystal cannons, the rockets passing overhead, and the self-destruct gene soldiers falling from the sky monts ago made him know that Cloud Peak had always been there, paving the way for them.
That Cloud Peak would do this not only satisfied Zhang Jialun, a six-star evolved, but also other non-Cloud Peak affiliated people.
What none of them expected was that Cloud Peak's main war teams would enter the battlefield so quickly and fight alongside them.
And they could even get a weapon? Green-grade?
Like most post-apocalyptic evolved, Zhang Jialun considered weapons the most worthwhile equipnt to invest in. His customary battle knife was green-grade, but it was shattered by a powerful parasite during the previous battle, leaving him extrely distressed. Now he could get another one?
Cloud Peak's weapons were famously good.
"Why are you spacing out!" A slap landed on his shoulder, making Zhang Jialun's body sway. He knew without looking back; it was his vice-leader, the seven-star evolved Ai Dadu.
"My weapon is gone. The Cloud Peak person said they could give one." As Zhang Jialun spoke, he glanced sideways and smiled upon seeing Ai Dadu.
Turns out this vice-leader's hands were also empty; his weapon must have been destroyed.
"Damn, these bastards' bones are really hard!"
Zhang Jialun deeply resonated with the vice-leader's statent.
Over these eight-plus years, he had battled against no less than eight hundred, if not a thousand, types of evolved life, but none had bodies as hard as these parasites. This naturally referred to situations at the sa level.
"It seems Cloud Peak was well-prepared for this. I've encountered several similar situations already." As he spoke, the vice-leader looked sowhat enviously at the Cloud Peak warriors, almost all dressed in green equipnt, cooperating with these war teams in squad formations. The tactical competence and combat power they displayed were truly incomparable to other war teams.
In a short while, dozens of people had gathered around the vice-leader, mostly those whose weapons or key protective gear were damaged. They were waiting for Cloud Peak's logistics team mbers to co, replenish supplies, and then continue fighting.
But suddenly, so unusual sounds ca from not far ahead, followed by increasingly intense combat noises, making everyone realize sothing might have happened up front.
"Dadu, don't just stand there dammit, co get stuff quickly, then hold the line! Those monsters are counterattacking!"
Ai Dadu and Zhang Jialun turned and saw their own leader leading a five-person Cloud Peak squad rushing over swiftly.
Cloud Peak's logistics troops were not the traditional kind carrying large and small supply packs. The five-person squad consisted of four guards and another person carrying spatial equipnt with supplies inside.
Nurous pieces of equipnt were taken out and distributed to these people. In this short period of less than a minute, the sounds of fierce fighting ahead grew even louder. They even saw another volley of rocket rain; this was already the third ti. But after the bombardnt, these people, who only had a brief ti to familiarize themselves with their equipnt, actually heard that the battle line seed to have moved closer to their direction again...
This ant... the attacking forces were retreating!
"What's going on?"
Ai Dadu grabbed soone who had withdrawn from the front to replenish weapons here and asked.
"These damned beasts suddenly started counterattacking like they don't want to live anymore. Not only that, but so very special types appeared. So can lay transparent threads between buildings. Our people bump into them; as long as they aren't wearing green-grade or above defensive equipnt, their bodies get cut in half. There's also a type of worm that can burrow in the soil, specifically targeting our lower regions. Green equipnt isn't good enough; blue is needed. It bites and then runs away. Those things are small to begin with and fast. Once they enter the ground, you can't find them. There are quite a few other disgusting things. Be careful when you go up; don't get tricked."
This person panted twice, took a weapon from the Cloud Peak supply officer, drank so water, and then ran forward again.
For this battle, Cloud Peak had long offered rewards to all participating teams. As long as there were rits, the rewards were quite enticing. However, due to previous suspicions about Cloud Peak, people didn't look too closely; now, everyone believes it wasn't false.
Indeed, risking one's life now might lead to death, but which day in the post-apocalyptic world wasn't one with their head hanging on their belt? Fighting hard now, as long as one survives, can save a year or two of struggle—worth it! So even knowing the road ahead is perilous, they charge forward bravely.
Ai Dadu and Zhang Jialun's leader yelled, asking if they were ready. Seeing everyone look up at him, he waved his hand, "Follow !"
These team mbers imdiately followed.
Zhang Jialun followed behind. His strength and combat power determined his position in the team: responsible for flank attacks. Carrying a brand-new green-grade battle knife, he gradually approached the frontline with the team. But before he could charge to the very front, he was stunned.
He saw a corpse. Just over ten minutes ago, this person was still talking to him. Zhang Jialun clearly rembered his na: Niu Zhan.
