Doomsday Roulette

CHAPTER TEXT:

刺心. This name holds a special significance for Cloud Summit, even somewhat jarring.

Because the greatest loss that Cloud Summit suffered was at the hands of this mysterious organization.

The siege by millions of mutated life forms cost many their friends, comrades, and family, forcing Liu Zhenghong and Le Da Yuan to fight desperately atop the city walls, resulting in the sacrifice or crippling of many excellent researchers, and the city defenses of Cloud Summit were almost completely destroyed.

That battle was also the one with the highest casualty rates among Cloud Summit's own soldiers since its formation.

Even the earth yellow pill came close to becoming a statue forever.

No one would forget that battle, and no one would forget the pain it brought. No one would forget how Cloud Summit was reborn from the ashes after the fight.

Of course, that battle also firmly established Cloud Summit's reputation, showcasing everything they had earned after standing strong. It allowed Cloud Summit Villa to officially join the ranks of superpowers and made all those forces that had some mysterious support even before the apocalypse aware that there was such a place, which had developed independently after the apocalypse and was now capable of competing with them face-to-face.

There were not many signs; Cloud Summit suddenly leaped into everyone's sight.

But the name "刺心" (Cixin) and this organization weighed heavily on the hearts of all Cloud Summit members.

Previously, Cloud Summit had encountered members of Cixin, eradicated them, and occasionally received some genuine and fake news about them. The false information was mostly to deceive for bounties, while the real ones were few and only provided some faint clues.

With Cloud Summit's current power as a super force, they couldn't find a single organization, and even the evolved beings that had developed to a certain scale had no way to counter them. This made Ye Zhongming vaguely feel that the organization Cixin was different.

Until the mystery was unraveled, Ye Zhongming could only wait.

Even though he had many bad premonitions in his heart, Ye Zhongming felt powerless. The biggest reason for his efforts to rapidly enhance Cloud Summit's strength was undoubtedly the pressure from the All Races of the Universe above, but deep down, there was also an element of vigilance against the mysterious organization Cixin.

Now, this piece of information was suddenly placed before him, and he felt a sense of unreality.

It wasn't that he doubted the authenticity of the information; he knew it had to be real because it was information passed on from the avoidance department, confirmed by both the intelligence team and the action team.

However, there was too much reflected in the information, giving him a sense of unreality.

A force that had been silent for so long suddenly appeared, and it appeared so completely. Was there something he hadn't noticed?

"Boss, what's going on?" Little Tiger's eyes lit up first, followed by everyone's expressions changing. The habit of victory and countless battles had forged their combative nature, especially towards other forces or mutated life forms, not to mention Cixin.

Ye Zhongming took out a rolled parchment from his space and handed it to his core subordinates.

After everyone passed it around, their expressions varied.

Guangyao pulled out a map and furrowed his brow at the location.

"Here? In the Extreme Cold Land?"

The report indicated that Cixin's lair was indeed in the Extreme Cold Land to the north, already beyond national borders.

"How could it be there?" The others struggled to comprehend; that place was not suitable for human survival or living, even in peaceful times, let alone in the desolate apocalypse.

Ye Zhongming shook his head: "I don't know either, but it shouldn't be wrong. After the avoidance department obtained this information, I even asked someone to verify it, and they all received definite replies."

"Demon Witch Palace? Sounds rather martial arts-like. Did the leader of Cixin build a palace for themselves?" Young Master Yun snickered from the side, but he seemed eager to try it out.
