Chapter
"You idiot!" Liu Zhenghong stood at a distance, but with her super vision, she could see clearly. After cursing, she immediately transmitted the situation she had captured to Ye Zhongming through the Merit Medal.
However, after saying so much, she realized that there was no response from Ye Zhongming. She suddenly realized that some special entities among the monsters, which had mental abilities known as soul power here, were blocking communication. Perhaps it was that commander.
This situation was quickly known by the core members of Cloud Summit.
Their hearts sank.
"Sister Lei?!" Little Tiger was already anxious, and the others felt the same. They all knew that anyone in Cloud Summit could die, but Ye Zhongming could not. He was the true core, both mentally and in other aspects.
Xia Lei bit her crimson lips, knowing that she had to make a decision now.
When Ye Zhongming left earlier, his last instruction was to execute the plan, which meant to continue holding the line and to attack the monsters orderly.
Avoid close combat as much as possible. Only engage in the final attack if they could not hold their defense or had run out of ammunition.
But now, Ye Zhongming had rushed into the group of monsters alone to kill the commander, jumping into a clear trap.
Not only could Ye Zhongming feel the location of that monster, but everyone, all the Cloud Summit warriors, could too.
Everyone understood that the monster had a very high IQ, using the Yama Tree’s temporary greed to create the opportunity for Ye Zhongming to take risks, presenting a dilemma for the King of Cloud Summit.
The monster was telling all humans, "Come and kill me, I’m right here. If you come and kill me, the monster legion will naturally collapse, and you can win easily. But if you don’t kill me and retreat instead, you’ll force your subordinates and the remaining two hundred thousand monsters to fight desperately, piling up your success with their lives."
Perhaps this is what a higher intelligent life would do; only high-level beings would have such courage.
The powerful Ye Zhongming must have been seen by that monster, but it still chose to expose itself, undoubtedly also foreseeing the outcome of this battle. It made Ye Zhongming fight for his life; in fact, it was fighting for its life too.
In the end, it depended on who had better luck.
But it was certain that the monster had the advantage because Ye Zhongming was, after all, alone.
Originally, it was unclear how long this battle between humans and monsters would last, but it suddenly moved to the final decisive battle in this manner.
"Yangos, and the air force of Cloud Summit, I’ll leave the flying monsters to you all. Even if they die, we cannot let them disturb the ground!"
Xia Lei’s voice spread throughout the Cloud Summit battle formation. She had made a decision, even if Ye Zhongming or the Cloud Summit warriors might resent her afterward.
She was indeed the controller of Cloud Summit, the decisive decision-maker apart from Ye Zhongming. Considering the overall interests of Cloud Summit, or following Ye Zhongming’s orders, executing the original plan should bring Cloud Summit a victory with the best cost-effectiveness.
However, she was not just the second executor of Cloud Summit; she was also a woman. Seeing her man being overwhelmed by monsters, in imminent danger, Xia Lei made her decision.
She was not a self-sacrificing hero, nor a person with the world in her heart, and certainly not a tyrant who ruled alone. She was just a woman, a woman in the apocalypse. Everything she did was because her man hoped she would do so.
Thus, for the sake of her man’s safety, Xia Lei could sacrifice anyone, including the hundred thousand warriors of Cloud Summit, so many core members, Liu Zhenghong and Le Da Yuan, even herself!
Given this, it was obvious what decision she would make. She knew many would die because of this decision, but she did not care.
"Hey, hey, I say woman, do you know how many monsters are left? Lord Long can’t cover you!"
