Doomsday Roulette

“我们不想杀死所有人，你们也一定不想被杀死。”

Guangyao stood at the front of the Cloud Summit's encirclement, his voice amplified throughout the Holy City.

“我们来，谈不上正义，只是复仇，或者你们理解为征服也未尝不可。”

Ye Zhongming stood behind him, having already given orders to several ninth-level evolvers to be ready to act at any moment.

He, along with Yama Tree, the spirit woman, and Mo Ye, each took charge of a section, preventing any sudden attack from another ninth-level being that might be hiding above the palace of the Holy City.

“我们需要这座城市作为我们来到这里的礼物，但！”

Guangyao's tone grew heavier, silencing the residents gathered near the palace, causing the earlier murmurs of shock at words like death and conquest to fade away.

“我们不需要你们。”

Even those who had been thinking of resistance felt a chill at this statement.

In the apocalypse, not needing someone often meant death.

Whether it was the genetic life forms or mutated rats, or even the missiles that once filled the sky, these people knew that the Easterners were fully capable of killing them.

The crowd began to stir; if death was inevitable, they didn't mind fighting desperately... or pleading for their lives.

“可我们并不是嗜杀的人，你们，做为我们的同类，也不应该被像畜牲一样被屠杀。”

The crowd quieted again.

“如果你们按照要求来做，那么，你们可以离开。”

For these residents of the Holy City, leaving their home was undoubtedly a difficult thing to accept, but compared to saving their lives, it didn't seem as significant.

Many were now thinking, the Holy City is so large, could these Easterners really not need residents? Would they willingly give up the opportunity to exploit them?

But they soon learned the answer.

“你们离开的条件就是…………交出你们的所有。”

“是的，你们没听错，我们，要打个劫。”

Many residents of the Holy City began to move; some attempted to break out, others sought refuge in the palace, while others incited those around them to fight the Easterners.

Suddenly losing everything after so many years and only left with their evolution level made survival in the apocalypse not impossible, but it significantly lowered their chances.

The distance between the Cloud Summit team and the residents of the Holy City was not great, and when they made some unwanted noise, the attacks came rushing in.

Magic Crystal Firearms, ranged weapons, professional skills, and the innate abilities of battle beasts indiscriminately covered the front of the evolver faction from the Holy City, lasting for two minutes.

In the face of absolute strength, coupled with a sudden attack, this action could be considered slaughter without a doubt.

When it stopped, at least ten thousand people had been killed, and this was still a result of the Cloud Summit controlling the attack coverage.

Naturally, even if it were truly a massacre, the initial period was the most intense in terms of firepower.

The attack caused the crowd to fall into chaos, and after it stopped, many made their choices.

People constantly left, some stripped off their gear and walked out in mere clothing or even without any clothing.

Humans can be strange; as long as there is a glimmer of hope for survival, they won’t fight desperately.

They interpreted the saying "better to live in disgrace than die in glory" with their actions.

In just half an hour, more than one-fifth of the people left everything behind and departed.

Under the supervision of the Cloud Summit, they all left the Holy City from one direction. They wouldn’t resist; without any gear, they had lost all confidence.

As more and more people left, at one point, the Cloud Summit team thought this was how things would end, and Ye Zhongming and others were ready to attack the palace.

“呵呵。”

A strange laugh resonated, vibrating the entire space.
