“From here, we can achieve the best firing range.” Shasha's gaze was fixed on the advancing horde of zombies, and she decided to take action here.
Young Master Yun’s Starved Tiger Knight was responsible for the frontal sniping, while Shasha and her battle team would attack from behind, trying to weaken the strength of the zombie horde as much as possible. They would only circle around to the main entrance of Cloud Summit Villa to participate in the final defense once the horde broke through the third line of defense.
Many of Shasha's subordinates were around, dispatching the not-yet-dead zombies. While there were some who secretly hoarded magic crystals, the numbers were not significant, and neither Shasha nor Xia Bai paid them any mind.
Such things were inevitable. For external forces, allowing them to serve as the main force for frontal sniping would undoubtedly be a joke with their own lives and fortunes. Therefore, Ye Zhongming could only concentrate the main force at the front, supplemented by Young Master Yun and his dozens of evolvers.
As for those responsible for attacking and harassing from behind, they could only rely on Shasha's team. Compared to the Starved Tiger Knight, Ye Zhongming trusted Shasha, whom he had interacted with in his previous life.
“Boss.”
One of the subordinates wiped the dirty blood off his long knife and glanced at Xia Bai and the earth yellow pill in front of him, whispering: “There are at least three to four thousand magic crystals here, maybe even more. That’s about thirty to forty bottles of Evolution Potions. Should we…”
The subordinate didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood the implication.
Previously, they agreed to help Cloud Summit Villa, and the reward was only ten bottles of One-Star Evolution Elixirs. Yet the magic crystals here were enough for them to have at least thirty bottles of potions. Compared to that, the difference was too great. With these thirty bottles of potions, Shasha's team could grow significantly stronger. Even in Ying City, where strong people were everywhere, they might not become the dominant force, but they could definitely step into the ranks of mid-to-upper tier powers.
Since it was like this, why stay here and risk their lives? It would be better to directly mine the magic crystals and leave; the people from Cloud Summit Villa were all at the front holding off the zombie tide and didn’t have time to manage them.
If they couldn’t hold on, then everything would be burden-free.
The only trouble was the ghost-faced woman in front and the two-star evolved big dog, but if Shasha's team collectively decided to leave, they wouldn’t dare to stop them. In front of dozens of evolvers, even if those two were both two-star evolved, they posed no significant threat.
Shasha's expression was calm as she looked at the team leaders around her, softly saying: “Is this the opinion of all of you?”
A few squad leaders exchanged glances. Apart from the one who suggested the idea, two others hesitated and nodded, while two showed a cautious demeanor.
“Our boss has already agreed to help them. If this gets out, it won’t be good for the reputation of Shasha’s team.” one squad leader said quietly, then looked at Xia Bai in front of him, continuing: “Moreover, doing this seems to be taking a huge advantage, but in reality, the risks are enormous. We are only looking at the present and not considering the future. What if the people from Cloud Summit Villa win? Then they would get a large amount of magic crystals and could cultivate a batch of evolvers in a short time. By then, we would become mortal enemies.”
The squad leader who had previously suggested monopolizing also nodded, admitting that his consideration had been inadequate.
Shasha sighed, “You all, remember to keep your promises in the future. Don’t let such thoughts arise.”
The others looked at each other but didn’t speak.
“Do you disagree?” Shasha said helplessly. “If we run into trouble, can we produce twenty bottles of One-Star Evolution Elixirs to ask the other two forces for help?”
