Chapter 835: Voice in the pillar
“Bullets are out; go take a few more boxes!”
“Here too!”
“What about cannons? Best if they are grey!”
Many people shouted on the Sharp Peak Mountain walls. The loudest was a middle-aged man with a beard.
This was the chosen appearance of many guys in the apocalypse. When everyone struggled to stay alive, most people didn’t have extra effort and time to think about their looks.
“Little Zhao, did you even hear us?”
The middle-aged man saw that no one was moving and cursed.
“No, look. Those monsters are retreating.”
The person pointed and was stunned.
The others looked and saw that the green-skinned monsters that had chased the C Zone people had started to retreat after a few hours of attacking Sharp Peak Mountain.
Like how it was when they came, they were quick.
These fellows who could climb the walls barehanded sent chills down the spines of the guards. If not for the walls behind high and the defense is strong, they might have charged in and killed everyone.
C Zone was in a bad state. The people on the walls were 70% of Sharp Peak Mountain if they lost, the base that the few zones built together would be broken.
Fortunately, these fellows left.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. But sounds of fighting spread from within the base, which was quickly calmed. The guards felt weird and didn’t know what had happened.
Within Sharp Peak Mountain, Ji Ruiguang, who left the wheel, caught up to his men and returned. But this C Zone commander was ten years older and dispirited. After returning, apart from tabulating the losses, he hid in his room and didn’t meet anyone.
This was until Mu Xinfei returned and she was also rejected. Both sides clashed, and Ji Ruiguang reappeared.
“Even if C Zone suffered huge losses, do you think you can behave so arrogantly in front of me?” Ji Ruiguang expression was bad.
This time, C Zone lost two-thirds of their elites, and their strength had reduced. They were the weakest of the four zones. But S Zone still wasn’t in a good state and was breaking apart. They were in a tough state like C Zone.
The strongest zone was now Zhang Hetai’s G Zone and Wen Zhong’s T Zone. Both sides were similar in strength.
If Zhang Hetai or Wen Zhong had charged in, Ji Ruiguang would have swallowed it. But he didn’t think that Mu Xinfei had the strength to find trouble with him.
Mu Xinfei and Bai Sisi led her armed subordinates and smiled, “Thanks to you, S Zone is in a better situation than before.”
One sentence caused his face to darken. He understood what Mu Xinfei meant. It was because C Zone went to stir up trouble with S Zone, and now that those people saw that their backing had suffered huge losses, their thoughts changed. Some were anxious and pledged their loyalty back to Mu Xinfei and her father.
One mistake would affect everything in such a complicated place like the Resistance Zones.
“Don’t be anxious. I came here to send a message, and I will leave after. Your subordinates are just too rude.”
“Just to send a message?”
Mu Xinfei squinted his eyes and was even more furious.
“Right.” Mu Xinfei looked at him and continued, “Ye Zhongming told me to tell you not to forget the Mechanic Fortress you owe him.”
She looked at him with a deep expression and left with her group.
She was heading back to S Zone’s camp, and had many things to do. The cooperation with Cloud Peak was something that she had to complete.
Ji Ruiguang panted and looked viciously at her back view. He turned to return to his room, and he slammed it shut. His subordinates looked at each other.
Ji Ruigaugn retracted her anger and seriousness that he showed Mu Xinfei and became very respectful.
At the corner was a light pillar, and there was a mist rolling within. When he looked there, something was moving.
“Your position doesn’t look too stable.”
An ear-piercing voice spread from within. It sounded very mechanical and cold and didn’t sound like a human.
Ji Ruiguang shook his head, “No, although we suffered huge losses, we are still strong. Give me two years, no, a year, and I could let C Zone become the strongest faction again.”
The pillar remained silent, “I can give you one chance, but you… Need to give us insurance.”
Ji Ruiguang had no way out, and he only slightly hesitated before nodding.
A laugh spread from the pillar, and then a light shot out. With Ji Ruiguang’s six-star strength, he could not react and was covered. The light turned into a ball that trapped him within. He panicked and tried to get out.
In the next second, the black and red lightning struck his body. He opened his mouth and screamed in pain. His face twisted due to the intense pain that he was in.
What was weird was that no sound could be heard outside the ball of light.
A minute later, the ball of light disappeared, and Ji Ruiguang fell onto the ground. His eyes were filled with fear of the pain he had felt.
“This is Starcloud Jellyfish venom; you have tasted it, so follow what I ask. Each month, I will give you thee antidote. If you dare to resist, the poison will kill you.”
The guy’s voice was still unlike a human but those words were as cruel as a human.
“I… Only agreed to work with you, I am not your subordinate.”
Ji Ruiguang climbed up, his body trembling as he said.
“You are now.”
The mist rumbled and then a name, address and face appeared.
“Head to this place, find this person. He is your new partner on earth.”
The pillar dimmed after those words and disappeared.
Ji Ruiguang recalled what he saw and muttered a name.
“Soul Merchant.”
