Apocalypse Gachapon Chapter 2067: Going towards death to live

A colossal, semi-transparent mass materialized from the rear diagonal, plummeting with furious momentum toward Xia Lei's location.

This behemoth, comparable to a colossal mountain peak, contained within its translucent form countless savage monster visages shrieking furiously at the Cloud Peak inhabitants below!

So immense was this entity and so sudden its aerial appearance that the entirety of Mei City bore witness to the spectacle.

Even veiled by certain materials, its overwhelming presence, like a collapsing sky, was simply unignorable!

A wave of astonished outcry swept through Mei City.

No one had anticipated such a method of enemy assault.

How did they arrive there? What powers did they employ? Wouldn't they perish from such a drastic fall?

And... the destination of their descent... was the very nexus of Cloud Peak's operations!

"Guang Yao, take command!" Xia Lei managed to transmit this single directive mere moments before the immense, semi-transparent mass detonated. A deluge of green-skinned demonic entities rained down, immediately engulfing the headquarters' site.

Numerous Cloud Peak squads felt an instinctive surge to reinforce; many warriors teetered on the brink of desperation.

Up to this point, Cloud Peak held a point of considerable pride: in over eight years navigating the post-apocalyptic landscape, despite the sacrifice of many exceptional warriors, the villa's core members had maintained a flawless record of zero fatalities!

Following the emergence of Cloud Peak's inaugural top-tier lifeform, no such entity had ever faced peril.

Even during regional conflicts, akin to unification wars, no faction proved significant enough for Cloud Peak to deploy more than three top-tier lifeforms!

Yet, in the zone now under attack by these monsters, an alarming number of vital personnel were present.

An entire elite squad was positioned there!

A total of four top-tier lifeforms were in that vicinity!

All personnel belonging to Cloud Peak's staff department were located there!

And present also... was Xia Lei.

With Ye Zhongming's departure to engage with the Cosmic Races, she stood as the singular, true pillar of Cloud Peak!

Given that the Cloud Peak King had yet to sire an heir, should Xia Lei fall into peril, Cloud Peak would be plunged into utter disarray!

Instantly grasping the gravity of the situation, many reacted with a powerful, instinctive response.

Including Little Tiger, Tong Hu, Ah Yang, and seven to eight other combat teams, they immediately began disengaging from their current battles, all converging on the headquarters.

"Everyone, hold your ground! Dammit, hold your ground!" Guang Yao's strained voice crackled through the Battle Contribution Badge, and those in his vicinity witnessed his equally strained countenance.

Both he and Xia Lei had sensed the battle progressing with unnatural smoothness, prompting them to probe for anomalies through various means.

But who could have possibly foreseen the enemy materializing in such an improbable fashion, undetectable from above or below, outside or within?

It was as though they had emerged from an alternate dimension, abruptly manifesting within Cloud Peak's defensive perimeter, directly above its most crucial command center.

Guangyao understood that this very moment demanded decisions—decisions that could shape his own future, and even the future trajectory of Cloud Peak.

"Li Daqian, provide cover for Little Tiger, carve a path for the cavalry leading to the headquarters! Regardless of any obstacle, you must achieve this! Even if every one of your war beasts falls, you must succeed!"

"Airborne units, Red Hair and the Undead Dragonfish, any flyers available, disengage from the main engagement and proceed to reinforce the headquarters!"

"Deacon Tong, proceed to reinforce the headquarters immediately!"

"Chuyin, escort Sister Rong and protect Sister Hong and Master Le! Should the battlefield confirm Xia Lei's demise, immediately lead your forces back to the villa to restore order and stability."

"All others, maintain your current operations! Death King Tree, Mo Ye, you will serve as the central command, gathering and directing the surrounding Cloud Peak warriors!"

"Long-range artillery, commence firing, expend all ammunition and skills. There is no need for conservation at this critical juncture!"

"Magic crystal cannon units, target all demon monster concentrations within range at the headquarters. Others, focus fire on the parasites infesting the city... Remember, regardless of the target, do not hesitate to engage, even with the risk of friendly fire."

Across the entirety of the Mei City battlefield, every individual possessing a Battle Contribution Badge, and thus qualified to receive orders, absorbed the commands Guangyao issued within mere seconds.

The final instruction, regarding the disregard for friendly fire, resonated with a somber weight for many.

While some were perplexed, viewing Guangyao's directives as questionable, a greater number of core members recognized this as potentially the most viable strategy under the prevailing circumstances.

Who could have possibly conceived that these parasites would orchestrate such a monumental trap?!

The trap's design was deceptively simple: bait and ambush. However, out of the five point five million parasites deployed, an astonishing four point five million, accompanied by two top-tier lifeforms, served merely as bait. The ambush force, manifesting through an extraordinary means, directed its assault squarely at Cloud Peak's command infrastructure.
