Late at night, all the higher-ups and core members of Cloud Peak were gathered together.
“Everyone has heard about the situation. There is no point in being angry. What we need to do is think of a solution.” Xia Lei sat next to Ye Zhongming. She looked at everyone, and her usual smile was now a frosty expression.
“There is no point saying the usual stuff; let’s discuss specifics.”
Everyone focused, and no one spoke first. After all, any mistake and people would die. No matter what they did now, they had to be careful.
“We can decide which is more dangerous than the others and then solve them individually.” Lu Yi was the oldest and most experienced here, so he was the first to speak.
Ye Zhongming nodded and was impressed. This Lu Yi was excellent; his thought process was really clear.
Looking at the paper, Lu Yi said solemnly, “The closest problem would be the group from Ying City Jail. If possible, we can use grain to trade for peace and send them away.”
The others shook their heads.
The Ying City Jail people came because of what happened previously. They felt Cloud Peak was easy to bully, so they were here to extort them.
Trade grain for peace? They wanted to steal all your grain!
They won’t let that happen, so they must fight Ying City Jail.
“Seems like everyone knows that we must fight this then, okay? After Ying City Jail’s problem, we must solve the two factions holding our members hostage. We have to save our people!” Lu Yi’s tone was firm, and everyone agreed.
This was what made everyone angry. The apocalypse was the same as peacetime. If one wanted to live, one had to fight for resources. It was okay if people ended up dying but holding people hostage would anger others. Compared to Ying City Jail which used others, the group wanted to wipe out East Mountain Village and Lou Family.
“As for the threat from Tech City Team, we can ignore them and wait for the other problems to be solved first.”
Lu Yi placed the paper with all the information and said, “Finally, it would be the zombie horde problem. We will face a huge crisis if the zombies don’t change their path. This is more problematic than other things, as the zombies won’t retreat. Either we wipe them out, or we get broken into. Apart from that, there was no more third possibility.”
After digesting Lu Yi’s words, everyone looked at Ye Zhongming. They had an idea, but how to execute it was down to him.
“Do you have information about Meng Lin?”
“Yes!”
Xia Lei nodded, “Ying City Jail’s Zhang Dalong has five heads under him. Meng Lin is one of them; he isn’t the strongest but the weakest. He is average. He has 200 men under him, which he brought over this time. He is a two-star evolved, and his job is unknown. He has 50 one-star evolved and dozens of guns with unknown amounts of bullets.”
“I know you pay close attention to Ying City Jail. We spent two evolution potions. Yuan Shang, that fellow, earned ten potions from us during this period. All of his men are nearly about to become evolved.”
Ye Zhongming nodded. He touched the table, and ten potions appeared.
The core members knew their boss had space equipment, so they weren’t shocked. But the others seeing this for the first time, were shocked and had never seen such a magical thing.
“Little Tiger, tell the normal soldiers about attacking Zhang Dalong. Select those who are willing to go and then give them potions. If it is not enough, then ask for more from me. Remember, select them first and then give them the thing.”
Little Tiger stood up and walked out with the potions. Along with the five Ye Zhongming gave Mo Ye, Little Tiger had 15 one-star potions on him. This was a sizeable sum.”
“Master Le and your helpers stay; Tang Tian and Candy stay. When we are not around, the base is up to you.”
Seven one star evolved to defend the base; this was already really little. But in desperate times, they needed to use people in many areas, so this was all they could do.
“If someone attacked the villa, if you can defend it, then defend; if not, then retreat. Don’t risk your lives, okay!”
Le Dayuan and Candy were the most critical parts of Ye Zhongming’s plan so that nothing could happen to them.
After saying that, Ye Zhongming looked at Mo Ye and the others, “The others, get ready; our fight is about to begin!”
“Since the danger couldn’t be avoided, we will wipe them out!”

Yuanshang looked at the back view and was speechless.
He returned right away when he got news from Cloud Peak. This was a massive piece of business, and they were very generous. No matter what, he could trade it for potions as long as it was useful. He had gotten ten and six immunity potions in the short half a month.
These things did help them get much stronger.
Although they knew Cloud Peak was in trouble, Yuanshang didn’t want them to fall like that. He would try his best to help so that they could hold on.
But… That didn’t mean that he was willing to sacrifice a lot.
But, after he rushed back here, what happened was that he was surrounded by a few hundred.
Then… Then a guy with an excellent attitude stole all their explosives, including the one he kept as a last resort.
Yuanshang wanted to kill Ye Zhongming but knew that if they fought, he would lose.
He had no choice but to hand over all his bullets.
His heart was bleeding; this was all he had saved up.
But that guy’s words made him feel better, and he gambled.
“Once it ends, I will give you a two-star potion.” That annoying guy said that.
Yuanshang yielded. He looked at his back view, and for the first time, he prayed and hoped that the young Cloud Peak could survive this danger.
