Apocalypse Gacha Chapter 1251- Trapped merchant squad (2)

“Can you block it?”

Zhan Pingkang looked at a sweaty subordinate and asked. His voice was hoarse, and each word he spoke felt as if his throat was being sliced.

Zhan Pingkang suffered from never-before-seen hardships in a short day.

When Luyi was around, he only had to be in charge of his own work and manage the evolved in the merchant squad.

Although people were arrogant in the apocalypse, they weren’t tough to manage. Experts were the kings. He was a six-star evolved. Apart from the core members, his status was there,, making everyone respect and listen to him.

Cloud Peak was a special presence in the apocalypse. Members had a good relationship with each other and were similar to family. This reduced the difficulty of management.

He would occasionally wonder if he could do similar things if he were a core member.

But this time, Luyi fainted due to his heavy injuries. As the deputy, he had to take up responsibility.

Pressure hit him in the face.

Only now did he know that it wasn’t easy to be the leader of a battle squad. Not only did you have strong and mature coordination ability, but you also needed to be experienced.

The first merchant squad defended on the spot. They used the modified trucks to surround a semi-circular area. They relied on several abandoned apartments to defend.

However, facing numerous attacks from the monsters, some of the trucks were destroyed, and the defensive ring became smaller and smaller. Some trucks were about to be pierced through and were on the edge of being destroyed. If that happened, the defensive formation would be broken.

“We can only use stone, but…” The subordinate’s hands were covered in blood. He was a mechanic before the apocalypse and obtained a job related to repairing. This made him one of the few support-type evolved.

Such a position wouldn’t have any status in other factions as their combat strength wasn’t strong, and others would rip them off. This subordinate suffered from a few months of bad life because of that.

But everything changed when he came to Cloud Peak. This place cared a lot about support-type talents. He was able to put his skills to work and was thus very well treated. His status was even slightly higher than ordinary evolved of the same level.

The merchant squad was special, and they had high demands for the stability and safety of the vehicles, so this subordinate was shifted here.

But who knew that they would face this situation?

He was just a repair-type job user, and he wasn’t omnipotent. After the monsters attacked, the trucks started to have problems. But these problems weren’t mechanical issues but physical damage that he wasn’t good at.

His job skills didn’t help much in repairing such physical damage.

But he couldn’t say anything and could only continue to work. His blood wasn’t from the metal but because he had overused his job skills.

But there was a limit. Even if he worked over his limit, he finally couldn’t take it. A huge hole appeared in the truck and couldn’t be repaired normally. They could only use a rock to block it up. But only the apartments behind them could provide that. If they demolished them, the defense at the back would be a problem.

Zhan Pingkang ripped his hair out helplessly, and his subordinate’s reply frustrated him.

Dong dong dong!

The sound of monster running could be heard once more, representing the start of another attack.

Zhan Pingkang jumped onto a truck and looked around. He saw that a few hundred monsters charged from various directions.

These monsters were organised. They didn’t go all out each time, sending only 500-800 at a time.

It was as if… They were training!

The merchant squad members all felt that way. These monsters without demon crystals seemed to have dropped from the sky.

“Push this truck out! Reduce the defensive circle!”

If they kept this truck with a hole in the defense line, the monsters could enter from the hole. Zhan Pingkang had to abandon it and close up the others to reduce the defensive area.

This solved the problem and strengthened the defense but it increased their pressure.

Evolved immediately followed instructions. Their terrifying strength allowed them to adjust the truck’s position in a short time.

While doing that, the monsters had reached the front.

Hong hong hong!

Some monsters struck the defensive line. Some tried to jump onto the trucks to attack.

The trucks were modified and they could be chained together. It was impossible to knock one aside. Their bodies were covered in spikes. The top and body had circular holes that would have meter-long metal spikes that would pop up to hurt the lifeforms.

Where the head and carriage connected would spit out high temperature gas that had terrifying destructive powers.

Monsters fell onto the roof because they were hurt. Some fell into the defensive ring while some fell outside. There were some that fell onto the roof and were continuously stabbed.

These monsters had a high defense against energy attacks, but their defense against physical attacks was average.

The trucks were only able to block them for some time and they charged into the merchant squad quickly.

Cloud Peak’s merchant squad had faced many dangers in the apocalypse. Although they were at a disadvantage and forced to defend, they were still very powerful. They had good understanding with each other and used the timing and number advantage to kill the target.

During the first few minutes of the battle, they had no casualties and killed dozens of monsters.

But as more monsters crossed the trucks, the chaos began.

Human and monsters fought in the narrow space. Weapons and skills flew. They ignored friendly fire and focused on killing the enemy.

Zhan Pingkang waved his blade to kill monsters. Under his leadership, their evolved had the advantage. The formation also gave them some breathing space.

But when everyone thought that they would be able to defend this attack, the apartments behind started to collapse. Within a few seconds, they lost the barrier at the back. Five monsters double the size of the others appeared. They had smelly saliva and sharp teeth. They stared at the humans with their red eyes.

But the merchant squad members turned toward the one in the middle.

There was a person on it.
