Chapter 539: I want her's then

Was Sky Elephant Division and Guang Yao really arrogant?

Definitely not. They were very smart. Be it during peacetime or the apocalypse, there were still many societal elites.

It didn’t matter if they knew about the apocalypse before it started, but one thing couldn’t be denied. They did a very good job. One Sky Elephant Division was actually just slightly weaker than Cloud Peak.

They might not have a solution for the ocean giants, but one mustn’t forget that they only used a third of their strength. What if they used it all? They could kill the ocean giant if they had more time.

Cloud Peak’s crystal weapons were strong, but what if they fought the Sky Elephant Division? Cloud Peak might win, but they would also suffer huge losses.

So, although Ye Zhongming thought this was a chance to get rich, he didn’t treat him as a fool.

But there was a serious difference in opinion.

“Mr. Ye, do you think this is appropriate?” Guang Yao’s eyes twitched, and he was in a bad mood.

The situation they were facing was still very serious. The retreat of the ocean beast wave was only temporary, and they might attack at any moment. What could they do then?

Guang Yao and Ye Zhongming both sensed a few strong auras. If these mutated lifeforms attacked together, would they be able to hold on?

If the city had only Sky Elephant Division, Guang Yao’s answer would definitely be a no.

But Ye Zhongming and Cloud Peak’s performance gave him hope as this faction could split the pressure with him.

Ye Zhongming’s appearance increased their chance of survival by at least half.

This was why he didn’t fight Ye Zhongming for the ocean beast's body. Guang Yao also suppressed the other factions to avoid offending the Ying City Alliance.

He came here because he wanted both sides to work together to get stronger in the short term to fend off the ocean beast wave.

Naturally, when Ye Zhongming saw that Guang Yao was a little arrogant, Guang Yao thought the same. This mysterious new faction had many things that Guang Yao wanted.

Those guns had crystal weapons chiseled on them.

He used his gender to promise that it was a weapon that crossed eras!

He was tempted. He felt like this was a perfect chance to get the weapons. He could sense the pressure of death when facing these ocean beasts, and he believed Ye Zhongming could feel it, too. Under such a situation, negotiations would be much easier than peacetime.

But before he could say anything, the Cloud Peak head, who was young, actually asked for the Holy Army Coat. He suppressed the rage in his heart and asked with a bad attitude.

Ye Zhongming didn’t mind and waved, “Quite good.”

Before Guang Yao, who was so furious that his face turned white, could say anything, Ye Zhongming continued, “Both of us understand that the wave can attack at any moment. Our chance of stopping it isn’t high; even if we work together, it isn’t high.”

Guang Yao calmed down and continued to listen.

“Our only chance of surviving is like before.”

“What do you mean?”

Guang Yao asked Ye Zhongming, who seemed very calm.

“Kill their leader.”

Ye Zhongming waited and allowed Guang Yao to digest his words. He had a bit of a teasing expression in his eyes.

“As long as we kill the high-level lifeforms, the ocean beast wave will retreat like today.”

Guang Yao thought about the ocean beast wave retreating after the two ocean giants died and believed what he said. But he felt like something wasn’t right. He thought for half a day but couldn’t identify the problem.

“That is our only chance.” Ye Zhongming was trying to brainwash him, “In the entire Cloud Port, apart from the two of us, maybe Meng Xiangjiang can kill some of the leaders, then… No one else. But you can sense that there are definitely more than three of such leaders.”

“In other words, we both have to kill two at least and maybe even more.”

Ye Zhongming smiled, “Commander Guang Yao, do you think you can do it?”

Even if Guang Yao was confident, he wasn’t so confident that he could kill two or more level seven lifeforms. Moreover, they might be above level seven.

Guang Yao could only lower his head.

“But if we work together, we might be able to.”

Guang Yao looked at the young face. Shouldn’t he be the one saying those words?

“We can raise each other’s strength, kill the leaders, and then leave. As for whether or not we are friends or enemies in the future, that is a problem for next time. What do you think?”

Ye Zhongming looked at the ocean beasts in the distance that were getting a little restless; his mind continued to run.

“So you think I should give you my equipment?” He pointed at the coat on his body and looked disdainful, “Do you know what this is? Do you know how strong it is?”

This was a negotiation tactic. Guang Yao wanted to use Ye Zhongming’s interest to get what he wanted.

“Why not you stand there, and I hit you with a few shots to test it?”

Ye Zhongming touched his chin like he was considering if the crystal weapon or the coat would win.

But Guang Yao was furious. Did this fellow not know how to negotiate? Was that something someone should say when they were negotiating? Wasn’t he afraid the talks would fail?

“If you can give me a thousand of these weapons and the relevant skills, I can give you a thousand bullet cases and a batch of grey guns.”

Ye Zhongming laughed coldly, “Do you think I am a fool?”

“Then do you think I am a fool?”

Guang Yao replied. Both sides stared, and no one took a step back.

After half a minute, Ye Zhongming laughed, making Guang Yao slightly uncomfortable.

“How about we each take a step back.” Ye Zhongming took out an evolution potion and passed it to him.

“Two-star potion? What would I want this for… Yi?” Guang Yao wanted to toss it back but realized something and observed the potion.

“You want my crystal weapon, and I want the equipment. This is our best item. Since we can’t agree, let’s go for the second best. I will take out my second-best equipment, and you take out your second-best. Although it might not get the effect we wanted, it is what we can both accept, right?”

“What do you want?” Guang Yao asked excitedly.

“Since you won’t give yours, then I want… Hers.”

Ye Zhongming pointed to someone behind Guang Yao.
