Chapter 306 You Guys Are Going too Far
William, who was just about to head out, suddenly stopped in his tracks. The witch under his command also came to a halt, and the other survivors, who had started to retreat when they saw William pulling back, paused as well.
They all stared at this new force that had just shown up, each lost in their own thoughts.
But no matter what was running through their minds, at this moment, everyone was awe-struck by the opulence of the squad's equipment.
Every single one of them was decked out in gray-level gear, all matching!
Even the smaller alliance groups, who had practically gotten free gear from William, couldn't promise that each of their members had a piece of gray-level equipment.
But this new squad? They nailed it. And all their gray weapons and gear were identical.
This was a squad of five hundred people, each kitted out with four pieces of gray gear: clothes, pants, shoes, and weapons.
While others were gawking at the top-notch gear, William was sizing up their strength.
They were strong, really strong!
William figured that if his Cloud Peak Manor folks went head-to-head with these guys, leaving out himself, Cloud Peak Manor would definitely lose.
This realization made William super cautious.
In Accraville City, William and his Cloud Peak Manor crew weren't scared of any random group and could even take them down.
But this squad? If he didn't step in, his people would definitely get wrecked by them.
First off, there was a huge gap in individual strength. In this squad, three hundred were one-star Evolving folks, and the other two hundred were all two-star Evolving folks!
This blew William's mind. The apocalypse had only been going on for a bit over three months, and having two hundred two-star Evolving folks would need like fifteen to twenty thousand second-level Magic Crystals to get that many Evolution Elixirs. Besides some evil group like Zero Commerce Guild that fed humans to zombies, who else could pull this off?
William couldn't help but feel a wave of murderous intent. He had serious doubts about where these people got their Magic Crystals.
Secondly, these five hundred people were split into five teams of a hundred, each led by a three-star Evolving person, and each three-star Evolving person had at least one piece of white-level gear!
Five three-star Evolving folks!
No, William's eyes locked onto the front of the squad, where three people without the standard gear stood. They were two three-stars and one four-star!
William gripped the Edge of the Moon tighter.
How was this possible?
There were seven three-star Evolving folks and one four-star Evolving person!
William knew the mysterious president of Zero Commerce Guild was definitely a four-star Evolving person. Besides him, there was only William himself and the Red-haired Iron Corpse, a Human puppet.
Now, another four-star Evolving person had shown up. How did this person pull that off?
And seven three-star Evolving folks! Right now, Cloud Peak Manor only had Pill and Darryl at that level.
These people definitely had some secrets!
William was sure of it. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, no one could get so many high-level Evolution Elixirs just three months into the apocalypse.
Lastly, what shocked William the most, was the combat style of this squad; it was all about militarization!
Their coordination, their combat methods—everything screamed military training. This group had clearly gone through the strictest military drills.
The combat effectiveness of human The combat effectiveness of Evolving humans with military training was vastly superior to those without, at least two to five times better. Sure, this gap would shrink or even disappear as the apocalypse dragged on and everyone got tougher, but right now, this trained squad was almost unbeatable against an equal number of enemies.
William found it odd. These people had gone through strict military training, yet they didn't have that soldier vibe. So, where did they come from?
"Who are these people?" Darryl asked, looking a bit worn out. Luckily, he had William's necklace that restored mental power. He used a few Magic Crystals to recharge and felt better. But seeing these folks, Darryl's cocky attitude came back.
Today, William had only managed to grab the materials left behind by the elite alliance after spinning the roulette, wearing himself out. They had scored a bunch of Magic Crystals, but they couldn't spin the roulette again because the zombie camp was stabilizing, and without the level-five Battle Pet to keep things in check, the mutant animal camp could attack at any moment. The Evolving folks in their squad were also too tired to keep fighting.
These reasons made them pull back to rest and plan their next move, allowing William to use the remaining spins of the Accurately Exchange Roulette Wheel.
But what were these people up to? Were they trying to cash in on the chaos we stirred up today?
If they killed some zombies around to get some Magic Crystals, that would be fine. We were all in this together, for mutual benefit and all that. But this roulette was disrupted by William from the start, forcing back the level-five Dragon, and now significantly weakening the zombie camp, making the mutant animal camp too scared to come close.
Almost everyone knew that this roulette now belonged to William!
Darryl pulled out some of his saved-up Magic Crystals to restore his mental power. Even if he didn't transform to scare these guys, his Swamp Wizard skills weren't just for show.
But William stopped him.
"Let's see what they're up to first," William said.
There was a spark in William's eyes, and he was definitely pissed.
William didn't actually want to hog the Poppy Roulette Wheel, but the reality was that no one else had the strength to spin it, so naturally, all the good stuff went to William.
If someone else had the strength, William would be happy to accept it because then he could team up with that person, making it much easier for him to spin the roulette without risking his life every time.
Sure, he'd get fewer things in the end, but at least it would be safe, and no accidents would happen. In the apocalypse, accidents sometimes meant death.
For example, in William's previous life, it was an accident that got him killed.
But that didn't mean others could take advantage of him.
This squad had clearly been lurking around for some time, observing William summon a powerful Battle Pet and then disappear, use his bloodline to kill the Zombie King and go into cooldown, create chaos among the zombies and push back the Mouse King, and watching his team get exhausted and withdraw from the fight.
They knew the small alliance couldn't stop them, knew William's peak strength for the day had passed, knew other forces couldn't pose any threat, and then they showed up.
This was straight-up robbery!
William had also taken advantage of other forces, like in the battle for the armory, but his actions didn't harm their interests, didn't steal their spoils, and didn't put them in danger.
But these people were blatantly infringing on William's interests!
William, who hadn't felt a killing intent towards his own kind in a long time, now felt a surge of murderous rage. 'You've gone too far.'
