Chapter 1941: Internal Contradiction

~8 min read 1,500 words

Ancient Ruins: Babakabo.

This was a wasteland area with strange rocks standing everywhere. From some huge extraordinary animal sculptures, it could be seen that Babakabo had once been glorious, but it was already a previous civilization that had lost to the Zerg.

The buildings in the ancient ruins had all weathered into piles of rubble, and the terrain was relatively flat. The only remaining building was the huge altar in the center of the ancient ruins.

Due to crustal changes, this altar had sunk severely, almost flush with the ground. The iconic buildings on it had long since weathered. Looking from a distance, this was a large piece of stone slab.

The altar was the center of the ancient ruins. On the altar, nearly a hundred contractors were standing or sitting. Some were playing cards in groups of three or five, while others were maintaining precision equipment.

A world core the size of a walnut floated more than a meter high, with a large amount of light patterns covering it and gathering at a slow speed. When these light patterns completely covered the world core, the world coordinate would form.

"172 hours left. Is that madman from the Reincarnation Paradise still not dead? If he were dead, we wouldn't have to guard here."

A contractor lay on the stone slab, bored, with his hands behind his head and a blade of grass in his mouth.

"Not having to risk your life, what else do you want?"

"Have you heard? People from the Death Paradise were attacked, and eight died."

"I hope that madman doesn't come here."

"The occasional Zerg tide and beast tide are also not easy to deal with. The higher the formation degree of the world coordinate, the more hostile the surrounding beasts and Zerg will be toward us."

A few contractors from the Apocalypse Paradise chatted for a few sentences and then all fell silent.

The sky was cloudless, and the scorching sun shone directly. The air in the ancient ruins seemed to be distorted, and the surface temperature reached about 50°.

"Everyone get up."

A loud shout came. The few contractors from the Apocalypse Paradise sat up from the ground, looking slightly puzzled.

"The birds aren't calling, the surroundings... are a bit quiet."

A contractor from the Death Paradise leaped onto a stone pile and looked toward the distance.

"That is..."

This contractor narrowed his eyes, and soon, his expression became solemn.

"The Zerg are coming again!"

The shout spread throughout the entire altar. Nearly a hundred contractors of the Three Paradise Alliance quickly gathered together. They had occasionally encountered Zerg attacks these past few days, but the scale had all been very small.

Forming a world coordinate would more or less be rejected by this world, so the beasts and Zerg in the surrounding area often came to attack. Fortunately, the scale was not large.

"There are many of them, conservatively estimated at several hundred."

"What stage Zerg?"

"Looks like... second-stage ones."

"That's fine."

The contractors formed a defensive line with the world core as the center point. Soon, several hundred Zerg swarmed in from all directions and mixed into a melee with the contractors.

Five kilometers away, Su Xiao stood on a stone sculpture several dozen meters high, observing the situation in the ancient ruins through binoculars.

The several hundred second-stage Zerg that rushed into the ancient ruins were driven there by him. As for why he didn't send out the Demon Beast army, it was because he didn't want to alarm the enemy.

Su Xiao prepared to wipe out the contractors of the Three Paradise Alliance in one fell swoop this time. If he sent out the Zerg army now, the contractors located at the Sun Tribe and Yawa Tribe would never dare to come to the world coordinate point again.

To force all enemy contractors to the coordinate point, it needed to be done step by step, driving other Zerg or beasts through waves of Demon Beast armies, making the pressure on the contractors at the coordinate point increase sharply.

In this way, they would ask the main force for reinforcements. The Three Paradise Alliance had a biggest weakness, which was that they needed to advance and retreat together; otherwise, they would definitely have internal strife.

Assuming the main force of the Death Paradise proposed to reinforce the coordinate point, the Holy Light Paradise and Apocalypse Paradise factions couldn't just watch the show. Guarding the world coordinate was a common task for the Three Paradise Alliance. Even if the contractors of the Death Paradise had strong combat power, they weren't drudges who would work without complaint.

The melee at the coordinate point ended in less than half an hour. After all, there were only a few hundred second-stage combat Zerg, which nearly a hundred contractors could easily deal with.

However, the second wave of beast tides arrived in less than ten minutes, and the battle continued.

When the contractors near the coordinate point killed the second wave of beast tides, their complexions weren't very good.

"What do Yakluo, Mu Yushi, and Afuro mean? Keep guarding for another two days? Since this morning, the Zerg and beasts nearby have become increasingly hostile toward us."

A contractor wiped the beast blood off his face. They were guarding the world coordinate here, while the other seven hundred-plus people were either fishing for benefits in the Sun Tribe or learning techniques in the Yawa Tribe. What was even more hateful was that there were many people who went to mine.

"Contact Yakluo and have them send people over immediately."

"They're coming again. This time there are more Zerg nests, and a portion are third-stage combat Zerg."

"Damn!"

The third wave, no, it should be the ninth Zerg nest today, had arrived.

Slap.

Yakluo threw a dart. The feathers behind the dart spun, hitting the bullseye.

"The general situation, you have all seen in the war channel. If we don't reinforce them, the people at the coordinate point will have a lot of opinions."

Having said this, Yakluo narrowed his eyes. Just now, someone had already started "greeting" his relatives, but that guy was anonymous.

"The war mission has been summoning. Go, or not go? You two discuss it. My opinion is to go. Without branch missions, the benefits we can get are actually limited."

Yakluo looked at Mu Yushi and Afuro. The three of them were representatives of the Three Paradise Alliance, and important decisions were made through discussion.

"Go."

Mu Yushi's answer was very straightforward. If they didn't go now, it was very likely there would be internal strife. The coordinate point side was already very dissatisfied.

"My opinion is to send half the people over. The frequency of attacks at the coordinate point today is too high; it's a bit wrong."

Afuro lowered her head. At this moment, she had a feeling of inexplicable palpitation. This feeling came from nowhere.

"Send half the people? Send whom? Leave whom? Don't forget, there's still a madman in the dark."

Yakluo's complexion began to look bad. Their Death Paradise had suffered the most miserable casualties. Although he didn't care how many of his own contractors died, he couldn't tolerate others using him as a gun.

"Yakluo, have the 3000 Sun Warriors under your command go to reinforce. Look..."

Mu Yushi smiled and spoke. Afuro, who was on the side, actually meant the same thing.

"That's also fine..."

Yakluo had just started to speak when he suddenly stood up.

"Go!"

"Yakluo, bring all the Sun Warriors."

"Our Holy Light Paradise people can gather very quickly. Where are your people, Mu Yushi?"

"They can arrive very quickly."

As the three spoke, they rushed out of the large tent. Just now, the ancient ruins had been subjected to a fairly fierce attack. 690 second-stage combat Zerg, plus 1 giant extraordinary animal. Of the 97 contractors guarding there, 12 were killed in action. This casualty ratio was already something they couldn't just watch.

One had to know that the world coordinate still needed 7 days exactly to form. It had only formed one-third and they had encountered an attack of this scale. In the later stages, those nearly a hundred people definitely couldn't hold out.

The ancient ruins weren't closed, which was both advantageous and disadvantageous to the Three Paradise Alliance. The advantage was that they could act freely and loot benefits all over the world. The disadvantage was that with the formation of the world coordinate, they would be attacked by nearby beasts, Zerg, and indigenous residents.

If it developed according to the normal situation, the pressure on the ancient ruins wouldn't be so great. It wouldn't be until the last three days that they would encounter an attack of this scale.

All Zerg, beasts, and even extraordinary animals were driven there by Su Xiao. He was just waiting for the main force of the Three Paradise Alliance to arrive at the ancient ruins.
