Chapter 938: Bold people are rich
What he was worried about was the losses.
The Posthumous people sent 300 thousand, not including those that were slightly injured and those who could recover; 30 thousand of them were handicapped, with 15 thousand dead.
This meant that nearly 50 thousand of the Posthumous people had lost their ability to fight.
Posthumous people were loyal and courageous and were the best warriors. Sometimes, even Cloud Peak’s warriors were respectful of them.
But they had a weakness: They were single-minded when fighting. Their equipment was backward, and they didn’t have abilities like those evolved on Earth.
This was the reason why they had such huge losses. The other reason was because there were too many of them.
The second highest losses were the Ying City warriors. There were over ten thousand handicapped and 30 thousand dead—around 45 thousand losses.
Those losses mainly occurred when they were helping Cloud Peak defend. At the start, around 70-80% of those who helped Cloud Peak defend were dead.Next was Cloud Peak…
He looked at the numbers, and his body hurt.
Seven thousand one hundred twenty died, 650 handicapped, 1161 missing.
The reason why they were listed as missing was because no one had seen those corpses. In truth, they were basically dead. Posthumous people and Ying City’s numbers treated those missing as dead.
As for why the number of handicapped was so low, it was because those warriors had a huge sense of belonging. Even if they lost parts of their bodies, they chose to fight to the death. Those who survived were knocked out and dragged back. Few of them chose to leave the battlefield by themselves.
Although not all the dead were warriors, there were some technical members, logistics, and family, but Cloud Peak didn’t have a high population, so this was a heavy blow.
Over half of the other squads were lost besides Xia Lei and Xia Bai’s teams. The few that defended in Cloud Peak were basically mostly damaged.
These people were all nurtured by Ye Zhongming, and they were loyal and strong.
Although they had absorbed Guang Yao and some Ying City squads, the Cloud Peak tribe alliance people were all loyal, they still needed some time to blend into Cloud Peak.
Fortunately, the new members had been through this fight and fought alongside the old members. At least their trust in one another would be higher.
Although the losses were huge, Ye Zhongming was sure that after Cloud Peak went through a period of consolidation, the experience from this battle would make those who survived stronger. They would form Cloud Peak’s spine to influence those who joined after. As long as they were here, this type of fighting style and loyalty would continue, and Cloud Peak would continue to be strong.
Apart from the losses, the damage to resources and equipment also hurt his heart. After all, those things were obtained with money. Now that they were destroyed, replenishing them would be another huge sum.
He looked at the losses and suppressed his sadness. All that remained was what they gained. He took just one look and was delighted.
He was rich this time.
He was unsure how many mutated lifeforms joined this battle, but there were definitely more than 2 million. Cloud Peak wiped out around 1.2 million. They were unsure how many of the other factions were wiped out, but there were over 200 thousand. The remaining 600 thousand managed to flee.
There was nothing they could do about that. Zombies, mutated plants, animals, and beasts merged to attack them. This was the first time anyone had heard of such a thing to date.
The most obvious thing was the crystals and precious materials. There was also food that was filled with energy.
Turning them into jerky would be enough for Cloud Peak’s members for two years.
“The level five and six mutated lifeform corpses have been shifted into the villa for you to handle personally. Levels seven and eight are in Sister Hong’s lab, so you can decide how to split.”
Xia Lei smiled.
Ye Zhongming nodded and continued to look at the report.
There weren’t many level-one crystals, only 40 thousand. After all, the first evolution wave was over, and there weren’t too many level-one lifeforms.
There were slightly more level two but only around 90 thousand. The most were level three and four crystals. There were 500 thousand of the former and 400 thousand of the latter. The numbers dropped for level five; there were 70 thousand. There were even fewer level six, only a few thousand.
The numbers ended here. Levels seven and eight crystals were still in the corpses in Liu Zhenghong’s lab.
After calculating the number of crystals, it was the results of Flame Tiger Operation. Ye Zhongming took a look and was pleased with the results.
Control of two dungeons, large amounts of materials, which included plant materials that Cloud Peak lacked. There were also weapons, potions, equipment, etc. There were some scrolls, job skills, and bloodlines, which mostly came from the Glory Army and God Hall.
Of course, some things couldn’t be listed on the paper. Like the nature gem mines in the dungeons, God Hall’s technologies and equipment. The secret on Lu Lan’s body, etc, which would show their value in the future.
They might be even more valuable than the crystals and materials they got from this battle.
Cloud Peak’s two labs also performed very well. The gene lab’s gene soldier skills became more mature, and their basic research had taken shape. The mass production of Barr’s potion also proved their scalability.
It was the same on Le Dayuan’s side. The research skill of the crystal weapons had soared, and all sorts of ideas appeared. There were over ten research topics. Although they hadn’t created as many varieties as the last life, but Ye Zhongming felt the theories were mostly there. They could probably reach the standards of his previous life within two years.
Anyways, Cloud Peak suffered considerable losses in the battle but also gained a lot. These things will help them recover strength quickly.
Very quickly, outsiders would notice that they were stronger. They were living like stubborn cockroaches and were getting much stronger.
“Brother Zhongming!”
Zhongming’s thinking was interrupted. He raised his head and saw Canndy running over in panic.
This alchemist was more mature than when she had just joined, but she still looked innocent.
“What happened? The mutated lifeform army is attacking again?” Xia Lei teased her. This fellow was already in the same bed as Little Tiger but was still so easily frightened. If anything happened, Xia Lei would be the first to know as the overall commander.
“That, that, Brother Zhongming, take a look, something happened to the little white elephant!”
