Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 636: Scapegoat

Peng Liang sat on the chair and closed his eyes to try to maintain the aura and dignity of a boss.

This was a failure of an operation.

They were sabotaged initially; they couldnt see what they got from the wheel and were forced to flee.

At this point, less than 40 people survived.

They had lost three-quarters of their squad.

No matter if he was willing to admit it, Surging Motion Battle Squad would disappear from the list of first-rate teams in Linhai City. They might not even be able to survive in this place.

Peng Liang knew he had to do something to secure his current position.

He knew why he became a five-star evolved in a place like Linhai.

Without a bunch of people, he could rip off, he couldnt maintain his high combat strength, and he would lose everything.

However, the operation failed, and he suffered huge losses, resulting in low morale. Various thoughts rose, and the entire squad would collapse if he mishandled it.

Peng Liang had to settle their hearts. He had even to ignore whether or not their loyalties remained with him. At least they were still here and continued to serve him.

Under such a situation, Peng Liang had to regain his prestige.

How? There was no better way in the apocalypse than to be more vicious, cold-blooded, and bloodthirsty.

The current best choice was naturally the new joiner!

He saw his subordinates lead that person in. His gaze landed on the silver blade on his back, and he didnt hide his shock and greed.

Who knew that not only did he come, but he even brought him such a huge gift?

The current Surging Motion Battle Squad didnt have a piece of silver equipment. Even in the entire Linhai City, he had never heard of anyone with more than two.

Compared to the outside world, Linhai had scarce resources and had too few good equipment.

But Peng Liang wasnt a fool. He knew that someone with such a weapon would have a backing. In ordinary times, he would try to recruit this person and get him to join.

But things were different. Although Yang Yixi told him that this person was from another part of the city due to his evolution level and knowledge problems, they didnt know that Peng Liang didnt believe their words.

Peng Liang knew those people with silver weapons, even if they were in the city's other side.

So he guessed that this person was from the outside, and he used a method that none of them had figured out.

There werent many fools in the apocalypse. Moreover, Peng Laing was the boss of a battle squad. He thought about many things and guessed where Ye Zhongming came from.

What was more suitable than using someone who had a silver weapon and came from the outside world, someone who might know how to escape this city, to be a scapegoat?

It was as if he was specially prepared for him.

Especially when he saw Ye Zhongming, he was sure that this person was a survivor who was strong but not as strong as him!

Peng Liang stood up and stretched. He slowly walked in front of the group.

Peng Liang looked at the 80 subordinates, remaining as well as their suspicious gaze. His heart became much firmer.

Everyone knew that we have suffered a loss, a huge loss.

His voice was low, and he began his performance.

I admit that I am sorry. I was careless, resulting in our squad suffering our biggest loss. Many of the brothers werent able to return.

Ye Zhongming crossed his arms and looked at Peng Liang, whose eyes were turning red.

We will take revenge! One day, we will kil Du Song and his squad!

He went from solemn to spirited. One has to say that some people were born actors, no matter if they learned it before in school.

But!

He finally reached his main point. He looked around and roared, Did you think why Du Song was waiting there for us? Why did he set the fireworks the moment I spun the wheel? He wasnt in our squad, so how did he know about the operation?

The subordinates nodded. Indeed, only a day passed since they set the operation. Du Song wasnt in their squad, so if he could grasp their operation time, then There must be a traitor.

Right, there is a traitor amongst us!

Many people looked at one another warily.

Traitors were things that people hated the most.

All of you have followed me for a long time, and we have been through a lot. When we were just a few people strong until we expanded to this scale. We are brothers, loved ones.

I wont believe if any of you betrayed us.

Peng Liang had walked before Ye Zhongming and stared at him, But one person is new. Moreover, he knew about our operation yesterday. Since my brothers cant betray me, then who is this traitor Do I have to spell it out?

Many people instinctively stepped away from Ye Zhongming, and their animosity towards him grew.

Some even pulled out their weapons and were waiting for the order to slice him into pieces.

Boss, Ye Zhongming is not the traitor; he came here accidentally! Yang Yixi explained anxiously. He didnt believe Peng Liangs words. Moreover, this concerned whether or not he could exit Linhai. He didnt want Ye Zhongming to take the blame like that.

The people who fled back with Ye Zhongming didnt believe it either. Which traitor helps them hold up the rear? Such a traitor would be too selfless. All of them helped explain the situation to Peng Liang.

There were around 20 of them, and they made up the majority. They suppressed the other suspicious people.

Shut up! Peng Liang shouted and stopped them. His eyes were red, Would I blame others for no reason? What good would that do for me? You are speaking up for others? Think about those dead brothers; can you answer to them?

If you can identify a traitor so easily, then today wouldnt happen!

Peng Liang shouted and looked at the subordinates who wanted to say something more. He knew that he had to settle this quickly.

Men, capture this traitor. Break his legs, and he will tell us the truth!

Ye Zhongming suddenly laughed. He looked at Peng Liang, whose acting was really good, and asked, Are you done?
