The monsters in City of Color have a unique point: they look similar.


    The buildings and structures were made of a few types of materials. After they transformed, their colors were similar, which meant that evolved could only differentiate them based on size.


    But size didn’t mean strength; materials didn’t mean strength either. At this point, the evolved couldn’t deduce the monsters’ strength with their eyes and would only know after fighting.


    So when so many monsters pounced, no one knew who they should attack first. They could only aim at the ones that were closest to them.


    In this batch of monsters, a few dozen of them were quick. A person from Nalan Battle Squad was held back by two of them and then drowned by those who charged.


    “Retreat while fighting!”


    Ye Zhongming shouted, and he led them to retreat.


    They would know what to do without Ye Zhongming reminding them if they were from Cloud Peak. But Nalan Battle Squad lacked the battle acumen. Some people were hot-blooded and wanted to go all out to fight. Some just stuck beside Ye Zhongming and his group and planned to let them save them. Some turned to flee.


    The gap in strength between the two was shown.


    With clear orders, these people stabilized. With Ye Zhongming and Li Qiang’s firepower, they started to toss the stone and iron rods.


    These things could be recycled.


    If Li Qiang had been saving on bullets previously, he was going all out now. The bullets pretty much exited his barrel like a continuous line.


    Many monsters died from such attacks. Their path ahead turned into a road of death.


    Nalan Battle Squad’s collapse was because they didn’t have any battle mentality. Now, with only a few monsters chasing them, they adapted. Many people stopped and started to ask their allies to fight. As the battlefield was scattered, a few dozen warriors could fight one monster. They quickly got the upper hand and completed the kill.


    The battle had ended when they collected the shining stone and iron rods and returned. Cloud Peak’s four members ignored them. Mei Na and Gan Lan stared at them viciously, but they said nothing.


    The two knew it was time to reconsider the squad’s future.


    After killing the monsters, Gao Yi was slightly injured. At the same time, they finished the second street.


    On the tag, their completion rate was 6%, and Nalan Battle Squad was about to hit 1%.


    The final reward depended on the completion rate. Ye Zhongming looked at Trio and No Man’s Zone’s comparison, and the gap was still obvious. He thought about it, and after crafting some bullets for Li Qiang, he had a new plan.


    Gao Yi, Zhao Xiangxue, and Li Qiang continued to lead the team into the streets while he went to a new place.


    This was risky as he was alone. If anything happened, he could only rely on himself.


    So, Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue didn’t agree at first. Even Li Qiang, who was very careful, objected.


    But Ye Zhongming insisted on his thoughts and told them they could push slowly. Draw monsters bit by bit to kill. When there weren’t too many enemies, the Nalan Battle Squad would still be able to help.


    Also, pay attention to the final kills. They had to kill steal from the Nalan Battle Squad. With Ye Zhongming there, it didn’t matter. But without him, their combat strength would drop. They would rely on Nalan more, and if they don’t care about the final hits, the Nalan Battle Squad might take a large number of them, and that would be useless.


    After making such arrangements, he gave them some potions before disappearing into a street.
