Chapter 1978: Who to go?
The people below understood Xia Lei's words very clearly.
The number of parasites was extremely large, and Cloud Peak had a significant disadvantage in this aspect.
Indeed, in the apocalypse, one level-nine lifeform could match many other level lifeforms, but sometimes numbers could truly make up for the level gap.
The simplest example was the Female Guard. They were only a few hundred people, but they could easily surround and kill a level-nine lifeform, and fight two level-nine lifeforms to a standstill.
One could say it was because their equipment was good, all gold gear, or that their levels were high, all eight stars, so naturally they could resist top-tier lifeforms.
But even if they didn't have this equipment and weren't eight-star level, what if their numbers increased tenfold? That would only be a few thousand people. If that weren't enough, would increasing it to ten thousand work?
Quantitative change causes qualitative change; it would eventually be possible.
Moreover, how could one know that among over five million, no top-tier existences had appeared? How many were equivalent to level-eight mutants?
Cloud Peak had to fight these parasites, but how? Even if the entire Cloud Peak went all out, could they steadily achieve victory? Even if they won, would they be severely weakened and suffer heavy casualties, making it difficult for them to carry on in the future?
