Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 125: Problem of the tunnels

In the past, Yellow Ball’s talent skill was thin needles which were something that furry animals had.

This was a decent aoe attack. Although it wasn’t really strong but when fighting numerous enemies like zombies, mutated mosquitoes etc, it was quite effective.

But Yellow Ball’s attack was a single-target attack which was much stronger than before. It was even able to pierce the outer wall of the building.

Yellow Ball didn’t get a brand new talent skill so it was still using thin needles.

Thin Needles that he could control the strength and amount?

That was unheard of.

Ye Zhongming and the dog experimented outside for some time and he was able to confirm that Yellow Ball’s Thin Needles did evolve. It could control the amount of fur it could fire. When it fired a large amount, the strength would be little and when it fired a few strands, it was really strong. Those fur on its neck could be fired one by one and the strength of those fur was many times stronger than other parts of its body.

He touched Yellow Ball’s dense golden fur. Ye Zhonging knew that this fellow’s combat strength was one of the highest in the team now after it evolved. If Mo Ye and Little Tiger didn’t have Moon Edge, they didn’t even have the ability to face off against Yellow Ball.

He told the valiant Yellow Ball to stand guard before joining in to deal with the boars. No choice, there were too many boars that took them more than half a day.

Fortunately, they had Jia Ming, Da Ming, Le Dayuan and his five helpers. Including Ye Zhongming and Park Xiuying who had recovered some mental energy, they were nearly done with the meat when it reached late at night. They decided to finish the rest in the morning.

They rested in the building and woke up early to deal with the meat. After this, Jia Ming and Da Ming led them to the new district base.

As there was too much meat, they couldn’t carry them all. Ye Zhongming hid half of the meat that they couldn’t bring here. After they left the base, they would then bring these with them.

Yellow Ball was too eye-catching so Ye Zhongming didn’t bring it with them, telling it to stay here to guard the boar meat.

This place was a slight distance from the new district base. Ye Zhongming saw that the density of zombies around wasn’t high so he found two cars. He smashed the window and messed around to ignite the engine.

“You even know this?”

Other people didn’t know but she knew Ye Zhongming’s identity. He was just a normal student. If there was something different about him, it was that his girlfriend was the school flower. But the more they hung out, she felt that this guy, no little guy was not like a student at all.

Which normal student will know this? His skills were too professional that even car thieves were worse than him.

Ye Zhongming pouted and didn’t reply to her question.

This skill wasn’t anything special, it was one of the most essential skills in the apocalypse. When the job system totally collapsed, many survivors could modify and merge many abandoned cars into new drivable cars as long as they had petrol.

Dozen of them sat in two cars and headed towards the direction that Jia Ming and Da Ming pointed them to. Half an hour later, they came to a filtration factory.

“Jia Ming and I found this place so others don’t know it yet.” Da Ming was delighted. After seeing Park Xiuying, he changed the overall rating of the girls in this team from A to an S.

“That is the new district base.”

Jia Ming was calmer and he pointed to the area nearby.

Everyone looked with their binoculars and knew why Jia Ming had to come out through the water tunnels.

The new district base was built really quickly and they only used bricks and cement to block the space between buildings. It formed something similar to ancient walls. With a small district as a base, they expanded the safe regions.

The land size was still okay from the outside, after all, the new region was not as squeezy as the city. No wonder they were able to fit ten thousand people.

Although Ye Zhongming knew that they could become Cloud Mountain War Squad, but at least it didn’t look that good now.

At this moment, the area outside the base was covered in dense zombies. Probably, all the zombies in the new district were attracted here. They surrounded the base and scratched the cement walls. Occasionally, one could see mutated zombies. In just a minute, Ye Zhongming saw one Brain Sucker and a level two Frog Feet Zombie.

Apart from these zombies, there were some mutated animals that were around. For example, in the east near the road, there were over a hundred mutated birds which were all chickens, ducks and doves. They were the size of puppies and their flying ability was much higher. Just by flapping their wings, they were able to fly several meters into the sky. However, they weren’t able to sustain it and were only able to glide for a short distance.

These should be the birds raised by the farmers but due to special reasons, they all mutated. They were all very bloodthirsty now which was why they were all gathered here.

The highest mutation level out of all of them was level two, moreover, there was more than one. So be it the people in the base or those zombies, there was nothing they could do with these mutated birds. Instead, these birds would attack some zombies to fill their stomachs.

Since they faced no dangers and could get food easily, these mutated birds remained in the area.

Ye Zhongming noticed that this side of the wall was better guarded than the other areas. It was obvious that the people in the base were worried about the flying birds. They were afraid that they would ‘fly’ over the wall and attack the survivors in the base.

“Life in the base isn’t too good. We can’t see the other side from here but there are more zombies than them and many are level two. Like your dog, their crystals are white in color. They would attack the base and each time people would die.”

Jia Ming brought Ye Zhongming and the rest to a room in the factory. He opened an iron door that was locked and walked in. While walking, he explained to them the situation at the base.

“Be careful, mutated rats and bugs would often appear in the tunnels.”

“So dangerous?” Le Dayuan was worried when he heard Jia Ming say that. After all, he wasn’t evolved, “Then what if you all face those things, what do… You do?”

Le Dayuan’s words were obvious. Jia Ming and Da Ming were just normal people so if they bumped into the rats, they would get eaten.

The two of them smiled bitterly, “No choice, it is better than dying from hunger in the base. Fortunately, the mutated animals here are afraid of light so torches and flames can scare them off.”

The water net here was really advanced, it was so wide that humans could pass through it. Ventilation was good too. There was a weird smell but it was less thick than imagined.

Jia Ming was very familiar with this place. He followed some marks that he left and successfully brought everyone to the area below the new district base.

“There are four entrances to the new base and each one of them are tightly guarded. The guards will collect entrance fees from the strangers but don’t worry, it isn’t much. It is best if it is food or weapons, just a little and one can enter. As for anything else, it depends on the mood of the guards.”

Light could be seen from ahead and one could hear the sounds of people speaking.

“The entrance fee isn’t much to all of you so I didn’t mention it beforehand, I hope you all don’t mind.”

Ye Zhongming nodded but he told everyone to pass their weapons to him while the two people led the way and he placed them in the space crystal.

Everyone stepped on the soft mushy ground as they walked forwards. Based on what Jia Ming said, just a few more minutes and they would see the biggest pipe and after entering, that would be the west entrance.

But before they saw that entrance, seven to eight people appeared in another tunnel.

“Isn’t that Jia Ming, you went out to hunt? What did you get?”

The middle aged man saw Jia Ming and waved to him. His gaze was more focused on Ye Zhongming and the others.

Ye Zhongming just glanced at him before ignoring them. They were just normal people and without guns, they were of no threat to him.

“Uncle Zhao.” Jia Ming waved and his expression didn’t change. Da Ming on the other hand was nervous as he grabbed the boar meat that he got.

“Da Ming you found something good? Let me take a look?”

A guy appeared behind Uncle Zhao who was of similar age to Jia Ming. He didn’t care whether or not Da Ming agreed and just went to grab the bag.

Da Ming was shocked and took a step back. But the tunnel was just so narrow so he bumped into Le Dayuan.

That guy grabbed the bag and snatched it over. He exclaimed, “Damn, such a big piece of meat?!”

Hearing that guy exclaim, the others surrounded and saw the barbecued meat in the bag. They started to drool and wanted to rip a piece to eat.

Da Ming was anxious. This was mutated boar meat. He saw Ye Zhongming slice them off a level two boar to pass it to Jia Ming and Da Ming. After eating it, their bodies would get stronger and this was what his family needed.

Now that these people snatched it, how was he going to get it back?

Da Ming who had eaten two meals of mutated boar meat was different from before. His body was a little stronger. He directly pushed that guy to the ground such that his head hit the pipe behind him. He scraped a bit of skin and blood flowed out.

The accident occurred really quickly. Apart from Ye Zhongming and the other evolved watching, the others couldn’t even react. Now that someone was injured, the situation got a little messy.

Uncle Zhao’s smile disappeared and went to help up his son. Seeing that he was fine, he frowned, “He just wanted to see your stuff so why did you have to be so vicious? You want to get beaten up?”

Jia Ming sighed but he still smiled, “Uncle Zhao, Da Ming is rash so I hope you understand. He saw the meat that he used his life to get getting snatched away so he got anxious. How about this, take half of the meat so Brother Tai can nourish his body.”

Ye Zhongming agreed to give each of them a piece but when paying up, he was very generous and sliced close to 15 kilograms each. Moreover, this was mutated boar meat. Based on what Jia Ming said, this could at least be exchanged for 50 kilograms of rice and two buckets of water.

In a base where there was a food shortage, this was a huge sum.

But it was obvious that these people didn’t realise that it was level two boar meat and they treated it as normal meat. If they saved a little, this was enough for them for two days.

“How about this, I won’t make things tough for you, I will take the meat.” Uncle Zhao grabbed the bag. He saw Jia Ming and Da Ming’s expressions and laughed coldly.

They thought that this was all he asked but he added another sentence, “And also yours.”

He actually wanted all of Jia Ming and Da Ming’s meat.

“And also all yours, put down your bags!”

Uncle Zhao’s son Zhao Tai held his head and saw that everyone was holding big bags. They were heavy so who knew what was inside? His greed made him hold a steel pipe and shout.

Zhao Tai wasn’t a fool. He observed that there were a few guys with glasses that looked weak so their bodies weren’t a threat. There was also a few beautiful girls but the lighting wasn’t good so he wasn’t able to see clearly.

The ones with combat strength were just the two guys at the front. But they looked young so they shouldn’t be strong which was why he was so bold.

Moreover, Zhao Tai sold meat in the past and he could tell that this meat came from a cow or pig. Since the cut was so clean, this meant that they found a whole cow and the rest was in the bags of these people.

Uncle Zhao looked at Ye Zhongming and the others but he didn’t stop his son.

“Dumb!”

A female cursed and that attracted attention.

Liang Chuyin crossed her arms which made her c cup chests looked really huge. She looked coldly and these pieces of trash and said in disdain, “Return the meat and then scram as far as you can!”

If one had to say whose temper was the worst, it wasn’t Mo Ye or Xia Lei. It definitely wasn’t the studious Park Xiuying. It was the influencer Liang Chuyin who was born in a village and went through tough times in life. She had to go from a model, to bar singer to actor etc jobs, and she faced many problems which caused her personality. In her words, if she wasn’t strong she would have been swallowed up by others.

She looked on coldly as Jia Ming and Da Ming were bullied. After all, they weren’t her partners so she didn’t need to stand up for them. She only cared about Ye Zhongming and put most of her attention on him. She saw him frown and knew that they annoyed him which was why she stood out.

Liang Chuyin felt that this was what an underling should do. Of course, she hoped that she was just an underling now and her identity could rise in the future.

“#%*)#@), you dare to scold me? Let’s see if I settle you today!”

Seeing Liang Chuyin walk to the front and she was actually really beautiful, desire rose in Zhao Tai’s eyes. He reached out to grab her chest and his action was really perverted.

That totally infuriated her.
