Chapter 113: Boar King
As compared to the city where there were abandoned cars and destroyed buildings, the suburbs looked much better.
But the wandering zombies, mutated monsters and the few corpses that got eaten up was a clear sign to those alive that this was the apocalypse.
Ye Zhongming placed down the binoculars and realised that his palm was a little wet.
He was someone with dry hands so such a situation was rare.
Ye Zhongming knew that he was nervous.
Probably anyone who faced a nine star expert in the last life would be nervous too.
Ye Zhongming set his final target here, a green boar farm. At the same time, this was where many true experts were born in his last life.
Boar King Gu Pan!
Speaking of Gu Pan, people in his last life will only describe him with the word, legendary.
His stories were as legendary as those web novels. They were really interesting. If one wrote a novel based on his story, his evolution process was like he was blessed by the heavens.
To say something, this fellow was hacking.
The reason why this Gu Pan was so strong and overpowered was because he had a bunch of loyal mutated boars.
Right, a bunch. Not one, not two, not ten but a whole bunch.
It wasn’t rare for humans to have pets. For example people like Ye Zhongming who had a close relationship with animals during peacetime so the pets were really loyal to them. During the apocalypse after these pets mutated it didn’t affect their relationship and they thus evolved into battle pets.
There were many such examples. It even made Ye Zhongming suspect whether or not the mutated cat by the Talking Lady’s side was her pet. If not it didn’t explain how she had three skills at level two.
But be it Ye Zhongming or Talking Lady, they both had pets that made people jealous of them. However, that was just one. This Gu Pan had many and their evolution levels were really high.
When Ye Zhongming heard about Gu Pan, this Boar King had 30 evolved wild boars at a similar level as him. At that time, Ye Zhongming was just three star while this Boar King had reached six star and he had a bunch of level six mutated boars. That Gu Pan might not be invincible among humans but he was definitely top ten.
When Ye Zhongming reached five star, this Boar King was already a nine star expert. He was one of the first humans who reached that level. Moreover, he had five boars left, each was level eight. In terms of strength, no human dared to say that they were stronger than him. After all, he had level eight helpers that were loyal to him.
Even Mu Xinfei who Ye Zhongming had met said this about Gu Pan-- People with pets are rare, but for you to have so many pets, that was more than enough.
At that time, many survivors envied Gu Pan.
But that probably proved a phrase that was that geniuses and crazy people were separated by one line. This Gu Pan was such a person. He was strong but he was stubborn and didn’t want to join any faction. He too didn’t create his own faction. He just brought his boars around to kill high level zombies and monsters. He went into fallen cities and dungeons for his adventures.
But in the dangerous apocalypse, unless you were so strong such that nothing could threaten you, if not one person’s use was very limited.
Gu Pan was like that. No matter how strong he was, no matter how strong his boars were, he was alone. Those mutated boars allow him to challenge things above his level, allowing him to gain crystals to evolve quickly but when he reached his peak, his five level eight boars were really attractive to people.
Finally, two nine star experts and their factions joined hands to sneak attack him. After holding him back, the two nine star experts killed the five level eight boars and then dealt with Gu Pan. After killing him, they fed his corpse to the pets and formed the first level nine pet in human history.
Gu Pan’s glorious life ended in tragedy.
At that time, Ye Zhongming had just become a six star evolved.
People started to understand things about him when he died. Especially after someone started a book called The Strongest Humans which recorded human history during the apocalypse. Ye Zhongming read it and knew that Gu Pan and he came from the same city. He knew that Gu Pan opened a farm and was a pig feeder.
So Ye Zhongming targeted this boar king and locked onto his boars that had evolved to level two.
He needed to evolve and he needed a large amount of level two crystals. This was the only place that he felt could give him the amount he needed.
Maybe he had to kill a future nine star expert this time but he didn’t mind. Wang Ding was a nine star expert that was known as Heaven Blade but he still sliced off an arm of his. If not for his mental energy running out, one future nine star expert would have died at his hands.
Since that was the case, why not kill another?
Moreover, Gu Pan’s life sounded sad but how did his boars evolve so quickly? How were they able to maintain the same rate of evolution as their master when they were level six or seven?
That was because of blood, most of them were human blood!
No one was innocent in the apocalypse.
Everyone deserved to die!
Looking at the hundreds of corpses in the pig farm that were left with bones, who would believe you if you said that they were all zombies? How many workers could a farm have?
“74.” Mo Ye wiped off the sweat on her forehead and felt her mouth was a little dry, “Among them, there are 46 level two ones and 28 level one.”
“Damn!” Little Tiger’s face was actually filled with excitement, causing Mo Ye to roll her eyes at him.
“Zhongming, should we reconsider?” Teacher Park was shocked. The dense group of mutated boars was just too terrifying. They hadn’t even seen so many level one mutated lifeforms together, not to mention level two ones.
Ye Zhongming breathed out slowly, “High risk high reward, since that is the case why not we go all out!”
He looked around, “This will be dangerous. Xia Lei and Engineer Le you stay here, the rest follow me. Any objections?”
