Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 126: New district base

Chapter 126: New district base

No matter whether or not they wanted to admit it, no matter if the apocalypse had just begun, evolved would feel superior as they learned how strong they had become.

Liang Chuyin spoke up to leave a good impression on Ye Zhongming but that didn’t mean that she didn’t want to do so herself. Although she didn’t have as strong a sense of justice as Mo Ye and Park Xiuying, but helping the weak was a unique point of women and it was more apparent to her.

Jia Ming and Da Ming weren’t in their team so Liang Chuyin did not need to bother about them. But after all, they were bringing the team into the base. Although Ye Zhongming didn’t say it outright, but everyone was clear that Ye Zhongming wanted to enter to trade some things.

Now that these people were wasting Ye Zhongming’s time and also trying to steal the team’s items, that angered the influencer.

This guy who wasn’t even evolved wanted to take advantage of her in front of Ye Zhongming which pissed her off even more.

She kicked as swiftly as lightning, accurately hitting Zhao Tai’s stomach. This 1.8 meter tall guy was sent flying and he smashed into the wall of the tunnel.

That kick was totally different from Da Ming’s push. Zhao Tai was a normal person and he couldn’t take it at all.

He rebounded after hitting the wall and he couldn’t even say a word as his mouth was filled with blood. He fainted a moment later and blood continued to flow out. His breathing became really weak.

“Little Tai!” Uncle Zhao cried out and wanted to help his son up but he realised that his body was as soft as noodles and he didn’t react at all.

“Kill her!”

Uncle Zhao ordered as those men surrounded them. They had weapons and rods which were bloodstained.

Liang Chuyin’s whip was kept by Ye Zhongming but she was evolved and also had a job. She needed just one hand to deal with normal people. She casually punched twice and that caused two of their faces to deform. After which, no one dared to head forwards.

Evolved!

If any of them didn’t know that she was evolved then they were just fools.

Even Uncle Zhao whose son might be dead didn’t dare to say anything, his face was filled with rage.

Evolved were like gods in the new district base. This aura was something that normal people feared.

“Don’t move your hands!”

Liang Chuyin looked at the person who might be dead from her kick and she panicked a little but that disappeared in an instant.

She killed before. Although she couldn’t adapt to this situation but she was much better than before.

“Move.”

Ye Zhongming only said one word and the team started to move forwards.

Xia Lei shook her head slightly and felt that although Zhao Tai was not right but Liang Chuyin was too vicious. Thinking about it, her face was ice cold.

Da Ming took his own bag back and followed up. There was no need to describe how much better he felt.

Once Ye Zhongming and the others entered the tunnel of the entrance did Uncle Zhao look at his son with venom on his face.

“The guards are up ahead, just follow me.” Jia Ming said and then added, “Thank you.”

Ye Zhongming waved, instead, he said to his own men, “You have to adapt. Such things will happen all the time. Maybe even half of the battles of the apocalypse is to protect yourself from being robbed.”

“Well done.”

Liang Chuyin smiled after being praised.

“Chuyin was right to do what she did.” Ye Zhongming saw the group of people using sandbags to build a simple defence at the end of the tunnel. Each one of them had guns that pointed at the tunnel. There was an iron net on the ground and they had to step over carefully. This was obviously to prevent mutated animals from sneak attacking.

“They might look like they are stealing but these things might be your lives in the apocalypse. So stealing and killing are no different. Even killing them isn’t too much of a punishment.”

“Stand still and prepare to get checked!”

They walked close and a guard walked out from behind before shouting in this direction.

Jia Ming walked over and said towards the guard.

“You can enter but pay the entrance fee! Also, you have to submit weapons!”

Entrance fees were a normal fee in the apocalypse but submitting weapons was something that was slowly removed. No evolved was willing to place their lives in the hands of others. If there was such a request, there would only be two outcomes. One was to leave the city and the other was to fight head on. In his last life, many conflicts occurred because of this rule such that it was slowly removed.

But the apocalypse had just started. Factions would find ways to protect their own interests and safety. Submitting weapons was the most important one which was why Ye Zhongming kept their weapons beforehand.

Jia Ming took out a piece of meat that was around 1.5 kilograms. This was enough for all these people to pass.

That action made Ye Zhongming impressed. This Jia Ming was a thorough and thoughtful person which was rare.

The guard’s expression improved when he saw the meat before he looked at the others and finally at the big bags.

“Open them up and prepare to be searched!”

Jia Ming’s expression turned ugly. He was clear about the commotion that would occur once the bags were seen by those of the base.

“Show them.”

Ye Zhongming opened his bag and the others did the same.

That soldier took one look and his mouth couldn’t close anymore.

How much meat was there? That was at least a few hundred kilograms. This bunch actually had so much food?

He swallowed his saliva. Ye Zhongming took out five pieces, each was around 2.5 kilograms.

“These are for the brothers, it is hard to defend this place.”

The soldier was delighted and the other guards had similar expressions.

Although they were guards of the base and they had food provided to them, but they only had barely enough. They either eat salted vegetables and rarely get a can of meat.

Now that each person could get 2.5 kilograms of meat which could fill them up for two meals, obviously, they were delighted.

“Okay, we are done. You can go up, but the base has rules. Let these old civilians tell them to you, don’t go against them if not getting exiled is the light punishment.”

Due to the meat, the guards had a much better attitude.

They carried their bags and crossed the structures before climbing up the stairs on the walls.

The entrance above was surrounded. This was the second defence line. If the ground was broken through then they would have to defend this area.

There were many guards here and they were shocked when they saw so many people come up at the same time. But they didn’t ask about it as those below had already checked them.

When they were far away, Jia Ming asked, “You have just come and don’t have a place to rest, why not follow us back? We have many empty houses that you can stay in.”

Ye Zhongming hesitated a little before agreeing. He had some things to ask Jia Ming so it was a good choice to leave with him.

“I won’t be going.”

Xia Lei stepped out and said, “I will go find my husband.”

“Sister Xia…”

They were about to go their separate ways so Mo Ye was a little reluctant. However, she knew that Xia Lei would definitely leave as both of them chose different paths.

“Take care Little Ye.” Xia Lei hugged this junior sister and said into her ears, “If you have a chance then leave this guy, he is too cold blooded and isn’t a good person.”

Mo Ye was stunned, she smiled bitterly but she didn’t say anything.

Xia Lei let go of Mo Ye and she waved to Little Tiger. Only then did she say to Ye Zhongming, “Although I don’t agree with what you have done along the way but you are trustworthy. Now we are equal.”

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Ye Zhongming shrugged and didn’t care about it at all.

Jia Ming and Da Ming lived on the west of the new district. These were mostly some built but unfurnished apartments so many survivors gathered here at the start of the apocalypse.

Jia Ming brought everyone back to his home, the eighteenth floor of a building without elevators. As this place was a little high up so many people weren’t willing to come here. There were many empty flats here. There were two empty flats beside where Jia Ming and Da Ming stayed at.

Seeing the two of them return, their eyes were red. Heading out to find food was a really dangerous thing. People would go out every day and there would be people who couldn’t return. Jia Ming and Da Ming went out for a full day and night so they were all worried for the entire duration. Seeing them return, they felt like they had survived a calamity.

Jia Ming had a young brother and his parents. Da Ming’s family was a little bigger. Apart from his grandparents and parents, he also had his uncle and auntie.

The two of them took out meat for their families to eat and they also told their families that they were able to survive because of Ye Zhongming. This resulted in those people being grateful to him.

Ye Zhongming and the others rested in the apartment. As it was unfurnished, there weren’t even blankets there. But since everyone had tents with them so they could live outside, they didn’t need to worry about sleeping on the floor.

But Ye Zhongming still decided to buy some blankets. Little Tiger and the others were evolved and could handle the toughness, however, Le Dayuan was still unevolved. After these few days, he looked a little tired. He didn’t want this person who had a huge influence on his future plans to fall sick or even incur injuries.

He called out Jia Ming and he said seriously, “I need to buy some resources and some essentials. Do you know where I can get them?”

Jia Ming nodded, “They are easy to find. Not far from here at the intersection with the south region, there is a small market that sells everything. You just need to use some food to trade.”

Ye Zhongming nodded and then he said something that shocked Jia Ming.

“What about bullets?”

Only then did he know that Ye Zhongming entered the base to restock these things. He thought about it and said, “Only the gun unit and Director Wang have bullets, you can’t find them on the market, but…”

“I heard that there is a black market and occasionally bullets will be sold there.”

Black market?

Ye Zhongming was stunned. He didn’t expect there to be a black market just days after this new district base was built.

The human’s adaptability to the apocalypse was far quicker than he imagined.

Since there was a black market, then…

Ye Zhongming asked, “Then did you see people that… Sell weird things?”

Jia Ming was stunned and said carefully, “What weird things do you refer to?”

“Like scrolls, certificates, potions etc.”

Jia Ming thought about it, “I didn’t see any of that.”

Ye Zhongming was a little disappointed but Jia Ming’s following words made him really interested.

“But I heard people say that there are people in the eastern region that wants to sell a recipe for a high price. People thought that they were crazy but now that I understand a little more about the apocalypse then they should be one of those types that you mentioned.”

Recipe?

Ye Zhongming’s eyes lit up. Recipes were really rare and if he could use them then they would be extremely valuable.

“Can you help me find that person?”

Jia Ming heard people mention it but he wasn’t sure about it.

“These are for you, you can trade them for other things, treat it as your payment. Even if you didn’t manage to find him, it doesn’t matter.” Ye Zhongming took out a piece of meat. Although it wasn’t as big as the one he gave previously but it was 2.5-3 kilograms heavy.

Jia Ming bit his teeth, “Okay, I will find him for you.”

Jia Ming went to find news about the recipe. Ye Zhongming called Da Ming to head to the market to buy some items. When the other girls heard that they were really interested and asked to follow. Even Mo Ye wanted to head out too.

Ye Zhongming had no choice but to let Little Tiger remain to protect Le Dayuan. He even passed Moon Edge to him. But he told Little Tiger to wrap it up so that others couldn’t see it.

The few girls were led by Da Ming down. In just a few minutes they were at the southwest corner. After passing a building, they saw a flat ground with many stores. Many survivors were walking around and occasionally there would be people bargaining.

This was the first time everyone saw so many people gathered together since the apocalypse started so everyone was a little excited.

“The most welcomed product here is natural food but there aren’t many stores selling food and they are all really expensive.”

Da Ming brought a few of them into the market. As their group looked really energetic and not weak and powerless like others, along with three girls being top beauties, they attracted a lot of attention.

After walking for a while, Park Xiuying tugged Ye Zhongming. He looked over and he was stunned. He didn’t expect such things to occur so quickly.
