Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 262: Relatives

Chapter 262: Relatives

“I have arranged the men and decided on the location to monitor.”

Young Master Yun met Ye Zhongming in a seed company in the suburbs of Ying City. Although he didn’t know why his new boss would select this location, he didn’t ask. He even helped his boss to clear this seed company’s storage.

The scenes of those weird vines appearing beside his boss during the day of the battle and he guessed that his boss had a plant-related job.

“Did you tell them not to alert people?”

Ye Zhongming squatted behind an abandoned car to observe the situation ahead before asking Young Master Yun softly.

“I told them. The binoculars you prepared allow us to stare at Lou Family from a few hundred meters out. If the suspicious figure you say appears, we will monitor him and also find their base.”

Ye Zhongming nodded.

All signs showed that Lou Family and Soul Merchants had a close connection. In his last life, Soul Merchant was a giant everyone had to look up to. It was an infamous organization, and if possible, Ye Zhongming didn’t want to offend them before he got stronger.

But things went against his wishes. He didn’t want trouble, but they found their way over. Moreover, it looked like their faction included the Cloud Peak region.

Since they couldn’t have peace with them, Ye Zhongming had to be prepared. Young Master Yun and his Hungry Tiger Cavalry made him realize that he could try to find the fellow willing to sell his soul for interest.

As for why he wasn’t willing to use people from Cloud Peak, he was being safe. If Soul Merchants found out, it would cause Hungry Tiger Cavalry some problems, and wouldn’t expose himself. After all, only Young Master Yun knew that Hungry Tiger Cavalry had joined Cloud Peak.

Apart from that, Ye Zhongming had limited manpower, and this area would restrict his future development. Nurturing a faction that he could control now would undoubtedly help him in the future. Another benefit would be that he held another gachapon to radiate Cloud Peak’s powers outside.

Ye Zhongming brought Young Master Yun to this Ying City networking event because he was from Ying City. Although Ye Zhongming lived here in his last life, that was a few years later. The city had changed. The other reason was to observe Young Master Yun and decide on his potential.

“You are a Swamp Wizard?”

Young Master Yun exclaimed and nodded, “Right, Boss, how did you know?”

“I saw you use your job skill that day.”

During the battle with the horde, Young Master Yun used one of the skills-- Lethal Swamp. A level three zombie fell into it, and Ye Zhongming saw it.

“Where did you get the job scroll from?”

“I got it from a colored gachapon in the cement factory. We got our few job scrolls and used most of our crystals there. If not, we would have a two-star evolved.”

“But the wheel exploded for some reason.”

Young Master Yun was terrified when he thought about what had happened that day. If not for him being outside, he would have died.

“The colored gachapon is dangerous; the black region can’t be touched.” Ye Zhongming casually said.

“This job is good, but it consumes huge mental energy. I use the skill once and need a week to heal up. Just thinking about it makes my head hurt.”

Ye Zhongming naturally knew that. The Swamp Wizard was a job with a weakness as it consumed too much mental energy. Moreover, as it was a wizard, the job user’s physical strength would reduce, and the overall mental strength would job. It was early days, and his job level wasn’t high. If his level increased, his body would get weaker and weaker, and he would end up like bones. His mental energy wouldn’t rise much and only maintain at a stage where he could use just one skill.

Survivors found some relevant skills and equipment to support this job, for example, Mental Fountain, which could increase mental energy. For instance, some bloodlines could reduce the adverse side effects on their bodies.

But no matter what, this job was strong, and each skill was powerful. Young Master Yun was fortunate.

The two of them walked forwards, and Young Master Yun saw how strong Ye Zhongming was.

The density of zombies and monsters in Ying City was terrifying. These mutated monsters could be seen everywhere. You might turn a corner and bump into some.

Moreover, their evolution levels were much higher, with more level-two zombies. You would often see dozens or a hundred level-two zombies gathered together. Without Cloud Peak’s strength, Young Master Yun felt it was better that they didn’t try.

But his boss just charged and slashed with his blade. He was swift, and very few level-two zombies could keep up. Their talent skills missed. Moreover, his boss was very cunning. He slashed and killed for a while before he disappeared. When he appeared, he was already on the other side. A 30-zombie-strong group was dead in just ten minutes which meant Young Master Yun tongue-tied.

Ye Zhongming’s strength increased after he reached three stars. He just needed some slight strategy, and he would be able to deal with such a small group of zombies.

Of course, he couldn’t do such things often. If a level three zombie heard the commotion and tied Ye Zhongming down, the other two would immediately drown him.

At night, a quarter of a district was away from the meeting area. They would be able to arrive before the deadline of noon of the following day.

The night in the city, they belonged to the zombies and mutated lifeforms. Even Ye Zhongming, a three-star, didn’t dare to be too arrogant. Young Master Yun observed for a while before selecting a building to be their camp for today. The building wasn’t tall and was near the other buildings. They could use their evolved bodies to jump if there were any dangers.

But the moment they arrived on the roof, another group climbed up, and both sides were at a standstill.

Killing people and stealing their items was too common in the apocalypse.

“Wait, don’t attack!”

A middle-aged man charged out and told his men not to be rash. He also told Ye Zhongming to place his weapon down.

“Little Yun, is that you?” That guy stopped both sides before walking over.

Young Master Yun was stunned. Little Yun was a very female nickname, and it had been long since he was called that. Only his own family would call him that.

The sky was dark, and they could only see him clearly when he walked over. Young Master Yun’s eyes opened wide, and he shouted, “Uncle?”

The middle-aged man was Young Master Yun’s uncle and relied on his family to do business. Since they were young, they had a close relationship. He thought he had died and didn’t expect to meet him here.

“Where is father? Where is my father? How is he?”

Young Master Yun did take a risk to go home, but there was nothing but blood and flesh on the floor of his villa. He realized it should be his father, uncle, and a few relatives. He left Ying City with sadness.

Who knew he could bump into his uncle, who should have been in the villa then?

Didn’t that mean that his father…

Young Master Yun was suddenly extremely nervous and was afraid of hearing bad news.

“He is fine; Brother-in-law is fine; he is in our base now!”

Young Master Yun teared up right away. Young Master Yun didn’t understand what it meant to know the value of something before he lost it, but now it was something he held closely to his heart.

At this time, the ten people on his uncle’s side walked over. The leader was a two-meter-tall guy who squinted his eyes to look at Ye Zhongming, who looked defenseless and like a rookie. He then ignored him and glanced at Young Master Yun, who had a rifle with a silencer.

“Old Jia, he is your relative?”

Old Jia was Young Master Yun’s uncle. Hearing this guy call him, he wiped his tears and turned back, “Right right, Team Leader Lin, he is my nephew. I thought he was dead and didn’t think I would bump into him here. Look, can I…”

He reluctantly took out a level one crystal and placed it into that guy’s hands.

He scoffed and kept it, “You can bring them back, but you need to tell them the camp's rules. Don’t blame me for not reminding you if they do anything wrong.”

Old Jia nodded, “Okay, I will tell them. Team Leader Lin you don’t have to worry.”

“Also, we will set up camp here today. Tell them to find some food for us.” Team Leader Lin said before ignoring their reaction; he just sat there to chat with his men.

Old Jia slapped his nephew’s shoulder helplessly. But he noticed that his nephew was looking at the teen beside him with… Some respect.

Old Jia was shocked. His nephew lacked skills and only knew how to enjoy life. But he was arrogant and was not even afraid of his parents. Why does it look like he respected this person?

Ye Zhongming squinted and thought about it before nodding toward Young Master Yun.
