Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 89: Getting face back

Chapter 89: Getting face back

Ye Zhongming suppressed the urge to continue crafting. He knew that the strength of the ghost metal was not obvious to the beginner Smith that he was. Without better materials and blueprints, he couldn’t show its advantage so crafting now was just a waste.

Of course, he also did not have any more level two demon crystals.

He returned back to the room they were at. The three girls were slightly immune to Ye Zhongming doing magical things. After looking at the blade they retracted their gaze. It was Xia Lei and Little Tiger who were shocked.

Moon Edge wasn’t a short dagger that could be hidden on the body. This fellow was around a meter long so it was hard not to pay attention to it. This man ran out with only one but now he had two when he came back?

They had witnessed how strong Moon Edge was. Especially Xia Lei. She was an expert at using blades. When she graduated police school, she learned from a northern sect’s blade expert. She knew what was a good blade too. She was sure that the blade was the best one that she had ever seen.

She was more shocked than anyone else that another such blade appeared.

Although his brother Chen Long’s death made him a little unhappy with Ye Zhongming, but he knew that he wasn’t to blame. In such a world, anyone might die and they might have to choose death at any moment. He had placed down that unhappiness. Seeing Ye Zhongming get the new blade, naturally, he grouped around.

“Hey, you got another blade? Let me take a look.”

He wanted to grab it. He moved really quickly.

Ye Zhongming squinted his eyes and sidestepped. He dodged when Little Tiger was about to touch the sword handle, “You want to take a look? Sure, let’s see if you can grab it.”

Little Tiger who wanted to test his skill was excited when he heard that and he laughed, “You were the one that said that, don’t blame me for bullying a sick person.”

After saying that, he placed his left leg out to block Ye Zhongming’s retreat path. His right elbow lifted up at his chin. If this hit, he would basically knock him out.

Seeing Little Tiger’s clean movement, Ye Zhongming was pumped up too. He reached out to cover his chin while also bending his knee to suppress his leg.

The strong elbow hit the palm and was grabbed tightly by Ye Zhongming’s fingers. His leg was being pushed down such that he couldn’t move. Little Tiger didn’t panic. He used the suppressed leg as a pivot, clenching the other hand and then punching while twisting half of his body.

But suddenly, he felt his body lose balance. However, he was a well trained soldier, he took in a deep breath to regain his balance, shifting his fist to continue attacking.

But he stopped as Ye Zhongming disappeared from his view. In the next second, he was pushed from the back and that straightened out his body.

Little Tiger placed his fist down as he knew that he had lost. If that push was a strike, he would have died.

“My strength and speed are worse than yours, that is not fair.” He was not accepting of defeat and felt like it was caused by the gap in body physique.

Ye Zhongming admired his personality and slapped his shoulder, “There is no fairness in this world, whoever is strong creates the rules. Moreover, even if you evolved you are still not my match.”

Little Tiger stretched his neck, “I don’t believe it.”

“The time when you attack to kill instead of attacking to suppress is the time when you have the right to fight me.”

After saying that, Ye Zhongming took out a map to place on the table. He didn’t care about the slightly stunned Little Tiger.

In the apocalypse, you can choose not to kill people for no reason but you can’t not know how to kill.

“We are here.”

Ye Zhongming pointed at the map. This was something he prepared before the apocalypse.

“We are heading here.” Ye Zhongming pointed at another spot.

This is the new region of the city and it has been developed for only two years. Most government organisations have moved here. Xia Lei’s husband is working there.

“This place is not near here.” Liang Chuyin said. These few days of apocalypse life made her look fiercer and she didn’t look as gentle and tender as before.

The straight line distance from their current area was over 20 kilometers. They also had to go past the center which was where most people were at. There were many zombies there too and it was relatively dangerous.

Ye Zhongming nodded, “We definitely can’t drive. A week has passed so the zombies and monsters have occupied the area. If we make noise, we would attract streets of zombies. That is too dangerous so we can only walk.”

“Moreover,” Ye Zhongming pointed, “Here, here and here are tough areas. Not only do we need strength, we need some luck.”

Ye Zhongming pointed at a large living area, the city center as well as another surprising location which was a medical organisation.

“I can understand the rest but what is up with this?” Due to her job, Mo Ye was familiar with the city so she pointed at the hospital.

There… Ye Zhongming’s eyes flashed.

Naturally, he knew the reason but he didn’t know how to explain as he was not too sure.

“The hospitals during the apocalypse are weird so we need to pay attention.”

Everyone naturally didn’t understand such a fluff answer. But no one asked as Ye Zhongming had proven that he had been correct many times.

“Since we have decided on the target, I have chosen this route.” Ye Zhongming picked up a pen and drew a line.

“I can understand moving around to avoid the dense region but walking from here? If we do it, even if things are smooth, we will take 15 hours and that is double the time. Why so?”

Xia Lei was very anxious but as she was a professional, she was still more calm than normal people. Seeing Ye Zhongming’s detour, naturally, she was unhappy.

“You understand the situation outside more than me so what do you all see?”

The few of them looked at one another. Liang Chuyin said, “Large amounts of zombies, more than before. Moreover, some are weird, they are stronger than normal zombies. There are also the mutated plants and animals that although aren’t everywhere but they are more common.”

“Also people, a lot of bad people.” Teacher Park said weakly. During these few days, her values and morals were overturned. She saw many cruel things which left a huge impression on her.

“Right.” Ye Zhongming sighed. The few days of being unconscious were a waste. He felt that it was a waste if not he would have turned into a two star evolved. If not, his strength would be much stronger than now, “It is tough to walk outside now, each inch is covered with something that might be able to kill you.”

He turned towards Xia Lei, “I promise to send you to your husband but that doesn’t mean that I will use my friends and my life to take a risk. I can’t ensure that everyone will survive but I have to try my best to make us safe. I think Little Miss Xia doesn’t want us to die before we get there right?”

“Then your detour…”

“To get stronger to increase the chance of sending you there.”

Seeing Ye Zhongming’s firm attitude, Xia Lei didn’t say anything else.

“Are we heading out now?” Mo Ye asked.

“No.” Ye Zhongming shook his head, “These few days all of you have suffered, naturally we have to get our face back!”
