Apocalypse Gachapon
Chapter 968: Huge mutation

“Still calm?”

Ye Zhongming hurried back. He saw that the situation was still the same, so he was more at ease.

He was afraid that he would return to see Red Hair dead and Cloud Peak suffering massive injuries.

Although the situation didn’t get better, at least it didn’t get worse.

“She did go berserk a few times, but she resisted it. The gap between episodes is getting shorter; I think she can’t hold on for much longer.”

Liu Zhenghong dealt with the soul pearls. She used equipment that she and Le Dayuan developed together. It used the crystal weapon’s theory to create a device that helped extract energy.

More accurately, it was an injector. But instead of injecting liquid, you injected energy.

Red Hair couldn’t absorb energy from the soul pearl herself, so they could only use this method to help her.

Maybe because she sensed Ye Zhongming’s arrival, Red Hair’s eyes looked towards this direction before she closed them again.

Ye Zhongming tried to communicate with her through their minds, but like before, there was a reaction but no clear message.

Very quickly, the thousands of soul pearls were extracted into four devices. Liu Zhenghong passed them to Ye Zhongming.

Ye Zhongming looked at the Brainchild that was hiding behind the zombie horde, “Get these things to move aside.”

Although Red Hair controlled the Brain Child, it was still a brain bug and had its own way of thinking. The situation put him in a spot. Although the other zombies protected Red Hair through instinct but, they knew that it wasn’t Red Hair’s intention.

But if Red Hair lost control, they would be on opposing sides to Cloud Peak. If she knew that it let Ye Zhongming in, then…

“Do you believe that I will kill you now?”

Ye Zhongming frowned, and the Brain Child became cowardly immediately. It made a few sounds to the zombies before it. Some of them were level six, and many were level five. The rest were level four on average. They hesitated before opening up a path.

Ye Zhongming walked over as if these fellows didn’t exist.

He walked before Red Hair and saw the trembling veines. Ye Zhongming slowly pulled Red Hair’s arm over while paying attention to her reaction. He then injected the first device into her.

Then the second, then the third.

“There is an effect!”

As the energy was injected, the black lines started to retreat. The red threads on the vines and the leaves on her hair started to disappear or wither. Everything was proceeding in a good direction.

Ye Zhongming continued to inject the final bit of energy.

Those black lines continued to retreat.

Red Hair had an important position in Cloud Peak’s system. After the rebuild, Ye Zhongming treated the zombies she controlled as a battle squad. That showed how well he treated her.

Although she couldn’t communicate with Ye Zhongming now, he still sent her a message before moving backward.

But he took a step and then stopped. He turned around and saw that Red Hair had opened her eyes. It was red, and she was staring at him. The vines around her body had floated up and were dancing above Ye Zhongming’s head.

The battle squads raised their guns and weapons. If those vines attacked him, they would shoot her.

Ye Zhongming raised his hand to tell them not to move. He looked at her and started to retreat.

He could receive a message from her. Although it was short, but it was a message.

She told him to retreat.

Since that was the case, he chose to trust her.

Under his orders, Cloud Peak started to retreat slowly and left Red Hair with an empty space.

“She…”

Liu Zhenghong wanted to ask something, but Red Hair made a move.

Those vines went stiff and stabbed the heads of the zombie horde that were back facing her. Her hair grew longer and thrust at her subordinates, who were caught off guard.

One could hear many piercing sounds. Those zombies didn’t know what was going on when their heads were pierced.

The next moment, Red Hair raised them into the air, and they all hung there.

The only exception was Brain Child. When Ye Zhongming retreated, it followed him. It was carefully looking at its boss in shock.

It was not the only thing in shock; everyone who witnessed what was happening was shocked.

The zombies floated in the air, and their bodies quickly dried up. The color of the crystals on their head started to change.

From red to blue, to green, black, white, grey…

Until, they shattered.

“Their levels are retreating!”

“Reverse evolution?”

“They became zombies!”

Even if Cloud Peak was disciplined, some people couldn’t help but exclaim.

It was too weird and terrifying.

Those zombies became skeletons. But the special features didn’t disappear. They still had sharp fingernails and giant bodies; some had spikes…

Their eyes glowed with various colors. Some bone weapons were excreted from their bodies. Their bones became thicker and gave off a metallic glow. Very quickly, their entire bone structure turned into that color.

On the other side, the vines started to wither and then break free from Red Hair’s body. The Red Hair that was covered in leaves began to retract and return to normal.

The skeleton structures didn’t scatter, and they all stood up instead. They pulled out the spikes in their heads and tossed them aside.

Each of them used their empty ‘flame’ eyes to look at the humans with killing intent.

Red Hair sat up and slowly opened her eyes. The red blood had disappeared and was replaced with a thick black.

There was no sinister intentions, just calmness.

As she stood up, those skeletons turned and knelt before her. Although they didn’t make a sound, but everyone could sense their loyalty.

They also used their actions to prove that.

After kneeling, they pulled out bones from their own bodies!
