Apocalypse Gachapon
Chapter 169: Once brother

Chapter 169: Once brother

Jia Ming held the bag with two thousand demon crystals and watched as the army vehicle left. He was a little sad.

That person that made him an evolved and gave him a base had left with his team. They disappeared in the city.

“Stop looking, how is Li Qiang’s situation?”

Da Ming stood beside his friend and slapped his shoulder.

“He wanted to leave with Brother Ye but he was rejected. Brother Ye told him to run this base well with us.”

“Brother Ye is afraid that we are too weak. Boss Li has good gun skills and will be of great help to us. After all, we have to start thinking about how to solve the food problem.”

“But I don’t understand why Brother Ye wants to leave. With them here, we would have thousands or even tens of thousands of evolved. When the time comes, this region or even this city would be ours.”

Da Ming shook his head, “Don’t think too much, maybe we might meet him in the future.”

The two of them stood on the walls. Below them were many who were strengthening the wall that was just fixed. Jia Ming retracted his gaze and held the note that Ye Zhongming had handed to him.

…………………………………………

The noise from the vehicle attracted the attention of the zombies on the sides of the road. They reached out their dry hands and wanted to obtain that bit of flesh but the iron monster was obviously not something they could block. These zombies were smashed into pieces and their life’s journey had come to an end.

“Boss, this fellow takes up too much oil!” Little Tiger cried. Based on the current rate, in just a few hours this car would end up as a piece of scrap metal.

Ye Zhongming rested on another car and said, “No petrol then just toss it, this thing is not useful.”

The others felt that this was quite safe, just that it was just a little uncomfortable.

“Boss, you can tell us where we are going now right?”

Ye Zhongming didn’t reveal where the final goal was. They didn’t ask when they were in the base as there were too many others there. Now that they were the only ones in the vehicle, Little Tiger didn’t have to worry about anything.

“Ying City, Cloud Peak Villa.”

“Big City, but we have to get out of the province.”

Everyone didn’t expect the target to be the next province. Moreover, they were a thousand kilometers away from Ying City.

“Why there?” Liang Chuyin’s body was recovering. She was next to Ye Zhongming so when the car shook, she would touch his body. She dared to say anything during normal days but at this moment she was embarrassed such that her face turned red.

“That is because we can develop peacefully for at least two years there.”

After these few days of fighting, the trust between them strengthened which was why Ye Zhongming started to reveal some things to them.

“But we don’t seem to be going in the right direction.”

Xia Lei held the map and asked.

“En.”

Ye Zhongming nodded, “We are heading here first.”

“Wulan County?”

“En, replace someone.” Ye Zhongming paused and looked at everyone, “Do you have people you want to replace? Tell me and if it is convenient we can go replace them too.”

Mo Ye shook her head. She didn’t know where her parents were. She had few relatives that weren’t even in the country. This was similar to Park Xiuying. Her parents were professors too and were teaching at other universities overseas. Le Dayuan didn’t have any relatives and the loved ones of his helpers were either dead or mutated if not they wouldn’t follow Le Dayuan so easily. Xia Lei had a similar situation and had nothing tying her down too.

Only Little Tiger and Liang Chuyin had loved ones but their homes were really far away and it was impossible to head back.

“You don’t have to worry about my parents, they are so amazing. Let’s go back if we have a chance, they are definitely living well.”

Liang Chuyin sighed, “My parents aren’t very healthy.”

She paused and then said, “So they basically won’t survive the mutation wave, the chances of them being alive isn’t high.”

Everyone knew that although she said that but in her heart she did want to head back. But her homeland was opposite from their destination. She would have to cross half the country so that was not very feasible.

Mo Ye held her hand and hoped that it would make her feel better.

The infantry vehicle used up the petrol at night. They wanted to replace a petrol station to add some petrol but those they drove past were either blown up or were sucked dry.

They could only give up on the fellow that brought them 400 kilometers closer in a day and turned to walk instead.

The team arrived in Wulan County at night.

This was a county that wasn’t too big. Standing on the hill outside, one could see the entire county. It looked like there had been a fire recently that burnt half the streets. One could see many specks of flames around.

“This is a base.”

Little Tiger exclaimed when he used the binoculars and saw the county.

“Such orderly walls? Sentry? There are many people inside.”

To run such a base well in just 20 days was indeed really shocking.

“Human adaptation skills to the apocalypse is far better than we think.”

“But they definitely aren’t as good as you.”

Teacher Park added on the side which made Ye Zhongming annoyed.

“Zhongming, who are you here to replace?”

“An old friend.” Ye Zhongming smiled, “Today we will spend the night here.”

“We aren’t entering?” Little Tiger pointed at the county and asked. If they entered it now, they didn’t have to sleep exposed.

Ye Zhongming turned around to make arrangements and ignored Little Tiger.

Ye Zhongming was really here to replace someone.

To replace the guy who was on the same team as him. That guy who had saved his life many times. Wulan County was his home.

In his last life, Ye Zhongming was a marksman and he was the ranged damage in his team. This big fellow from Wulan County was a really courageous warrior, a heavy shielder. This was his job. He was a defense type warrior that dared to block all damage. With him in front of Ye Zhongming, gave him the confidence to fire.

The two of them did missions together for five years. This fellow helped Ye Zhongming to block many fatal attacks. In his memory, the big fellow suffered three near-lethal attacks because of him. Fortunately, he had a good body and managed to survive.

But, two months before he revived, the big fellow sacrificed during a mission. Ye Zhongming lost his best barrier and that resulted in him being sneak attacked and dying. After reviving, Ye Zhongming thought multiple times that if the big fellow was around, he would still be alive.

At this time, he should have obtained the job. If the experience and timing he was told was right, this fellow would be locked in jail. If he didn’t come and everything proceeded like the last life, he would spend months in jail and get tortured every day until that mysterious trading team appeared here and used a few crystals to buy his life. After a few simple heals, they sold him to the newly formed team as a slave and then he met Ye Zhongming.

Thinking about how he was about to meet his old ally, Ye Zhongming was really excited and he found it hard to sleep. He opened his eyes until the sky lit up.

………………………………

Wulan County was an old county and this place kept a portion of the old walls. In the past, this was the reason why this place became a famous tourist trap.

Because of that, after the apocalypse started, the people here could set up defenses using the old wall. After strengthening and adding to it, the zombie’s sharp claws couldn’t take it down.

When Ye Zhongming and Xia Lei walked to the gate, there were many here who wanted to enter.

“Oi.” Xia Lei stood in front of Ye Zhongming. She tilted her body and her face really close to him and said towards him, “Look there!”

Ye Zhongming felt a little uncomfortable from that. The special aura that girls had made him feel weird and he tilted his head back slightly.

“Do you hate me that much?!” Xia Lei rolled his eyes at Ye Zhongming and was really unhappy.

The people around them all turned over and they were attracted by her looks.

“I sacrificed so much this time so what benefits will I get?” Xia Lei saw that there were many people before them so she turned around and faced Ye Zhongming, “I am your team member and can fight for you, I can even die for you, but… That doesn’t include sacrificing looks!”

Ye Zhongming rolled his eyes, “I just want you to be a bait and draw the target out. I won’t ask you to do anything. It is just to save time on those annoying things. What sacrifice looks?”

“That is exactly sacrificing looks!” Xia Lei was a little playful, “Are you going to give benefits?”

Ye Zhongmng wanted to turn and leave but she pulled him back.

“Look at you, you are a guy, you don’t know about girls at all.”

“In the apocalypse, woman are scarier than guys.” Ye Zhongming didn’t fall for that and that disappointed Xia Lei.

“Tsk!” She scoffed, “My demands aren’t high. I know that I can’t compare to the influencer that is like your little servant. I can’t compare to Le Dayuan who you protect like a baby. But apart from them, I want to become the third person to get the two star potion!”

“If I don’t agree?”

“Then I will tell everyone that you brought me out here alone to take advantage of me.”

“... Your sister.”
