Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 267: Another level four

There was the ear-piercing sound of metal rubbing. Xia Lei, Mo Ye, and Liang Chuyin disappeared, and things returned to normal.

The third Flaming Blade killed all the Deep Abyss Ghost Nests on this floor. The Blood Swallows, whose strongest was level two, were dead and didn’t threaten Ye Zhongming.

.

Only the giant mother body was alive. Its sac was sliced, and green liquid flowed out from inside. In the liquid was an unborn Blood Swallow that struggled to get up. But its immature body caused its hard work to go to waste.

There was also a green crystal on the thick stem sliced open.

Everything that happened previously had an explanation.

This mother body evolved after eating Brother Bao’s three-star evolved son and became four-star. Its abilities improved. Those illusions could affect humans through their skin even without them breathing. Ye Zhongming couldn’t defend against that and was affected.

Fortunately, he came to his senses.

The reason was that this nest was too eager to kill Ye Zhongming. When it controlled his mind and used his memories to create the illusion, he wanted to create all the women in his life. Xia Lei and Liang Chuyin would do things like that but not Mo Ye. Ye Zhongming picked out this flaw and woke up from the illusion.

Although he took only half a minute to kill the nests, and the illusion only lasted a few seconds, he was still terrified.

He was unafraid to fight head-on against strong enemies like the Throat Locker. At least now that he was a three-star evolved, he was confident that he could battle a four-star evolved. He was more afraid of these weird skills that caught him off guard. If not for him coming back to his senses quickly, he would fall deeper into the illusion and get ripped into pieces by those Blood Swallows that were close.

But his gains were good too.

Ye Zhongming knew that the Mother Body summoned those Blood Swallows out hunting, so he quickly kept all the crystals here. He dug the level four crystal and a white piece of matter in the center of its roots. That was its essence, and there was a special use for it.

Some Blood Swallows were already flying back, and seeing the trees that gave birth to them die, they charged furiously at him. They used their soundwaves at him.

Ye Zhongming was prepared and used Blood Stepping Boot’s Quickness skill to charge to the staircase. Although he was affected by the soundwave, he managed to get out unscathed.

These Blood Swallows wouldn’t let the enemy go and continued to charge. But what they faced was the shots from the Explosive Mechanic.

In a narrow staircase, such an attack was destructive.

Brother Bao was terrified downstairs as those flying monsters were too scary. There was a considerable number of them, and they were quick as lightning. Their flying speed was so fast that a two-star evolved like him couldn’t react. Ten of them died in just a short while, two of which were evolved.

For so many to die in just two minutes, he wanted to flee.

But these monsters flew away and became hot-tempered.

Young Master Yun rushed over and saw the anxious Brother Bao. Coincidentally, Ye Zhongming sent a signal too. After the group entered the building, Brother Bao was shocked by what he saw. The weird plants that were his nightmare were all killed. The flying beasts that had caused them a huge problem now covered the entire floor.

Young Master Yun was not shocked at all. His boss could kill a four-star zombie when he was two-star evolved. Now that he was three-star, what was surprising that he could kill this same-level tree monster?

Brother Bao was emotional and ran to the dead mother tree. He raised his axe and hacked at it. His son died here, so he was naturally furious about it.

He told Young Master Yun to collect the crystals, and once Brother Bao vented all his anger, he handed the middle-aged man a can of coffee.

He wiped his tears and drank it all.

“Boss, 330 level one crystal, 18 level two.”

Young Master Yun passed them to Ye Zhongming.

“Give the level-one crystals to Brother Bao.”

Brother Bao was stunned when he heard that. Honestly, he was happy that he could take revenge for his son even though they lost a few men. When they hunted level-three monsters, they suffered even more deaths. Poisoning people who were alive so that zombies could eat them. Use lives as bait for level-three monsters to enter an ambush. Burn entire buildings or force one star evolved to hug level-three lifeforms to jump into acid.

Brother Bao had done all of that before. No conscience? That might be true. But other factions did that, too; if not, how could they kill a level-three lifeform?

Ye Zhongming forced him here, and he didn’t consider getting any reward. He was even prepared for Ye Zhongming to abandon him and for him to have to flee with his son.

He saw the demon crystals that Young Master Yun passed him and was stunned. He was considering whether or not the young guy would kill him if he took it.

“Jill Warrior Squad took your invitation card, but are you interested in making a trip there with me?”

He took out his card and waved it at Brother Bao, who was at a loss for words.

Trade Walking Street was one of the most prosperous regions in Ying City. During peacetime, there would be people here, even late at night.

But such a place would be a death zone during the apocalypse. The number of zombies wiped out all hope of life.

Even now, two months after the start, there were still dense zombie hordes here that were moving about slowly, like how the prosperous crowds moved around here during peacetime.

This was the place that Renxing Battle Squad had set; it was the roof of a building here.

Without some strength, you couldn’t even get close to this place.

At that moment, all the leaders of the strong factions in Ying City moved towards the location.
