Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 609: Stop lying to me

Whenever many people think back to the final reward, they would regret how slow their minds work. Many people fully analyzed the matter after returning to their regions.

Especially those regions that were ranked in the top five. While waiting for the rewards, they realized they would be sent to the battlefield to face opponents who chose the same path. Or they would return to where they came from, and there were still ocean beasts around them.

They could only sigh when they thought about all that, apart from being stunned.

China was ranked first, so it didnt matter what ranks the others were.

After they reacted, they knew that if China hit the reward, they would leave with it.

After this, a rumor spread in many parts of Asia.

China obtained a huge treasure. This news even spread to West Asia and into Europe.

The people who returned to the center city did get a treasure. As they participated, they witnessed the entire treasure drawing process. The ocean king crown that played with six figures worth of humans and ocean beasts appeared before everyone. It wasnt shining like before; instead, it gave off a gentle golden glow.

One could even see a seven-colored light on the crown.

This group of people who returned to the center city were all wary of each other. They split into three groups. Cloud Peak, Sky Elephant Division, and the others.

This was the Ocean King Crown!

Although they didnt know its use, it was obvious that everything that occurred for the last few days was because of it. Even if it was given to the humans as a reward, even if it didnt have that overpowered ability, it was a piece of equipment that was at least purple grade.

Who wouldnt be tempted by that?

But Cloud Peaks strength was on full display during the challenges. Even if one looked at the Ocean King Wheel, no one dared to take it.

Apart from Ye Zhongming.

Have you thought about it?

The moment he touched the Ocean King Wheel, Guang Yao, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth.

There is nothing to think. Your two sides have over ten people who used various methods to spread the news, and I cant stop you. Do you think I would still be talking to you if not for us just escaping?

Ye Zhongming retracted his hand. He didnt rush to grab him. He wasnt afraid that others would snatch it. He sensed some invisible obstruction. Although this thing didnt have attack strength, no more than five people could break this barrier.

The hearts of many people sank. Although Ye Zhongming was calm, everyone knew he meant what he said.

The Ocean King Crown was a treasure. If Ye Zhongming and Cloud Peak got it, there would be many problems that would look for them. Ye Zhongming probably wanted to kill all of them to silence them.

No one would feel comfortable hearing such calmness in front of death, but one had to admit that Ye Zhongming and Cloud Peak had the right to say such things.

Guang Yao was the strongest person out of the rest. But in Cloud Peak, there were two that would defeat him and around 3-5 who stood a chance against him. This did not include the situation where Cloud Peak shared its equipment. If one person used the equipment of everyone else, there might be 5-6 people who could kill him.

Ye Zhongming had already used good equipment to wipe out the evolution gap.

The alliance collapsed immediately. The act of spreading news meant that this matter couldnt be kept a secret. This was why Ye Zhongming and Cloud Peak didnt attack them, as there was no point. Even if he killed all of them, apart from increasing their casualties, they couldnt stop the news from spreading.

Since that was the case, Ye Zhongming planned to leave with the equipment. But Guang Yao spoke up, so he didnt mind speaking a little. He cared about the resistance zones. At least in his last life, his identity was not good enough to reach that level.

I cant fight you for this now, but in the future, people who think they are strong enough will go and look for you. Your Cloud Peak and you will face endless attacks. Did you think about that?

Guang Yao took in a deep breath and walked near the crown. He looked at the exquisite equipment and gave out a look of yearning. Getting it was his mission.

Continue speaking. Ye Zhongming looked at him with some interest.

In the wheel space, I learned about Cloud Peak and you from others. Allow me to be direct: your foundations are shallow. I dont deny that you are strong. But sometime in the future, you might just be blown over.

But.

Guang Yao didnt give him a chance to interrupt and said his real intention.

But we are different. We are the t1 resistance zone. There are many divisions like us, and they are even stronger than we are. Our system is perfect, our warriors are well-trained, and our logistics are well-provided. We have a strong crafting system and best maintained the human structure during peacetime.

We have unlimited potential. If anyone could get stronger, adapt to the apocalypse, and even lead humans to stand back on the peak, we are the ones!

He was emotional, and his face was filled with pride.

Ye Zhongming recognized that state; it was his belief.

If we work together, even Guang Yao hesitated but still bit his teeth, If you can join us, we will get stronger. You will get unimaginable benefits. Although the resistance zone has never accepted an outsider, I think it will be possible if it is you.

The condition is if we give you the crown? Ye Zhongming smiled and said directly.

We share it!

Guang Yao corrected his words. He pointed at the crown, This isnt an ordinary item, and in the process of getting it, Cloud Peak and you did the most work. We dont want to occupy it; we just hope to be able to study it and own it together. We can slowly cooperate in other areas until we finally become one!

I think, at that time, we would become the strongest faction. We will lead our warriors that have become stronger to rid the world of the darkness!

Ye Zhongming looked at him. He had to admit that this person knew how to talk. Especially for Chinese people with firm patriotism beliefs, it was easy for one to lose themselves in concern of the big picture.

In the apocalypse, when there was no sense of safety, if one was covered by a system that you were used to, that was something that many people were happy to see. They would even be willing to pay a huge price for that.

People in the apocalypse were worse off than dogs in peacetime. People nowadays understand what those words mean. Becoming a dog in peacetime was something that many people wished for.

Someone else may have chosen to work together to look at the place Guang Yao mentioned. Guang Yao might have accomplished things.

Unfortunately, he met Ye Zhongming. Someone who had lived for ten years in the apocalypse. His firm beliefs of only trusting and relying on himself were etched deep in his bones.

His words couldnt sway him at all.

Ye Zhongming broke the crowns protection and grabbed it.

He then looked at the stunned Guang Yao and those around him. He said slowly, I dont know about the Resistance Zone; I dont want to join this organization I dont know anything about. I will lead my brothers and sisters to a better life.

I was a normal person during peacetime. In the apocalypse, I am a normal survivor. I have firm principles.

I only believe in the power that I create. I wont hand my lives and those behind me to anyone or any faction.

We will take control of our destiny.

What you have said is just to cover that you are not strong enough. You want to use this method to get things that you want. But what if you were strong enough? Or if we were in each others shoes. Would you do the same? Will you give up something that was in your hands? You might be even more vicious than me then.

Ye Zhongming waved and told his men to clear up the center city battlefield. He looked at Guang Yao, Go tell your resistance zone leader. Also, the rest of you, tell those who will trouble me in the future.

I have the item and wont give it to anyone. If you want it, then come and fight for it. I will slice your hand off. If you use your legs to snatch it, I will slice your leg!

He looked at the defeated Guang Yao and the others. He smiled, Dont think too highly about yourselves. The truth will prove that you might not be the hope of mankind.

I might be that hope.

He paused and allowed the others to digest. He then said the final words of the day.

The Ying City Alliance has taken over this place; the rest of you can scram.
