Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 627.5- Death King Tree and Life Taking Carrot (2)

Yang Yixi and Mao Ying looked at each other before taking the flash. Although they were casual people and friendly, they werent fools. They didnt drink it and asked directly what it was.

After getting the answer, their eyes lit up, and they knew it was something good.

Ye Zhongming smiled and poured the water into the cup on the ground. He didnt care about their expressions. He poured some from the flash and drank it.

Such an action impressed Yang Yixi and Mao Ying. They told him about Linhai City in detail.

After hearing what they said, Ye Zhongming was shocked.

Two months after the apocalypse started, many mysterious plants occupied the city. They absorbed the energy of other lifeforms, turning them into dried corpses and using the energy to evolve.

When they evolved to a certain level, Linhai Citys evolution numbers reduced. They started killing and eating each other until the strongest plant remained.

This strongest mutated plant occupied the entire city. It was extremely strong and controlled everything. Moreover, as its evolution level increased, it obtained a weird and irresistible power.

It could control those dried corpses.

The survivors werent sure what happened to that terrifying mutated plant. Many hadnt even seen what it looked like. But from the parts it had left on the ground, people called it Death King Tree.

Although the dried corpses lost the crystals differentiating their levels, they still have differing strengths; we dont know how to deduce them. But one thing is certain: the number of humans and mutated lifeforms arent strong enough to fight the current Death King Tree.

Yang Yixi drank the energy drink and breathed out in satisfaction. He said seriously, Someone estimated that the Death King Tree controls at least two million corpses. How many survivors are there now?

The long plants locking the area around are just a part of the tree?

Ye Zhongming asked. If those were just a part, then this plant was too terrifying.

No, those are Life-Taking Carrots.

Life Taking Carrot? Another name he hadnt heard of.

En, they came when the Death King Tree attacked one another. When we noticed it, Linhai was a lone city with no way out. The Life-Taking Carrot surrounded the city. Anyone who tried to head out would be swallowed. At that time, the city was covered in despair.

Ye Zhongming nodded. That was understandable. In the city was the Death King Tree that no one could fight against. Around the city was the Life-Taking Carrot. They couldnt beat it and couldnt flee. Of course, they were in despair.

Slowly, people adapted. They learned to survive underground. This is why you see us living here. We are just using the basements and bomb shelters from before.

The Death King Tree cant do anything to people underground?

If one were a plant, normally speaking, its roots would be advanced, which is the most terrifying thing. Facing such a situation, underground might be more challenging to survive than on land.

Yang Yixi shook his head, We avoided where its main body is; the other areas are considered safe.

Ye Zhongming nodded and recalled something, So what do you mean with Feasting Day?

Yang Yixi replied, The city isnt completely closed off. Every period, it would open, and we call it Feasting Day.

Sometimes it might be a month, sometimes two, sometimes twenty days. The Life-Taking Carrot would disappear, and survivors and mutated lifeforms could enter Linhai.

The young man smiled bitterly, The Feasting Day is the Death King Tree and Life-Taking Carrots Feasting Day. It is a tough day for humans.

Ye Zhongming could understand. If the Life-Taking Carrot didnt appear, more people would enter the city, and then the Death King Tree could have a full meal. It was indeed a feast.

The Death King Tree in the city and the Life-Taking Carrot on the outside had clear jobs.

But Ye Zhongming noticed a problem.

Before I came, I couldnt see any survivors, and there werent any zombies. What is the point of the Life-Taking Carrot hiding? No one will come?

There wasnt anyone around, so even if they opened up the city, they couldnt attract anything, right?

Yang Yixi pointed upwards, That is the strength of these two mutated plants.

During the Feasting Day, the Life-Taking Carrot would shake its body to give out a ripping sound. The survivors said it mimicked mutated lifeforms and would spread very far away to attract them. The Death King Tree would create a bright light at night, and survivors who see it might think there is a treasure.

I heard a survivor from the last Feasting Day mention that many people outside knew about the situation here, but they felt like a treasure was inside. Many factions would enter during the feasting day to search for treasures.

Mao Ying didnt know whether to laugh or cry. The greed of humans also caused Ye Zhongming to sigh.

This situation continued to worsen. Linhai City would turn into hell on earth, and people would think it was a treasure trove. Survivors would risk their lives to come here and Die.

Once such a situation happens, people inside might want to go out, and those outside might want to come in.

The three spoke for some time, and Yang Yixi felt it was nearly time. He looked at his girlfriend and was slightly embarrassed, Actually, we need a favor.

Ye Zhongming was stunned, but he understood immediately. No wonder they wanted to save him, brought him to their gap, and told them all this. They even gave their precious water to him. They probably thought that he had a way out of this city.

They wanted to know the location of this path and leave from it!
