Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 672: Trapped

This was an abandoned train tunnel. It was higher and wider than the underground city, but Ye Zhongming and Gaye still frowned when they smelled the fishy stench.

The Death King Trees branches will give off some liquid that has a healing effect on external injuries. But no one knows if this is true. This smell is from that liquid.

Gaye pointed ahead, Walk for 30 minutes, and you will see the Death King Trees roots.

Ye Zhongming looked around. The light from the torch wasnt able to shine too far.

Although I dont know why you are here, you should return after seeing the roots. The further you go, the more dangerous this will be.

His big worry was gone as his son woke up and reached four-star evolved. This was why Gaye agreed to lead the way for Ye Zhongming. But if possible, he would rather accompany his son and see him grow. He wanted to fight alongside his son and try to survive in this world.

It was best if he could get this boss to retreat.

But when Gaye glanced at his expression, he knew that there wasnt much hope for that.

Ten minutes after entering the tunnel, the path started to branch out. There were so many branches that one got lost.

When the Death King Tree ate the other plants, it tried to control Linhai. The process was naturally not so smooth. It fought with some strong mutated ocean snakes, and they started to attack the main body of the Death King Tree. These tunnels were left then.

Gaye sounded terrified. Although Linhai survivors didnt see that battle, it caused a huge commotion, leaving a huge impression on them.

Thinking back, it would have been better if those mutated sea snakes won. At least the humans wont be trapped in this city.

Maybe because this trip was really risky, or he was relaxed because his son had healed, Gaye was more extroverted than a few hours ago. His face had more expressions than before.

This time, Gayes value was on full display. He had come here before and had seen the Death King Trees main body. He was probably one of those who was still alive. He moved through the tunnels and occasionally stopped to confirm the direction.

If Ye Zhongming came himself, even if he found the Death King Trees body in the end, that would be several days later.

Go from this tunnel

Before Gaye finished his sentence, Ye Zhongming dragged him to a side. He waved and extinguished the torch.

The tunnel was pitch black.

Gaye was a four-star evolved, and even if things were sudden, he reacted immediately. He stood quietly beside Ye Zhongming in shock.

His body instinctively reacted, but he noticed he couldnt do anything in front of this guy. This made him judge Ye Zhongmings strength once more. He felt like there might be a chance for them to survive.

Two seconds later, there were some sounds from the tunnel.

It was the dried corpseʼs footsteps!

The two of them stood close to the wall and held their breaths, afraid they would be noticed.

There werent many of them, a few dozen. Not mentioning Ye Zhongming, he could kill all of them if Gaye had time.

But they were within Death King Trees region, and who knows how many there were? If they alerted it and drew a large number of dried corpses over, this operation would be a failure.

After waiting for five minutes, they couldnt hear any more footsteps. They lit the torch again and continued forwards.

After a short while, brown and black branches appeared on the sides and the floor. They were of different shapes and sizes. Ye Zhongming was familiar with them as he had purchased many. But most of those were dried branches while these were filled with nutrients.

Curiosity flashed across his face. Gaye reminded Ye Zhongming not to touch them.

These are the liquids from the branches, but I dont dare touch them. Who knows if they are healing potions or poison?

Some branches were damp; if you looked closely, you would see rain-like liquid. Like Gaye said, Ye ZHongming didnt dare touch them, and he didnt recognize them either.

They moved carefully, and they even stopped speaking and extinguished the torch. They used light sticks instead. After a distance, they would leave one as a mark.

The deeper they went, the fewer signs of humans there were, and the more branches. There were fewer places to step on, which slowed them down.

Two hours later, Gaye stopped.

Why? Ye Zhongming looked around, and there was nothing weird, so he asked softly.

Something isnt right. Gaye frowned and looked around, When I was here last time, there were many dried corpses and even a moving branch, but this time

Gaye took in a deep breath, Everything is too silent.

When Gaye said that, Ye Zhongming knew things werent right, and Moon Edge appeared in his hands.

Why not we retreat?

Gaye also took out two blades and asked the boss beside him.

It is Too late!

The moment he finished, Ye Zhongming dragged Gaye and ran backward. At the same time, a situation occurred.

There was a huge commotion in the tunnel as if a train was passing through. The ground shook. Along with this sound were the footsteps of dried corpses.

Why did we stop? the two of them stopped. Gaye asked Ye Zhongming anxiously. Stopping now was the same as dying.

Ye Zhongming didnt reply and just tossed the light sticks around. Gaye took a look and gave an exasperated expression.

Dried corpses appeared all around. Moreover, they werent like those on the surface. These were giant sea snake dried corpses!

The failures of the battle for Linhai had become its subordinates, surrounding the two of them in the middle.

The Death King Tree had noticed them a long while ago!
