Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1349: No money

Looking at how Yindi hesitated and how the others wanted to say something, Ye Zhongming knew that his request put them in a spot.

“Do you have some difficulties?”

Yindi was the leader of the remaining six people. He was an explorer from one of the few cities in Limitless Wilderness- Yiliu City. The people beside him were his good friends, and they were all explorers. They formed a fixed exploration squad.

Like any place with lifeforms, Yiliu City was a place with levels and classes.

There was a city committee, a strong explorer alliance, and powerful nobles and craftsmen.

People like Yindi weren’t the lowest class in Yiliu City, but they weren’t even average. They were slightly better than beggars and coolies.

This time, they came here to get the Red Scarf Fruit. These fruits were very useful. After using them, they could help youngsters turn into explorers and were similar to a one-star potion. If explorers used them, they could strengthen their abilities—the older the fruit, the better the effect.

But these older fruits were at the center of the Red Scarf Tree’s crown, where its highest point was. Ordinary adventures had no way of getting them.

Yindi and his exploration squad did not gain anything and even lost a member.

“Yi, the border you want to go to is very far away. You can’t get there by walking. Any other way there needs a lot of money, but we…”
Yindi was embarrassed, which shocked Ye Zhongming.

This… Didn’t have much to do with him? Why would he feel sad because of how poor he was? Did he want to pay for Ye Zhongming?

“I think you misunderstood; I will settle the money.” Ye Zhongming explained. He felt better about these few people. At the same time, he was impressed. Although it wasn’t the apocalypse here, these people treated someone that they met a short while ago as a friend, which made it hard for them to have a competitive advantage.

“Ah?” Yindi was stunned. He coughed, “Actually, we can do some missions to earn some money. That would be enough.”

He was afraid Ye Zhongming would disagree and said hurriedly, “You don’t need to do much. Just do what our dead ally did. Work together, and we will definitely earn money.”

Ye Zhongming blinked and suddenly felt he was too innocent.

……………………………………………………

Ye Zhongming liked Heima Valleyʼs environment. There were various beautifully shaped wrongs here. Half was water, and the other half was a salt lake. There were big plants, many bushes, and also the tall Red Scarf Trees.

Red Scarf Trees weren’t rare here, but most were connected. After falling to the ground, their leaves and fruits decomposed, turning into unique decomposing soil.

Heima loved this environment. Those Bug Turrets formed after the bugs attached to the fallen leaves.

One could say that the Heima gathered near the trees. Anyone who entered would be attacked.

Now, Yindi was rumbling on. He didn’t expect Ye Zhongming to want to get the fruits.

“Ye, although we found a place with only three trees, they are mature, and their crowns are huge. There are many Heima. The few of us failed once, and it won’t be any different even if we go again. I know you lack money and need to head to the border, but if you lose your life, everything will be gone.”

Ye Zhongming smiled, “Why did you select the Red Scarf fruits?”

“They are valuable.”

“What Yaqin said might not be right, but with our ability, the most valuable thing we can get are these fruits. The rare materials or stones and even the famous Heima Emperor are not things we can touch.”

The two female members were usually in charge of buying and selling intel, so they were knowledgeable about this. The second female was called Lanjin and was the second strongest behind Yindi.

“Since it is the most valuable, of course, we want to get them.”

Ye Zhongming shrugged confidently.

“But we need a lot of preparation, like the carpet to hide our aura. LIke the bug removal liquid. We have nothing, and it is impossible to get the fruits.”

A male member didn’t have Yindi’s good temper. He didn’t understand why the captain would care about this person whose background was unknown. Was it just because he looked good? Moreover, this person was not from their race.

He also didn’t understand why the captain wanted to follow this guy when he wanted to get the fruits. It was better to let him die on his own.

Ye Zhongming ignored that person. This was normal. Yindi’s reaction was not.

He stared at his member. Yindi wanted to continue, but he noticed that this person had sped up. The others looked at each other, and when they stopped, Ye Zhongming was far away. They still decided to keep up and take a look.

The group wasn’t too far away, and quickly returned to where they met. The three trees were nearby.

“They will notice you when you get into range of their crown. The bug turrets will appear, and it is impossible to get in.” Yindi tried to stop Ye Zhongming, “Haiz, we noticed that the first time we explored this area and thought it would be easier with only three trees; who knew… Seemed like we overestimated ourselves.”

“Ye.” Yindi said and looked at Ye Zhongming, “We have said so much so that you don’t lose your life for nothing.”

Yindi’s voice got softer and softer and those last few words couldn’t be heard.

He saw two giant white lifeforms appear above Ye Zhongming’s head!
