Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1943: Quiet Resistance

Wu Qian had to shout; he felt that if he didnʼt shout, his life had reached its end.

Alright, although it might also be coming to an end now.

Wherever his eyes fell, it was a mess.

The food and such were okay; they were just rummaged through. But everything else—weapons, equipment, tools, traps, repair materials, etc.—was all in complete disarray.

Many were damaged, and quite a few had become bizarrely deformed. Wu Qian even saw a huge lump of... scrap metal ball.

That was formed by who knows how many broken pieces of equipment melted together.

He didnʼt have time to calculate the exact loss, but being extremely familiar with the warehouse, he just scanned around and knew that at least forty percent of the material equipment was damaged.

This was the Bronze Campʼs reserve for over one entire cosmic year in the future!

The food and supplies were manageable; a batch would be allocated every few dozen days, and the amount wasted wasnʼt excessive. But these weapons and equipment... how were they going to get through this cosmic year?

Ye Zhongming paid no attention to Wu Qianʼs tragic shout. He was a bit tired, but in good condition.
After a whole night of research, Ye Zhongming had a clearer understanding of the weapon and equipment system of the cosmic races.

The reason he chose the Bronze Campʼs warehouse was that the weapons and equipment here were all relatively low-level, allowing Ye Zhongming to learn and study from the basic models. Afterwards, he could disassemble those he purchased with points without wasting them.

As for the equipment he damaged in the Bronze Camp, he didnʼt take it seriously; he had many ways to compensate.

……………………

A written complaint accused Ye Zhongming to the two Clan Leaders of the Star-Eye Clan.

Wu Qian truly dared not conceal it.

Although the clan currently adjusted various supplies frequently, items like equipment and repair materials needed to be stocked, and the consumption was high. After all, during training, they couldnʼt be naked; that would get people killed. Now, suddenly losing so much and creating such a huge gap, if Wu Qian hadnʼt reported it, he would have been held responsible.

Even if it meant offending Ye Zhongming, there was no other way; he truly couldnʼt bear the responsibility.

The timing Wu Qian chose to inform the clanʼs upper echelons was very coincidental. The two Clan Leaders and several other high-ranking members were discussing matters.

The Eye Lord smiled and sent the video complaint from his terminal to the others. Most of them, upon seeing it, did not feel anger but instead showed smiles.

”This guy really knows how to stir things up.”

As the absolute confidant of the two Clan Leaders, Cheng Liujin was naturally present. Seeing Wu Qianʼs report of the entire incident, he sighed with a smile.

”Killing upon arrival, then creating an Assault Camp, and now messing up the team warehouse—it really fits his persona.”

Jikesu was the one who understood best why Ye Zhongming did this. This guy was impatient waiting for him to organize the knowledge and wanted to take the first step himself. Practice yields true knowledge; he was trying it out.

”Should we give him a warning? Make him behave a bit more?”

The speaker was the training chief officer, Ba Shilu, who was as robust as a mountain and had a circle of bone around his neck. Among the clanʼs upper echelons, he was the only one who had not had contact with Ye Zhongming.

The Star Lord shook her head. ”Donʼt restrict him; that would tie his hands. The Bronze Order Leader is doing this to research equipment. Donʼt worry; he will give us a surprise.”

After saying this, the Star Lord looked at Cheng Liujin.

“This kid will have quite a few actions recently. You keep an eye on him, but give the green light to all his behaviors.”

”All?”

Cheng Liujin asked.

”All.” The Star Lordʼs reply was firm. ”Even if he declares war on Reina Star or Huoʼer Star, let him.”

”As long as he doesnʼt betray the clan.”

………………………………

Ye Zhongming naturally did not betray the clan, but what he did seemed no different from betrayal in the eyes of the many warriors of the Bronze Camp.

He had rummaged through the military supply warehouse!

This time, he had truly poked the beehive.

Previously, the entire Bronze Camp had shown a state of acceptance towards Ye Zhongming, but that was because of the ʼthose who block me shall dieʼ aura he displayed upon his arrival.

They felt that since someone needed to sit in the Bronze Order Leader position anyway, having the Novice number one sit there seemed pretty good.

In their view, Ye Zhongming might bring benefits to the Bronze Camp.

However, this person had now affected the interests of the Bronze Camp, harming the interests of all warriors, and they could no longer tolerate it.

With the clan not doing anything, and with some of Ka Lan Ka and Leng Jiaoʼs people stirring some chaos, the entire Bronze Camp quickly exploded.

These warriors directly came to the building where Ye Zhongmingʼs room was located and stood there silently, expressing their dissatisfaction.

The Thousand-Person Commanders, Hundred-Person Commanders, and other mid-level officers actually saw the issue more long-term than these warriors. They naturally detected the anomaly in the clanʼs upper echelons and knew things werenʼt as simple as they appeared on the surface. So they didnʼt act. However, regarding these warriorsʼ spontaneous actions, after being rebuked a few times, they simply stood silently at the back.

They actually also hoped Ye Zhongming would give a clear answer.

Having worked busily in the warehouse all night last night and trained the Assault Camp during the day, Ye Zhongming had originally already gone to sleep.

But how could the sudden commotion in the training ground escape him? Jie Kui had also secretly notified him. He got up to look and saw a full-body protest in the training ground.

Ye Zhongming smiled, called someone over, whispered a few sentences, and then went out.

The appearance of the Bronze Order Leader caused a slight ripple in the entire team. There was no other way; the psychological pressure brought by that unchanging mask over thousands of years was immense. Seeing the Order Leader mask, the Star-Eye Clan warriorsʼ instinct was to lower their heads and comply, not to resist.

”Order Leader, we...”

A warrior standing in the front row came out, gritting his teeth, wanting to tell Ye Zhongming the reason and also ask why the Order Leader had treated the items in the military supply warehouse that way, but Ye Zhongming waved his hand to interrupt him.

”Since everyone is here, letʼs take this opportunity to conduct the ten-day short-term assessment.” Ye Zhongmingʼs voice carried far, and all the Bronze Mask Warriors could hear it.

”I know the time hasnʼt come yet, but Iʼve decided.”

Seeing someone about to rebuke again, Ye Zhongming interrupted him once more.

”Consider it a spot check, or a surprise inspection, whatever. But the short-term assessment is today.” Ye Zhongming suppressed all voices very firmly. ”Let me say this first: I advanced the assessment, so there must be a reason for advancing it. I will explain the reason after the assessment is complete. By the way, I will also give an answer to why you are here. Moreover, those with excellent results in this assessment will even receive rewards.”

”But... if the results donʼt satisfy me, donʼt blame me for flipping the table.”

After speaking, Ye Zhongming clapped his hands and said, ”Next, Iʼll explain the content of the assessment.”
