Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 77: Chapter 75: Entering the Weird Invasion 2.0 Update (Part 2)

”The boss is already dead, and Bai Ling’Er also told us to leave. You’re stubbornly clinging here; I don’t want to wait here to die.”

”No!”

”The boss isn’t dead; alive we should see him, dead we should see the corpse.”

”Until I see the boss’s body, I won’t believe he’s dead.”

”The boss is a good person; he definitely won’t die!” Zhang Zhen also shouted in argument, his youthful face flushed with rage.

”You son of a bitch, you see everyone as a good person!”

”In your eyes, is there no bad person?” Geng Youcai was speechless.

”No...”

”You’re the bad person, Geng Youcai, you traitor.”

”If you try to run away, I guarantee I’ll kill you!” Zhang Zhen gritted his teeth and said.

However, Geng Youcai was betting today, betting that Zhang Zhen wouldn’t dare to kill.

If facing Lin Yuan, Geng Youcai wouldn’t dare to bet. Lin Yuan was filled with killing intent, indifferent towards life.

Geng Youcai believed Lin Yuan certainly dared to kill him.

But Zhang Zhen was a young man with little social experience, not to mention killing; he probably hadn’t killed even chickens, ducks, cows, or sheep.

Though Zhang Zhen killed quite a few Evil Spirits, killing humans and killing Evil Spirits were completely different concepts.

”Zhang Zhen, get out of my way!” Geng Youcai tried to push Zhang Zhen away who blocked his path.

However, at this moment, Zhang Zhen’s eyes widened as he pointed behind Geng Youcai and shouted, ”Boss, you’re back!”

At that moment, behind Geng Youcai, Lin Yuan, Bai Ling’Er, and Wen Yingying appeared out of nowhere.

Under their feet was a narrow bluestone path about two meters wide.

”Zhang Zhen, don’t try this trick on me.”

”I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice; you want to fool me.” Geng Youcai didn’t believe and stepped forward.

Just then, a familiar voice faintly rang out.

”Eating so much salt, don’t you feel it’s choking?”

Upon hearing this voice, Geng Youcai shivered, his body stiffened and stood there.

He slowly turned his head, cautiously looking back, behind him was none other than Lin Yuan.

”Bo....”

”Boss, you... you’re back!”

Lin Yuan looked at the beaten and bruised Geng Youcai, only wanting to say two words: ”Serves you right.”

”Geng Youcai, I heard you were spreading rumors that I died?” Lin Yuan asked calmly.

The calmer Lin Yuan’s tone, the more anxious Geng Youcai felt!

Geng Youcai thought, the boss wouldn’t kill me, right!

I was foolish!

Never expected to be bet on by that kid Zhang Zhen!

”Boss, Geng Youcai this bastard is a turncoat slave, there’s a treacherous spot on the back of his head!”

”If I hadn’t caught him back, this kid would have already run!” Zhang Zhen started exposing Geng Youcai’s wrongdoings.

”No!”

”Boss, I didn’t!”

”Don’t listen to Zhang Zhen’s nonsense, I wasn’t trying to run; I was just going out for a stroll, to stretch my muscles.” Geng Youcai made up lies, striving to defend himself.

He was afraid of angering Lin Yuan, who might take his life.

Actually, Geng Youcai considering running was within Lin Yuan’s expectations.

Geng Youcai initially aimed to seek refuge at the official shelter; he was forcibly recruited by Lin Yuan.

Alive, fearing Lin Yuan, he naturally wouldn’t dare to run.

But with Lin Yuan vanishing, and Bai Ling’Er allowing them to leave, Geng Youcai surely aimed to seek the official refuge.

Zhang Zhen, on the other hand, unexpectedly showed loyalty beyond Lin Yuan’s expectations.

Young, loyal, obedient.

It seems from now on, Zhang Zhen should be focused on development.

Lin Yuan couldn’t bother with Geng Youcai, there’s no purpose in that.

Saved his life once, he helps build the shelter, it counts as an equivalent exchange.

Once the shelter is successfully constructed, there will be no more debts between them.

If, by then, Geng Youcai wants to leave, Lin Yuan won’t forcefully retain him either.

”The shelter is being built quickly!”

”I was away for only seven days, and the perimeter walls are already complete!” Saying that, Lin Yuan shifted his tone to Geng Youcai, ”After building the shelter according to the design, should you still wish to seek the official shelter.”

”By that time, you can certainly leave.”

Geng Youcai wasn’t sure if Lin Yuan’s words were tests or true, fearing it was probing.

”I wouldn’t dare!”

”Boss, now that you’ve returned, I, Geng Youcai, definitely won’t leave!”

”I’m merely a brick in your hand, wherever needed you’ll move me there.” Geng Youcai pleaded with a strong survival desire.

Then, Geng Youcai seemed to recall something, he said to Lin Yuan, ”Boss, although our shelter’s construction isn’t slow.”

”The speed of official shelter construction is what really fast. I heard, Five Dragon Mountain Shelter is nearly finished.”

”Now, the officials have started selecting people to reside in the shelter.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan understood that during his seven days disappearance, they entered the Deceitful Invasion 2.0 version.

”Are stronger Evil Spirits appearing more frequently?” Lin Yuan asked them.

These few days, Bai Ling’Er and Wen Yingying waited at Peace Bridge for Lin Yuan.

Zhang Zhen and Geng Youcai kept an eye on official reports.

Zhang Zhen nodded and said, ”Tier Eight, Tier Nine Evil Spirits now are just minions; Tier Seven Evil Spirits are merely part of the Evil Spirit’s backbone.”

”Within mere days, three powerful Tier Six Evil Spirits appeared near our Peng City.”

”Han City had a Tier Six Evil Spirit, the Golden Armor Zombie; Feng City, Tier Six Evil Spirit, Mother-Child Deceitful King; Shantong City, Tier Six Evil Spirit Mr. Yimu Wu.”

”Now, these three cities below Peng City have lost contact with Peng City, whether the survivors inside are alive or dead, still unknown.”

Tier Six Evil Spirits were considered mid-level during the Deceitful Invasion era.

Above Tier Six Evil Spirits, were Tier Five Evil Spirits with deceitful demons.

Seven days ago, Tier Seven Evil Spirits were rare in Peng City.

Seven days later, Tier Six Evil Spirits emerged like bamboo shoots after rain.

A new version arrived!

Entered the Deceitful Invasion 2.0 version.

Each generation’s version births a new god.

Even under version change, Lin Yuan still aims to become the god of Deceitful Invasion 2.0 version.

....

....

Five Dragon Mountain.

Official Shelter.

At the heart of the shelter, in a dim, damp underground bunker.

Yang Dingguo sat at his desk, furrowing his brows, showing his age.

Now, displaying such a worried expression, made him appear even older.

Yang Dingguo was troubled; after Lü Dong’s death, the officials couldn’t produce a Life Pattern Master to uphold authority.

Recently, numerous Tier Six Evil Spirits emerged like mushrooms after rain.

Even if they now exhaust efforts to cultivate strong Life Pattern Masters, it’s already too late in terms of time.

Yang Dingguo was greatly troubled; if things proceed this way, how could humans withstand these Evil Spirits?

As the top official figure since the Deceitful Invasion commenced, Yang Dingguo lived inside the underground bunker.

Beside him, always guarded by an eighteen-member Life Pattern Master team, day in and day out.

As Peng City’s sole authoritative figure capable of maintaining the current situation, if he met any mishap.

Peng City would be completely doomed.

”Elder Yang, here’s the first roster of personnel to enter the shelter.” An official from Peng City handed a file to Yang Dingguo.

Yang Dingguo accepted the file bag, and before he could glance.

A Life Pattern Master hurriedly rushed to him.

”Elder Yang, alive....”

”Alive, alive!” The Life Pattern Master stumbled, supporting with both hands on the desk, gasping as he spoke to Yang Dingguo.

Upon hearing this message, Yang Dingguo seemed to understand something, standing up abruptly from his chair.

Speaking in an exceptionally severe tone, he asked, ”Who?”

”Do you mean, that kid who slew the Headless General didn’t die.”

”Yes!”

”Elder Yang, he didn’t die!”

”Now he’s returned to their own shelter!” The Life Pattern Master reported truthfully.
