Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 49: Armor piercing bullet

The blade was pulled out from the head of a zombie and Ye Zhongming also easily dodged the blood that spurted out.

In just a day, the liquid in their bodies had changed. They slowly turned into a different color from when they were alive.

To kill the Ape Turtle, Ye Zhongming spent two hours here.

He killed the zombies a hundred meters around that spot to clear out a region.

In normal situations, a level one evolved didn’t have much chance of winning against a two time evolved monster. If not for Ye Zhongming having two support jobs and also his understanding of its weakness, then he would just be spinning gachapons and using normal methods to get strong.

But this was just an Ape Turtle. He also had a white weapon which gave Ye Zhongming confidence.

But Ye Zhongming was living for a second time and had hunting experience. He didn’t directly challenge it, he had to increase his advantage.

Apart from that, he had to prevent accidents from happening.

The biggest accident at the start would be for zombie hoards to appear. He had to ensure that none of these would come over and disturb him.

Moreover, he needed some demon crystals to recover mental energy. As for whether or not it was worth it, he couldn’t care about so much.

When he went back to the construction area, he had a hundred more level one crystals. With Yellow Ball’s help, the efficiency was much higher.

He left some as reserves while he used mostly for the active skill of the necklace to obtain over ten points of mental energy. Along with natural recovery, he had recovered up to a hundred points.

He hid in a corner and took out the Blood Tongue Lizard’s claws.

He consumed a lot of mental energy to obtain this thing using the Collection and Refining Technique.

Ye Zhongming placed a claw and the blade together to see if he could enchant it but he got rejected. The blade with toughness stats had reached the limit of its current level.

He placed them on the shield and wanted to enchant this grey equipment. But the notification he got was that it didn’t fit the enchanting requirements. It seemed like the stats that the claw would cause were different from the defensive gear of the shield.

In the end, he took out some bullets.

These were given to him by Mo Ye and were suitable for his new gun.

This new gun was really good but since it was strengthened from two normal guns, it was just grey. Its strength wasn’t far above Earth’s normal weapons. But since he didn’t have other guns to strengthen, he couldn’t improve the gun itself.

Thus, he could only work from the bullets.

Fortunately, Enchanting could be used on consumables like bullets.

Ye Zhongming didn’t enchant it right away. He thought about it and started to strengthen the claws themselves. He strengthened four of them. This grey material shone a small light even under broad daylight.

He placed these claws near a bullet and he used Enchanting Technique. Light swirled and a translucent bullet appeared in his palm.

This bullet didn’t look like a metal at all, instead, it looked like an art piece made of crystal.

“Penetration +4.”

A stat appeared in his mind. This was the benefit that the Smith job gave him. Even when crafting equipment, he could find out all the stats about it.

This was what he gained after Ye Zhongming got familiar with his secondary job. This experience wasn’t written on the scroll.

Ye Zhongming grabbed one more to enchant this bullet. After it lit up, its stat became “Penetration +6.”

After seeing this value, Ye Zhongming understood. The same material could stack and would add to the original stats. But this effect would weaken. For example this bullet, if he used one more claw, that one just add one point of penetration.

He didn’t take the risk. Ye Zhongming used the remaining two claws on the other two bullets. So now he had three bullets with strong penetration, one with 6 points of penetration!

Penetration was something that he wanted. This stat was just the armor piercing effect that was suitable for the Ape Turtle.

He placed the three bullets into the chamber. Ye Zhongming stood up and took in a few breaths before he walked out of the hidden place.

The Ape Turtle built its nests on a huge cement stirrer. The earth’s devices gave it a sense of freshness.

It didn’t like the daylight so it was sleeping in the car.

The surviving humans and zombies were probably eaten by this Ape Turtle. It needed sleep to digest the food and turn it into its own strength so that it could evolve quickly.

When Ye Zhongming was within 20 meters of it, it opened its eyes. It sniffed and rage appeared on its face that was covered in black fur.

Its two meter long body surged out from the vehicle and it landed with a loud thud. Its huge eyes locked onto him.

Monsters were very sensitive to human scent, very few people could sneak attack monsters of a similar level.

Ye Zhongming looked at the monster that was covered in green scales and did a provocative gesture.

Monster’s evolved more than lifeforms on earth and their intellects were limited to their level. For example this level two Ape Turtle, its intellect was based on its species and not only level. Even if its intellect was not on the level of humans, it was smarter than many of those on Earth.

So it might not understand that gesture but it could understand what it meant. What infuriated it was that this human actually took out a red cloth!

Right, when it saw the red cloth it got easily angry. That was the experience that humans in his last life gained. After clearing out the zombies, Ye Zhongming found this piece.

Wu wa!

It cried out really loudly. After roaring, its body stood up and surged right at Ye Zhongming. Its attack method was similar to humans.

But Ye Zhongming knew that its attack was stronger than humans. It was extremely strong, both its hands and legs had sharp claws that could easily rip apart the body of three star evolved experts. Its defence was strong too as its stomach that it revealed from standing up wasn’t a weakness. Scales also covered that area too.

The Ape Turtle was really quick and in just a blink it was in front of Ye Zhongming. Its claw swept right at Ye Zhongming’s face. If he got hit, his flesh would open up.

He jumped backward and shoved the red cloth into his waist to continue to provoke the beast. While dodging, he fired the gun.

“Peng”, the body of the Ape Turtle shook. It was shocked about the sneak attack and it looked at its stomach to see that a few scales were broken. Fresh blood was flowing out.

The monster cried out once more. This time everyone could hear the rage in its voice.

This despicable human actually injured it! This Ape Turtle went berserk and jumped to close the distance. It waved its claws and used its skill--- Tempest Claw

Two claws struck so quickly that he couldn’t see clearly. The air was being ripped apart. If he was hit, his body would be ripped into pieces.

But Ye Zhongming had guessed it was coming and waved his blade in front of him to block its attacks.

The giant recoil transferred to his palms and made it hard for him to hold on. The gap in level made it tough for him to battle it head on. Half of his body was going numb because of the giant strength.

He felt some regret about the effect of that penetration+4 bullet before retreating. A giant tail brushed past his body, and the wind that it caused made Ye Zhongming feel some pain in his skin. The giant tail smashed the ground and left a half a meter large hole.

In a normal state, if the Ape Turtle saw a human dodge its second skill, then it would become more careful.

But Ye Zhongming had experience from his last life. As he wasn’t as strong as the last life, there weren’t many methods that he could use. But at least he was able to make it lose its mind. That red cloth stimulated this beast’s senses.

Seeing the Ape Turtle pounce at him once again, Ye Zhongming did something unexpected. He sliced forwards and missed. That arm appeared right in front of its mouth!

The Ape Turtle saw the human do something so stupid so it didn’t hesitate, opening its mouth to bite down.

If someone was observing, they would notice the grey shield that Ye Zhongming had been wearing on his left hand since he had gotten it. But now it had been moved to his right hand!

Seeing the Ape Turtle bite down, Ye Zhongming looked more relaxed and did not panic!

His wrist waved and the blade spun around to stick to his arm. One was on top and the shield was below, protecting the arm in the middle.

Ka!

A ear piercing rubbing sound could be heard. That bite that the Ape Turtle thought would succeed was blocked just like that!

Shortly after, a black gun barrel stretched in from the small gap. A translucent bullet shot out from the barrel!
