Apocalypse Gachapon

Their idea made sense if Yang Yixi and Mao Ying were telling the truth.

A closed city covered in tree zombies was no different from hell on earth. They were living underground like rats and might be found at any moment by those mindless zombies. It wasn’t normal if they didn’t think about leaving.

Ye Zhongming finally relaxed. The experiences of his past life made it hard for him to believe others. At least these two people gave him the best attitude and logical explanations.

He looked at their hopeful faces and felt bad to disappoint them. He looked at the water that had yet to dry up and shook his head, “The way I used to come in isn’t suitable for you two.”

They looked at each other in disappointment.

“But…”

His words caused the two of them to look up again.

“But there is a way out. When I leave, I can bring you two out!”

If others said that, Yang Yixi and Mao Ying wouldn’t believe them. Based on what he said, even the strongest survivors in the city couldn’t get out.

But Ye Zhongming came from the outside, so his words were believable.

Of course, Yang Yixi and his girlfriend wouldn’t chase him for an answer. Although their mentalities hadn’t changed because of the closed environment, they had been through the apocalypse. They knew everyone had secrets, and trying to touch them would turn people into enemies.

Although they didn’t get the answer they hoped for, they had hope, and the two were happy.

Some noise spread from outside, and a footstep got close a moment later.

A guy’s voice rang out, and he knocked on the door.

“Yixi, Yixi? Are you inside? I heard the guards say that you are back.”

“It is Ah Hai.”

Yang Yixi told Ye Zhongming before opening the simple door. He smiled, but when the person on the outside saw that there was an outsider, he looked shocked.

“This is Ye Zhongming, a survivor we met on the surface. En, this is Ah Hai, our good friend. We knew each other since before the apocalypse.”

Ye Zhongming and Ah Hai both nodded, but Ye Zhongming saw some suspicion in his expression. He only didn’t ask because Ye Zhongming was present.

“Do you need something?”

Yang Yixi looked at the dark bomb shelter’s tunnel and asked.

“The boss called us over. There are a few things to discuss with everyone; he wants us all to go.”

“Okay.”

Yang Yixi hesitated after agreeing. Ye Zhongming said, “Go, if you aren’t scared of me, I can walk around myself?”

The three said it was okay, but he shouldn’t go too far and not head to the storage room. Things would be okay only after they told the boss about him and everyone accepted his presence.

He looked at them leave and then around before walking towards a direction.

With his sharp senses, he sensed many in this modified camp. But not everyone had the right to be called to a meeting with the boss.

His equipment was damaged due to the intense fight. Once he was safe, he placed them in the gourd to repair. The green grade of the Thousand Leaf Phosphor Armor had reached the highest level that the gourd could repair.

The current Ye Zhongming wore simple outdoor gear, which was slightly dirty because he was crawling in the tunnel. He looked no different from other survivors.

As the bomb shelter was modified, its shape wasn’t like before. Ye Zhongming could deduce the original parts made of cement flooring and walls, which were relatively safer. The modified part was dug orderly but damp, with no bricks or stone. The defense was weak, and it was easy for accidents to happen. People who weren’t as well off lived in these parts.

Ye Zhongming walked to such a place.

There was rubbish around and a nose-piercing stench of sewage. Tents were built haphazardly, and there were many thin and numb-looking survivors. Even when they saw such a stranger like Ye Zhongming, they looked at him calmly before going back to staring aimlessly.

Ye Zhongming felt uncomfortable. He was used to such places and spent at least three years like that in his last life. Even after he left, he would often do matters in such places.

Although only a year passed in this year, Ye Zhongming had a very comfortable life. The women around him would often take good care of him.

He shook his head. The environment would affect one, and he was a little spoiled.

Ye Zhongming looked around and saw a guy squatting beside his tent, which had many holes.

“Is there a trading market here? Or a merchant?”ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

Various organizations in the apocalypse didn’t share profits like Cloud Peak. They were more of an interest organization where the higher levels ripped off the lower levels, and those of the same level would trade with each other.

Even the resistance zones did the same.

So many factions had trading markets. Even if they didn’t, they would have a middleman selling things to earn the price gap. Ye Zhongming was looking for such a person.

That person raised his blurred eyes, and after a long while, he reacted to Ye Zhongming’s question. His eyes even started to light up.

“Big Bell, Big Bell, come out!”

The guy didn’t reply to him and instead shouted at the tent.

A few seconds later, a thin woman came out. Half her hair even had an unknown liquid that dried up.

“400ml of water, 1 kilogram of meat, sleep with her, and I will tell you what you want to know for free.”

That woman raised her head to look at Ye Zhongming. She looked at Ye Zhongming’s clear face, which reflected that he was well-fed, and her smile widened.

Ye Zhongming sighed. When scenes that he had seen multiple times in his last life appeared once again, he felt melancholic.

He passed a piece of meat jerky to her and told the guy, “Tell me, or I will ask someone else.”

“I will speak!”

The guy snatched the meat jerky. It was hard to imagine that a one-star evolved used his strength in such a manner.

“Walk forwards. Do you see that grey tent? A few people are there, and they have things to sell.”

Ye Zhongming nodded. He used the weak light from the few piles of campfire to walk over.
