Apocalypse Gachapon

Mei Na verified the treant’s plan.

Although Mei Na knew little, it concerned their lives, so she asked the person who contacted her about it in detail. This gave Ye Zhongming some news from another angle.

This made Ye Zhongming less wary.

The law of survival during the apocalypse meant that people who were 100% good didn’t exist. The treant showing a nasty side meant he could better win Ye Zhongming’s trust.

He had to shift the equipment from the lab now. Ye Zhongming knew that he had many things to do before the Feasting Day arrived.

He had to gather and move all the equipment near the city's edge. That was a huge operation.

To move the equipment down, he had to open the tunnel from the lab to the underground city. Next would be the width of the tunnel. Those places that were too narrow had to be dug. He also had to dig new tunnels to the edge of the city. Even if he couldn’t reach the suburbs, he had to try to get close.

This was not a huge operation, but it wasn’t a small one.

Fortunately, Ye Zhongming had many new helpers.

The factions that the treant gathered together became his free labor.

Things naturally didn’t go too smoothly. But with Ye Zhongming’s strength and the reputation he built up from destroying the Black Cloud Team and the Stabbing Wing Battle Squad, along with the treant’s promise, this calmed the evolved down.

Facing the death of remaining in Linhai, not to mention asking them to do some physical work, they would be willing to do so if you asked them to fight. Risking their lives was their only way out now.

They were unhappy because the commander of the plan had changed. As Feasting Day was getting close, this was not a wise choice.

But after understanding Ye Zhongming, they relaxed. Of course, it was because he revealed his identity. He was the boss of a big faction, and people were waiting outside, so the people who participated in the operation trusted him.

Also, when Ye Zhongming casually turned poor materials and basic tools into grey shovels and chisels, these people were shocked. Their gazes were shining at Ye Zhongming.

Lin Xing recruited the smiths and potion makers in Linhai. Apart from getting some colored equipment from the wheel, Lin Xing monopolized the others. Even then, most of them managed to get three—or even four-star. But they only had one grey piece of equipment on hand; some didn’t even have a single one!

A strong smith with a team outside was a survivor that anyone had to try to get close to.

So, on the first day of the operation, many female survivors tried to seduce him. The most open ones even opened their clothes in front of Ye Zhongming to reveal their bodies. They said they wanted him to test them and needed one grey piece of equipment to spend the night with him. One white piece of equipment, and they would serve him for a year.

The number of females also didn’t include those who looked at him in interest…

Even Ye Zhongming, who lived for two lives, couldn’t adapt. He had to maintain a cold expression, and when he met people who tried to seduce him, he had to give a monster-like smile to say that he was a pervert and would kill them. Only then did the women retreat.

Wu… There were also some guys.”

While he smiled bitterly to himself, Ye Zhongming understood the pressure and despair that Linhai brought for the survivors.

It was easy for the survivors to dig tunnels. However, the land geography restricted them, so they needed around ten days to complete the operation.

After asking for the exact date of the Feasting Day, the treant could only give an estimated period. As for the exact day, the treant would only know a day or two before.Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

Ye Zhongming frowned when he heard the news, which was a little rushed. The treant said that it would happen within 5-15 days. If it was later, then that was okay. If it started in five days, the project wouldn’t be done, and he would be forced to move the equipment on the surface. That was risky as he would have to face waves of dried corpses.

He would have to depend on his luck if he had no choice.

To speed up, Ye Zhongming discussed with the treant and started to dig in sections to increase efficiency.

Ye Zhongming didn’t need to participate, so he had time to study the dried corpses. He got some samples from the treant before searching if there was a circulation system around the heart.

There was such a thing.

Even the heart of the dried corpse was remade. Of course, it couldn’t be called a heart anymore.

He opened the heart and saw a small pearl inside.

This wasn’t the seed of the Death King Tree but the soul of the dried corpse.

“Do you know this?”

The treant nodded.

“There is a weird energy inside, but I don’t know what it is and how to use it.”

Ye Zhongming didn’t ask more and just kept the pearl.

He wanted to study it, but he looked at the wound on the treant that hadn’t healed after two days, so he said, “I have a way; maybe we can try it.”

Before the treant reacted, he used the Nurture skill on the wound.

This ability could not only help plants grow, but it could also heal their injuries. Ye Zhongming wanted to see if it was useful on the treant.

Although Ye Zhongming wanted to test it, he didn’t think much about it. But when the skill touched the treant, both of them were shocked!

Ye Zhongming felt mental energy leaving his body like a flood. In just two seconds, a third of his mental energy was gone.

The treant’s wound also healed immediately. Moreover, the fellow whose tree transformation was already very serious screamed!

“What are you doing!”

The treant was like a defensive woman and could only scream at her cheating husband.

The two of them looked at the wound!
