Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 168: Heard you taste like chicken

If the Brain Bug controlled a strong medium, it would become really strong. That was undeniable.

In his last life, the Brain Bug was like a top monster in the dungeon. On one side people craved them and on the other, they were feared.

Ye Zhongming meeting one half a month into the apocalypse was a misfortune. He needed to use his two star evolved body to block the attacks of a zombie ocean. But it was also good fortune, if he won he would gain so much.

Next would be time to collect his rewards.

Ye Zhongming casually took out a red thing from his space crystal.

Fire Extinguisher.

Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher.

He didn’t give him face and shot it toward the Brain Bug.

The Brain Bug couldn’t dodge and gave out a ear-piercing screech.

The Brain Bug was strong but its body was too weak. It was afraid of too many things like water. It needed oxygen and it also couldn’t take heavy hits.

By pure luck, one also found a way to deal with the Brain Bug.

This thing was really afraid of sodium phosphate. Even if it touched a little bit, it would harden its body and it would lose its ability to attach to a life form, giving it huge pain.

This thing was also really easy to find. Some dry powder fire extinguishers used such a thing.

Seeing the white mini octopus’s body tensing up and not moving on the ground, Ye Zhongming walked beside it. The killing intent in his eyes shone brightly.

“Please… Begging… you.”

Such a thought appeared in his mind like someone was whispering into his ears. Ye Zhongming didn’t expect that this fellow could communicate with him with such a method.

He pointed the fire extinguisher at it and looked at the bunch of level two mutated lifeforms getting close. He said, “Tell them to not move.”

“No… No…”

Before the Brain Bug’s thoughts finished transmitting, it felt a cold blade press on its bald head.

The bunch of level two lifeforms slowed down and one could see that they were struggling.

Yellow Ball and Iron Zombie were attacking viciously before so they obviously didn’t let this chance go. They continued to attack and killed four level two lifeforms.

The gap in their levels wasn’t much and once one side gave up on fighting back, that meant that they were dead.

But, due to the control reducing or them breaking free of the Brain Bug’s control, they started to roar and fight back.

Ye Zhongming pressed his blade down and the Brain Bug screamed. The other level two lifeforms were stunned and that moment caused two more to get killed.

The battle proceeded as expected. After Ye Zhongming left a few more holes in the Brain Bug’s body, those level two lifeforms were killed by Yellow Ball and the Iron Zombie.

Ye Zhongming took out the metal box that he prepared and after spraying it with the extinguisher, he tossed the screaming Brain Bug in.

On the other side, Yellow Ball was chewing. These same level lifeforms could provide it with huge energy. What shocked Ye Zhongming was the Iron Zombie that was actually eating.

The difference was that the Iron Zombie dug out the demon crystals and swallowed them.

Was this the way they evolved?

The skill scroll only recorded how to create the human puppets. Ye Zhongming thought that only by recreating more puppets one could get higher level ones. When the Iron Zombies weren’t strong enough, to create better ones or search for the Intermediate Puppet Skill.

He didn’t expect that the Iron Zombie would consume demon crystals.

Of course, Ye Zhongming was not certain that this method would allow it to evolve. But at least this was a new path.

The red haired Iron Zombie ate just one level two crystal before stopping.

……………………

When the Brain Bug was locked in the metal box, the zombie hoard was not under control anymore.

Xia Lei and the others were quite lucky. They chased the hoard for a while and killed many of them. But as the hoard was too huge and these 300 of them were out of stamina, they reached their limit. Even the evolved were panting and sweating.

So they chose to stop attacking and turned around to clear the battlefield.

When the zombie hoard scattered after the Brain Bug lost control, they were a distance away. After they noticed what happened, they cleared up the battlefield with much more care and safety.

But they killed too many today. Only at night did they manage to collect most of the crystals.

Of course, everything didn't go as planned. The blood scent was too intense and still attracted some mutated lifeforms. The party had a few scattered but intense fights. Apart from that, the zombies that weren’t totally dead caused some problems. When Ye Zhongming was back with the osmium and returned back to the new district base, only 200 of them were left. Half of the evolved was dead too.

In just a short two days, the deaths of the new district base were shocking.

With sacrifice naturally came the rewards.

After packing up and gathering in the room, Park Xiuying who was in charge of reporting was delighted.

“Guess how many level one crystals we got?”

The university teacher who had experienced counting money until her hands went numb was so delighted. She slapped on a full box and said.

“There should be… Over five thousand!”

Little Tiger looked at the box and said.

Park Xiuying rolled her eyes at him.

“The people we brought out weren’t experienced and they were courageous which caused some chaos. I think they didn’t even kill 10 each. But considering the strength of the traps, I think there should be around ten thousand.”

As water resources were lacking, they could only wipe their bodies and change clothes. Xia Lei found some wet tissues and shared them with the girls.

Park Xiuying raised a thumb and her white hands stuck into the demon crystal pile. Her eyes looked like the giant dragon protecting its treasure, “15000, how many potions can we get?”

Crystals were money now, without them one couldn’t exchange for anything. The party that had stopped her for a few days understood that point. They had such a huge fortune on them now which made all of them really happy.

But when Le Dayuan and Xia Lei looked at these crystals, they had a complicated expression. They were probably thinking about their past experience.

“I don’t know about level two crystals, they are all with Ye Zhongming.”

Park Xiuying waved and gave a look of innocence which caused everyone to laugh.

Ye Zhongming laughed too. He had over a hundred level two crystals on him now.

But these weren’t the biggest gains of the operation.

“Keep ten thousand, use the rest to spin the wheel.” Ye Zhongming waved. Little Tiger, Da Ming, Li Qiang etc carried a big bag to spin the wheel. Only Xia Lei, Mo Ye, Le Dayuan, Park Xiuying and Jia Ming were left here. Liang Chuyn was injured so she was resting in an apartment with Iron Zombie and Yellow Ball protecting her.

“If we are lucky, we would get around a hundred potions. Jia Ming, keep 50 and you can deal with them as you see fit.”

Jia Ming was really emotional. He was not confident about controlling the base but if he had so many evolution potions then it wouldn’t be a problem. He was confident in using the potions to take full control of the base.

“At this time you need to let people trust you. Even if you can’t control all the evolved in the base, you need to control most of them. Do you understand what I mean?”

“Yes Brother Ye.“

Ye Zhongming nodded and continued, “You need to gather people to move stones up the east wall. Stones that can smash people to death. Moreover, form a party to prepare to kill zombies tomorrow.”

“We are going tomorrow?”

Jia Ming touched his nose. He was worried that if they did this for a few more days that most of the people in the base would die.

“Only tomorrow. You will get a third of the gains. Then we will leave.”

“You want to leave?” Jia Ming was a little disappointed. He was used to being led by Ye Zhongming and gaining so much every day. When he heard this news, he was reluctant.

Ye Zhongming didn’t explain and just told Jia Ming to do the work.

An hour later, Little Tiger brought back 98 potions and also some useful items. Ye Zhongming handed over the 50 potions that he promised Jia Ming.

Early in the second morning, Ye Zhongming was on the east wall. There were hundreds of people here and each of them had huge stones.

Jia Ming led 20 evolved. He prepared some ropes to swing down and fight against the zombies.

No one knew what Ye Zhongming wanted to do.

Seeing that the zombie hoard wasn’t as dense as usual, Ye Zhongming didn’t care. He took out the box with the Brain Bug and said to this fellow, “I know that you can understand me. Let all of them gather here!”

“You… Let me… Go…”

The Brain Bug looked a little weak. Its white body was turning green and it was shriveled in the iron box.

Ye Zhongming nodded.

Brain Bug opened its small eyes and sent the silent mental energy waves down at the zombie hoard.

A moment later, those zombies started to gather towards this region. There were at least 6-7 thousand of them. But one couldn’t see any mutated animals or level two zombies. It was obvious that the Brain Bug without a host couldn’t control higher level lifeforms.

This was a one sided fight that wasn’t even dangerous. Those zombies were like sheep to be slaughtered. After most of them were killed, Jia Ming led his men to do the final killing.

.

At this point, the zombies in the eastern region were mostly cleared. The new district base had obtained a relatively safer entrance.

“I… Did it, you… Let me… Go.”

The Brain Bug was really anxious as it couldn’t last for too long in this form.

“There is still one thing you didn’t do.” Ye Zhongming looked at the Brain Bug coldly and stabbed a dagger into its body.

“I heard that you taste like chicken?”
