Gu Pan giggled and poured a 50 year Maotai into a translucent alcohol cup. He often did this since the start of the apocalypse.
It wasn’t that he had gone mad but because he was happy, he was really happy.
He graduated from a university, a famous one! He should have found a good job in the city and reached his first peak when he was 30 and then marry a beautiful wife and have a fat kid. He would have his own career and his own family.
Even he felt that this was his path.
Unfortunately, he was introverted and was a very simple person. When he entered the workforce, he was unlucky to meet bad colleagues. He was ostracised, blamed, and framed. Not only did he fail to advance his career, but he also ended up owing people loads of money.
To help Gu Pan pay his debts so that he didn’t end up in jail, his parents sold their home, dragging their sick bodies out to earn money for him. Although they paid up his debts, but they suffered from a tough life and subsequently died from an illness.
Since then, he changed. He became unwilling to communicate with others and locked himself in. He hated the world and lived like that for several years. Until a classmate who was close to him during university learned about his situation and lent him some money for him to start a business.
He chose to open a farm and was breeding the more popular green wild boar.
He had hope and gratitude as he started this new job. At first, things were smooth and he realised that he had a rare talent.
The boars he raised were all really strong and fat. He had the best quality boars in the area out of all the farms.
But when he was dreaming about getting rich, the buyer that signed a contract with him went against his word and didn’t want to purchase the boars.
The classmate that loaned him the money had invested in a factory to buy pigs as well as the future raising for these pigs. After this batch of pigs were sold, he could earn some capital. But the buyer didn’t want to buy which broke that money chain.
Gu Pan tried to find the buyer but he ignored him. He wanted to sue but the courts would take a long time to decide which he didn’t have enough.
Seeing that he didn’t have enough money to buy feed for the pigs, right when he was crying in front of the pen, the apocalypse arrived.
Gu Pan was shocked to realise that his pigs started to mutate. Some became bloodthirsty and violent. They charged out to attack the workers that fed them and would even eat walking zombies. Very quickly, the first batch of mutant boars evolved and became level two mutated life forms. The strongest one could knock down brick walls and could bite off the head of strong men with one mouth.
Moreover, no matter how bloodthirsty they were, they wouldn’t attack Gu Pan. After running out in the day to find their food, they would return to the farm at night and sleep beside Gu Pan. They were extremely friendly towards him.
Gu Pan was touched and he realised that he had a huge opportunity in front of him.
He started to find humans and zombies to mix in the feed to feed those boars that hadn’t mutated.
Some died but some survived and successfully mutated.
In just a few days, all his boars turned into mutated life forms.
Gu Pan couldn’t forget the scenes when he brought a bunch of them to walk out of the farm. Be it zombies or mutated beings, all of them turned into corpses and feed when attacked by this close to 100 strong boar hoard.
His pets attacked, ate and evolved!
Very quickly he had dozens of level two mutated boars. Since then, Gu Pan found out about the apocalypse gachapon.
Crystals which others felt needed to risk their lives to get was something he got the easiest. He was also able to evolve and become one star. He also obtained many other things, some to eat, some to use, some to play, weapons and even immunity potions and equipment.
He was the strongest person in the suburbs.
But he knew that he couldn’t be satisfied like that, he had to keep himself strong. So he made his boars evolve. The level two ones needed more energy so he shall leave that to next time. He let the level one boars evolve and then he started to gather level two demon crystals. He searched for the level two wheel as he wanted to become level two evolved.
He drank the Maotai in the cup and then he threw a famous whiskey into the wall, shattering it all over. The few highest level boars looked at their master and then continued to sleep.
“What nonsense, so disgusting.”
Gu Pan cursed before taking out a bottle of wine and tasting it.
The one star evolved body made Gu Pan’s wine addiction even worse. In the past, he would get drunk from just 250ml of alcohol, but he could even drink a liter now and still think clearly.
He contemplated the news he heard recently and analysed where the level two gachapon could be.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
His heart felt some pain and that would only happen when his pets died.
He didn’t panic. He closed his eyes to sense it before breathing out.
The one that died was a level one boar.
This thing happened in the past. After all, mutated boars couldn’t eat feed like before and they needed flesh. Gu Pan couldn’t always be by their side so he allowed them to head out to hunt. Although he felt heart pained that they were killed by others, he didn’t care much.
But a moment later, he sensed another death. Although it was also a level one boar, but two deaths made him suspicious.
Did they face a level two zombie or mutated life form?
When he was finding it weird, there was another signal. A third one died!
This time he was shocked. Three deaths didn’t happen before so something huge must have occurred.
He walked out of his room to sense the surroundings. He noticed that they died from three different directions so he was less worried. If that was the case then it might be an accident.
But he still treated them as his own sons and daughters so he decided to take a look. He gave out a ‘lu’ sound to summon a few level two boars that were resting in his home. He found the strongest one to ride and he pointed in a direction. He led a bunch of them into the dust.
“Boss he headed out. He has seven at home, three level two and four level one!” Little Tiger’s excited voice spread from the walkie talkie.
