In a small village near Wulan County, the zombies that frequented the area were gone. If not for the corpses around and the mutated monsters that still roamed, one would still think that this was still peacetime.
On the roof of the biggest two story apartment, a golden dog was tanning in the sun. It would lick its front walls and twitch its ears to catch all the sounds that appeared around.
Xiu!
A meat jerky was tossed onto the roof. The lazy dog suddenly pounced forwards to bite the meat jerky and it swallowed it in just a few bites.
“Yellow Ball can you even taste it like that? You need to taste the food do you understand?” Little Tiger’s lazy voice spread from below.
Yellow Ball glanced at the short human and gave him a look of disdain.
This was the 4th day since they got down the mountain.
That day, the heavily injured team rested for a full night there before coming here the second day.
Evolved really recovered quickly. After two days of rest, those with light injuries were mostly okay. Only Mo Ye, Liang Chuyin and Shengyuan still had injuries.
But Mo Ye and Liang Chuyin had mostly outer wounds. Although they weren’t totally okay but they could move without problems. They would be okay in just two days.
Shengyuan was the most serious one. He was the one at the front and even with a white shield and his job skills to protect him, he was the most badly injured. He just woke up last night and still couldn’t get off the bed.
At this time, the weakness of Park Xiuying’s cleansing dew was on full display. This was effective towards outside injuries but not internal injuries.
Shengyuan who suffered the most from shockwaves healed the slowest because of this reason.
There was some movement at the village entrance. Yellow Ball’s ears twitched and it raised its head to look over.
Ye Zhongming and Le Dayuan as well as his helpers moved towards the building.
Yellow Ball jumped from the roof and charged at the entrance. It ran while wagging its tail. It ran like a little pony.
A moment later, Ye Zhongming and his group were downstairs.
“Oi handsome, did you find food? We eat jerky every day and I am dying from that.”
They had just been through a life and death battle and were much closer to one another. Liang Chuyin sat on the railing of the roof and her legs swung there. She shouted at Ye Zhongming.
“Influencer, are you sure you are not dying because you are pregnant?”
Xia Lei walked out too. When she heard Liang Chuyin’s words, she teased.
“Ah! Sister Lei! What does that mean? I don’t understand!”
Hearing her act cute, the rest shuddered and left. They only left the two girls to laugh by themselves.
Ye Zhongming tossed the big bag onto the ground and took a bottle of water. He drank and asked, “How is Shengyuan?”
“Better than yesterday but he needs to rest.”
Park Xiuying was not in a good mental state. She used Cleansing Dew constantly and while she healed the other members, she felt really exhausted.
“En, red hair’s injuries aren’t getting better.”
Park Xiuying was the softest person in the party. Red hair saved her during the explosion and filled her with gratitude. She actually used Cleansing Dew on this puppet but it wasn’t useful.
Ye Zhongming frowned, “Let me think of a way.”
He pointed at the bag he brought back, “Master Le and I brought back some fruit cans, we can split it.”
The team gambled their lives with Ye Zhongming that day. Although the outcome was still perfect but it was terrifying. Even when they thought back at it, the party were afraid.
The final plan was a huge explosion. While the evolved felt terrified, they also had a new understanding of Ye Zhongming’s courage.
If anything small was missed out, everyone would die.
The thing that was wrapped up was the remaining gunpowder that Xia Lei had after igniting the two buildings.
On it were things like grenades that he got from gachapon or from other survivors.
Ye Zhongming’s final plan was to ignite these things. While causing huge damage to these monsters, it also made Shengyuan tank all the damage.
That gave him the rewards from the Devil Gachapon, he could also kill large amounts of high level monsters. He could protect their safety so he could kill three birds with one stone.
But the process was tough and really dangerous. He had to kill one level three lifeform to fix the wheel. If the explosion was unexpected and wasn’t what Shengyuan could tank, the others would have to take the hit from the explosion.
Fortunately, everyone survived. Those mutated lifeforms were hit by the explosion and they were cleared out by Ye Zhongming.
Although one still felt afraid thinking back to it, but their gains were huge.
He went to find Shengyuan and the two of them had a chat. Ye Zhongming then went to take a look at the Iron Zombie that was unconscious before he returned to his room.
The gains were huge and Ye Zhongming didn’t have time to arrange the things. Now that he recovered, he also found enough food for everyone. It was time to study and clear out the things.
The most valuable thing would be the crystals. After that battle, he got 9 level two crystals and 15 level three crystals.
Actually, Ye Zhongming didn’t even know how many monsters were summoned by the devil gachapon. Anyways he killed all those that he could find. As for those that ran away, he was not sure how many there were.
The level two demon crystals were still okay. After all, he had to just search and he could find some. A month had passed so the first evolution wave had started so the number of level two mutated monsters would greatly increase.
The most precious were the level three crystals as there were so few level three mutated lifeforms. A million-person city might only have five to six. Now that Ye Zhongming got 15 at once, this was a huge sum. If he met a normal level three wheel, he could even spin it twice.
Maybe he would be lucky to even spin a three star potion!
Ye Zhongming smiled and kept the crystals. It was about time to have to use them.
Apart from crystals, there were also materials from the monsters. These were good things, especially for Ye Zhongming who was a smith. When he was creating weapons and equipment, the materials could greatly increase their quality.
Out of these materials, something was more special. It was a red pearl.
It was the heart of the Heavy Armor Sword Skeleton.
For undead lifeforms, they didn’t have crystals to represent their level. Their strength level was based on the color of their bones. If you killed them, you couldn’t get crystals but you can get their heart.
In his last life, survivors called it soul pearls.
Soul Pearls weren’t useful for normal evolved but they were useful for craftsman. For example, Smiths, when one had special equipment, the soul pearls were essential items. Moreover, when one crafted green equipment, one had to have pearls.
Chemists, Medics etc needed these things for their recipes too.
A black soul pearl was really valuable.
Holding this soul pearl that was red and with black threads, Ye Zhongming had a thought. He felt like he could test something out.
He placed it down and took out something.
Even Ye Zhongming who had spent 10 years in the apocalypse was really excited when he saw this thing. His body was even shaking a little.
This was the door-like thing that Ye Zhongming got from the devil gachapon.
This was indeed a door, but it wasn’t huge and it looked really simple. It looked like a simple arc.
But what was special was that in the middle was a water-like mirror. As the door moved, it would ripple. There was a colorless gem in the middle.
Ye Zhongming touched this few centimeters tall door and he was actually really gentle.
This thing was called Gate of Sacrifice.
Ye Zhongming hadn’t heard of it in his last life and had never seen it. But that didn’t stop him from loving it. He had even played with it many times over these few days.
He was a smith and an equipment crafter. So when he got this thing, he had a rough understanding of how to use it. This was what was special about job users, they would be good at relevant things.
Potion makers could study potions that you had never studied before and they would be able to tell you what it was and how to use it.
Ye Zhongming’s Smith job was the same. He had never heard or seen it before but he was a smith and he was one with a prefix. He touched around and he knew the rough use.
Simply put, the user would sacrifice things and then based on what you put out, it would give you something back.
More importantly and what made Ye Zhongming really excited was…
Gate of Sacrifice was a piece of gold equipment!
