Ye Zhongming sliced the last zombie on the field. At this point, he gained over 30 level 1 demon crystals.
Ye Zhongming didn’t feel that it was enough as he had to spin twice.
Such a good chance had appeared in front of him so there was no reason for him to just take one. He wanted both of them.
But he had a problem.
There were many students who turned into zombies. Along with the affected ones, the number had reached a terrifying one.
Ye Zhongming was really strong but he had no confidence in dealing with over 20 zombies at once. Thus, he had to choose scattered zombies.
The field was a good hunting ground. There weren’t many people here during the infection. Most of them came from other places and they weren’t densely grouped.
But other places were grouping up. With his current strength, he didn’t dare to test them.
After thinking, he decided to head back to the classroom block to collect those crystals that he didn’t have time to collect.
Although he was a one star evolved, but after the fighting on the field, Ye Zhongming felt like he was losing stamina. He had to eat some chocolate while proceeding.
When he was back, he was already out of strength.
Of course, he had huge gains and along the way, he killed many more zombies.
Since he left Mu Xinfei’s apartment, he had collected over a hundred level one demon crystals and one level two one.
All of this was within half a day of the start and that was unimaginable. Ye Zhongming spent a few hours completing something he took over a year to do in his last life.
After sitting down, Ye Zhongming regained some stamina. One star evolution increased not only his physique but also his recovery speed.
One star was a little low so the recovery ability was not obvious. When one reached a high level, one’s self recovery was really terrifying. Ye Zhongming personally saw his captain, that eight star warrior get sliced until his spine was revealed and he actually recovered in just three days.
Five minutes and he felt much better. He went back to the school and prepared to dig out the demon crystals.
But when he saw one of them at the stairs, his eyes opened wide.
The demon crystal on its head was dug by someone!
Ye Zhongming’s heart shook, did someone grasp the secrets of the wheel so quickly? They started to advance on their path of evolution like him.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want others to evolve. On the contrary, he hoped for more humans to have the strength to overturn the fact of humans being at the bottom of the pyramid.
But that didn’t mean that people could steal his hard work. That action made him annoyed.
But that just lasted for a second before he ignored it. Such things occurred often in the last life. If you used old morals to measure the apocalypse, then even before a zombie bites you, you will die from the anger that you feel.
What he cared more about was whether or not he could get the crystals back.
The three colored wheel didn’t belong to him. Whoever spun it would get the rewards. If he lost the chance to spin it because the demon crystals were dug away, then he would even feel like dying.
He ran along the stairs and went past the path he walked previously. He noticed that all the crystals were dug.
He frowned and was a little frustrated. He walked to that classroom and saw that there was really nothing left.
When he was on the fourth floor, he heard a voice at the corridor. Not only one. He hid and guessed that this was the group that dug his crystals.
“How many?”
A rough voice said.
“After digging all these, it would be 35.” Another person replied.
“En.” That rough voice replied, “Teacher Wang you do research, what do you think about these crystals? Did you notice what it is used for?”
Teacher Wang didn’t reply right away. He paused for a few seconds, “It should be an energy body, I would have to analyse them in a lab to know but I think that it would be useful for us.”
“You are actually saying such nonsense.” The third voice rang out and his tone was filled with disdain.
“If we want to know the answer, we can only attack that person.”
The first voice again. But that sentence made Ye Zhongming shocked as he knew that they were talking about him.
“Not so easy, that person is too strong such that all of us added together isn’t his match.” Teacher Wang sighed, but his tone changed, “But this means that it is because of these crystals.”
In the corridor was the hooligan Brother Five and his two men. Apart from them, was that teacher with spectacles and four to five students.
At this moment, those students were digging crystals. Brother Five, his men and Teacher Wang were talking at the side.
Brother Five wanted to continue saying something but he glanced at the sneaky figure at the stairs. He was shocked and right away he held something to face that direction.
Ye Zhongming found it a waste, he knew he lost his chance to get close.
But after all, he was evolved. He used strength and his blade sliced at the spectacle guy holding the bag of demon crystals.
Since he couldn’t subdue them, then at least he would get the crystals!
Ye Zhongming could just walk out. With his strength, it was more than enough to deal with these normal people.
But when he was observing, he actually saw that three of them were holding semi automatic rifles.
Although he was strong but he had not reached the level where he could ignore guns. He even thought about giving up on the thirty crystals.
But facing the temptation of the colored gachapon and the jobs, he decided to take a risk. Just that he wasn’t lucky and was noticed right away.
Ye Zhongming’s appearance shocked Teacher Wang. When he shone his torchlight over and saw a blade slashing at him, his legs went soft.
Coincidentally, his legs caused his body to lose support and fall down, helping him to dodge the blade.
Ye Zhongming was surprised but he didn’t stop at all. He went from hacking to slicing as he attacked once more.
One would be smart when one was in danger. Whilst shocked, Teacher Wang grasped the key– the demon crystals in his hands.
He shouted and tossed them at Ye Zhongming.
That action saved his life as Ye Zhongming retracted his blade and grabbed the bag before retreating.
At that point, the gun fired.
The entire process of Ye Zhongming getting back the demon crystals and retreating only lasted for a few seconds. But if one faced a well-trained shooter, he would be able to fire several times.
Be it Brother Five or his two men, this was the first time they came into contact with guns. It would be amazing if they knew how to reload and open the safety. Getting them to pull the trigger right away when facing the enemy was a little too much.
The outcome was that only until Ye Zhongming retreated did they react and fire.
The bullet curved in the corridor and flew about in the small space but none of them flew towards Ye Zhongming. Not only would they hesitate when they fired, but they also didn’t grasp precision at all.
Thus they looked on as that person moved left and right and disappeared into the stairs.
Brother Five’s face was green. He really didn’t expect that he had so many people and even three guns but someone actually charged over to steal his things. He was even able to leave peacefully.
This was a total slap to his face!
“A bunch of trash, chase him!”
Seeing that person risk his life to snatch the demon crystals back, Brother Five was certain of its importance. The guns gave him enough courage so he ordered his men to chase.
Brother Five felt that the apocalypse was here just for him. Not only was he able to taste young girls he usually wouldn’t be able to, but he was also able to find guns at the armed forces building. Next, he just had to find out how to use those crystals and then he could become as strong as that person, even stronger! At that time, he could do everything he wanted in this city!
But he still overestimated the strength of his men and himself. Once they chased him out of the teaching building, he lost sight of that person. What welcomed him were the zombies that the gunshots attracted.
……………………………………………………………………
Only when Ye Zhongming returned back to the broadcast room did he heave a sigh of relief.
He had misjudged the situation previously and didn’t expect them to have guns. If not for the attraction of the demon crystals, he was even planning to give up.
But all was good, he got the demon crystals back.
Mutated beings and humans adapted quickly to the apocalypse and it placed some pressure on Ye Zhongming. He knew that he had to get strong quickly.
He touched the demon crystals in his hands and started to toss the things he risked his life for into the three colored gachapon.
