Longrun Apartments was not far from the motel that the trio decided to rest in, it was just a few minutes walk away. One could even see the window of 1107 from their room.
The room was really dark and there was only slight illumination from the colored wheel. Other areas that allowed one to look in from the outside were tightly covered.
Ye Zhongming sucked in a deep breath to calm his excited heart.
In front of him was a colored gachapon, it was even a five colored one. Only those two regions turned grey. The job scrolls on it was taken by someone.
Ye Zhongming couldn’t help but think back to the rumors about this trio. They were famous for a period before they disappeared. It was probably because of this five colored gachapon.
What couldn’t be denied was that they were really lucky. Not only did they bump into a basic gachapon with the light blade skill, they also ran into the colored gachapon that was specially designed to get jobs.
“This fellow is a little special.” Little Tiger shouted at the five colored gachapon. He was really curious about the wheels.
Seeing the biggest secret that he found being taken by someone else, Brother Deng, Ah Li and even Little Tong who had just woken up were really furious. Brother Deng’s eyes were filled with viciousness.
To him, Ye Zhongming was a thief that was stealing something that belonged to him.
People were like this, they were always used to thinking from their own point of view, especially when it concerned their interests. They would even think that everything that concerned their interests was their interests.
Indeed they were the ones that found the gachapon. Ye Zhongming was stealing it but were they noble? Didn’t they attack Ye Zhongming to get the treasure at Pearl Lake? The only difference was that they were at an advantage then and they were at a disadvantage now.
There was no right or wrong in the apocalypse, there was only strong or weak.
“Seems like we have to spend a period of time here.”
Ye Zhongming looked towards the gachapon in a daze.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
Little Tiger clicked his tongue as he touched the shiny body of Moon Edge, he loved the blade.
Ye Zhongming couldn’t take it anymore and said to him, “Kid can you quieten down? We are hiding? What is nice about a stupid blade?”
Finding the colored gachapon was the first step. Spinning the five colored gachapon needed large amounts of demon crystals. Since Ye Zhongming was not willing to let the two job scrolls go, naturally he had to hunt zombies.
“Stupid blade?” Little Tiger raised his voice, “You are calling this a stupid blade? This is a top blade! Did you see it slice zombies? It is like slicing vegetables, their bodies lay all around…”
“Shut up!”
Ye Zhongming didn’t understand how such a nice kid loved to talk so much.
“Brother Ye, our two blades look similar it shouldn’t be a coincidence right?” Little Tiger laughed. He didn’t keep quiet and instead headed over to ask.
Ye Zhongming nodded, “Job, I have a smith job. I crafted these two.”
The job wasn’t a secret. Survivors would find out about it sooner or later. Since Little Tiger followed Mo Ye to join his team, there was no need for him to hide anything from him.
“So amazing?” Little Tiger scratched his ears and he looked excited to have his own job.
“They have conditions and restrictions. You will understand when you have a job.”
“When will I be able to get a job?” Little Tiger looked at Ye Zhongming and he said.
Ye Zhongming smiled, “You don’t have to probe. I can tell you right away that we can get two jobs from the wheel. I will hand them out based on type, the rules is…”
He stared at Little Tiger and said slowly, “Who is more willing and firm to walk together with me.”
Little Tiger lowered his head and didn’t say anything. Ye Zhongming found that normal. If Little Tiger showed loyalty to him just to get a job, then he definitely wouldn’t keep such a person.
“I will listen to Captain Mo.” Little Tiger was loyal to his own captain. The temptation of a job was huge but he didn’t behave out of hand. He knew that even Mo Ye didn’t have a job now so it wouldn’t be his turn.
“Don’t be discouraged. Although it is hard to get, but to me, it isn’t a difficult thing.”
“As long as I listen to you?”
“Yes.”
Little Tiger touched his head and pouted, “Can you not be so obvious when you are trying to bait people? You are too direct.”
Ye Zhongming retracted his gaze from Little Tiger’s body and then looked at the phone with an alarm set that was placed in the middle of the road. Ten seconds later, the phone would ring and attract the surrounding zombies.
.
“Being direct is better than beating around the bush.”
…………………………………………………………………………………………
The phone rang and the elegant music was out of place with this world that was riddled with holes.
But the zombies wouldn’t care about that. They only know that sound would mean fresh blood and flesh. A moment later, hundreds of them crowded over.
“Hong!”
The box below the phone exploded and the zombies were blown apart. Broken limbs fell like rain and a thick gory smell spread in the sky.
“Your turn!”
Ye Zhongming looked at Little Tiger whose mouth was agape, “Where did you learn how to create bombs? Remote controlled ones? You need to get investigated.”
Ye Zhongming rolled his eyes while Little Tiger jumped out of hiding. He ran while killing those zombies that weren’t killed by the bomb. He was even mumbling about how he hated doing such dirty jobs.
At this time, another explosion spread out from another street. Seemed like Liang Chuyin had succeeded too. On a rough count, this morning could net them 200+ crystals.
Ye Zhongming frowned.
Once Little Tiger finished the zombies and dug out the crystals, Ye Zhongming told him to help Liang Chuyin. He held his blade, getting into a street and disappearing.
The collection speed was too slow!
Each spin on the five colored gachapon would need many crystals. Based on what the trio said, the last time they used 200+ crystals so this time they needed at least 350 crystals. The final spin would at least need 500.
Based on the current speed, they would take two days.
That was too long. Not to mention if Xia Lei was willing to waste so much time, even Ye Zhongming himself was not willing. After all, the few days of being unconscious had slowed down his evolution speed so he had to catch up.
Which was why he decided to move out alone. He was going to use level two demon crystals to replace normal crystals.
His target was a supermarket.
When the apocalypse started, it was peak hour and many people weren’t home. Those who just ended work were in the mall and the supermarket which meant that there were dense crowds of zombies there.
Thinking from another point of view, the zombies here also ate many humans so their evolution speeds would be high too. The chances of meeting level two mutated zombies here would be much higher.
If it was someone else, a one star evolved would flee when seeing a level two zombie. But Ye Zhongming was different. He was the top one star evolved and he also had Moon Edge. He understood all the zombie types too. This was why he set his target as the large supermarket.
He hid in the opposite street and observed for a long time. After catching everything around, he got in from the side.
Although it was the day, but the visibility inside was really bad. The few windows that light shone through were blocked by layers of racks. Without electricity, the supermarket was dark like night time. There was also the bad smell of rotting food or corpses.
Ye Zhongming squatted beside the wall and listened in. He counted and when he reached a certain number, he jumped up. He sliced the head of a zombie that had just turned the corner while he grabbed its hair, carrying the broken head.
He dug out the demon crystal and he tossed it out. The rolling sound attracted the zombies around and dozens of them popped up from all around to see what was moving.
Ye Zhongming didn’t kill these normal zombies who had their backs exposed to him. He was waiting for something bigger.
A minute passed and the head was being kicked like a leather ball but there was still nothing abnormal. Ye Zhongming was slightly disappointed. Seemed like there weren’t any high level zombies on this floor.
Since that was the case, he couldn’t let these zombies go. He held his blade and attacked. With this sharp Moon Edge and his past experience, not only was he quick, he didn’t even make much noise. Moments later, he killed over ten of them.
Right when he wanted to continue and wipe out the nearby zombies, Ye Zhongming was alerted. He raised his head and saw a pair of red eyes staring at him from the ceiling.
“Mutated Huntsman Spider.”
Ye Zhongming was shocked and recognised this black monster that looked the size of a goat.
Although spiders in the city weren’t as big as those in the wild, there were still many of them. The most common ones were in all human buildings.
These huntsman spiders were common in the city but the biggest ones were just the size of a duck egg. But after mutation, things were different. For example this one in front of him.
To be honest, Ye Zhongming didn’t want to touch it as they were really tough to deal with. They could use their webs and toxins. Along with their skills, it was hard to defend against them.
Moreover, the reason why it was famous was because they were usually in groups. One or two big ones leading a bunch of small ones.
He wanted to search for level two zombies to kill but he didn’t expect to bump into this Huntsman Spider.
When people bump into each other in a narrow road, only one would survive.
