Chapter 673: When the Rain Continues
In his last life, in the apocalypse that Ye Zhongming was familiar with, there were many reasons why humans were able to live in a world filled with more and more higher-level zombies, monsters with extraordinary reproductive abilities, mutated things with high intellect, plants and animals which evolved into powerful beings.
But one thing couldn't be denied, among all those reasons, one of the biggest was the invention of crystal weapons.
Weapons were important. Especially in human history, weapons evolved along with time and got much stronger than humans themselves.
It was the same in the apocalypse too. Zombies and mutated beings, while evolving, some parts of their bodies would change. Some were not obvious, like skin and bones, while some were more obvious, like tails, iron arms, sharp claws, etc., weird shapes.
Those monsters with special features would undoubtedly have a more significant advantage.
Maybe some strong humans could face off with them with skills or jobs, but these humans were the minority. Most humans were newly evolved, so they were powerless when facing these nonhuman lifeforms.
So how would humans deal with these monsters? Guns? Not to mention that the weapons designed during peacetime to be used against other humans were getting weaker against the stronger monsters, and the destroyed production line of weapons was also not enough to keep up with their usage.
Weapons from the gachapon? Too little.
Weapons crafted by Smiths? Too little.
Weapons from the dungeons? Too little.
Although the weapons obtained during this channel were strong, there were too few. As compared to the number of survivors, the contrast was huge.
This was why human evolution speed couldn't catch up to the mutated life forms at the start of the apocalypse. Along with weapons that weren't getting stronger, it wasn't hard to see why there wasn't an absolute disadvantage.
Only until crystal weapons appeared.
Ye Zhongming remembered clearly the day he came back from a mission and he got a piece of shocking news. A large base worked with a squad to clear out a famous dungeon, which was a complete victory. A week after the victory, the two forces fought to reclaim a primary city!
Humans had never obtained such gains before; they had not yet wiped out so many zombies and monsters in one go. Even nuclear attacks couldn't compare to this.
Ye Zhongming found out that it was due to a new weapon. These weapons were different from traditional guns. They didn't need gunpowder but demon crystals. More accurately, through technological methods, to obtain the energy from the demon crystal and then release it through complicated procedures to kill someone.
Crystal Guns, Crystal Bombs, Crystal Mines, Crystal Cannons, etc weapons were all formed.
Although they couldn't solve the problem of equipping crystals with cold weapons, the birth of crystal weapons helped solve the human weapons' strength problem. Normal evolved could use crystal weapons to fight against strong mutated life forms.
This was one of the most crucial moments of the apocalypse. Along with that memorable day, a name was remembered by everyone.
Le Dayuan.
The inventor of the crystal weapons, the Father of the crystal weapons!
Ye Zhongming was fortunate to meet Le Dayuan once during a group mission. He saw a type 30 crystal cannon they had spent considerable amounts to bring over being manned by Le Dayuan. Although he didn't have the right to speak to him, his looks were deeply imprinted in his mind.
Thus today, when he grabbed the tired-looking middle-aged man to run, he recognized that this person was the one that invented the crystal weapons. The strong person is known as the most valuable human of the apocalypse.
Ye Zhongming's mood was similar to when he got the ghost metal. He was filled with excitement and anticipation as he knew what he had hold of.
In his last life, the faction that Le Dayuan was under became one of the richest and strongest factions, and they occupied an entire city and built high and firm walls. With this to rely on, they built a city defense system that couldn't be sieged. On every wall were two 'Black Hole' crystal cannons that could threaten nine-star evolved and level nine mutated life forms.
Until Ye Zhongming revived, that place had the most humans and had the top three overall strengths!
All of this was because of Le Dayuan.
Now that he had this guy, would he be like that faction and have similar achievements?
He felt more and more excited when he thought about it.
"Why, why did you save me?" Le Dayuan's IQ wasn't like an average person, and maybe his personality had flaws, but when he saw that these people saved his life and used such a miraculous healing method to heal him, he naturally knew that there was a reason.
"I, I am not of much use; I can't kill zombies, I can't find food, I…" Thinking about what he faced during those few days, Le Dayuan's eyes were red, and he couldn't continue.
Ye Zhongming's eyelids jumped when he heard it.
You can't kill zombies? You might not have killed many directly, but those you killed indirectly were uncountable. He was a zombie demon king!
"I recognize you."
Ah? Le Dayuan raised his head and looked at Ye Zhongming with high-degree spectacles.
"I am in my 4th year of university and am about to graduate. I saw promotion materials about the factory, and they introduced you. I have always respected engineers and designers, so I remembered it. It was a coincidence that we bumped into you, so naturally, I would save you."
What material? It was just something Ye Zhongming saw on the factory door when Ye Zhongming came to find Le Dayuan.
He smiled. In the past, his identity would make people respect him, but now he was just a burden.
"All of you head out." Ye Zhongming told the others to head out. He took out a crystal and placed it in front of Le Dayuan.
"Do you know this?"
"Yes." Le Dayuan nodded. Everyone knew what this was. Most people have found out about the gachapon and knew that this thing could spin it to give rewards.
"I have an idea." Ye Zhongming was calm and solemn, "If we can draw the energy in this out and deal with it, humans can use it. Engineer Le, do you think this works?"
Naturally, you need to use technology to draw out the interest of those interested in research and development.
As expected, the moment he heard it, his eyes lit up. After agreeing, Le Dayuan took up the demon crystal and rubbed it in his hands. He smelled it and was considering the possibilities that Ye Zhongming had mentioned.
Ye Zhongming struck the metal when it was hot and said a series of theories he knew about the crystal weapons. He even revealed some parts of the system.
Le Dayuan was an expert, and he was so excited that he even forgot about the miraculous healing of his wound. He was enthusiastic and mumbled many technical phrases that Ye Zhongming couldn't understand.
"Eat something first." Ye Zhongming handed over a box of luncheon meat and a bag of bread, "I heard that people in research like to drink red wine. I found a bottle of this; you can drink it."
Naturally, he heard the news that Le Dayuan liked red wine. The thirsty Le Dayuan was grateful for it.
As for this bottle of wine, Ye Zhongming went to a supermarket to get it.
Ye Zhongming looked at Le Dayuan, who was eating the food, and said, "If you don't mind, then you can just follow us. At least you don't have to worry about hunger and can research the crystals. I will try my best to provide you with the conditions. What do you think?"
Le Dayuan didn't raise his head, and he continued to eat. Just as his movement got slower, he understood what Ye Zhongming meant; he was recruiting him.
"Help me do something; my life will be yours after that!"

Guan Changchun was enjoying and felt some pain. Rage rose in his heart, and he kicked the girl kneeling before him.
"Damn, you can't even do this, then what is the point of you?"
The young girl held her chest and dared not say a word. She didn't even dare to stand up.
The mechanic took a greedy glance at the girl before walking to Guan Changchun, "Boss, eat a can of fruits, and have some vitamins."
Guan Changchun acknowledged his subordinate and took over the can. While eating, he thought about the group he met today. He could tell they were all strong, but why did they save a piece of trash?
No one would be willing to raise a burden now.
Changchun suddenly recalled that his subordinate had that person's wife, so he wanted to ask her about it. He heard a large explosion before he opened his mouth, and the door was knocked open.
The building that housed their families was in chaos, and many people ran out to take a look.
"Don't panic!" Guan Changchun walked out with his iron pipe. He gathered many men and shouted, "Head back and wait! We are still here; no need to be afraid!"
Those people kept quiet, and he brought his men down.
When he saw these people, his expression changed.
"You!"
