Apocalypse Gacha Chapter 171- Devil Gachapon 2

Ye Zhongming and Xia Lei walked down casually.

This was the basement of the granary, and it was hidden. Only Huang Xijie’s trusted allies knew. Moreover, the news that Shengyuan was trapped here didn’t spread to many people. Counting in the father and son duo, only 3-4 people knew about it.

When they saw two strangers walking in, the guards realized something wasn’t right.

The two of them were evolved, so they reacted quickly. They pulled out their daggers and charged out. At the same time, they didn’t forget to report it to Nurse Ge.

Ye Zhongming passed the two of them and stood at the cell door. He left the two and evolved to Xia Lei, who held Moon Edge.

“Who dares to cause trouble here?!”

Nurse Ge was used to being arrogant here in Wulan County and ignored the warnings from outside. She placed down Shengyuan’s hand, which was nearly broken; she frowned and wanted to scold someone.

The moment she opened the gate, Nurse Ge saw a young man standing at the door and looked at him like she was looking at a dead person. Fresh blood exploded from behind that person. The head of the person who greeted her had flown into the sky.

Nurse Ge wanted to scream, but a hand grabbed her neck and stopped her scream.

Ye Zhongming looked over her at the bloodied, dirty body on the ground. Even if his messy hair blocked his face, Ye Zhongming still recognized him.

Shengyuan, big fellow, his once brother!

Although he knew that Shengyuan was tortured, seeing his bad state made Ye Zhongming furious.

He tightened his hand, and the one star evolved’s throat was crushed like she was a little chicken.

Ye Zhongming could crush people who were the same level as him, much less one star evolved without any fighting experience. Those people had no way of going against him at all.

Shengyuan heard the commotion and struggled to open his eyes. He saw a guy walk before him and squat down to hug him.

“Big fellow, sorry I am late.”

Shengyuan heard those words before he fell unconscious once more.

Ye Zhongming carried him out of the cell as Xia Lei stood outside, wiping off Moon Edge's blood. The bodies of the two guards were on the ground, and there was a bloody and gory scent in the air.

“This is the person you wanted to find?”

Xia Lei saw the two-meter-tall guy and felt like he was ugly.

“Right. A fellow that can help us tank any damage.”

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Young Master Huang stood on the stairs and looked at the three corpses as his body shook.

A middle-aged man stood in the pool of blood. He lowered his head, and one couldn’t see his expression.

He was Huang Xijie, a construction merchant in the county and the current leader of the base.

“Xijie, it must be Shengyuan’s friends that came to save him…”

“Pa!”

A woman spoke in a draggy voice, and before she was finished, Huang Xijie interrupted her with a crisp slap.

The power of the evolved caused her to fly out. That hit could have shattered half her face if not for her being evolved.

“You are the one that caused it!” Huang Xijie raised his head and revealed his rage. His muscles were twitching from anger.

Six of his men had died in just that short while, and they were all evolved! They were killed like chickens, and those people escaped so quickly.

He did not feel heartpained about these people; what he felt unfortunate was the six bottles of potions. Since the apocalypse started, he only got around 20 potions. In just a short while, he lost a third of them.

“If you didn’t kill Shengyuan’s woman for a small matter, would this happen? Bitch! I spoiled you!” Huang Xijie kicked that woman once more, and she cried out in pain.

The dozen evolved here looked on, and no one dared to say anything.

Huang Xijie was their boss. Moreover, he was a guy with a strong job. Although they were all one star, he was much stronger than them.

“You said that two people did this? Was the guy two-star evolved? The girl didn’t attack?”

Huang Xijie looked at his son with a dark expression and asked.

“... Yes.”

“Mr Huang.” A guy squatting beside Nurse Ge stood up, “Based on the mark on her neck, the guy is the one that strangled her. It is spotless. Even if he is not two-star, he should have a job focused on strength.”

“Based on the temperature and degree of blood being hardened, they were killed around the same time.”

“You mean…” His pupils constricted.

The guy nodded, “The two of them attacked, and…”

He looked at Young Master Huang and continued, “Moreover, their strengths should be similar and can crush one star evolved.”

“Thank you, Doctor Mu.” Huang Xijie was quite polite to this guy.

“No need.” He smiled and continued, “Then I will leave; don’t forget what we agreed.”

He picked up the silver medical case and left.

Huang Xijie wanted to keep him; his expression changed, but he didn’t say anything.

“Dad!” Young Master Huang walked over and didn’t even dare to look at the corpses, “Why didn’t you make him stay with him here if… If anything happens, we still have a helper.”

Huang Xijie stared at him and ordered, “Be wary and be on guard; prepare to fight at any moment.”

He looked toward where the doctor left and sighed. Keep him? We couldn’t afford it.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

When Shengyuan woke up, he was lying in a tent. He sat up warily and noticed that his injuries were mostly healed.

He knew his own body. He would take half a month to recover, even with the evolved body. Was he unconscious for so long?

“You are awake?”

Shengyuan was shocked. He didn’t notice that someone was behind him.

He turned around and saw the young man he last saw before falling unconscious.

“You saved me?”

Ye Zhongming nodded.

“Why?”

Seeing the familiar but younger face, Ye Zhongming said slowly, “I am going to a dangerous place and need someone to help me tank damage.”

Shengyuan’s worry was reduced by a little.

That was normal.

Although it had been less than a month since the apocalypse started, the cruel nature of it was deep in their bones. One wouldn’t receive love for no reason, and one would make use of each other.

Although Shengyuan was Ye Zhongming’s brother in his last life, they were strangers now. Ye Zhongming was not sure if he was still the same big fellow. Suppose he was willing to tank damage for him. So he had to observe and then decide how to treat him.

Since that was the case, then trading interests was the best way.

“Why find me?”

“Because of your job.”

“Will I die?”

“Without me, you will die.”

The big fellow kept silent and said, “Deal.”

Ye Zhongming smiled and pointed at another side, “Here is something for you, giant shielder. How can you not have a good shield.”

……………………………………………………………………………………

They walked in the forest of Wulan Mountain. Shengyuan touched the giant shield in his hands with glee.

This shield was of a similar height to him; it was 1.5 meters long and had a silver-black arc with ancient patterns. Shengyuan raised the shield, waved it, and broke a tree, clearing a path ahead.

“You aren’t human.”

Liang Chuyin muttered and decided to ignore this barbaric ape that held a heavy shield and played with it like a toy.

This was the nickname that he gave Shengyuan.

This was the third day since he woke up. His injuries were healed a day later with Park Xiuying’s help. The party left the area and entered Wulan Mountain.

Shengyuan’s shield was custom-made for him.

The materials came from the abandoned army vehicle. Many people didn’t understand why Ye Zhongming wanted to slice and take a piece with them at that time. Now they had an answer.

Ye Zhongming added osmium and ghost metal with this piece as a material, forming the giant shield.

As for its stats, Ye Zhongming was shocked.

“Toughness +40, Hardness +40, stat: Self heal, heal as time passes.”

A basic steel piece became a white shield because of osmium and ghost metal. While giving it some weight, it also added toughness and hardness. The more magical thing was that this wasn’t a shield created through a blueprint and had such an overpowered ability. This was because of ghost metal.

In his last life, the big fellow used a green shield that was overall better than this. But the self-recovery made this shield as valuable as the green one.

One must know that no matter the equipment grade, it has a limit to how much damage it could take. As one used it more and more, that limit would drop. Once one went over the limit, the equipment would get destroyed.

For example, the battle blade that discovered the use of the stat stone was abandoned because it spoiled.

But with this self-repair ability, if it were damaged, it would slowly heal. In other words, it would not spoil.

Ye Zhongming looked at it and felt like getting the ghost metal from the Chain Prisoner was a good choice.

In the future, it would give him bigger surprises.

“Ye… Zhongming.” Shengyuan was still not used to being with the team, and he scratched his head, “Are you talking about this place?”

Ye Zhongming looked deep into the forest and saw a three-meter-tall golden wheel. The difference from normal ones was that there was a square across the surface.

Ye Zhongming sucked in a deep breath.

“I found you, Devil Gachapon!”
