Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 132: Li Qiang

The east district was a relatively cleaner and more stable district in the new base, it formed a stark contrast to the chaotic north district.

The reason was that most of the evolved of the base stayed here.

But people who were familiar with the place knew that it was filled with the blood of normal people.

When Jia Ming brought Ye Zhongming over, it was already 3-4 pm. Before this, Ye Zhongming walked around the base to understand the structures as well as the guard situation.

Due to the gun unit, this place didn’t lack guns. The guards had a gun each and their ammo looked sufficient.

That alone meant that Ye Zhongming didn’t dare to make a move recklessly. He was just a one star evolved. Before he was four star, normal guns could kill evolved. If he faced a squad, even four star or five star experts would have to retreat.

Only six star evolved would be resistant to the focus fire effects of the gun but they weren’t totally immune. If they were targeted for a long time they would still be killed.

The east region had more guards than the other areas. The two of them bumped into three patrolling groups along the way and Jia Ming had to spend 500 grams of minced meat to get through.

“That person is called Li Qiang, he isn’t evolved but he was a national shooting member. He got a gun in the apocalypse and even evolved didn’t dare to get close to him. He is quite famous in the east district and has many men under him. He is not evolved but his firepower is really strong.”

“I heard that his trading condition might be an evolution potion.”

Jia Ming looked at Ye Zhongming’s face and continued after he didn’t see any expression, “Many people are interested in his recipe like the two leaders of the base, Director Wang and Chef Jin but I heard that Li Qiong’s price is too high which was why the talks haven’t succeeded.”

“Why don’t they fight for it?” Ye Zhongming asked. He saw that Jia Ming was a little stunned and then he continued, “Why don’t Director Wang and Chef Jin snatch it? Li Qiang should be weaker than them right?”

Jia Ming hesitated, “Li Qiang is not weak and has over 200 men with 100 guns. They are one of the strongest private forces in the base. Moreover, Director Wang and Chef Jin are probably not… So united. They control a lot of people but in terms of actual soldiers, they don’t have much more than Li Qiang. Whoever attacks Li Qiang might get swallowed up by the other.”

“How do you know that?” Ye Zhongming smiled and asked.

“I, that, guess it.” Jia Ming scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed.

Ye Zhongming didn’t continue asking. The situation in the base wasn’t too complicated. At least Ye Zhongming had seen such things in the past and it was just a matter of balance. Li Qiang found many guns from someplace and he was strong. He had good things in his hands but it wasn’t so well such that Director Wang and Chef Jin would risk everything for them. So none of them chose to attack, at least they wouldn’t attack because of a recipe.”

Of course, this was only the case when their evolution levels were low. Once they were strong enough to kill Li Qiang, they wouldn’t hesitate to do so.

Ocean Community was naturally not as famous as the government district that Director Wang and Chef Jin were, it was just a place with slightly better conditions. Ye Zhongming and Jia Ming noticed that there were people on guard, they held guns as they patrolled and there were even people cleaning up the area.

What shocked Ye Zhongming was that there was a long line at the entrance.

“Li Qiang is probably the only faction leader recruiting normal people in the new base. People who do normal work here would be able to exchange for food and drinks. Although it is tough to get chosen but at least there is some hope. This is why Li Qiang’s reputation in the base, especially in the east is really good. This is also one of the reasons why Director Wang and Chef Jin didn’t attack him.”

Jia Ming explained to Ye Zhongming. He had a complicated gaze in his eyes as he looked at those queueing, he might have queued in the past.

He told Ye Zhongming to wait before he went over to talk to the guards. His voice wasn’t loud but Ye Zhongming was able to hear it. The guard looked at Ye Zhongming and nodded before asking two guys to search his body. After he didn’t find anything, he released them, asking one of them to lead them into a villa.

Ye Zhongming paid attention to the environment just in case. This was already an instinct of his.

The defence of the villa was much stricter. Just one look and Ye Zhongming knew that the person was military trained. Li Qiang probably had capable men under him which was why he was able to survive even without being an evolved.

After he entered the villa, he saw a guy sitting on the sofa. He was holding a bottle of water and looking at them while the others stood at the side.

“Boss Li, we came…”

“I know.”

Li Qiang tossed the mineral water onto the table and interrupted Jia Ming’s words.

“What else can you be here for, it obviously is for that recipe. Let’s be direct, as long as you can pay, you can take it.”

“I need to take a look first.” Ye Zhongming didn’t say any nonsense and said out his request.

Li Qiang signaled and someone brought a computer over. Ye Zhongming squinted and saw there was a thick layer of skin at his joint. That was not left from hard work but from shooting regularly.

For there to be such a thick scab meant that he touched guns more times than even many special forces troops.

Ye Zhongming concluded that this person was extremely dangerous if you let him get his hands on a gun.

There was a short video on the computer and it recorded details of the scroll. Ye Zhongming took a look and he had a weird expression.

“Boss Li, state your price.” Ye Zhongming pushed the laptop to the side and looked at Li Qiang.

“I am a little unfamiliar, I didn’t know that there was such a person in the base?” Li Qiang had been observing Ye Zhongming. He didn’t say his price and just asked about this problem.

“I just entered.”

Li Qiang looked at him and a few seconds later, he said, “Five one star evolution potions.”

Ye Zhongming shook his head, “No wonder you are unable to sell it, it is unreasonably high.”

“That is because my item is good!”

“If it is really good then why don’t you learn it yourself?”

Li Qiang’s expression changed and his men looked at Ye Zhongming with an unfriendly expression.

Ye Zhongming wasn’t afraid at all and said calmly, “The recipe is too strict and you can’t get the materials which are why you can only sell it right?”

Li Qiang scoffed, “If you can’t afford it then scram.”

Ye Zhongming squinted his eyes, “How about this, 100 level one crystals, what do you think?”

“Are you joking?” Li Qiang stood up and waved at his men. The meaning of which was extremely obvious.

“You control a wheel right?” Ye Zhongming didn’t care about the soldiers that were walking up to Jia Ming and him. He shouted at Li Qiang who was walking towards the second floor.

“So what?” He turned around.

Ye Zhongming took out a handful of crystals and tossed them to Li Qiang, “These crystals should be enough for me to spin the wheel.”
