Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 187: Dungeon

Only when the sun rose up did the chaos in Wulan County calm down.

No one knew how many people said goodbye to the cold world during that night. Their corpses were just thrown all around like how god had abandoned this world.

Shengyuan’s identity was of some use. Many people recognised him as he was Huang Xijie’s top fighter. After he stepped out, the party helped him and helped to control the situation.

Naturally, there were problems and pretty much all of them had their hands stained with blood.

When people tried to attack you with a stick, you don’t have many choices.

Ye Zhongming gave out a series of orders.

Liang Chuyin and Le Dayuan brought people to search the places where Huang Xijie and the evolved frequented.

Mo Ye led Master Le’s assistant to trade food for crystals. Whoever had crystals could trade for more food, water and medicine.

Little Tiger, Xia Lei, Master Le and his three helpers led Yellow Ball to recruit people to form a hunting squad to hunt zombies. The conditions were really tempting. They would get essentials based on their contribution. Those who do well might even get evolution potions.

Shengyuan and Park Xiuying gathered some people to patrol the county to ensure that there won’t be more chaos. Moreover, they were in charge of collecting information. Anything that was valuable would be rewarded.

Ye Zhongming did something too. He searched for transportation, construction blueprints, design plans etc in preparation for the future.

There were many reasons why he stopped her. For example, he remembered two regions clearly from his last life. A small portion was the city he left and the large portion was the destination he was rushing towards. Apart from those, he didn’t know much more than other people.

He told them to gather information so as to find out intel that would be of use to him. After all, he was 10 years more advanced than the others. Things that others thought were useless might be valuable to him. Second reason was that he was tracking his path, he wanted to see if they could remind him of things that he missed out on from his past life.

If possible, he would turn all of these things into gains.

There was also another thing that was important which was that this was the start of the level two mutation wave. The lowest level lifeforms were evolving toward the next level.

This was not a random guess from Ye Zhongming. This was the time period that scientists gave which was a month after the apocalypse started. For a year after, this period would be the second level wave.

In this period, the low level lifeforms would disappear and turn into a large amount of level two lifeforms.

The evolution speed of humans would get left behind by these mutated beings and would end up having to chase up.

This was the chance that Ye Zhongming wanted. He stored a large amount of level one crystals and obtain a huge amount of one star evolution potions. Once the humans stabilised and wanted to evolve, this would be a sizeable fortune.

Thus, wasting some time here was worth it.

If Ye Zhongming and his team did this, because of how few of them there were, it wouldn’t be effective. If his team led the way to gather more normal people to do it, it would be far more efficient.

Wulan County was just a county so the mutated lifeforms here were far fewer than the city they left. So as long as they set up some order, they would be able to clear the area in a short time.

As for food and water, they got them from Huang Xijie and used them to trade for the crystals that the survivors had. But this was already quite decent, at least the food that Ye Zhongming gave represented the value that crystals had at the current stage.

When the team prepared to set off three days later, Ye Zhongming had 5 thousand more crystals and a hundred more level two demon crystals.

At this point, Ye Zhongming had amassed close to 20 thousand level one crystals, 500 level two crystals, over 100 one star potions and over 20 immunity potions.

Some of them were taken from the homes of the people Huang Xijie ruled over, some were obtained from hunting, and some they got from survivors. When Ye Zhongming and the group left, the crystals of Wulan County were all taken by them.

Apart from that, Ye Zhongming also got a lot of useful information like where there were mutated monsters, lifeforms, weird things etc. He personally went out to obtain two level three crystals and many materials. He even found several monster eggs.

When they rode the two cars and a few motorbikes that they prepared, they were much richer than when they arrived.

“With this speed, we will arrive there in a day.”

Everyone looked at the map and Little Tiger said excitedly.

Most of them leaned towards having peace. It was more like that in the apocalypse. When they were at the new district base, some people suggested not leaving and just running that place well. But Ye Zhongming declined.

After occupying Wulan County, those voices appeared again. Those high walls were the best foundations for a firm base. As long as they trained a few guards then things would be really peaceful.

That place was the edge of dense areas and there weren’t many mutated lifeforms there. Along with them clearing out the area systematically, there were no dangerous elements within ten miles. The base was enough for them to peacefully develop.

But Ye Zhongming still declined.

Everyone was heading towards the place that Ye Zhongming chose. They could finally witness his taste and that excited everyone.

“Let’s take a look at red hair first.” Ye Zhongming suddenly said.

They didn’t say anything and just drove towards the two story building they spent some time in. They noticed that she was still laying there, there were no changes from before. The huge wound on her chest also showed no signs of recovery.

“Haiz.”

Park Xiuying sighed and shook her head. She knew that the puppet that had once saved her life was really dead.

Ye Zhongming found it a waste too. Although he could create another puppet to replace her but this was still his first one and he had an attachment to it.

“Bury her.”

Ye Zhongming and Little Tiger dug a huge hole and placed red hair in. After burying her, they left the area with sadness.

“We need to abandon our vehicles here to pass this region.”

Ye Zhongming drew a line on the map and pointed at an area.

“Why abandon the vehicle? There is a highway and it is not within a city so the situation should be good.”

Mo Ye looked at the map and raised her questions.

“It is a dungeon!”

Ye Zhongming’s words shocked everyone.

Dungeon. Its fame in the apocalypse was similar to that of the gachapon.

The dungeon had two sides, one side represented danger.

There were all sorts of monsters in the dungeon. They were strong and fierce, bloodthirst and violent. They would eat anything they wanted to eat so that they could evolve. Humans were coincidentally what they loved the most.

Apart from that, the dungeon was a place that survivors loved to head towards as they could get demon crystals. They could get all sorts of resources and materials, and obtain jobs and pets. Obtain recipes and blueprints, anything that you wanted.

This was the playground for adventurers but also their graves.

The places where the dungeons appeared were said to be where the golden saint light attacked on the first day. Those invaders created these dangerous areas.

But this couldn’t explain all the dungeons. Some were unrelated to the attacks and just suddenly appeared. It was as if they just descended from above.

“Since it is so dangerous then why don’t we go around it?”

Xia Lei was certain that following Ye Zhongming who seemed so familiar with the apocalypse would help everyone get stronger. Since that was the case, there was no need to test their luck in this dungeon that even he said was dangerous.

Ye Zhongming shook his head, “Look, this dungeon is huge. If we go around, we need more days and that won’t ensure that we won’t face any dangers.”

“Also, I need to head into this dungeon to prove something.”

They looked at one another and didn’t say anything.

Early on the second day, they headed out and charged toward the mysterious dungeon.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Right when Ye Zhongming and the group decided to head to the dungeon, a few guests appeared in the courtyard where red hair was buried in.

A red vine that was as thick as an arm slithered into the courtyard like a snake. In the middle of its body was a white crystal that looked really eye catching.

This was a mutated level two vine.

A moment after it entered, two level two beats appeared on the wall. They roared and charged at the red vine. The three lifeforms started to fight in the courtyard.

Although the vine was a mutated plant but its combat strength was below that of the two beasts. It slowly lost ground and when it was unable to flee, it noticed a corpse buried under the soil. It headed right into the soil and used its sharp teeth to rip open red hair’s wound and bit her heart.

It felt that this corpse was different and its heart contained huge energy.

This was natural, after all, there was a level three soul pearl and a level three crystal in her heart.

Ye Zhongming wanted to take those things back but he saw that they had stuck together and lost energy so he gave up.

The level two vine wanted to swallow this heart. It would then recover quickly and have the ability to fight.

But at that moment, something weird occurred.
