Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 263: part 1- Ying City Faction Leaderboard

“Little Yun, how are you these days? You don’t know how worried your dad and I were after the apocalypse descended. A kid like you who didn’t know everything at all being outside alone, we… Your father’s hair turned white.”

Old Jia walked down the stairs while saying towards Young Master Yun. Young Master Yun didn’t show impatience at all and just smiled and listened.

Some time had passed since the apocalypse began, and that was enough to change the personality of any person. Young Master Yun wasn’t the spoilt brat from before and was now a good warrior trained by the zombie horde.

Young Master Yun also understood that his uncle told him this because he cared about him. It also relieved the awkwardness of being chased out to get food.

Everyone knew how dangerous it was to find food in Ying City.

But Young Master Yun didn’t mind. With the boss by his side, what problem couldn’t get solved?

“Wait.”

The three of them walked to the entrance when Ye Zhongming stopped the two of them and told them to stop moving.

OId Jia wanted to say something, but his nephew stopped him. Two seconds later, they heard some footsteps.

The three saw a guy stumbling over through a window on the first floor. Although his body wasn’t very stable, he was quicker than normal humans. Ye Zhongming was experienced, and with just one look, he knew this should be a one-star evolved.

But a bunch of zombies were following behind this one-star evolved. There were a few hundred of them. All of them weren’t evolved and were just regular zombies.

Young Master Yun and Old Jia were shocked. This was a dead zone; a collapsed high-rise building blocked the path ahead.

That one star evolved wasn’t familiar with this place, and he ran over here in a panic.

Looking at the 17-18 meter tall ruins ahead, that one star evolved cried out in despair.

Although regular zombies weren’t quick, there was not enough time for the injured one-star evolved to climb over these ruins before they arrived.

But he didn’t want to give up. He climbed upwards. Although there were places where he could grab, numerous poles and stone pieces were sticking out. He had to decide where to place his foot on. The horde slowly surrounded him. These zombies didn’t care how to climb; they just climbed over one another. They allowed their bodies to be pierced through. Under substantial mental pressure, the one star evolved and didn’t hold tightly and fell.

.

Zombies grabbed his ankle right away and pulled him back. The one star evolved struggled, and each fist would smash one zombieʼs head. But simultaneously, the other zombies would rip off some flesh from his body.

Bones could be seen on his back and legs in just half a minute. After which, the horde drowned him.

The three looked on quietly as they saw the zombie horde eat the evolved. One of them directly evolved to a level two zombie before casually leaving.

When it was at the road entrance, a red figure charged. A mutated bird bit that level two zombie and flew into the air. Before the zombie could react, it tossed it onto the wall of a building. The huge momentum and strength turned that zombie into peat paste. The mutated bird flapped its wings and quickly ate that level-two zombieʼs essence.

This was the apocalypse. Evolved were getting stronger, zombies were getting stronger; other mutated lifeforms were getting stronger too. The merciless killing of one another became the new stable but mysterious ecological chain. Apart from some who were extremely strong, if not, such a situation would continue.

Ye Zhongming had never considered such things before about why mutated lifeforms would kill one another. Why were survivors still stubbornly living?

This was his second life, and such questions were stuck in his mind. He chose a path that he felt could lead him to answers and would continue to take this path. He hoped that one day he could personally reveal the secrets of the apocalypse.

This goal was distant, and the path toward it was covered in vines and holes, but he would continue to take this path.

Until… He found the answer.

The three of them walked out carefully. Based on what Old Jia said, there were two supermarkets up ahead. However, survivors had entered them before, but many things were still left there. If they were lucky, they could find some food. But there were zombies and mutated lifeforms around, so they had to be careful.

Ye Zhongming observed when he got close and gave up on forcefully entering. At least a thousand zombies were gathered within a few hundred meters of the supermarket. A mutated Orchird was blooming at the second-floor window of the supermarket. Even if he was a three-star evolved, he wasn’t going to risk his life for some food.

Thus, he faked like he was looking in Young Master Yun’s bag before he took out five packets of biscuits and a few cans. He told Old Jia not to take the risk and eat those that they brought.

Old Jia’s impression of Ye Zhongming got much better. He knew these things could trade for a good gun or more than eight crystals with his faction. Or let the most beautiful girl in the faction sleep with him for a week.

They returned to the roof. When those people were still discussing how that one star evolved and was eaten by the zombies, they saw the three returning with some food. Their eyes opened wide. There were many zombies in the city and relatively fewer mutated lifeforms. So when hunting, it was rare to see mutated lifeform corpses, and there wasn’t a chance to eat meat. Now that they saw the canned meat, they were highly excited.

“Old Jia, the few of you did well.” That leader took the food and started to eat. The others split the rest, while the three didn’t even get a bit.

Young Master Yun was furious. Only two of them evolved. Young Master Yun felt he didn’t need the boss to fight. He alone could wipe them out. He wanted to kill them, but Ye Zhongming stopped him. Ye Zhongming then pulled him to the corner of the roof.

“Boss, this bunch….”

“The apocalypse is like that.” Ye Zhongming only ate level two and above mutated animal meat, so he wasn’t interested in such normal food, “We will follow them and find your father. Then you can make arrangements. He can go to Cloud Peak or stay with your Hungry Tiger Cavalry. There is no need to have a conflict with them.”

Young Master Yun was touched. He knew the boss was considering him; if not, these people were no different from ants.

“I know.”

Young Master Yun kept silent and rested on the wall to speak with Ye Zhongming. Old Jia saw that he wouldn’t get any food, so he returned in disappointment and apologized to the two of them.

Ye Zhongming took the chance to find out about Ying City. He was trying to gain some confidence before the event.

This event was a great chance but also an opportunity for vicious people to get rich. Although he didn’t think there would be people who could threaten him, it was better to be prepared.

“If we want to talk about Ying City, there are four strongest factions.” Hearing Ye Zhongming and his nephew ask him for information, Old Jia spoke excitedly. He lifted four fingers and said, “Renxing Battle Squad, Fierce Roar Battle Squad, Olive Green Assault Team, and Star Beauty Company.”

Ye Zhongming nodded. He had heard of these names from Yuanshang. That invitation card was real and reliable.

“The strongest is Renxing Battle Squad. They are all evolved. At the start of the month, they had an operation at the train station in the south and killed a nest of rats. They got a few dozen level three crystals and hundreds of level two crystals. There was also an uncountable amount of level one crystal.”

Young Master Yun smiled and knew that his uncle was exaggerating things. Cloud Peak wiped out the horde, and they still gained many crystals. Could there be more than twenty thousand rats in that nest?

“Now the leader of Renxing Battle Squad Bai Feng is a three-star evolved; he also has a job. There are other three-star subordinates under him and a handful of two-star. The others are one star.”

Young Master Yun looked at his boss and smiled, but he said nothing.

“The other three factions are slightly weaker but also strong. All of them have three-star evolved.”

“So many three stars?” Young Master Yun couldn’t help but ask. His boss just turned three stars, so how did all these factions have three-star evolved already?

Old Jia said with certainty, “Right, Little Yun, you don’t know, but Ying City was covered in blood for two weeks to get the three-star potions. Those factions went mad. Anyone who could provide the location of a three-star mutated lifeform would be given a level one crystal. Every level three lifeform was a huge battle with many deaths. Of those few factions, Olive Green Assault Team lost half their members to get the three-star potion! The other factions aren’t much better.”
