Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1260: Big problem

This was the first time he had seen Red Hair so weak.

She was laid in the biggest gene lab, Liu Zhenghong’s own lab. She opened her eyes and looked at Ye Zhongming walk in.

She tried to smile, but her face was very stiff, and it looked like she was making a funny face to him.

“When did she wake?” Ye Zhongming turned and looked at Liu Zhenghong.

“A few hours ago.”

“Has she always been like this?”

“Yes.” Liu Zhenghong rubbed her eyes in exhaustion. Since Red Hair fell unconscious, she didn’t rest much. If she weren’t an evolved, she would have died.

“What happened? Did you get an answer? Can you solve it?”

This was what Ye Zhongming was most concerned with. In his impression, Red Hair might not be invincible, but she had never stayed down. No matter who she faced, even against the Saint Father.

But this time, she fell unconscious for so long after killing monsters that were lower level than her. This was something he couldn’t understand and made him even more worried.
Although both his hands were covered in blood, it didn’t mean he had no emotions. He protected his own people the most.

This was the reason why Cloud Peak protected its weak parts.

Liu Zhenghong didn’t reply to his question but pointed to the side.

Ye Zhongming looked and saw the two-faced monster lying on the other bed. But its treatment was far worse. Its body was covered in many tubes, from its face to its limbs. They were all dissected to reveal a different structure from humans.

“This monster attacked Red Hair. It was a liquid from one face.”

Liu Zhenghong walked to a machine and continued, “I tested the liquid, but… Sorry, with our current standards, we can’t find out what it is.”

Ye Zhongming was surprised by this. To him, there was nothing that was too difficult for Liu Zhenghong.

“Red Hair woke up herself?” If Liu Zhenghong didn’t save her then it meant that she woke up by herself.

She nodded, “Yes, she did. She has consciousness, but her body can’t move. She can’t control it.”

He tugged the new Star armor on his body. He was happy that he had previously obtained the star elf’s recognition, but now that joy was gone because of what happened to Red Hair.

“You said that she has been awake for a few hours? Are there signs of her getting better?”

Liu Zhenghong looked at the guy who was like her younger brother, “Zhongming, you are not calm.”

In normal circumstances, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t behave like this. He was anxious.

He was stunned and calmed himself down.

“Time is too short, and I am unsure if she can self-heal. Since she woke up herself, there is a high chance of recover. The undead dragon fish was unstable previously, and although it hasn’t healed yet, it has some combat strength. Red Hair should be the same.”

This answer made Ye Zhongming relax. He knew that although she was just guessing, it was most probably the case.

“Her matter isn’t why I came to find you.”

Ye Zhongming was stunned. Not Red Hair? Then what?

Ye Zhongming frowned as he looked toward what she was looking at, “It?”

She was looking at the two-faced monster.

“En.” Liu Zhenghong was solemn.

“It isn’t that I am too confident in myself, but at least, after evolving, here…” She pointed at her head, “Be it memory, understanding, or inference abilities, all of them have improved. Along with my strong body, if it was before the apocalypse, I would get any of the scientific prizes. My theories and results have exceeded Earth’s technologies by years.”

“Even in the apocalypse, I believe that even if I am not the best biologist, I am one of the best. There aren’t more than three people better than me in the world!”

Ye Zhongming didn’t say anything and just listened. He knew that the more she said, the more it meant that what she would say was bad.

“But I studied for so many days and have had no progress. None at all!” Liu Zhenghong picked up a test tube with some liquid, “This is what made her fall unconscious. When it touches air, it will vapourise. If a lifeform touches it, they will faint. The more they touch, the longer and worse it gets.”

“This will happen if you are five-star and above. It will instantly kill low-level lifeforms.”

Liu Zhenghong sighed, “Fortunately, she was strong enough. If not, with the amount she came into contact with, she would have died.”

“That undead dragon fish…” Ye Zhongming asked.

“That is an undead lifeform. Although it is effective on it, it isn’t as strong as on others.”

She placed it down and pointed at the green face.

“The tentacles have some dark green liquid. Its corrosiveness is extremely strong. With the things we have, none of them can resist it. It can corrode any material, so we can’t analyse it. This shows how dangerous it is. Fortunately, Red Hair killed it. If it fired the green thing, the outcome would be unimaginnable.”

Ye Zhongming was shocked. This thing was so strong?

“Fortuantely, when the thing corrodes something, it will dissect itself. Once it breaks down, the corrosion will stop. So if evolved touches this, whether or not you survive depends on the strength of your equipment and your resistance.”

“Sister Hong, what do you want to say?”

Was she telling him that the things in both faces were something they had no way of understanding?

She sighed and said something shocking, “Zhongming, we are in big trouble this time.”
