Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1344: Eternal Bloodline

Ye Zhongming sat in Sister Hong’s lounge and drank the seven-star tiaocao juice, which only the core members received one cup of each day.

This juice was concocted from a few herbs they got from the Secret Realm using traditional Chinese medicinal methods. If you use it for a long time, you can strengthen your self-healing ability.

Ye Zhongming didn’t punish that assistant.

If it had been another circumstance when someone had nearly caused an accident to happen to Xia Bai, Ye Zhongming would have punished him.

Cloud Peak had both kindness and punishment.

Their punishments were brutal.

But Ye Zhongming let him off because his identity was special. He was a researcher in the gene lab and had followed Liu Zhenghong and Ye Zhongming at the earliest times.

He was an essential member of the lab now. He was in charge of several projects and had a very high standard.

Ye Zhongming had to think carefully about whether he wanted to punish such a person.

Of course, the most important reason was because Sister Hong spoke up for him.
She mentioned that he was eager to prove himself.

That was enough to show his position in her heart.

In Cloud Peak, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t give anyone face. But he had to give Liu Zhenghong and Le Dayuan face.

These two contributed too much to Cloud Peak, such that it reached the level of his contribution.

Cloud Peak was able to reach its current level because of the two of them.

Sister Hong and Le Dayuan knew their place. They didnʼt interfere in other things besides being in charge of the labs. They just did the research, produced the items, and raised Cloud Peak’s strength.

There were temptations from outside. When Cloud Peak wasn’t as famous, some other battle squads tried to snatch them. Cloud Peak slowly got stronger and gained a stable footing, but people still tried to tempt them.

Ye Zhongming knew about this. Those factions… Almost all factions tried. Even Mu Xinfei, who had a close relationship with Cloud Peak, now had tried to probe the two of them.

The price even tempted Ye Zhongming. The basics were high-quality labs, test products, safety, etc. Crystals, potions, equipment, power, status, positions… These were even more than what they were getting in Cloud Peak.

There were some smarter people, like Five Ring Money, Cannibal Chains, Resistance Zone, God Hall, etc, who were good at reading people. Sister Hong’s first love, Le Dayuan’s ex-wife, old friends, relatives, etc, were all used to try to poach them.

But Liu Zhenghong and Le Dayuan didn’t leave. They were firm and had never wavered. As time passed, any organisation that went through the various layers of Cloud Peak protection to contact the two of them, the people who spread the message were handed over. Sister Hong even arrogantly told Ye Zhongming to stop these people from annoying them.

What else could Ye Zhongming say to them? Liu Zhenghong was nearly his sister, and Le Dayuan was his brother.

This was Cloud Peak’s pillar.

The sister’s intentions were obvious. She was speaking for her subordinate, so Ye Zhongming had to give her face.

He punished this person symbolically by making him the final person in the same batch of researchers to evolve to the next round before turning the page.

Actually, Ye Zhongming knew that this person didn’t have any bad intentions. He also misunderstood Xia Bai’s intentions as Ye Zhongming’s intention.

He was forgivable.

“What is Xia Bai’s situation?”

Ye Zhongming asked his question after giving Sister Hong’s face.

This was a huge issue.

Xia Bai’s evolution exceeded ordinary evolutions. They also lost purple equipment, which was a huge matter.

Liu Zhenghong didn’t reply immediately. She thought about it and said, “Do you know her abilities after evolving?”

Ye Zhongming nodded. Xia Bai didn’t hide them from him; he was also very curious.

“She kept all her previous abilities, and they got stronger.” Ye Zhongming said what he knew.

“But she lost some basic abilities, like… She can’t wear any equipment.”

Liu Zhenghong stood up.

Some lifeforms couldn’t wear equipment. Mutated zombies, plants, beasts, etc couldn’t use wheel equipment.

Cloud Peak and Ye Zhongming once used that point to craft some firm armor for Red Hair and the zombies she controlled.

But the truth proved that after wearing them, you could increase defense, but skills were useless. You just wore a layer of metal. This was nothing to lifeforms of the current level.

So, that plan failed after a few tests.

Now, Xia Bai couldn’t use equipment, which was quite unbelievable.

“What else?” Liu Zhenghong didn’t have as complicated a thought as Ye Zhongming. On the contrary, she was very interested.

Another good experiment body!

“Many new abilities.”

“Tell me about it.”

Ye Zhongming adjusted his thoughts and decided to describe it in a simple way to understand.

“Her bloodline has no more restrictions.” This caused a huge shock to Liu Zhenghong.

The safest way for a high level evolve to seem much stronger was bloodline.

Although some bloodlines could always be active, those were support bloodlines. They won’t have any active skills and won’t have any explosive strength.

But Xia Bai’s bloodline wasn’t. It was a battle bloodline. If what Ye Zhongming said was true, this meant that Xia Bai’s future battles would last for as long as she wanted.

“It became an ability?” Sister Hong added.

Ye Zhongming nodded, “Yes.”

“And?”

“Also…” He paused and continued, “Her ability cooldowns all disappeared.”

“That is impossible!” Liu Zhenghong stood up.

From her professional angle, she believed that the bloodline was possible. But she didn’t believe this. It shouldn’t appear on evolved.
