Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1412: Apocalypseʼs pride

Guancheng Chun didn’t know what Ye Zhongming was thinking, but he could sense the mix of surprise and disdain in the other man’s tone. It made him feel an urge to die.

He might fight back if it was anyone else. After all, he controlled a dark lab, and the results of his experiments were enough to make post-apocalyptic evolved compete for them. He was also a seven-star evolved, and his space equipment was filled with valuable items.

But this all depended on who he was facing.

His lab was impressive, but how could it compare to Cloud Peak? Cloud Peak had the famous Gene Lab! And who was in charge there? Liu Zhenghong was someone he had only ever seen on TV and in top-tier academic journals!

How could the results of his laboratory compare to theirs? It was said that Cloud Peak could now create near-perfect gene warriors. After cultivation, these warriors could match the strength of level-six lifeforms and even had growth potential. Just this alone was something Guancheng Chun could never achieve.

He had taken a dark, twisted path, somewhat similar to the infamous ”Sister Hong” from his past life.

Setting aside the laboratory aspect, Ye Zhongming himself was even more extraordinary. His combat strength had consistently ranked in the top five of the national region, and his weapon was ranked first in the country. His battle beast, Yellow Ball, had been freed from its side effects and had skyrocketed up the rankings, now sitting in the top ten. It was also rumored that Ye Zhongming had a dragon-like lifeform even more powerful than Yellow Ball. However, its relationship with Cloud Peak was unclear, so it hadn’t been included in the rankings yet.

How could someone like Guancheng Chun possibly stand up to a man like Ye Zhongming?

Even if he brought his entire laboratory and was given enough time to prepare, he still couldn’t do anything against Ye Zhongming.

So, Guancheng Chun did something Ye Zhongming never expected.
He knelt.

Though it looked a bit awkward with his four legs.

In his past life, Ye Zhongming had seen many people who kneeled without hesitation. Some would even lick others’ toes just to survive. For those people, pride and dignity were worthless.

But he had never seen a renowned expert kneel like this, especially someone like Guancheng Chun, who had been a figure Ye Zhongming had once looked up to in his past life.

In his past life, Guancheng Chun had been a dominant figure in his region, and it was said he had died in a fierce battle. How had he become so spineless in this life?

What Ye Zhongming had forgotten was the current status of Cloud Peak in the national region, his own status, and the status of Guancheng Chun and his laboratory.

In comparison, Ye Zhongming was like a towering authority in the industry, an absolute expert, while Guancheng Village was, at best, a mid-level figure in some company.

The difference was too great.

Ye Zhongming walked over to Guancheng Chun and thought for a moment.

”It seems the only way for me to get out of here is to kill you.”

He had already made some guesses earlier, and after saying this, he kept a close eye on Guancheng Chun, using the man’s reaction to confirm his suspicions.

Sure enough, Guancheng Chun was trembling.

This wasn’t surprising. The longer one survived in the post-apocalyptic world, the more one valued life. This was especially true for someone like Guancheng Chun, who held absolute power in his region. He had become extremely attached to his life. He hadn’t had enough of a good life yet.

Faced with a true heavyweight like Ye Zhongming, he would still kneel even if Guancheng Chun had eight legs.

Now that Ye Zhongming understood how to escape, how could Guancheng Chun not be terrified?

”No, please don’t!” Guancheng Chun forced himself to stay calm and waved his hands frantically, afraid that Ye Zhongming might suddenly strike and kill him. He tore a button from his sleeve and respectfully handed it to Ye Zhongming.

“Boss Ye, this is my space equipment with all my results and riches. As long as you don’t kill me, you can have all of this.”

After saying this, he immediately realized that if he died, the equipment would still belong to Ye Zhongming. So, with the speed of a professional comedian, he added, ”Actually, this space is already destabilized. I was randomly sent here. If we just wait a bit, it will disappear on its own, and we’ll all be free.”

”Boss Ye, you know I’m a researcher. If you spare me, I can assist Professor Liu with her experiments. Also, some of the results in my space equipment aren’t fully documented. I’d need to explain them personally.”

Ye Zhongming took the space button and played with it in his hand, smiling faintly. ”Are you threatening me?”

”No, no, I wouldn’t dare! You have the best laboratory in the national region, so you must know how complex experiments can be. Some steps, material processing, chemical reactions, timing, and temperature are all very intricate. Writing everything down in advance is impossible, especially in the post-apocalyptic world. It’s all in my head.”

Hearing this, Ye Zhongming’s expression became more serious. After some thought, he realized this was indeed true.

Although Guancheng Chun’s research direction was dark and bloody, it was still related to the Cloud Peak’s Gene Lab experiments. Perhaps having him there could help Red Sister.

Moreover, with Guancheng Chun’s strength, there were dozens of people at Cloud Peak who could easily kill him. There was no fear of him causing any trouble.

”You’d better be telling the truth.” Ye Zhongming decided to wait and see if the space would indeed disappear on its own. If it didn’t, he could always kill him later.

Those in the monitoring room, especially David, naturally observed these changes. But at this moment, David was too busy to care. His hands were constantly operating the instruments, trying to control the space’s transformations.

Sweat poured down David’s forehead, and his strong body odor made several people step back.

However, it was clear that his attempts weren’t effective. The space was still in chaos.

Gyanendra and Kim Jongyuan, who hadn’t yet entered the smaller space, stood in the corridor and felt dizzy. They could see the changes more clearly since they weren’t inside the space. They watched as the doors to each space kept moving. The door they were supposed to enter had now moved to an unknown location.

They hadn’t noticed it before, but now they realized how many space doors there were.

Kim Jongyuan watched for a while, then turned to Gyanendra and said, ”Do you think we should go in?”

His meaning was clear: he didn’t want to enter. After all, the instability of the space posed too great a risk. What if they were sent into something like a secret realm or, worse, a space rift?

Gyanendra closed his eyes and didn’t answer. The latter frowned, about to ask again when he felt a faint power emanating from the guy beside him. It was as if Gyanendra was searching for something.

Kim Jongyuan fell silent, realizing that Gyanendra was trying to find a solution.

He didn’t keep Kim Jong-won waiting long. At a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and pointed to a door not far away. ”We’ll enter this one.”
