Apocalypse Gachapon

It was from a part of the ruins that hadn’t collapsed. He thought it was just a crack, even with how detailed Ye Zhongming was.

But it was a stone door.

Inside it, a pair of young teens were waving at him.

He hesitated slightly before rushing over. He entered the stone door, and then it closed, turning back into a natural crack.

“How did you get in? Did you survive from the last Feasting Day?”

Ye Zhongming entered, and he was in a wary state. He noticed that there was a tunnel made of many ruins. Nearby was a place that curved so he couldn’t see too far. The sky was dark outside, so it was pitch black within.

But with his sensory ability, he knew the tunnel was safe and there were no dangers.

As for the people behind him, even if he wasn’t in a good state, they weren’t a threat to him. This was why he dared to enter.

The pair of them were only three-star evolved.

When he heard the younger girl ask him that question, he was able to grasp a few problems.

First, there were people alive in Linhai City. Moreover, they knew those mysterious plants locked the city, so outsiders couldn’t head in.

This lockdown was relative. There would be a Feasting Day where people could enter. But he didn’t know if people could get out.

Seeing that Ye Zhongming didn’t reply, they used the slight light to look at each other. The guy said, “Let’s get to know each other. I am Yang Yixi; this is my girlfriend, Mao Ying. We came here during the second feasting day and had been trapped since. We are both three-star evolved.”

The footsteps got near. Yang Yixi gave Ye Zhongming a shushing handsign before pointing at the tunnel. His girlfriend and he led the way.The most update n0vels are published on ɴovᴇlꜰɪre.ɴet

This stunned Ye Zhongming. Did they turn their backs on a stranger? What if they met a bad person?

Although he didn’t know which Feasting Day had passed, he knew they had some news. He decided to move with them.

The tunnel was of different sizes at different intervals, and there were some areas where the three of them could walk side by side while others had to bend and walk.

After a few hundred meters, Ye Zhongming saw that the tunnel had reached the middle of a well. There was a rope. Yang Yixi lit a match. He looked at the well and then down below. He didn’t notice anything unusual. He said to Ye Zhongming, “Follow me, we are nearly there.”

He went down the rope, and Ye Zhongming was still the last to do so.

As they got deeper, the surroundings became pitch black, and they could see nothing. Even if Ye Zhongming was a six-star evolved, he could only see a few centimeters ahead.

But he noticed that they were far deeper than the well. The place they were at was dug.

He estimated that they were nearly 200 meters down!

Finally, the two of them slowed, and the rope swung. Yang Yixi jumped to the side.

When Ye Zhongming landed on the ground, there were torches. He saw a long path lit up by lamps every dozen meters.

“The entrance to our camp is up ahead.” Yang Yixi pointed.

Using the light, Ye Zhongming noticed that the two of them were good-looking, but their bodies lacked the gory smell of apocalypse survivors. They were more like peacetime people.

Was there no fighting and killing here? If not, how did they maintain such an aura?

Very quickly, he saw the camp that Yang Yixi mentioned. They passed a gate guarded by a team, and the three of them entered a bomb shelter.

“The people here mostly came from the second and third Feasting Days. The longest has spent more than half a year here. The shortest is around five months. You are the first outsider that we have led in.”

Ye Zhongming listened carefully. Yang Yixi had a good attitude and a rare smile on his face.

“Oh, that is where Mao Ying and I live.”

Yang Yixi pointed at a house made of wooden boards. He opened the door and asked Ye Zhongming to enter.

It was simple and a little humid. There was also a slight ocean smell due to the bomb shelter.

“Drink some water.”

Yang Yixi passed him a cup, and there was a layer… Two mouthfuls of water. Moreover, Ye Zhongming used the candle and saw that the water was murky.

“That, this is all we have.” He smiled awkwardly, “You saw the situation outside. It is the world of those tree zombies, and it is tough to find water. There is underground water, but they are contaminated. We only have one purifier, so it can’t purify much. The quality of which is what you see in your hands.”

Ye Zhongming’s eyes twitched, and he asked, “Tree zombie?”

“En.” Mao Ying replied. She tried to gesture how those zombies looked: "They are puppets controlled by the Death King Tree. You came from outside, right? You probably don’t know about it. Not many have seen its true look, but it looks similar to the branches from the portion it showed. It would control those dried corpses, so everyone called it Death King Tree.”

“The tree zombies are zombies, mutated animals, humans. After the tree captured them, it sucked their energy and planted its seeds, turning them into the tree zombies that you see. They would often be left in the nest and only head out at night to search for survivors or mutated lifeforms.”

Ye Zhongming’s expression didn’t change, but deep down, he was shocked.

This was the first time he heard of Death King Tree and tree zombies. As well as the weird controlling methods.

“Can you tell me in detail?” Ye Zhongming touched his pocket, and a silver Russian Wine Flash appeared. It had only a few ounces of storage. It wasn’t wine inside but an energy drink from the wheel that helped to recover one’s body. Two mouths were enough to provide three-star evolved with two hours of energy.
