Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 11: Careless

When the golden light broke through the atmosphere and turned the beautiful earth into hell, not only did it bring the virus that caused mutations, it also brought a bunch of merciless killings. It forced a new evolution method and also the hope of living through the Apocalypse Gacha.

All of this hope included the legendary Secret Realm.

Yes, legendary. That was because in his last life, Ye Zhongming had only heard about it but had never seen it.

Secret Realm key and also the Secret Realm that it represented, was something only the strongest few on earth had control of.

In the ten years of the apocalypse, Ye Zhongming who was only six star evolved had only heard of it but he didn’t have the right to take a look.

But that didn’t stop its legend from being brought up time and time again which gave Ye Zhongming a deep impression.

He remembered that someone who had come into contact with it say that the Secret Realm and the dungeons were opposites. The dungeons represented danger, death and terror while the Secret Realm represented hope and life.

From that person, Ye Zhongming found out the way the Secret Realm Key appeared-- Along with a golden light-- descending from the skies.

No one knew how many such Secret Realms there were but one thing was for certain. The key descended to all corners of the earth within today like the one that dropped not far from him.

Facing the Apocalypse Gacha, Ye Zhongming was able to keep calm, but the Secret Realm Key was one that filled him with excitement.

Secret Realm, it was one of the most precious things in the apocalypse! Inside, one could obtain unimaginably strong items and benefits. For Ye Zhongming who had spent 10 years in the apocalypse, that attraction was fatal.

He gave up on wanting to hunt level 1 zombies and wanted to go get that key.

It had just been a few hours since the start of the apocalypse. He had one star evolved strength and there was a huge chance that he could get it.

He judged the distance and it was actually in his school.

Ye Zhongming thought about the number of zombies there and felt a headache. The school region was not like the living district. There weren’t fewer people because people were working. This university had tens of thousands of students living and studying inside. Adding in those who got mutated and infected, there should be close to ten thousand. That place was far more dangerous than Dingsheng Apartments.

But high risk high reward, that was what everyone in the apocalypse lived under. Ye Zhongming was long used to it.

He held the blade in his hands tightly and quickly got up to the second floor. It was not blocked here so he just jumped off onto the grass patch behind the building.

But he ran just a few steps before he heard some sounds from behind. A woman shouted. Ye Zhongming turned and saw that the long-haired girl followed.

Seeing Ye Zhongming look at her, she didn’t care about the pain in her butt and just ran beside him. She said pitifully, “Don’t, don’t leave me.”

In the apocalypse, some women were strong like Mu Xinfei. She was nine star evolved and was one of the strongest. Like Hai Wangxing who was also a woman. Although she was an eight star expert, but she could control ocean monsters to stand at the peak of the world. There was also Ye Linglan, she was really strong and also had the high intellect to control a strong army. Her name in the evolved circle spread far and wide.

But after all, these were just the minority. Due to physical differences, they were in a weak position since the start. That was something that didn’t change. In the apocalypse they were mostly the support of guys and had no dignity or status. Most of them had sad lives. They could only rely on their looks and bodies to exchange for food and water. Some even just saw them as birth tools and apart from that, they weren’t of much use.

In the ten years of the apocalypse, Ye Zhongming was more or less affected by such thinking. Apart from experts like Mu Xinfei, he was used to treating other girls like burdens. They could only bring him danger and problems and not help.

Under such a way of thinking, naturally, his attitude wasn’t too good. But after all, he wasn’t someone who saw life as something insignificant, he wouldn’t kill her just because she would put him in danger. He pointed his blade at her and said solemnly, “You can follow me but I won’t ensure your safety. If you make a sound, I will kill you without hesitation.”

That girl nodded. In just a few hours she saw many people flee or fight back but without a doubt, all of them died. Only this guy killed those disgusting monsters like he was cutting vegetables. If she didn’t follow him to live then who would she follow? He was just asking her to keep quiet, if he even asked her to wash clothes to massage him, she would also do that.

After confirming the direction, Ye Zhongming headed toward his school. It wasn’t too far from the wall of the school and there were only a few hundred meters between them.

Using the night sky, Ye Zhongming started his killing road. He slowed down to not draw attention. When he bumped into lone zombies, he would sneak attack them to dig out their crystals. If he met a huge group of them, he rather go around.

When he was at the edge of the district, he had 11 more demon crystals.

Ye Zhongming turned around and thought that he had lost the woman. After all, he was a one star evolved and his speed and stamina were much stronger than normal people. But surprising was that although she looked like she was struggling but she caught up and was just 50 meters away.

This made Ye Zhongming impressed.

Although it wasn’t far but trying to keep up, was a test of stamina and perseverance. This weak-looking girl actually kept up.

She was probably someone who worked out usually and her mental state was decent. If it was a spoilt girl, she would have long been eaten up.

But Ye Zhongming was only slightly surprised. In the apocalypse, many elite people died in the end. Her current performance was just slightly stronger than normal people's. To continue to live, the chances weren’t huge.

He looked towards the school courtyard and Ye Zhongming couldn’t help but think about Bai Sisi. She should be with Qin Jun. Qin Jun’s parents were rich and would get protection right away.

After tossing out these thoughts, Ye Zhongming jumped over the wall and jumped off right away. This was an empty path behind the canteen and usually, food waste was piled here.

But before he even stepped foot, he heard something smash right at him. His heart sank and knew that he was careless.
