Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 14: Jump off

“Crack.”

While moving, Ye Zhongming switched out another full ammo case and replaced the one that had already shot out five bullets.

This was a habit that he had formed after so many years.

The long haired girl’s face was ashen white because the willow tree in her hands was giving off a stench that stimulated her weak mind.

The two corpses that the roots used as nutrients were dragged over after the tree whipped them to death so it left some flesh and blood on the branch.

After mutating, the branch became soft but firm and the leaves were as sharp as a blade. While running, a few leaves even sliced her tender skin but she didn’t dare to make a sound. She was afraid that the guy would abandoned her. Apart from her becoming food for the zombies, there wouldn’t be any other outcome.

Ye Zhongming wrapped around the canteen and entered the outdoor gym area to get out of the encirclement.

This was due to his experience and judgement. If it was someone else, they would probably get trapped by the zombies.

Ye Zhongming hid at the corner of the building and confirmed the direction. He only saw the key descend when he was at the apartments but it was blocked after it reached a certain height such that Ye Zhongming couldn’t accurately pinpoint which area it was at.

This made him anxious. After all, the key wasn’t a zombie and didn’t threaten humans. If others got it first, that was something he didn’t want to accept.

A noise interrupted his thoughts and he saw that at a four story building, there was someone climbing outside with a rope. That rope was lightly short and only reached the second floor. This forced that person to jump down.

At first, it was okay and everything was going smoothly. But when one student was preparing to jump, the window shattered and a few gray hands from the zombies stretched out. While that student fell down, he instinctively cried out.

Without a doubt, the screams were like a bright lamp at night for the zombies who had good hearing and smell. All the zombies headed over and were roaring like beasts.

In the night sky, their red eyes represented death and their roars gave giant pressure so that those escaping students totally collapsed. Some on the 4th floor wanted to head back but some wanted to flee so they were stuck at the window.

Some of the students on the rope even jumped down right away but they were mostly on the 3rd or 4th floor so when they fell, they hit the concrete. Even if they didn’t die they would break bones. They cried out and they were indeed the most pitiful group.

As for those who had reached the floor, all of them ran towards Ye Zhongming.

Damn!

Ye Zhongming cursed. He didn’t understand why he always bumped into such situations. That long haired girl was like this, and these students too. Was he marked after he revived? If not why were they always running toward him?

He was sure that these students were heading towards him as they were already waving and shouting at him to save their lives and help him.

Ye Zhongming wanted to leave, he didn’t feel a need to help this group of people who would just panic and abandon their friends.

But when he saw them flee out of the window, he linked it back to the angle of that light, he changed his mind.

If they were at the window, they should know where the key was!

“Wait here.”

After instructing the girl, Ye Zhongming held his blade and walked forwards.

Seeing someone walk over, those seven students were delighted. But when they saw only one person, the hope turned into pain and shock and they were even complaining.

Why was there only one person? What could one person do!?

“Head to that corner!”

Ye Zhongming didn’t even look at them and just said that before heading toward the zombies.

In comparison, these zombies weren’t a threat to Ye Zhongming. He was just afraid of many zombies grouped up together.

Ye Zhongming held his blade and although it was a little tattered but after a few battles, it was very fitting. He even felt that it was light since he turned into a one star evolved.

The zombies noticed that someone was running toward them and started getting excited. However, what they got was the blade light of death.

Ye Zhongming had six times the physique of normal humans so his speed was extremely quick such that the zombies couldn’t touch him. He was really strong and his blade was really precise. Each zombie had its head sliced with one blade. The difference was the way they died. Some were hit in their eye sockets, some had their necks sliced off, some had their temples pierced into…

When they ran to the position that Ye Zhongming said, they saw a familiar long haired beauty. They turned around. They weren’t concerned about her and were just looking at the danger and the distance between them.

But what they saw shocked them. That guy who should be eaten up by the zombies not only didn’t die, he even killed those zombies as easily as one were killing chicken. In just that short moment, over ten of them died to him!

“How is that possible!?”

A student who was covered in sweat muttered. He didn’t dare to believe everything he saw.

Although the apocalypse had just descended a few hours ago, but to most people, those few hours were as long as a few centuries. They witnessed the process of humans falling from the top of the food chain. At the same time, the human adapting ability made them realise one theory- they became food. Those monsters that their friends turned into, were now the hunters.

But now, their recognition was totally changed. That was something they couldn’t accept.

Of course, what they couldn’t accept was that it wasn’t them who could do all that.

Ye Zhongming sliced off the head of one of them and noticed that he was over ten meters from the closest one. He turned around and also dug out the demon crystals off the heads of those he had killed along the way.

He ran back to the few of them and asked, “There was a light from above, who saw where it landed at?”
