Apocalypse Gachapon - C.896: Seven star

Xia Lei was calm as she stood around the fire and was surrounded by cries, but Park Xiuying bit her lips and was lost.

The team didn’t head back to Cloud Peak. Instead, they arced towards it, and there were many small human bases on this arc.

This was one of them.

This was already the fifth base that they had struck. Any evolve that dared to resist would be killed. Those terrified evolved would be held hostage and forced to continue with the party.

Over two thousand people were forced to follow them. They heard that there were over 15 such bases ahead of them.

Usually, Park Xiuying would stop Xia Lei even if she was the most powerful person in Cloud Peak apart from Ye Zhongming.

Although Cloud Peak was similar to others in the apocalypse, where their path to getting strong would be covered in blood, each person, including Park Xiuying, would have killed many.

But they were passive. They killed because their enemies attacked them. Park Xiuying’s mentality had changed, and she didn’t mind that.

But these people didn’t offend Cloud Peak, and they were being destroyed.

This was something she couldn’t accept.

But she didn’t stop her as she knew that Sister Lei was doing so because of Cloud Peak. It was just that her methods were slightly cruel.

Right, Park Xiuying knew that there weren’t any innocent people in the apocalypse. These people might look sad and despairing, but they had sneak-attacked other humans last night. They robbed their corpses.

She remembered the words Xia Lei had told her after they had attacked the first base. Xia Lei told her that if she was her, would she not do the same?

Park Xiuying thought about it for a long time and realized she would make the same choice even if she didn’t want to.

She would choose Cloud Peak’s survival and the death of others.

Since that was the case, she persuaded herself not to hesitate, but she could not calm down. She felt like she was still too soft.

The team quickly swept this base and started moving towards the next. They would arrive in just two hours. But they faced some problems near that base.

A hundred zombies appeared and moved around their path. Xia Lei took a look and ordered the team to rest. She chose a person from these prisoners and left with him.

No one knew what for, but they saw a huge patch of zombie blood when she ordered the team to head forward. It was very gory, and no one knew how she managed to do it.

But everyone knew that it had to do with the person who left with her and didn’t return.

Thus, the team became more silent.

When Ye Zhongming opened his eyes, he saw a giant shadow pounce at him. He reacted and raised his arm to block the figure. He also moved his leg to trip that figure.

Actually, when his hand touched that figure, Ye Zhongming knew who it was. His actions became gentle, and he even tried to protect it.

The giant figure was sent tumbling, but the figure wasn’t disappointed. It ran back. Ye Zhongming didn’t resist this time and allowed it to press on his body. A wet tongue licked his face.

This figure was Yellow Ball, who had evolved a step sooner than Ye Zhongming.

Ye Zhongming looked at the purple crystal and knew this fellow was now a high-level mutated lifeform. Yellow Ball would stand a chance if it didn’t face a nine-star evolution.

Of course, he had a high chance of losing to level eight lifeforms, but he wouldn’t be crushed as severely as before.

On one side, Xia Bai was holding a mask. She smiled when she saw Ye Zhongming awaken.

At least when she was with Ye Zhongming, this woman with a tragic past was no different from an ordinary person.

He pushed Yellow Ball aside and hugged Xia Bai. She wasn’t like a killing goddess and was just a lady. She was even very careful when she hugged him.

“It has been tough on you. How long have I slept?”

“Three days.”

Ye Zhongming looked at the food and knew that Xia Bai had prepared them for him. He sat down and started eating. He had just evolved and was hungry.

The food was still warm. No one knew when he would wake up, so it is evident that Xia Bai would always prepare new food.

Ye Zhongming’s heart felt warm.

After becoming a seven-star evolved, Ye Zhongming sensed considerable changes in his body.

Although there was only a level difference from six-star, like Yellow Ball, seven-star was an advanced lifeform.

Each stage had three evolution levels. Every stage would give massive changes.

Ye Zhongming felt his overall body quality strengthen, and it was by a lot. His senses had also increased. His hearing, smell, sight, taste, and touch all reached a new level.

What shocked Ye Zhongming was that his mental energy increased significantly. One must know that Ye Zhongming’s mental energy was not proportionate to his evolution level, but it was much more. Be it from the brain bug or the Soul Refining Technique; his mental energy amount could compare to a nine-star evolved.

He thought that increasing mental energy would be difficult after the Soul Refining Technique reached a peak. Who knew it would increase so quickly?

Ye Zhongming closed his eyes to sense, and it was 20% more than previously.

As his overall amount was high, this 20% was terrifying.

He ate and stretched his body. He wrestled with Yellow Ball for a while, and after getting used to his body, he had some ideas. 𝘧𝑟𝓮𝓮𝓌𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝑚

Now that his mental energy was so high and the overall amount was so terrifying, should he try things he hadn’t tried before?

Ye Zhongming told Xia Bai to guard the tent so he wouldn’t be disturbed. He took out a weird bone.

This bone was thin and long at the bottom, and when you reached the quarter mark, it started to twist and curl. Under the light, it looked like ivory.

Ye Zhongming was slightly emotional.

This was the bone of a level-nine demon monster!
