Chapter 2: Level 1 Gachapon  

There wasn’t much time. Ye Zhongming called a cab before rushing to the car rental. He maxed out his card to get an old pickup truck before finding a relative at the bank to withdraw all his money. He then headed to the hospital to buy a huge amount of heparin and also other essential medicine and devices. Just this alone took 70 thousand. When others looked at Ye Zhongming carrying two big bags, they felt like this person was sick in the head.

Indeed, it would save a lot of money if he went to the pharmacy but Ye Zhongming didn’t care. The medicine at the hospital was expensive but at least they were real. Moreover, dozens of minutes later, the pieces of paper that were beautifully created would become worthless.

After tossing them into the car, Ye Zhongming started to consider what weapons to get. Guns were definitely a no since the country controlled them very strictly so he could only get blades.

Actually, if there was enough time, Ye Zhongming would get some materials to make some traps. This was a part of the experience that he had accumulated for ten years. But there were only 20 minutes from the start of the apocalypse.

No choice, Ye Zhongming could only go to a famous hunting shop and he spent huge money to buy the boss’s collected blade. He also bought a bunch of adventurer gear. When the boss saw Ye Zhongming leave, he was so delighted that he couldn’t even close his mouth. This money was enough to buy ten such blades.

After buying them all, Ye Zhongming looked at the watch, 16:32, 8 minutes to the start. After hanging up on Bai Sisi’s call, he didn’t hesitate to use the drifting skills he trained for after ten years to get across several red lights. After many people cursed at him, he just used five minutes to arrive at the luxurious apartments beside the school.

In the city, Dingcheng Apartments was a very high-class district. Behind seven-story buildings were ten elegant villas. It also had a garden and an underground car park and there were all sorts of facilities there.

But Ye Zhongming didn’t come here because of the environment but because there weren’t as many people here as compared to the center, there were many living resources here too. More importantly, on the first floor was where the level 1 Gachapon would appear.

Exchange Gachapon, also called the Apocalypse Gachapon was a shining spinning wheel system. It was the only way humans could live in the apocalypse. People could exchange for food, water, clothing, weapons, tools, machines, skills, bloodline etc things.

One could say that because of it, humans were able to survive in the cracks of zombies, monsters and mutants.

In his last life, Ye Zhongming was only able to survive after exchanging many things with the gachapon. He also obtained a decent skill and became a Six Star Evolved, this level was already considered quite strong.

Unfortunately, he was sneak attacked by a mutated bug and died in a really sad manner.

Ye Zhongming pouted and didn’t care about the security guards in the small district. He smashed the barricade and entered the small district. He used his memory to find that building that now looked like a very new apartment.

“Damn, stop there! Damn, a pickup truck.” Three security guards chased. They held rubber rods and sat on an electric car. They chased his pickup while cursing.

After being used to watching luxury cars worth millions come in and out, they really weren’t afraid of people driving pickups. If a rolls royce did that, they wouldn’t dare to say anything. At most, they would ask him why and even smile and bend down.

Ye Zhongming got off and saw the panting guards. He looked at his watch and laid in the car. When they ran over, he calmly pointed at the sky. The three of them raised their heads and looked up but it was sunny and clear.

“Damn, he is crazy!”

The head guard was fat and when he saw Ye Zhongming’s shirt, he was more certain he wasn’t an important person. He raised the rod and wanted to smash it down.

But a sudden explosion shocked him. He raised his head once more and was stunned.

A giant mushroom cloud rose into the sky along with the explosion. A giant spaceship that would only appear in sci-fi movies appeared and numerous rays were shot down. It caused those spirit-shocking explosions that they had heard.

Ye Zhongming squinted his eyes and saw that golden ship that was flying in the black clouds.

He recognised those ships. One of the ten rewards of the level 9 gachapon. It had a nice name, Golden Saint, it was one of the strongest pieces of equipment.

The question that he had in his mind before his revival appeared once more. What was the reason for this calamity? Who did it? Was it another civilization in the universe? Or another race who had suffered from such an attack but had grown stronger from it?

He didn’t have an answer even when he was alive.

That was because even after ten years, no human was strong enough to walk out of the earth to find answers.

Since he couldn’t head out, then there was no way to find the answer.

At this moment, when he saw that arrogant Golden Saint Warship, Ye Zhongming had an urge.

He wanted to know who it was that created the apocalypse!

Who turned the beautiful planet into hell?

Who brought away those brothers and lovers that fought by his side?

To make him suffer from ten years of torture! And moreover, he might get tortured once more!

He pointed a middle finger at the ship and shouted. He picked up what he prepared and ran to the place in his memories. The three security guards looked into the sky and their minds were blank.

Ye Zhongming knew that this attack wouldn’t last for too long. Five minutes later, it would end. Those ships that turned Earth into the apocalypse would disappear and never appear again.

But five minutes later, a fatal poison would appear in the sky. People who weren’t immune to it would mutate and turn into the zombies that one sees in the movies. Monsters would also mutate and become really strong and dangerous. Tens of thousands of areas would appear and many mutants and monsters would walk out from there. It would send the reduced number of humans into true despair.

At the same time, the gachapons would appear. They would be scattered without patterns across the world. On each, they would be split into ten regions and each represented one thing. Activate it and spin it, whichever region the needle points to would grant one the reward that appeared under it,

Of course, one couldn’t just randomly spin the gachapon. Under it would be many holes of various colors. Only by filling them would one get a chance to spin them.

Those items to fill the hole was called demon crystals.

The source of them was the humans that turned into zombies, the animals that turned into beasts and all those mutants and monsters that walked out from the dungeons.

At the center of their heads was a demonic crystal. Different colors represented different levels and strength.

Thus in the apocalypse, humans would spend each moment killing these beings.

Many memories about the apocalypse and information about it flashed in Ye Zhongming’s head but it didn’t stop his footsteps from continuing forwards. Since he found the villa where that level 1 gachapon appeared, he didn’t hesitate. He jumped over and charged to the door. He kicked the wooden door that looked really exquisite and gave off a special scent.

His leg felt a little sore and he knew that it was because it wasn’t evolved yet. But since he did some training, his body was quite decent and could be seen by the fact that he managed to kick it open.

The hall was shining gold and one could tell that the owner was rich but his taste was… This luxurious style was not something that Ye Zhongming was used to.

“Who are you? Get out or I will call the police!”

On the spiral staircase, a long-haired girl around 20 with pink pajamas was surprised. Maybe because of what happened, she didn’t button her pajamas properly. As she moved down, her chest and legs could be seen which made Ye ZHongming stop for a while.

She was shocked. When she was sleeping she heard a loud explosion and before she saw what happened, she heard the sound of her door being broken into. She rushed down and saw Ye Zhongming carrying a lot of stuff.

One had to admit that Ye Zhongming’s looks made him seem like a nice person and no bad guy would carry so many bags when they were doing something bad. This was the reason why she wasn’t afraid. But when she saw Ye Zhongming looking at her body, disdain flashed across her eyes.

Men were all the same, they all thought with their lower bodies!

Ye Zhongming retracted his gaze. He was indeed attracted by her body but more importantly, he was confirming how dangerous she was.

This was something he was used to doing for over ten years.

After confirming that even her underwear didn’t have a weapon, Ye Zhongming tossed the bags onto the sofa and found the kitchen.

A gentle light shone from within.

That was the sign that the gachapon was about to appear.

Ye Zhongming smiled. Although he was confused about why he revived but it became the truth so he would face it head on. This was the thinking method that life had given him over the past ten years.

Moreover, he sensed that this was a huge opportunity-- He had many apocalypse memories and experiences. If he turned them into action, then wouldn’t he become a legendary figure?

Ye Zhongming even had a deep wish. Would he, be able to solve this riddle?
