Chapter 5: First spin  

The sudden arrival of the apocalypse caused the calm and quiet Dingsheng Apartments to become really noisy. But Ye Zhongming knew that the price for all the noise was fresh blood and human life.

“Ah!”

A scream spread out from the villa on the side. Zhongming didn’t look right away and just dashed into the bushes. He swept and saw a naked woman covered in blood run out. Her slightly old face was filled with terror and she was shouting jibberish. Her snow white body was covered in fresh blood, the two contrasting looks formed a strong visual impact.

But as compared to her well-maintained skin and body, her stamina was not too good. Along with the fright, she stumbled on the ground and tried to get up but she was pressed down by two zombies. She cried out and her flesh was ripped apart. Her intestines were ripped out and she became their food.

Such a gory scene didn’t affect Ye Zhongming at all. He calmly observed the surroundings and he charged out. In a breath, he slashed at the eating zombies to slice off one of their heads. Its neck spurted out black blood.

The other zombie noticed that things weren’t right and he stood up while biting on an intestine. Its sharp fingernails grabbed at Ye Zhongming.

Ye Zhongming retracted his blade and sidestepped to dodge the claws before slicing the blade at its temple. “Puchi” and its head was sliced into.

This attack lasted only for a few seconds but Ye Zhongming felt tired. From the time he ran behind the zombie to slicing and dodging, it only took a few moments. Moreover, his movements were really precise. If it was someone else, one couldn’t find the gap between the bones in the neck and the blade might end up being stuck there.

This was what gave Ye Zhongming riches and the chance to live in those ten years of apocalypse life.

After digging out the crystals, the woman that was still alive looked at Ye Zhongming and smiled with gratitude. Since she was going to die, she rather looks at another human and dies than look at the smelly saliva of the zombies.

Ye Zhongming prayed for her before hiding in a corner of the villa. He was waiting for her to mutate.

As long as the brain of a human didn’t get eaten, they would mutate. Even if only the head was left. This was what was terrifying about the zombies. Even a zombie with just one head, as long as it had enough fresh blood, they could grow out a body in a short period of time!

Before reviving, this proven theory made many people tongue-tied. As this woman was already dead, so she mutated very quickly. It took just a minute. Her closed eyes suddenly opened up and her four limbs started to twitch. The demon crystal squeezed out of her forehead and a few seconds later, she stood up and became a new zombie. She was the same as the two disgusting monsters that she hated.

Ye Zhongming naturally wouldn’t give her such a chance. He ended her life and took out the grey crystal.

In just an hour, he completed something he took hundreds of days to do previously, obtaining 6 level 1 crystals.

Being motivated by such rewards, adrenaline-filled Ye Zhongming. He continued to move in and out and in just two hours, he had 21 level 1 demon crystals.

He gained a lot but there were many dangerous situations. A normal person’s body and ten years of experience didn’t match up. This made Ye Zhongming slip up and nearly die in the mouths of the zombies. He wasn’t one star yet and didn’t use the immunity potion. As long as they scratched him, he would turn. This made him really nervous and he used up a lot of stamina.

When he returned to the villa, he was exhausted.

When he walked in, Mu Xinfei was sitting there and she was still holding the fruit knife.

Ye Zhongming’s entrance shocked her and she lifted her head. After a few seconds, she recovered and jumped in front of Ye Zhongming.

Of course, such speed caused her unkempt pajamas to cover fewer areas. A patch of white was revealed and it made Ye Zhongming a little dizzy.

“You definitely know, can you tell me? I won’t be afraid and can help you. As long as you teach me that… It should be kungfu right?”

Mu Xingfei pointed at the three corpses, she thought that Ye Zhongming could kill them so cleanly because he knew kungfu.

Ye Zhongming stumbled, “I can tell you some things and can even make you stronger than guys. But I need you to do some things.”

She asked warily, “What things?”

Ye Zhongming was stunned but understood what that meant. She stared evilly at her sexy body and acted like he was a pervert. After seeing her retreat in fear he laughed, “Don’t worry, it is not what you think.”

He walked into the kitchen right after.

When Mu Xinfei heard that, she heaved a sigh of relief and then frowned. She lowered her gaze at her body that could even charm herself and pouted towards Ye Zhongming’s back before saying something. Ignorant!

Ye Zhongming placed seven crystals into the whole and the water droplet crystal lit up. Energy spread across the wheel and those seven level 1 demon crystals flashed before disappearing. The red needle moved and spun past the regions which represented different rewards.

While he waited nervously, Ye Zhongming hoped that he could get the level 1 strengthening potion which would make him instantly stronger. Then he would be much more efficient. This was very important to his goal of getting stronger.

But dreams were often perfect. When it stopped, it was on the crossbow.

Below the wheel was a reward box. It lit up and a black crossbow appeared.

“Successive fire crossbow.”

This was the name of the crossbow and it was exquisitely designed. There were ten 15 centimeter long metal arrows. If one clicked the trigger, one could fire one at once and one could shoot many at a time.

Although he didn’t get the one star potion but this was a decent weapon. Although he was disappointed he didn’t care.

“So that is how you use this!”

Mu Xinfei’s eyes lit up and her face was filled with disbelief and excitement. She looked at the crossbow in Ye Zhongming’s hands and at the pictures on the wheel, “The thing that you say can make me stronger than man is the green potion?”

“You are smart.”

Ye Zhongming fiddled with the crossbow to adapt to its strength and feel of it.

“This is the Apocalypse Gachapon, you can use the demon crystals on the head of the zombies to spin the wheel. This is the apocalypse and these rewards are what we use to survive. It is that simple.”

“Then how did you know that?”

“Secret.”

“You!”

Ye Zhongming didn’t know what Mu Xinfei was like to become a nine star expert in his previous life, but at least now, she was a normal woman.

She was direct, smart, and a little cunning but also a bit stupid.

He tossed her figure out of his mind before putting in seven more level 1 demon crystals.
