Chapter 7: Mutated bedbugs
Looking at how the nine star expert in his last life was helping him mix medicine, Ye Zhongming was a little satisfied.
In the last life, surviving humans researched the rewards of the gachapon.
Towards the gachapon itself, there was nothing humans could do. There was no order and the wheel itself was firm so even nine star experts couldn’t break it.
But towards the wards of the wheel, especially the potions that could strengthen humans, they understood a lot. After five years, humans could create three star and below potions and even change some recipes to increase their effects.
The reason why Ye Zhongming bought so many medicines was that he obtained the recipes. These medicines were needed for the recipes.
Of course, with his current conditions, he couldn’t create them alone. He could only improve the current strengthening potions and the effect was 10% stronger than the rewards from the wheel.
Don’t look down on this 10%, this meant that when you became a one star expert, the effect would be stronger than others by 10%. This 10% could decide the outcome of a battle.
Moreover, this didn’t take into account the difference when one evolved once more.
So in the last life, when the improved recipe was invented, many organisations nurtured a new batch of evolved humans. These people were much stronger than those in the same grade. Some even were able to challenge those one star above them after entering five star grade. That caused a huge commotion at the time. Until Ye Zhongming died, because the recipe was stuck in the hands of a few, the improved potions became a fixed trade that many organisations used to earn money.
Ye Zhongming’s team earned an important source of income by selling these potions. This was the reason he knew about the recipe.
Mu Xinfei wore the mask and sometimes cried out. She mixed the medicine carefully and controlled the temperature well. She mixed the liquid into the one star strengthening potion.
That damn guy said that the hand must be steady and must control the temperature well. She must also complete it within time or it would explode. The strength wasn’t huge but was enough to disfigure someone.
Thus, Mu Xinfei was really serious, more serious than when she took her exams.
Until everything was completed, this green one star potion became pure blue. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
“Oi!” The future nine star expert wanted to ask for praise from that annoying guy but noticed that he was using a wooden board to secure a window. She looked and that board was actually her purple sandalwood chair.
Damn, that furniture caused a few hundred thousand!
But when she looked back at his face, that guy who didn’t even blink when he killed was really serious. One could even see the sweat on his forehead.
Mu Xinfei realised that something wasn't right and she swallowed the words she was thinking about.
“What?” Mu Xinfei asked.
Ye Zhongming sealed up the gaps and said, “Bugs.” Bugs? Mu Xinfei didn’t understand but when she looked along Ye Zhongming’s gaze, she saw that a ball of black things was squirming under a stone. Mu Xinfei saw that the black bugs were the size of rats, moreover… They looked like bed bugs.
But bed bugs were at most the size of a fingernail, how were they now like rats?
At this time, there was an explosion at the seven story apartment nearby. The ground shook and the windows shattered. There were also flames and people crying.
Maybe because they were shocked by the explosion, the bugs panicked and started to scatter to reveal the stone under them.
“Ah!”
Mu Xinfei exclaimed because she saw that it wasn’t a stone but a human!
A bloodied and disfigured person whose bones were eaten clean of all its flesh!
These bed bugs were actually eating people!
“Shut up!”
Ye Zhongming looked in anger and nearly went to cover her mouth.
He was a warrior that was living a second life so naturally, he knew what they were. He just didn’t expect them to evolve so quickly.
Like humans turning into zombies from the virus, the plants and animals all changed. Trees became really dangerous and all the bugs and animals became bloodthirsty. In the apocalypse, those plants could fight against the alien monsters! Many times, humans seemed really weak in front of these mutated plants.
These bed bugs evolved from small bed bugs. Not only were they huge, but their food source also changed and they became really bloodthirsty. After a while, they would become more terrifying. After ten years, the bugs looked totally different and their bodies would become the size of tigers. They also had scary abilities. If one wasn’t four-star, one had to stay far away. If one met a group of them, even a six-star expert like Ye Zhongming had to flee.
“Why are you so fierce…” She was shocked and headed back in fear. Whoever saw these huge bed bugs would be afraid right, that was a normal reaction.
But she didn’t have confidence when she said that as she saw that the bugs turned in their direction. Those round huge eyes showed their bloodthirst and were staring right at them.
Moreover, before they could react, dozens of them pounced at the villa. It was obvious that the attraction of two new bodies was far above that of the corpse that they had already consumed!
