Apocalypse Gachapon-Chapter 34: Eat this?

There was an intense pain like his brain was going to explode and his chest felt heavy. Blood seeped out from the corner of his lips like numerous cars had run over him.

Half of his strength disappeared from his body and a sense of weakness took over all his senses.

This was a state of running out of mental energy.

In his last life, Ye Zhongming did overuse his mental energy but marksman and bladesman didn’t use much mental energy so he didn’t feel as bad as he did now.

But he kept calm and knew that he had to hold on. His hand holding the gun was still really stable. He looked at the injured lizard and fired the second gun.

This bullet shot right through its eye and that huge head swelled up. Blood and brain juices shot out from its eyes and ears.

This new gun was as strong as a desert eagle so what was it used for? The design was to break human bodies or kill wild boars. A near shot was strong enough to kill an elephant.

Blood Tongue Lizard was strong and had evolved to level two. Its speed, agility, attack and even the defence of its skin had reached a strong level. But it wasn’t totally without weakness. Its eyes were still glass structured. Under its strong skin and head, its brain was still made up of normal matter.

That shot was enough to kill it.

After killing this lizard, Ye Zhongming didn’t feel any joy at all as another stronger lizard was staring aggressively.

Maybe the death of its friend made it realise the danger it was in. It didn’t attack like previously and retreated to a corner to stare at its opponents. A moment later, it fled out from an open window and disappeared into the darkness.

Ye Zhongming sat on the ground and felt a little fortunate.

Although he didn’t lose all of his strength, but it was still tough for him to go against a Blood Tongue Lizard which was perfectly fine. It was the same even if Mo Ye and Yellow Ball were helping him. In the end, it would just be a tough win. If that occurred, his plans tomorrow would be shelved and the losses would be too huge.

Mo Ye continued to look at the gun. Ye Zhongming’s sudden fall shocked her and she ran over to help him up.

“Go dig out the crystal on that lizard’s head and also collect the tongue and its claws. Then we will leave.”

Ye Zhongming said softly. His forehead was covered in sweat beads and he even found it hard to talk.

Mo Ye didn’t understand but she still took Ye Zhongming’s blade and walked beside the corpse. She followed his instructions to collect the crystals and claws.

She was really close and only then did she realise how terrifying this huge lizard was. Even though she was the police and she was much bolder than normal girls, she still felt numbness in her hair.

This thing looked too terrifying. Moreover, its body was covered in patches of meat that gave her goosebumps.

Mo Ye was a smart girl and she knew that there was a reason why this guy made her do that. She was even guessing that the power would be related to this.

After collecting these materials and placing them in Ye Zhongming’s bag, she helped him up. Yellow Ball followed at the side and all three of them left the tennis court.

“This is your home?”

Ten minutes later, Ye Zhongming opened the door with his key and Mo Ye asked.

Ye Zhongming led the way for them to come to his rented apartment as it was only a street away.

Naturally, this place wouldn’t be too peaceful. But with Yellow Ball and the female cop holding a blade, those zombies weren’t a threat to them at all.

After killing a few zombies, they managed to arrive.

Ye Zhongming drank a mouthful of water and lay on the bed to rest up.

He could only naturally recover his mental energy. Meditating and sleeping was the best method.

“En, it is close to the school.”

.

Mo Ye looked at Ye Zhongming with a complicated expression. It was hard to imagine that such a strong guy was still a student.

Be it Ye Zhongming or Mo Ye, neither had eaten anything properly since the start of the apocalypse. It was already late at night and in a few hours, the sky would light up. They were all hungry. Mo Ye found some bread and the two of them drank some warm water from the thermal flash to fill their stomach.

Eating food naturally sped up the mental energy recovery. Ye Zhongming felt much better. He told Mo Ye to slice apart the wooden stools to start a fire. Then he tossed the lizard tongue to her to barbecue.

“Eat this?”

Mo Ye looked at the tongue and felt repulsed. Hearing that Ye Zhongming said that they were going to eat it, she nearly vomited.

“Aren’t I teaching you how to survive in the apocalypse?” Ye Zhongming closed his eyes and said, “Start eating this.”

“Is there no other food? We have to eat this?”

Mo Ye obviously rejected to eat this so she just stood there. Only Yellow Ball sniffed the tongue and really wanted to eat it. But without orders, it just laid down and looked at it with desire.

Ye Zhongming opened his eyes and looked at the girl in the dark house, “Listen up, I will only say this once.”

“This is the apocalypse, those zombies were humans and now their smell and hearing are very sensitive but their sight is devolving.”

“The lizard that attacked us should be a mutant of the Bengal Lizard, they evolved twice and that is why their crystals are white.”

“Surviving humans can also evolve and the shortcut is the power that I am referring to. Apart from that, eating special parts of these monsters can increase physique and make people stronger.”

“In the apocalypse, these are situations that we have to grasp. Apart from that, you need to learn how to observe and analyse.”

Ye Zhongming paused. Although his body was good but saying so much at once still made him feel a little tired.

“Observe. Since you are well trained, you should be able to understand it. Observe and remember everything that you see.”

Mo Ye opened her mouth. She wanted to say something but didn’t.

Ye Zhongming smiled, “I know you can’t accept this and think that I am talking nonsense. Let me ask you a few questions, if you can answer then I will stop.” ｂ𝚎ｄｎ𝚘ｖ𝚎𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐

“Firstly, why did I leave but then return? Secondly, where did they come from? Thirdly, where are your friends that betrayed you? Fourth, do you think you are safe now?”
