Chapter 25: Weird four person team

The field and the indoor tennis court were separated by a small path and Ye Zhongming had already cleared the zombies here.

He was easily able to get to the door. He looked around. Maybe because there weren’t many people here when the apocalypse started, at least from the outside, it didn’t look different from usual.

Actually, he was a little nervous. He was afraid that the Secret Realm Key didn’t land there. After all, he was hiding in the building nearby in his last life and didn’t notice any weird light.

Dense gun shots could be heard from the south side which caused Ye Zhongming to stop. He saw a red patch in the distance which should be the armed forces headquarters. It seemed like the military forces in the city had managed to organise a resistance.

But his gaze was a little dim. He knew that although in the last life, the country’s military became the most important power, but they didn’t have the ability to change many things. They were only able to save a small group of people. Apart from trying several times within the first year of the apocalypse to fight back against the enemies, they didn’t do any large scale operations after.

That was obvious as the enemies were too strong such that during those ten years, humans were always in a passive state.

He wished them good luck from his heart before he walked into the indoor court.

The light was out so it was pitch black. If he wasn’t a one star evolved, even seeing things would become a problem. When he made it through the hall, he killed two zombies who should be the workers there. Apart from that, he didn’t face any dangers.

The court was split into two floors. The first was for competitions and there was only one court with many audience stands. The facilities were quite advanced and they often organised city-level competitions. The second floor was mostly training areas so there were courts but no audience stands.

The first floor was huge and just one look and one could see the ends. This place was normal and there wasn’t anything off with it.

Ye Zhongming’s heart sank. Since it wasn’t here, that meant that half his hope was gone. He suppressed his sadness and quickly headed up to the second floor.

The second floor was split into three parts. One was the resting and shower area as well as two courts. He followed an anti clockwise direction to begin his search but he got more and more disappointed. Was the key really not here? Did those students and teachers lie to him?

After a short while, he searched the two courts and found nothing.

He was left with the smallest rest region?

Ye Zhongming brought his last bit of hope to walk over. When he was at the door, he dashed behind a barrier as he heard some voices from within.

“We have looked at it for so long, now what? Don’t keep silent.”

That voice was anxious, it was also with... Some complaining.

A few seconds later, another person said, “Now what? Didn’t you say to come here to see what is going on? Now that someone is dead you are asking me what to do?”

That person was obviously annoyed with the first person. But what was going on with the dead person?

Ye Zhongming didn’t move and continued to listen closely.

“Who knew that such a situation would happen? This mad dog actually bit people! Lin Li let me tell you, don’t talk to me with that tone. My brother is the one that died and not yours, you are in no position to scold me.”

“Okay, you two speak less and think of a solution. Should we head in to kill that crazy dog or leave?” The third voice had a thick nasal tone to it and it made one feel uncomfortable.

“Let’s listen to this police officer.” Lin Li mumbled.

Ye Zhongming snuck close and saw that there were four people, three guys and one girl. The three guys all focused on the only girl. From what they had said, she was actually a cop.

Their phones were lit up and they used the torchlight to light up the building. This made it easy for Ye Zhongming to see something that made his heart jump.

In a bath cubicle in front of them was a slight energy fluctuation! One could even see a weird glow from the gaps. Even with the light from the torchlight, one could see the difference in the glow!

Ye Zhongming wasn’t familiar with this energy fluctuation but it was because of that that he guessed that it could be the Secret Realm Key.

After all, he had experienced many things in his past life except for the Secret Realm. n0VelUsb.c0m

But, what did the mad dog they refer to mean? Did someone die?

“Everything that happened today is so weird, that includes this thing. I think we should charge in!”

She took out a pistol, it was actually a cop with a gun.

“Charge in? Mam, are you okay, what about that mad dog?”

Lin Li grumbled, he even took two steps back and it was apparent that he didn’t want to head in.

“Don’t worry, you don’t have to lead. I will head in to kill that mad dog. We were sneak attacked because we weren’t prepared. Now that we are ready, we should be fine.”

The female cop frowned but her tone wasn’t very certain. It was obvious that she didn’t have much confidence too.

Everything that happened today was too weird. There were many monsters outside and after hiding here there was even a crazy dog.

“Then, let’s go.” The person who spoke was the youngest guy who looked around 23. When he heard that someone was leading, he felt bold.

“Wait.”

Ye Zhongming walked out to stop them.

Are you joking, let you go in to get the key? Then I wasted my whole night?

Secret Realm was something more important than a job so he had no reason to miss out on it.

“Who?”

The cop reacted quickly and she turned around before Ye Zhongming finished his sentence. She aimed her gun at Ye Zhongming and her hand was really stable. She locked onto him and it actually made him feel a sense of danger. One could tell that she was well trained!

Ye Zhongming was surprised with her strength and he raised his hands to show that he didn’t mean any harm.

“What is your name? What are you doing? Where is your ID?”

She squinted her eyes and asked coldly. She placed her finger on the trigger. If he moved, she was ready to fire.

The world had changed and there were dangers for everyone so it made her really careful. Moreover, Ye Zhongming was holding a blade and he was covered in blood. Just one look and one felt like he was a dangerous person.

Ye Zhongming pouted, ID? What was the use?

But since the apocalypse had just begun, it was normal that many people had the habits of peacetime.

“I don’t mean bad, I came here to hide. I heard all of you say and was interested in what happened here.” Ye Zhongming said slowly, “As for me, I learned some kungfu so why not I lead? This cop can follow behind and you would have time to react right? What do you all think?”
