Chapter 70: News exposed
The appearance of the Chain Prisoner caused everyone to stop in shock. All lifeforms be it monsters or humans looked at it like they were looking at a mountain and they felt the depths of their souls shake.
Ye Zhongming bit his teeth and gave up on his impractical thought.
The Chained Prisoner was covered in treasures. If he managed to get a single one, he would be able to use it for a long time. However, high rewards come with high risk. To fight a level four monster at one star evolved stage, was not a wise decision.
Ye Zhongming could rely on his job advantage and understanding of the apocalypse to kill a level two monster but a level four one... Forget it.
Ye Zhongming turned his gaze to those Purple Cloud Ants that were near to him.
As he had seen the Chain Prisoner in his last life, he was the first to wake up from the pressure which gave him a great chance. He attacked, jumping in the middle of these ants. His Moon Edge slashed the air of the dusk and sliced through the bodies of these ants.
Even the Blade Ants who were known for their strong defence couldn’t stop the blade at all. These ants that were in charge of protection were killed right away.
Without the protection of the Blade Ants, the Mage Ants and Needle Ants who were still in their weak state were like sheep waiting to be slaughtered... Even though he only had one usable hand it was still the same.
He dug the demon crystals and slice the sharp tips of the Blade Ants before he charged into the shop where the horn sounded from. The Monster Baby was within.
At this time, Chain Prisoner had started to walk forwards. It crossed dozens of meters right away, crossing the lake to the streets and trampling on several pavilions.
Ye Zhongming felt a shadow flicker past him and the surroundings shake as the Chain Prisoner stepped across his head. The pressure felt like a mountain was pressing down on him.
But he knew that he was safe for the moment.
The Monster Baby summoned these monsters to protect it. Although it didn’t have control over high level monsters but these monsters wouldn’t hurt it either way.
Ye Zhongming was already outside the shop so he was not afraid that the Chain Prisoner would step on him.
The shop was in a total mess. There was a thick blood stench and there were a couple of corpses around. All of this showed that there was an intense battle here.
Ye Zhongming noticed that there was something weird. His connection with the two girls was gone. Park Xiuying still had some static noises but Liang Chuyin switched off the walkie-talkie.
A bad feeling entered his mind.
He tried to calm himself down as he knew that his main goal was the Monster Baby. If he grabbed its bag then everything was worth it.
The candy shop was split into the front and back. The front was for sales and the back was the rest area. The corpses were all in the front. From where they fell and where the blood spurted, Ye Zhongming deduced that the battle started from the door and stretched to the resting area.
As he might need to fight right away, he moved his right hand. His evolved physique meant that his right hand had recovered slightly but it was not perfectly fine so he probably couldn’t use it as of yet.
He snuck to the resting area and before he opened it, he heard a loud sound like something was broken through. After which was a series of weird noises.
Ye Zhongming’s heart jumped when he heard that sound. It was the special cry of the Monster Baby, it was not far from him!
He charged in and saw that several people were stumbling forward. They heard the footsteps and when they saw that it was a stranger, they got wary.
Ye Zhongming’s pupils constricted as these people all had guns!
Although they were just normal guns but in a small space they were really threatening.
“Who are you? If you have nothing then just leave.”
They turned their guns and their faces were really fierce.
If this was a little longer into the apocalypse, these people would have fired right away. But since the apocalypse had just begun, they didn’t kill people so swiftly and freely yet.
Ye Zhongming didn’t have time to waste with them. The Monster Baby had escaped from the back and he couldn’t waste any more time here.
He knocked them out and kept their guns.
Military guns!
The moment he touched one he knew that these were standard issues. Seemed like that captain really invested a lot into this operation.
There was a huge hole in the toilet behind the resting room which Ye Zhongming took to get to the back alley. The Chain Prisoner was waving its tree truck, knocking aside the zombies and mutated beings that were in its way. n0VElusb.c0M
Ye Zhongming looked at the end of the alley. The Monster Baby carrying a golden bag was riding a Purple Cloud Ant. Not far behind it were four people with guns that were aiming at it.
A gun fired and blood spurted from its shoulder. One shot hit it! But using that space, the Purple Cloud Ant and also disappeared into the back alley.
“Captain Ye requests for assistance. I noticed something holding a golden bag. It took out a potion to throw at us, it is actually an evolution potion! That fellow should be the biggest target today! Its bag contains good things!”
Li Shujun shouted at the walkie-talkie. After that battle, he knew that he couldn’t deal with those few ants. He gave up on taking those treasures for himself and finally told Captain Ye the news.s
Ye Zhongming knew right away that the secret wouldn’t be kept for long. Everyone who were here would know about it so he had to get the bag before anyone did.
Ye Zhongming stopped hesitating and charged toward where the Monster Baby disappeared to. Li Shujun and the others noticed that he wasn’t on their side and wanted to fire at him. They were much more decisive than those in the shop.
But the person that they faced was Ye Zhongming. He side stepped and caused their aim to miss, losing the chance to fire. He charged into the group of them, using the shield to block one of their barrels before elbowing another aside. He then slashed another person which caused him to use his gun to block. The sharp Moon Edge sliced his gun right into two.
Although he lost his weapon, but that action saved his life. He retreated in cold sweat, sticking right on the wall of the alley and making way for Ye Zhongming.
Li Shujun was at the front and now after turning around, he was the last person. He felt his eyes light up and the guy just appeared beside him.
After all, he was an evolved so he knew that it was too late to fire. He charged and knocked that person.
With his one star evolved body, he didn’t believe that the person would be stronger than him.
But Ye Zhongming side stepped knowing that he would knock into him. He smashed the shield onto the side of Li Shujun, using that strength to kick into the wall and run into the distance.
“Thanks for the help!”
That was all he said before he continued chasing the Monster Baby. The four of them couldn’t stop him at all.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
Explosions could be heard from behind them. Li Shujun suppressed the pain in his ribs to turn his head. He saw the soldier that gave him huge pressure Wang Dingzheng and seven others who appeared on a roof. They had RPGs and were attacking that 50 meter giant!
“Why are you hitting it?” Li Shujun was anxious and he shouted into the walkie-talkie!
“Captian Ye don’t hit it, don’t hit it! The treasure is here, if you don’t go someone will steal it!”
