Chapter 85: Power of greed
“Wang Zhen don’t be shameless. You know the price of a one star evolution potion outside. Two groups even fought to their deaths because of one and a few dozen died. There is a limit to greed.” n0velUSB.c0m
Liang Chuyin frowned and stared at this middle aged man. She really wanted to punch him.
“Chief Wang, I think that it is fair. We used our lives to get the immunity potion and evolution potion.” Mo Ye was angry when she saw the situation and she frowned.
Wang Zhen held his gun, “I don’t think your lives are worth only that!”
A cold gaze flashed in Ye Zhongming’s eyes. When he raised his head, he took out a monster egg wrapped in a Ziploc bag.
“This is the egg of a monster called Ape Turtle, it is a level two lifeform. After you eat it for the first time, although it is not as effective as a one star evolution potion but it can increase your body’s strength to around double that of a normal human.”
The egg’s appearance shocked Wang Zhen and the others. This thing was good. There was only one immunity potion and one one star evolution potion so it was not enough to split among them. This egg could allow many people to increase their strength so its overall value was higher.
“Is it useful on evolved people?” Wang Zhen asked.
“Yes, it is more effective if a one star evolved ate it. But if one is two star then the effect is much less.”
“I want it!” Wang Zhen touched his bald head while his other hand held his gun. He even lifted the barrel.
“But, not enough!”
Wang Zhen pointed at Ye Zhongming, “Little brother, I know that you are very strong. You brought these women and could also live so well. You can make Wang Ding so angry so I respect you! How are you worth so little? Once you have recovered won’t it be easy for you to get good things? Now pay a little more to get more in the future. That is something I have learned in my life, I shall teach it to you for free!”
Ye Zhongming shook his head, “Then I can give you the card, that should be enough.”
Everyone looked towards Cheng Ze’s face and then at the card in his hands.
Wang Zhen and Cheng Ze’s expressions changed.
Wang Zhen wanted the card? Of course he did but he had spent so long in the unit so he obviously knew that Cheng Ze was not giving it up.
Honestly, if it wasn’t for Cheng Ze not being in the same group as Mo Ye which caused Little Tiger to be neutral, if not Wang Zhen wouldn’t dare to face them. If you include Liang Chuyin and Park Xiuying, he would have no advantage at all.
But because of Cheng Ze’s selfishness, Wang Zhen felt more confident.
Cheng Ze didn’t expect Ye Zhongming to say that. His heart sank. The young man’s simple words caused all the problems to turn back to Wang Zhen and himself.
If he had a normal thing in his hands, Wang Zhen wouldn’t have cared but he had a magical summoning card. Could Wang Zhen give it up? Even if Wang Zhen didn’t say anything, he wouldn’t allow him to keep the card to himself.
Thinking about that, Cheng Ze tensed up. Although he only had a few bullets left, but his 20-year career still caused him to give off a dangerous aura.
“Don’t force me to use it!”
One sentence caused Wang Zhen to back off.
He wasn’t afraid of the monster summoned but he knew that once used, the card would have no value. If it was used then the conflict would be gone. He wouldn’t be so foolish to battle Cheng Ze.
“Kid I didn’t expect you to be so smart.” Wang Zhen laughed and then he shouted, “But this is so small. Now, toss out your bag, the box and the black metal if not I will kill you!”
He pointed his gun at Ye Zhongming who was just a few meters away. At this distance, even if the two star evolved Wang Ding was here, Wang Zhen was confident in getting his head.
Liang Chuyin, Mo Ye, Park Xiuying etc expressions changed and they wanted to stop Wang Zhen.
It was Ye Zhongming who kept really calm and he even smiled.
“You finally revealed your true nature? You didn’t want to leave after just some payment, you wanted everything. You didn’t attack because you didn’t know the attitude of this teacher Cheng Ze. You were also worried about me and don’t know how much I have recovered and were afraid that Mo Ye would be forced to fight you.”
Ye Zhongming stood up slowly which made Wang Zhen and his men nervous.
“Am I right?” Ye Zhongming raised his right hand and it was still hurting a little, “But when I woke up, you saw that I looked sick and hadn’t recovered so that worry disappeared. You saw Teacher Cheng’s attitude and you knew that he wasn’t on our side so you didn’t worry about him too. As for these three women, although they are evolved but they aren’t vicious enough. Just like before, they evolved but you still had the advantage over them.”
Those words caused Mo Ye, Liang Chuyin and Park Xiuying’s expressions to change. They were ashamed of their performance. At this key moment, they couldn’t even do anything and even placed Ye Zhongming in danger.
“Do you know? I wanted to thank you. Immunity potion, evolution potion, egg, those were things I was prepared to give up. I even thought that I could give you more things.” Ye Zhongming’s smile disappeared and what replaced it was a dark expression that came after a storm.
“But you are too greedy. You want everything that we have! I can even see your beast-like desire for these few women!”
Those words slew his heart and caused the girls to shake. Even Mo Ye was looking at Wang Zhen with a different expression.
“You said that this was the apocalypse, you are right.” Ye Zhongming looked at Wang Zhen. His eyes didn’t show fear of being threatened. There was no rage, there was just mocking and coldness towards the ignorance of Wang Zhen.
“In the apocalypse, there is a popular phrase that I can teach you for free, that is...” Ye Zhongming pointed to the sky and said slowly, “Greed, but you need to have the strength to be greedy.”
“Unfortunately, you do not.”
That sentence gave him a bad feeling and he wanted to pull the trigger to kill him first. But a gun was fired and it wasn’t his.
Wang Zhen lowered his head to look at his chest that was pierced. The blood started to spread. His eyes went dark and he left the apocalypse that had just begun with unwillingness.
