Chapter 205: Blood Stepping Boots
He didn't know who called this place Cloud Peak, but it was apt.
One could imagine how valuable it was to have such a place surrounded by mountains and greenery.
Human pollution didn't affect The blue sky, so it seemed much cleaner. A few clouds were hanging in the sky, like dolphins playing on the ocean surface.
But beneath the horizon was the dirtiest world.
"Just these?"
A thirty-year-old woman clenched her fist and looked at the guy whose clothes were unbuttoned and who was biting on a cigarette. Her face was filled with rage.
"Sister Rong, this is already not bad. Everyone knows the situation outside. Stand on the walls and look around. Are those dense zombies fake? My brothers and I used our lives to get these; why do you think this is little?"
"You jerk! Lying jerks!" A younger woman beside Sister Rong pointed at the guy who spoke, and her body shook.
The guy pouted and glanced back at the dozen guys behind him holding weapons. He smiled, "She said that I am a liar and a jerk, am I?"
The group burst into laughter.
"Sister Luyan, Xiao Dong is a big jerk; you are right."
"Right, right, he is a jerk; he is a total jerk!"
"I think so too, but our sister Lu Yan did sleep with the jerk."
"Hahaha, right; how does it feel to sleep with a jerk?"
"Probably doesn't feel too good. Why not you accompany me for two days? I will give you two cans of beef."
The guys laughed without restraint. They looked at the furious expressions of the three girls and were delighted.
"Karma will strike all of you sooner or later!" Another girl had tears in their eyes as she stared at them and cursed.
The smile on Xiao Dong's face slowly disappeared, and his gaze turned ice cold. He slapped the table, and that thick glass shattered with just one slap.
"Karma?!" His expression twisted, and he stood up, "What is karma? I let you use your body in exchange for food and water, which is karma. I cannot trade, but can you go out to find food? A bunch of silly girls who wanted to become idols before the apocalypse, toys of the rich. Why are you acting noble? Now you are talking about karma with me? A bunch of trash!"
The three girls were shocked by his sudden rage and subconsciously took steps back.
Although their Sister Rong was also one star evolved, Xiao Dong and his men couldn't be offended. Five of them were evolved, and Xiao Dong had a job too.
"Also, stop telling me nonsense like we were from the same company. That happened so long ago, before the apocalypse even started. We are from the same company so I should feed you? Be satisfied; look at how Wei Xiaoyong treats women. If not for me stopping him, would all of you still be trading with me here? You would have been played to death by him!"
He pointed at the food, "If you want, take it. Send four girls over at night."
Xiao Dong sat down and looked expressionlessly at the three of them, "Also. The girls sent are the same every day. The boys are tired. It would be best if you changed up. Let us taste fresh stuff. We can't let the brothers risk their lives to get food and have to see the same face. Brothers, do you agree?"
"Right, should have changed long ago!"
"What do you treat me as? You have to change; I think that long legs... What was her name? Right, Song Nan is not bad."
"That Tong Yan has huge chests; she is not bad too. I think you call her Little Ying, right? Call her over; if not, the food will be reduced."
Xiao Dong smiled and kicked the bag to Sister Rong.
The 30-year-old woman took deep breaths and picked up the bag. She and the other two girls walked out of this modern building that gave them a chill.
Through the window, they saw the three women walk far away. One of the guys frowned, "Brother Dong, do we have to feed them like this?"
Xiao Dong smoked, and the cigarette smoke rose into the sky.
"That bunch of foreigners, Wei Xiaoyong at the office area, Old Lu at the granary, are all hard to offend. Their evolved numbers have been increasing. As for us, we have as many people as those three sides, but most of us are a bunch of useless girls. They are naturally weak. But without their support, we might get swallowed. No matter what, they have three evolved that can assist."
"I find it weird; how did they get their evolution potions? We searched their villa, and there is no wheel at all."
Xiao Dong spat out the smoke and muttered, "I don't understand. They must have some secret that they are hiding from us. If we don't understand how they evolved, how can we go against them?"
...........................................................................
Sister Rong led Lu Rong and another girl called Li Ling back to their temporary villa, and immediately hundreds of girls walked over.
When they saw Sister Rong carrying a small bag, a look of disappointment appeared on their faces.
"So little this time?"
A girl looked disheveled, but this was normal for all of them. They had to save on water to drink, much less clean up.
"It doesn't look like it is enough for three days." Another girl said softly, but anyone could hear she was grumbling.
"Shut up; a few sisters used their bodies to trade for this. Whoever thinks this is little can accompany Xiao Dong tonight."
Li Ling scolded those who spoke, and the atmosphere became awkward.
"But don't blame me for not reminding you. In the past, some couldn't take it and didn't go to Xiao Dong and his guys, but we know what happened. So rather than complain, why not think of a way to survive this?" Li Ling was obviously in a bad mood since she returned. She crossed her arms and shouted at the group of girls.
"Also, don't say I didn't tell you beforehand. Four more have to go over tonight, and they have to be new. Those who want others to sacrifice while they did nothing won't be able to benefit this time."
After which, Li Ling dragged Lu Yan back into the basement.
Sister Rong felt exhausted. She looked at the picturesque villa outside but couldn't feel happy.
She didn't know how long she could hold on.
She forced herself to feel better and said softly to everyone, "There aren't many things this time, 12 bottles of water and fewer food. Split it. Also, whoever... He wants to go tonight and can get more this time and next time. Find me later."
After splitting up the food, the girls got food that was not enough for a full meal but had to spread it over three days. Each one of them felt numb.
Sister Rong sighed and went to the basement.
The two girls guarding the door holding batons saw her walk over and greeted her. Apart from them, 5-6 girls called her Sister Rong warmly.
Everyone respected the older sister, who had always cared for the group.
"Mo Mo, Jia Yi, how is it? Do you all have some idea?"
Two twenty over year old girls shook their heads. The girl called Mo Mo raised her left hand, and there were some purple marks on her white skin, like she had been whipped by something.
"As long as we got a meter near it, you would get attacked. Its attack is stronger than a few days ago. Jia Yi and I charged together and got forced back, but we didn't even slice a vine."
"Let's use the old method if it still doesn't work. I will be the bait; find a chance to break a vine."
The woman sitting at the side of the wall raised her head and looked at the roof of the basement. She chewed on an unlit cigarette and said casually.
"Xia Bai!" The girl called Jia Ye scolded and pulled her up. Her strength was enough to lift her effortlessly as a one-star evolved.
"You are not allowed to say that; you aren't allowed to sacrifice yourself!"
She was close to her and picked up the smelly scent from her body but didn't look down on her. She knew that it was the smell left by those guys. She also knew Xia Bai had sacrificed herself for them, and she had no right to look down on her.
"I have lived enough; if this continues, maybe I will just kill myself one day. You must know that whenever they press themselves on me, I have to cover my mouth to prevent vomiting. I had enough of such days. If I can use my life to exchange for an evolution fruit so that one more evolved can appear, then at least my death would be worth it."
Hearing Xia Bai talk about life in such a calm matter, the girls here all cried.
They just wanted to survive but sometimes couldn’t escape feeling powerless. They noticed that they couldn't trade for some hope even if they used their lives. n0veLUsB.c0M
Such a world filled them with despair.
Sister Rong pushed Xia Bai down, "Don't think about it. If you get one more evolution fruit, you are evolving next. Death? Did we allow you to die? You must be our good sister for the rest of your life!"
After saying that, she pulled open a two-meter-high cabinet, and the two other evolved, Mo Mo and Jia Ye, roared, "We will all charge once. I don't believe that the tree can stop us!"
There was nothing there, but Sister Rong pressed a button, and the metal board behind rose to reveal a 4-5 meter deep hole. A two-meter tall plant was there and waving its dozens of vines. Most of its vines had brown fruit on them.
Behind this giant plant was a shining tunnel...
............................................................................................................
Ye Zhongming led his team and avoided a bunch of mutated flies.
They weren't afraid of these mutated bugs; it was just that other mutated lifeforms might notice them when they killed them.
After an hour, they finally left that abandoned factory.
"I think they started fighting." Liang Chuyin stood on an abandoned vehicle and looked towards the factory. Light shone from there, and it should be from skills. It seemed like the golden light attracted mutated lifeforms or survivors, and they had clashed.
Ye Zhongming took a look, "Let's go."
The team stepped on the path toward Cloud Peak, but each carried two giant eggs, which looked amusing.
In the morning, they were near Cloud Peak. Half a day more, and they would arrive. The team was all evolved, so their speed was a certainty.
"Eat something and rest."
It was a small town ahead, and there would be some zombies when they passed it. So before they entered the town, the team that traveled for an entire night had to rest up.
The team started to split duties and share food. They also paid attention to their positioning.
Ye Zhongming stood behind a fallen advertisement board and removed the B Grade Sacrifice Box.
Small?
He shook his head and roughly guessed that the Gate of Sacrifice could be controlled. The gem could be filled more than once. As long as you had enough energy, you could sacrifice many times. Of course, the rewards would be different. The more times you fill it up, the thing you got would be much better.
For example, Ye Zhongming filled it up once this time, so he got the small B Grade box. It might be a big or C Grade if he filled it out more.
But it was surprising that he could fill it up even once now; he couldn't ask for too much.
He was a little excited and opened the box.
"Blood Stepping Boots!"
Ye Zhongming was stunned. The box gave a piece of equipment.
What Ye Zhongming looked forward to was a three-star evolution. That could allow him to become the first three-star evolved in the world.
The other thing he hoped for was skills or skill scrolls. That or cards that could raise his strength. If not, some job certificates or upgrade scrolls could increase his skills or upgrade his job. Even if he couldn't use them, he could give it to other party members.
What he didn't expect was to get a piece of equipment. That made him unhappy. Even if he got a blueprint, it would be better. He could get more than one piece of equipment, which would be far more valuable.
He was slightly depressed as he picked up the unassuming black colored boots.
Right away, he noticed why it was different.
