Chapter 403: Peace Town
Ye Zhongming lay at the bottom of the Saint Pool. It took a long time before he regained consciousness. The intense pain spread from his stomach to his throat and then into his mouth.
He couldn’t help but spit out blood when he regained control of his body. Then he spat out another mouth before he felt better.
Level eight was still level eight. He also cultivated techniques. Such a person was much stronger than those who used potions on Earth. Even if both were level eight, he was still stronger.
If not for Ye Zhongming cultivating secret techniques and using the Energy Protection Barrier to block, he would have died.
The level gap was huge.
Apart from feeling bad, a weird thought appeared in his mind. Would that evil dragon Yangos have been eaten? And been barbecued as a Winged Demon Monster?
He stumbled to his feet. He knew that he had to complete what he had to do quickly. Although he returned to the pool with Rainbow Gate, who knew if they had a way to find out what was happening here? Was that Pool Guardian cultivating and resting here? If he returned, Ye Zhongming wasn’t even his match, even if he had Nature Staff.
He looked around and saw eight burning basins that lit this place up. The statues around were looking at this thief.
He took out the key to compare. He confirmed that this hole was for the key.
He noticed that this place was silent, and he calmed down. He didn’t stick it right away and just gathered some stamina before he did so.
En...
No reaction?
His heart sank.
As Bent appeared, Ye Zhongming had no way out. If this failed, his only way out would be for no one to notice him here. He would then charge out after he healed up.
He was not sure if he could escape without dying. Although they were backward, there were four level-eight experts.
So if he couldn’t return from here, he was dead.
....................................................................................
Peace Town wasn’t a town but just a survivor gathering area. The reason why they called it that wasn’t because they hoped for peace. It had no meaning except for a Peace Hotel in the center of this area.
Right, it came from that nice movie.
Peace Town protected the survivors and was a place where they could get drunk and avoid reality.
This place wasn’t peaceful like the many survivor camps in the apocalypse. It was dark and filled with crime. Naturally, apocalypse wheels existed here.
Zhao Gang sat on a chair and looked at the setting sun. He hummed a tune that even he didn’t know and was thinking about heading to the bar to find a girl.
Of course, before that, he had to finish his duty. It was night, and it was when the hunters would return. If he was lucky, he could take their spoils, which could be traded for a level-one crystal. Then, he might be able to find more than one girl later.
As for saving money, that wasn’t in Zhao Gang’s plan. Who knew if this place would get drowned by zombies tomorrow? Or a mutated lifeform would wipe it out?
On the small path, a person was getting close. Zhao Gang squinted his eyes, and he stood up.
This person was carrying a big bag. His hands also had two of the same size.
This was a wandering survivor!
Zhao Gang had an evil smile. This person was the best fatty goat. He wanted to get protected by Peace Town, so shouldn’t he pay for it? Looking at what he had, he should just leave one bag! Zhao Gang was planning to do that.
“Pay attention, a big business is here!”
Zhao Gang kicked the four with him. These four guards stood at the entrance and waited for the fat goat.
He walked close, and this was a young kid. He wore weird leather armor, but no one cared. People wore all sorts of things in this day and age.
Zhao Gang looked at the bag and gulped. He wanted to say something, but that young man spoke first.
“Where is this place? How far is it from Ying City?”
