Chapter 404: Cannon Fodder (1)
Ye Zhongming hated the random teleportation of the Secret Realm key.
He left Earth from Cloth River Dungeon but appeared in a wilderness… A mutated animal nest. The group of level-three mutated lifeforms nearly ate him.
Fortunately, the discomfort from teleporting disappeared. His true strength was level-six, so the level-three lifeforms were too weak. These fellows even allowed him to use Swallowing Satan to recover some injuries.
As he didn’t know where he was, Ye Zhongming could only search for survivors. Fortunately, he noticed a simple camp.
Zhao Gang was evolved, one star. He wasn’t important in Peace Town, but he could be a guard when the average level was two. This showed that he had some strength.
Even the hunting captains were polite to him. Behind him was the boss of Peace Time. This made him arrogant.
Of course, he had to have foresight to maintain this good job. He knew how to speak to different groups of people and suck up to them.
But Zhao Gang still made a mistake today. He didn’t see Ye Zhongming’s evolution level and thought he was ordinary.
Although evolved were everywhere, most people were still unevolved.
“Do you know the rules?”
A black-faced guy beside Zhao Gang scolded. Even Zhao Gang didn’t see how strong he was, much less this guy who wasn’t even evolved.
When one was not evolved, the muscles one had decided how strong a person was. If a muscular person had weapons, then there was nothing to fear. So when they saw how calm Ye Zhongming was, the black face wanted to teach him a lesson.
The apocalypse was a place where the strong suppressed the weak. If you couldn’t fight back, you had to take it.
The real world was the same.
Ye Zhongming didn’t know where this place was and how far it was from Ying City. He was rushing back to his base, so naturally, his temper wouldn’t be good.
Ye Zhongming frowned and passed a level-three crystal to Zhao Gang.
“Where is this place? Get me some clean water and a full-tank motorcycle or car. I will give you another piece. If you find me a map, I will give you a third one.”
This was his mistake or, rather, something that he neglected.
When he was too strong, what he considered was about the difference in strength. So he would forget about something not important. He was trying to rush back to Cloud Peak but forgot that taking out a level-three crystal here and even promising two more would cause him problems.
Zhao Gang rolled his eyes and smiled.
“Eh, sorry, I didn’t recognize that you are an expert. I have to prepare the things you said. Why not head to Peace Hotel to eat? I will find you after I get ready. The Peace Hotel is the tallest building in the town.”
Zhao Gang didn’t recognize it, but he did now. Someone who could take level-three crystals out was not a normal person. He changed his attitude and let Ye Zhongming in respectfully.
Ye Zhongming agreed. The moment he found where Cloud Peak was, he was going to rush over.
He shall use this time to eat some food and rest.
He looked at the tallest building in the town and walked over.
Zhao Gang instructed the people, and they hurriedly went to find people.
As for what Ye Zhongming said… Keke, he couldn’t offend them, but others could. Not only was he a fat goat, he was an obese one! A fat goat that handed level-three crystals out so easily!
This wasn’t Ye Zhongming’s fault. His lowest level crystal was level three, so he had no choice.
There was no difference in day or night for bars. As long as you had crystals, you could go over anytime. So when Ye Zhongming walked in, it was hectic. Smoke circled the sky. There was also the smell of body fluids that he was familiar with in his last life.
Ye Zhongming frowned slightly and adapted.
The position he was in was at the top of the apocalypse. The other survivors all lived like this.
Trying their best to survive.
He found a place at the counter and placed the two bags by his feet. He looked at the female attendant and hesitated, “Bread and water.”
“You don’t want others? Like… Meat.”
This female attendant winked at him and purposely shook her two 36D snow-white breasts.
The bar started to whistle.
“Big Milk, an old cow wants to eat young grass? There is no point; why not find me? I will cut it off if I don’t make you climax.”
A muscular guy who looked like a black bear sat behind a table and held a metal cup. He revealed the scars on his chest.
“Don’t listen to him; I can’t even find his thing even if he didn’t cut it.”
Another female attendant walked out from the kitchen and said in disdain.
The people in the bar laughed and said all sorts of words.
The guy lost face and smashed two level-one crystals on the table. He said to the attendant, who mocked him, “I will show you if I have anything tonight! Do you want?”
She was delighted and walked to his side. She grabbed the two crystals and placed them in her chest area. She touched his chin, “Crystals are everything, no matter if you have anything!”
Everyone laughed. This attendant smiled and sent meals to the other guests, leaving the muscular guy to drink. He muttered that he would do her to death tonight.
“Handsome…”
“Bread and water.”
The woman called Big Milk smiled and wanted to speak, but Ye Zhongming’s calm expression and tone interrupted her.
She was stunned. She was rarely treated like that. She glanced at him and noticed that he was different.
The most obvious point was that he was clean.
Besides his shoes that had dust on, even the weird armor was clean. His skin, hand, and face were not dirty at all.
Her body felt different. In the apocalypse, a clean guy was as hard to find as a beautiful virgin.
“1 kilogram of mutated animal meat or two sets for one level one crystal.”
Ye Zhongming took out a crystal, “Five sets; the rest is for you.”
The bar was silent.
Big Milk was the prettiest attendant here. Without five level-one crystals, she wouldn’t care about you at all. Few survivors were willing to use five crystals on a woman in Peace Town. So, although she looked like the rest, she rarely received guys. Many survivors didn’t even remember who she had been with. They just heard the boss treated her well, so no one dared to force her.
They couldn’t play with her, but they paid close attention. Such a beautiful woman with a good body was an attraction everywhere.
So when Ye Zhongming tossed the crystals out, everyone saw it. Many of them were stunned. Some even dropped their alcohol glasses to break the silence.
Ye Zhongming gave a level-three crystal.
Damn, level three crystal for bread and water? Only five sets? One demon crystal could buy 50 and even 500 sets. Was this kid showing off?
Ye Zhongming was not showing off. He didn’t have any low-level crystals.
Big Milk touched the black crystal and was stunned for half a day before confirming that she had received a level-three crystal. Her thought was to head up and get a potion from that annoying Old Jiang for her brother and herself!
But she held back. She knew that she had to get this young man food.
She sensed the warmth from the crystal, and she knew that she was wet.
In the apocalypse, each woman had a price. When one only talked about money, money was a lubricant.
No matter if it was manmade or natural.
Big Milk gave Ye Zhongming what he needed and smiled. She considered that if this guy was interested in her and slept with her, she could get another crystal.
Or… You can also not pay.
The door of the bar was pushed. One tall and one short guy walked in. The bar was silent and returned to normal after two seconds. But the noise level was softer than before.
They looked around and finally looked at Ye Zhongming. His appearance stood out in Peace Town.
They confirmed something. They split up and sat at each side of the entrance.
Big Milk’s expression changed. She thought about it and acted like she was cleaning the table, “If you want to live, then run; there is a back door.”
Ye Zhongming didn’t even turn his head. He knew what was going on. He smiled and drank a mouth of water. A thought appeared, and he asked Big Milk, “How many survivors are here?”
