Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1064.1: Side Business (1)

Ye Zhongming looked at the flames in the distance, and emotions rose in his heart.

Seeing so much light at night in the apocalypse was not easy.

Only two types of factions could do it. The first was a super strong faction that wasn’t afraid that the light would attract mutated lifeforms and was confident in defending its territory.

From the mutated lifeform perspective, they were sensitive to the aura from humans’ bodies. Few mutated lifeforms would target these types of strong bases as they knew they would just die.

Mutated lifeforms weren’t afraid of death when they fought, but at other times, they were very rational.

Only those extremely strong lifeforms would dare to challenge these types of factions. Either that or it would be hordes.

For example, Cloud Peak was very strong now, and its combined strength was enough to scare off most mutated lifeforms. Cloud Peak was usually very safe.

The other type would be factions with special equipment or members with special abilities. These factions used certain methods to cover the light, creating an illusion for the mutated lifeforms.

This camp was hidden with such a piece of equipment. But because of Ye Zhongming’s strengthening eyesight, he was unaffected.

This place was Fallen Water Fortress, it was the last human base before Bright Water Feast’s location.

Ye Zhongming teleported to the village that Lu Yi and the others occupied and came here alone.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to bring anyone else, but it was the special feature of the Meditation Bone Demon Platform.

This teleportation equipment has a life of its own, and each time it evolves, it will have teleportation ability. Moreover, the number of teleportation times wouldn’t be too many due to the energy. The teleportation was based on the target’s energy and consumed the platform’s energy.

With Ye Zhongming’s current strength and equipment, to be able to teleport him here and back was already the platform’s limit. He couldn’t bring more people over.

Although being here alone was risky, he was strong, and few on Earth could fight him. He had many equipment and skills, so he could escape even if he faced danger.

Moreover, Lu Yi’s merchant squad was nearby, and they could support him. The mysterious Chameleon was also definitely nearby. All of this ensured his safety.

Although he came here alone, it didn’t mean he was heading to Bright Water Feast alone. He needed some subordinates, just that they weren’t beside him now.

He moved forward and planned to sneak into Fallen Water Fortress and find out more about the feast.

He didn’t understand why Five Ring Money made such a feast.

Was it just to raise influence? Or split territory?

Ye Zhongming didn’t think that it was so simple.

Although he didn’t fear anything, he had no idea why they would gather so many battle squads. It would be good if he could understand.

The fortress wasn’t small, and it was built on a mountain. More accurately, it was built in a valley. The sides were smooth cliffs, which provided this place was a natural barrier. Only the front and back needed guarding, and the few dozen meter-long walls protected them well.

He casually killed a level-two mutated snake that attacked him and tossed the demon crystal to the side. He pondered about the way to enter.

He was observing the movement of the guards and their shift timings.

He looked at a place around a thousand meters away a moment later. There were actually other humans there.

Ye Zhongming thought about it and snuck over.

He was shocked to find nearly a hundred people here when he was nearby!

Why were so many people gathered together at night in the wilderness? Were they going to be the supper of the mutated lifeforms?

Using his strong hearing, he heard some conversations.

These people were doing business, and the deal was to… Enter the fortress!

But they had some disagreements, and their voices became louder.

Ye Zhongming looked and saw a muscular guy standing in the crowd. He tried to lower his voice while also threatening them.

“Let me repeat it: why are all of you here? Isn’t it because you want to see if there are any benefits that arise because of Bright Water Feast?”

“Why? Do you lack that bit of money? Let me be direct: the money can’t be reduced. If you don’t like it, return to where you came from and enjoy your time in your territory! Stop embarrassing yourself to half of China’s famous and strong people!”

He didn’t hold back. People in the apocalypse were arrogant. There would have been a fight if this guy had dared speak to other evolved people like this during peacetime.

But it was obvious that these people came here with a goal, so they suppressed their anger.

“Yan Laowu, it isn’t that we lack the money, but you are dishonest. You said that each battle squad would cost 20 level-three crystals. What happened when we came? You said that you would charge per head, one level-three crystal per head. Are you mad?”

The bald guy that seemed like the leader said, and that drew agreement from the others. They pointed at him and scolded him.

“Right, I went against my word. But do you know that you need to have someone backing you in my line of business? That is why I can lead you into the Fallen Water Fortress that closed four days ago. Will anyone do things for free nowadays? Those old bosses aren’t blind and can’t they see that there are more evolved in the fortress?”

Yan Laowu scoffed, “So what if they see? Then just make them act like they didn’t see! How? Demon crystals! Use crystals to cover their eyes!”

“Now, do you understand? The person who takes care of me needs reparations, too! Where does this money come from? Of course, from me, where does my money come from? Of course you!”

“So, this is the situation. If you think it is okay, then pay up. I will send you in. If you think it is expensive, then don’t waste my time. Even if we meet in the future, we will still be friends!”
