Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1067.1: Ruins
The people who entered before also saw those scenes and tried their best to retreat.
But since they had lived for two years in the apocalypse, no one shouted or screamed. Everyone was on guard. If they were attacked, they would fight back.
Those green or red eyes didn’t get close and quietly looked at these newcomers.
“Do you have food?”
A coarse voice rang out, which relaxed the moods of these newcomers.
Humans were still terrifying in the apocalypse. But in such a dark environment, confirming that it wasn’t a mutated lifeform would help put people at ease.
Humans didn’t eat zombie meat, so even now, food is still a big problem. They were like beasts. If they hunted something, they would be full for a few days. If they couldn’t find any food for a period of time, they would go hungry.
So, to humans, if people asked you for food, naturally, you would be wary.
Thus, the newcomers gathered together and didn’t fully relax. Some people even raised their steel cones.
Ye Zhongming stood at the back, close to the wall. Although this place was dark but, he could still see clearly.
The humans with green or red eyes were people wearing tattered clothing and long hair. Each of them looked like devils from hell, not high-level lifeforms with flesh and blood.
They looked like they had been here for a long time.
Someone suddenly spat out a ball of light that rose into the sky. This was either his job skill or ordinary skill.
The light lit the place up. Although it was dark but, people could see clearly.
The newcomers saw those people, and they all took a deep breath. Coldness appeared in their eyes.
It wasn’t toward those people but themselves.
They were looking at their futures.
The newcomers looked at these people covered in dirt. They were carrying similar steel cones, and some even held two. But the cones were old and damaged, and some even had cracks.
Ye Zhongming looked at some dark brown marks and frowned.
“You are unlucky.” One of the experienced people raised two cones and said to the dozen of them, “Leave half of your food and water as a gift; if not, we can only kill you and then take your items.”
Even if it was dark, they could see their vicious faces.
Ye Zhongming turned, and that entrance that could only fit a person who had to bend his way through was already covered with a giant piece of stone.
“Smelly bug, you aren’t following the rules again.”
A voice interrupted and broke the nervous situation. Another person with long hair. Although his body was not clean, the group this old man led was cleaner than the bunch before. They walked into this giant stone hall from another direction.
Moreover, the newcomers realized that these people didn’t have green or red eyes.
Ye Zhongming looked at these two groups and thought of a possibility. His gaze towards those people with colored eyes turned cold.
“Old fellow, you are still alive.”
That dirty man laughed, but his face was filled with killing intent.
The two of them stood in a standoff. Both sides had two hundred people, and only those few dozen newcomers seemed helpless.
“My team welcomes you. We are willing to share the situation here with you so you can live easily until we can leave.”
The cleaner old man looked at them and said, “I am Lin Yixun; these people are my children.”
“Tsk, acting like a good person, but you are still doing the same as those outside. They will quickly see your true colors.”
Lin Yixun shook his head, “Better than you cannibals.”
The newcomers heard that and all shifted in Lin Yixun’s direction.
The apocalypse was cruel, and cannibalism often happened. But if they had a choice, no one would eat other humans. Evolved hated such people.
Ye Zhongming had thought about cannibalism. If you often ate human meat, your eyes would change and turn green or red.
No one knew the reason why, and no one studied it. But those were the rumors in his last life, and he finally saw them today.
That person knew that the moment Lin Yixun exposed it, these newcomers would oppose him, so it was impossible for him to achieve anything today. He gave a dark smile and left from another tunnel.
Before he left, he looked at Ye Zhongming and the others and said coldly, “One day, you will jump into my embrace; I will wait for you.”
Everyone calmed down after watching those people disappear into the dark tunnels. Lin Yixun didn’t say anything and just waved at Ye Zhongming and the group for them to follow up.
“How? Should we follow?”
Someone spoke. Although these newcomers had not known each other for a long time, they were more willing to stick with one another under this circumstance.
“Follow them. If not, what can we do?”
The one who spoke was a faction leader. He was the one who used that light skill. Most of his people were here, so they agreed with his words. The team followed Lin Yixun deep into the cave.
The more they walked, the bigger this place felt. It was like an underground maze that had been hand-dug. Many people didn’t talk about it, but they were shocked. How many people did it take to create such a mine?
Only Ye Zhongming knew it wasn’t too difficult for an evolved to create such a hole.
Ye Zhongming paid attention to the walls on both sides and hoped to discover something.
His goal in coming was to learn about the stone pearls and to understand the goal of Bright Water Feast.
He didn’t care much about the people here. He could tell that Lin Yixun and the boss of those cannibals were five-star evolved. They weren’t a threat to him.
Although the light was dim and was only lit by a few torches, he could see clearly. However, he didn’t notice anything.
Very quickly, these people came to a hall that was smaller than the one from which they had entered, but it was still quite huge.
But it wasn’t tall, only around a meter. The taller people would have to lower their heads, which made one feel very suppressed.
