Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1077.1: Taste of answers and country ranking

There was a loud commotion as a motorcade arrived. These were eight modified vehicles that looked like those in Gantz. They were black bikes with riders wearing leather jackets, which looked really cool.

Behind the eight bikes was a giant caravan. The color didn’t represent its level, but the vehicle’s body was painted in that color. Under the sunlight, it did look like a gold piece of equipment.

Eight bikes, similar to before, were also after the caravan. Further back were ten modified SUVs that looked really ferocious.

In the apocalypse, where there weren’t any traffic rules, this motorcade ruled the ground.

Be it Ye Zhongming or the two behind him, they weren’t people who liked to talk. Although they saw this eye-catching group charging at them, they weren’t shocked and just stood there. With their identity, it wasn’t too much for such a group to welcome them. Then… They watched as this motorcade brushed past them.

One couldn’t deny that they panicked a little.

This motorcade wasn’t for them?

Ye Zhongming felt a little awkward and touched his nose. Things weren’t as he had expected.

The two action squad members behaved as usual and stood behind Ye Zhongming, not saying a word.

But when they saw a car finally come for them, they couldn’t maintain their expressions anymore. Gao Yi was still okay, but Lin Xiangxue was furious. If you looked carefully, you could see some flames in her eyes.

The one that came was a… Scooter.

This looked like those scooters you often saw in your housing districts… Those doorless ones that could fit four people.

“Here for the feast?”

The rider’s voice was lazy and impatient. He yawned and sized these three people up. Although he didn’t say anything, you could see his disdain for them.

What did you look for to judge one’s strength in the apocalypse? The most obvious thing was their equipment.

A person wearing green or blue would be stronger than those wearing grey and white.

But what were Ye Zhongming and his group wearing? That tall fellow was in steel armor. It looked majestic and might have been worth a few hundred thousand in the past. But what about now? It had no level, so it was useless! A strong level-two mutated lifeform could cause a hole in it. This thing had no defense and was heavy to run with.

That woman was clean but wearing a white robe with no level. That staff… Was it a toy? What was the use of that thing? Even if it was equipment, it might have been useful at the start of the apocalypse, but it was useless now.

The young guy at the front was even worse. He was in casual wear, and his hands were empty. He was even carrying a huge bag, and who knew what nonsense was inside? It was probably pieces of meat. Water with impurities?

That guy shook his head. Seemed like they were here for a picnic.

Before the three replied, he signaled behind him, “Head up, I will bring you to sign in.”

After the three of them sat on the scooter, this guy drove the scooter toward that lake.

Ye Zhongming found it weird. Logically speaking, the people who had the right to enter the feast should be big factions. There shouldn’t be a case where one person would come to receive you. Even if you didn’t bother about Cloud Peak’s current status and strength, the fact that they had traded with each other a few times, they should have at least sent a butler.

But there was a huge gap with what he had expected.

He could only think about those evolved that snuck into Fallen Water Fortress. Did something happen?

When he heard Ye Zhongming’s questions, the person who picked him laughed.

“People would gather at places where they can benefit.” This person was good at talking and answered Ye Zhongming’s questions.

“This Bright Water Feast was for some of the bigger organizations, but you still heard it and came. Haha, this meant the news was leaked. Such a good gathering ended up as a random, messy battle of skill.”

“What is Five Ring Money? A place to earn money. They can use any opportunity to earn money. Since more people found out, they decided to ignore things. They even promoted it so that more people could learn about this.”

Ye Zhongming listened quietly. This was totally different from the Fallen Water Fortress’s situation.

“Do you know that in many directions around this lake, there are many small squads controlled by Five Ring Money that are doing business? They continue to maintain the mystery of Bright Water Feast and then draw those people over to earn fees. People like us without backing can only pick people up for one level-three crystal a day.”

That person mocked himself, “Do you see that big eye? It is free here, but when you get there and want to head to that eye, the Bright Water World, you need to pay ship fees. At the gate, you still need to pay another entrance fee. These are collected by Five Ring Money. Just these two alone could earn them a lot. There were already so many small factions who paid these few days to get in.”

“Of course, if you have the invitation, it would be free.” That person laughed, “I hope you have enough crystals to pay those two fees.”

“What is there inside?” Ye Zhongming probed.

That guy gave a mysterious smile and raised his brows at Ye Zhongming. He took a level-three crystal and placed it into his hand.

“Generous!” His eyes lit up, and he didn’t expect Ye Zhongming to give him a level-three crystal. That was one day’s pay.

“Actually, Bright Water Feast is a riddle event.”

Ye Zhongming was shocked. This was the first time he heard that.

“I don’t know where Bright Water World came from, but once it is opened, there will be a wide space with many good things. But not everything can be obtained. After Five Ring Money got the things they could, there are still some things that they can’t get. So they organized this feast for everyone to work to solve the riddles and then split those good things!”

This time, even the two captains were shocked.

Was that the real goal of Bright Water Feast?

“I know that you don’t believe me. I also don’t dare to ensure that I am right, but I have a relative who works in Five Ring Money, and he was the one who told me this. I got this job because of him, too, so I am basically right.”
