Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 217: Coolies

Fighting had always been the theme of the apocalypse. It was the same even in such a base as Cloud Peak.

Since he chose this as his base, no matter what he would do in the future, the first step would be to clear the dangers.

There were thousands of mutated lifeforms outside the walls.

The first afternoon after Ye Zhongming occupied Cloud Peak, he started to clear the mutated lifeforms.

Everyone in the base had to participate in this battle.

Jennings, Lu Yi, Sister Rongs’ groups, there were around 500 of them altogether. On this bright afternoon, they were all called out.

“I didn’t need to say anything.” Ye Zhongming sat on the balcony and looked down at the hundreds of them, “I could treat all of you like how the others treated you in the past.”

Those people with weird smells, whose eyes were flashing, stood on the stone path of the villa and looked at the new head of the base to speak to them.

“But that is not enough to survive in such a world. You must show off your potential and complete things you don’t dare to do.”

“I need such people and not those who just wait for people to toss them dirty bread and some water.”

“You must head out to fight those zombies and mutated plants and animals in a while. We will clean the area around. This will be the start of your new life.”

“Those who do well will get rewarded. Not only this time, it will be like this in the future.” Ye Zhongming clapped, “So, that is all.”

“Of course, if you are a builder, doctor, mechanic, electrician, etc. have skills that can help in base building, you won’t need to fight. You can register on the left.”

Xia Lei walked over and started to announce the battle formations and groups. The moment she spoke up, she was interrupted.

“Why must we go?”

A thin guy shouted. Looking at where he stood, he should have been one of Jenning’s men.

“Right, we don’t want to fight. Life might be bad in the past, but we are used to it. We don’t want to fight with those monsters.”

“Right; if we need to fight, we must evolve before heading out.”

Someone led the way, so more and more people rejected the proposition.

Right, evolved were terrifying. They held control of the new base. This new guy was the same; they had strength that ordinary people didn’t.

In normal circumstances, these people wouldn’t dare to say anything.

But now they were asked to risk their lives; this concerned their lives and deaths!

Why did they decide to stay here? Wasn’t it because they were afraid of those monsters outside? This point alone wasn’t promised, and they were asked to fight. The threat of death was more significant than their fear of the evolved, so they started to resist.

Moreover, this was different from the new district base.

The new district base was one made up of survivors. People came from different regions and didn’t know one another.

But most of the survivors here came from a few companies. Apart from the girls who had a bad experience, the others didn’t get tortured because they knew one another. Although many of Jennings’ men died, most died from illness or hunger. Few of them were killed.

For example, Sister Rong, although Xiao Dong and his men were perverted on the last night, before that, they didn’t try to kill these women. They provided them with food and water, and the price was just for them to sleep with them.

Thus, the people in the base wanted to oppose it.

Of course, the number of people who gathered here and how handsome Ye Zhongming’s team was also made them respect him less.

Compared to them, Lu Yi and Sister Rong knew more. They understood how terrifying this guy was.

The two of them scolded their men and told them to shut up.

But this concerned life and death, so even their words weren’t helpful.

“Oh, like this.” Ye Zhongming nodded and was calm, “Then what do you want?”

They saw that there was room for discussion and were excited. Maybe this person could negotiate with them!

Many of them started to act like it was peacetime. There were things that they couldn’t do with their ability, but these people still spoke like they had confidence.

“Give us guns!”

“We want evolution potions!”

“We want food and meat; we want a few days of sleep!”

“Do you have explosives? What about grenades?”

“Aren’t you all… Evolved? Why not you guys do it.”

“Right, we should be protected.”

…………………………

“Why not you guys go die!”

Liang Chuyin rested on the pillar of the door and shouted at them. Her face was filled with a cold smile.

These people didn’t understand the situation!

Usually, those evolved would bully and extort them, and they wouldn’t even dare to make a sound. Now that they had a leader that they could speak to, they started to say this and that. How much of a scum were they?

“Those who do not want to fight register on the right. But let me remind you, the effort you put in and what you get is related. Be careful when you choose, as there is no second chance.” Ye Zhongming wasn’t angry at all. He had predicted such a thing.

Many people looked at one another; no one made a move. Sometimes people were like that; they wanted to follow the crowd, and being the first person was tough.

But there were still people who walked to Little Tiger on the right. They walked while looking at the reactions of the evolved. Seeing that they weren’t planning to do anything, they sped up.

After the first, more and more people walked to the right. At the same time, some walked to the left. They felt they lacked skills and didn’t want to offend the evolved.

Ye Zhongming saw that most of the people staying were Sister Rong and her group. Apart from that, Lu Yi and his didn’t move. It seemed like this old man had reasonable control of his men. As for the others, only a few dozen didn’t move.

“Register them, be more detailed.” Ye Zhongming instructed those admin workers and then looked at Xia Lei, “Sister Lei, you continue. Give these people who want to fight some missions.”

Ye Zhongming told Little Tiger to bring those who didn’t want to fight to the meeting region.

“You are letting them go like that?”

Once they walked far, Xia Lei asked Ye Zhongming. The others also looked over; they wanted to know how Ye Zhongming would deal with these people.

“Do you know what we lack most now?” Ye Zhongming laughed, “Coolies.”
