Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 241: Science Monster
A blade slashed a short Demon Monster into two. Ye Zhongming then walked into the warehouse.
If there weren’t the threat of the zombie horde, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t find trouble with the Demon Monsters at such a stage. He wouldn’t waste the only mid-grade nature stone in his hands to not even get a single demon crystal.
These Demon Monsters were just so annoying. They were dangerous; even if you killed them, you wouldn’t get anything.
He looked around and was excited. Although this warehouse wasn’t big and stored standard weapons, even a third were bullets about to expire. But there were many guns. Just rifles alone were a thousand. The ammo was so much that Ye Zhongming couldn’t count them all. There weren’t many pistols, but there were a hundred, and they were all brand new.
Apart from guns and bullets, many uniforms and tools were kept well. Just bulletproof vests alone were 500 pieces. This was the most useful in the apocalypse. Unlike those sold outside, these were of high quality for military use.
But what disappointed Ye Zhongming was that he didn’t find grenades. If there were those, it would be helpful against a dense horde of zombies. This was a slight regret.
There were many warehouses here, just three filled with weapons. A few were empty. This was not surprising during peacetime.
Ye Zhongming found several women and female zombies tied to beds in the nearby warehouse. Among them were many zombies, and there were just less than ten females.
Ye ZHongming knew that these were used to give birth to babies. They would get them pregnant in a short time to reproduce. If they didn’t clear this place out, thousands of Demon Monsters would occupy it in just a year.
He killed the zombies one by one and dug out the demon crystals. He checked these females, and they were all trampled upon. Many were in a daze. Probably because of their bodies, they were unable to get pregnant. They couldn’t take the Demon Monster’s actions anymore. Ye Zhongming lowered his head and then helped release them.
After clearing this place up, Ye Zhongming went to find where the pregnant ladies were. That had to be cleared out. If not, new Demon Monsters would appear in just a few days.
But he didn’t walk far before he turned around. He walked to the corner of the warehouse and saw a small door.
“Come out.”
Ye Zhongming held the rifle in his hands and aimed at the door.
When he was about to leave, he felt he was being looked at. He was sharp and quickly found this place.
“Eh, so problematic.”
There was a sigh. The door was pushed open, and a girl in tattered clothing walked out.
Ye Zhongming frowned. She should be around 40, and naturally, she didn’t look as good as Xia Lei, Park Xiuying, Liang Chuyin, or Mo Ye. But she was in such a bad state. Her clothing had turned grey, and there were filth patches on it. Her decent face was covered in marks, and her hair was bunched up and smelled disgusting.
Even if water was scarce during the apocalypse, you can’t live like that, right?
Also, Ye Zhongming sensed that this woman was evolved. For an evolved to live like this, she was different.
She frowned, and her eyes showed a little impatience. That left a significant impression on Ye Zhongming like he was disturbing her. She didn’t feel grateful that she was being saved.
“Put down the gun. I feel uncomfortable with the gun aimed at me.” She waved and looked annoyed.
Ye Zhongming laughed coldly, “It is okay as long as I feel good.”
“En?” She glanced at Ye Zhongming and nodded, “That’s true.”
After which, she walked over to the corpses that Ye Zhongming killed.
Ye Zhongming didn’t fire and just looked quietly at this weird woman.
“The temperature is normal, the veins have blood, en? It is stiffing up a little early. Eyes are getting cloudy. Anything showing death can’t be seen from these corpses.”
She muttered to herself, and the contents sent a chill down Ye Zhongming’s spine.
“What did you do before? You kill so cleanly. Even if two months have passed since the apocalypse started, there is no way someone can understand the human body so much to kill so cleanly.”
She looked at Ye Zhongming and pointed at the female corpses that Ye Zhongming had released from their misery.
Ye Zhongming didn’t say anything, but he got wary. This woman wasn’t a threat to him, but why did he feel cold when she looked at him?
“Who are you? Why are you here? Why do you… Understand so much?” Ye Zhongming asked.
“Go, let’s go look at those pregnant women.”
If Ye Zhongming could accept her previous performance, the sentence she just said caused his expression to change.
He had lived before and understood the Demon Monsters, but how did she know? Why did it seem like she understood the Demon Monsters a lot?
She walked out on her own.
“What equipment did you use to kill these green-skinned monsters? It is strong; I have never seen such strong equipment before.” It was as if this woman knew that the guy wouldn’t fire at them and that he would follow her. She walked while saying, “Also, your senses are sharp. I just glanced before you left, and you found me in less than a second. You are so familiar and can kill with your instincts. Are you a killer or special agent trained since you were young?”
“You read too many novels?” Ye Zhongming scoffed.
She laughed, “Don’t mind me. I have the Heaven Vision job and special ability, so I saw your battle previously.”
Ye Zhongming was stunned, “Super Vision?”
The girl stopped and turned around in shock, “How did you know the name of my skill?”
Seeing that Ye Zhongming didn’t plan on replying, she thought about it, “Okay, I know that you have several questions. Let me explain to you, and then you help answer my questions. How about that?”
Ye Zhongming nodded.
“I am in forensics, or rather I was in forensics.” The woman continued forwards like it was normal; it was as if she was familiar with this place, “There were many reasons I was antisocial like I didn’t know some societal rules. More importantly, I had principles, and I wanted the truth. You know that sometimes you can’t do that. Especially when the higher-ups gave you instructions.”
“I set up my lab, but there were no suitable topics, so I went overseas. I was back for a meeting this time and bumped into the apocalypse.”
They arrived at the entrance of one warehouse. The woman wanted to enter, but she turned around.
“I am a doctor, human doctor, biologist doctor, geneticist. I am an honorary professor of two top ten universities worldwide.” She was very calm when she said all that. She didn’t know how shocking those titles would give others, “Of course, I am called cold blood, smelly corpse woman, crazy old woman, a person from hell.”
“As I do research related to the dead or regarding mutations, I would do things that go against common theory and things that are evil and gory.”
“You go in first. My Super Vision is still on cooldown; I don’t know if there are dangers inside.”
She took two looks at her before leading the way in.
This was what Wang Xia had seen, a young man walking into her hell-like warehouse.
“I became evolved because of my ability and some luck, but I am not good at fighting. But I can barely survive alone.” The woman looked at the warehouse and paused. Evidently, the place she used her Super Vision to see looked different now.
That skill could allow her to see scenes far away, but it wasn’t unblocked.
“It was a coincidence that I found the green leather monsters as they had radiation marks. I studied the human body’s reactions to radiation, so I paid attention. Who knew that I would see so many things.”
She sighed, which made Ye Zhongming feel better about her. That sigh was because of humanity, which proved that she still had some humanity.
“These monsters are using humans and zombies to reproduce. That is terrifying. Do you know that it could make humanity go extinct?”
Ye Zhongming was shocked at her prediction and looked at Wang Xia. That was because her stomach was the biggest, and she would give birth.
“I need many specimens. How about you help me?”
She walked beside Wang Xia and then looked at Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming was in deep thought. He combined what she said, and the words Ying City and a person appeared in his mind.
“What is your name?”
“Is the name important?” She licked her dry lips, “I am Liu Zhenghong, a very dumb name.”
Ye Zhongming’s eyes opened wider.
Liu Zhenghong? Human Creator Hong?
That very famous science monster?
