Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 287: Working with his own puppet
Ye Zhongming felt complicated when he looked at Red Hair.
Red Hair didn’t see his blade. She opened her mouth and still found it hard to speak.
“I hate, it.”
Her tone was firm and stubborn. She looked at the zombie beside Ye Zhongming with some hate.
He placed his blade down. He was shocked by this zombie that had its thoughts.
Her lips curled like she was happy because of what Ye Zhongming did, but her facial muscles were stiff, so she didn’t smile.
She even blinked.
Ye Zhongming swore that he didn’t see her blink at all.
Red Hair ran across Ye Zhongming and grabbed the new zombie before biting its neck.
Ye Zhongming moved but didn’t stop her.
While she sucked its blood, the connection between them recovered. Just like when the red Hair was created, their connection became a bridge connecting the mysterious mental world. But that connection was equal, unlike before when she was his subordinate.
The male zombie was very quickly turned into a dry corpse. Red Hair pushed, and it fell into the blood pond.
“I, don’t, like, it.” She repeated her thoughts and expressed her emotions. Like a kid fighting for attention, “But it, can. Let me, get, strength.”
Those words were slightly smoother. This meant that she was used to communicating like this.
She saw that her Hair was longer, and it was now past her waist.
At the same time, he felt like her strength had increased. His iron zombie had become her nutrients.
“You saved me.” Those four words sounded smooth. Ye Zhongming was shocked. Red Hair referred to how he pulled her from a pile of dead people to turn her into a zombie.
Who knew that Red Hair not only had intelligence but she had memories?
“Thank, you.” She passed something over.
It was the three-star potion.
If other people knew that a puppet whose connection was lost took a three-star potion that could cause all factions in Ying City to fight one another to thank her previous master, what would their expressions be like?
Seeing that Ye Zhongming didn’t take it right away, Red Hair was confused and thought that he didn’t like it.
She got close, and her body had a slight blood scent; she said word by word, “I like, you, don’t, like, it. This is, for you, not it.”
She pointed at the male zombie she killed, and Ye Zhongming didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“This, thank you.” Ye Zhongming caught the potion and said.
She smiled.
This was the first time he sized her up.
She was a wonderful woman. Her age was unverifiable due to her rebirth and experiences, but Ye Zhongming saw her before at the base and knew she was around 20.
But this woman had become something that Ye Zhongming didn’t know. Was it lucky or not?
“Do you… Remember the past?” Ye Zhongming was curious. What kind of state was she in? Did she have her human memories or her zombie memories after?
She frowned and didn’t understand his question.
“I, want, circle, big, red.” Red Hair decided not to think about it at all and said the reason why she found him.
He understood what she meant. That red liquid was also helpful for her.
“I saw Talking Lady and you together; she is that black-haired zombie.”
Red Hair thought about it and nodded, “She, work together, want red, I hate her, want to eat her. I don’t want to eat you, I, like you.”
To hear something you didn’t know was human or ghost say that they liked you, even if you knew they didn’t mean it, it still made him uncomfortable.
He thought about the three factions and guessed it was because Talking Lady and Red Hair knew how valuable the blood was for them. They had strong mental energy and communicated with the few level-four zombie kings. They were willing to let them join to strengthen their faction.
But Yangos and the rat king worked together, and the zombie king retreated. This made the two of them very unhappy, so they searched for Ye Zhongming to get him to work together.
One had to say that the two of them were brilliant.
Ye Zhongming found a place to sit, and he started to think.
Mutated lifeforms would allow him to spin the wheel, but they would kill him after he turned it. They weren’t afraid of humans knowing their plan as the wheel was attractive. Like flies to a fire, they could not only eat human evolved, they could also gain some evolution blood.
Each time they spun the wheel, evolution blood would be formed. The Rat King and Yangos must have agreed to share the spoils.
Once such a thing happened, Red Hair and Talking Lady would lose their chance to get the blood, as the other two factions wouldn’t allow it.
Once zombies evolved to a high level, they would be more intelligent than other lifeforms. They were worried about fighting the other two factions and kept silent.
After gaining intelligence, there were pros and cons. Like now, if the zombie king was just level three, it might have just fought the other two factions.
Red Hair found Ye Zhongming to work together. They would cover him to spin the wheel, and then he would help them to fight for the blood.
The idea is good, but these two people were too simple.
“Can you control a portion of the zombies?”
Red Hair stood there when Ye Zhongming was thinking; it was as if she had just been created.
“No, we can’t. We don’t have that; let them listen.”
Red Hair meant that Talking Lady and her couldn’t make the zombies listen to them when the zombie kings were there. It was the same case, even if their mental energy was strong.
Moreover, strictly speaking, the two of them weren’t pure zombies. They had weird evolutions. They wouldn’t have that natural prestige and threat even if they were on the same level as the zombie kings.
Ye Zhongming looked at the three-star potion, and his eyes lit up. He raised his head and looked at Red Hair’s human-like face, “If I ask you two to cause some influence on the zombies when needed and make some chaos, can you two do it?”
Red Hair heard Ye Zhongming repeat several times and finally understood. She said that she could.
Ye Zhongming smiled.
“Then, let us do something huge.”
