Chapter 31: Killing lizards
Ye Zhongming and Mo Ye hid on the stairs connected to the second floor and were waiting for the best chance.
Mo Ye agreed to work with Ye Zhongming and both of them were temporary allies.
Mo Ye had to do something really dangerous. She had to draw the attention of two lizards, giving time for Ye Zhongming to kill one.
As a professionally trained cop, she knew what she was going to face. From Ye Zhongming’s words, he knew that they were level-two lifeforms but she still agreed as she was really interested in the strength that Ye Zhongming said he could give her.
Moreover, he promised her that if she helped him to complete the second thing, he would tell her how to survive in the apocalypse.
Mo Ye didn’t want to know how to survive, what she wanted to know was what was going on.
She held an aluminum bat, the shock in her heart couldn’t calm down.
If not for her personally witnessing many things, she wouldn’t believe that this was just a baseball bat. That was because no normal bat would shine grey!
Even this grey light was something that was minuscule!
She remembered that this guy found four or five of such bats that looked quite normal but after he took them to some place and came back, this was the only one with grey light.Mo Ye had seen good things before. She knew how to use pretty much every gone and she knew how to drive all sorts of vehicles. She was young but she had been through many tough missions.
But she had never seen a baseball bat that gave her a feeling that she could smash a giant hole!
Her gaze toward Ye Zhongming was really complicated, it was as if she was looking at a monster.
Mo Ye realised that the so called strength might come in many forms. This guy grasped more than one of them.
She had a thought in her mind, she really wanted to understand and even get such power.
She was a cop and her desire for strength was more than others. After witnessing such strength, her panic was reduced. It was as if she had found an interesting light in all the darkness.
Ye Zhongming wasn’t a stranger to her gaze. In the apocalypse, many people had such a gaze. It was a desire, for potions, for equipment, for weapons, for girls. In the end, it was the desire to live.
He knew that the baseball bat that was strengthened four times by him had already piqued her interest and desire. So he wouldn’t have to be afraid that she won’t work with him.
In the apocalypse, solo strength was respected and worshipped but there were many things that couldn’t be done by just one person. Especially in the middle of the apocalypse, teams were much more useful.
In Ye Zhongming’s plan, his operation tomorrow needed more than one cop. He also had to bring Mu Xinfei and form a small team.
As for the baseball bat that he had strengthened, Ye Zhongming wasn’t sure about how strong it was. One thing was for certain, it was definitely tougher than stainless steel, more importantly, it was lighter…
Looking at Mo Ye who treated it like a treasure, Ye Zhongming’s sense of superiority rose up. If he had suitable materials and strengthened this bat again, how much more excited would she be?
“Here!”
Ye Zhongming said two words and both the dog and the two of them retracted their thoughts and got ready to strike.
Due to the phone that was dropped in the room, the torchlight was still on and light shone out from the door. It also shone onto the bodies of the three lizards.
Maybe because they had failed to move the wooden board on the ceiling. They didn’t see any movement and got impatient so they walked out. They came to the entrance of the locker room.
Even though she had fought them previously, but Mo Ye still felt terror when she saw them again. She didn’t understand where these monsters came from.
She couldn’t help but glance back at the dog laying beside Ye Zhongming. She saw some answers on the dog but she didn’t understand. If those changes on the lizard occurred on Yellow Ball, then why didn’t it have the white crystal and it was much weaker than those three lizards?
But that dog was smart. It lay there like a well trained police dog.
The biggest of the three walked out first. Maybe because of habits from before they evolved, its movement was very hesitant and careful. The other two followed behind it. One of them was still chewing on an arm! It continued to chew it in its mouth.
Mo Ye held the baseball bat tightly and killing intent surged out from her body.
Even if those few people who died in the bathroom weren’t good people, but they were humans. Seeing humans being eaten as food, she felt pity for them.
But Ye Zhongming was clear that these mutated life forms weren’t humans. They weren’t able to get strengthening potions from the gachapon and they evolved by killing. Killing humans, killing monsters, killing their own kind. The more they killed, the stronger they got and the faster they evolved.
These lizards were just following their instincts. Since they had reached level two, who knew how many life forces had they killed?
Ye Zhongming signaled with his hands and Mo Ye nodded. After taking in a deep breath, she charged toward the training zones.
The movement attracted the three lizards. The leader saw the prey that had escaped now appear once more so it roared and chased. Its limbs gave off a creaking sound as it touched the ground. The good quality floor couldn’t block its sharp claws at all.
This lizard evolved the most and was the quickest. Right away it was dozens of meters forwards and headed toward the training region with Mo Ye.
The two lizards saw the leader chase so they followed closely behind. But the leader was too quick and they were also slow to start out. One dashed while the other was still chewing on the arm. It even hesitated a little. It didn’t know whether or not it should finish it before chasing or following up right away.
This moment of hesitation gave Ye Zhongming a chance. He jumped from the stairs and slashed right at the soft area under his jaw.
According to evolution levels, Ye Zhongming was just one star evolved and there was a gap between his strength and level two lizards. But he had the enchanted white weapon and he was also sneak attacking. This lizard was sneak attacked and was also biting onto something. Its strongest tongue couldn’t be used so it lost its strength.
All these elements together meant that it could only side step and also spit out the broken arm from its mouth.
But right when it moved, a huge power spread out from its tail. Its body was being held back.
Life and death were often based on a split second. It felt coldness through its body as that white blade sliced into its neck!
