Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 211: Fake Ghost Tree

This night was destined to be chaotic for Cloud Peak.

Wei Xiaoyong stood on the roof. He glanced to the left and right, and he frowned.

Gunshots spread out from Old Lu and Xiao Dong’s territories!

What happened? What happened there?

Wei Xiaoyong thought about it, but he couldn’t guess what happened.

“Boss, Jennings attacked!”

Jennings attacked too?

Wei Xiaoyong felt like things weren’t right. No, it was wrong.

Why did so many things happen on this peaceful night?

“Did anything unusual happen on our side?”

Wei Xiaoyong asked his men.

“No, there is nothing unusual at all.”

“Where did Jennings and his men go to?”

“To Old Lu’s side!”

Wei Xiaoyong walked around the roof and muttered about what had happened.

“Gather the guys! No matter what happens, we have to take a look!” Wei Xiaoyong waved his right fist, “Go to Old Lu’s side too!”

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Ye Zhongming stood in front of the iron cabinet. He saw Sister Rong twist on the side, and that door opened.

Behind it were many women. There were also some guys who didn’t misbehave during the past month and managed to survive.

“Fake Ghost Tree?”

Ye Zhongming looked at the mutated plant waving its tentacles.

In his last life, this thing was famous.

No one knew which plant this Fake Ghost Tree mutated from, but no one bothered to find out. What survivors cared about was how terrifying this thing was.

The tree Ye Zhongming saw, which occupied the entire city, was suspected by many to be the final form of the Fake Ghost Tree.

Simply put, this tree had intellect.

You couldn’t tell how far it evolved from the outside as it hid its demon crystal. Moreover, its tentacles would grow many fragrant fruits. If survivors ate them, they would evolve. As long as the survivor wasn’t higher level than the tree, the fruits would be effective.

When people first discovered this thing, survivors would be delighted as that meant they found a path to evolution without needing potions. This also meant that humans might break free from the control of the gachapon and walk a new path.

But people realized that this was preposterous and a misunderstanding.

These fruits seemed to have helped humans evolve, but this evolution could only last a month. After that, the power would disappear, and the survivor would return to normal. Moreover, as they consumed the fruit, you would end up as its medium. The seeds would take root in the body, and it would be too late when the evolution power disappeared. The sapling would occupy your blood, and you would end up as nutrients. One day, your flesh and blood would be consumed, and a new Fake Ghost Tree would break out from the human’s shell.

From hiding its level so survivors would get close to pluck its fruit. It acted like it resisted, killing some survivors to use as nutrients. It then lets humans pluck the fruit and begin its reproduction.

This series of actions was a trap. When survivors found out about it, they were all shocked. They had a new understanding of the dangers of the apocalypse.

A mutated plant had a weird evolution and reproduction method; how were humans supposed to survive?

Due to their fear and hatred towards the Fake Ghost Tree, people guessed that the overpowered tree was in its final form.

Ye Zhongming smiled, which caused the people behind them to be confused.

He looked at Sister Rong, Mo Mo, and Jia Yi and shook his head. He didn’t know how long ago they consumed the fruit. If it wasn’t long, he did have some solutions, but if it was a long time ago, then… They need to cherish their final moments.

Ah!

A girl at the entrance exclaimed, and they retreated. Ye Zhongming turned back and saw Yellow Ball at the door. The team heard the gunshots, and this dog probably followed his scent to find him.

“Come!” Ye Zhongming waved. The majestic dog baring its fangs, calmed back down and burrowed itself beneath Ye Zhongming’s legs.

The people looked at one another, and the shock on their faces was fully displayed.

Level two mutated lifeform as a pet…

This, just this yellow dog alone, could allow him to rule Cloud Peak.

The women, unwilling to tell him about this secret, finally realized they made the right decision.

Yellow Ball sniffed the hole, and its fur stood on its ends. It stared at the tree and sensed some danger.

“Right, it is level three.” Ye Zhongming retracted his gun, and Moon Edge appeared in his hands.

He slapped Yellow Ball’s head and said, “Let’s go and test it out.”

The two of them charged in.

When Ye Zhongming appeared at the entrance, the tentacles waved much more quickly. When they charged in, it shook intensely and gave out a shriek. A piece of bark opened up where the trunk and the branches intersected to reveal the black crystal inside.

It revealed its identity as a level three lifeform.

But that didn’t make Ye Zhongming afraid. A blade light shone, and he used Flame Blade.

The level three Ghost Tree pulled itself up, and its roots emerged. All its tentacles blocked in front of its trunk.

Normally speaking, when such trees reach level four, they would have the ability to move. Only vines etc., could roll in the dirt when it was at the starting evolution levels.

But that was not absolute. Some plants that hadn’t reached level four could move when facing a life-and-death situation but had to pay a huge price. After which, it would enter a state of weakness.

The Fake Ghost Tree was like that. After Ye Zhongming used his strongest attack, it felt dangerous, and he chose to move.

Unfortunately, in front of Flame Blade, it was just too slow. Moreover, Ye Zhongming had a little trick. He used the quickness of the Blood Stepping Boots simultaneously with the Flame Blade.
