Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1075: Threaten then tempt

Grandfather Yan wasn’t old and was far from the age of being a grandfather. But he was like a grandfather in the mines, especially the third mine.

But now, his expression wasn’t good. A guy was standing before him, and he felt it was very dangerous.

He sat on his chair and didn’t know how to reply.

“Why can’t I use your freedom to trade for this thing?”

Ye Zhongming rested on the wall and looked at Grandfather Yan and his subordinates.

He was brought here by Zhang Xintai. He met the Collector of the third mine, Grandfather Yan, and raised his conditions.

To Ye Zhongming, his bid was really high. It was only one word: freedom.

For them to leave this dark cave and return to the ground.

Of course, there were other benefits, such as the large amount of low-grade crystals, meat, and materials in the cave.

His request was simple: First, collect all the stone pearls and pass them to him. Second, give him all their stone pearl storage. Third, only leave after a specific time.

No matter how you looked at it, his conditions weren’t much. To use these stone pearls of unknown function to trade for freedom. Why would you hesitate?

“I don’t trust you.” Grandfather Yan suddenly said. He looked at Ye Zhongming with a dark expression, “You are an outsider, and we have never lived together. So, you aren’t worthy of my trust.”

Ye Zhongming nodded. He stopped looking at Grandfather Yan but at the 300 Collectors here. He pointed above, “Have you all thought about the fact that there might be moles of those people above?”

One sentence shocked many of them.

Did they think about it? Of course, they did. But they wondered who would want to stay here and live such a life, which removed such thoughts from their heads.

Now that Ye Zhongming raised it, that question appeared in their hearts again. Especially Zhang Xintai and the other two. They were convinced by Ye Zhongming and their trust for him passed that of Grandfather Yan. With their understanding of Ye Zhongming, he wouldn’t say things without a reason. They instinctively looked at Grandfather Yan.

Was the mole that this smith was referring to the person who had been their boss for so long?

Grandfather Yan stood up and raged, “Outsider, don’t sprout nonsense. We are all brothers that go through life and death. You can’t sour our relationship with a few words. You come from the outside, so how did you bring such good equipment? How would those people let you through?”

The others felt it made sense, and their hearts became firm again.

“That is because he had space equipment, and those people didn’t notice.”

Zhang Xintai explained for Ye Zhongming.

He saw Ye Zhongming observing and studying the stone pearls. If he were from above, he would obviously know their use. Even if he didn’t, wouldn’t it be better if he studied them above? Why did he even come down here?

From their previous conversations, they could tell that Ye Zhongming knew nothing about this place. If he was sent from above, would that be the case?

“Zhang Xintai, don’t forget your identity!” Grandfather Yan’s subordinate didn’t hold back and looked like he was about to eat him.

Ye Zhongming smiled and suddenly charged forward. He activated Quickness and was before Grandfather Yan instantly.

The others' levels were too low, and they didn’t have a chance to defend. But Grandfather Yan was prepared. When he saw Ye Zhongming move, his body changed. His muscles started to swell, bones expanded, and his mouth grew. He activated his bloodline.

“Werewolf Bloodline?”

Ye Zhongming recognized it. This was one of the more common bloodlines of his last life. It was strong at advanced grades but average at the low and intermediate grades.

Grandfather Yan waved his hands toward Ye Zhongming. Those hands were now sharp claws.

But he underestimated his speed. When he was about to touch Ye Zhongming’s body, that person sidestepped and dodged his hand before knocking into his arms.

Grandfather Yan felt pain in his stomach, and his body flew backward. He stumbled twice before he knocked into the stone pillar. He wanted to do something, but his neck felt tight. A hand was there, and it was raising him.

The lack of oxygen caused him to struggle, but very quickly, his body felt powerless.

“You aren’t a spy from above? Then can you tell your subordinates why you are hiding your evolution level? You aren’t five-star but six! Although you are six-star, you are weak.”

The subordinates who heard those words stopped.

Grandfather Yan was six-stars?

Shouldn’t he be five stars?

These people saw his gaze change and knew that it was the truth. His eyes panicked after he was exposed.

“To ensure that the people help them collect stone pearls and prevent people from working together to charge out, they sent you here, right? I guess you have a bad relationship with the other factions, which would cause some friction with them. You might even disappear to enjoy life above for some time, right?”

People might not notice when you don’t expose it, but once someone talks about it, everyone thinks about things that they haven’t paid attention to before.

A green dagger appeared in his other hand. He waved, and Grandfather Yan’s hand was sliced.

“Tell me everything you know, and I won’t kill you. If not, you will lose more parts of your body.”

………………………………………………………………

People in the third mine went mad. This was what other connected mines thought.

For some reason, the people from the third mine started to move in groups of 20. They found the bosses of each faction and spread a message that shocked everyone.

Someone could help them escape!

Of course, this was what Ye Zhongming did after controlling Grandfather Yan’s men. He wanted to gather everyone together.

Of course, he was busy, too. He personally went to the fourth mine and found Lin Yixun. After getting him, he told him a location to gather all the faction heads.

Will those bosses come? Ye Zhongming believed they would. Be it those trapped here or the spies, they would all come.

The former had hope and the latter would because they had a job.

When the bosses of the four mines digested the information and led people to the location, they saw Grandfather Yan’s corpse. After entering the stone hall, they also saw many body parts around.

Many people recognized that these people who were disfigured and killed were the cannibals Black Dog and his subordinates.

When they looked at the young man standing in the center of the corpses, who was not even covered in a single drop of blood. They knew that this wasn’t a prank and that something would happen.

Threaten first and tempt after. Things were smooth, and those bosses agreed.

Ye Zhongming was not afraid of spies. He found out from Zhang Xintai and Lin Yixun that the bosses of all the factions in the mines were there. Since that was the case, he told them to beware of people around them and that those who disappeared were traitors. That made them monitor each other.

Whoever destroyed their freedom was the biggest enemy.

Ye Zhongming led them to clear the various mutated lifeform caves and then collect the stone pearls. The bosses’ old stash was also his. All he did was pay with some white equipment.

When he felt like he had enough, he set a signal to the bosses and then used the opportunity where they traded with those above to sneak out.

The level five evolved at the cave entrance was too weak for him.

Ye Zhongming was able to breathe fresh air and felt better. He robbed the stone pearl storage he had learned about from Grandfather Yan and obtained some stone pearls. He then headed to other places and didn’t find anything. Now, he knew that it was time to head to Bright Water World.
