Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1830: Earth Slave Race origin
Bang!
Ye Zhongming jumped down from a tree, making a loud noise, then began to flee rapidly without looking back.
This situation had persisted for nearly a day.
Both he and the pursuers behind him had reached the brink of exhaustion.
Ye Zhongming was fortunate; on the third day of entering the novice battlefield, the third negative effect of Naka’s curse caused him to lose his sense of smell.
Thus, he had lost smell, taste, and hearing, but retained the crucial senses of sight and touch.
However, this did not change his luck.
Originally, Ye Zhongming’s actions had been very precise and domineering. If not for this novice kill leaderboard, he might have been living quite comfortably.
However, due to this ranking, his location was exposed. Even without Kuma, Hawkins and the others could always find him.
The only good news was that the red dot showing his location was not very precise, only allowing others to know the general area within a few hundred meters.
Ye Zhongming used this to escape pursuit several times.
Killing the bent-over long-armed man, killing Kuma, killing the Netherrealm Star Domain native—the Cloud Peak King had taken full advantage in the early stages.
Being ambushed and surrounded by a group of lives of the same level, yet ultimately killing three of them, with his companion also tricking one to death—such results could be described as very glorious.
But Hawkins and his wife, Wade, and Yaka were chasing him like mad, not considering their own points at all, just determined to kill Ye Zhongming in this rainforest.
They were afraid.
They had to be afraid. If they left Ye Zhongming alone, who knew when this guy would appear again or when he would strike to kill?!
Moreover, being able to kill beings of the same level didn’t surprise them much; they could do it too. What they truly feared was the short time Ye Zhongming took to defeat peers of the same level.
Kuma and the Netherrealm Star Domain native were prime examples!
They asked themselves, ‘Could they do it?’ The answer was basically no.
Perhaps Hawkins and his wife could, but that would be based on their cooperation.
Whether it was Wade or Yaka, they all gave up the idea of killing Ye Zhongming alone to gain points. This guy was better off killed as soon as possible.
In just over two days, they never imagined the situation would be like this.
They were afraid that once the three-day period ended and Ye Zhongming returned to the camp, he would find a way to heal his injuries or even lift Naka’s curse. If that happened, along with that slippery companion Jie Kui, the ones being hunted might well be them.
Chase, discover, attack, maneuver, escape, then repeat.
And so, these people chased and fought for nearly a day.
Not to mention skill cooldowns, both physical strength and energy had reached their limits.
On a certain spacecraft, not as luxurious as the Huo’er Star people’s before, but not far off, and far from the shabbiness of the Star-Eye Clan.
Although there was no live broadcast of the entire process, through monitoring key locations and analyzing data, the people inside quickly learned what was happening.
“Investigate. Find out why this person from Earth, who has a grudge with Hawkins and his wife, is so strong! What is his relationship with the Star-Eye Clan? Entrusted training or something else? Also, release more spokespeople slots on Earth this time. I’m a bit curious about that place.”
An extremely burly man stood there with his arms crossed.
Compared to humans, his height and build were significantly larger.
“When have people from our Gold-Silver Island ever been taken down so easily!”
The man’s eyes flashed with light, and golden runes flickered on his body, very eerie and marvelous.
“Island Master, other matters will take time to investigate, but regarding the Earth that Hawkins and his wife and Ye Zhongming come from, there is one point I think is worth noting.”
Another older, burly giant stood behind the previous man, speaking respectfully. Like the man in front, he wore a cinched but very loose harem pants, bare-chested, with runes appearing on his body as he spoke. The difference was that his runes were made of gold and silver, interwoven.
“Oh? What is it?”
“Although the Slave Race on Earth is not yet mature, it belongs to a very special Space-type Slave Race. Among the parasites it produces, there is a very rare space-type parasite: Space No. 1 parasite, Lista.”
“Hmm?”
The Gold-Silver Island master turned around, looking surprisingly at his top subordinate.
“Continue.”
“The Space type Slave Races are very powerful, mainly because their space parasite Lista develops extremely quickly, basically allowing the main body to become mature in just a few cosmic years, or to have a full meal, accumulate energy, and seek out the next life star.”
“But this immature Slave Race on Earth has been there for seven Earth years, yet its… growth level is far below expectations.”
The Gold-Silver Island master nodded. “Either this Slave Race itself has problems, or the overall strength of Earth’s evolved is high, and they have purposefully cleaned up the parasites.”
“Yes,” the subordinate replied, but soon showed confusion. “But strangely, when the universe races allow the search for spokespeople, they never let the spokespeople provoke the parasites before becoming nine-star, because that would be like an egg striking a rock. Even if they kill the first batch, there will be a second. And the lives lost on the planet cannot be made up for in just a few years.”
“Since that’s the case, how did Earth people start spontaneously dealing with the parasites?”
The Gold-Silver Island master smiled. “You don’t think the Slave Race itself could have problems?”
“Yes, especially since this Slave Race is of the Space type.”
Seeing the Island Master had no intention to continue speaking, the subordinate added, “I suspect it is very likely that due to some accident, the Lista that appeared on Earth was killed.”
“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it mean that there might be quite a bit of Moonspan Gold on Earth now?”
“Yes, Island Master. So my suggestion coincides with yours. Whether due to Hawkins and his wife or not, we should increase our investment in the Earth. At the very least, we need to find and obtain the possible Lista corpse, then extract Moonspan Gold from it. That would be a considerable fortune.”
“Leave it to you to handle.”
“As you command, Island Master.”
……………………
After being chased for nearly a day, Ye Zhongming encountered a turning point, but for him, it was a bad turn.
Not far ahead in the direction he was fleeing, a squad was rapidly approaching, heading straight for him. Even when Ye Zhongming adjusted his direction, the other party adjusted theirs, clearly targeting him.
Ye Zhongming did not think that letting the group ahead meet the Hawkins group behind him would allow him to profit from their conflict. It was more likely that both sides would take him down together and then discuss how to divide his points.
He thought for a moment and changed direction again.
Whether he could survive this pursuit depended on this move!
