Apocalypse Gachapon

The cold wind blew and swept Hundred Hole Swamp, covering this dungeon that did not truly exist in a layer of cold.

But the cold wind didn’t scatter the mist. The mist connected heaven and Earth; it was as if there were no sky, but also, like everything was the sky.

Numerous holes popped up around the swamp, lined up in an orderly manner, and looked like giant mouths that swallowed people.

“Can you even do it? We have been stuck here for dozens of hours and failed repeatedly. Will we still be here when Bright Water World closes?”

A guy frowned and was unhappy with a red-haired woman. He scolded her.

The woman had a blanket over her and was slightly shaking. Her red hair had a layer of white frost and dripped water. It was the effect of the ice melting.

Beside this red-haired woman was another woman with a good figure. When she heard that guy talk like that, she retorted, “Zhang Zhongzhen, you do know how many times Gan Lan has gone, and she is risking her life each time. It isn’t because she didn’t try, even if she didn't succeed. It is because it is too tough.”

The woman got angrier and continued, “If you think she can’t do it, then send someone yourself or head down alone. What is the point in blaming her? We are noobs, and the resistance zone is strong; how about that?”

The two women were Gan Lan and Mei Na, whom Ye Zhongming met in Linhai Ghost City. They knew each other before the apocalypse and were both trapped in Linhai. They looked past their differences and reconciled to build a battle squad named after the two of them-- Nalan.

Ye Zhongming helped them with potions, and the two of them were the bosses of the battle squad, so their foundations were good. After the new squad was built, things progressed smoothly.

Because of their good foundations, they were even in the overall strength rankings. Although they were ranked at the back, it was decent.

But Nalan’s strength was that their strength was evenly spread, and their weakness was that their solo combat strength didn’t stand out.

They received a special invitation to the Bright Water Feast.

This invitation was prepared for a specific dungeon. To use the person’s special features to conquer the resource point. Five Ring Money analyzed all the resource points and devised an accurate solution.

Nalan was invited because of Ganlan’s Rhythm Observation, which was very suitable for the swamp. Thus, they received really good treatment. When Ye Zhongming sat on the fishing boat to get to Bright Water World, they were the ones on the luxurious yacht.

But things weren’t as simple as they thought after entering the swamp. There were some issues with Gan Lan’s job.

Ye Zhongming had talked about this problem before. Rhythm Observation allowed one to be very sensitive to everything. It could even help the user cover their tracks, and it was suitable for assassins. It was one of the valuable support jobs.

Gan Lan was very lucky to get it, but her main job was the fire element-- Soul Burner, a pure fire elemental job similar to Flame Elf. But it couldn’t transform. Each second, her body would surge with flame energy, making her easily noticed.

Her main and support jobs didn’t complement each other; they conflicted instead.

This situation happened because of that conflict.

Facing the brutal words of this young guy, the hot-tempered Gan Lan surprisingly didn’t retort. She slightly shook her body as if she had no energy to argue.

Mei Na glanced at her good friend, and sadness flashed in her eyes.

Although the Nalan Battle Squad seemed strong, as they didn’t have any standout combat strength and the leaders were female, they reached a bottleneck.

The apocalypse was much darker than peacetime. In the past, if two beautiful women opened a company, they would be protected by the law, and people with bad intentions would be warded off.

But there were no rules in the apocalypse. Two beautiful women were so valuable. They didn’t have any guns, just blades. To some factions, they were pieces of fat meat. If done well, they would get both people and money.

Under such a situation, what could stop those factions from eyeing them?

Among these factions was the one that Zhang Zhongzhen represented. Or rather, the faction that his father represented.

Resistance Zone G Zone!

Mei Na and Gan Lan both felt huge pressure before coming here. They knew that dangers were slowly approaching and might land someday. When the time comes, they would only have two choices.

One was death, and the other was to end up as a toy.

They naturally weren’t willing to accept that.

Five Ring Money’s invitation gave them some hope.

Five Ring Money promised them a six-star potion if they did this well.

Although it looked like a six-star evolved was one of the strongest groups of people, the bosses of the top factions were already seven-star. There were over ten people on the solo rankings that were level seven.

But that number wouldn’t be in the high double digits. Even Five Ring Money or top ten super factions like the Resistance Zone only had a few seven-star evolved. If you looked at the entire country, a province would have around two people.

As long as they were six-star, they would have the strength to face Zhang Hetai. More importantly, only by reaching six stars could they quickly clear mutated lifeforms of the same level and let another person turn into six stars.

If they had two six-stars, they would be able to protect themselves.

Plans were ideal, but reality was cruel. They thought that since Five Ring Money felt they could solve the problem, things wouldn’t be too different. After appearing, they realized Rhythm Observation was useful, but… her flame job broke that advantage.
