Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 661: Same source lifeform

What level do you think the Death King Tree is now?

Ye Zhongming didnt know how to reply. He thought about it before saying, At least level seven.

Ye Zhongming instinctively avoided fighting the Death King Tree because of that. Now that the treant was asking, he was unsure what the Death King Trees actual level was.

Level eight.

The treant gave a clear answer that shocked Ye Zhongming.

The Pliosaurus was also level eight, but it was an ocean beast. In the vast ocean, the number of lifeforms was many times that of land, so their evolution speed being so quick wasnt a surprise.

Ye Zhongming believed, and it wasnt confirmed in his last life, but the first level nine lifeform should be in the ocean.

But there was actually a level eight lifeform on land?

It might be possible in primitive forests where mutated lifeforms were common. Mutated plants and mutated animals would kill one another, and there was a chance something would climb to level eight. But could a city closed for more than half a year give rise to a level eight lifeform?

Before Ye Zhongmings questions could be answered, the treant gave shocking news.

If it eats me, it might get to level nine!

Impossible.

Ye Zhongming denied it instinctively. He had never heard of a mutated lifeform that could act as a potion! Eat you and become level nine? It sounded like a game.

It is possible. We have the same source. If I absorb it, I might get from five-star evolved to six, even seven. On the other hand, if it absorbs me, I might help it cross the level eight to nine gap. That is the power of the source!

I have to leave this place because of that. I am afraid that I would turn into a tree without a mind. I am also afraid of dying.

Ye Zhongming stopped speaking because what the treant mentioned was possible. In his last life, the heaven tree that occupied an entire city got to level nine in a short time. Didnt it cause all life in the city to disappear? Maybe it absorbed another lifeform similar to the treant, so it reached level nine.

One would always have suspicions about things they didnt know, which would cause disbelief.

We have the same source; if I try to hide, it is hard for it to find me. The treant pointed at the branches, I made those, and they arent from the Death King Tree.

Ye Zhongming nodded and understood why this place was so hidden.

I worked in this lab in my last life. he smiled bitterly. I was the prodigy; I finished my master's at 22 and studied for my Ph.D. while working.

So I am a human even if I dont look like one. He raised his voice, I wont use the lives of fellow humans to help me evolve.

Even if you dont believe me, I am a prodigy. I am very smart. Even if I turn humans into dried corpses and collect their crystals to evolve, how long can I do that? This place is closed, and there arent many people. Moreover, I am not invincible here. My escape plan also needed a lot of help, so why would I do that?

As for the hard disk, these are just some materials. Even if I give it to you, you wont understand it. These were some results from the lab previously; I have been studying them after being trapped. He waved his body, Anyways, I am just like this. I am full of mental energy and must rest for only an hour daily. If I dont find something to do, I would be bored to death.

He used this method to answer Ye Zhongmings questions. Ye Zhongming didnt say anything. There was some movement on the side, and wariness appeared on his face.

No worries, it should be someone on my side.

The treant said hurriedly and stopped Ye Zhongmings attack. The twins stood beside him.

The ground beside the lab moved, and the brick was pushed aside. A guy and a girl appeared from behind the bricks.

You?

They exclaimed when they saw Ye Zhongming standing there.

Ye Zhongming had met them before. They were the duo that bought the Death King Tree seeds. Their appearance here made Ye Zhongming understand that the news about using the seeds to craft equipment was fake. It was because the treant needed the seeds to slow down his transformation.

Ye Zhongming was also sure that the treant wanted to flee. He didnt want to turn into the Death King Trees food and was using other evolved to be his cannon fodder so it could escape.

It might not have lost its humanity and wouldnt kill humans to evolve, but it wasnt merciful. It would sacrifice and make use of others to reach its goals.

That was normal in the apocalypse. Without those reasons from before, Ye Zhongming would have been suspicious.

He looked at the tunnel to the lab, and it was hidden. It should be connected to the underground city.

I still need this. I might not understand, but my people would. Ye Zhongming placed the hard disk into his space. The treant didnt stop him but just said that things were very complicated and people who werent professionals wouldnt understand.

Have you heard of Liu Zhenghong? Her grade in your field should be higher than yours, right?

When he heard her name, his body shook, You are talking about teacher Liu?

Do you know her?

She gave a lecture in my school! The treant got emotional, She is your subordinate?

Ye Zhongming nodded, You can say that.

Then, bring me to see her. I have things that I need her help.

He pinched his chin and looked at the treant, Are you sure you want to find Liu Zhenghong?

Sure!

Okay, then I promise you. He smiled. But that smile seemed like an animal to the treant.

Fox!

Ye Zhongming used his actions to tell the treant that his feelings were right.
