Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 67: Horn sound from the candy shop

Green liquid turned into raindrops that covered the sky, hitting the soldiers who were at the front.

Tragic cries rang out.

Their uniforms didn’t defend them at all. The liquid corroded many huge holes the moment they touched it and caused a black smoke to rise up. Many soldiers tore their clothes but they realised that parts of their body were being corroded too.

Those worse ones couldn’t stand anymore. One could see white bones. In just a moment, they lost their breathing and became a pile of bones.

Ye Zhongming knew that these ants were called war ants for a reason. They had strong discipline and teamwork. They also had strong battle techniques.

Although they were level one but groups of them gathered and they could sweep high level beings.

In the last life, there was a terrifying record. Over a million of them wiped out a dungeon, turning that into a true death realm. Until a long while did adventurers realise that the dungeon was devoid of life. After investigating, they were shocked. One must know that the biggest lord of that dungeon was a level seven being. They were crushed by a million of these level-one ants.

Many ants can kill an elephant, that was a point that was proven in the apocalypse too.

Another of their strengths was that they evolved different abilities. For example the ants at the back that spat out acid, were Mage Ants who were in charge of ranged attacks. The acid was really strong and it was very corrosive. If a human got hit then they were probably dead unless you had special skills or jobs. Or if you reached six star.

Those soldiers charging at the front were called blade ants. They had sharp blades and thick shells and also quick speeds.

Apart from them, there was one called needle ant. Their ribs had black spikes growing out of them. They could fire out and were like crossbows. Moreover, they were silent so it would catch one off guard. The moment they fired, the needle ants would replenish them within a week.

The Mage Ants’ attacks ended and they bent back down. Instantly, blade ants guarded them. There was only a small number of them and their bodies were much weaker so they were the focus of protection.

After that wave, at least 20 warriors lost their lives. There were also some that lost their ability to fight. If the part that was corroded wasn’t dealt with, most of them would be handicapped for the rest of their lives.

The ants’ sudden attack messed up their tempo and the entire team started to be in chaos.

That was understandable. Modern armies hadn’t fought a war in a long time and they hadn’t seen blood. This armed force in the city was just a normal army that was in charge of defence and saving people during crises. They hadn’t fought any war before.

Now that they were seeing blood and were facing these monsters, performing so well was already commendable.

Taking the chance, the blade ants charged close and they waved their blades that shone a cold light under the sun.

Captain Ye and the commanders commanded them to prevent the blade ants from charging into their formation if not they would collapse! Those things could even slice the shells of the cars!

“Use the 85!”

Captain Ye ordered. Two army vehicles drove over with the W85 heavy machine gun. Four shooters equipped the bullets and started to fire at the ants.

A metal storm swept the Purple Cloud Ants. The moment these huge killing weapons that fired 80 shots a minute appeared, the battle was settled. The Purple Cloud Ants were strong but there wasn’t many of them. Hundred of them was not enough. Even the blade ants that had strong defence couldn’t block the w85 bullets.

One after another was being ripped up into pieces and those blade ants turned into disgusting bones.

But the victory wasn’t so easy. After a few meters, dozens of black shadows flew out from the ant group, using the dusk to shoot at the vehicles. The four shooters weren’t prepared and their bodies were pierced. Due to the momentum, they flew from the car and flew backward.

The firepower stopped and the soldiers were stunned. But the ants had expected it and attacked strongly once again.

The soldier was trying really hard. If they had a bit more training, they might be much stronger than now but they had never been through such cruel fighting and they also didn’t understand much about these monsters. After losing the cover of the machine guns and with the huge psychological effects of the situation, some Purple Cloud Ants charged into their forces.

After the few attacks, less than half of the Purple Cloud Ants remained, only around 40 were left. Some of them included the Mage Ants and needle ants that had used their attacks. So only 20+ ants charged into the army.

But these 20 of them caused huge casualties in just a short few seconds. The formation was weakened.

Ye Zhongming took a look at his left hand that was holding Moon Edge and was thinking about whether or not to help.

These soldiers were a special group. Their understanding and adapting to the apocalypse was slower than normal people but that didn’t prevent them from being one of the few groups he respected. If possible, he was willing to help them.

He took a short look and relaxed before noticing that something wasn’t right.

He crossed the battlefield and looked at the Captain who was standing on the vehicle. Ye Zhongming’s expression was ice cold.

He scoffed and stopped hesitating. He charged out and stuck close to the buildings as he moved towards the lake.

What he didn’t notice was that after he ran a hundred meters, that Captain Ye noticed him. He looked at his back view for a moment before looking away.

………………………………………………………………………………

The place where the Purple Cloud Ants and soldiers were fighting wasn’t far from Pearl Lake. Ye Zhongming turned a corner and saw the beautiful manmade lake.

He wanted to search for the candy shop but realised that things weren’t so easy. That was because not far from him were dozens of ants staring at him. They were the needle ants that had retreated as well as four blade ants.

Behind those ants was a small shop where several corpses flew out.

After this, Ye Zhongming heard the horn sound that made his expression change.

On the lake, that giant black hole actually expanded by several folds and a giant figure slowly walked out!
