Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 965: Red Hair that went out of control

The current Cloud Peak was in an industrial revolution state.

Due to the large need for defensive equipment in the Secret Realm, apart from certain groups, the crystal weapons lab stopped developing new weapons and fully focused on producing various weapons.

Giant bed crossbow, crystal weapon blueprints, crossbows, wooden spikes, traps… As long as they could help the city defense and even the fights, Cloud Peak was crafting them.

The gun production line that Mu Xinfei brought over was thrown into production—coal, fuels, metal, etc. Cloud Peak needed anything that had to do with crafting. Each day, large amounts of caravans would deliver these things to Cloud Peak.

A furnace had been set up near the downwind portion of Cloud Peak. It wasn’t huge, but the style was a little weird. After all, from the energy system to the execution system, there were too many traces of the wheel’s technology. This was very different from traditional Earth factories.

This was forced by reality. The apocalypse was chaotic, changing society's structure and technological system. Research and tech members weren’t common, so there was unavoidably a knowledge gap.

Only organizations and factions like the Glory Army or the Resistance Zone could maintain a perfect system.

Of course, when god closed a door, he would open a window.

The products of the wheel replaced the loss of technology. From small tools and light sources to generators, energy sources, large machinery, etc., they were all produced from the wheel.

Although there wasn’t much, which would mean that industrials and technology would weaken, it allowed organizations to maintain some modern production ability.

This was a hot spot of contention in the apocalypse.

Cloud Peak was trying to obtain these and bring in people with the knowledge. Although Ye Zhongming didn’t know what would happen in the future, at least for now, he had to maintain the needs of the crystal weapons lab and gun production line.

Compared to the buzz outside, Ye Zhongming’s villa was cold and quiet.

There would be some weird sounds from the closed door, and many spikes would pierce out from the new wooden door, leaving many holes.

Xia Lei and Liu Zhenghong looked at each other and were worried.

It quietened down. From the holes in the wooden door, they saw Red Hair sitting there and not moving.

The two of them entered, and it was a mess. Everything was shattered. The spikes that came from Red Hair’s body turned this place into a cave.

Since she covered for Ye Zhongming so he could enter the city, Red Hair’s injuries had fluctuated.

They thought she was fine, and she even led her subordinates to Ying City to plan to attack the rate horde. But at the start of the battle, Red Hair realized a problem. She retreated, which confused the Rat King.

After returning to Cloud Peak, Ye Zhongming, Park Xiuying, Liu Zhenghong, etc, did some tests but didn’t find the reason. Liu Zhenghong had spent a long time in the labs analyzing Red Hair.

“Did the black souls that could corrode mental energy cause this?”

Xia Lei and Red Hair had fought together before. After becoming Ye Zhongming’s woman, she had Ye Zhongming’s scent, so Red Hair treated her better than others.

Xia Lei and many from Cloud Peak had treated Red Hair as a partner.

After that weird ability hit her, Red Hair would lose control of the spikes. The spike storm that shattered everything in the room resulted from her losing control.

Although the spikes would just casually whip things, the gap between her losing control was getting shorter and shorter. Apart from spinning the One Step Wheel, Ye Zhongming headed to the Secret Realm to find some soul pearls to see if they could treat Red Hair.

Liu Zhenghong squatted down and looked at Red Hair. She sighed and took out a metal injector. She tapped Red Hair’s hand and then pressed it onto her arm.

“She just solved the problem with her eyes, and now she has lost control of her ability. This girl is really unlucky.”

The core members knew about what happened to Red Hair. Liu Zhenghong injected the liquid before keeping her stuff and chatting with Xia Lei.

The two of them walked out. Liu Zhenghong had just injected a nutrient potion to increase her body's energy, but it couldn’t stop her from losing control. So, it was better that they left quickly. If not, the moment she lost control, the two of them would have to defend.

But before they walked out of the room, there was some cracking from behind them. They turned their head and saw black lines on Red Hair’s human-like face. They stretched upwards from her neck and were about to reach her eyes.

At the same time, the spikes around started to move. They trembled, and many thin red lines appeared.

Red Hair’s symbol was her long hair, which was changing, too. Some leaves grew from them, making her look like a spikey flower.

“Not good; her gene is in chaos!”

Liu Zhenghong exclaimed. She didn’t investigate and just dragged Xia Lei out.

“Clear the area, get the main squad over. If Red Hair goes out of control, kill her. Also, head to the Secret Realm to get Ye Zhongming back!”

No one knew how much damage a level seven mutated lifeform with thousands of high-level subordinates would cause, especially since they were within Cloud Peak. If things went wrong, they might destroy everything Ye Zhongming had built up over the last two years!

Although Red Hair had followed Ye Zhongming since the start, but if she lost control, she would have to be killed.

Xia Lei nodded and gave the order. The entire Cloud Peak got to work.

Red Hair had charged through the roof and jumped to an empty piece of land. Hundreds of vines were dancing around her. Those zombies that were at the corner of Cloud Peak started to get violent. They broke out of the houses they were in and rushed to Red Hair.
