Apocalypse Gachapon C.959: Cannot afford

Ye Zhongming suspected that Ghost Metal was connected to the Chain Prisoner’s body. That was because the Ghost Metal that he had sliced at the apocalypse's start had returned to normal.

He didn’t know the reason, but he had two probable answers.

One was that as the Chain Prisoner’s evolution level increased, the metal chains on it would recover. So when he saw it, the shorter chain would return to normal.

Another that was even bolder. The Ghost Metal was something that grew inside the Chain Prisoner’s body.

He wasn’t sure of the answer before he killed it. Now, it was time to solve the mystery.

Ye Zhongming stared at it for a long time before breathing out.

The Ghost Metal was connected to the Chain Prisoner’s bones.

This monster’s bones were different from human bones. Ye Zhongming wasn’t interested in studying its bones, but when he saw those chains connected to the bones, it proved that his second guess was correct. freewebnσvel.cøm

He was sure that the metal grew from the bones because not only were they connected, but there was even a color change where they connected.

The bones were white with red spots. Every few parts, there would be a circular base. That base was still white with red spots, but as you went up, the color got darker. The red spots would then disappear and then turn into Ghost Metal.

They were one.

If this didn’t prove that the Ghost Metal grew from the bones, then what could prove it?

The level nine old man at Blue Secret Realm put Ye Zhongming under huge pressure, which was why he chose to kill the Chain Prisoner to get its resources. But if it was possible, he rather nurture it and use it as a Ghost Metal production plant.

But he was forced to attack. Moreover, he was glad he made that choice.

The level eight Chain Prisoner was already so strong. What if it reached level nine? Who could restrict it?

In his last life, three nine-star evolved had to work together to kill it. One of them received unhealable injuries and died from it early.

Things changed in this life. The time it took for it to get to level nine was delayed, but it was still on the brink. Once it got to level nine, if Cloud Peak and Ye Zhongming didn’t get to nine-star, they would lose their control over it.

Rather than the uncertain future, it was better that they attacked now. At least, it would help their current situation.

Of course, Ye Zhongming regretted that he couldn’t get an unlimited supply of Ghost Metal. This material was something that he couldn’t get away from. All his good equipment had this material added into.

Although he obtained so many at once, which was enough for a long time, but it would run out someday. What happened then?

He touched the part where the Ghost Metal and bones connected and was stunned.

He touched his chin to think about it. Then, he touched the entire bone structure like a chiropractor. The people around didn’t know what he was doing, so no one disturbed him.

When he finished, his eyes lit up.

He told the others to return to work and collect the organs and blood vessels. He then told them to leave. Only a few Cloud Peak core members remained.

“Did you notice something?’

Miya walked to his side. She hugged his arm while asking gently. His arm sunk deep into her big chest.

Liang Chuyin taught her that, and she said that all guys loved it. As she was slightly bigger, she had the skill to do it.

Out of Ye Zhongming’s few women, only Xia Lei and Miya could do it.

“These bones are alive.”

The people around were shocked. The core members who wanted to leave and not disturb the two of them returned immediately and waited for Ye Zhongming to continue.

Ye Zhongming was helpless when he saw these fellows who were holding blades now giving out various expressions.

Shouldn’t only people like Liu Zheng Hong be interested in this?

But they were all loyal to him, so he didn’t hide anything from them.

“I can sense lifeforce on the bones. It doesn’t belong to the Chain Prisoner but themselves.”

Although they had seen many weird things in the apocalypse,, this was the first time they heard of bones having their own life. This made their bodies numb.

If your own bones were another lifeform… Weren’t they similar to parasites?

“Ghost Metal is a product of this lifeform. Of course, it can also be an excretion.”

Ye Zhongming came to this conclusion, which was why he was excited.

If this thing was alive, didn’t that mean that he could nurture them?

He touched more bones and realized another thing.

These lifeforms were weakening.

The speed was slow, and you might not even sense it if you don’t pay close attention.

Ye Zhongming told them to get water, and he placed a bone in it. He waited and felt that the life energy was still disappearing.

He switched it with soil, but it still didn’t work.

He then called Liu Zhenghong over to study it. They switched the medium to nutrient liquid, and it didn’t work either.

Liu Zhenghong was a professional, and she came up with many suggestions that Ye Zhongming didn’t know about. But after the experiments, it still couldn’t stop the lost of life.

Everyone knew that once the life was lost, the bones would totally die, and the Ghost Metal wouldn’t be able to continue growing.

“Get some flesh and blood!”

Ye Zhongming thought about one possibility. He got them to bring some mutated lifeform flesh and blood. This caused Liu Zhenghong and him to heave a sigh of relief. The fresh blood and flesh that filled half a car was sucked dry by that portion of bones in just a few minutes. The life force of the bones increased by a little.

“Take some Chain Prisoner flesh and blood!”

They were using level five mutated lifeform flesh and blood so the energy wasn’t enough. Ye Zhongming wanted to try using the Chain Prisoner’s flesh.

Truth proved that it was much more effective. With the same amount, the bone took two hours to suck the meat dry.

He found the way to maintain the bones but the problem was that it was just a small portion of bones. How much flesh did he have to feed all the bones?

It seemed like this thing ate too much that even Cloud Peak couldn’t afford to feed it.
