Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 679: Advanced intelligence

contemporary romance

Ye Zhongming felt calm when he faced the Death King Tree.

The curiosity about Linhai and his guilt that he couldnt protect Gaye was tossed behind his head. He knew this Death King Tree was different from all lifeforms he had met.

How is this face? I selected from tens of thousands in Linhai and chose the one that best fits humans sense of beauty. Beautiful right? Such a beautiful female.

After the face said those words, it gave a weird smile and started speaking smoothly.

Selected from thousands, that is a phrase, right? the human face moved on the trunk. It spoke quickly and clearly.

Oh, right. You humans dont call it female; it should be called... woman, right?

Ye Zhongming bit his teeth and realized that he couldnt retort.

When you searched for a plant but found that it could actually speak to you in your language, it felt as if you had met a stray dog and the dog asked you if you had already eaten.

Weird and preposterous.

One had to admit that this face was beautiful, be it the features or the face shape. Out of all the women that he had seen before, only that woman who used Yangos as a mount was comparable.

But, even when such a beautiful face was placed on the trunk of a giant tree, no matter how well it merged with the bark, it still looked weird.

This was a transfer of genes!

Ye Zhongming didnt feel it was beautiful at all. Instead, he felt disgustedmore disgusted than he felt at the sticky liquid lake.

Do you have a woman?

Ye Zhongming had an urge to turn and flee.

Unfortunately, I cannot merge with a human body fully.

En, humans might not use that phrase. What is it called? Let me think.

Death King Tree continued her naggy journey.

Your sister!

Ye Zhongming couldnt take it and charged toward the Death King Tree.

I dont know what you said.

Death King Trees voice replicated perfectly and was even acting cute.

Take a look; these are your friends, right? Dont be rash, or they will all die.

The membrane showed an unclear scene of Cloud Peak entering Linhai. Many Life-Taking Carrots were attacking them, but this didnt cause much of a threat. The first team had already broken into Linhai.

Ye Zhongming stopped. He looked at the blurred image above in shock.

The membrane was not equipment; at most, it was just a body part of the Death King Tree. It probably formed such images using light or other projections.

But for a mutated lifeform to use such methods, that would shock even a nine-star evolved.

Ye Zhongming didnt suspect whether or not the scenes were real or fake. He knew what they were like and what habits they had. The Death King Tree couldn't replicate those details.

Also, his subordinates actually ignored his orders to enter Linhai. Did something happen?

Actually, there is no King Death Tree or Life-Taking Carrot. Only you, Roselle Cedar. Right?

Ye Zhongming stopped looking at the broadcast and turned towards that face, which should have been beautiful but was really weird.

It was obvious that shock appeared on its face. The Death King Tree not only learned language but also how to use expressions.

How Did you find out?

Ye Zhongming smiled and mocked, There are many gaps you didnt notice.

Tell me!

A crazed expression appeared on its face. It was obvious that its emotions became unstable.

I dont know if you have learned how humans deal with each other. For example, trading.

What do you mean?

Ye Zhongming paid attention to their situation while thinking about his subsequent actions.

I can tell you how I guessed it, but you must tell me things I want to know.

Ye Zhongmings tone was firm, but he knew he was just probing it. He was probing if the Death King Tree was as interested in humans as it seemed. This concerned whether or not the two of them would fight.

Tell me about it.

Ye Zhongming said calmly, What is Life Brain?

There were rumors of a treasure in Linhai, and at first, many believed it. So many people would enter during Feasting Day to search for the treasure. That was how Yang Yixi, Ah Hai, etc, ended up here.

As time passed, people outside believed it was true, but those inside felt they were being lied to. This was until someone found a treasure near the Death King Trees body; he called it Life Brain.

This news caused a commotion in the city. Many people who hadnt given up came to the core area to test their luck. Many entered, but few got out.

One person was an exception, but he died previously. He was Gaye.

Thus, everyone calmed down and stopped having any hope.

Life Brain? Death King Trees main body looked at Ye Zhongming and blinked, Let me think. You know that I know some human terms; I need to En Merge memory.

I need time to think; why not tell me how you noticed that the Death King Tree and Life-Taking Carrot are mine?

Ye Zhongming thought about it and nodded, Very simple. Even if the world has changed, things are the same. The food chain is still the same, but it is even stricter and crueler. You can eat others and turn this city into something that can threaten other evolved and mutated lifeforms. That can show your strength. Would you allow some other lifeform that is as strong to surround you and the others?

A mountain cant contain two tigers. That phrase must exist in the brains that you have swallowed.

The human face thought about it and nodded, Makes sense, but it is not enough.

I heard that Linhai survivors have described what the Death King Tree looks like. They even drew simple pictures. Not only do you have branches but also leaves.

Everything then was different. The leafs shapes differ from the Life-Taking Carrot's, but you came from outside and are not from Earth. Your gene is stable. Those leaves wouldnt disappear for no reason and would get stronger with you. Where did they go? Wasnt the Life-Taking Carrot a good explanation? Moreover, you have said the answer. If the Life-Taking Carrot is not a part of you, how would you use them to threaten my team?

Ye Zhongming paced around, and his body leaned forward to get close. He stared at that face to judge its current state.

Seeing that it was deep in thought, Ye Zhongming took a few more steps and said, Also, Linhai underground city and the survivors are all your sheep. If you are willing, you can kill them all, right? Roselle Cedar Beauty?
