Note From Developer: I’m a big fan of Chinese web novels, but I often came across great stories with poor translations. That’s why I started this website! My goal is to make this the best web novel translation site out there. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out on Discord or Instagram.

A burden following them had the audacity to claim that they weren't qualified to receive anything?
The members of the elite martial team exchanged glances and burst into laughter. If it weren't for the dangers lurking in the desolate land, their laughter would have been even louder and more unrestrained.
What time was it now? The apocalypse!
The entire world had fallen into chaos. At the onset of the apocalypse, under the attack of the Golden Holy Ship, humanity had immediately lost its ability to resist.
Now, zombies and mutated creatures roamed freely outside, with no laws, no rules, and even no bottom line. The strongest would dictate the terms, commanding others at will and even plundering lives without any responsibility.
In such a situation, how could an injured person, struggling to walk, discuss qualifications with others? Wasn't that the most ridiculous thing?
"You are not only injured, but your IQ is also impaired."
One person sneered maliciously, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Ye Zhongming's hands.
Currently, a Grade 2 Magic Crystal near Ying City could be exchanged for a brand new assault rifle and two boxes of ammunition, along with a twenty-pound bag of rice and two large barrels of water. If they encountered a more generous buyer, they might even get an extra two boxes of canned meat.
Food was manageable; if someone dared to fight and wasn't afraid of death, they could always acquire some. However, weapons were definitely rare. Firearms and ammunition were produced in very small quantities on the roulette, but what circulated in the market mainly came from nearby military forces, police, armed police, security companies, shooting clubs, shooting ranges, and arsenals—places not accessible to ordinary people, even if they were evolvers.
An ordinary person wielding a rifle, as long as they maintained a certain distance, could pose a lethal threat to a one-star evolver.
Thus, firearms had always been the most sought-after items, with some classic models valued almost the same as a One-Star Evolution Elixir.
And this heavily injured person had two Grade 2 Magic Crystals in his hands, which were essentially two of the best fully automatic rifles! If the team had these two guns, they could try to take down a lone Grade 2 lifeform!
Uncle Da's eyes turned somewhat cruel. He had seen this kind of situation before, and not just once. To be honest, he understood the state of humanity in such times. When everyone was doing their utmost to survive, once they obtained something good, no one would willingly let it go.
Not to mention what he had seen; Uncle Da himself had personally taken down three such naïve fools who didn't understand restraint.
It seemed that today he would have to take down another one.
"Please... don't do this, alright?" Candy was naive but not foolish; she understood what her teammates were about to do, and a look of pity appeared on her round face.
After speaking, seeing her teammates' blank expressions, she realized no one was listening to her. The little girl looked down and tried to persuade Ye Zhongming again.
"Just... just give them the two Grade 2 Magic Crystals; otherwise, otherwise..."
This made Ye Zhongming's goodwill towards Candy rise a bit more, but it also confirmed that this round-faced girl was more suited to stay in the lab.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Tian Jia stuffed a chunk of monster flesh into her mouth and then drew a dagger from her waist.
Ye Zhongming smiled and threw the two magic crystals onto the ground. At the sight, the others wore mocking and disdainful expressions.
Now you’re scared? I thought you were tough, but it turns out you withered at the sight of a dagger. But was that all? What were you doing just now? Even if you hand over the magic crystals now, you can't avoid a bitter lesson.
Tian Jia let out a chuckle, and seeing Uncle Da show no sign of stopping, she knew her uncle was on the same page as her, intending to teach this person a memorable lesson.
