Chapter 101 Hand Crossbow Blueprint, Classification of Zombies_1

[Precision Hand Crossbow Blueprint: This blueprint allows you to craft a Precise Crossbow. Required materials: any Bow xi or Crossbow xi, Blade x3, Steel Wire x3, Screws x3, Nails x3, Rubber x3]

[Precise Crossbow: Durability +20, Attack Power +10, Accuracy +10]

The first blueprint was for crafting a hand crossbow.

To make this crossbow, he would need either a bow or a crossbow; fortunately, he had three bows at hand, which was more than enough.

Although the description of the crossbow was brief and he didn’t know how it would perform yet, Wang Tao wasn’t picky because items crafted from blueprints and items dropped from monsters could all be stored in the Space Backpack!

This portability was even more important than the properties of the hand crossbow itself.

Next came the accompanying blueprint for crossbow arrows.

[Crossbow Arrow Blueprint: This blueprint allows you to craft loo Crossbow Arrows. Required materials: Blade xio, Iron Block xio, Plastic xio]

This blueprint would enable him to instantly create 100 crossbow arrows, and the required materials were simple, only three types. However, he would need a larger quantity of each, ten in total.

Wang Tao checked the spoils in his backpack. He had enough materials to craft the hand crossbow, but not enough for the arrows; he was short by three Blades. Thus, he couldn’t craft them yet and would have to kill a few more zombies first.

The above two spoils of war were blueprints, while the last three items were actual objects dropped from zombies!

Zombies that could wield weapons would drop them upon death, and these weapons could also be stored in the Space Backpack.

Therefore, after killing an Archer Zombie, Wang Tao immediately stored the bow, arrows, and quiver in his Space Backpack.

However, these weapons didn’t display any attributes. They were just like the Reinforced Concrete Hammer, only showing a name—

[Alloy Recurve Bow xi][Quiver xi][Arrows X30]

The Alloy Recurve Bow was completely decked in matte black, looking very cool.

A certain famous person once said that in military equipment, aesthetics are a form of strength.

Powerful weapons usually don’t disappoint in terms of looks. This bow was surely no exception.

Not just the bow, but the 30 arrows could also be put inside the Space Backpack. While 30 might seem a bit low, they were recoverable; with some care, they could last a long time.

However, the fact that even the quiver could be put into the backpack was somewhat unexpected for Wang Tao. To him, the quiver didn’t seem that useful… after all, he could store arrows in the backpack and retrieve them from the Space Backpack when needed.

Wang Tao thought the only purpose of the quiver seemed to be to deceive others—if in the future he could gain more arrows and carry this quiver on his back. In front of others, he could pretend to take arrows from the quiver, when in fact, he was getting them from the Space Backpack… then he could perform a trick called “infinite arrows”!

These were future considerations, though. As cool as the recurve bow was, Wang Tao’s archery skills were rather poor. He would have to gradually improve his bow and arrow techniques.

For now, the hand crossbow seemed more suitable for him, and he was very much looking forward to seeing the final product once crafted.

“The Mad Demon Zombies outside haven’t left yet…”

Han Rui said somewhat helplessly as she looked at the zombies outside the window.

These zombies seemed to have not noticed them inside the house, but they still hadn’t left.

Li Qiuyu didn’t look too good either. If these zombies didn’t leave, it would be a significant danger for her as well…

“Don’t worry, as long as we don’t make too much noise, we can deal with these zombies slowly,” Wang Tao suddenly said.

His reluctance to confront the Mad Demon Zombies was mainly due to the fear that fighting could attract more, and if he were attacked by a large group, even the strongest defenses would be worn down.

But if there was no additional reinforcement for these zombies, just the ones that had climbed into the yard, then Wang Tao could take them on one group at a time.

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s words, Han Rui immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t have the power to deal with so many zombies and had to rely on Wang Tao.

Nonetheless, the two of them didn’t leave in the end.

Because Han Rui suddenly perceived three special infected zombies around the house, two of which were Self-exploders. The other zombie made Wang Tao frown.

“A Screamer… It has become a special infected zombie too?”

Wang Tao had encountered Screamers before, but back then, a Screamer had only 200 HP, and he had simply run it over with his car.

This Screamer below had 1,000 HP!

And a Screamer’s 1,000 HP wasn’t even the main point; the key issue was that it had become a “special infected zombie”.

The term “special infected zombies” is a conventional moniker agreed upon by survivors. They refer to any zombie that’s different from Ordinary zombies as special infected zombies.

For example, the Zombie Guide provided by the military forces lists special infected zombies that are confirmed.

However, there’s a difference between special infected zombies. Zombies like the Screamers, Hiders, and Sprinters that Wang Tao previously encountered were also special infected, but their HP wasn’t high, and their abilities weren’t too strong, so they were relatively easy to deal with.

On the other hand, zombies like Terrorizers, Self-exploders, and Attackers were discernibly harder to cope with; they had higher HP, and their capabilities were stronger.

Another important distinction lay in the drops—

The less formidable special infected zombies would not drop a Crystal Core when killed, and they had a high probability of dropping potions when defeated by Wang Tao.

But these formidable special infected zombies would drop a Zombie Core upon death. When Wang Tao killed them, not only might they drop potions, but they could also drop Blueprints.
