Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

Chapter 229: Chapter 128: Level 2 Zombie 2

Translator: 549690339

“I need to go back and rest a bit.”

Wang Tao said.

“Okay.”

The group searched the sealed off area again to ensure no zombies remained before they left.

Ren Jie broadcasted in the base that Shao Yong had been killed by several committee members working together, and everyone no longer needed to worry about his sneak attacks.

Once this news was announced, the hunters all breathed a sigh of relief.

They had been on edge these past few days while outside, but now they could finally feel at ease.

However, Ren Jie also announced another piece of news, stating that Level 2 Zombies had appeared outside, advising everyone to be cautious.

Ren Jie took the opportunity to explain the meaning of Level 1 and Level 2. Ordinary people have no rank, and only after becoming ability users do they become Level 1 ability users. Level 2 represents an even stronger existence than Level 1!

The news of Level 2 zombies immediately tightened the atmosphere.

Many of them didn’t actually know how powerful zombies were, only that ordinary zombies were very strong, and Elite Zombies were much stronger than ordinary ones.

But now, they knew that the Elite Zombies they had seen were actually just Level 1 Zombies. So just how strong were Level 2 Zombies?

Zombies were getting stronger, and they needed to become stronger too! Otherwise, not to mention killing zombies, the risk of going out to scavenge for supplies had also increased!

Quite a few hunters silently resolved to quickly improve their strength, hoping to be selected by the committee to become ability users!

Only by becoming ability users would they qualify to survive in this post- apocalyptic world!

Once Wang Tao returned home, he finally felt somewhat sleepy; the spirit boosted by the Rejuvenation Potion was about to run out.

“No good, too sleepy! Sister-in-law, I’ll take a nap…”

Not bothering to say much more, Wang Tao collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep.

“Alright!”

Ding Yuqin knew this was a process of power upgrading, and she was genuinely happy for Wang Tao from the bottom of her heart.

Now with 1000 HP, she had a lot more strength, and she laboriously lifted Wang Tao onto the bed. After all, sleeping on the sofa wasn’t comfortable.

Time passed without her noticing, and finally, Wang Tao woke up. He felt a bit thirsty, then saw a glass of water being handed to him.

“Sister-in-law, how long did I sleep?”

Wang Tao glanced at Ding Yuqin, who was sitting by the bed keeping him company.

“Still the same as before, three hours,” Ding Yuqin looked at the wall clock, then added, “I’m going to make dinner now!”

“Mm, go ahead.”

After Ding Yuqin left, Wang Tao stretched and then clenched his fists.

“I’ve gotten stronger!”

Wang Tao was a bit excited but not inflated.

The outcome of Shao Yong was the result of arrogance, and he needed to always remember this lesson.

Then Wang Tao turned his attention to the Loot Pack he obtained after killing Shao Yong today.

The situation this time was a bit different because Wang Tao had killed Shao Yong twice!

Once as a human and once as a zombie!

This situation left Wang Tao quite baffled. If it weren’t for seeing his HP increase and the Loot Packs, he might not have even noticed this fact—he had an HP increase twice and obtained two packs!

If he remembered correctly, his maximum HP was 3740 up until yesterday.

After killing Shao Yong, it suddenly increased to 3940!

In other words, killing Shao Yong earned him an additional 200 HP limit, which was more than any zombie he had previously killed!

Wang Tao guessed that the amount of increased HP limit was likely related to the strength of his opponent. Considering Shao Yong’s strength, although adding 200 HP limit was a lot, it seemed reasonable.

However, Wang Tao soon realized that these 200 HP really weren’t that much! Because when he killed Shao Yong the second time, or more accurately, when he killed Zombie Shao Yong, the added HP limit was even more terrifying- directly an additional 960!

Wang Tao was taken aback and then saw his health bar suddenly surge a small segment, from 3940 to 4900!

He was just 100 HP limit short of reaching 5000!

5000 HP was most likely the threshold between Level 1 and Level 2. If he could reach 5000 HP, he might be a Level 2 ability user!

He dtdn’ t know why Zombie Shao Yong added so much HP, but there were only two possible explanations: Either killing a Level 2 zombie naturally yielded more HP, or killing a zombie above your level granted extra HP.

As for which was correct, he could only observe more in the future.

But regardless, seeing his own [4900/4900] HP, Wang Tao was still somewhat excited.

The missing 100 HP could potentially be made up in just one morning with good luck or possibly in one day with less fortune. His 5000 HP was all but assured!

Then Wang Tao turned his attention to the other loot.

He hadn’t had the chance to examine the pack dropped by Shao Yong the first time he was killed. When he looked now, it was a bit beyond Wang Tao’s expectations.

There were four Crystal Cores!

[Level 1 Crystal Core – Strength]

[Level 1 Crystal Core – Loose Tongue]

[Level 1 Crystal Core – Throwing Master]

[Level 1 Crystal Core – Rejuvenation]

These were light green Crystal Cores with no side effects and a 50% fusion success rate.

Wang Tao had never before found Crystal Cores in the packs he exploded, but he hadn’t killed many people either-only two ability users, Cao Xin and Shao Yong.

What Cao Xin exploded into was Slime Grenades, but at that time Cao Xin had just over two hundred HP, merely a weakling compared with the now four thousand plus HP Shao Yong. Hence, no comparison was possible.

Wang Tao speculated that these four Crystal Cores must be the four abilities Shao Yong had learned. This was consistent with his previous speculation- Shao Yong had four abilities, and each one was fused with ten Crystal Cores, which accounted for his 4000 Mana.
