Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot
Chapter 395: Tide of Corpses_3Zhang Hong had previously said it was within her means, but now she was outright affirming her ability.
“Okay, then my request…” Wang Tao suddenly smiled while looking at Zhang Hong’s somewhat anxious face, “my request isn’t quite right now, we’ll talk about it when we’re safely settled.”
“Yes!”
Zhang Hong nodded vigorously.
Wang Tao left the grove.
Watching Wang Tao’s departing figure, Zhang Hong’s gaze was filled with gratitude.
No matter how precious these items were to Wang Tao, they were certainly valuable to her. She was someone who remembered kindness and sought to repay it, but unfortunately, she didn’t possess anything of value at the moment and could only look for an opportunity to do so later.
At night, Wang Tao was sleeping soundly in the vehicle when he suddenly felt someone tapping him. He instantly opened his eyes, a green glint flickering within them.
Jiang Shixue, who had snuggled up to him, had awoken at some point and was looking towards the east.
“Brother, zombies are coming.”Although Jiang Shixue didn’t have Perception Ability, her senses were very sharp. She could always sense it beforehand if powerful zombies or monsters were approaching.
Wang Tao first thought it was Night Demons, and if they were Night Demons, they’d have to move. After all, Night Demons are Level 3 Zombies who live in groups, and whether or not Wang Tao could handle them, others would definitely suffer.
However, when he looked towards the direction Jiang Shixue was pointing to, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s not Night Demons; just three Level 2 Zombies… No! There’s a large group of zombies following them!”
Wang Tao immediately turned on the vehicle’s intercom.
“Everyone, pay attention, a large number of zombies are attacking from the east! Everyone, pay attention, a large number of zombies are attacking from the east!”
Whoosh—
In the apocalypse, few people could sleep deeply, especially out in the wild. Instantly, everyone woke up.
Those who were on the night shift jumped with fright, for they hadn’t seen any zombies. But now it was very dark, their flashlights couldn’t reach far, and besides, these were words from Wang Tao, a Level 2 Ability User, so they definitely chose to believe him.
In a moment, an orderly bustle came from the temporary camp.
It had to be said that these “apocalypse nomads” were quite adept at handling such situations and quickly packed up, ready to evacuate at any time.
And at that moment, the zombies finally came into their field of vision.
“Damn! So many!”
Seeing the densely packed mass of zombies, everyone shivered.
Had it not been for Wang Tao’s warning, some of them would probably have perished here today!
“Retreat!”
Zhang Hong initially thought that with Wang Tao and Xu Xiaojun, two Level 2 Ability Users there, encountering more zombies wouldn’t necessarily mean an immediate retreat. But now, seeing so many zombies, she didn’t hesitate to call for everyone to withdraw!
It was nighttime, when the zombies were at their strongest and they at their weakest. Besides, killing ordinary zombies brought no benefit to these people. It was certainly best to leave.
Boom~
The roaring sound of the vehicles instantly attracted the zombies’ attention, and many zombies started to accelerate toward the convoy.
Wang Tao watched this scene with a sense of helplessness.
He had thought that the zombies had discovered the convoy and were attacking it. But it now seemed that the zombies had merely wandered into the area by chance during their nighttime roaming. This luck was just too poor!
He had witnessed several major zombie wanderings at night before, with the most memorable being the first time he saw them at the water plant. The oppressive feeling of the zombies at that time was still fresh in his memory.
The oppression from this group of zombies wasn’t particularly strong to Wang Tao, but he had no intention of showing off, especially since the Night Demons might be prowling around. If they were surrounded by Night Demons, it would be a huge problem.
However, not engaging with these ordinary zombies didn’t mean he would let go of the two Level 2 Zombies at the front.
“Little Jun, those two Level 2 Zombies are yours to handle.”
Wang Tao drove, speaking to Xu Xiaojun seated in the passenger seat.
Both zombies were Level 2, Elite Zombies with 10,000 HP, and with Xu Xiaojun’s current strength, taking on zombies of this level was naturally no problem.
“Sure, Brother Wang, you can count on me!”
Xu Xiaojun was somewhat eager to try; he hadn’t yet had the chance to test the power of his newly equipped mechanical right arm.
As these zombies had blocked the road at the village entrance, the convoy couldn’t merge onto the main road in time, so they had to drive into the wilderness for a while before finding a way to enter the highway.
Originally, the zombies were wandering on the main road. The noise of the vehicles starting had attracted them, so a part of the zombie horde broke off and chased after the convoy, including those two Level 2 Zombies.
“Quick, quick, quick!”
Yang Changhong, while watching the zombies behind, directed the convoy forward. Although she didn’t have the Night Vision Ability, she had scouted the area and was very familiar with the surroundings of the village.
Under her command, it didn’t take long for the convoy to successfully merge onto the highway.
But at this moment, everyone was not the slightest bit relaxed but rather felt their scalps tingle.
Even Wang Tao was somewhat shocked.
“Holy crap, why are there so many zombies!”
The highway was teeming with zombies, far more than he had estimated!
“This is a zombie tide!”
Xu Xiaojun, who was originally raring to go, subconsciously shrank his neck a bit.
He couldn’t see as wide a range as Wang Tao, but the range illuminated by other people’s flashlights was all zombies!
Luckily, Wang Tao discovered this early on. At the moment, there were no zombies ahead on the road. Had the discovery been made even a little later, the convoy might have been surrounded by zombies!
Seeing the road ahead was still relatively clear, Wang Tao immediately said:
“Little Jun, make it quick and decisive!”
“Yes!”
Wang Tao, bringing up the rear of the convoy, suddenly slowed down.
Xu Xiaojun quickly jumped out of the car, his left arm outfitted with a Mechanical Exoskeleton Arm, his right hand holding a worn Giant Axe.
Then he charged straight into the group of zombies behind him, smashing quite a few to pieces!
Xu Xiaojun swung the giant axe, releasing a Shockwave, killing a large swath of zombies.
At that moment, the two Level 2 Zombies both attacked him, but Xu Xiaojun immediately blocked their strike with his axe, then slammed his mechanical right arm down on one of the zombie’s heads. The Level 2 Zombie was knocked out cold!
Xu Xiaojun followed up with two more hits and swung his axe once more.
Pough!
The first Level 2 Zombie died.
Wang Tao’s eyes lit up from a distance.
“This mechanical arm is something else! It can knock out zombies so easily…”
Xu Xiaojun used the mechanical arm to fend off attacks while he dug out the Zombie Core. Using the same method, he knocked out the second zombie and quickly killed it.
After obtaining this Crystal Core, Xu Xiaojun released another Shockwave, shattering all the surrounding zombies, then charged toward Wang Tao’s off-road vehicle. In an instant, he was at the side of the off-road vehicle.
He opened the door and got in, all in one go. The car abruptly accelerated, chasing after the convoy ahead.
