Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Entering Survivor Base_1

Aside from Han Rui’s Ability, Wang Tao was also very interested in her Hidden

Attributes.

He remembered clearly that when he saw Han Rui at the water plant before, she didn’t have any Hidden Attributes. At that time, Han Rui’s HP had already broken through a hundred, indicating that she had killed zombies. It seems her luck wasn’t that good.

Han Rui’s Hidden Attribute was quite interesting.

[Arrest: More likely to capture criminal suspects]

This Hidden Attribute looks pretty awesome, but now, in the post-apocalyptic world, it seems pretty useless, no? And how exactly is a ‘criminal suspect defined? Wang Tao himself has killed someone, although that person was a harmful lunatic, but according to the laws of peacetime, he would also be a suspect. But the problem is, there are no laws now…

Wang Tao didn’t understand, but if he had the chance in the future, he could observe it. After all, it was a Hidden Attribute.

As for the one at the bottom, [Internal Impurity: O%], that should be taken literally.

The Purity of a Level 1 Zombie Core is only 50%, the remaining 50% is impurities. Therefore, after fusing a Crystal Core, impurities will accumulate in the body, whether the fusion is successful or not.

■■O%” doesn’t mean there aren’t any, it’s probably rounded off. After all, after Wang Tao learned his Ability, he didn’t have the “Internal Impurity” attribute on his stats.

If Internal Impurity reaches 100%, one would probably completely turn into a zombie!

“…Okay, here’s what happened…”

After hesitating for a while, Han Rui still decided to speak up.

She felt that Wang Tao was most likely an Ability User himself, and she was still quite confused about this Ability thing. If she could communicate with a fellow Ability User, that would be quite nice.

“The female zombie that my husband and Ou Yingying disturbed before was obviously different from the other zombies. It was a head taller than ordinary zombies, and its appearance was particularly ferocious, its face was like that of a devil…”

“Most importantly, it walked without making a sound, and its senses were extremely sharp! I didn’t notice when it appeared at all. And when I took just one quiet step towards it, it discovered me! However, its target was very clear, aimed at the two people in the milk tea shop. If I hadn’t fired a shot, it might not have chased after me…”

“When it chased me, its speed wasn’t slow, but it didn’t know to dodge. After it followed me into the shop, I shot it in the head a few times, and then I blew its head off… But when it fell to the ground, a diamond-shaped red crystal fell from its shattered head and rolled to my feet. I didn’t know what was happening at the time, and when I saw the red crystal, I felt an urge to eat it, but it was covered in blood and looked disgusting…

“So, I washed it with water. After that, my body seemed to act on its own, and by the time I realized it, I had already swallowed the crystal… I didn’t even know if the crystal was cleaned properly, especially after I ate the crystal, I felt a blur before my eyes, and drowsiness hit me. At that time, I thought I was infected… In the last moments of consciousness, I was still regretting why I couldn’t control my own mouth…”

“Turns out, I wasn’t infected, I just fell asleep. But I slept for quite a long time, probably for about two or three days, and I didn’t feel any hunger either, then

Han Rui took a deep breath, a look of excitement on her face.

“Then I discovered that I had obtained a miraculous ability—I could vaguely sense the presence of several zombies outside the house!”

-I don’t know how to describe it to you, that feeling can’t be put into words, but

I could just sense that there were zombies outside and even discern their approximate numbers!”

At this point, Han Rui’s eyes sparkled brilliantly.

She had been quite desperate about the apocalypse, always forcibly supporting herself with her conviction. But now that she had acquired this Ability, she felt like she truly saw hope!

“The hefty zombie you killed seems to have appeared while I was asleep. After waking up, I could vaguely feel that it was next door to me, with only a thin brick wall between us… So I didn’t dare to make any rash moves, especially given its huge size. It’s a pity that I was ultimately discovered, even though I was cautious and always keeping an eye on it. But when it smashed through the wall, I couldn’t react in time and was sent flying…”

At this, Han Rui still seemed somewhat scared.

Her ability and combat capabilities were unrelated; it was a purely supportive power. Moreover, she was already injured, and her pistol was out of bullets, leaving her essentially powerless in combat. Had it not been for Wang Tao, another hit from a zombie would have sealed her fate.

“Thank you for saving me! I don’t have anything to give you in return right now, but once we get to the Survivor Base, I will find a way to repay you!”

Han Rui said to Wang Tao with utmost seriousness.

Wang Tao graciously accepted Han Rui’s thanks. As for repayment… was Wang Tao the kind of person who sought compensation?

“Alright, I’ll be waiting.”

“I definitely won’t go back on my word!”

After Han Rui made her promise, she asked curiously:

“What’s your name? To repay you, I should at least know your name and what you look like, right?”

Wang Tao took off his glasses and face mask, revealing his face.

“My name is Wang Tao.”

Han Rui was slightly surprised. Given Wang Tao’s sturdy build, she had thought he was a burly uncle with a rough face, but she didn’t expect him to have such delicate features.

“Hello, my name is Han Rui, as you know. So, can we go in now?”

The two had already been waiting outside of the Survivor Base for a while, which made Han Rui feel insecure.

“Of course.”

Wang Tao nodded, then restarted the car and slowly drove toward Shuize University.

At the entrance of Shuize University, there was a simple wooden watchtower, which promptly drew attention to Wang Tao’s car as it came into view.

Soon, four soldiers dressed in camouflage combat suits and fully armed came out of a small door.

The four soldiers held their guns downward but kept their eyes firmly on Wang Tao’s car. One of them approached Wang Tao’s car and said:

“Hello, survivor. This is the Suzaku University Survivor Base. If you’d like to enter the base, please come here and cooperate with our inspection!

Wang Tao extended his hand out of the window and made an ‘OK gesture.

The soldier spoke into a walkie-talkie, and soon after, the modified school gate opened. However, it was a double gate, inside which stood two people in grey protective suits holding flashlights, waiting for them.

Wang Tao slowly drove into the gate and, when he reached the soldiers’ side, took off his glasses and asked:

“May I know what the inspection involves?”

The soldier looked into Wang Tao’s eyes for a moment, then smiled and said:

“We’ll check your car for hidden zombies and examine your pupils-those infected with the zombie virus have different pupils than normal people. I can see you’re fine, don’t worry.”

Wang Tao was somewhat taken aback. Could one truly tell by looking at the pupils? He would have to learn more about that..
