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

Chapter 98: Chapter 85 Commissioner Wang Tao (Asking for monthly tickets at the end of the month)_1

Translator: 549690339

Although there were more than five hundred survivors in Shuize Base, not many of them were combatants, barely a hundred at best.

Among these one hundred, including 3 commissioners, the Security Army only numbered 18 people, who were also the 18 strongest in the base.

The soldier who sacrificed his life today was a member of the Security Army.

Whether on a personal level or in terms of the overall strength of the base, the loss of a member of the Security Army was intolerable, especially since this sacrifice could have been completely avoided…

Main building lobby.

Xiang Hongbin, Wang Tao, and others were all present, and several commissioners, including Wei Zhenguo, were also there.

Guo Chao and the other staff members were silently cleaning up the spoils of war, while Xiang Hongbin stood by the window, fiercely smoking a blood-stained cigarette.

“Not talking won’t solve the problem, will it?”

Wei Zhenguo sat in a makeshift wheelchair, his face looking very grim.

The soldiers hung their heads in silence.

Wei Zhenguo looked up at Xiang Hongbin and said sternly,

“Xiang Hongbin, what exactly happened! Why is Little Wu gone!”

Xiang Hongbin punched the wall furiously, then turned around and glared at Wei Zhenguo.

“Gone means gone, what’s with all the whys!”

Wei Zhenguo’s chest heaved violently with anger.

“Xiang Hongbin! What kind of attitude is that! As a commissioner of the base, and the leader of your squad, it’s your responsibility when your team member is gone! You owe it to your team members, and you owe it to the base!” Undaunted by Wei Zhenguo’s outburst, Xiang Hongbin met his gaze without flinching.

“It’s me, I killed him, are you satisfied with that answer? Huh!”

Bang!

Xiang Hongbin kicked the wall fiercely.

Wei Zhenguo took a deep breath, trying to control his anger.

“I need to know the specifics!”

Xiang Hongbin glared at Wei Zhenguo again and then pointed to one of his team members, saying,

“You, tell him!”

The soldier hesitated for a moment but still reported the specific situation loudly.

This morning, Xiang Hongbin and his team finally found an opportunity to return—they had been trapped before.

The way back was relatively safe, with no incidents. But as they neared Shuize Base, they suddenly spotted a special zombie with its internal organs exposed.

This was the first time they’d seen such a zombie; they didn’t know its ability. But at first glance, it was clear that it was a special zombie, and special zombies drop Zombie Cores!

Xiang Hongbin had merged with several Zombie Cores before, and he had also seen the Ability User that Wei Zhenguo had mentioned. Although there was no concrete evidence, Xiang Hongbin knew that merging Zombie Cores must be key to obtaining abilities!

So, encountering a special zombie on the way, he saw no reason to let it go!

Especially since some of them were armed, and they were not lacking in strength.

However, this special zombie was in the middle of a large group, and after being out for so long, their ammunition was almost used up; a frontal assault was unlikely. Besides, the gunfire would attract more zombies, and their remaining bullets surely wouldn’t suffice.

So Xiang Hongbin decided to wait. The zombies were constantly moving, and he wanted to wait for an opportunity when the special zombie was isolated.

If the special zombie were alone, they could swarm it, resolve the situation quickly, and then retreat. They might not even need to use guns. With six of them together, taking advantage of the heavy rain and the reduced sensory abilities of the zombies, a surprise attack would be possible. A few slashes each, would that not kill the zombie?

After waiting for a while, Xiang Hongbin was thrilled to see that the special zombie did indeed leave the group, slowly moving into an alley.

Xiang Hongbin knew his chance had come.

He prepared his people and waited for the command to strike. Little Wu, the soldier, was closest to the Zombie.

Upon Xiang Hongbin’s order, Little Wu, with his bayonet-ready rifle, charged first.

He stabbed viciously from behind the zombie, but the strike did not go deep, only halfway through. The bayonet nearly got stuck.

Little Wu was astounded by the zombie’s defensive power, but he didn’t panic since they had encountered special zombies with strong defense before. Despite their observation, those special zombies still ended up dead.

What he needed to do now was wait for his teammates to join in.

Unexpectedly for him and the other teammates, after this special zombie was stabbed, it did not show any intention to attack. Instead, the exposed organs on its chest pulsated violently, as if enraged, and its chest swelled increasingly bigger.

Then… boom! The zombie exploded!

Everyone was shocked, not to mention the loudness of the explosion; Little Wu was right beside the zombie!

Looking again, both the special zombie and Little Wu were gone, leaving nothing but a mess of flesh and a rifle with its bayonet stuck in the ground.

There was no time for mourning as the explosion instantly attracted the nearby zombies, and the fast-moving Mad Demon Zombies appeared upon hearing it.

Xiang Hongbin had people collect Little Wu’s weapons and equipment and a shining Zombie Core amid a pile of decaying flesh.

They could have run then, as they still had a good chance because they had cars.

But looking at the zombies, Xiang Hongbin didn’t run away. Instead, he pulled out three homemade bombs. He wanted to kill all these zombies to give Little Wu a proper send-off!

The homemade bombs were much more powerful than Hand Grenades. After setting a countdown of a dozen seconds, the soldiers hurled them into the zombie crowd..
