Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 357 - 170 Night Demon_1
Chapter 357: Chapter 170 Night Demon_1
Wang Tao returned to Fish Bay Camp and said to Xu Xiaojun:
“Pack up, we’re leaving this place!”
“Okay!”
Xu Xiaojun didn’t ask any questions and immediately started packing his belongings.
There wasn’t much to pack, mainly food. They had caught too many fish over the past few days, and the space in the Magical Stomach Pouch was limited, so it couldn’t fit everything. Wang Tao turned some of the fish into a nutrient solution, and the rest into dried fish, which could be carried with them.
There are conveniences to having fewer people, but also advantages to having more.
Previously, when it was only Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue, neither of them carried much.
But now with Xu Xiaojun joining them, things were different. He was loaded with items—food, clothes, tools… he even carried pots and pans.
In comparison, Xu Xiaojun seemed more like a post-apocalyptic survivor than Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue.
“Are you sure you want to carry that much?”
Wang Tao opened his mouth.
“I’m fine! I can handle it!”
Xu Xiaojun quickly patted his chest and said.
He didn’t want to waste anything. Some items were not that precious and could definitely be found in the county city, but if they were needed urgently, there definitely wouldn’t be time to look for them…
“Alright.”
Seeing that Xu Xiaojun truly had no issues, Wang Tao didn’t say much more.
After all, Xu Xiaojun had the Power ability, and although he seemed to be carrying a lot, it was not heavy for him.
Once they had packed everything, Wang Tao looked toward the west and said:
“Let’s go, we’re heading to Zijing City!”
Wang Tao was still in Huangfeng City, but it was quite far from the urban area of Huangfeng City. Instead, he was closer to the urban area of neighboring Zijing City.
Moreover, there was no need to go to the urban area of Huangfeng City, because the large Survivor Base of Huangfeng City was in Red Stone County, and Red Stone County was at the easternmost part of Huangfeng City. Wei Zhenguo, Han Rui, and the others had headed for the Red Stone Survivor Base.
If Wang Tao wanted to go to the Red Stone Base, he would either have to take a lengthy detour or go through Shuize County. However, there was a terrifying Black Mist Monster near Shuize County, and Wang Tao was not confident he could defeat it, so he decided to forget about it.
Wang Tao was now closer to Zijing City, and he planned to check out where the large Survivor Base of Zijing City was located.
When the virus broke out, the Government announced that there would be a large Survivor Base in every city nationwide.
Wang Tao knew only that Huangfeng City’s large Survivor Base was in Red Stone County, but he was unaware of the ones in other cities. The survivors from Zijing City itself would definitely know, and now that he was relatively near the urban area of Zijing City, it likely had survivors he could ask.
Before leaving Jinbi County, Wang Tao planned to find a vehicle. However, all the vehicles outside had been corroded by acid rain, and not a single one was usable. He had checked some underground garages, and the vehicles inside were no longer functional either.
Xu Xiaojun told Wang Tao that there had been a heavy rain earlier, which had caused flooding disasters. Many areas were submerged, and naturally, the cars in those garages were not spared.
Wang Tao felt somewhat disappointed; having a vehicle, even just a gas-powered one, would have made travel much more convenient.
“Forget it, let’s go.”
Wang Tao had made his way here with Jiang Shixue on foot before, so they could manage without a car. It would just be considered exercise.
The three of them left Jinbi County and followed the national highway toward Zijing City.
The highway was littered with abandoned vehicles and many zombies, all exuding an aura of desolation and deathly silence.
At first, Xu Xiaojun was very tense. After all, since the apocalypse began, he had never traveled far. He knew the outside world was dangerous but was unaware of the specific conditions.
However, after walking with Wang Tao for a while, he gradually relaxed a bit. It couldn’t be helped, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue were just too strong!
Xu Xiaojun dealt with ordinary zombies, and if they encountered some tricky ones, Wang Tao would easily beat them half to death and then let him finish them off.
Unnoticed by Xu Xiaojun, his HP had increased by another 1000.
“Brother Wang, I can’t control it anymore, I need to sleep…”
Xu Xiaojun, struggling to stay awake, spoke to Wang Tao.
“Oh? 4000 HP now? Fine, go to sleep.”
Wang Tao hadn’t paid attention just now, but after letting Xu Xiaojun have a few kills, he had reached 4000 HP.
The sun was also about to set, so it was a good time to rest for the night.
Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue could travel at night, but Xu Xiaojun obviously couldn’t, so it was best to rest well in the evening.
There were many uninhabited houses by the road, and Wang Tao helped Xu Xiaojun into one.
After letting Xu Xiaojun lie down, Wang Tao took out some food, ate something simple with Jiang Shixue, then had Jiang Shixue keep watch while he took inventory of the Loot Packs obtained in the Zombie Nest.
Although he hadn’t killed any zombies, he had killed many half-finished zombies and the incubating flesh that spawned them, so he ended up with 23 Loot Packs!
Nineteen of them had burst from half-finished zombies, and four from the incubating flesh.
The items burst by the half-finished zombies were all the same; all were Level 2 Omnipotent Crystal Cores!
Level Two Zombies were currently rare, and Level 2 Crystal Cores were even rarer, making Level 2 Omnipotent Crystal Cores scarce.
Having suddenly acquired 19 Omnipotent Crystal Cores, Wang Tao couldn’t stop smiling.
He already had 3 Epic Omnipotent Crystal Cores and 1 Excellent Omnipotent Crystal Core on hand.
With this Excellent Crystal Core, there were exactly 20 uncombined ones. Wang Tao immediately began synthesizing.
Soon, the synthesis of 10 Omnipotent Crystal Cores was complete. Most of them were Epic, and two were Excellent. Including the previous three, he now had a total of 13 Omnipotent Crystal Cores!
