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

Chapter 375: Chapter 176 HP Soars_1

“`

After nailing a Level 2 Zombie in the head with an arrow and seeing his HP max increase, Wang Tao burst into laughter.

“Keep them coming, let’s see just how many zombies are in here!”

The one he had just killed was a Level 2, Elite Zombie, the first, but definitely not the last. Wang Tao could sense that his HP was about to get a serious boost today!

Any zombie instantly killed by Wang Tao would drop a Loot Pack. Naturally, this zombie did too, but lying in the sea of flames, Wang Tao couldn’t retrieve it just yet.

This was a wake-up call for Wang Tao—he needed to claim the zombies’ heads before the fire consumed them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t gain any HP or Loot Packs if the zombies burned to death since the fire lasted too long to count as his kill.

Soon, Little Jun also spotted a Level 2 Zombie in the fiery chaos.

[7849/12000]

This zombie still had a lot of HP, but Wang Tao didn’t hurry. He waited until it was down to its last thousand HP before shooting an arrow.

Whoosh—

[-1287]

[0/12000]

Another head collected.

Before Wang Tao had time to check the increase in his HP, Jiang Shixue’s voice rang out again.

“Brother, there are two over there!”

Wang Tao quickly ran over.

At the location Jiang Shixue pointed to, there were five zombies, but three were ordinary, Level 1 Zombies, which Jiang Shixue naturally ignored.

After killing the two Level 2 Zombies, Wang Tao refrained from attacking further. Ordinary zombies weren’t worth it unless they were Elite—just some common materials, hardly worth wasting his arrows on, which were nearly rendered useless once shot through the flames. It was better to be economical.

After about fifteen minutes, the fire grew fiercer, and smoke billowed into the sky.

“Who knows how much pollution this thing is causing, or how many degrees it’s warming the planet.”

Wang Tao laughed self-deprecatingly.

Before the apocalypse, there were always news reports about humans being responsible for environmental pollution and global warming. But as an ordinary person, he wasn’t the cause of this, or at least, it wasn’t directly related to him. He didn’t mind being asked to protect the environment, but being blamed for it was ridiculous… Now, it indeed had something to do with him, direct consequences of his own actions, yet nobody was nagging in his ear anymore.

“Roar—”

Just then, Wang Tao heard a fierce roar. He looked towards the sound and saw an imposing zombie.

“Hm? A Terrorizer?”

The reservoir was deeper than Wang Tao had expected, and the underbrush taller. If it hadn’t been for the fire burning the vegetation, he wouldn’t have been able to see this over two-meter-tall Terrorizer at all.

Lucky he hadn’t gone down there; if he had been ambushed by zombies unknowingly, that would have spelled disaster.

[HP: 19339/22000]

[Mana: 10000/10000]

[Level: Level 2, Elite]

This Terrorizer was quite strong, with over twenty-two thousand HP. Despite being scorched by fire for so long, it still had nineteen thousand HP left.

If he had to fight it face-to-face, Wang Tao would have to exert some effort, but now, he just needed to watch it burn to death.

The Terrorizer spotted Wang Tao. With its simple mind, it probably couldn’t figure out what was happening with the fire, but it would attack any human it saw.

So upon seeing Wang Tao, it instantly lifted a thick steel pipe in its hand and slammed it violently onto the ground.

A Shockwave headed towards Wang Tao but disappeared a good distance away from him.

Wang Tao calmly notched and drew his bow, taking his time with the shot.

He chose to use a Bow and Arrows instead of a Shockwave because the distance was too great, and the Shockwave wouldn’t reach. He dared not get too close— the flames were too fierce, and he could get hurt himself.

Step by step, the Terrorizer moved towards Wang Tao. Flames raged over its body, its head ablaze as if it were a war god emerging from hell—impressively terrifying—while its HP dropped rapidly.

When it reached near Wang Tao, struggling through the flames, Wang Tao released the bowstring.

Whoosh—

[-1028]

[0/22000]

The Terrorizer’s HP hit zero, and it collapsed with a thunderous fall.

“How considerate, coming right towards me.”

With this Shockwave Crystal Core he hadn’t picked up yet, Wang Tao now had two, just one more and he could synthesize a Crystal Core he could use!

“I hope to see another Terrorizer…”

Wang Tao silently wished to himself.

More zombies appeared, and although no more Terrorizers showed up, they were all Level 2.

Wang Tao was having a blast killing them, but after a while, he started to feel that something was off.

“Why are there so many Level 2 Zombies?”

Zhang Hong had told him that there were a few Level 2 Zombies here.

But now, with the fire having only scorched a small area of the reservoir, more than a dozen Level 2 Zombies had emerged!

While most of them had lower HP, such as seven thousand, six thousand, or even five thousand, the quantity was still way too high. This wasn’t normal!

If there were truly so many Level 2 Zombies, Wang Tao would have encountered them on the road, not having to trek all this way just to fight them.

Then Wang Tao suddenly remembered the situation at Shuize First Hospital.

Back then, there were also many Level 1 Elite Zombies, an endless amount for him to kill. But that was because there was a Green-eyed Zombie in the hospital capable of elevating ordinary zombies’ levels.
