Apocalypse: I Can See the Health Bar, Kill Monsters and Drop Treasures

Chapter 84 She is my fiancée

There is a very unpleasant smell of disinfectant in the hall, and Wang Tao cannot avoid it even if he wears a mask.

 “Mr. Chen, would you like a glass of water?”

Cao Xin asked Wang Tao while holding a kettle with peeling paint and a water cup that couldn't tell whether it was yellow or white.

 “No.”

Wang Tao looked at the hall.

The decoration of the hall is very old-fashioned, as if it was in the style of thirty years ago. Many clothes are piled here casually, as if the clothes were used to make a bed, and the four of them sleep here.

The hall is rectangular, and several people are at one end where the lighting is better. The other end is dark and it is difficult to see what is inside.

 “You are quite amazing, being able to live so comfortably in the apocalypse.”

Wang Tao said something neutral.

These four people, including Yang Laoqi before being taught a lesson, are all full of health, which is pretty good in this end of the world. After all, there are still many people in Shuize Base with residual health.

“Ah haha, good luck, just good luck! But we have also run out of food, and I am still worried about where to get food...”

 Cao Xin touched his bald head with a sad look on his face.

Wang Tao took a deep look at Cao Xin.

 Is he afraid that he will steal his food? In other words, they may still have a lot of food?

Cao Xin suddenly stiffened.

Although Wang Tao’s eyes were a little blurry under his yellow glasses and he couldn’t see clearly. But he felt as if he was being targeted by a beast, and the blood in his body seemed to be a little solid!

This feeling... is like being targeted by the zombie from before!

 Cao Xin is able to survive until now in the apocalypse, and his sixth sense plays a large role in it. He could feel that the person in front of him was dangerous! Even more dangerous than what he had seen before!

Wang Tao withdrew his gaze.

 He walked to the window and opened the blinds. From here, you can see part of the square. The zombies he killed before are still lying there.

“Well, I accidentally saw Mr. Chen’s heroic appearance before, and I was really shocked! At that time, I thought that if I invited Mr. Chen to come, I would be lucky! I didn’t expect this to be such a coincidence!”

 Cao Xin quickly spoke as if he was flattering.

When Yang Laoqi next to him heard this, he almost wanted to say that he had brought Mr. Chen here. But after seeing their boss suddenly turn his head and glare at him, Yang Laoqi felt a chill in his back.

 Oops, what the boss told is a lie!

Yang Laoqi complained secretly. He knew that after Mr. Chen left, he would suffer.

Wang Tao knew that this person was flattering, but he had to say that these words sounded very comfortable. He had never felt this way. No wonder those in power on TV always have one or two people who are dedicated to flattering them.

Of course, no matter what he was thinking, Wang Tao's expression did not change. After so many years of hard work outside, I still have some skills in cultivating Qi.

“Then you won’t mind if I visit here, right?”

Wang Tao said suddenly.

　　… “I don’t mind, I don’t mind! I’ll take you here!”

 Cao Xin had a smile on his face that was uglier than crying. Then personally lead the way.

Wang Tao followed him leisurely, observing the surrounding environment, and asked somewhat casually:

“What’s going on downstairs? How did it get destroyed like that?”

 Speaking of this, a hint of panic suddenly appeared on Cao Xin's face.

"Mr. Chen, you don't know, half a month ago, a super scary zombie appeared in the mall! That guy seemed to be three or four meters tall, with muscles all over his body! He smashed everything he saw, and the entire mall was almost destroyed by it. Destroy it! If it hadn’t seemed to be attracted by something, we would have been doomed..."

 “Three or four meters high…”

Wang Tao's face suddenly became serious.

Zombies of this size are a bit scary. The biggest zombie he has seen before is the Violent Terror, which is also a sledgehammer zombie. They were already very tall at just over two meters tall, which put a lot of pressure on Wang Tao.

 The three to four-meter-tall zombie...Wang Tao could no longer imagine how big it was.

Wang Tao glanced at Cao Xin again. His frightened eyes didn't look fake. There was no need to lie to him about this. After all, the damage caused on the first floor was too obvious.

“Then you guys are very lucky.”

 Wang Tao said something.

“That’s not true. We are really lucky to be alive until now.”

 Cao Xin was a little proud.

However, when he discovered where Wang Tao was looking, his face suddenly became embarrassed again.

“The four of you have quite a lot of food to eat. You think you’re going to run out of food when you have so much food left?”

Looking at a pile of dirty rice noodles, snacks and other food, Wang Tao spoke sarcastically.

“Ahem, be prepared for a rainy day, be prepared for a rainy day!”

Cao Xin saw Wang Tao staring at his food. He showed a look of pain on his face, but he pretended to be heroic and said:

"Mr. Chen, meeting each other is fate. It is a great fate that we can meet in the last days! I see that you didn't bring anything with you. You must have come out to search for supplies, right? I won't say anything else. Just pick a bag and take it away! I, Cao Xin, will make you your friend!"

Wang Tao glanced at him in surprise.

This man is sensible!

Since he is sensible, Wang Tao cannot refuse his kindness.

 “You, go pick a bag.”

Wang Tao looked at Yang Laoqi and spoke.

　　　…”

Yang Laoqi instantly felt a murderous gaze looking at him.

He didn't dare to look into the boss's eyes, so he could only walk to the food and choose.

Wang Tao didn't pay attention to the food. After his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness here, he looked around.

Wang Tao can clearly feel that there are many traces of battle here. There is also some black blood, I don’t know if it is from zombies. And there is a strange smell here, and the smell of disinfectant is a bit overwhelming.

There are several hollow display cabinets at this end of the hall. They were supposed to be used to store some decorations, but now they are filled with random things, such as toilet paper, screwdrivers, rags, and the like. There was still some black blood on the toilet paper, and Wang Tao looked disgusted.

 Cao Xin seemed to be relieved when he saw that Wang Tao was more interested in these little things. Then, when Wang Tao wasn't paying attention, he kicked Yang Laoqi's **** hard and gave him a vicious look. It seems to be saying: Just make do with it, you really choose the best bag for him!

Yang Laoqi looked aggrieved: It was not you who was beaten just now...

Wang Tao just took a look casually. One of the reasons why he came up was to see what this man wanted to do and whether he wanted to murder him. The second is to see if any of these people are worth recruiting into the survivor base, which can also be regarded as a way to accumulate contribution points.

 But after this simple exchange, Wang Tao has eliminated both options.

 No one in this group of people tells the truth, and they don’t look like good people. It was impossible for Wang Tao to take them to the base.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Wang Tao touched a small iron piece on the shelf. On the iron piece was a series of six-digit numbers, which seemed a bit familiar.

 “Mr. Chen! I’ve already chosen it for you!”

Yang Laoqi's trembling voice came from the corner.

Wang Tao turned his head, and Cao Xin, who was glaring at Yang Laoqi, immediately put on a smile.

“Mr. Chen, this is my heart, please accept it!”

Wang Tao looked at the well-packaged 10kg bag of rice, took it without politeness, and walked directly outside.

 “Okay, then I won’t bother you.”

 Seeing that Wang Tao was leaving, Cao Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

 “Mr. Chen, let’s meet again by chance!”

Wang Tao looked back at him, said nothing, and went straight downstairs.

Until Wang Tao left the mall and walked into the rain, Cao Xin and the others seemed to relax all of a sudden and heaved a sigh of relief.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　�

 “This man puts so much pressure on me! I don’t even dare to breathe when he stands there!”

　　"Who is not? I don't dare to look at him..."

 The three younger brothers whispered.

“Isn’t it just that they are bigger? Does this scare you? A bunch of useless things!”

 Cao Xin cursed angrily.

The younger brothers stopped talking immediately. Yang Laoqi wanted to say something, boss, that was not your attitude just now.

“Forget it, since the person has been sent away, let’s leave him alone. Damn it, go get one of our goods! I need to vent, I was almost scared to death just now—go, go, go!”

The three boys immediately went to the door to the left of the stairs, which was locked with a rusty iron chain, and then opened the door with a key.

The iron door made a harsh sound, and it was dark inside.

One of the boys walked in with a flashlight, and the other two followed.

 “Uh-huh—”

Suddenly there was a humming sound in the warehouse, and then a naked, scarred woman with chains wrapped around her body, tape on her mouth, and a numb face was dragged out.

 “Boss, another one died...”

 One of the younger brothers spoke in a panic.

“Fuck, it’s really useless!” Cao Xin cursed secretly, and then scolded his younger brother: “Hurry up!”

The brothers quickly took the two women to the place where they stored the food. When they saw the food, there was a slight fluctuation in the woman's eyes.

One of the boys tied the iron chains on the woman's limbs to the ground, and then placed a small basin of white noodles in front of her. When the woman saw the food in front of her, she immediately lay on the ground like a dog and licked it with her tongue. Cao Xin loosened his belt, walked behind the woman with a cruel expression, and then ordered to his younger brother:

 “Bring me some barbed sticks!”

 …

 In the heavy rain, Wang Tao turned back and took a deep look at the third floor of the shopping mall.

 Then he returned to his car.

 “There’s something wrong with this group of people…”

Wang Tao recalled everything that had just happened upstairs. This group of people was obviously hiding something from him. Wang Tao initially thought it was food, but later found out that it might not be.

Wang Tao took out a metal piece from his pocket with six numbers on it. Wang Tao found this at Cao Xin's place, and he took it over.

It's not that Wang Tao likes other people's things, but that he has seen this thing before. Except for the different numbers, this thing and the alarm signal on Han Rui's chest are the same in color and size. This is a warning sign!

I don’t know whether Cao Xin and the others picked it up or... no matter what the possibility is, Cao Xin may have a gun in his hand!

Although Wang Tao is strong, he never feels that he can resist bullets. Bullets still pose a great threat to him.

Of course, if something unexpected happens, Wang Tao feels that he can subdue them instantly by using shock waves, but there is another important reason for this, and that is Cao Xin said that there was a zombie three or four meters tall here before!

Looking at the destructive power caused by this zombie, Wang Tao felt that he was definitely no match for it. If the gunfire attracted this zombie, he would be in trouble.

 So after discovering the warning signal, Wang Tao retreated decisively for the sake of safety.

Even Wang Tao felt that his behavior of following Yang Laoqi upstairs was a bit reckless.

 “Still not cautious enough! Once you have some strength, it will swell... You have to be more cautious next time!”

Hum~

 The car went around the shopping mall and headed towards Borui Clinic.

Considering that there might be a terrifying zombie here, Wang Tao did not dare to walk too fast and even took a long detour.

 In the evening, I finally saw the Borui Clinic.

 The location of Borui Clinic is quite good, next to a small intersection. And there are not many cars here, so the road is relatively empty.

 The rolling shutter door of the clinic is closed, and I don’t know what is going on inside, but there are more than a dozen zombies blocking the way on the street outside.

Wang Tao originally wanted to send them off to the west, but he hesitated and took a few Molotov cocktails from the storage box in the car.

He had always wondered why the zombies burned to death were not counted as his own, but the ones shot to death were, so Wang Tao was going to test it now.

 This is a crossroads with convenient transportation. If there is any irresistible danger, he can drive away at any time. In addition, he has collected all the materials for the time being, so he can test these zombies.

 Half an hour later, Wang Tao killed the last zombie with an ax and then put away the loot.

 “This should be it…”

 After the experiment, Wang Tao had some enlightenment in his mind.

 Simply put, only zombies killed by him instantly will be counted as killed by him. The Molotov cocktail took too long to burn the zombie to death, so it was not considered a homicide.

As for how long this "moment" lasts, Wang Tao hasn't tested it yet. Anyway, it is a very short period of time.

 When using the Molotov cocktail in the future, he should try to kill the zombies before they are burned to death. Of course, if there is really no chance, forget it. After all, the fire does not distinguish between friend and foe.

 After dealing with the zombies on the street, Wang Tao came to Borui Clinic with weapons in hand.

 The rolling shutter door of the clinic is half open, which saves Wang Tao time. After all, the rolling door opened loudly. He looked inside with a flashlight to make sure there were no zombies before he got in.

 The situation inside the clinic was worse than Wang Tao imagined. Some shelves and empty boxes were scattered on the floor, but there were not many medicines. Apparently the place had been ransacked.

Wang Tao is not surprised. The location of this clinic is so obvious. It has been more than a month since the end of the world. It is normal for it to be raided by survivors.

Wang Tao picked up all the medicines on the ground. Now all medicines are precious and cannot be wasted.

 The clinic is not large in area. The first floor is a lobby, bathroom and a small room with several beds. The second floor seems to be a warehouse and resting place.

Wang Tao searched the first floor and made sure nothing was missing before going up to the second floor.

 “Hmm? The door is locked...”

　　I pushed the door but did not open it.

Wang Tao took out the lockpicking tool he carried with him and fiddled with the door lock. There was a click and the lock opened.

 The rooms upstairs are much brighter than the corridors. At a glance, Wang Tao saw a voluptuous... female zombie wearing a white coat and a mask sitting on the boss's chair not far away!

  【500/500】

 “Ho ho…”

 After the female zombie saw Wang Tao, she immediately twisted her body and stood up.

It was just an ordinary zombie. Wang Tao walked over quickly, picked up the ax and chopped it down.

 Poof!

ˆ【-500】

  【0/500】

 Easily kill instantly and collect the loot smoothly.

 【Obtain: Medical Kit*1】

 【Medical Kit: Can restore 100 HP within 10 seconds (limbs cannot be regenerated)】

"Huh?"

Wang Tao did not expect that when he killed the female doctor zombie, a medical kit would explode. What he didn't expect was that this medical kit was different from the one he picked up from the airdrop. This one could actually restore 100 blood in 10 seconds!

 The blood volume represents health. Restoring 100 blood volume means restoring one's own health!

　　Although it is said that the mutilated limbs cannot be regenerated, this is already very powerful.

 Under normal circumstances, if you want to restore your blood volume, you can only rely on treatment, eating, resting and sleeping with Ding Yuqin's blood pack.

 These methods are very slow and inconvenient. But not only does this medical kit only take ten seconds, it can also be placed in a space backpack! This thing is so convenient!

To a certain extent, this is like an inhibitor, half a life!

“In other words, killing the doctor zombie can explode the medical kit? I don’t know if it is 100% explosive, but even if there is this probability, it is worth the risk..."

 Chen Zhuang told Wang Tao before that there are many zombies in Shuize County No. 1 Hospital. Although there are many special zombies there and are very dangerous, there must be many doctor zombies! These are all medical kits!

 “I have to go to the No. 1 Hospital later to see if there is a chance...”

 There is a small office, a bedroom and a warehouse on the second floor of the clinic.

Except for a laptop and a mobile phone, there is nothing of value in the office. There were only some clothes in the bedroom and nothing else.

The small warehouse was locked. After easily unlocking the door, Wang Tao looked at the several boxes of medicines and some medical tools inside. Hehey, he took them all away.

It took Wang Tao more than 20 minutes to load all these things into the truck. However, the sun had already set at this time. For safety reasons, Wang Tao decided to rest here overnight and leave again tomorrow morning.

 A night of nothing.

 Woke up in the morning and after simply taking a few bottles of nutrient solution, Wang Tao left the clinic.

 It has not stopped raining outside. Although it is not heavy, it is still suitable for travel.

　　It was already ten o'clock when I saw Mizusawa University.

Before entering the base, Wang Tao specifically checked the location of the self-destructing zombie yesterday to see if it was still there.

 “Huh? Gone?”

There are only a few sporadic zombies left on this street, and the self-exploding zombies are no longer there.

“Forget it, just leave.”

  It would be very troublesome for him to kill this self-destructing zombie anyway.

After returning to the base, Wang Tao was not in a hurry to hand over the supplies, but went to see Chen Zhuang first.

 He first looked at what medicines Chen Zhuang needed, and then handed some over. Wang Tao planned to keep the rest for himself.

 “I’m relieved to see you come back safely!”

 When Chen Zhuang saw Wang Tao, he immediately hammered him on the chest.

 “Look at what medicine you need, and I’ll give you a list.”

Wang Tao gave Chen Zhuang the list he had prepared in advance.

“Good guy, did you really go to Borui Clinic? That’s amazing! I’ve told other hunters before, but they didn’t dare to go..."

 Chen Zhuang's face was very surprised.

 “It happened to be on the way, and luckily, there are no zombies there.”

Wang Tao didn’t explain much.

"I want these. This medicine is..." Chen Zhuang explained to Wang Tao the uses of some medicines and asked, "By the way, how is it in Borui Clinic?"

“It’s very messy and has been searched. But... there is a hot female doctor upstairs.”

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows, ready to tease him.

 “Huh? Female doctor? Where is she!”

 Chen Zhuang spoke quickly.

“I shot her head—” Wang Tao paused deliberately, and then added, “She is a zombie.”

　　　…”

 Chen Zhuang opened his mouth and fell silent for a moment.

Then he looked at Wang Tao and said quietly:

 “She… is my fiancée, whom I got married to a week before the end of the world…”

　　　…”
