“Do you really not need my help? It’s actually quite simple for me and won’t cause any trouble.”
Wang Tao furrowed his brows and said.
“Heh, I appreciate your kindness, big brother, but it’s really not necessary. I know my own condition—I won’t live much longer. Even though I have inhibitors now, I can still feel my strength increasing after taking them. You should understand what that means—I’m still alive because I want vengeance. Wang Tao fell silent again.
“Big brother, why don’t you try testing my strength? Back in kindergarten, none of them could beat me in arm-wrestling!”
Wu Fei suddenly said with a smile.
“…Alright!”
Wang Tao was genuinely curious about Wu Fei’s strength.
“Hiss—”
After a simple test, both of them were a bit shocked.
“Big brother, you’re really strong!”
Wu Fei said with a shocked expression; they had tried five times, and he hadn’t won once.
Although Wang Tao’s body was muscular and looked strong, only he knew how powerful he was, and yet he still wasn’t a match for Wang Tao.
“You’re not weak yourself!”
Wang Tao was also shocked by Wu Fei’s strength. In activities like arm-wrestling, he had competed with others at the base too. But neither Xiang Hongbin nor Lu Gang had the strength that Wu Fei did!
You should know, those two had much more HP than Wu Fei.
Wu Fei must be the strongest person Wang Tao had encountered!
Suddenly, Wang Tao felt that if Wu Fei really turned into a zombie, he would at least be an elite one…
Wang Tao patted Wu Fei on the shoulder.
“Fine, if you don’t need help, I won’t say more. But I’m usually at Shuize Base, so if you need anything, you can find me.”
“Haha, thanks, big brother! I will definitely go to Shuize Base. I’m going for vengeance! But not now…” Wu Fei glanced at the Sunshine Kindergarten below. “The headmaster saved my life and has been providing me with food, shelter, and inhibitors. I owe him a great deal. I must repay him first before heading to Shuize Base.”
Having said that, Wu Fei looked at Wang Tao earnestly:
“Of course, I haven’t forgotten the life-saving grace you’ve shown me! I don’t have much to offer right now, but rest assured, I will repay you. I, Wu Fei, am a man who keeps his promises!”
“Good, then I’ll be waiting!”
Wang Tao laughed heartily.
He wasn’t particularly concerned about being repaid; his decision to save others was entirely based on his needs and mood at the time. He didn’t expect a reward, as long as there was no betrayal in return.
Wang Tao then discussed with Wu Fei about what happens when the virus acts up and the use of inhibitors, as it was a rare case study.
Wu Fei didn’t hide anything, sharing everything that had happened to him.
He also told Wang Tao that the Zombie Core he had fused with was a Self-Destruct Crystal Core.
This wasn’t something he did on purpose; he had accidentally found a white Self-Destruct Crystal Core and couldn’t control himself from consuming it, and it actually succeeded…
He felt quite helpless about it—he was now an Ability User, but a one-time-only one… He must be the weakest Ability User in the world, right? Seeing this, Wang Tao suddenly paused.
A Self-Destruct Crystal Core could also increase Mana?
The Self-Destruct Crystal Core had no side effects, and at present, it was the easiest Core to obtain. The number of Suicide Bombing Zombies was also the highest among all Elite Zombies!
Doesn’t that mean Ability Users could potentially use Self-Destruct Crystal Cores as a tool to increase their Mana?
Take Wang Tao, for example. His Mana was only at 300. If he fused with 10 Self-Destruct Crystal Cores and they all succeeded, wouldn’t his Mana increase
If he had that much Mana, there would be no need to hold back when using his Ability! Starting with a Shockwave, no need to conserve!
This might be a very good direction to explore!
He could discuss this with Wei Zhenguo and the others when he gets back. After gathering the information he needed, Wang Tao said to Wu Fei: “Then I’ll be going. I can’t keep my companions waiting. Hope to see you again.”
“Sure, big brother, take care on the road! We’ll definitely meet again!’
“Wang Tao, where did you go? It’s been so long…”
Inside the car, Han Rui looked at Wang Tao with curiosity.
“Caught up with an acquaintance. It took a bit of time. Let’s go.” Seeing Wang Tao reluctant to elaborate, Han Rui didn’t press further.
She drove towards the base. Of course, they also planned to check out the third airdrop on the way.
“Huh? Those two elite zombies are gone?”
The third airdrop was still there, without signs of being tampered with. A group of ordinary zombies surrounded it, but the police zombie with the handgun and the self-exploder were nowhere to be seen.
After carefully perceiving the area and confirming there were no elite zombies, Wang Tao took his ax and charged in.
Thwack!
[-1000]
[-1000]
[-1000]
[…]
After the Shockwave effortlessly wiped out more than a dozen ordinary zombies, Wang Tao quickly opened the airdrop box and took the five boxes of inhibitors before leaving.
“Yes!”
Han Rui was also very happy to see so many inhibitors.
“Let’s go. This airdrop retrieval went pretty smoothly!”
Wang Tao smiled.
“Okay!”
They hadn’t gone far when, upon taking a corner, Han Rui suddenly slammed on the brakes!
“A self-exploder!”
Just around the corner, there was a self-exploder! And next to the self-exploder was a police zombie—weren’t these the two zombies they had seen near the airdrop earlier?
Han Rui couldn’t always use her Ability, for the consumption was too great and would leave her exhausted, so she saved it for critical moments. She hadn’t expected to run into love around the corner.
Retreat!
Han Rui quickly reversed the car, but both the suicide bombing zombies and the police zombie had already noticed the vehicle. The police zombie slowly raised his right hand holding the pistol, while the body of the suicide bombing zombie began to swell.
Then-
Boom!
The suicide bombing zombie exploded!
At the moment of the explosion, both Wang Tao and Han Rui ducked their heads. Wang Tao also took the opportunity to embrace Han Rui, protecting her upper body.
The front of the SUV was smeared with blood and flesh, and there were some dirty substances on the glass, but not much. Thankfully, Han Rui reversed in time, and the vehicle wasn’t hit by the explosion.
After the explosion, Wang Tao straightened up. He let go of Han Rui, who was
in his arms and then looked somewhat stunned.
What did he see?
The police zombie had been blown to bits by the suicide bombing zombie, leaving behind only a head, half a shoulder, and a left hand still attached.
The suicide bombing zombie had blown the police zombie to half-death! Could that even happen?
Seeing a thread of blood on the half-head of the police zombie, Wang Tao didn’t hesitate, immediately got out of the car, and finished it off with an ax.
Thwack!

[0/2000]
Then Wang Tao grabbed the spoils from the two zombies and ran.
“Drive, drive fast!”
