Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 206
Chapter 206: Chapter 120 Shao Yong_3
Translator: 549690339
Just then, a bald middle-aged elite zombie, short, and chubby, decked in a white lab coat, was passing by the entrance.
Han Rui had already taken aim at it and sent an arrow flying straight at him.
Whiz—
[-1023]
[1977/3000]
The arrow took away one-third of the zombie s HP.
Considering its defense power, it probably wasn’t the zombie that threw surgical knives.
After taking an arrow, the zombie immediately looked around, then started heading in Han Rui’s direction. It probably didn’t see who attacked it, since there was no acceleration and none of the frenzied behavior that zombies display when they discover humans.
Could zombies have a sixth sense?
Regardless of whether it was a sixth sense or not, this was just what Wang Tao wanted. When the zombie got closer, Han Rui stealthily shot another arrow.
[-1123]
[845/3000]
“Hehe…”
Now, the zombie had spotted the one who started it all. It immediately turned towards Han Rui’s location and started to jog over.
But just at that moment, Wang Tao engaged his precise shooting ability and pulled the trigger.
Whiz—
[-672]
[-182]
[0/3000]
Its HP dropped to zero, two arrows sending it to its demise.
After confirming that no zombies were coming, Wang Tao hurried over to collect the spoils.
From the zombie, he gained 60 HP, a white crystal core, and a package.
[Level 1 Crystal Core-Rejuvenation]
[Quality: Ordinary (20%)]
[Purity: 50% (Side effect: Prone to indulging in desires)] [Rejuvenation: Can expend a certain amount of energy to instantly recover full physical strength and spirit]
Wang Tao thought the attributes of this crystal core weren’t bad.
Though it wasn’t about increasing HP or energy, reality is not a game. Besides HP and energy, factors like physical strength and spirit can also impact a person’s state.
For instance, when you run out of energy, you feel very tired, and at that point, even if you have a lot of HP, your combat effectiveness will be significantly reduced.
Instant recovery of physical strength and spirit could be like an adrenaline shot, likewise boosting combat power.
But the side effect of this crystal core, “prone to indulging in desires”… isn’t that just being lascivious? Is that really a side effect? Isn’t that quite normal?
Wang Tao had his suspicions; perhaps this Shao Yong might have this ability, right?
Otherwise, with so many zombies in the hospital, how did he manage to escape?
Putting aside whether he could defeat them or not, even if the zombies just stood there and let him hack at them, it’s doubtful he could have managed to get through them all.
Especially during times of heightened concentration, the depletion of physical strength and spirit would be even greater…
This lecherous zombie, aside from the crystal core, also had a medic pack, two potions, and a blueprint.
[Acquired: Medic Pack x5]
[Acquired: Rejuvenation Potion Blueprint xi]
[Acquired: Rejuvenation Potion x2]
It came with a detailed description.
[Rejuvenation Potion Blueprint: After learning, you can craft 5 Rejuvenation Potions at a time. Required materials: Zombie Crystal Core xi, 300ml of Purified Water, 30 kilocalories of food]
[Rejuvenation Potion: Upon consumption, instantly recovers full physical strength and spirit, but leads to a state of weakness for 1 day afterward] The materials needed to craft this Rejuvenation Potion are simple, nothing special – just a zombie crystal core, water, and food.
However, the side effect of the potion is quite strong. It’s only suitable for a burst of effort. If the battle isn’t over after using it, you’re pretty much done for…
With a thought, Wang Tao learned the method to craft the potion.
He had learned several potion crafting methods by now, but this was the only potion he could actually make; the others all lacked crucial materials. “I’ll make some later on to keep as a reserve…” he thought to himself.
While he was pondering, Wang Tao gestured to Han Rui.
“Continue luring zombies.”
“Okay!”
It wasn’t long before another opportunity presented itself.
A figure wearing a pink nurse uniform with a voluptuous shape appeared at the hospital entrance.
“Hiss—Is that really the figure a proper nurse should have?”
Wang Tao could hardly believe it.
This one was much more pleasing to the eye than the previous fat nurse zombie. Of course, that’s provided you don’t look at the face.
Its face had long since rotted away, obscuring what it looked like in life. Especially that gaping, mucus-covered mouth-it was downright nauseating to look at.
Whoosh-
Han Rui released an arrow.
[-1459]
[1541/3000]
That single arrow had taken away half of its HP.
The zombie’s defensive power wasn’t high either!
Wang Tao had Han Rui hold fire, otherwise the second arrow might steal the kill from him.
This zombie’s perception seemed to be sharper. Right after Han Rui shot that arrow, it quickly headed toward Han Rui’s position.
At the same time, it opened its mouth wide and a long tongue stretched out.
When about 10 meters away from Han Rui, its loose tongue suddenly shot out like a frog’s.
Whoosh-
Bang!
Han Rui lay down on the ground, dodging the tongue’s attack. The tongue struck a discarded vehicle, punching a hole right through the car door.
Seeing the attack power, both Wang Tao and Han Rui were stunned. Who could withstand such a lick!
However, the female nurse zombie’s tongue was stuck in the car, and the car was too heavy to be pulled out quickly, causing it to stagger.
Seizing the opportunity, Wang Tao immediately activated Precise Shooting and pulled the trigger.
[-1036]
[-505]
[0/3000]
The voluptuous nurse zombie’s HP bar dropped to zero. It also gave Wang Tao a 60 HP boost, bringing his HP to [3410/3410]!
Wang Tao thought to himself that he was lucky; if the zombie’s tongue hadn’t gotten stuck, it probably would have taken more effort to defeat, since it could attack from a distance.
Wang Tao quickly went to collect the spoils from the zombie.
[Level 1 Crystal Core-Loose Tongue]
[Quality: Excellent (60%)]
[Purity: 50% (Side Effect: Prone to mood swings)] [Loose Tongue: Consumes energy, tongue becomes hard, lengthens] This ability… The description seems a bit indecent, but it should be effective in actual combat. It could serve as control and deal damage.
Besides the Crystal Core, the female nurse zombie dropped some loot, which included a medical pack and a set of clothes.
[Received: Medical Pack x5]
[Received: Pink Nurse Uniform xi]
[Pink Nurse Uniform: Durability+1, Tear-resistant+1]
Wang Tao had previously obtained a set of security uniforms, which he was wearing now. Indeed, the clothes were good; they rarely got damaged in frequent combat, sparing him the embarrassment of his clothes getting torn. The attributes of this nurse uniform were the same as the security uniform. But this nurse uniform is tear-resistant? Thumbs down!
After killing that zombie, Wang Tao and Han Rui waited for a long time, but no more elite zombies passed by the entrance.
“Should we take another risk and lure out a few elite zombies again?
While Wang Tao was hesitating, he suddenly felt the ground trembling.
“Hmm?”
Wang Tao and Han Rui looked toward the south at the same time. They saw a gigantic zombie taking steps toward the hospital.
“Damn, it’s a gorilla zombie!”
Seeing the figure that was as tall as a two-story building, Wang Tao’s complexion changed.
It wasn’t just its size that had grown; more importantly, its HP had increased as well!
[10000/10000]
“Let’s go!”
Wang Tao inwardly cursed.. It had only been a few days, and its HP had reached 10,000!
