Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 252
Chapter 252: Chapter 136: Hunting Level 2 Zombies_l
Hunting a full blood Level 2 zombie was an extremely dangerous thing.
Wang Tao felt that, compared to the Level 2 zombie, his only advantage was that he could use his brain, while the zombie could not.
Therefore, Wang Tao prepared a grand welcoming gift for this Level 2 zombie!
Since the Hooded zombie was near the hospital, and the hospital was full of Mad Demon Zombies, the first task was to change the battlefield.
The Hooded zombie was particularly sensitive to sound, able to hear noises that the Mad Demon Zombies couldn’t.
So Wang Tao had Liu He help to make many remote-controlled speakers and placed them on some rooftops.
When the fight began, one speaker would sound at a time. After the Hooded zombie destroyed the speaker, a second one would sound. It would destroy the second one, and a third would go off…
Of course, the sound of the speakers wouldn’t only draw out the Hooded zombie, it would also attract the Mad Demon Zombies. That’s why the speakers weren’t very loud.
The Mad Demon Zombies were also sensitive to sound, but Wang Tao and his , team had gradually figured out their characteristics: as long as the sound didn’t exceed a certain decibel level, it wouldn’t draw them in.
The speakers would lure it to the location Wang Tao had specially prepared for it—the basketball court in the residential area.
In this basketball court, Wang Tao had placed 5 Self-Destruct Bombs!
These were extracted from Suicide Bombing Zombies and were very unstable, detonating at even the slightest disturbance, yet they were very powerful – Wang Tao had specially tested one before, and a single Self-Destruct Bomb could easily kill a Level 1 Elite Zombie.
It had only two flaws.
One was its instability, which meant there was a risk of it accidentally exploding on oneself. And the other was the loud noise it made on detonation. So even though Wang Tao thought, “As long as there are enough Self-Destruct Bombs, even Level 2 zombies can be killed,” he still didn’t dare to use too many. Otherwise, if the Gorilla zombies were attracted by the noise, they would be impossible to fight.
Besides the Self-Destruct Bombs, Wang Tao also installed some Homemade Bombs made by Liu He around the area for emergencies. These weren’t as powerful as the Self-Destruct Bombs, but were much more stable-at least much more so than the Self-Destruct Bombs.
Then there were the Slime Grenades. They hardly needed any explanation. They were the simplest way for Wang Tao to kill Suicide Bombing Zombies before his Shockwave ability was upgraded to Level Two.
Wang Tao made a large number of Slime Grenades and planned to distribute a few to each person involved in the fight.
Moreover, Strength Potions, Defense Potions, and Running Potions were also given to Wei Zhenguo and the others. After all, life is precious, and Wang Tao didn’t want anything to happen to them.
Xiang Hongbin also designed some traps, like falling rocks and such. Wang Tao was skeptical about their usefulness, considering the limited space and manpower, which didn’t allow for the construction of particularly effective traps.
Before the battle, Ren Jie had already made an announcement within the base, not detailing the specifics but mentioning that the base was preparing to undertake a major task and it would be dangerous outside, forbidding anyone from leaving the base over the next two days.
The combatants, including Wang Tao, had all rested well for a day, conserving their energy.
Next morning.
Wang Tao and the others met at the comprehensive building.
“Are you all ready?”
Wang Tao asked with a smile.
“Ready! I’ve never felt so powerful! Let’s do this!’
Xiang Hongbin clenched his fists fiercely.
Although they were supposed to rest the previous day, they didn’t just sit idle. Wang Tao had given them some Crystal Cores, further enhancing their strength.
All of their main abilities had been upgraded to full level. Their HP had reached 4999!
One could say that this was the strongest they had been since the apocalypse began!
“Shall we depart then?”
“Let’s go!”
Everyone got into the vehicles, and four military off-road vehicles left the base. This operation involved a total of 12 people, including Wang Tao, Han Rut, Wet Zhenguo, Xiang Hongbin, Lu Gang, Feng Ming’an, and six members of the Security Army.
Undoubtedly, this was the strongest force Shuize Base currently had.
If the base didn’t need to be defended, Xiang Hongbin would have wanted to bring all the Security Army and the Ability User’s Hunters.
Wang Tao felt that with this lineup, plus the traps they had set up in advance, even zombies of Shao Yong’s caliber would be killed one after another!
However, Wang Tao wasn’t quite clear on how strong the Hooded zombie really was, so he could only say he was confident about the fight, but wasn’t certain of victory…
Soon, the group arrived at the basketball court. After Wang Tao gave some instructions, he nodded to Wei Zhenguo, who immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
“Begin!”
Outside the hospital.
Someone had already been hiding there in advance. Upon hearing Wei Zhenguo’s order, he immediately pressed the button on his remote control. Moments later, a barely audible noise came from a rooftop in the distance, imperceptible to survivors. But it didn’t take long before a Hooded zombie appeared in the distance, running and jumping across the rooftops like a parkour athlete.
“It’s coming!”
The person quickly reported through the walkie-talkie.
Half a minute later, the Hooded zombie successfully destroyed the speaker.
“It’s destroyed the speaker!”
“Got it!”
The person on the other end of the walkie-talkie immediately pressed the remote control, and another speaker began to sound on a distant rooftop. The first person couldn’t hear this second speaker’s sound, but the Hooded zombie heard it loud and clear!
It immediately changed direction and started running towards the sound.
