Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 256
Chapter 256: Chapter 137 Level Two Toughness_2
Hum-
Soon, the convoy had increased the distance from the pursuing zombies.
It was not only because their speed had increased, but also because the zombies had stopped chasing!
Seeing the gorilla zombie stop in its tracks, followed by the cessation of the mad demon zombies, Wang Tao did not relax but instead became even more vigilant.
“Quick, quick, quick! Speed up! Pass through the outer ring road and turn back into the county from the intersection ahead!”
The speed of the four vehicles soon exceeded 120KM.
Wang Tao was extremely nervous, fearing that the shadow with ten thousand
HP was still there.
Fortunately, luck wouldn’t always be that bad, and the convoy did not encounter any issues on the outer ring road.
Upon seeing the intersection ahead, the four vehicles slowed down in succession, skillfully drifted, and successfully entered the road back to the urban area.
The gorilla zombie and most of the mad demon zombies were probably still at the previous intersection, and the roaring sound of the engines only attracted a dozen or so mad demon zombies.
After confirming that the surroundings were temporarily safe, Wang Tao immediately got out of the car and took care of these dozen mad demon zombies.
“Let’s go! Back to the base!”
By the time the four vehicles finally arrived at the base’s gate, it was already evening.
The group finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Is Lu Gang okay?”
Wang Tao picked up the walkie-talkie and asked.
“He’s fine, just asleep.”
Wei Zhenguo’s voice came from the walkie-talkie; they were in another vehicle.
“That’s good.”
The convoy entered the base and immediately drew the attention of everyone inside. These survivors had been anxiously waiting outside, Ding Yuqin and Li
Qiuyu included.
Wang Tao got out of the car and nodded at the two of them to indicate that everything was fine. Then a soldier came over and asked in a low voice: “Commissioner Wang, we didn’t have any issues, did we? The noise outside earlier was too loud, and everyone was very worried…”
“It’s alright now, let everyone rest assured.”
Hearing Wang Tao’s words, the soldier finally relaxed. He immediately told the other survivors:
“It’s okay now, everyone is safe, you can go back.”
Sigh—
Upon hearing that everything was fine and seeing the commissioners had all returned safely, the survivors finally put down their worries.
Xiang Hongbin and some soldiers got a briefing on the situation, mentioning how the noise from their earlier battle was so loud that the explosions could be heard clearly inside the base. In particular, when they saw the zombies outside starting to riot, the survivors got restless…
Wei Zhenguo was assisting Wang Tao in carrying a stretcher, bringing Lu Gang over to Chen Zhuang.
“He’s seriously injured!”
Chen Zhuang and two other doctors hadn’ t done any work that day Just waiting for Wang Tao and the others. Although they hoped nothing would go wrong with the team, they certainly had to be prepared in advance.
“Let me take a look… it’s okay, it’s just a fractured rib, no life-threatening danger!”
Upon hearing the doctor’s confirmation, everyone fully let down their guard. After all, they couldn’t see the HP bar and didn’t know Lu Gang’s current state.
After handing over Lu Gang to Chen Zhuang and his team, the injured among Wang Tao’s group also briefly treated their wounds and then headed to the conference room in the comprehensive building.
“Everyone’s okay, right?”
Wang Tao looked at the group.
He himself was actually the second most injured person, but he had self- healing power and a medical kit. He had recovered a small part along the way, so his injuries had stabilized.
But to return to full HP was impossible, he would need Ding Yuqin’s help for that.
The others were all more or less injured as well.
“We’re all fine, just minor injuries!”
Xiang Hongbin shook his head. Unless someone was missing limbs or infected, everything else was considered minor.
And the most seriously injured person was naturally Lu Gang.
No one expected that Lu Gang, who should have been the safest, was the one who was the most seriously hurt.
The hooded zombie’s perception was too keen!
After being hit by one of Lu Gang’s arrows, it instantly detected Lu Gang’s position, and then leaped directly from the rooftop towards Lu Gang. If not for the fact that Lu Gang was wearing a steel plate, Wang Tao had given them a defense potion in advance… and I also saved him, Lu Gang might have been finished!
“That Level Two Zombie is damn powerful!”
Xiang Hongbin let out a sigh.
He felt that he had already overestimated the Level Two Zombie, but found that he still underestimated it after the battle.
Lucky for them, Wang Tao was well prepared, using a bomb to blast it a bit in advance, otherwise, they would have definitely suffered casualties!
As for things like sticky substances, they were useless; the hooded zombie was too fast!
“This is a Level Two Zombie in its Full Peak State! And there was also that gorilla zombie, too horrifying!”
Wei Zhenguo also sighed.
The hooded zombie was strong, but the gorilla zombie was stronger! Only Wang Tao could withstand a hit from a gorilla zombie. If they were to face the gorilla zombie themselves, they would probably be instantly killed!
“Don’t be disheartened, everyone! After all, this was our first time facing a Level Two Zombie head-on. It’s already remarkable we achieved this much! Let’s summarize the combat experience, and we won’t be so flustered next time!”
Wang Tao said with an encouraging smile.
Though everyone was injured to different extents, the fact that no one had died was a considerable victory.
The group began to debrief on the battle. They analyzed where they fell short and how they could do better.
Wang Tao thought that if there would be a next time, they should either use more Self-Destruct Bombs, ideally to blow up the Level Two Zombie in one shot, or use fewer to avoid attracting the gorilla zombie and a large number of mad demon zombies.
This time his bomb was not well placed; he neither killed the hooded zombie nor attracted a large number of mad demon zombies and the gorilla zombie.
