Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Running Potion_1

Translator: 549690339

The living room was empty, with no zombies in sight.

But the blood splattered all over the walls told Wang Tao that this place was not safe.

Wang Tao quickly surveyed the area, finding the doors to all three bedrooms open, with darkened bloodstains at each entrance.

He approached the living room silently and looked towards the rooms, spotting his target in the last master bedroom.

In the master bedroom, a thin figure in a dirty school uniform was curled up on a blood-stained bed, back facing Wang Tao.

But what first drew Wang Tao’s attention wasn’t the figure, but the two bloody skeletons lying beside it on the bed!

Wang Tao felt a chill down his spine.

The slender figure seemed to sense the movement and slowly turned its head, revealing a face with gray-white pupils, protruding veins, and a mouth full of black blood.

“Hehe…”

[600/600]

By the looks of this zombie before its death, it was that troublesome brat who had caused trouble for Wang Tao. But it had 100 more HP than the other zombies!

Wang Tao gripped his horned hammer tighter.

The situation had changed; there weren’t three zombies here, but there was one small zombie with 600 HP!

Whew—

Without time to think, Wang Tao took a deep breath and strode towards the zombie.

“Heh…”

The small zombie stood up and staggered towards Wang Tao.

About ten meters separated them, but Wang Tao suddenly realized that the small zombie’s speed was not quite right!

Despite its smaller size and shorter legs, it moved faster than the other zombies Wang Tao had seen!

Wang Tao instantly stopped in his tracks, watching it cautiously.

When the small zombie was about four large floor tiles away, approximately three meters, it spread its arms and suddenly lunged at Wang Tao!

Whoosh—

Although Wang Tao was caught off guard by the small zombie’s sprint, he had been wary of it. In the moment it approached, he stepped to the side, dodging it.

The small zombie failed to grab him, but didn’t stop moving and took a few more steps forward before coming to a halt. Then, it slowly turned around and continued towards Wang Tao.

“Heh…”

Just like before, once it was around four large floor tiles away from Wang Tao, it opened its arms and lunged at him again.

This time Wang Tao didn’t dodge but instead raised a foot and kicked straight into the small zombie’s chest.

[-3]

The small zombie’s arms, not even half the length of Wang Tao’s long legs, flailed after being kicked in the chest, but Wang Tao had thick books strapped to his lower legs and felt no fear.

But Wang Tao wasn’t being careless; he was trying to gauge the small zombie’s strength. Feeling the force on his foot, Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.

“For its size, its strength is almost like that of an ordinary zombie…”

Though surprised, Wang Tao suddenly exerted force in his foot.

The small zombie, being light, was kicked into the air by Wang Tao and slammed against the wall.

[-26]

That hit seemed to have collided with its head.

“Roar!”

The small zombie seemed a bit angry and came at Wang Tao again.

It still approached quickly until it was about three meters away, then threw its arms out and lunged at Wang Tao in a sprint.

Wang Tao repeated the same move, kicking out again. But this time, he didn’t hold back and kicked it right in the face.

Bang!

[-64]

He kicked it flying, and its jaw shattered from the impact.

Bang!

[-37]

Then the back of its head hit the wall again.

“It seems to only know this one move…”

Wang Tao pondered as he watched the small zombie contort its body to get up. This time, he didn’t use his foot; he switched to the long-handled sheep’s horn hammer instead.

“Heh…”

The small zombie continued its sprint towards Wang Tao, who grasped the hammer with one hand and, as it neared, brutally smashed it down.

Bang!

[-236]

[234/600]

The hammer strike was dead on, smashing right onto the little zombie’s forehead, directly depleting one third of its HP!

“Its defense seems lower, probably because of its weaker physical constitution before…”

Wang Tao had seen online that the stronger the physical build of a person, the stronger the zombie they would become after infection and mutation.

This little zombie was different from the ordinary ones, so Wang Tao tentatively called it a special zombie. But since it was only a child before infection, with a small body, light weight, and poor physical constitution, it made sense that its defensive power was lacking after the mutation.

Of course, that was relative to Wang Tao. If it were an ordinary person, whether they could even break its defense would be a question.

While pondering, the little zombie tenaciously stood up again.

But this time it did not sprint. Instead, like ordinary zombies, it stalked towards Wang Tao with its arms flailing menacingly, although it was still faster than the regular ones.

Wang Tao dodged twice and, having confirmed there were no other special attributes on the little zombie, he wound up and kicked it straight up to the ceiling!

[-79]

[-26]

After the little zombie landed, Wang Tao kicked out again.

Bang!

[-4]

This kick landed on the little zombie’s stomach, causing no real damage. However, like a rubber ball, it was kicked against the wall by Wang Tao once more.

[-32]

[93/600]

Looking at the remaining one-sixth of HP, Wang Tao’s mouth curled under his mask.

At least three more kicks to go!

This was definitely not any form of retaliation against the naughty child; he simply wanted to test how strong this special zombie was.

“Roar~”

The little zombie, undeterred by repeated failures, got up and approached Wang Tao again.

Bang!

…

Bang!

…

Bang!

Splat—

[-2]

[0/600]

Looking at the little zombie whose head he had kicked open, Wang Tao somewhat disdainfully wiped his shoe on its clothes.

Whew—

Feeling refreshed!

He began to tally up the spoils of battle.

First was the HP gained from killing the sprinting little zombie, which, like the one capable of stealth he had encountered before, directly added 20 HP!

Wang Tao’s HP reached [185/185]!

Next was the half-transparent bundle that the little zombie dropped. With just a thought, Wang Tao had the package zip into his body.

[Obtained: Running Potion (Small) x1]

[Running Potion (Small): After injection, lower limb strength increases, running speed improves by 10%-100% (the stronger the constitution, the greater the enhancement), lasts for 10 minutes, cools down in 12 hours]

Nice stuff!

Wang Tao’s eyes lit up.

This was an injector similar in appearance to the “Stealth Potion (Small)” but its effects were so much stronger than the stealth potion!

The stealth potion could only be used for hiding, but this running potion could increase movement speed by 10%-100%!

Moreover, the speed increase depended on one’s constitution, the stronger it was, the greater the boost!

Wang Tao’s physical constitution was definitely not weak; even a 10% increase could be a life-saving skill at critical moments!

The chances of success in finding diesel outside also went up!

If it could boost speed by 100%… Hiss, dare not think, dare not think!

After placing the running potion into his Space Backpack, Wang Tao started to scour the room for more spoils of battle, deciding not to touch the little zombie’s corpse since he had kicked it to bits…
