Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 336
Chapter 336: Chapter 163: Two Level 3 Zombies_1
Whoosh—
Wang Tao, holding Jiang Shixue, activated the built-in Ability Rush of his equipment. In an instant, he sprinted more than thirty meters, distancing himself from the blood-red zombie.
“Roar—”
The blood-red zombie let out an angry roar and charged towards Wang Tao at high speed.
“Such speed!”
After the Rush had ended, Wang Tao looked back at the zombie. It was fast, but not fast enough to catch up with him, for Wang Tao’s maximum sprint speed was not slow.
“Brother, I can walk by myself,”
the Jiang Shixue in his arms called out.
Upon hearing this, Wang Tao immediately set her down. After all, Jiang Shixue was even faster than Wang Tao. Although she was covered in blood, her injuries were not too severe, and escaping was certainly not a problem for her.
The Level 3 zombie behind them likely did not have a Speed Ability, especially since Wang Tao had taken a Running Potion, it was gradually left behind.
Just as they were about to escape, a blood-colored figure suddenly appeared ahead!
It seized the opportunity and lunged at Wang Tao!
Wang Tao was unable to dodge in time and was tackled to the ground.
“Such strength!”
Wang Tao felt as if he was pinned down by a mountain, completely unable to move!
“Roar—”
The blood-red zombie clutched Wang Tao tightly, then its triple-parted mouth split open, revealing rows of ferocious teeth, and it aimed for Wang Tao’s face, about to bite.
Bang!
Jiang Shixue suddenly appeared from the side, kicking the blood-red zombie and sending it flying. Then she grabbed Wang Tao and ran.
This delay allowed the other blood-red zombie from behind to catch up.
“Damn it!”
Wang Tao cursed inwardly. He had almost escaped from one blood-red zombie, and now another one had appeared!
Being pursued by two Level 3 zombies, Wang Tao was feeling the pressure. Even though he was not seriously injured, continuing like this wasn’t a solution.
“We need to find a place to hide!”
Wang Tao looked around but saw no place to take cover—ordinary houses would certainly not hold back zombies of this caliber.
After being dragged by Jiang Shixue for a while, Wang Tao saw a warehouse-like place ahead.
“Hmm? A food storehouse?”
Unbeknownst to them, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue had fled to the vicinity of the food storehouse.
The large doors of the storehouse were open, not a soul was around, and some scattered grains were on the ground.
Eldest Lu and the others must have already successfully transferred the food, but there were still plenty of bloodstains and signs of battle.
Clearly, they must have had some accident while transferring the food—it might even be possible that there were zombies inside the storehouse!
But since they were able to transfer the food, they must have escaped the danger. Even if there were zombies inside, they would likely be similar to the Level 2 zombies, which Wang Tao could handle.
Looking at the thick iron door and the reinforced concrete walls, Wang Tao immediately said to Jiang Shixue:
“Let’s go inside the storehouse!”
“Okay!”
They entered the storehouse, then each pushed one of the heavy iron doors to close it and secured the chain and bolt behind the door.
“Roar—”
The two blood-red zombies had already caught up. Seeing Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue enter the storehouse and lock the door, they seemed even angrier. They howled outside and violently pounded on the door.
But the door was very sturdy, they couldn’t get in.
The commotion of the two blood-red zombies at the door eventually faded away, and it was unclear whether they had left or hidden themselves.
After confirming the door was secure, Wang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to assess the storehouse’s interior.
The storehouse had two levels, one above ground and one below.
The ground level was now empty, and it was unclear if everything had been moved by Eldest Lu’s team. Wang Tao felt the storehouse was quite large; it was unlikely that Eldest Lu could have moved everything so quickly, suggesting that the food did not fill the entire space.
There was also a heavy iron door on the way to the underground storage. The door was chained shut, and it was unknown what was inside.
Wang Tao was not in a hurry to go there; he used some medical packs on himself and Jiang Shixue and then took out some nutrient solution to replenish their energy.
“Does it hurt?”
Looking at some wounds on Jiang Shixue’s fair skin, Wang Tao asked with concern. Luckily, Jiang Shixue was not afraid of the zombie virus, or she would have been infected.
“It doesn’t hurt,”
Jiang Shixue shook her head.
After fighting with the Level 3 zombie for a while, Jiang Shixue’s HP had already dropped by one-third!
For ordinary humans, this would likely be difficult to endure. But it was not much for Jiang Shixue.
Wang Tao wiped the blood off her and treated the wounds. Jiang Shixue obediently let Wang Tao attend to her, her eyes glowing red as they kept fixed on him.
“All done.”
After a simple dressing, Wang Tao was ready to check the underground storage.
He wanted to know if Eldest Lu had left the share of food they had agreed upon for him.
Even though he couldn’t carry the food away, he could use the Food Compressor to turn it all into nutrient solution to carry with him.
Wang Tao removed the chain and opened the iron door leading underground, which was not as spacious as above ground but divided into six areas.
In the first area, there was a pile of sacks, Wang Tao checked, and these sacks were all filled with rice grain.
“Not bad!”
A satisfied smile appeared on Wang Tao’s face—this Eldest Lu was sensible.
But Wang Tao smelled a scent of blood… it wasn’t coming from the first area, but further back!
Just then, Jiang Shixue tugged at the hem of Wang Tao’s clothing, her eyes suddenly blazing with red light.
“I… I can smell that blood-red zombie’s scent!”
