Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 367
Chapter 367: Chapter 173: Betting_2
She took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and then spoke,
“Mr. Wang, since you knew, why didn’t you remind me!”
Yang Changhong’s tone carried a hint of resentment.
“Didn’t I give you the manual? That’s all in there, on page nine. Didn’t you see it?”
Wang Tao asked in return.
He truly hadn’t done it on purpose. He thought Yang Changhong had seen it, and at the time, he was wondering how she would solve the energy issue. Had she really not seen it?
“…Fine! I’ll study it more carefully.”
Yang Changhong didn’t truly regret it, after all, it was indeed a valuable item, and she had also obtained 10 bottles of Inhibitor. But the limitation on energy was too great, she would have to think of a way to solve it.
As Yang Changhong was about to end the communication, Wang Tao happened to have some things to ask her, so he spoke up,
“I haven’t ventured far since the apocalypse began. Could you tell me about what you have seen?”
“I can…”
Yang Changhong didn’t hide anything and roughly shared what she had observed on her journey.
After listening to her, Wang Tao felt a bit wistful.
It was as he expected, the situations elsewhere were also pretty dire.
Despite it being over four months since the apocalypse, survivors were still in early stages of struggling to survive. Being able to set up a small survivor’s camp was already impressive.
She had actually seen a few large Survivor Bases, including one that had been organized by the Government before. But these bases had all fallen one after the other.
From her words, it was apparent that leading so many people as apocalypse nomads wasn’t her choice, but rather she had no alternative.
This time, her goal was the large Survivor Base in Zijing City. If Zijing City had this base, and it was decent, then she might just end her wandering life.
As for zombies, of course, she had encountered many, some of which Wang Tao had never seen.
However, she had not come across any mysterious monsters, nor had she seen the monster manual in the airdrops, so she was unaware of the dangerous wild creatures.
“Monster Manual? What’s that?”
Upon hearing this, Yang Changhong suddenly asked.
“It’s the information from the airdrop. Haven’t you come across any airdrops?”
Wang Tao was a bit surprised.
“No… Stop the car, I’m coming to you!”
Yang Changhong decisively halted the convoy and got out of her vehicle to climb into Wang Tao’s.
Many survivors watching this scene felt a pang in their hearts.
“It’s over, the boss might really like that guy… My heart hurts!”
Unaware of her subordinates’ murky thoughts, Yang Changhong hurriedly asked after getting into the car,
“What is the Monster Manual? Can you show me?”
“No problem.”
Wang Tao immediately took out the manual and handed it to Yang Changhong.
They say that a man looks most attractive when he’s serious, and the same can be said for women.
Despite her skin having roughened from the harsh life of post-apocalyptic wandering, Yang Changhong had attractive features: an oval face, high nose bridge, big eyes, small mouth… Her overall proportions were harmonious, making her a standard beauty.
Especially when she was carefully reading the manual, with her eyebrows slightly knitted, she looked incredibly charming…
Wang Tao promptly averted his gaze.
“Damn, it’s been a while since I ‘replenished HP’ with my sister-in-law, I’m starting to miss it…”
He shook his head, feeling a bit helpless.
There’s an old saying that three years in the military makes a sow seem as fair as Diaochan. And Yang Changhong was no sow but a standard beauty. It was normal for him to have thoughts any regular man would have.
Of course, it’s not like there were no women around Wang Tao. Jiang Shixue was enough to outshine countless other women, and she was also very compliant toward him.
To say Wang Tao had no thoughts about Jiang Shixue would be impossible. The world had been post-apocalyptic for months, no one would hold themselves to the moral standards of peaceful times. Besides, Jiang Shixue was 19, he was 26; even before the apocalypse, that would have been perfectly normal.
But Jiang Shixue was different from others, being in a half-human half-zombie state, her body was almost like a zombie’s. Wang Tao wouldn’t dare to make an excessive move, or else if he got infected, he’d have nowhere to cry…
As he was lost in his wild thoughts, Wang Tao suddenly felt someone staring at him.
He turned his head and saw Jiang Shixue’s bright, wide eyes.
“Ahem…”
Wang Tao felt a bit uneasy and somewhat evasively ruffled Jiang Shixue’s hair. Today, her hairstyle was twin ponytails, obviously done by him. Mainly because he didn’t know how to do other hairstyles. Ponytails were easy; Jiang Shixue’s hair was either twin or single ponytails every day…
Feeling the large hand on her head, Jiang Shixue gently narrowed her eyes and rubbed her head against Wang Tao’s palm like a kitten.
At that moment, Yang Changhong suddenly exclaimed, drawing Wang Tao’s attention.
“Ah? So these Night Demons are afraid of Ultraviolet Light! Damn!”
Perhaps feeling she had overreacted, Yang Changhong explained further,
“The night before last, we encountered a Night Demon. I was asleep at the time, and the others didn’t recognize what Level the zombie was, thinking it was a Level 2 Zombie… As a result, we lost three people. If it weren’t for the vehicles, we might have all died…”
Wang Tao shrugged his shoulders – with the capabilities of this group, meeting a Night Demon was essentially the same as being sitting ducks.
After sighing, Yang Changhong continued to read on.
“The monsters in the wild… Hiss!”
At this point, she suddenly felt perhaps her luck had been quite good? She had never encountered these types of monsters. Before today, she had thought the nights were safe, even considering, if she couldn’t find a suitable base, collecting more resources in the future and building a self-sufficient camp in the uninhabited wilderness.
