Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 368:

Chapter 368: Chapter 173: Betting_3

But now, it seems that doing this is no different from seeking death…

After reviewing the Monster Manual, Yang Changhong thanked Wang Tao very solemnly:

“Thank you! If I hadn’t seen this manual, I would have had no idea how dangerous it is out there!”

“No need to be polite.” Wang Tao waved his hand and then asked curiously, “Didn’t you guys pick up any airdrop supplies?”

“No, we saw the plane, but this time the airdrop was different from before. It used to be a fixed drop over a certain city, but now it feels pretty random; we don’t know where it’s going to drop next, some have even landed deep in the wilderness, impossible to find…”

Yang Changhong’s face showed a trace of helplessness. They had seen an airdrop this time, but they had come from another route and hadn’t seen the exact location of the drop right away. Later, one of her subordinates found it and was waiting for her to get there, but Wang Tao got there first… It was as if they had worked for nothing.

“The airdrop locations are pretty random…”

Wang Tao frowned a bit.

Back in Shuize County, every time there was an airdrop, it always landed in the city; he had not encountered the situation described by Yang Changhong.

Why would the pilots intentionally make it harder to retrieve the airdrops? And weren’t they aware of the monster situation in the wild?

Wang Tao was puzzled, but since he didn’t understand these matters, he could only shake his head.

He would observe more carefully if there were any future airdrops.

…

At noon.

The convoy stopped.

Because someone had seen several Elite Zombies gathering together.

Elite Zombies have Crystal Cores, and no one wants to miss the chance to get them upon encounter.

But now that Level 2, Elite Zombies had appeared, not everyone could distinguish between Level 1 Zombies and Level 2 Zombies. So now, seeing an Elite Zombie, everyone is very cautious.

Of course, it’s different if there’s a Second-order Superpower Owner in the team.

After Yang Changhong’s subordinate saw a few Elite Zombies, they immediately informed her, and she notified Wang Tao.

“There are Elite Zombies… let me check.”

After receiving Yang Changhong’s message, Wang Tao climbed onto the roof of the vehicle. His enhanced vision easily located the group of zombies Yang Changhong mentioned.

“One Spitter, one Attacker, one Terrorizer, plus some Ordinary Zombies… all Level 1.”

Wang Tao was a bit disappointed; there were no Level 2 Zombies.

Of course, a mosquito’s leg is still meat; it can’t go to waste.

“They’re all Level 1 Zombies, what does Boss Yang say?”

Wang Tao called out to Yang Changhong, who was not far away.

Yang Changhong put down her binoculars and looked at Wang Tao somewhat surprisingly.

She could also tell the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 Zombies, but she had to be closer and come to a conclusion based on her perception of danger and experience with zombies.

And Wang Tao could judge from so far away that they were Level 1 Zombies?

“Are you sure these are all Level 1 Zombies?” Yang Changhong asked, then explained, “It’s not that I don’t trust you, but if we make a mistake in our judgment, someone might die because of it, and I have to be responsible for their lives.”

“I’m certain. Of course, I’m referring to this group of zombies. If other zombies come over, that’s a different story,”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

“Okay!”

Yang Changhong chose to trust Wang Tao; after all, they were teammates now. There was no need to sabotage anyone. Plus, they’d definitely need to go closer for observation later.

After thinking for a moment, she said to Wang Tao:

“Since they’re all Level 1 Zombies, there’s no real challenge for us. How about we see who can kill them faster? Whoever wins gets the Crystal Cores, naturally, and the winner can make a request that isn’t too excessive, and the other cannot refuse. How about that?”

After saying that, she deliberately licked her lips.

“Oh?”

Wang Tao looked at Yang Changhong’s seductive expression, instantly becoming somewhat interested.

“Sure, no problem!”

Wang Tao didn’t care about winning or losing; he cared about the Crystal Cores. These few Level 1 Elite Zombies were found by Yang Changhong’s people, and even if he wanted the Crystal Cores, it wouldn’t be right to argue over them.

But since Yang Changhong proposed a competition on who could kill faster, he was determined to secure the Crystal Cores!

“Don’t worry about making noise attracting Mad Demon Zombies; just go all out. Mad Demon Zombies are not as fast as our cars. Once we kill them, we can leave, and they won’t be able to catch us,”

Yang Changhong also thoughtfully reminded Wang Tao.

Wang Tao raised an eyebrow; what did this woman mean, was she looking down on him?

Of course, Yang Changhong wasn’t looking down on him. She wanted to compete with Wang Tao mainly to assess the strength of Wang Tao and his companions.

Using a Level 1 Crystal Core and a promise as a stake wasn’t a small deal. That should get them to take it seriously, right? Especially Xu Xiaojun, Yang Changhong really wanted to know if this Second-order Superpower Owner was stronger than herself!

As for the possibility of losing… she definitely wouldn’t, because she had a Speed Ability!

The convoy slowly approached the group of zombies.

They stopped about forty or fifty meters away from them.

Yang Changhong clearly had experience too; this distance would not allow the Zombie Attackers to reach them immediately even if discovered, because the Attackers’ rush distance was only about thirty meters. This would give them enough reaction time.

Other survivors got excited when they heard that their boss was going to compete with Wang Tao and his group. They had only seen their boss, a Level 2 Ability User, in action, and they also wanted to know how other Level 2 Ability Users compared.

However, to everyone’s surprise, it wasn’t Xu Xiaojun who made a move on Wang Tao’s side, but Wang Tao himself.

Not using a Second-order Superpower Owner?

People were confused, even Yang Changhong frowned, but she didn’t say much more.

“Are you ready?”

“Wait a moment.”

Wang Tao took a Recurve Bow out of the vehicle.

Everyone: “?”

“Alright, we can start now.”

While everyone was still somewhat stunned, Wang Tao drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

Whoosh—

In an instant, all three Elite Zombies were shot in the head, with their HP bars emptied.

“I win.”
