“Phew—”
Wang Tao retracted his horned hammer, feeling the surging strength in his hands, he grinned.
In the corridor of Building 3, there were only four Ordinary Zombies, and he had dispatched them without much effort.
After killing these four zombies, his HP had officially broken through five hundred.
With every hundred points of HP gained, he would receive a slight enhancement to his physical condition, and now with five hundred HP, he felt like his body was brimming with strength!
“Might as well clean out this building today…
The boost in his strength made Wang Tao a little ambitious.
However, the reason he dared to take such a risk wasn’t just because his strength had increased, but also because of Ding Yuqin-who could replenish his blood. This greatly improved his margin for error.
in addition, he had many military medical kits, Inhibitors… all of which were key to boosting his confidence.
So, Wang Tao spent the entire afternoon cleaning out all 12 households in Building 3 of their zombies!
In fact, there weren’t as many zombies as Wang Tao had imagined; out of 12 households, only 8 had zombies, totaling io zombies. Together with the previous four, there were only 14 in the building.
But among these 14 zombies, there were two Hiders, which dropped a bottle of “Stealth Potion (Small)” and a bottle of “Stealth Potion (Medium)” respectively—the latter was simply a godsend for going out!
As for that small Stealth Potion capable of evading human perception, Wang Tao didn’t yet know its use. Perhaps it would be useful later on.
These 14 zombies brought Wang Tao an increase of 95 points to his HP limit; his total HP was just shy of breaking six hundred.
But as night was about to fall, Wang Tao decided not to take any more risks. It was important to take all the essential supplies from these houses back home before darkness settled in.
After spending some time, he finally managed to bring all the food back home before the night completely fell.
“So much…”
Although Ding Yuqin already knew of the loot, seeing so much stuff with her own eyes, she was still very astonished. How had she never realized that Wang Tao was so capable!
“I’m going to take a shower. Sister-in-law, you sort things out.”
“Okay!”
These past two days, Ding Yuqin’s mood had been very relaxed. Moreover, with Wang Tao feeding her well every day and giving her some vitamins, her HP finally replenished today. She was no longer looking sickly and was able to do some heavy work. Now, Wang Tao found it more convenient to direct her.
After tidying up, they had dinner together, and then Wang Tao patted Ding Yuqin on the bottom.
“Let’s go, sister-in-law.”
“Ah? Where to?”
“To your place to rest.”
The color rose in Ding Yuqin’s cheeks, and she followed behind Wang Tao with
her head down.
To be fair, although she had always been against Wang Tao spending the night at her house, the guilty pleasure of each encounter was almost becoming too much for her to resist.
“I’m such a bad woman…”
Ding Yuqin’s face was flushed with shame.
The next day, Wang Tao continued clearing out zombies.
Happy Community had a total of only four buildings. Building 4, where he lived, had already been cleaned up. Building 3 was cleared out yesterday, now only Buildings 1 and 2 remained.
It took a day to take care of Building 2.
There were more zombies in Building 2 than in Building 3, a total of 22. However, most of them were elderly zombies whose own strength was not as good as that of the younger zombies.
After dealing with all the zombies in this building, Wang Tao’s HP soared to [710/710]!
From over five hundred to over seven hundred HP, his physical condition was enhanced slightly twice in a row! He was almost becoming addicted to this exhilarating sensation.
“We’ve only got one more building left, no rush, rest well, we’ll come back tomorrow!”
Wang Tao still had plenty of physical strength, but he was somewhat drained mentally and a bit fatigued.
After all, he had been killing zombies inside the houses, constantly on the alert for Stealth Zombie sneak attacks, so his mind had been extremely tense, making exhaustion inevitable.
That night, Wang Tao went up to the rooftop terrace to turn on the walkie-talkie for a while, trying to see if he could make contact with others.
As it turned out, he made contact with Ou Yingying again, but this time Sun Weiguang was awake.
Compared to Ou Yingying, who only cried and begged for help, Sun Weiguang seemed much calmer.
He painted a big picture for Wang Tao, claiming he had connections at the Survivor Base and if Wang Tao could save them, he would definitely get Wang Tao a good job once they arrived at the Survivor Base.
It was only then that Wang Tao learned that within the Suzaku University Survivor Base, the division of labor was very clear, even somewhat strict. To put it euphemistically, it meant every individual could make the most of their abilities.
To put it bluntly, it meant everyone had to work! Only by working could one earn food and safety!
There were many kinds of jobs inside the base, and the base would assign jobs according to each person’s abilities and characteristics.
Jobs didn’t pay a salary, but one could earn corresponding Contribution Points. These points could be exchanged for many things, including food, weapons, and even safety.
in any case, as long as you worked hard, there would be bread, and there would be milk too.
However, since there were many types of jobs, even tailor-made for individuals, there inevitably arose a hierarchy of prestige and remuneration within these jobs.
Sun Weiguang meant that he had the ability to arrange a high-paying, low-risk job for Wang Tao. As long as Wang Tao came to rescue them, he would keep his word.
Wang Tao naturally scoffed at this, thinking if Sun Weiguang really had that ability, someone would have already gone to pick him up; would he have ended up in this situation?
Wang Tao gave a few noncommittal responses, urging them to hang on and wait for rescue, before shutting off the walkie-talkie.
“This Suzaku University Survivor Base sounds quite interesting, might be worth taking a look…”
An interested expression appeared on Wang Tao’s face.
The next day.
Wang Tao continued with his zombie-clearing work.
Between clearing and scavenging loot, it took him another day. The zombies in Building 1 were almost completely wiped out by him. Wang Tao’s HP had also reached exactly eight hundred.
The reason he said “almost” was that Wang Tao intentionally left two zombies with all limbs broken.
“Wang Tao, I—I beg you, I can’t do it…”
Ding Yuqin hadn’t expected that Wang Tao would actually leave her two zombies to kill.
Wang Tao narrowed his eyes.
“Sister-in-law, not following orders again, are we?”
“I… I’ll do anything but kill zombies! I really will!”
Ding Yuqin quickly clung to Wang Tao’s arm, resorting to coquettish charms and layering on an enticing allure.
Having never even killed a chicken, she dared not kill zombies, the mere thought was terrifying… even quadriplegic zombies scared her…
Looking at the pitiful Ding Yuqin, Wang Tao remained unmoved.
He had not an ounce of pity for a beauty, and without hesitation, he grabbed Ding Yuqin by the waist and hoisted her over his shoulder.
Ding Yuqin let out a startled cry.
“Ah-”
“No discussion.”
Wang Tao wanted to observe what it was like for an ordinary person to kill zombies. Moreover, this was for Ding Yuqin’s own good; she would not be allowed to refuse..
