Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 97
Chapter 97: Chapter 84 Xiang Hongbin 3
Translator: 549690339
The gates closed again, and soldiers and staff inside the base rushed to inspect the vehicles and personnel.
Even if it was a committee member returning, the vehicles had to be checked for hidden zombies. It wasn’t a matter of distrust, but a single unnoticed zombie hidden in a vehicle would be an absolute disaster for the base. Therefore, on this matter, everyone had to undergo inspection. The only difference was that ordinary people had to be checked outside the gate, while those with status could be inspected inside.
At this moment, the door of the leading vehicle opened, and a man about thirty or forty years old, one meter seventy tall but with a burly figure fully armed got out. ’
“Damn!”
He frantically scratched his buzz cut and then fiercely kicked a piece of gravel on the ground.
“That’s Xiang Hongbin.”
Han Rui introduced from the side.
Wang Tao nodded, somewhat surprised by Xiang Hongbin’s attributes.
HP(721/815]
[Hidden Attributes: Valiant]
[Valiant: Fearless of danger, the more you fight, the stronger you become] [Internal Impurity: o%]
Wang Tao felt that Xiang Hongbin might be the strongest person he had seen so far.
With over eight hundred HP, he must have killed at least a hundred zombies, not too far from Wang Tao’s “104.0”.
Although Wang Tao had more HP, he purposely sought out zombies to kill- he would look for zombies to kill even when there were none left. That was because Wang Tao knew that killing zombies could increase his HP limit, and he could also scavenge materials from their bodies.
Xiang Hongbin, or other people in the base, although they also felt stronger after killing zombies, they probably wouldn’t deliberately seek out zombies to kill. After all, they couldn’t scavenge materials. Their main purpose for going out was to scavenge supplies and rescue survivors…
So Wang Tao was very surprised to see this HP.
Of course, he was not only surprised by the HP but also by his hidden attributes and internal impurity.
Wang Tao felt that his “Valiant” hidden attribute was quite good; it must directly increase combat power, which might explain why he had over eight hundred HP.
As for the last point about internal impurity, it showed that he had fused with a Zombie Core but had failed as he didn’t have a blue bar…
He’s quite a formidable character, indeed! Wang Tao couldn’t help but sigh. People in white protective suits quickly went over with umbrellas to inspect Xiang Hongbin’s eyes, but he didn’t take his frustration out on the staff.
The others also got out of the vehicles one after another, ignoring the heavy rain outside, bowing their heads slightly and silent. Wang Tao felt their morale was very low.
“My husband!”
Han Rui, upon seeing a figure get out of the vehicle, immediately ran over excitedly.
Wang Tao glanced over and saw that it was indeed Han Rui’s husband, Sun Weiguang, accompanied by Ou Yingying.
Sun Weiguang and Ou Yingying helped each other out of the vehicle, both looking somewhat trepidatious as if they had been quite frightened.
“Wei Guang!”
Han Rui suddenly shouted at that moment.
Startled by the shout, Sun Weiguang quickly followed the sound and saw Han Rui in her police uniform.
Sun Weiguang and Ou Yingying were stunned.
They rubbed their eyes, somewhat in disbelief. They had never expected to see Han Rui at Shuize Base.
Han Rui… Wasn’t she supposed to be dead?
Subconsciously, Sun Weiguang let go of Ou Yingying, nearly causing her to stumble.
Ou Yingying didn’t dare get angry, after all, she still vividly remembered how Han Rui had led them through all kinds of difficulties, and she was somewhat afraid of Han Rui.
“You, you’re actually not dead!” Sun Weiguang blurted out instinctively However, feeling that his words were inappropriate, he quickly corrected himself, “I mean, it’s great to see you’re alive!”
Han Rui didn’t care about these details; in fact, she even felt a bit reproachful when she saw Sun Weiguang let go of Ou Yingying:
“Wei Guang, could you please be more careful? You almost knocked Ou Yingying over!”
“I—”
Sun Weiguang stretched out his hand, momentarily uncertain whether he should help Ou Yingying, and she didn’t know if she should accept his support either.
Wang Tao, watching their awkward expressions from the side, found the scene rather amusing. Both Sun Weiguang and Ou Yingying seemed to have something to hide, and the sudden appearance of Han Rui left them somewhat at a loss.
Fortunately, after seeing Sun Weiguang wasn’t badly hurt, Han Rui steadied Ou Yingying.
“We set out with six people, and now that we’ve arrived at Shuize Base, only the three of us are left… It’s good that both of you are alive, or I would have been left all alone…”
Han Rui’s tone was filled with lament.
Both Sun Weiguang and Ou Yingying lowered their heads, lapsing into silence.
Han Rui thought they were just scared and didn’t think too much of it.
A staff member came over and checked Sun Weiguang and Ou Yingying’s eyes. “Both of you are fine!”
Upon hearing this, Han Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then she led the two to Wang Tao and introduced them to each other.
“Wang Tao, this is my husband Sun Weiguang, and this is my friend Ou Yingying.”
“Wei Guang, Yingying, this is Wang Tao. She’s the one who saved me and brought me to Shuize Base.”
Upon seeing Wang Tao’s physique, which was so strong it seemed inhuman, Sun Weiguang instinctively wanted to stand behind Han Rui.
Ymgying, on the other hand, stared at the bulging muscles on Wang Tao’s body with widened eyes. Could someone be as muscular as they were in the movies?
“Hello.”
Wang Tao spoke indifferently. The HP of these two was [50/100] and [47/100], respectively. It looked like they had managed quite well, without serious injuries.
“Hello, hello!”
Sun Weiguang and Ou Yingying quickly responded.
At that moment, Xiang Hongbin and the others had also finished their check-ups, when a staff member asked subconsciously:
“Where’s Little Wu?”
The soldiers remained silent.
Xiang Hongbin looked up at the sky, his tone harsh:
“Dead.”
It was then that Wang Tao understood why their morale seemed so low.
Han Rui tugged at Sun Weiguang’s clothes and quietly asked:
“What exactly happened?”
Sun Weiguang moved his lips but then glanced at Xiang Hongbin, whose mood was clearly not good, and dared not speak.
It was Ou Yingying who leaned in and whispered in Han Rui’s ear:
“On our way back, we encountered a special zombie and then… then Captain Xiang tried to hunt it down, but the zombie self-detonated… The soldier named Little Wu was killed in the explosion…”
Wang Tao raised his eyebrow.
Suicide bombing zombies? Could it be the one he saw yesterday? But he had seen suicide bombing zombies before, and their explosive power wasn’t that strong. He even faintly heard the explosion back at the base.
At this time, Sun Weiguang complained quietly:
“Captain Xiang used a homemade bomb to avenge that soldier, almost getting us killed as well…”
Wang Tao:
