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

She suddenly felt that the days ahead would be difficult to endure.

“Wang Tao, you must come back quickly!”

She silently chanted in her heart.

…

After Wang Tao left Zijin Base, he didn’t immediately leave Zijing City, instead, he took another turn around the downtown area.

Only after confirming several times that the fourth-order monster must have left did Wang Tao let Xu Xiaojun drive them out of Zijing City.

The Zijing City they had talked about before usually referred to the downtown area. All the major powers and such were located within the city center, including Zijin Base, which was relatively remote but still within the city limits.

Of course, Zijing City wasn’t just the downtown area, it also included suburbs, rural towns, and such, so Zijing City was very large. Leaving the bounds of Zijing City also took some time.

Wang Tao wasn’t in a hurry, feeling that this heavy rain wouldn’t stop for ten days and a half month, so time was plentiful.

However, when speaking of rain in the post-apocalyptic world, no matter the size, as soon as it rained, it definitely wasn’t a good thing!

Through past experiences, after every heavy rain, the overall strength of the zombies would increase a lot. This time was probably no exception…

Inside the car.

Wang Tao held Jiang Shixue’s hand, checking her attributes and physical condition.

There were four people in the car, three of them were level 3, with only Jiang Shixue stuck at level 2.

Although Jiang Shixue wasn’t in a hurry, Wang Tao was somewhat anxious.

After all, if she couldn’t ascend to level 3 after a long time, she would fall behind.

Of course, even though Jiang Shixue hadn’t reached level 3, her strength was still quite strong. However, Wang Tao felt that it would be even better if she could become stronger!

Wang Tao had tried many crystal cores with Jiang Shixue, including Ascension crystal cores and Omnipotent Crystal Cores, but she could not merge with any of them.

This left Wang Tao without a solution, but recently he had a lot of Zombie Culture Fluid, and since it was a waste to keep it, he would cultivate Jiang Shixue whenever he could.

Although the cultivation didn’t increase Jiang Shixue’s HP, it seemed there was a slight improvement in her physical fitness, so this wasn’t considered a waste…

In the passenger seat, Nie Siyan saw through the rearview mirror how Wang Tao cared so much for Jiang Shixue, and she felt envious. She wished she could get such attention from Wang Tao too.

But soon, Nie Siyan felt happy again. Because in the coming days, she could stay with Wang Tao all the time!

Previously, when they were in the base, Wang Tao was always with Lan Yulian, so she rarely had a chance to approach him.

She also felt that she couldn’t compete with Lan Yulian and had no competitive edge in front of her. At that time, she was afraid that Wang Tao would dump her.

Fortunately, Wang Tao didn’t choose to stay at Zijin Base and decided to go to Wuyang City, and he specifically kept her with him!

Thinking of this, Nie Siyan was very excited inside. The upcoming period would be her time “alone” with Wang Tao; she had to seize it!

At this moment, several elite zombies appeared on the road, among them one was a level 2 elite zombie, and the others were level 1 elite zombies.

Upon seeing this, Nie Siyan immediately told Xu Xiaojun to stop the car; she ran out into the heavy rain and easily handled the zombies. After collecting the crystal cores, she didn’t return to the passenger seat, but instead, brazenly moved to the back seat.

Wang Tao glanced at her but didn’t say much.

The vehicle was a luxurious, large, five-seater off-road car, and the rear space was very spacious. Wang Tao sitting in the middle didn’t feel crowded at all.

“Hehe, Brother Wang, crystal cores!”

Nie Siyan immediately passed the crystal cores to him.

A level 2 Jumping Crystal Core, faced with the level 3 Nie Siyan, that zombie didn’t even get a chance to jump before it was killed.

Wang Tao checked Nie Siyan’s HP; killing that level 2 elite zombie only increased her HP by 120, which was a slight boost to her current 40,000 HP. The other level 1 elite zombies didn’t increase her HP at all.

“After ascending to level 3, the HP gained from killing level 2 zombies is halved. Level 1 elite zombies don’t add any HP at all. This is similar to the situation at level 2. Hunting must focus on level 3 zombies from now on…”

Wang Tao thought silently.

He just didn’t know if there were many level 3 zombies in other places.

No matter the number, he was conflicted. After all, although more level 3 zombies meant more hunting opportunities to gain HP, it also meant more danger.

“Brother Wang, you’ve been working hard all day and night, you must be tired. Let me give you a massage,”

Nie Siyan whispered beside him.

Wang Tao always felt there was more to her words, but he didn’t refuse.

With his permission, Nie Siyan immediately began massaging Wang Tao.

And she really had good technique, making Wang Tao doze off.

“Not bad.”

A simple compliment made Nie Siyan incredibly happy.

She suddenly filled with confidence. She must seize this rare opportunity and try to raise her status in Wang Tao’s eyes! She didn’t aspire to reach the stature of Jiang Shixue or Lan Yulian; as long as she could rank as high as Xu Xiaojun, she would be satisfied!

Due to zombies’ senses being severely impaired by the rain, the journey was relatively smooth and safe. Occasional zombies were easily dealt with by Nie Siyan and Xu Xiaojun.

Thus, three days later, Wang Tao and his group finally left the bounds of Zijing City and officially entered Wuyang City.

The heavy rain continued unabated, growing even heavier.

Wang Tao planned to find a place to rest for a while.

The corrosive acid rain was rather severe; even the steel plates of the car were corroded. He needed to check and maintain the car. Otherwise, running in the corrosive acid rain like this, the car might be scrapped before they even reached the military base.

“There’s a town ahead… There seems to be a Survivor Base — wait, why does that person look somewhat familiar?”
