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

Chapter 575: Night Demon Chest Armor, Gratitude and Repayment (3)

Wang Tao smiled and nodded, after all, it was a kind gesture from them. The biggest threats in Duzhu Town had been eliminated by Wang Tao, so sending them off was no big deal.

Now that Yang Changhong had joined Wang Tao’s team, Wang Tao’s group consisted of five people with two vehicles.

Five people could actually fit in one vehicle, but due to the corrosive acid rain, many cars were no longer usable. Sometimes cars were even more expensive than Crystal Cores, and you couldn’t buy them even if you had the money. Thus, both vehicles had to be driven away.

Following behind the two cars were more than a dozen others; these belonged to the people from Duzhu Town Base who came to see them off.

They escorted them all the way to the border between Duzhu Town and another town, where they finally stopped.

“Mr. Wang, take care!”

Fan Peng, Cai Ping, and Tan Ya rolled down the windows and gestured to Wang Tao with clasped fists.

“You too, stay alive.”

Wang Tao waved to them.

In the eyes of the people watching, the two cars entered the rain and slowly disappeared from view.

“What are you guys going to do next?”

Fan Peng looked at Cai Ping, Tan Ya, and the others.

Cai Ping replied with a smile:

“We’re planning to go to Zijin Base! We originally thought about heading to a military base, but even Mr. Wang, who is so strong, can’t ensure his safety for certain. We thought it better to go to Zijin Base for more stability. Moreover, Mr. Wang said that there’s also a Level 3 ability user in Zijin Base, so we can seek refuge there.”

“We’re also planning to go to Zijin Base. We’ll be leaving in a few days,” Tan Ya also responded.

“Then I wish you a safe journey in advance…” Fan Peng sighed. To be honest, he wanted to go to Zijin Base too.

But there were too many survivors in Duzhu Town Base, they couldn’t just up and leave like Cai Ping and the others.

However, Fan Peng could start preparing in advance. Maybe once the survivors at the base improved their strength, they might also be able to move directly to Zijin Base…

“Suddenly, with so many people gone, it feels a bit unusual…”

Inside Yang Changhong’s car, she couldn’t help but remark, then she glanced at the back seat.

On the back seat, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue sat together. Jiang Shixue rested her head on Wang Tao’s chest, and he gently stroked her hair as if petting a cat.

This time, Wang Tao was riding in Yang Changhong’s car and brought Jiang Shixue along. Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan were in the car in front.

Wang Tao had switched cars for a simple reason, because Yang Changhong’s was more comfortable.

The car he had taken from Yang Changhong before was worth around a million. Wang Tao was attracted by its large space.

Yang Changhong’s own car, on the other hand, was worth five million and better in every aspect than the other car.

Of course, now in the apocalypse, after all the abuses they suffered, the cars certainly weren’t like they were before the apocalypse. But Yang Changhong was protective when using her car. As a fine specimen owned only by ladies, the interior of the car was well-maintained, making Wang Tao’s ride very comfortable.

“How did you manage when you were alone before?”

Wang Tao asked in return.

“I… I don’t know… I somehow muddled through. Maybe it was the obsession with finding my sister that kept me going… Should I tell you about my sister?”

Yang Changhong’s eyes suddenly lit up; she realized she hadn’t really shared details of her sister with Wang Tao.

“Sure,” Wang Tao nodded.

“My sister is a bit older than Little Xue, just starting her sophomore year in college. She’s really rebellious and doesn’t listen to our parents, but for some reason, she listens to me. My parents dote on her, but I’ve never spared her the rod! Haha…”

“…After the apocalypse began, I was at the company, and she was escaping with her classmates. During our last call, she told me she wasn’t actually scared of me at all; she only pretended to be to get pocket money from me. If we ever meet again, she said she’s going to beat me up! Heh, if we meet again, if I don’t whoop her butt into bloom, then I’m not her big sister! That little brat better wait for it!”

“…”

Yang Changhong talked while driving.

The conversation was mostly one-sided, with Wang Tao quietly playing the listener.

The cars drove on the national highway; despite the heavy rain, there were still zombies wandering about.

Wang Tao avoided them if he could, and if not, he let Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan get out of the car and deal with them.

They traveled without encountering any major danger until it was close to dark. The car didn’t move very fast, as various messages suggested that Wuyang City was very dangerous, so it was best for Wang Tao to be cautious.

“Let’s rest up ahead.”

There was an abandoned gas station ahead, which was a good chance to check for any gasoline.

“Okay.”

The two cars stopped one after another outside the gas station.

Upon getting out of the car, Wang Tao immediately used his Perception Ability to scan the area.

“There are a few Level 2 zombies in the building, and a few in those cars…”

With directives from Wang Tao, Yang Changhong and the others immediately took up their weapons and headed straight for the zombies.

Moments later, the gas station was cleared out.

Not a drop of fuel was left in the station’s tanks, but there was some gasoline in the abandoned vehicles nearby, which Wang Tao siphoned out for future use.

The group tidied up the inside of the building, and by that time, it was already dark. After assigning night watch duties, Wang Tao said to everyone:

“Alright, rest up. We’ll get up early and continue on our way.”

“Okay.”

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, while Wang Tao was still asleep, he was suddenly awoken by a buzzing sound.

“Brother Wang, there’s an air drop plane!”

Xu Xiaojun, on the last watch, rushed in immediately.

“I’ll check it out!”

Wang Tao picked up the military walkie-talkie, then went outside and saw a black dot in the sky in the distance.

“Is it okay to fly a plane in such heavy rain, and the frequency of these airdrops seems too high lately…”

Wang Tao didn’t understand much about this and frowned.

However, he still took out the walkie-talkie and immediately tried to contact the pilot.

“This is Wang Tao… ”

Wang Tao tried to make contact for a while, but like last time, there was no response.

But when the plane flew overhead, a large number of airdrops fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Yang Changhong and the others were very excited. Only Wang Tao could get the airdrops!

But Wang Tao’s eyebrows were furrowed.

“What exactly is going on? Why won’t Colonel Luo respond? Could the equipment really be broken…”
