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

“Automated defense facilities?”

Wang Tao was somewhat curious, but he didn’t ask further.

Under He Jijun’s command, the two vehicles headed toward the gate.

He Jijun said there were several gates to the base, and naturally, he was leading Wang Tao to the closest one.

Wang Tao also tried to contact the military base using the military walkie-talkie, but there was no response; it was unclear if the other side had received the message.

The two vehicles carefully navigated around the perimeter of the military base for a while, and finally, they saw a security checkpoint.

“My God…”

However, upon seeing the situation here, the expressions on the faces of Wang Tao and his group turned grim.

The entrance was nearly blocked by abandoned vehicles, and a large group of zombies was wandering around, some of them clearly in military uniforms.

The checkpoint gate was open, and one could vaguely see the high grass taller than a human and the zombies in the grass.

“Has the military base… fallen?”

He Jijun’s eyes became distant. Although he had mentally prepared for this, it was still difficult to see it with his own eyes.

But Wang Tao shook his head.

“No, the military base hasn’t fallen!”

“Hmm?”

He Jijun looked at Wang Tao in confusion, and Wang Tao explained:

“Military supply planes have been making airdrops continuously since the outbreak began, for several months now. The latest airdrop was just the day before I met you!”

“What? There’s still airdropping? And recently?”

He Jijun found it hard to believe.

Seeing He Jijun’s reaction, Wang Tao knew he probably hadn’t seen any airdrops.

So Wang Tao gave a brief explanation.

After listening to Wang Tao’s explanation, He Jijun felt bewildered.

However, there was no need for Wang Tao to joke about such matters, and he quickly said:

“If there are still living people in the military base, then they probably wouldn’t just ignore this place, right…”

“Perhaps because the personnel at the military base have been greatly reduced, they were unable to manage such a large base and had to shrink their defensive perimeter?”

Wang Tao suggested, frowning.

“That’s also a possibility… We need to go in and see!”

The two vehicles couldn’t proceed as the abandoned vehicles outside were numerous. Therefore, Wang Tao parked the cars in the woods at a concealed spot, and everyone got out and put on their armor. Wang Tao took out two bottles of alcohol and then prepared to walk over.

Uncertain about what was inside the military base, or whether there were any particularly strong zombies, Wang Tao, out of caution, handed out several Stealth Potions to everyone.

“This is a Stealth Potion…”

Wang Tao gave a brief explanation.

He Jijun was aware of the Stealth Crystal Core, but it was his first time hearing about the Stealth Potion, which left him utterly amazed.

Soon, everyone except Jiang Shixue and Wang Tao had injected themselves with the Stealth Potion.

Jiang Shixue didn’t need it because she was already a zombie by nature and didn’t require it. Wang Tao didn’t need it because he had previously merged with a Spirit ability that allowed him to control some weaker zombies. He could move through these zombie groups without much trouble.

It was still raining heavily, with the sound of raindrops pitter-pattering as they hit the ground.

The zombies wandering around the entrance of the military base seemed irritable, occasionally emitting growls.

Wang Tao and the rest, drenched in rain, swiftly moved through the zombies.

Under the combined effect of the heavy rain and the Stealth Potion, they managed to reach the gate without incident. The gate was only slightly ajar; Xu Xiaojun reached out and forcibly pried it open.

Screech—

An unpleasant scraping noise attracted the attention of many zombies, and Wang Tao and his group quickly slipped inside.

The rain severely impaired the zombies’ perception, and coupled with the Stealth Potion, the zombies that noticed the noise only roared a few times before dispersing slowly.

“It feels so desolate…”

Yang Changhong, having killed a zombie with an ax, murmured as she looked at the scenery before her.

Looking around, all she could see were weeds taller than her, which hardly resembled a military base at all.

Wang Tao, being tall, could see the situation in the distance more clearly.

“There are buildings over there…”

Then he looked toward He Jijun.

After all, he was unfamiliar with the place and didn’t know where survivors might be located.

“Let’s go, let’s head over there!”

He Jijun pointed in the direction Wang Tao was looking and said.

“Okay.”

Wang Tao extended his Perception to the maximum to avoid being ambushed by zombies.

The military base was vast, and it took Wang Tao and his companions a while to approach this cluster of buildings.

“There’s another defensive line here!”

A high wall surrounded the perimeter of these buildings.

Under the wall, numerous zombies were active, and the wall itself was covered with barbed wire and even had electrical arcs flashing through it!

“It’s still electrified!”

Wang Tao was surprised.

“But there’s no one manning the watchtowers…”

There were watchtowers at regular intervals along the high walls, but they were empty.

However, these weren’t the main concerns; the question was how to get inside.

Wang Tao looked at Nie Siyan.

Nie Siyan possessed the ability to jump, and although the wall was high, she could get over it with a double jump against the wall.

But if the barbed wire was electrified, were there other defenses inside, such as the automatic shooting weapons that He Jijun had mentioned earlier? If there were, Nie Siyan would become a target by jumping inside…

Seeing Wang Tao’s gaze, Nie Siyan tensed up inside.

She had an idea of what Wang Tao was thinking, but she didn’t dare say much. Instead, she looked at Wang Tao with a pitiful expression, hoping he wouldn’t make her the cannon fodder.
