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

Wang Tao’s understanding of the inhibitor was entirely from what was written

on paper. He wanted to see its effect firsthand.

If he could save Blondy, that would naturally be better.

If he couldn’t, he didn’t stand to lose anything, as he had 20 bottles of the inhibitor—missing one wouldn’t matter.

Holding the last bottle of inhibitor, Wang Tao walked out.

in just that short time, Blondy’s green HP bar was down to five dots of blood.

It was unclear whether he would die first after his HP ran out or… turn directly into a zombie?

Wang Tao squatted next to Blondy, looking at the black lines slowly appearing on his neck. He speculated that after infection, running out of HP would likely mean direct transformation into a zombie.

“Still alive? If you are, blink your eyes.”

Wang Tao asked Blondy.

Blondy lifted his one eye to look at Wang Tao, his gaze somewhat vacant, but he still blinked with difficulty.

Wang Tao took out a tube of the inhibitor and waved it in front of him.

“This is the inhibitor, something the Government developed to fight the

zombie virus.”

As soon as he said this, it was obvious that there was a glint of hope in Blondy’s

eyes.

“But it can’t completely detoxify you, it can only suppress the outbreak of the zombie virus. If I use the inhibitor on you now, you won’t mutate into a zombie, but it’s unclear when the virus might flare up again. You would need to continue using the inhibitor.”

Blondy showed no disappointment. In his current state, he wasn’t asking for much-being able to live even one more day would be enough to make him secretly happy.

“However, this inhibitor comes with serious side effects. Plus, only those with strong physical constitutions or willpower can use it. Otherwise, even if used, it’ll still be death. So, are you ready?”

Blondy used the last of his strength to start blinking frantically.

“Very good.”

Wang Tao nodded.

The inhibitor could be injected or taken orally.

But before pouring the inhibitor into his mouth, Wang Tao added:

■■Now, think about the reasons you can’t die. For example, your parents are still waiting for you to come to their rescue. Or, the woman who just got you tailed is still alive and well…”

“Mmm-”

Blondy’s one eye instantly widened, filled with a hue of resentment.

So Wang Tao said no more and directly squeezed Blondy’s mouth, forcing the entire bottle of the inhibitor down.

Gulp-

After drinking the inhibitor, Blondy’s whole body started to convulse.

It didn’t seem like suppression, but rather like he was about to turn into a zombie.

“Could it be ineffective…”

Wang Tao took a step back, his hand gripping the horned hammer.

If he saw Blondy’s HP turn red, he would not hesitate to deal a blow with the hammer.

After waiting another two minutes, watching as Blondy was down to the last drop of blood, with Wang Tao already lifting the hammer, suddenly, Blondy s body stopped shaking, the black lines on his neck began to fade, and his green HP bar surged to 20, but his HP limit dropped by 20 drops.

[20/85]

“Are you conscious?”

“…Yeah.”

Blondy, with his eyes closed, responded with a nasal “yeah.”

“How did it feel just now?”

“Pain… my whole body hurt… felt like my head was going to explode…”

“Good, welcome… back to life.”

Wang Tao patted his shoulder, then went to get a medical kit.

He administered some hemostatics and sedatives, and roughly, yet amateurishly, bandaged his wounds.

Throughout this, Blondy gritted his teeth.

After everything was taken care of, Blondy’s HP bar increased by another 10 drops.

The effects of the military medical kit were immediately apparent!

“Thank you…”

Blondy looked at Wang Tao with a face full of gratitude.

“NO need to thank me, I just wanted to test the effect of the inhibitor, using you as a guinea pig,” Wang Tao replied.

The truth really does hurt.

But Blondy was still very grateful. No matter what the masked man’s intentions were, the fact that he had saved him was undeniable. Especially since he had just been betrayed by someone he was close to, and then rescued by Wang Tao right after, his feelings of gratitude were beyond words…

“Smoke?”

Seeing Blondy’s eyes light up, Wang Tao took out a cigarette, roughly stuffed it into Blondy’s mouth, and lit it for him.

“Tell me about what happened to you guys, what exactly went down between you?”

Wang Tao was very curious about their situation, and didn’t mind getting the full story before he left.

After taking a deep drag, Blondy’s spirit seemed much improved, and he began to explain:

“I, my name is Wu Fei…”

Ten minutes later, Wang Tao had a rough understanding of the whole story. Before the apocalypse, Wu Fei worked at an electronics factory in the neighboring city, where he met Ou Yingying online, a fellow factory worker. To pursue Ou Yingying, he had expended a great deal of effort and resources, and only managed to win her over after half a year.

During the pursuit, Wu Fei gave a lot. After getting together with her, he gave even more. He treated Ou Yingying as if she were his wife.

However, the two had never progressed beyond hugging and holding each other until then. Ou Yingying said she wanted to save the best for their wedding night. Wu Fei was not only not angry when he heard this, but also very happy.

Because Ou Yingying mentioned “wedding night”! Didn’t that mean she was willing to marry him?

After the apocalypse hit, Wu Fei lost communication with his parents, and with his hometown being over a thousand kilometers away, he could do nothing.

Ou Yingying, on the other hand, took the initiative to call him for help, and Wu Fei agreed without a second thought.

Under the power of love, he even cleverly killed a zombie to see Ou Yingying! After that, they depended on each other for survival, with Wu Fei giving most of the food to Ou Yingying. When they ran out of food, Police Officer Han Rui and her husband Sun Weiguang showed up.

Officer Han Rui said they were heading to the Suzaku University Survivor Base and asked if they wanted to join.

Staying where they were was a death sentence, but following Han Rui provided not only food but protection… they had no choice.

Then, on the road, they encountered a few more people and set off together. On their journey, they were extorted by a ruthless group of survivors. If it weren’t for Han Rui, they might have all ended up as zombie fodder… After that came the situation Wang Tao saw; they had arrived at the water plant.

Although there were some disputes among the team, they were still relatively harmonious.

But on the first night, his girlfriend was scared by the zombies outside, screamed, and attracted a lot of zombies. During the escape, one of their companions got bitten.

Because of this incident, Sun Weiguang held a significant grudge against Ou Yingying—even not just Sun Weiguang, the faces of Han Rui and the male college student Li Cheng were also quite grim, but they didn’t say much more. Wu Fei even argued with Sun Weiguang to defend his girlfriend.

Afterwards, the group spent their time on the rooftop, all very agitated.

This morning, while he was sleeping, he heard a noise. Just as he opened his eyes and got up, without understanding the situation, he was pushed down by Ou Yingying.

Even now, he couldn’t understand why Ou Yingying wanted to kill him-he didn’t see the male college student fall to his death, and after he fell, he was too scared by the approaching zombies to notice the body behind him… Wang Tao looked at him with a hint of pity in his eyes.

Loyalty to the end, only to lose everything, Blondy. You really didn’t fare well! Since Wu Fei had satisfied his curiosity, he naturally had to satisfy Wu Fei’s doubts as well.

Thus, Wang Tao showed Wu Fei the video he had taken.

The unedited version, starting from the moment that despicable couple had hooked up.
