BXBX NOVEL Chapter 49 - 49 The Second Terrorizer_l
“Damn, could I have possibly jinxed it any worse…”
Wang Tao was dumbfounded as he looked at a “Terrorizer” zombie not far away.
He had casually wished to encounter a Big Hammer Zombie, but he hadn’t expected to run into one so soon!
Detour? There was still time to take a detour.
But to be honest, seeing the Terrorizer, he somewhat didn’t want to leave. After all, this zombie could drop a Shockwave Zombie Core!
“What should I do?”
Wang Tao glanced at the Terrorizer in the middle of the road in the distance and then checked the remaining time of the Stealth Potion below his HP bar.
“The effect of the Stealth Potion still has 40 minutes, and it will take about 20 minutes for me to go back, which means, I still have 20 minutes…”
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Tao steeled his heart!
“Let’s give it a try, and if it doesn’t work out, I’ll retreat!”
Wang Tao slowly parked his car in an alleyway on the side of the street which was a dead end, cluttered with a lot of rotting garbage, but no zombies.
After getting out of the car, Wang Tao carefully surveyed his surroundings, then approached the door of a nearby house.
The door was open, and inside was chaos, with a lot of black bloodstains on the floor and walls.
Wielding a horned hammer, Wang Tao entered cautiously, searching around. All the food and such was gone, but he found what he wanted.
“Two glass seasoning bottles…”
The bottles were empty, saving Wang Tao the trouble of cleaning them out.
He went on to rummage through the next two neighboring houses—although he only found one glass bottle, he did find a bag of laundry detergent.
“So many bottles are broken, what a pity… But three Molotov cocktails should be enough!”
Wang Tao returned to his car, took out a can of gasoline, and filled each of the three glass bottles with a bit more than half but not more than two-thirds full of gasoline. The gasoline shouldn’t be filled to the brim, otherwise, it might not ignite.
After filling the bottles with gasoline, Wang Tao added different ingredients to each of the Molotov cocktails.
The first bottle was mixed with sugar to extend the burning time.
The second bottle was mixed with flour to increase the burning temperature.
The third bottle was mixed with laundry detergent to boost its stickiness…
Finally, he stuffed the mouths of the bottles as much as possible and inserted a piece of cloth as a wick.
This made three simple Molotov cocktails—oh, there was one more step, the bottles had to be wiped clean!
Some gasoline had spilled on the bottles while pouring, and if not cleaned off, it could burn him as well.
After making sure everything was ready, Wang Tao took a deep breath, grabbed all the equipment he could carry, including a handgun, and then got out of the car and headed towards the Terrorizer zombie.
The effect of his Stealth Potion was still active; as long as he didn’t get too close to the zombies, he would most likely not attract their attention.
When he was about ten meters away from the Terrorizer, Wang Tao stopped.
This Terrorizer resembled the ones he had encountered before, dressed in work clothes, towering over two meters tall, and wielding a reinforced concrete hammer as well.
But this one seemed more ferocious, and it had more HP.
[1200/1200]
He guessed its strength might be even greater.
However, strength didn’t matter.
After all, Wang Tao had no intention of a fair fight this time.
After thoroughly scanning his surroundings, Wang Tao noticed an old two – story building.
The small building was directly under the sun, so if he stood on top of it and the Terrorizer tried to attack him, it would have to face the sunlight!
The door to the building was locked. Looking through the broken glass of the security window revealed that the inside appeared to have been through a fierce battle, with bloodstains everywhere. Many pieces of furniture blocked the main door—picking the lock was pointless.
He glanced at the building’s exterior walls; the windows and other protrusions offered numerous handholds for climbing.
Without a second thought, Wang Tao grabbed his stuff and started climbing the wall.
A few minutes later, Wang Tao reached the rooftop of the second floor.
Looking at the Terrorizer nearby, Wang Tao felt an itch to act, but he didn’t attack immediately, instead, he took out a long rope.
This rope, which was sturdy, had been in the pickup truck.
He tied one end of the rope to the railing on the rooftop and threw the other end down.
After ensuring that everything was in place, Wang Tao took a deep breath. He picked up several bricks and threw them at the Terrorizer in the distance.
Thwack, thwack, thwack—
His accuracy with bricks wasn’t great, only one managed to hit the Terrorizer.
“Roar???? ”
After being hit, the Terrorizer immediately turned around, but he couldn’t see who had thrown it.
After all, Wang Tao was still under the effects of the Stealth Potion, which masked his scent.
So, Wang Tao threw a few more bricks, deliberately using the noise to guide it.
Sure enough, the Terrorizer followed the sound. When it reached the base of the building, it looked up at Wang Tao on the rooftop with some confusion, but the blinding sunlight made it instinctively shield its eyes with a hand.
It was at this moment that Wang Tao lit the fuse of the Molotov cocktails with gasoline before sparking his lighter.
Watching the Molotov cocktails ignite, Wang Tao hurled one down at the Terrorizer below.
Crash
The cocktail hit the Terrorizer square on the head without deviating.
Boom
Instantly, a fireball erupted, engulfing the Terrorizer; a string of numbers jumped out from its head.
[-53]
[-52]
[-55]
On the rooftop of the second floor, Wang Tao stepped back unconsciously from the blast of heat.
“Roar???? ”
The burning Terrorizer zombie let out an angry roar.
It had finally located Wang Tao on the rooftop. Although it didn’t understand why the rooftop zombie would attack him, and even use fire… it just went with it.
Amidst the flames, the Terrorizer raised its Big Hammer and slammed it into the building.
Bang!
A loud boom rolled out, along with a ring of Shockwave, and Wang Tao felt the building shake.
“Damn!”
Seeing the Terrorizer smash a large hole in the building, revealing the red bricks inside, Wang Tao was a bit stunned.
These old brick wall structures felt like they wouldn’t hold up against such smashing! And such a loud noise would attract a lot of zombies!
“No, I must finish this quickly!”
Wang Tao had initially planned to slowly kill it with the remaining Molotov cocktails, but now he was forced to change his mind.
After gathering his belongings, Wang Tao grabbed the Rope and rappelled down from the rooftop.
The Terrorizer in the sea of fire was unrecognizable, but it still had enough strength to hammer at the wall, and it seemed that it could still see Wang Tao as it brought the hammer down to the ground. The hammer missed, but the Shockwave hit Wang Tao.
[-82]
Wang Tao tasted something sweet in his throat. Enduring the pain in his body, he rolled to his feet and swiftly pulled out two pistols, firing at the Terrorizer.
Bang bang bang
After the sound of gunfire, various eerie roars echoed through the streets.
Wang Tao’s expression remained unchanged as he continued to pull the trigger.
When several [-300] popped up above the Terrorizer’s head, it fell down instantly.
Braving the fire, Wang Tao hurried over to pry out a red transparent Crystal Core from the Terrorizer’s skull, quickly collecting the loot, and then made a run for it.
Rumble
No sooner had Wang Tao left than a group of zombies arrived.
The zombies saw Wang Tao from afar but didn’t chase deeply. In their eyes, Wang Tao was one of their own.
“Phew???? ”
Wang Tao, while running, patted the sparks off his body.
Once he made it to his car and saw no zombies following, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
He quickly started the car and glanced at the loot in the Space Backpack.
