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

“Do you know me?”

Officer Han looked at Wang Tao, who was wrapped up tightly all over, with a mixture of caution and surprise.

“I’ve seen you before.”

Wang Tao didn’t elaborate.

“What do you… want to talk about?”

Officer Han was somewhat uncertain of Wang Tao’s intentions.

“Is this base reliable?”

Wang Tao gazed at the base before him.

Officer Han knew what Wang Tao meant by ‘reliable’. She had encountered a group of survivors with ill intentions before, and she certainly wasn’t going to easily trust other survivors now, even Wang Tao who had just saved her life, she remained somewhat wary.

But in her opinion, the Suize Survivor Base really was reliable.

“Of course, it’s reliable. My former boss is inside, and besides, this is a base established by our Security Army…”

Officer Han shared some information she knew.

“Okay, then I can rest assured.”

Wang Tao nodded, then looked at Officer Han again and said,

“I’m somewhat curious about the process of Officer Han coming to the Commercial Street, and what happened to Officer Han when she was trapped in the dollar store. Would Officer Han be able to satisfy my curiosity?” “…No problem!”

Officer Han nodded decisively, well aware of her current situation-although she had escaped the threat of the zombies, and had been saved by this man, her life was, in effect, in this man’s hands.

Officer Han didn’t yet know what Wang Tao was thinking; as long as Wang Tao did nothing excessive to her, she would try her best to be accommodating, to avoid provoking him.

“I came to Rui Cai Commercial Street about last week-I can’t remember the exact day…”

Officer Han’s story was similar to what Ou Yingying had described earlier, but there were some differences in the details—

They had arrived at Rui Cai Commercial Street without encountering any danger, and with the Suzaku University Survivor Base just in sight, the three of them were extremely excited.

Officer Han suggested taking a detour around the Commercial Street even though there seemed to be no zombies inside it, she was still a bit worried.

But her husband, Sun Weilong, wanted to go straight through.

The Commercial Street wasn’t just one street; it referred to the entire area. Detouring would mean a significantly longer route. In the post-apocalyptic world, every additional minute outside was a minute of danger. Going through would save a lot of time.

They also observed that there were no zombies in the Commercial Street, which seemed visibly safe, whereas taking the detour meant facing invisible risks.

Ou Yingying was indecisive, finding reason in Officer Han’s words, yet agreeing with Wei Guang’s argument as well. So when both turned to her for a decision she chose to support Wei Guang’s idea-to pass through the Commercial Street. Officer Han was actually a very decisive person, but, in all honesty, even she wasn’t sure if her judgement was right.

So this time, she conformed to the majority.

As they entered the Commercial Street, everything went smoothly. The three of them moved quietly, not drawing any attention from the zombies.

However, as they passed in front of a milk tea shop, Ou Yingying mentioned she was thirsty and wanted some water. They hadn’t had any for a whole day.

Wei Guang was thirsty too, and upon hearing this, he looked at the milk tea shop nearby.

The shop wasn’t big, the door was open, and one could easily see there were no zombies inside.

Then, Wei Guang volunteered to take Ou Yingying to the shop to look for water, figuring that a milk tea shop was likely to have clean water.

Officer Han saw a zombie at the corner ahead, blocking their way, and decided to go ahead and clear it out herself.

After some effort to deal with the zombie, a noise suddenly came from the milk tea shop.

Before she could understand what was happening, she saw a female zombie, different from the others, charging directly into the shop.

Officer Han hurried over, only to find Wei Guang and Ou Yingying hiding under a table. Just as the zombie was about to reach them, Officer Han pulled out her gun and pulled the trigger decisively.

With a “bang”, the bullet hit the zombie, successfully diverting its attention.

But it also attracted countless other zombies in the vicinity.

Han Rui quickly instructed the two of them to puli down the roll-up door to hide, and then she rushed into a nearby shop.

This special zombie naturally followed her, but she was a good shot. As the zombie charged in after her, she rapidly emptied her magazine.

For now, even the strongest zombie was still made of flesh and blood and definitely couldn’t withstand bullets. As long as you have good aim and hit the zombie’s weak spots, you could easily kill it-even if it was a special zombie. Therefore, this special zombie was directly killed by Han Rui.

But by then, a large horde of zombies had already appeared outside. She couldn’t meet up with Sun Weiguang, so she had no choice but to lock the doors and windows and hide there.

Han Rui initially thought that the zombies outside would soon leave, but unexpectedly, they seemed to stay on the street without wandering off.

Fortunately, there was some food in the shop, so she wouldn’t starve to death.

What she didn’t expect was that a burly special zombie had made its way into the house next door at some point.

With no bullets left, she couldn’t possibly fight a special zombie with her bare hands. Her only option was to stay hidden and wait until today.

When she heard the gunfire outside today, she was thrilled, thinking she might be rescued.

But with a terrifying special zombie nearby, she didn’t dare make a sound. She had hoped the special zombie would be lured away.

Unexpectedly, it seemed that the special zombie was injured or something because it didn’t leave. Instead, it hid inside the house.

This left Han Rui in a bit of a predicament. Even as the gunfire gradually faded into the distance, she never found a suitable opportunity-she didn’t dare to open the door or call out, as she might get bitten by the zombie before anyone came to her rescue.

However, there was some good news. The group outside had drawn away the large wave of zombies. If she could avoid the special zombie next door, she would be able to come out.

But she didn’t manage to avoid it and was discovered by the zombie.

Then came the situation Wang Tao saw. She had no time to dodge and was directly rammed by the “Attacker” zombie, even smashing through the roll-up door and landing on Wang Tao’s car.

“…That’s what happened.”

After explaining her previous experiences in one breath, Han Rui licked her dry lips.

Han Rui’s story provided a few more details than Ou Yingying’s did, and there was one discrepancy—

Ou Yingying claimed that it was Sun Weiguang who took the initiative to get them milk tea, but according to Han Rui, it was Ou Yingying who wanted water, and that’s why Sun Weiguang went to look for water in the milk tea shop.

Based on his understanding of their character and his own speculations, Wang Tao felt that Han Rui’s story was likely more credible. Ou Yingying clearly intended to shift the blame away from herself.

Of course, none of that mattered now, as the events had already occurred.

And… Han Rui hadn’t told the whole truth either!

Wang Tao looked at Han Rui and chuckled softly:

“Officer Han, it seems you’ve left out some details!”

The things you got from killing the special zombie and your Ability, you didn’t mention them!”

Han Rui’s mouth opened slightly, and she fell silent.

When she saw Wang Tao skillfully pry the Crystal Core from a zombie’s head, she knew Wang Tao must be aware of certain things, but she hadn’t expected him to be so knowledgeable, even guessing that she had an Ability!

She didn’t know how she had exposed herself.

She wasn’t very keen on telling others about her Ability. But, considering Wang Tao was her lifesaver, she felt conflicted.

Wang Tao just silently watched Han Rui without speaking.

The reason he knew about Han Rui’s Ability was simple-her Attributes were different from ordinary people’s—

HP [85/231]

Mana [30/100]

[Hidden attribute: Arrest]

[Internal Impurity: o%]
