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

After she finished her shower and lay in bed, Sun Weiguang finally came back.

When Sun Weiguang also lay down in bed, Han Rui subconsciously tried to wrap her arms around him, but he pushed her away.

“I’m tired, let’s sleep.”

In the darkness, Han Rui’s face turned red. She didn’t want to do anything; she just wanted to hold something while she slept, yet Sun Weiguang looked at her with such disdain, as if she were about to do something improper.

Hmph!

Han Rui hmphed and turned over, her back facing Sun Weiguang.

Soon, Sun Weiguang’s gentle snoring sounds could be heard.

But Han Rui found herself wide awake.

These past few days, she had been worrying about Sun Weiguang. Now that she saw him back, she felt relieved. She wanted to let out some steam and relax, but clearly, Sun Weiguang had no such intention, and she, Han Rui, wasn’t the kind of woman to be clingy…

After letting her mind run wild for a while, Han Rui’s face burned with embarrassment as she slipped her hand inside her clothes…

In the morning, after Wang Tao had his breakfast, he brewed himself a cup of tea. The tea was a fine one gifted by Ren Jie, who said he found it in the school. It was probably from some school leader, and now it was theirs to enjoy.

At that moment, a guard suddenly reported from outside the door.

Someone was always on duty 24 hours a day at the residence of the commissioners. Non-commissioners and their family members needed to apply for entry. The guard informed Wang Tao that a man named Sun Weiguang was requesting to see him.

Wang Tao was immediately surprised. What did he want with him?

Speaking of this Sun Weiguang, Wang Tao had been meaning to give Han Rui a heads-up about him, but with the recent flurry of events, he had forgotten.

“I should find a way to remind her today…”

As he thought this to himself, Wang Tao said to the guard:

“Let him in.”

It wasn’t long before Sun Weiguang entered, looking very respectful.

“Good day, Commissioner Wang! I am Han Rui’s husband, Sun Weiguang…

Sun Weiguang hurriedly introduced himself. Although he had met Wang Tao before, important people are often forgetful. It wouldn’t hurt to introduce himself again.

“Oh, what brings you here?”

“It’s like this. You saved my wife, and I don’t have much with which to thank you…”

As he spoke, Sun Weiguang took out a stack of ration tickets and handed them over.

Wang Tao was somewhat stunned.

Sun Weiguang had come to give a gift, and what a gift he offered! He couldn’t have brought anything worse than ration tickets! The ration ticket system was created by the committee. Although it’s stated that these tickets are limited in number and even commissioners should use them sparingly, that’s just lip service. Anybody who truly believes that is a fool. As for ration tickets, Wang Tao had as many as he wanted right now! And commissioners didn’t even need ration tickets to eat…

“It was nothing, no need for thanks,” Wang Tao pushed the ration tickets back. If the other commissioners found out that Wang Tao had received ration tickets as a gift, they might laugh at him for an entire day.

Sun Weiguang was taken aback as well. Wasn’t it said that any gift would do? He had nothing on him at the moment, and surely Wang Tao would understand that. The gift was meant more as a gesture; he wanted to establish good relations with Wang Tao… but Wang Tao flatly refused the gift, and now things became awkward!

“But, but we haven’t thanked you yet…”

Sun Weiguang was persistent.

Wang Tao spoke up directly:

“Han Rui has already said she’d repay me; you don’t need to worry about that.”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

“Ah? She…”

Sun Weiguang was somewhat surprised. Had Han Rui already mentioned it?

Then why did she agree to let him come over, and why didn’t she have anything with her? How did she plan to repay him?

Sun Weiguang’s gaze flickered.

“All right, if there’s nothing else, you should head back first.”

Wang Tao took a sip of his tea.

Sun Weiguang left. He had wanted to see if he could talk Wang Tao into giving him a position, but the other man wouldn’t even accept a gift! However, Sun Weiguang hadn’t given up. He felt the potential of the base was significant and that if he didn’t secure a job now, it would be even harder once the base grew stronger!

He had to think of another way to break through with Wang Tao, especially since he didn’t know any of the other commissioners…

For Wang Tao, Sun Weiguang was just a minor episode; he didn’t pay much attention to it.

Looking out the window, it was raining again today-a great day to go out. But speaking of which, it had been raining on and off for so many days…

“I should go and bring Ding Yuqin over today.”

Since Wang Tao had promised not to abandon her, he would keep his word-he was always a man of his word, certainly not because he was lusting after Ding Yuqin’sbody.

But before going, Wang Tao planned to remind Han Rui.

Wang Tao went to the resources department to get a usable cell phone and sent the video he had taken at the water plant of “Sun Weiguang and Ou Yingying conspiring against other survivors” via Bluetooth.

Then he made another trip to where Han Rui worked. The place was usually staffed by only three people, and often empty; it was deserted now. Wang Tao slid the cell phone into a drawer at Han Rui’s workstation.

There was no lock on the phone, and to ensure Han Rui would see the video immediately, Wang Tao even set it as a live wallpaper, so it would play as soon as the phone was turned on.

Having arranged everything, Wang Tao left, concealing his abilities and achievements.

The rain outside wasn’t heavy and didn’t cause too much water accumulation on the road, but its sound was loud, pitter-pattering, just right for going out. After driving cautiously for a while, Wang Tao unexpectedly came across special zombies—two of them.

“Terrorizer and Self-exploder… Together, they make a tricky pair…”

This time the Terrorizer wasn’t wielding a Reinforced Concrete Hammer but a thick streetlamp. Apart from the weapon, it looked similar to the other Terrorizers, likely the same type of zombie.

This Terrorizer had 2000 HP, and though he had only 1040 HP left, he wasn’t scared.

However, next to the Terrorizer was a Self-exploder with its chest organs exposed, and it had 1000 HP.

Self-exploders attracted other zombies too easily. Unless they separated, Wang Tao had no way of dealing with the Terrorizer alone.

Wang Tao waited in the rain for a while, but no good opportunity arose. In the end, he decided to give up for now, but he made a mental note of the place.

“Let’s head back first, then think about what to do…”

Wang Tao took a slight detour and then headed towards Happy Community. On the way, Wang Tao turned on his walkie-talkie to get in touch with Ding Yuqin.

Ding Yuqin’s walkie-talkie was always on. When she heard Wang Tao was coming back for her, she was so overwhelmed with joy that she wept and said she would wait obediently at home for him.

After wasting some time, Wang Tao finally saw Happy Community, but he frowned.

“What kind of day is it today, running into special zombies again…” Outside Happy Community was a zombie, not tall but very strong, moving slowly with bare torso and dark skin-someone might think it was Brother Ni in another scenario.

And its HP was the highest Wang Tao had ever seen: [3000/3000]!
