BXBX NOVEL Chapter 114 - 90 Assault_2
In some poorly drained areas of the base, it looked just like a river at first glance.
Although the rain reduces the zombies’ perception, too much of a good thing isn’t always better—constant rain doesn’t seem to be a good thing…
Arriving at the comprehensive building, several commissioners had already gathered.
Han Rui happened to walk in with Wang Tao.
Today, she wasn’t wearing her police uniform but a body-hugging, deep blue dress that ended just above the knees, paired with skin-colored stockings and a pair of white sneakers.
Han Rui had also styled her hair into large waves, wore light makeup, and had her lips painted a bright red…
Wang Tao’s eyes shone bright.
The old Han Rui was valiant; the current Han Rui was enchantingly attractive.
Having grown used to seeing Han Rui in a police uniform, the sudden sight of her dressed up made her seem especially alluring.
Han Rui confidently displayed herself in front of Wang Tao, then asked expectantly,
“Commissioner Wang, what do you think of my outfit today?”
“Very pretty, very feminine!”
Wang Tao responded without hesitation.
Han Rui blushed and quickly said,
“…Ahem, what I meant to ask was, if I wear this to the old shopping mall, they shouldn’t suspect me, right? It wasn’t easy finding these clothes… If I wore my police uniform, they might just open fire…”
It turned out Han Rui was talking about official business. After looking her over again, Wang Tao nodded.
“It’ll work, you can pretend to be a survivor who just stepped out of their home and then either I rescue you, or I take you hostage. That would be plausible.” Actually, Wang Tao felt it wasn’t reasonable at all—after all, who would still dress up so meticulously at the end of the world?
However, the heavy rain outside continued, and by the time he brought Han Rui into the mall, Ding Yuqin would surely be drenched, making any meticulous dress meaningless.
So whatever the attire didn’t matter. Of course, he did find the current look very pleasing to the eye and quite liked it.
The two went upstairs, exchanged information with Wei Zhenguo and the rest to confirm there were no issues, and everyone immediately set into motion.
This time, besides Wang Tao, Xiang Hongbin, Lu Gang, and Feng Ming’an also joined; they were to provide support for Wang Tao from outside in case of unexpected situations.
Wei Zhenguo was still wheelchair-bound, naturally unable to join, and the others lacked combat strength, so they just waited at the base for news.
In total, there were three military-modified off-road vehicles carrying twelve fully armed individuals, including Wang Tao.
The rain outside grew heavier, but it didn’ t pose much of an issue for the military vehicles. After avoiding zombies along the way, they finally saw the old shopping mall two hours later.
Wang Tao and his people didn’t plan to approach the old shopping mall but instead arrived near the electric pole that hung the severed head of Song Jinghong. Seeing the head hanging high, Han Rui’s tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
The others also wore expressions of rage, but everyone remained rational, as below the electric pole were more than a dozen zombies attracted by the head and unwilling to leave.
“You stay in the car; I’ll take care of the zombies.”
To save time, Wang Tao spoke up directly.
“By yourself?”
Xiang Hongbin’s eyes widened.
“I alone am enough.”
Besides saving time, Wang Tao also wanted to test his current strength. After all, he had fused with three Zombie Cores and didn’t even know how strong he was now.
“Alright!”
This mission was led by Wang Tao, and everyone had to cooperate with him, so there was no objection.
They also took this opportunity to see just how powerful an Ability User could be.
Apart from Han Rui, none of the others had seen an Ability User’s power. Han Rui also looked at Wang Tao with some anticipation; she felt that the last time she saw Wang Tao in action, that wasn’t his full strength—Wang Tao must be even stronger!
Wang Tao, holding a firefighter axe, walked casually towards the group of zombies. The rest readied their guns in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
It wasn’t until he got about a meter close to one of the zombies that it belatedly became aware of Wang Tao.
“Grrrr…”
The zombie turned around and lunged at Wang Tao.
Without a word, Wang Tao lifted the firefighter axe, chopping at the zombie’s head. At the same time, he quietly used his Shockwave Ability.
Squelch!
[-500]
A swing of the axe killed the zombie easily, and from its head, the Shockwave rippled outward.
Bang!
[-500]
[-500]
1-500]
The dozen or so zombies were almost simultaneously headshot, falling slowly to the ground, leaving only Wang Tao standing.
“Huh? The power really increased a lot! The range of the Shockwave expanded too!”
Wang Tao was somewhat surprised; the improvement was even greater than he had imagined. With a thought, he collected all the drops from the zombies, then cut the rope on the electric pole.
Swish—
The severed head dropped instantly, and Wang Tao caught it with a bag he had prepared in advance. Then he headed back to the convoy.
Inside the vehicle, everyone was somewhat dumbfounded.
They hadn’t even had time to react; in their eyes, Wang Tao just exited the car, walked up, swung his axe at one zombie, and then all the zombies had their heads blown off… Some saw the shockwave, while others hadn’t seen anything clearly at all.
This is an Ability User?
Isn’t that a bit too strong?
If it were them trying to kill these zombies, even a full clip of bullets might not suffice, but Wang Tao had headshot them all with just one swing!
The few soldiers also then understood why Wang Tao had become a commissioner. With such strength, his position as a commissioner was well deserved!
