BXBX NOVEL Chapter 137 - 98: Picking Air Drops, Fishing_l
Buzz-
An electric off-road vehicle, armed to the teeth, weaved through the abandoned streets. A sprawled zombie on the ground heard the noise, instantly lifted its head, slowly got up, and then clawed its way towards the vehicle.
The speed of the off-road vehicle did not decrease. Suddenly, the passenger window rolled down, and a short spear extended out.
Thud!
The spear pierced the zombie’s eye socket with precision, exiting the back of its skull.
Bang!
The zombie was flung into the air, landing in a pile of garbage at the corner.
The vehicle continued on.
“Phew—”
Inside, Han Rui retracted the short spear, massaging her slightly sore arm.
Leveraging the vehicle’s formidable power, she enjoyed the thrill of an instant kill, but the power was too overwhelming for her physical condition.
Wang Tao turned to glance at her, and Han Rui quickly said,
“Pm fine!”
She did not want to leave an impression on Wang Tao that she was useless.
Wang Tao didn’t say much; in fact, he was checking Han Rui’s HP. Her HP bar had been 240, but now after killing the zombie, it had increased to 250—the ordinary zombie had added ten points to her HP.
Before the heavy rain, an ordinary zombie typically added five points of HP, and if they encountered ones who had devoured many humans or were in special circumstances, they would give more, like 10,15, and so on.
The one Han Rui had just killed was clearly as ordinary as they come, yet it gave her ten points of HP… After ordinary zombies had strengthened, the HP they contributed after being killed increased too!
This could be considered good news, after all, those ordinary zombies had slowed down, and an average survivor, if prepared, should still be able to handle them. Now, killing an ordinary zombie was the equivalent to killing two ordinary zombies before…
“Which way at this intersection?”
Wang Tao asked, looking at the fork in the road ahead.
Han Rui quickly pointed to the road on the far left.
“Go this way!”
Wang Tao turned the steering wheel sharply, making the turn.
Since they were teaming up, it was natural to divide the work and cooperate. Wang Tao couldn’t afford to carry a dead weight.
For the time being, Han Rui’s ability wasn’t needed, so she helped keep an eye on the airdrop location and navigated for Wang Tao. This saved him a lot of trouble.
In no time, Wang Tao spotted the first airdrop with a parachute. It had landed on the rooftop of a two-story building on the street.
Below, a group of zombies milled about—probably attracted by the noise of the airdrop—about fifteen to twenty in number.
“The airdrop on this rooftop is a bit hard to retrieve…”
Han Rui frowned. In his view, to get the airdrop, you’d have to deal with all the zombies below first, then go up.
Wang Tao parked the car not too far from the two-story building and, after a brief moment of contemplation, got out of the vehicle.
“I’ll get the airdrop, you drive the car, and be ready to pick me up.”
“Okay!”
Han Rui quickly crawled from the passenger seat to the driver’s seat, not daring to ask too many questions.
Wang Tao cautiously approached the building, observing the group of zombies, then the building, silently calculating for a while before suddenly charging towards them.
“Hehe…”
The dull zombies, spotting a living person, immediately groaned at Wang Tao and moved toward him.
But Wang Tao didn’t dodge or retreat. He swung his firefighter axe with his right hand at one zombie, shattering its skull, while with his left hand he pushed another zombie, sending it crashing to the ground and knocking down several others in the process.
A small vacuum appeared in front of Wang Tao, but three meters ahead was another standing zombie.
At that moment, Wang Tao sheathed his firefighter axe, suddenly jumped, and stepped on the zombie’s head, reaching out with both hands to grasp the second – floor window ledge.
Wang Tao’s arm muscles bulged, and his hands powered up, climbing up the exterior wall to the rooftop like a gecko.
Han Rui, watching all this from a distance, was astounded. She had imagined several ways to get in but never expected Wang Tao to be so straightforward and brutal, simply climbing up the exterior wall!
“His upper body strength is too strong…”
But his lower body strength seems even stronger…
Han Rui quickly shook her head. How could she be thinking of such nonsense at such a crucial moment!
Once Wang Tao reached the rooftop, he hurried to the airdrop.
This airdrop did not seem different from the previous one he had found—it looked and was the same size.
However, when Wang Tao inputted a password hinted by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to open it, he found completely different contents inside.
This airdrop contained no guns or bullets, no food or medkits, only an inhibitor and an updated Zombie Guide!
Wang Tao took the guide and inhibitor, stuffing them into the backpack he’ d prepared earlier. Then he glanced at the group of zombies below and opened his walkie-talkie.
“Bring the car here, now!”
“Yes!”
Although Han Rui did not know what plan Wang Tao had, she obeyed his orders unconditionally, which was agreed upon before going out. Han Rui knew she was less experienced and capable than Wang Tao, so she harbored no resistance.
Buzz-
As Wang Tao watched Han Rui drive the car towards the building, he immediately pulled out the firefighter axe from his waist and jumped straight down from the rooftop!
Mid-jump, he raised the firefighter axe, and in his heart, he silently activated his Shockwave Ability.
Boom!
The moment Wang Tao landed among the zombies, a white shockwave radiated outward from him, spreading in all directions!
