BXBX NOVEL Chapter 139 - 98: Picking Air Drops, Fishing 3
Among the five people, two were Ability Users. Unless it was a very lucky small group, it probably indicated a certain number of people from a certain force.
Wang Tao had reason to suspect that these were Shao Yong’s people…
“So what do we do…”
Knowing that someone was intentionally hiding inside and seeing traces of deliberate preparation at the scene, Han Rui no longer wanted to go over. Who knew if there were dangers lurking inside?
“Just go.”
Wang Tao’s main mission today was to retrieve the airdrop; everything else was secondary. Moreover, if he already suspected something was off with the other party, going over now would be stupid.
“Mm!”
Han Rut quickly nodded and then drove away from the area. Wang Tao reported the situation here over the walkie-talkie.
Meanwhile, inside the red house.
“Damn it, they left!”
“Motherfucker, they’re not coming this way? So cautious?”
“All that preparation for the trap for nothing.”
“Shit! I said we should have set up our traps further forward. Wouldn’t it have been better to just place them right at the airdrop?”
“Stupid, do you think this is a game? They’re not blind; how could they not see such a big trap?”
“Ah, forget it, let’s go back…”
“These two people should be from Shuize Base, right? Our boss offered a hefty sum to catch them, what a pity…”
The electric off-road vehicle arrived in front of another airdrop crate, but this time their luck didn’t seem too good.
This airdrop had landed in the middle of a group of zombies on the street, which included three special zombies. Two of them were Self-exploders with 1500 HP each, and the third was a 2000 HP zombie that Wang Tao had never seen before-it wore a police uniform, was tall and muscular, and most eye- catching of all, it was holding a handgun!
“That police zombie, could it actually use a gun?”
Wang Tao was somewhat shocked. If zombies could use guns, then what was left for the survivors?
Han Rut also got a fright, a gun-wielding zombie? How were the survivors supposed to live!
“Retreat!”
Wang Tao decisively left the area.
If there was only one police zombie, he might have thought of a way to deal with it. But with two Self-exploders by its side, there was no need to ask for trouble.
Han Rui was a bit cowed as well, mainly because the gun-toting police zombie was too intimidating!
Wang Tao opened the walkie-talkie and informed everyone that this airdrop was extremely dangerous and that no one should come here.
“On to the next location.”
“Alright!”
Han Rui drove the vehicle away.
Wang Tao looked back, his desire to hunt down that police zombie growing because he wanted to know what it might drop.
But unfortunately, now was not the right time… He silently took note of this place, intending to come back later.
However, thinking of those two Suicide Bombing Zombies, Wang Tao frowned again.
I need to find a way to deal with these Self-exploding zombies…”
He didn’t have a perfect method to solve the problem of Self-exploding zombies yet, and every time he encountered one, he chose to avoid it.
The true terror of the suicide bombing zombies wasn’t the explosion itself, but the fact that it would attract other zombies.
If he hadn’t been worried about making too much noise, he could have simply thrown something over to distract the self-exploder, who would likely detonate within three seconds upon discovering him.
Unless Wang Tao could deal with it within those three seconds -no, Wang Tao even suspected that once it began its self-detonation, even if it was killed at that moment, it would still explode!
According to what Lu Gang had said, his previous method of killing a suicide bombing zombie was to snipe its head from a distance, a one-shot kill! Then it wouldn’t detonate.
So, in other words, for Wang Tao to safely kill a suicide bombing zombie, it would be best to one-shot kill it before it even became aware of him!
But this was extremely difficult because Wang Tao didn’t have any abilities for ranged attacks… His only skill was the Flying Axe, which was for mid-to-close range combat, and he wasn’t sure how much damage the Flying Axe could do to a suicide bombing zombie…
The fourth supply drop landed in a residential area.
Seeing the name of the neighborhood, Wang Tao let out a slight exclamation.
Eh? Isn’t this exactly the neighborhood where Sun Weiguang’s friend with the bow and arrows used to live?”
He asked Han Rui to park the car not far from the neighborhood.
The entrance gate to the community was open, and there were quite a few zombies inside. The supply drop had fallen on the plaza between several tall buildings, but there were no special zombies this time.
However, Wang Tao wasn’t in a rush to head over. It was noon, and he hadn’t eaten since the busy morning.
“Let’s have something to eat before we go over.”
Wang Tao took some dry noodles and bottled water out of the car. It wasn’t convenient to do more outdoors, so he made do with a simple meal.
“Gurgle-”
Upon seeing the food, Han Rui instinctively swallowed her saliva.
Since she had arrived at Shuize Base, she hadn’t eaten any proper food like this; the ration tickets at the base could only be exchanged for porridge. Although they claimed the ingredients were different every day, and so were the flavors, its unpleasant taste remained consistently the same…
Of course, Han Rui wasn’t picky. Having a warm meal in the apocalypse was already good fortune, so she wasn’t in a position to be choosy. But still, she longed for some normal food…
Inside the resource department, you could exchange contribution points for some food, but it was rather expensive, and Han Rui was too thrifty to buy it.
Now that she saw Wang Tao take out this food, she could hardly control her saliva.
Wang Tao threw three packets of instant noodles and a bottle of water to Han Rui. Those with strong physiques typically had larger appetites.
“Just eat it dry, make do with it.”
You call this making do?
Han Rui opened her mouth to speak, but she didn’t have the time to complain.
She carefully opened a packet, fearing that she might spill some. Then, taking a gentle bite of the noodle brick, savoring its aroma, she almost teared up. Wang Tao was much less delicate, wolfing down three packets of instant noodles and still feeling a bit hungry. But no matter whether eaten dry or soaked, instant noodles always seemed to taste best with the first bite and got worse the more he ate.
So, Wang Tao simply chugged another bottle of nutritional liquid.
Han Rut didn’t indulge herself too much and only ate one packet while drinking some water. She planned to bring the remaining two packets back to eat later since they were given to her by Wang Tao, they should be hers now, right? Seeing this, Wang Tao didn’t say much. Once he was sure Han Rui had finished eating, they both got out of the car and walked towards the upscale residential area.
However, Wang Tao didn’t plan on going for the supply drop first; he wanted to check out the room with the bow and arrows. Sun Weiguang probably wouldn’t lie to him about something like this.
The two didn’t take the main entrance but climbed over another part of the compound wall instead.
Then they ignored the supply drop and the zombies in the courtyard and headed straight for Villa No. 3 in the villa area.
At this moment, No. 3 Villa, overgrown with weeds and with peeling wall paint. Behind the curtains of the master bedroom on the third floor, a somewhat stiff figure held a bow. A gust of wind revealed the pair of pallid pupils.
