BXBX NOVEL Chapter 140 - 99 Archer Zombie l
“Aren’t we going for the airdrop first?”
Han Rui asked curiously in a low voice beside Wang Tao.
Although there were many zombies near the airdrop, it shouldn’t be difficult for Wang Tao to kill these zombies, right?
“No rush, I’m going to get something first.”
Wang Tao looked at the villa No. 3 in front of him and a smile appeared on his face.
If he really could get the bow and arrows, he could also practice with the zombies in the residential area. If not, at worst, it would only be a waste of some time.
“The villa’s gate is open…”
There were no zombies at the gate of the villa, but since the door was open, it was probably as Sun Weiguang had described.
Just as Wang Tao was about to move forward, Han Rui suddenly said:
“There is a zombie, on the upper floor!”
Without waiting for Wang Tao’s reminder, she had already activated her Perception Ability and just detected a zombie.
Wang Tao halted his steps and looked up.
He could only see a half-open window on the second floor, but the curtains inside obscured his view of the details.
“It’s likely the owner of the house???? huh?”
Before Wang Tao could speak, he saw something stick-like parting the curtains. This immediately set off alarm bells in his head.
Wang Tao gave Han Rui a fierce shove, sending her tumbling to the ground in a sprawl, while he himself leapt to the other side.
Whiz
An arrow suddenly appeared at the spot where the two had just been standing.
“Find cover!”
Wang Tao yelled in a low voice, hiding behind the courtyard wall near the gate.
Han Rui, with her excellent combat skills, didn’t need Wang Tao to tell her what to do and had already taken cover behind the wall on the other side of the gate. Seeing the arrow on the ground, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Her Perception hadn’t been wrong! There was only one zombie upstairs! Could that arrow have been shot by a zombie?
If zombies could conduct ranged attacks now, how were human survivors supposed to live? And if this zombie could shoot arrows, did that mean the police zombie they had seen before could really shoot… Han Rui felt a coldness settling in her heart.
Wang Tao shouted to Han Rui:
“Are there any other zombies inside?”
Han Rui closed her eyes and concentrated, then quickly replied:
“No, I can only sense this one zombie!”
The range of her Ability just covered the entire villa, and she really didn’t detect any other disturbances.
“Good!”
Wang Tao nodded, then picked up a firefighter axe and threw it at the gate.
Whiz
Another arrow flew in, and although it didn’t hit the firefighter axe, it landed about ten centimeters from the axe.
If a person had been shooting the arrow, the accuracy would have been deemed inadequate, but if it was a zombie, this was rather frightening. And regardless of the precision, Wang Tao had no intention of taking the hit; he wasn’t about to gamble with his life.
After Wang Tao took out another firefighter axe, he said to Han Rui:
“I’ll go around the back. You distract it from here!”
“Okay!”
Han Rui quickly took off her hat, then hid behind the wall, extending only the hat out. Soon, a third arrow flew over.
The arrow struck next to the hat, embedding itself deeply at an angle into the ground.
Han Rui swallowed hard and continued to use the hat as a lure.
Wang Tao, meanwhile, quietly made his way around to the other side and vaulted over the courtyard wall. After estimating the position of the room where the zombie was, he climbed in through a window.
None of the doors and windows in the villa were locked; it seemed that the owner had been infected suddenly and had no chance to resist.
Having found the staircase, Wang Tao slowly went upstairs to the master bedroom. The door was closed but not locked.
He didn’t rush in but instead quietly contacted Han Rui with the walkie-talkie.
“Tell me when it shoots an arrow!”
After a moment, Han Rui’s voice came through the walkie-talkie.
“It shot!”
Upon hearing this, Wang Tao’s body began to harden as he activated his “Toughness” Ability, and then he suddenly pushed open the bedroom door.
At the window of the bedroom was a zombie carrying a quiver and holding a recurve bow, stiffly pulling the string. This zombie hadn’t been out in the rain and was not as decomposed as the ones outside, making it look relatively “clean-cut” in comparison.
It had [15OO/15OO]HP.
The noise of Wang Tao entering immediately caught the zombie’s attention, and it directed the bow and arrows toward him.
But it had just grasped the arrow in its hand, and there were a few seconds before it could actually shoot.
Wang Tao decisively threw the firefighter axe he was holding.
Swoosh—Bang!
[-25]
The firefighter axe hit the zombie squarely in the chest with great force, causing it to wobble and the arrow in its hand to fall to the ground. It reached into the quiver on its back to grab another arrow, but Wang Tao didn’t give it the chance.
Wang Tao took out another firefighter axe from behind his back—after all, he always carried four when he was out. He had used two just now, leaving him with two more.
This time, Wang Tao didn’t throw it but charged forward and brutally hacked the axe down on the zombie’s head.
Splurch!
[-841]
The blow made the zombie’s body tilt, and it looked unsteady. Wang Tao grabbed its shoulder with his left hand and delivered another axe blow.
Splurch!
[-634]
[0/1500]
The zombie’s head was cleaved open.
A shimmering Red Crystal Core popped out.
Wang Tao casually caught it, and then picked up the loot dropped by the zombie.
The Defense of this Archer Zombie was weaker than Wang Tao had expected, or perhaps his Attack power was just too strong.
However, this zombie’s added HP limit was decent, giving Wang Tao an extra 50 HP, raising his total to “1250”..
