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

“What a pity, Little Ting and the others can’t see this…”

Someone murmured to themselves.

Upon hearing these words, everyone suddenly fell silent.

Gao Hua shook his head.

He could only save the living; there was nothing he could do for the dead.

Gao Hua took out some food, shared it with these few people, and then began to wait in silence.

At a certain moment, Gao Hua felt there was some movement on the street—several cars appeared in his field of vision.

The other survivors also hurried to lie down and watch from the windows.

Gao Hua immediately recognized Wang Tao’s car and quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie.

“This is Gao Hua, have you arrived?”

“We’ve arrived, get ready to come out. There’s no danger around.”

Wang Tao’s voice came through the walkie-talkie.

Hearing that voice, the rescued people could no longer contain themselves and all burst into tears of joy. Gao Hua was also somewhat excited; he didn’t expect Wang Tao to come personally!

Soon, all four cars stopped downstairs.

Gao Hua and the others were already waiting at the door. As soon as the cars opened their doors, they hurried into the vehicles. The convoy immediately turned around and headed back the way they had come.

In the electric off-road vehicle, Wei Zhenguo drove while Han Rui sat in the passenger seat. Wang Tao was in the back seat, with Gao Hua, who had just boarded, beside him.

Wang Tao was seated in the back, naturally ready to get out and fight at any moment. Fortunately, the journey was smooth; they didn’t encounter a large number of zombies and didn’t run into any people from Shao Yong’s Base. “Commissioner Wang, Commissioner Wei! I’m sorry, I only brought back 4 people…”

Gao Hua hung his head, looking as if he was admitting a mistake.

Wang Tao patted his shoulder.

“You’ve already done very well! Are the rest already gone?”

“Yes… they died horribly!”

Gao Hua took a deep breath, recalling the horrific ways those people had died; he, a sociopath, even thought it was twisted…

“What exactly happened? How did you rescue them? Tell us everything!”

Wei Zhenguo took a deep breath, his face looking quite unpleasant.

Though he had anticipated deaths, when faced with the reality, he was still struggling to accept it.

Fourteen survivors, and now only four returned, ten dead! He had specifically prepared four cars for today…

“Alright…”

Gao Hua nodded and then began to recount the events.

“The Hunter Team was previously trapped in a building but was accidentally discovered by people from Shao Yong’s Base. The people from Shao Yong’s Base were too many and armed. They couldn’t escape and were captured.”

“At that time, the Hunter Team didn’t know who the others were, so when asked to identify themselves, they naturally disclosed they were from Shuize Base. But they didn’t expect that this would be the beginning of a nightmare…” “The people from Shao Yong’s Base bound them all and took them back to their base. Then, the inhuman torture began… I won’t even detail the various forms of torture, but in Shao Yong’s Base, a cage was specially constructed to force humans to fight against zombies!”

“The members of the Hunter Team were put into that cage! Just in those fights alone, four people died, and two died from the torture beforehand… As for the remaining four, all women, they suffered even worse fates…”

At Shuize Base, female hunters are relatively rare, but they do exist. Each female hunter is cherished as a treasure in their respective teams—this has nothing to do with their looks; it’s about respecting such courageous women.

“They were violated by many means, tortured by countless people, and even locked up with drugged dogs… In just these few days, they were no longer recognizable as human, but they weren’t actually dead because they couldn’t even manage that…”

“When I went to rescue them, their limbs had been chopped off, and they were turned into dolls… They begged me to kill them—though they had no tongues and couldn’t speak, I could see the plea for death in their eyes, so… I killed them.”

Gao Hua ruffled his hair. He was also a hardened killer, who didn’t even blink when he killed the old lady and her grandson. But now, recalling the tragic state of those women, he felt a profound heaviness in his heart.

“The reason why there are four members of the Hunter Team still alive is that they were next in line to be put in the cage with the zombies, and their turn hadn’t come yet…”

“What I’ve told you is the situation on the third sub-level of that underground mall. Only core members can access the third sub-level; ordinary people can’t get in…”

Bang!

Wei Zhenguo punched the car door with a face full of murderous intent.

“They’re looking for death, to torture my people like that!”

Just hearing Gao Hua’s description, he could feel the cruelty and despair, let alone the actual sufferers…

Han Rui’s face turned pale. She had been a policewoman for many years and seen many heinous crimes, but this was the closest and most relatable to her. She didn’t dare to imagine what it would be like if she were captured…

Wang Tao’s face was expressionless, but his pupils were filled with raging fury. Shao Yong’s Base and everyone inside who had participated were condemned to death in his mind.

“No wonder they didn’t contact us again after capturing the Hunter Team. They never had any intention to negotiate; they just wanted to torture our base members to death!”

Wei Zhenguo closed his eyes.

But at that moment, Gao Hua suddenly said:

“No, maybe that’s not it. Shao Yong and his people actually wanted a ransom….”
