BXBX NOVEL Chapter 259 - 138: The Zombie with 15,000 HP_2
just as Wang Tao had recalled the gorilla zombie, he suddenly realized a detail -the gorilla zombie had knocked a big hole into the inpatient building, but the floor above was very smooth, with no traces of the gorilla zombie having lingered.
It couldn’t possibly have smashed a big hole and then just sat on the first floor for a while before leaving, could it?
It must have taken some action!
Since it didn’t go upstairs, then it was very likely to have gone downstairs!
When the two of them had entered the inpatient department, they had deliberately avoided the big hole made by the gorilla zombie, fearing danger.
After entering, since the area near the hole was in ruins, they hadn’t checked it
out.
Now, Wang Tao thought that the gorilla zombie might have gone to the basement! Most hospitals have basements.
Wang Tao and Han Rui quickly ran to the first floor and came to the big hole made by the gorilla zombie.
After climbing over the rubble at the entrance, they found it was a hole leading downward!
“As I suspected, a basement!”
After confirming his guess, Wang Tao didn’t enter from here. Instead, he and
Han Rui went to the stairwell of the inpatient department.
The stairwell they had used to go upstairs earlier didn’t have a route to the basement, but there must be another stairwell that did.
After searching for a while, the two finally found a stairwell that led to the basement.
This hospital had three basement levels.
Level negative two and level negative three were locked with a password lock, which Wang Tao couldn’t open unless he broke it by force. But level negative one wasn’t locked, and the door was open.
Level negative one resembled a large warehouse; although it was very dark inside, some yellow emergency sensor lights were flashing, which made it possible to see clearly.
After his eyes adjusted to the darkness for a moment, Wang Tao and Han Rui walked in together.
“Hiss—so cold!”
The moment she entered level negative one, Han Rui shuddered.
The temperature inside was so low!
Wang Tao furrowed his brows.
Basements are usually cool, but it was June, and the gear he was wearing was thick, yet he could still feel the cold…
Something wasn’t right, very wrong!
When things are abnormal, there’s sure to be demons!
Wang Tao immediately cautioned:
“Keep your Perception Ability activated the whole time and be careful!
“Okay!”
Wang Tao let Han Rui walk in front, trailing her by a step1 s distance so that he could respond promptly if anything happened.
Suddenly, Han Rui stopped.
Her face showed a shocked expression as she pointed ahead.
“Zombies! So many zombies!”
“Don’t panic. Let’s move slowly…”
Wang Tao gently placed his hand on Han Rui’s shoulder. They slowly moved forward.
“Right there!”
Han Rui pointed to a place, and Wang Tao looked in the direction she was pointing.
He saw a group of zombies dressed in white lab coats and patient gowns standing there with their backs to Wang Tao, their bodies swaying slightly but not moving. It was as if… they were standing asleep?
Wang Tao was somewhat unsure. Ordinary zombies did have this kind of sleep-like state, lying on the ground as if dead, and if someone approached, they would slowly rise.
But that was typical of ordinary zombies, and Wang Tao had never seen this behavior in elite zombies before.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Tao took out his hand crossbow and, under the dim light, shot a crossbow arrow at the last zombie in the row.
Whizz—
[-8731
[2127/3000]
The zombie stumbled instantly.
“Hehe…”
It turned its head to look as if it hadn’t found anything, then turned back around and continued to stand there.
“Huh?”
Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.
Under normal circumstances, if a zombie were attacked, even if it didn’t discover the attacker, it would become angry or seek out the attacker, not just stand there foolishly to be attacked.
Yet this elite zombie only turned its head to look and then ignored it…
Wang Tao, holding the hand crossbow, shot two more arrows at it.
[-921]
[-8141
[392/3000]
Even with three crossbow arrows stuck in its head, barely hanging on to life, the zombie still didn’t come over. It just turned its head back angrily to roar a couple of times, then continued to dumbly look ahead.
“It’s not coming over?”
Since that was the case, Wang Tao showed no mercy, and with one final arrow, he cleared its HP bar.
[-392]
[0/3000]
Thump-
The zombie with four crossbow arrows in its head fell to the ground.
Without considering accuracy, the damage of the hand crossbow was unrelated to Wang Tao’s own strength and depended solely on the power of the crossbow and arrows. Thus, after Wang Tao had grown stronger, the damage from the hand crossbow seemed somewhat unimpressive. It took four arrows to kill an elite zombie with low defense; if he had used his axe, it undoubtedly would have taken fewer than four strikes…
After this zombie fell, the other zombies around acted as if they hadn’t noticed anything and continued to stand there dumbly.
“They’re not moving? If that’s the case… I won’t hold back on these Crystal Coresthen!”
Before acting, Wang Tao had Ding Yuqin carefully inspect the area to make sure there were only these elite zombies around and nothing else. Once confirmed, Wang Tao went over with his axe in hand.
He walked right behind the group of zombies, three to four meters away, and it was only then that the zombies seemed to sense something and began to turn around one after another.
As they turned, Wang Tao unleashed a Shockwave.
Spurt!
[-3000]
[-2800]
[-3245]
[-3244]
[-1388]
[…]
The zombies hit by the Shockwave were instantly shattered, their HP bars wiped out. The remaining ones were left critically wounded.
“Awesome!”
A Level Two Shockwave was different, capable of almost instantly killing elite zombies with less than 3,000 HP.
The ones that weren’t instantly killed either had exceptionally high defense power or a lot of HP.
