BXBX NOVEL Chapter 260 - 138: The Zombie with 15,000 HP 3
Gazing at the severed limbs and the gleaming crystal cores, Wang Tao grinned. Using a Level Two ability against Level 1 zombies was simply overkill!
Wang Tao quickly called over Han Rui to collect the crystal cores.
The great thing about the shockwave ability was that most zombies killed by it had their heads or even entire bodies exploded. So the crystal cores fell out directly. There was no need to forcibly suppress the nausea to extract the crystal cores anymore.
Soon, all the crystal cores on the ground were collected by the two of them, and Wang Tao naturally put all the zombies’ dropped loot into his space backpack. During the looting process, Wang Tao discovered that what these zombies had been staring at was actually a stairway entrance!
Was it leading to the second sub-level?
Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.
Why were these zombies stupidly staring at the second sub-level? Could there be something down there?
Peering into the pitch-dark opening and feeling the cooler temperature at the entrance of the stairway, Wang Tao hesitated whether to go down or not.
Just from the look of this stairway entrance, there seemed to be no lights below the second sub-level, and he didn’t have any night vision equipment. If he rashly went down, what if there was danger…
“Search the first level first!”
Wang Tao thought it best to finish scouring the first level before anything else. The basement was huge, and the area where Wang Tao was located was just one section of it. There were several stairways leading to the second sub-level.
Soon, Han Rui spotted another group of zombies.
This group of zombies, like the one before, stood aimlessly at a stairway entrance, as if they were hypnotized.
Wang Tao didn’t bother probing this time and went straight up with his axe in hand.
However, this time it was slightly more troublesome as there were many zombies with high HP and strong defense, so Wang Tao used four shockwaves.
Without needing to call her over, Han Rui immediately ran to collect the crystal cores the moment the zombies were shattered.
After the two gathered all the spoils of war, they were both somewhat excited. Killing zombies like this was just too thrilling!
Just from these two fights, the crystal cores obtained were probably worth half a month’s effort for Wei Zhenguo and his group!
“Keep it going!”
Han Rui maximised her Perception Ability and continued searching for zombies.
Very quickly, she found a third group of zombies.
Same as before, they were lingering at a stairway entrance, a large group, all standing motionlessly.
Wang Tao immediately grabbed his axe and went behind them, then with a single shockwave, all the zombies were instantly shattered.
This time there were no zombies with high HP and strong defense, so it was relatively clean and tidy.
However, just as Wang Tao was gathering up the fallen loot, Han Rui suddenly turned pale.
“Not good! Abig one’s coming! It’s right below us!”
Wang Tao instinctively glanced at the stairway.
Then—
Without caring for the crystal cores, he wrapped his arms around Han Rui’s waist and performed a rush, sprinting over twenty meters!
Then, with Han Rui in tow, he zigzagged left and right until they reached an open stretch of road where Wang Tao said to Han Rui anxiously, “Sprint!”
Han Rui immediately clung tightly to Wang Tao’s waist and activated her Rush Ability.
Whoosh—
The two of them sprinted another twenty meters.
Then, after turning a corner, they saw the brightly lit hole ahead that had been punched through by the gorilla zombie. However, the first sub-level was quite high, probably about four meters.
“You go up first!”
Wang Tao crossed his hands with palms facing up.
Han Rui immediately stepped onto Wang Tao’s palm, and with a heave of his hands, Wang Tao sent her up.
After landing on the ground, Han Rui rolled to dissipate the force and then lay down, stretching out her hand to Wang Tao.
Wang Tao took a short run-up, then directly sprinted a short distance up the wall, simultaneously reaching out to grab Han Rui’s hand.
“Heave? ”
Han Rui grasped Wang Tao’s right hand with both of hers, and then forcefully pulled.
Whoosh
Wang Tao was yanked out of the pit by her.
Without even giving her a chance to catch her breath, Wang Tao immediately took her hand and ran. At the same time, he was calling out on the walkie- talkie for Wei Zhenguo and the others to retreat quickly!
The two of them ran breathlessly to the apartment building, arriving just as
Wei Zhenguo and his team were also getting back.
“What’s the situation? I was about to finish off the zombies in front of me when I heard you say to retreat quick, so I ran without even bothering to kill them… If I’d known, I wouldn’t have dawdled!”
Xiang Hongbin was somewhat annoyed; he had just wanted to try out his new move, which cost him some time.
The other few also looked at Wang Tao, who was gasping for air, unsure of what had happened.
“Huff?? ”
Wang Tao didn’t bother to speak, hurriedly running to the rooftop. Only after seeing there was no commotion at the hospital did he finally relax.
There’s a terrifying zombie in the basement of the hospital!”
Wang Tao said to the people behind him.
A Level Two Zombie? How terrifying is it?”
Wei Zhenguo asked cautiously.
I m not certain of its exact strength, but based on my experience, it might be even stronger than a gorilla zombie!”
Just as Han Rui had reminded him, Wang Tao had glanced towards the stairwell.
It was pitch-black down there, and he couldn’t see the specifics, but he caught sight of a pair of green eyes!
At the same time, he also saw its HP bar——————- [15000/15000]
Fifteen thousand HP!
This was the creature with the highest HP Wang Tao had encountered since the apocalypse began!
As understood so far, HP could essentially be equated with combat prowess.
That’s why, the moment Wang Tao saw that amount of HP, he didn’t even bother to pick up the Zombie Cores and simply ran!
“Stronger than gorilla zombies!”
Everyone was shocked.
They had all seen the combat capability of a gorilla zombie; if something was even stronger than that, what kind of monster could it be!
But this was the hospital, with a large number of Elite Zombies, so the emergence of such a creature seemed reasonable…
“So… do we continue?”
“Let’s head back first! We two just got a lot of Crystal Cores down there!”
“Okay!”
For these soldiers, executing orders was second nature.
When Wang Tao said to leave, they left immediately without any hesitation, even if there were injured zombies left unfinished.
On the way back, Wang Tao briefed everyone about the situation on the minus first floor. However, when he mentioned the zombie with 15000 HP, Wang Tao suddenly furrowed his brows.
He recalled encountering a creature with 10000 HP on the outer ring, which had sent a shiver through his legs with sheer terror. But this 15000 HP creature didn t exude the same frightening presence.
Could it be that his strength had increased?
But that wasn’t right. Even now, thinking back to the 10000 HP creature, Wang Tao still felt a shiver down his spine! On the other hand, those green eyes from just now-while Wang Tao feared its HP, given it was a whopping fifteen thousand—he didn’t sense as much danger from its aura, at least not as much as from the shadow or gorilla zombies.
Wang Tao suddenly had an outlandish thought—
…Could it be, it’s not as strong as I had imagined? Did I scare myself?”
