BXBX NOVEL Chapter 361: 171 Monster Manual_2
Jiang Shixue said with eagerness in her voice.
The plane had dropped quite a few airdrops just now, but only one was close to Wang Tao. Wang Tao had retrieved that and come back; the locations of the other airdrops were still unknown.
“Let’s wait for Little Jun to wake up first. Anyway, we’ll be heading in the direction of the airdrops, so it’s not too late to grab them later,”
Wang Tao said with a smile.
To him, the most important thing in the airdrops was the Monster Manual; he didn’t really care about the rest. So, even if other survivors took the airdrops, it wouldn’t matter.
“Okay~”
Jiang Shixue really wanted to go pick up the airdrops because she felt that these items falling from the sky were fun. However, she still listened to Wang Tao; if he said not to go, she wouldn’t go.
After checking the Monster Manual, Wang Tao became even more cautious.
Even though he was on the national highway, it was rural and secluded here, and no one knew if there were mysterious creatures like the Black Mist Monster around. After all, those were even scarier than zombies…
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened until Xu Xiaojun woke up.
“Brother Wang, let’s hurry and get the airdrops!”
Xu Xiaojun became even more excited than Wang Tao when he heard about the airdrops, completely forgetting about his Level 2 Ascension.
He had seen an airdrop once before, but it hadn’t landed inside their town. At that time, many people from their camp had died trying to retrieve it. But it was worth it because the airdrop contained a lot of Inhibitors and the Zombie Guide…
Now that Xu Xiaojun heard there were more airdrops, he got so excited. After all, there were always good things inside the airdrops! Wang Tao had helped him a lot, and he didn’t have much to repay him with. If he could pick up a few more airdrops for Wang Tao, it would make him feel better.
Seeing the excited Xu Xiaojun, Wang Tao said with a smile,
“Alright, let’s go.”
The three set off again, heading west.
On the way, Xu Xiaojun tested his strength after his Level 2 Ascension. It was a world of difference from before.
Xu Xiaojun could hardly believe he was so strong—more than a dozen Mad Demon Zombies, and he had chopped them down with just a few swings of his axe!
This was something he wouldn’t even dare to dream of before!
“You’ll get stronger and stronger in the future. You’ll get used to it,”
Wang Tao patted his shoulder.
“Yeah!”
Xu Xiaojun nodded resolutely.
Suddenly, Wang Tao thought that giving that Broken Giant Axe to Xu Xiaojun might be suitable.
The axe was quite powerful, but it was too big and heavy. Wang Tao wasn’t comfortable using it. He preferred the One-Handed Axe for its flexibility.
“Later, I’ll let Little Jun try it. If it suits him, then he can use it…”
Wang Tao thought, stroking his chin.
…
After a while, the three arrived at a small town.
Originally, Wang Tao hadn’t planned to enter the town, but he found there was an airdrop there.
That was definitely something they couldn’t pass up, so they ran over to it.
There was a group of zombies near the airdrop, but Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue didn’t lift a finger; Xu Xiaojun took care of them with ease.
Wang Tao went over to open the airdrop box.
Before getting a good look, he suddenly heard an exclamation.
“Hey! Drop our airdrop!”
Wang Tao looked up to see a buzz-cut young man dressed like a survivor pointing at him from the roof of a three-story building.
The moment the man appeared, Jiang Shixue spotted him. But she didn’t feel he was threatening, so she didn’t react too strongly.
Xu Xiaojun quickly stood in front of Wang Tao.
Wang Tao was burly, but Xu Xiaojun was even bigger, especially after his Ascension to Level Two, which had increased his size even further. His presence was so imposing that when he stood there, he exuded a tremendous sense of pressure.
Despite being in an elevated position, the buzz-cut man involuntarily took a step back when confronted by Xu Xiaojun’s glare.
Perhaps feeling that his step back was somewhat embarrassing, he immediately shouted in a lower tone,
“I’m talking to you! That’s our airdrop. Put the stuff down now, and I’ll turn a blind eye. Otherwise, you’ll be in trouble when our boss gets here!”
Hearing this, Wang Tao’s eyebrows raised.
This guy’s got some nerve!
Not to mention that an airdrop is unclaimed property and belongs to whoever picks it up. Considering that the airdrop hadn’t even been opened, it would belong to him by any sense of order or timing, not them!
“I don’t like people talking down to me from above.”
Wang Tao looked at the man, his voice level.
As soon as his words fell, Jiang Shixue suddenly sprinted, climbing up the wall and dashing to the third floor. The buzz-cut man didn’t see anything before feeling a pain in his butt, and then he was flying through the air.
“Ahh—”
Thud!
Jiang Shixue had kicked the buzz-cut man down, and he landed near the airdrop. He had an HP of a thousand, so this height definitely wouldn’t kill him, but it left him dizzy and disoriented.
Xu Xiaojun was momentarily stunned by Jiang Shixue’s actions, then quickly recovered. He grabbed the man’s collar, hoisted him to his feet, then kicked his shins.
Thump—
The buzz-cut man found himself kneeling in front of Wang Tao.
Wang Tao: “…”
What he actually meant was for the man to come down and talk.
But he didn’t expect Jiang Shixue to kick him down directly, and he certainly didn’t expect Xu Xiaojun and Jiang Shixue to work together so well…
Well, these little details didn’t matter; the result was essentially the same.
“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!”
The buzz-cut man finally came to his senses, staring up at Wang Tao towering before him like a mountain, Wang Tao’s indifferent expression, and the bloodied Firefighter Axe hanging at his waist… It scared the daylights out of him. He promptly bowed his head and raised both hands in surrender.
