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

Wang Tao had an Epic Quality Berserk Crystal Core in his hands, which had burst out of a gorilla zombie before! If it hadn’t been for Wu Fei saving his life at that time, he might have died.

And he considered this type of Berserk Crystal Core one of the best.

Because it was like having an extra life!

Unfortunately, the side effects of this Crystal Core were too perverse, directly deducting 10,000 HP, Wang Tao certainly wouldn’t dare to merge with it.

He thought about whether he could save up two more Berserk Crystal Cores, and then synthesize a Crystal Core without side effects to merge with.

Now, he had indeed waited for another Berserk Crystal Core!

Although this Crystal Core was only of ordinary quality, it didn’t matter to Wang Tao; after all, he had an Epic Quality Berserk Crystal Core in his possession…

“I’ll take these three Crystal Cores, and another vehicle. You can take the Crystal Core Synthesizer.”

Wang Tao spoke up at this time.

“…”

Even Yang Changhong, who was accustomed to bargaining, couldn’t help but frown.

She had only these three Level 2 Crystal Cores in total, acquired at the cost of many lives. Wang Tao wanted all of them and even a vehicle?

Although the Crystal Core Synthesizer was indeed a good piece of equipment, if one didn’t consider external factors and only looked at its value, it was definitely worth the price.

But the problem was that whether it was Level 2 Crystal Cores or vehicles, both were very valuable at the moment. If she were to trade these for a Crystal Core Synthesizer, it would be a fair exchange for her team, but not for her personally!

Seeing that Yang Changhong’s expression wasn’t too good, Wang Tao immediately added:

“Of course, I can also throw in 10 bottles of Inhibitor.”

“You have Inhibitors?” After Yang Changhong was stunned for a moment, she immediately nodded, “Deal!”

Seeing how straightforward Yang Changhong was all of a sudden, Wang Tao felt that 10 bottles of Inhibitors might have been too many. But since he had already spoken, he naturally wouldn’t go back on his word.

“Alright.”

Wang Tao took out 10 bottles of Inhibitor from the backpack that Xu Xiaojun carried, and he also generously took out the instruction manual for the Crystal Core Synthesizer.

“I’m not going to swindle you, take a look at the manual first, and if there’s no issue, we can trade.”

“There’s a manual too?”

Yang Changhong was somewhat surprised; she had picked up airdrops a few times, but hadn’t seen equipment types, so she wasn’t very clear about it.

After receiving the manual, Yang Changhong quickly glanced through it and was immediately both amazed and regretful.

The functionalities of the Crystal Core Synthesizer were impressive, but it had many downsides too. Overall though, it was a good item worth exchanging for.

“No problem.”

Once she confirmed there was no problem, Wang Tao handed over both the Crystal Core Synthesizer and the 10 bottles of Inhibitors to her. She, in turn, gave all three Level 2 Crystal Cores to Wang Tao.

As she handed over the Crystal Cores, she felt somewhat reluctant since they were hard-won. However, she didn’t know what Abilities these Crystal Cores had nor had a way to test them, so she could only comfort herself that the Abilities of these Cores weren’t suitable for her…

After receiving the three Crystal Cores, Wang Tao looked much more favorably upon the group.

The Crystal Core Synthesizer was of no use to him. He initially thought that exchanging it for a vehicle would be enough, but he didn’t expect to obtain three more Crystal Cores—an unexpected windfall.

Yang Changhong let her people take away the Crystal Core Synthesizer, while she personally kept the 10 bottles of Inhibitors.

With these Inhibitors in her possession, she finally felt some sense of security.

Not everyone was as strong as Wang Tao or as well-protected. In most survivors’ battles with zombies, getting scratched or bitten was inevitable. Even accidental infection with the zombie virus could occur, like consuming food contaminated with fresh zombie blood.

At such times, Inhibitors became crucial.

If one confirmed a virus infection and wasn’t in a dying state, using an Inhibitor within one minute would mostly result in survival.

After one minute, it was a matter of luck, as the minimum incubation period for the zombie virus is one minute. Even so, having Inhibitors greatly increases chances of survival.

With Inhibitors on hand, both Yang Changhong and her subordinates could remain unpanicked. She had run out of Inhibitors recently and without a new supply, she would lose her nerve and the others would become much more timid in combat, significantly diminishing their fighting capability…

“As for the vehicles, aside from my own, you can choose any of the rest,”

Yang Changhong pointed out the vehicles.

There were over a dozen of them, but they had eight vehicles, which was rather plentiful. Plus, the vehicles were either modified pickups or off-road vehicles, quite suited for an apocalyptic environment.

“I’ll take that one.”

Wang Tao selected a particularly large off-road vehicle.

The vehicle was a bit ugly, resembling a coffin box, but it was large, and the interior only had five seats, offering ample space.

Wang Tao was one-meter-ninety, and Xu Xiaojun topped two meters, so they needed a vehicle with a spacious interior to fit comfortably.

Yang Changhong wasn’t surprised by Wang Tao’s choice; she handed over the car keys to him directly.

“Pleasure doing business!”

“Pleasure doing business.”

After Wang Tao thoroughly checked the vehicle, finding that steel plates were added to the exterior and there were no issues inside, and that the gas tank was almost full, he let Xu Xiaojun place their belongings inside.

As he got into the vehicle, Jiang Shixue, who had stayed behind Wang Tao the whole time, finally appeared.

Everyone was astonished when they saw such a clean and tidy young girl, but since there were Second-order Superpower Owners present, they refrained from staring too long.

Yang Changhong was unexpectedly taken by Jiang Shixue’s cleanliness and beauty. Seeing Jiang Shixue, she seemed to see her sister.

Shaking her head, Yang Changhong tried not to dwell on sad thoughts, and habitually asked Wang Tao.

“May I ask where Mr. Wang plans to head to next?”

“Zijing City.”

Wang Tao didn’t hide it.

“Huh? Zijing City?”

After Yang Changhong hesitated for a moment, a bright smile appeared on her face.

“What a coincidence, Mr. Wang. We’re heading to Zijing City too. How about we go together?”
