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

Wang Tao felt like he had overlooked something.

His special energy had two functions, “Extraction abilities” and “Synthetize Ability.” But he had always used synthesis and never extraction.

Moreover, his special energy was not abundant, so he felt extraction was not as good as synthesis, after all, both extraction and synthesis of a Level 2 Ability required 5,000 energy.

But if he had a lot of special energy, he could freely extract abilities and then fuse them with other abilities, wouldn’t that be like being able to change abilities continuously? The cost of changing abilities was just 5,000 special energy.

Of course, he didn’t have much special energy now, so he couldn’t change Level 2 Abilities at will, but a Level 1 Special Ability only required 1,000 special energy!

He still had over eight thousand special energy left, he could change Level 1 Special Abilities at least eight times!

Wang Tao had been hesitant before. Until he found the most suitable combination of abilities, he had left an ability slot empty—such a waste!

Now, Wang Tao felt that he could first learn a Level 1 Special Ability, and later when there were better options, just extract it. After all, extracting a Level 1 Special Ability would only cost 1,000 special energy.

Having realized this, Wang Tao didn’t say another word and immediately fused the High-frequency Vibration Crystal Core.

In Wang Tao’s view, this should be the highest single target attack ability he had encountered so far!

Even if it was a Level 1 Ability, if it came from his hands as a Level Two person, its power should be substantial.

Of course, Wang Tao still had quite a few Level 2 Ascension Crystal Cores, which could be used to upgrade the high-frequency vibration to Level Two. But to extract the ability after upgrading it to Level Two would require 5,000 special energy, and Wang Tao wanted to save some special energy to synthesize abilities, so there was no need to upgrade to Level Two for the time being. He would wait until he had more special energy.

Thus, the High-frequency Vibration Ability was upgraded by Wang Tao to Level 1 +10 and then he stopped there.

A Level 1 +10 Ability, used by someone like Wang Tao with 29,999 HP, was bound to be powerful.

Wang Tao stretched out his right hand and activated the high-frequency vibration.

Buzz buzz~

Wang Tao heard a faint buzzing sound, but visually, he felt like his hand hadn’t changed much. The range of the vibration was extremely small, and the speed was minuscule, so it wasn’t immediately noticeable.

Standing beside him, Jiang Shixue stared curiously at Wang Tao’s right hand.

“Brother, how can your hand move so fast?”

“Hmm? You can see it clearly?”

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised, as he himself couldn’t even see his own movements, only feeling the regular vibration in his hand.

“Yeah.”

Jiang Shixue nodded, then took Wang Tao’s hand, feeling the vibrations in her own hand. A smile spread across Jiang Shixue’s face.

“Fun~”

“…This is a killing technique, how can you describe it as fun!”

Wang Tao was somewhat speechless.

His high-frequency vibration ability needed to be used in conjunction with weapons, the more angular the weapon, the greater the power. Without a weapon, if it was just his hand vibrating, there would basically be no lethality, unless his fingernails were long and hard enough; otherwise, it could only serve for a massage.

So Wang Tao stretched out his hand and tickled Jiang Shixue.

“Giggle~ That’s so ticklish~”

After fooling around for a while, Wang Tao then said to Jiang Shixue:

“By the way, it’s time for your medicine.”

The medicine Wang Tao referred to was naturally the Zombie Culture Fluid.

After all, calling it Zombie Culture Fluid directly could easily be misunderstood, so he just used “medicine” instead.

“Okay~”

An hour later, Jiang Shixue’s HP increased by another 1,000, reaching 25,200! A few more times, and she would be able to reach 30,000 HP.

It was just unclear whether Jiang Shixue needed an Ascension crystal core or not? After all, her constitution was different from normal humans…

At night, the convoy stopped.

If it wasn’t for being chased by zombies, Yang Changhong and the others would definitely not want to take a night drive.

The convoy stopped near a gas station.

They had assumed there was no gasoline left in this gas station, but unexpectedly, they found a few barrels. It was just right to replenish the vehicles’ energy, which was a pleasant surprise.

The moon came out tonight, significantly increasing visibility. This was good news for the people on watch tonight.

But just then, some people heard several distant screams.

“There are screams in the distance!”

Instantly, everyone became alert.

Wang Tao heard it too. He and Jiang Shixue got out of the car and looked toward the town with a frown.

In the course of an afternoon, they had traveled from a county town to a smaller town. The gas station was on the outskirts of the town, and they hadn’t ventured deep into it. The screams had come from inside the town.

“Boss, there are survivors inside, something seems to have happened! Should we…”

Some people looked to Yang Changhong.

Yang Changhong shook her head and said:

“If it were daylight, we could consider helping out, but it’s nighttime, and we can’t manage that much.”

If it was a matter of conveniently saving survivors, Yang Changhong wouldn’t mind, but risking the lives of her subordinates for it wasn’t worth it.

Everyone nodded; under such circumstances, nobody wanted to take the risk.

Naturally, Wang Tao said nothing; his thoughts were the same as Yang Changhong’s. They could only hope that the survivors could escape danger.

However, though they wanted to avoid trouble, trouble seemed to be actively seeking them out.

Before long, everyone heard a series of footsteps.

Four figures dressed like survivors appeared from the other side of the street.

They were all wounded, looking very pitiful. And at first glance, they had spotted Yang Changhong’s convoy parked near the gas station.
