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

“So, all we need to do now is to hold on. In a few days, reinforcements will arrive! As long as we can hold on for these few days, we can all survive!”

Lan Yulian exclaimed loudly.

After hearing these words, a glimmer of light indeed returned to the eyes of the fearful and numb survivors.

“Next, everyone should continue with their duties and be ready to join the battle at any moment. I believe that as long as we work together, we can surely overcome this crisis!”

“Yes!”

When they had arrived, these survivors were all listless. But upon leaving, their spirits were noticeably uplifted.

After all, persistence without hope is entirely different from persistence with hope.

After everyone had left, Lan Yulian turned to Wang Tao.

“Do you think they can make it here in two days…”

Lan Yulian had sounded very confident just now, but in truth, she was quite anxious. However, as the leader, if she didn’t display confidence, then nobody else would be able to believe in her.

“I’m not sure either, just hope they can get here smoothly without running into too much danger…”

Wang Tao sighed.

He couldn’t be certain about such things, but having hope was still a good thing.

“I’m going out to kill some zombies, to help Lightning increase its strength.”

Ever since Lightning’s Level 2 Ascension, there hadn’t been time to increase its HP. Now that they were planning to defend Zijin Base to the death, they naturally needed to bolster Lightning’s strength.

“Okay, be careful!”

Wang Tao walked around the top of the wall and found a spot where there were relatively fewer zombies. He then hugged Lightning and jumped down.

Lightning currently only had a little over five thousand HP, with much room for improvement.

The zombies outside the base varied from Level 1 to Level 3, with most being Ordinary Zombies, and occasionally there were some Elite Zombies. He hadn’t seen any Zombie Lords, however.

Wang Tao had Lightning follow closely behind him, then he took out his Mutant Explosion-proof Baton.

His attack power was too high; if he used the tusk long knife or the Shockwave, he might kill the zombies outright.

But if he used the baton, those stunned by the electric shock — as long as they didn’t have a weakness to electricity — many could still survive.

Wang Tao waited for the right moment and swung the baton at a zombie.

Zzzzzzt—

An arc of electricity flashed, and the zombie Wang Tao attacked had its head smashed to pieces, instantly killing it.

At the same time, the electric arc spread from that zombie to others around it, stunning a group of zombies! These shocked zombies weren’t dead but were all severely injured.

Wang Tao immediately commanded Lightning to rush over and finish off the surviving zombies.

Every zombie Lightning killed caused its HP bar to surge up a good amount.

After all, it was only Level 2, and the zombies left by Wang Tao were Level 3, meaning Lightning was engaging in higher-level kills, and the HP gained was tripled.

In not too much time, Lightning’s HP reached 29,999.

“Let’s go, back inside!”

Wang Tao picked up Lightning and used the Iron Tree Vines to latch onto a protrusion on the wall, returning inside like a spider.

Then Wang Tao found Lan Yulian and took out some of the meat from the Fourth-Order Wild Boar Beast they had earlier set aside.

“Eat up!”

Wang Tao wasn’t sure if eating this meat would allow Lightning to ascend, but since Lightning was only Level 2 and the boar beast was Level 4, even if it couldn’t ascend, eating more meat should be beneficial. After all, eating the meat of these creatures could slightly increase base attributes.

“Woof woof!”

Lightning barked, then began to feast heartily.

Compared to last time, Lightning ate much more, but there were no changes. Just when Wang Tao thought it might not work, Lightning suddenly stopped eating, then ran over to Wang Tao’s feet and lay down next to them.

“Eh? It really worked!”

Wang Tao was slightly surprised.

It seemed that the meat of the fourth-order creatures had a greater effect on Lightning than on humans! Furthermore, Wang Tao felt that, in some ways, Lightning was also a sort of creature. After all, it too had mutated from an animal.

However, Lightning couldn’t use Abilities or fuse with Crystal Cores. It was different from the creatures Wang Tao had seen before; rather, it was more similar to Jiang Shixue…

No matter what, Lightning’s Ascension was a good thing. Once it reached Level 3, it could fight by Wang Tao’s side. Currently, its strength and HP were too low, and bringing it into battle would be a burden.

…

The addition of Wang Tao and his group greatly relieved the pressure on Zijin Base.

After all, he had moved all the Thermal Weapons from the military base over. Against zombies below Level 4, Thermal Weapons were still effective.

“It seems like the zombie horde’s attacks have slowed down a lot…”

Atop the wall, Lu Yingfeng put down the binoculars and said to Yang Changhong beside her.

“Indeed. I suppose these zombies can’t possibly keep attacking non-stop. They probably need to rest too… It’s already getting dark. Let’s go down and eat something; we can’t fight on an empty stomach.”

“Mm.”

A few of them walked down from the wall.

Lu Yingfeng informed Wang Tao about the changes in the zombie movements.

Wang Tao nodded and said:

“Then it seems we can rest a bit now. But we can’t relax; after all, zombies are more active at night. If there’s any problem, call me immediately.”

“Alright!”

After dinner, the group began their shifts.

The attacks from the zombies outside the base had slowed but hadn’t stopped. Tonight was doomed not to be peaceful.

Wang Tao went straight to rest.

He was the highest Combat Power within the base and needed to be ready for any sudden situation. When nothing was happening, it was important to rest well and gather strength.

At night,

Ding Yuqin quietly woke Wang Tao up.

“Wang Tao, Four-level zombies are suspected to have appeared in the horde!”

Wang Tao opened his eyes.

“Four-level zombies… they’ve finally come!”

An attack of this scale by the horde would not be possible without Four-level zombies.

So they had been waiting for the night to attack!

“I’ll go take a look!”
