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

Chapter 564 - 239 Bone-Chopping Uniform Hand Axe_1

"It seems there’s a Level 3 Lord Zombie! Go!"

Wang Tao released the entangling roots, retracted the iron tree vines and the spoils of war, and then led everyone quickly downstairs.

Fan Peng’s location was in the school cafeteria, and he said the suspected Level 3 Lord Zombie was inside the cafeteria.

When Wang Tao arrived, everyone else was just getting there as well.

"Mr. Wang!"

Everyone hurriedly greeted him.

Judging by their countenance, they were slightly disheveled but all seemed invigorated. It seemed that they must have made quite a few gains during this time.

"Hmm."

Wang Tao nodded, then turned his gaze to Fan Peng.

Fan Peng hurriedly said,

"Mr. Wang, that zombie is in here! It’s the one I saw earlier! It’s very large..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Tao’s eyebrows rose.

Had he really identified the wrong zombie?

However, whether he was mistaken or not, the zombie needed to be killed.

The cafeteria was filled with moss, tendrils, and the like, blocking out the light and casting darkness inside.

Using plant affinity perception, Wang Tao could vaguely sense there was a very large creature inside, surrounded by numerous smaller zombies.

"Let’s go in for a look."

Wang Tao led the way, and everyone quickly followed behind him, entering the cafeteria together.

The school cafeteria had two floors. The first floor was crowded with ordinary Level 2 Zombies, which charged at them, gnashing their teeth and clawing at the air as soon as they saw people entering.

The Level 3 Lord Zombie was on the second floor.

Xu Xiaojun cleared a path with a few shockwaves, quickly dealing with all the ordinary zombies.

The others looked on enviously; although they could handle Level 2 Common Zombies, none of them could do so as effortlessly as Xu Xiaojun, who was like a reaping machine.

"Hm? It’s coming down!"

Wang Tao looked toward the staircase.

Thump, thump, thump—

A huge, rotting hand first stretched out from the stairwell, followed by a burly figure emerging from the staircase.

"Hiss—"

Everyone felt a terrifying sense of oppression at the sight of this figure, even causing some involuntarily trembling in their legs.

This was a zombie covered in bulging muscles, standing even taller than Xu Xiaojun, likely around two and a half meters in height.

It wore a tattered chef’s uniform, with a crooked chef’s hat on its head, wielding a bone-chopping hand axe.

Had this zombie once been a chef?

[HP: 70000/70000]

[Mana: 40000/40000]

[Grade: Level 3 - Lord]

The Chef Zombie had 10,000 more HP than the Ghost Claw Zombie that Wang Tao had just killed, and it looked more fearsome.

But Wang Tao felt that this Chef Zombie didn’t pressure him as much as the Ghost Claw Zombie did.

Generally speaking, the more HP a zombie has, the stronger it is. But this rule wasn’t absolute; there are always exceptions.

This Chef Zombie was a more common type, whereas the Ghost Claw Zombie he had just killed was one of those exceptions.

"This is a Level 3 Lord Zombie, fall back,"

Wang Tao said without turning his head to the others.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately started to retreat. A Level 3 Lord Zombie was not something they could handle!

Then everyone noticed that Wang Tao had somehow acquired a huge white bone knife in his hand. Wielding the knife, he rushed toward the Chef Zombie.

"So brash!"

Everyone was somewhat taken aback by this move.

Although Wang Tao was a Level 3 ability user, this was a Level 3 Lord Zombie after all! Shouldn’t he first test the zombie from a distance to see what abilities it had, then formulate a combat strategy?

But they soon found themselves gaping in astonishment!

Because during Wang Tao’s sprint, many black roots suddenly appeared around him, enveloping his entire figure in the blink of an eye and transforming him into a "monster" over two meters tall!

Wang Tao reached the Chef Zombie and swung his knife directly.

Bang!

This blow, infused with high-frequency vibration, struck heavily on the zombie’s head.

[-4583]

A nearly five thousand damage number floated up.

Hidden behind his mask, Wang Tao’s lips curled into a grin. Now these were his normal numbers!

"Roar!"

The Chef Zombie roared in anger. It swung its hand axe at Wang Tao.

Wang Tao, though hardy, didn’t need to exchange blows directly. He immediately stepped back to avoid the Chef Zombie’s attack and began to energize his next strike.

"Defense isn’t high, speed isn’t fast, but it likely has great strength—the damage must be significant..."

Wang Tao instantly assessed the physical attributes of this Chef Zombie.

Wang Tao liked dealing with zombies that had low defense and speed or both. He felt that those types of zombies were simpler to deal with.

What he hated most were zombies with high defense or fast speed, or those with bizarre abilities. Such zombies weren’t undefeatable, but they were difficult to kill. In a post-apocalyptic world, wasting time was a true waste of life; taking too long might mean getting overwhelmed by a horde of zombies, so a quick victory was always preferred.

He felt that this Chef Zombie would likely be a quick battle.

Of course, it remained to be seen whether it had any special abilities.

Boom—

Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan charged at the Chef Zombie together, hitting it at the same time. Xu Xiaojun hacked with his axe, and Nie Siyan stabbed with a steel bar.

[-2495]

[-1831]

Then came Jiang Shixue, who leaped high, clutching two Night Demon Blades in her hands and slashing across the Chef Zombie’s face.

[-2234]

[-2285]
