Chapter 576 - 243 Giant_1
Whooosh—
The sky was gloomy with dense clouds as a downpour ensued.
"Phew—There should be nothing left behind now!"
Yang Changhong entered, wiped the rain off her forehead, and passed the last item from the supply drop box to Wang Tao.
Everyone then began to categorize the items from the supply drops.
There were a total of 10 supply drops, and the contents had been retrieved by the group.
"Inhibitors, compressed food, medical kits..."
The contents of the supply drops were the same as before, with no special items like mechanical arms.
However, these items were still precious. Especially the inhibitors, which could currently only be found in supply drops.
What Wang Tao actually wanted to see was the Zombie Guide and news from the military base, but unfortunately, neither was available—the Zombie Guide did indeed exist but it was an outdated version, not updated for a long time.
"Let’s pack everything up and continue on our way!"
"Alright!"
Wang Tao now had two vehicles, which could carry quite a lot of stuff. Naturally, there was a place for these supplies.
Once everything was packed, Wang Tao and his group hit the road again.
Wang Tao knew the location of the military base; although it wasn’t marked on the map, the first supply drop he retrieved had the precise location of the military base written inside it.
But just knowing this location wasn’t enough to find it at will; a lot of landmarks were needed.
Wang Tao had a rough idea of the area it was in. Once they got close to the Wuyang City urban area, they could determine the location of the military base based on those landmarks.
"Is the urban area really as dangerous as they say?"
Inside the vehicle, Yang Changhong asked with some uncertainty.
Before coming, she had heard many say that the urban area of Wuyang City, in fact the whole of Wuyang City, was extremely dangerous, a place of certain death.
But now, they were already in Wuyang City, and the distance to the urban area wasn’t very far. The journey hadn’t been entirely peaceful, but they hadn’t encountered any real danger either...
"The danger is certain. Don’t forget, the urban population of Wuyang City is ten million!"
Wang Tao had no doubts about this.
After the apocalypse, he had travelled through many places. Less populated areas weren’t necessarily safe, but densely populated areas were definitely dangerous—this was the wisdom he gained from experience.
"That’s true, after all, it’s a city with such a large population..."
Yang Changhong felt she might have been a bit too arrogant after increasing her strength, even daring to question the danger level of Wuyang City.
Wang Tao then added,
"But there is no need to worry too much. As long as we don’t encounter a large-scale swarm of zombies or Level 4 zombies, we can handle anything."
Wang Tao wasn’t arrogant; he was simply confident in his own strength. After all, he had 110,000 HP. Even if it was a Level 3 Zombie Lord with 100,000 HP, he felt he could put up a fight!
Of course, if it were Level 4 zombies, then running would be the only option.
He didn’t know much about Level 4 yet, having only seen one that could create illusions... His data on them was limited, and he couldn’t accurately estimate the combat power of a Level 4.
"Mhm!"
Yang Changhong nodded. She was very grateful to be with Wang Tao; otherwise, she wasn’t sure if reaching this place would have even been possible...
"There’s a Level 3 zombie ahead."
Wang Tao suddenly said.
"Where?"
Yang Changhong instantly became alert.
"Inside that abandoned car. It’s one of the weaker Level 3 Elite Zombies."
Following Wang Tao’s indication, Yang Changhong immediately responded,
"I’ll deal with it! Don’t interfere, I want to test my strength."
"Okay."
Wang Tao nodded, then used the walkie-talkie to get Xu Xiaojun to stop the car.
The rain was still falling heavily outside, and even though it was corrosive acid rain, humans wouldn’t have much of an issue as long as they didn’t get drenched too much. This was especially true for Ability Users with high HP, who could withstand the corrosive acid rain for quite some time.
Yang Changhong, holding the standard hand axe Wang Tao had given her, approached the vehicle.
"Roar—" A zombie suddenly opened the car door and lunged at Yang Changhong.
Well-prepared, Yang Changhong dodged and then swung her high-frequency vibrating axe, chopping the zombie’s hand off.
Splat!
The zombie’s hand was severed!
Yang Changhong’s method of chopping off the limbs of zombies first was a common strategy among survivors. Although it didn’t kill zombies quickly, it incapacitated them. Unless some zombies had special abilities, after having their limbs cut off, they became easy targets.
Wang Tao didn’t have this habit; he always aimed straight for the head. The reason was simple—he had high damage output. If he could kill quickly, there was no need to waste time with zombies.
This Level 3 Elite Zombie only had 30,000 HP, and no special abilities, though its defense was a bit high. After Yang Changhong sliced off its hands, it managed to hold on for a short time before she killed it.
"A defense crystal core, no wonder it was so tough!"
Yang Changhong got back into the car and conscientiously handed the crystal core to Wang Tao.
"Let’s keep moving," Wang Tao informed Xu Xiaojun over the walkie-talkie before turning to Yang Changhong and asking, "How do you feel?"
"Incredible! I’ve never felt so strong before!" Yang Changhong said with some emotion.
She now had over 50,000 HP and four abilities. Killing this Level 3 Elite Zombie with 30,000 HP was no challenge at all.
"Thank you. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t know if I’d ever have had the chance to reach Level 3 in my lifetime..."
Yang Changhong looked at Wang Tao sincerely.
"Then just help me kill more zombies and earn crystal cores. And maybe warm my bed on the side..."
Wang Tao said with a smile.
"..."
Yang Changhong rolled her eyes at him.
The group continued their journey.
