Chapter 577 - 243 Giant_2
```
They hadn’t walked much further when Wang Tao had the car stop again.
"Three Level 3 zombies have appeared, three Level 2 Elite Zombies, and one Level 3 Elite Zombie..."
Since Yang Changhong had already tested her strength with over 50,000 HP, there was no need to take on zombies single-handedly anymore. She, along with Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan, got out of the car and easily dealt with these zombies.
After taking care of them, they continued on their way.
About an hour later, they encountered Level 3 zombies again. This time there were three Level 3 Elite Zombies.
It was still Yang Changhong and the other two who got out of the car to handle them.
"The closer we get to Wuyang City, the more high-level zombies we encounter!"
According to the previous situation, unless there were maternal zombies nearby, it was rare to encounter Level 3 Elite Zombies.
But now they were encountering them frequently. The number of zombies on the route Wang Tao had chosen wasn’t actually high, especially now that it was raining, and many zombies were not very active. This could only mean one thing—the overall level of zombies near Wuyang City was quite high!
Afterward, they encountered zombies several more times, and although there was no real danger, it did affect their speed somewhat.
Before nightfall, Wang Tao stopped in front of a small roadside motel. After getting out of the car, he used his Perception Ability to scan the motel and immediately raised an eyebrow.
"There are three Level 3 Elites inside and one Level 3 Zombie Lord..."
"A Level 3 Lord!"
Everyone was somewhat surprised.
Zombie Lords had much higher combat power than Elite Zombies. Although they were now Level 3, it didn’t necessarily mean they could defeat them.
"Let’s go in and take a look."
Wang Tao felt that this Zombie Lord wasn’t particularly strong, but he still cautiously took out his Bone Knife. He didn’t activate Entangling Roots, mainly because the motel wasn’t very tall, and he would be 2.5 meters tall after using Entangling Roots, unable to even enter the door unless he destroyed it. But that would complicate a stealth attack...
The group quietly entered the motel.
Perhaps it was because Wang Tao and the others had been soaked in the rain, covering some of their scent, the zombies in the motel did not detect their arrival immediately.
As a result, Wang Tao and his group managed to ambush zombies for once—an unexpected turn as it had always been the zombies ambushing them. This time, with the help of the Perception Ability, they could ambush the zombies!
[HP: 40000/40000]
[Mana: 15000/15000]
[Grade: Level 3 - Lord]
This was a Level 3 Zombie Lord with 50,000 HP, wearing a shabby suit, with a somewhat overweight body.
It was sitting on a bed in a room, seemingly contemplating life.
When Wang Tao and his group burst in, it failed to react in time and was greeted with a barrage of attacks to the face.
[-8584]
[-3482]
[-3812]
[...]
"It doesn’t have high defense, make it quick!"
Aside from Jiang Shixue, Wang Tao and his group were all Level 3 Ability Users equipped with Level 3 weapons. Although Jiang Shixue wasn’t Level 3, her attacks were not to be underestimated.
Therefore, under the sudden onslaught from Wang Tao’s group, the suit-wearing zombie only lasted two seconds before the ambush killed it. It might have been the most aggrieved Level 3 Zombie Lord to die.
Wang Tao withdrew the Bone Knife he had used to hack off the zombie’s head.
The suit-wearing zombie only added 4,800 Special Energy to Wang Tao, which was a bit low, even less than what the Level 3 Elite Night Demon had given him previously.
But it was understandable since this suit-wearing zombie was probably one of the weaker Level 3 Zombie Lords Wang Tao had encountered so far.
The Crystal Core in its head was [Level 3 Crystal Core - Power], but the Crystal Core Gift Bag it dropped only contained one Crystal Core [Level 3 Crystal Core - Running].
There was no Omnipotent Crystal Core, not even an Ascension Crystal Core.
Wang Tao cursed inwardly about its poverty and then looked at the other two Loot Packs.
The second Loot Pack contained Potions.
[Received: Power Potion (small) x20]
[Received: Running Potion (Medium) x20]
A total of 40 Potions, which was fairly acceptable.
Yet, ironically, the suit-wearing zombie hadn’t even used its running ability before being killed.
The third Loot Pack contained clothes.
[Received: Black Combat Suit x1]
[Black Combat Suit: Durability +10, Tear Resistance +10]
This suit seemed quite good, and Wang Tao could wear it. However, he still had the hoodie outfit he had obtained before, which still had plenty of durability. There was no need for him to change unless the clothes were worn out.
After killing the Level 3 Zombie Lord, the group also took care of the other Elite Zombies in the motel.
Once they were sure there was no danger, Wang Tao opened the map.
"According to the map, we should reach the urban area tomorrow..."
Hearing this, Nie Siyan and the others were both excited and apprehensive.
They were excited because they had finally reached the urban area of Wuyang City, which meant the military base shouldn’t be far. The apprehension was the uncertainty of what the urban area might be like; it would be troublesome if it proved to be dangerous.
"Rest well tonight and maintain the best combat condition for tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
...
The next day.
Whoosh—
Boom—
The heavy rain hadn’t stopped and had even started to thunder.
Wang Tao opened the window.
"This weather looks quite frightening, but it definitely maximally interferes with the zombies’ perception. It’s a suitable day to go out!"
After a simple breakfast, they continued on their journey.
As soon as they stepped out, Wang Tao felt that today was different from the day before.
Although it had been pouring the day before, there were still quite a few zombies on the road. Those zombies were basically zoning out on the road and could only sense people approaching when they were close. They hadn’t even turned around before Xu Xiaojun and the others killed them.
