Chapter 636 - 263 Anomalous Equipment_1
"Are we safe now?"
"We’re safe."
Inside the helicopter. When Wang Tao said they were safe, several people all let out a long sigh of relief.
Though the helicopter could fly, those giants were dozens of meters tall and could throw rocks, which was very dangerous for the helicopter.
If it hadn’t been for He Jijun’s excellent piloting skills, the helicopter might have actually been brought down by a giant zombie!
To avoid leading the giant zombies to the base, He Jijun deliberately flew in other directions. Fortunately, the helicopter’s fuel tank was large; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to fly for so long.
But during the escape from the urban area, Wang Tao had the feeling of being watched. He wasn’t sure if it was by the giant zombies, but the feeling persisted.
So he kept his guard up and told He Jijun to keep flying.
Half an hour later, that feeling of being spied on finally disappeared.
For safety, Wang Tao had He Jijun continue to fly until now. Wang Tao actually wanted to fly a little longer, but they were running out of fuel.
"Let’s head back, but let’s take a different route."
The helicopter circled around once more, barely making it back to the military base before running out of fuel.
Before landing, Wang Tao checked to make sure there were no problems with the military base, then allowed He Jijun to land.
"Phew—"
Yang Changhong and the others staggered off the helicopter.
He Jijun’s piloting skills were high, but after all, this was a military transport helicopter with no comfort to speak of. Plus, they had to dodge danger, so there was practically no pleasant traveling experience; they were almost nauseated.
Even Lightning, who was always spirited, seemed listless. It was only after Wang Tao stroked its head that it regained some spirit.
Wang Tao was still alright, though he felt slightly uncomfortable.
The one in the best mental state was He Jijun; he seemed unfazed and even drove the helicopter to the hangar.
Once at the command center hall, Wang Tao took out various foods.
Everyone started eating without much concern for image, even though they had already replenished some energy on the plane. But they were still hungry.
"Let’s summarize the battle process..."
Wang Tao clapped his hands.
After eating a lot, the others’ spirits had revived substantially, and they immediately started discussing.
By the outcome, this operation was naturally a success. They had killed Level 4 zombies and hadn’t lost any personnel. It was a great victory.
But from the process, there were too many dangers! If it hadn’t been for their quick reactions, good skills, and a bit of luck, it’s hard to say what the result would have been.
And the reason for all this was the Explosion-proof Zombie’s extremely strong defense and its ridiculous blood regeneration ability.
They had originally prepared four heavy machine guns, but only one of them really inflicted damage on the Explosion-proof Zombie.
This disrupted Wang Tao’s initial plan and severely affected their efficiency.
If the Explosion-proof Zombie’s defense had been weaker and it didn’t have the blood regeneration ability, then the four heavy machine guns firing at the same time should have resolved it quickly.
The power of the heavy machine guns was actually quite large—ordinary zombies could be torn in half by a single bullet. Even Elite Zombies couldn’t withstand a few bullets.
But unfortunately, they encountered a Level 4 zombie with freakish defense!
Wang Tao felt that Level 4 might be a watershed—dealing with zombies below Level 4 with firearms was basically no problem. But after Level 4, it might start getting difficult.
Especially in the end, when Wang Tao fired a few shots at the Giant Zombie with the heavy machine gun. That damage, around a dozen points per shot, was probably comparable to giving it a massage...
"It’s an unjust battle liability; we were just unlucky to encounter a zombie with strong defense..."
Wang Tao hadn’t gone into details about the Explosion-proof Zombie before, but now he briefly shared the information about this zombie.
"So it’s a zombie that’s very good at defense and can also heal its own injuries..."
Everyone suddenly understood.
No wonder the Explosion-proof Zombie was so hard to kill!
After Wang Tao’s explanation, everyone suddenly felt eager to try again.
Since they had managed to deal with that extremely defensively abnormal Explosion-proof Zombie, defeating other Level 4 zombies should be no problem!
If they went again next time, maybe they could quickly resolve the other Level 4 zombies!
"No matter what, we have had a great victory this time. And I’ve got another Level 4 Ascension Crystal Core..."
Hearing that Wang Tao had obtained another Level 4 Ascension Crystal Core, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Find your next read on empire
If they had been busy for so long without even getting a Crystal Core, that would have been frustrating.
"Alright, everyone go get some good rest! Prepare for the next sortie!"
"Okay!"
Everyone went to their rooms to rest.
Today they hadn’t expended much physical strength, but they had drained a lot mentally and needed a good rest.
Wang Tao went back to his room to check over the spoils of war.
He had a brief look on the helicopter, and it was clear that a Level 4, Lord zombie was extraordinary. Like the Level 4, Lord Night Demon he killed before, the spoils were very rich!
The Explosion-proof Zombie provided 25,000 Special Energy and 1 Awakening Key. Wang Tao now had two Awakening Keys!
But looking at this Awakening Key, Wang Tao suddenly had a bad feeling... He had thought that Awakening would consume a key, but now he wondered if perhaps Awakening might involve more than just using a key? Otherwise, if one key led to Awakening, what use would subsequent keys be?
