“Whimper, whimper, whimper!”

Ding Yuqin held the short spear, closed her eyes, and frantically stabbed at the zombie on the ground with its hands and feet severed. While stabbing, she also kept her mouth shut, humming softly.

Wang Tao was somewhat speechless.

After a while, Ding Yuqin finally hit the zombie’s head.

Squish!

[-5]

[0/500]

The zombie died without dropping anything, as it wasn’t killed by Wang Tao.

Wang Tao looked at Ding Yuqin. Her HP bar increased by 5 drops, turning into [105/105] ⁵

But that wasn’t the point, the point was that, below Ding Yuqin’s HP bar, some text slowly appeared—

[Hidden Attribute: Blood Pack]

[Blood Pack: In times of clouds and rain on Mount Wu, it can restore HP to the other person.]

[Friendly Reminder 1: Some lucky individuals may carry hidden attributes, which automatically take effect and cannot be directly observed. Only during the process of HP increase or skill learning is there a certain probability that they will be revealed.]

[Friendly Reminder 2: Before the hidden attributes are revealed, no enhancements can be obtained.]

Wang Tao:

No wonder Ding Yuqin could replenish his HP, so there was a hidden attribute?

“I…I actually killed a zombie…”

Feeling like her spear really pierced through, Ding Yuqin opened her eyes, looked down, and seeing that she indeed killed the zombie, she still somewhat couldn’t believe it.

Although this zombie had no combat ability left, having been beaten by Wang Tao until it was down to a sliver of HP. But this was the terrifying zombie that had scared her; she had never thought she could personally kill a zombie…

At this moment, Wang Tao spoke:

“So, zombies aren’t that terrifying after all.”

Ding Yuqin quickly turned her head to look at Wang Tao, then somewhat excitedly hugged his arm.

“I, I…”

“Enough, stop stammering. There’s another one!”

With the experience from the first one, the second time was much smoother.

This time, Ding Yuqin didn’t close her eyes; instead, under Wang Tao’s direction, she swiftly stabbed another crippled zombie to death.

[-8]

[0/500]

Ding Yuqin’s HP increased by another 5 points, now [110/110], but no text appeared below the HP bar this time.

Combining the friendly reminders he had seen earlier, Wang Tao had a rough guess—

Due to the advent of the apocalypse, some lucky individuals developed a hidden attribute.

This attribute normally wouldn’t show itself, not even visible to Wang Tao. It only had a chance of appearing during HP growth and while learning skills.

Like Ding Yuqin’s hidden attribute, it appeared during the process of her HP increase after killing the zombie.

The people, including Blondy, that he had seen before at the water plant, some of them had indeed killed zombies, but they only had HP bars with no hidden attributes. They might not have any, or they might have them but not yet revealed…

Wang Tao himself didn’t have any hidden attributes. But Wang Tao felt that he probably did, it just hadn’t revealed itself yet. After all, he had many miraculous abilities…

Although his HP had increased quite a lot and he had learned a skill, it was a matter of luck; he might not be as lucky as Ding Yuqin, whose hidden attribute revealed itself after killing the first zombie.

Hidden attributes are different than skills.

Hidden attributes should be one’s “talent.” Some people have talents; some people don’t; some people have talents but are unaware of them… All this is quite normal.

Skills, on the other hand, are similar to abilities, which everyone can learn-as long as their bodies can withstand it.

Moreover, according to the friendly reminders, until the hidden attributes are revealed, even though they can take effect, they cannot be enhanced. So, it’s like they are not fully activated?

Now that Ding Yuqin’s blood pack attribute had been revealed, didn’t that mean that the blood regeneration effect could be enhanced in the future?

It was just unclear how to enhance it, by killing zombies or through more training?

Having Ding Yuqin kill more zombies was definitely out of the question now, but more practice shouldn’t be a big problem. Wang Tao always had a scientific spirit, so he decided to put in the extra effort and help Ding Yuqin practice more.

“Hey? What are you thinking about?”

Ding Yuqin saw Wang Tao somewhat daydreaming and waved her hand in front of him.

Wang Tao suddenly grabbed Ding Yuqin’s fair and delicate hand.

“Thinking about sister-in-law.”

“…Tsk! Pervert!”

Ding Yuqin quickly withdrew her hand.

Wang Tao smiled faintly, then quickly groped a corpse and threw both bodies out of the window.

With that, all the zombies in Happy Community had finally been cleaned up.

“Besides you and me, it turns out there’s not a single survivor…”

On the way back, Ding Yuqin sighed.

“After all, it’s been almost a month since the apocalypse started. There were actually survivors before, but due to staying indoors for a long time, without food or water, they starved to death or committed suicide…”

Wang Tao had seen at least three dead people who hadn’t turned into zombies.

They had either starved to death or committed suicide.

Ding Yuqin looked back at Wang Tao and quietly moved a little closer to him.

Without Wang Tao, she would have surely ended up with the same tragic fate.

After returning home, Ding Yuqin went to cook, while Wang Tao took out tools like hammers, pliers, and a cutting machine. He was ready to craft a set of internal armor for himself.

Previously, his defensive gear had always consisted of books. Although books could indeed block the zombies’ bites, they were no match for steel.

Wang Tao was determined to make himself some steel internal armor.

Of course, with his crafting skills, it was definitely not possible to make full-body armor. He just wanted to insert some steel plates inside his clothing to protect vital areas. For example, the chest, back, forearms, and lower legs.

To make these things, Wang Tao spent a full three days before finally deeming them passably adequate.

I m really not cut out for design work…”

It wasn’t that Wang Tao’s skills were lacking; mainly, a lot of time was wasted on testing. After all, this was something he was designing for himself, so he had to test over and over again if it was suitable or not. He couldn’t sacrifice his mobility for defense, or else it would be a loss.

Fortunately, after three days of modifications, it was more or less complete.

After integrating all these steel plates into his clothes, Wang Tao felt their weight, which was slightly significant, but it wasn’t a big deal for him. His current carrying capacity was extremely exaggerated, so this weight was trivial.

These steel plates were much thinner than books, but their defensive power had increased by countless levels. Once Wang Tao put them on, one could hardly tell that his clothes concealed steel plates.

Before, he would only use the parts of his body wrapped with books to make contact with zombies when forced into a tight spot. But now, he guessed he could directly stick his arm into a zombie’s mouth. With the zombies’ dental Strength, if they dared to bite down, they might just break all their teeth…

I m going out this afternoon,” Wang Tao said to Ding Yuqin.

“Where to?”

Although Ding Yuqin trusted Wang Tao’s abilities, each time he mentioned going out, she was anxious.

■Tm going to check out North Street; there’s a convenience store there. 1 saw with the binoculars, there are still supplies inside.”

North Street was just north of the Happy Community where Wang Tao lived It was a place with large pedestrian traffic, many zombies, abandoned vehicles, and had experienced a gas explosion.

Wang Tao had never dared travel through there when he went to collect airdrops before.

But now, he had significantly increased in strength and could afford to take a look.

Even though they had many supplies at home, Wang Tao was always one to prepare for the worst. After all, this was the post-apocalypse; there could never be too many supplies.

Plus, Wang Tao still needed to kill zombies to increase his HP!

“You be careful…”

“Mhm.”

After a simple lunch, Wang Tao armed himself fully, put on the skull mask made by Ding Yuqin, and left Happy Community..
