Chapter 88 - 81 Rush Right Arm_3
Suicide Bombing Zombies are easy to deal with; you don’t even need to get close to them. As long as you can attract their attention from a distance, they’ll self-detonate within a few seconds.
Though this won’t increase my HP limit, having a Zombie Core is enough!
However, after pondering for over ten seconds, Wang Tao still shook his head.
“Forget it, there are too many zombies around. Even if it self-detonates, I might not have a chance to pick up its Crystal Core. Forcing my way to get it would be too dangerous and not worth the risk, especially since there could be Crazy Zombies hiding somewhere…”
Whirr-
The moment Wang Tao stepped on the accelerator, he decisively left the area.
After circling around two streets, Wang Tao found a more suitable place.
It was a small plaza with dozens of zombies roaming about, all of them elderly zombies.
Wang Tao parked the car outside the plaza and then got out with a Firefighter
Axe in hand.
Bang!
[-500]
Bang!
[-500]
It must be said that the axe is more energy-efficient than a hammer. When he used the hammer, it was all about smashing open the zombies’ skulls with brute force, but with the axe, he didn’t need as much power to still blow their heads off.
These Ordinary Zombies were no match for Wang Tao, especially since the rain had greatly affected their senses, and some didn’t even notice Wang Tao approaching.
Soon, Wang Tao had dealt with all the dozens of zombies on the plaza.
“Phew—”
Wang Tao took a deep breath; swinging the axe so many times was somewhat exhausting.
Looking at the corpses of zombies scattered all around, a smile appeared beneath Wang Tao’s skull mask.
This time his luck was neither good nor bad. After killing so many zombies, he finally had all the materials he needed.
Wang Tao looked up and surveyed the surrounding buildings.
“Hm? This is a shopping mall…”
He hadn’t paid much attention before, but now he realized there was an old three-story shopping mall next to the plaza.
“Since I’m here, I might as well take a look. Just the first floor, I won’t go up…”
Wang Tao remembered that this mall seemed to focus on selling clothes, and since he always bought his clothes online, he had never visited this place.
However, a mall is still a mall, and besides clothes, there are bound to be some restaurants and supermarkets. There should be quite a bit of food inside.
Scavenging resources wasn’t the main objective today, but since he was here, he might as well take advantage of the opportunity. He could also make this Rush Arm Guard and then contact Ding Yuqin.
On the top floor of the mall, inside a room,
a young man peering out through the Venetian blinds immediately turned
around and addressed three people playing cards:
“Boss, that big guy is heading our way!”
The one he called Boss was a burly man with a bald head inked with a black dragon tattoo, his upper body bare.
The tattooed bald man turned his head upon hearing the subordinate’s words, his face covered with meaty folds.
“He’s actually coming over…”
He furrowed his sparse eyebrows, feeling inexplicably irritable.
“Boss, do you think he’s discovered us?”
Another lackey quickly asked.
“Impossible, we’ve blocked all the windows tightly, he can’t possibly see us!”
The tattooed bald man shook his head.
“So, should we…?”
Another lackey made a throat-slitting gesture.
The bald man hadn’t spoken when the third lackey quickly objected.
“Did you not see how powerful that guy is? He can kill zombies in seconds! All of us combined aren’t a match for him!’
“But… but we have guns—”
Bang!
The lackey hadn’t finished his sentence when the bald man kicked him.
Clatter—
The lackey was sent flying, scattering cards all over the table.
The bald man emotionlessly tossed aside the “3, 4, 6” in his hand and then glared fiercely at the lackey.
“You fucking stupid, you dare to use a gun here? Have you forgotten what happened here before? Are you itching to die that quickly?”
“I’m sorry boss!”
The sent flying lackey, as if remembering something terrifying, quickly knelt in front of the bald man, holding his stomach and apologizing. The other lackeys instantly fell silent as if they were struck by frost.
The bald man stood up and snorted coldly,
“You guys go and hide our stuff; in case this guy comes up, don’t let him find
it…”
“Yes!”
The lackeys hurried away.
The bald man pulled out the pistol tucked behind his back; he had intended to store it in a cabinet but changed his mind and kept it at his waist, though he covered it with a jacket.
“I hope you’re a sensible man; otherwise… don’t blame me for not being polite!”
A ruthless expression appeared on the bald man s face.
Wang Tao entered the mall cautiously.
Although it was an old mall and looked dilapidated, the lighting was surprisingly good. Even on a rainy day, it was possible to clearly see the condition inside the mall.
But after seeing the situation inside, Wang Tao frowned.
It was too messy!
This kind of chaos didn’t seem like the disorder caused by humans due to a disaster, but rather as if a monster had come, bringing massive destruction to the mall.
The shops on the first floor were basically all damaged; either collapsed or blocked by debris, and Wang Tao even saw several damaged stone bollards in the center of the mall.
If he remembered correctly, those were used in squares to separate pedestrians from traffic, weighing two to three hundred pounds each. Even in a panicked escape, those bollards wouldn’t normally end up inside a mall, would they? “Could there have been some special zombie here…
Wang Tao felt somewhat nervous. He suddenly thought that it would be nice to have Han Rui here to help scout for hidden zombies in the vicinity.
After a brief check, Wang Tao didn’t find any danger, but he remained vigilant. “The stairs to the upper floors are intact, but forget it, I’ll just stay on the first floor.”
Wang Tao decided not to go up. Although messy, the first floor lacked resources to scavenge, but at least he would be able to run in case of danger. If something hazardous occurred upstairs, it would be difficult to escape.
In the end, Wang Tao found a relatively intact small room filled with various clothes. There were no blood stains or signs of struggle; it seemed relatively safe.
After entering and checking the room again, confirming there was no danger, Wang Tao finally took out the Rush Right Arm Blueprint and the necessary materials.
[Rush Right Arm Blueprint (Forgeable)]
Confirm creation!
With a thought, the materials turned into streams of light and melded into the blueprint.
But this time there was no countdown. In the blink of an eye, a black arm guard appeared in Wang Tao’s hand.
