Chapter 157 - 104 Obsession, This Works?_2
Three small survivor forces had their eyes on that airdrop, none of them wanted to give up, so they decided to settle it by the law of the post-apocalyptic world, by force.
In the midst of the fight, suddenly an elite jumping zombie appeared, it leapt upon the building and killed two survivors!
Everyone had to scatter and didn’t even have the time to grab the last box of inhibitors.
After killing the survivors, the zombie didn’t chase after the others but dragged the bodies away to enjoy its meal, otherwise Wu Fei might not have made it back.
“Zombies that can jump very high…”
It was another new breed, Wang Tao silently noted.
“It’s a pity about the last box of inhibitors… Alas!”
Wu Fei looked pained.
Wang Tao didn’t mention that he had gotten the box of inhibitors. Looking at
Wu Fei, or more precisely, at Wu Fei’s HP, he asked with some curiosity,
“Since you left the water plant, have you had any… um, special changes?”
The reason Wang Tao had gotten out of the car to find Wu Fei, besides being an old acquaintance, was also an important one – Wu Fei’s data was different from others.
[220/260]
[100/100]
[Internal Impurity: 28%]
An increase in Wu Fei’s HP was normal; after all, he had survived this long in the post-apocalyptic world, it wasn’t possible that he hadn’t killed any zombies.
But the increase in Mana was beyond Wang Tao’s expectations; Wu Fei was an Ability User!
Of course, Ability Users were not that unusual, if you were lucky enough to get a common Zombie Core, you could succeed.
What Wang Tao was more curious about was the level of internal impurity in Wu Fei, which had reached 28%!
He had seen others with internal impurity before, all at 0%, which must have been rounded from a fraction, indicating very little impurity.
But the amount of impurity inside Wu Fei was frightening!
How many Zombie Cores did he have to fuse?
Was Wu Fei that wealthy? He didn’t seem like it, given he only had 100 Mana. It couldn’t be that he was so unlucky that he failed to fuse the cores every time, could it?
Wang Tao needed to clarify how exactly Wu Fei got so much impurity inside him because too much impurity could turn one into a zombie!
“Special changes… I don’t think I have any special changes!”
Wu Fei frowned.
“But the zombie virus inside me has acted up a few times…”
Speaking of the zombie virus, Wu Fei’s eyes showed some fear.
“Hmm? Did you get inhibitors at that time?”
Wang Tao was surprised.
But Wu Fei shook his head.
“No, I toughed it out.”
Good grief, he had toughed out the virus outbreak?
Seeing the shock in Wang Tao’s eyes, Wu Fei somewhat sheepishly scratched his head.
“I don’t know how to explain, but ever since I took the inhibitor you gave me, I felt like I could withstand the zombie virus outbreaks… and you know what, every time I got through it, I felt that I got stronger!”
Wu Fei somewhat intentionally flexed his biceps, but he was thin, and there weren’t any noticeable muscles on his arms.
“You mean, every time you toughed it out, you got stronger?”
“Yeah, it feels just like getting stronger from killing zombies! I even thought about toughing it out a few more times to boost my strength…”
As he said this, Wu Fei shook his head again, a look of deep fear crossing his face.
“But… that feeling is indeed very painful! Ten times more painful than taking inhibitors! Each time, I felt like I was going to die… If I didn’t have reasons for not dying, I really think I might have turned into a zombie! After arriving at Sunshine Kindergarten, I found out that they had inhibitors, and the principal kindly gave me a few bottles, so I didn’t have to tough it out anymore…”
Wang Tao looked at Wu Fei, a hint of pity in his gaze.
If Wang Tao guessed it right, the reason Wu Fei felt stronger was that he had moved one step closer to becoming a zombie!
How could a zombie’s strength not be strong?
The virus was so terrifying, it definitely wasn’t possible to just tough it out, and even if one did, there would be a corresponding price to pay. Wu Fei’s price might be the gradual zombification of his body!
Although it wasn’t apparent just from looking at his appearance, inside, he might have already started changing. After all, the attribute of internal impurity couldn’t be faked.
“Do you know why you feel stronger after toughing out the zombie virus?”
Wang Tao suddenly asked.
He thought Wu Fei hadn’t considered this, but to his surprise, Wu Fei nodded, nonchalantly saying,
“I know, it’s because I’ve gotten a step closer to becoming a zombie…”
“Actually, I’m afraid of the process of turning into a zombie—because the outbreak is just too painful. But I’m not afraid of becoming a zombie. It’s just… sigh, I still have some unfulfilled wishes, and I don’t want to turn into a zombie like this!”
Wu Fei gazed down at Sunshine Kindergarten below, his expression showing signs of weariness.
After a moment of silence, Wang Tao said,
“Your wish is… revenge?”
Wu Fei nodded.
“Yes, revenge. It was Ou Yingying who made me like this, despite how well I treated her before… This vengeance, I must exact myself!”
His eyes were filled with deep hatred.
“Perhaps, I can help you,”
Wang Tao suggested again.
To him, both Wu Fei and Ou Yingying were strangers. He had no personal connections to either of them. But he disliked Ou Yingying’s actions and felt some sympathy for Wu Fei, so he was willing to lend a hand to Wu Fei.
But Wu Fei refused.
“Your help? You mean to say that bitch is in Shuize Base, right? That’s important information for me! But no need to help. She pushed me over with her own hands; I must take my revenge personally..”
