Chapter 172 - 109: Hunting Zombies, Discovering a Camp_2
“You stay in the car and be ready to pick me up at any moment,”
Wang Tao got out of the car.
“Okay!”
Han Rui immediately got into the driver’s seat.
After assessing the situation, Wang Tao took the hand crossbow and cleared a wave of ordinary zombies outside the alley.
I have to say, using a hand crossbow is just satisfying; with one arrow for each, the zombies simply couldn’t react in time.
After cleaning up the zombies, Wang Tao quickly went to collect the crossbow arrows. He really was a thrifty and housekeeping good man.
Then Wang Tao climbed onto the roof and, after locating the suicide bombing zombies, he did not dare to get too close. Thinking it was about right, he took out a slime grenade.
After aiming at the approximate location, Wang Tao threw it down.
pia
The slime grenade landed between two elite zombies and exploded instantly.
Plop
A big glob of white slime burst from the grenade, instantly covering everything within a four to five-meter radius.
The two elite zombies, along with the dozen or more ordinary ones around them, were all covered in white slime, completely immobilized. The self-exploders couldn’t even expand their bodies for detonation!
“The explosion of the slime grenade didn’t make much noise, and it glued them all in place! Effective!”
Seeing this, Wang Tao immediately felt overjoyed.
He waited for about ten seconds, then with axe in hand, he leaped down from the rooftop.
During the first five seconds upon contact, the slime was at its stickiest, but after five seconds, the exposed slime began to gradually solidify and turn solid. Although the things it stuck to remained immobile, the surface of the slime lost its stickiness, so Wang Tao didn’t have to worry about getting stuck to it when he came down now.
Thud!
Wang Tao landed right on the shoulder of a chubby zombie and with a forceful swing, his axe struck squarely on its head.
Squish!
[-2143]
[357/2500]
That strike nearly cleaved the zombie to death!
Even if it didn’t die, it was left with just a sliver of HP.
“Such low defense?”
Wang Tao swung another axe, instantly clearing the HP bar.
[-357]
[0/2500]
After killing the elite zombie, Wang Tao didn’t even have time to look closer; he immediately leapt beside the self-exploder.
As he swung his axe, a shockwave emanated from its center, spreading out in all directions.
[-2329]
[-1000]
[-1000]
[-1000]
[???]
True to their low defense, the self-exploders took a shocking 2300 damage from just one swing of Wang Tao’s axe!
Without hesitation, he swung another axe.
Squish!
[-674]
[0/3000]
With the self-exploding zombie dealt with, the shockwave eliminated the remaining ordinary zombies. Wang Tao gathered all the loot and immediately ran.
Han Rui had driven the car a short distance away; the door was already open.
Wang Tao quickly got in.
“Go, go, go!”
Zheng zheng-
Han Rui pressed the accelerator, and the car sped away.
After about three minutes, a loud “boom” could be heard in the distance.
“The suicide bombing zombie exploded.”
Wang Tao nodded silently to himself, quite satisfied with the effect of the slime grenade – it trapped the suicide bombing zombie for three minutes, which was more than enough time for him to get far away.
“Your slime grenade is so awesome!”
Han Rui had been keeping an eye on the whole process and was naturally amazed by the effect of the slime grenade.
As for the fact that Wang Tao nearly instantly killed those two elite zombies, Han Rui found it not surprising at all. After all, she herself had chances to kill elite zombies in seconds, so it was only natural for Wang Tao to do so.
She couldn’t see the HP bars, so naturally, she didn’t know how much HP those zombies had when Wang Tao killed them.
But then again, Wang Tao felt that the defenses of those two elite zombies were very low.
The damage he used to inflict with one axe swing on a Terrorizer was around four to five hundred HP. With his strength improved, he should be doing more damage now, but not by a large amount.
Yet those two zombies took over two thousand damage from each of his axe swings!
Even considering the high-ground attack bonus, the damage shouldn’t have been that high – clearly, the defense of those zombies was a lot lower.
Wang Tao asked Han Rui to keep driving and searching for zombies while he checked the loot from the battle.
The two zombies together gave Wang Tao a total of 60 HP increase, meaning a total addition of 120 HP. Wang Tao’s HP was now at [1460/1460].
Then there were the other spoils of war.
[Level 1 Crystal Core ? Self-Detonation]
[Quality: Ordinary (20%)]
[Purity: 50% (Side effects: None)]
The Crystal Core dropped by the suicide bombing zombie was of ordinary quality; not the best luck.
However, the Crystal Core from the self-exploder wasn’t the main point; the main thing was the loot bundle the self-exploder dropped.
Although Wang Tao had acquired several Self-Destruct Crystal Cores, this was his first time killing a self-exploder, and he was curious about what they would drop.
[Acquired: Self-Destruct Bomb Blueprint xi]
[Acquired: Self-Destruct Heart xi]
[Acquired: Self-Destruct Bomb X5]
The self-exploding zombie dropped three items that all looked a bit wicked.
Wang Tao looked at the specifics.
[Self-Destruct Bomb Blueprint: Can be used to craft 10 Self-Destruct Bombs, Required materials: Self-Destruct Heart xi, Crystal Core xi, Flesh xiokg, Metal X5kg]
[Self-Destruct Heart: Crafting material]
[Self-Destruct Bomb: A biological bomb with extremely poor stability. Once activated, it will explode within an hour if noise, vibration, or physical contact occurs. If it does not explode, it will automatically detonate after one hour.]
Seeing the attributes of this Self-Destruct Bomb, Wang Tao exclaimed in amazement.
This thing seems to have a disregard for friend or foe! Anything could trigger an explosion, not unlike the suicide bombing zombies that would explode as soon as they were disturbed..
