BXBX NOVEL Chapter 227 - 127 Killed Twice_3
(-204]
[0/4110]
Shao Yong’s HP hit zero, instantly killed.
Wang Tao conveniently picked up the package Shao Yong dropped—within three meters, Wang Tao could collect the spoils of war.
But the others were somewhat flabbergasted.
“Wang Tao, you…”
Weren’t we supposed to take Shao Yong back for interrogation and then execute him in front of the survivors? Why did you suddenly kill him?
“He was turning into a zombie—fuck!”
Wang Tao was about to explain when, before he could finish his sentence, he saw the dead Shao Yong suddenly lift his head.
“Roar ”
With a furious roar, its muscles swelled, and black veins covered its face and neck. Then, with a bang, the hardened white slime on its body shattered instantly.
Whoosh
The impact threw everyone into the air, slamming them against the wall.
“Hehe…”
Shao Yong stood up, licked its elongated tongue, and emitted a chilling growl from its mouth.
“What the hell!”
The crowd was horrified.
Shao Yong had turned into a zombie!
And this zombie was clearly stronger than Shao Yong had been in life!
“Didn’t I shoot him in the head? How could this be ”
Wang Tao could barely believe it, but when he saw the HP bar of zombie Shao Yong, he was taken aback.
[404/5000]
After turning into a zombie, Shao Yong’s maximum HP rose to 5000! But he was critically wounded!
Shao Yong, with its one remaining eye, glared fiercely at Wang Tao, as if it retained some memories from its life.
It was when Wang Tao saw Shao Yong’s face, especially the surgical knife sticking out of Shao Yong’s left eye socked that an idea flashed through Wang Tao’s mind.
“Could it be… the surgical knife was thrust into Shao Yong’s brain but not all the way through? ”
Dead people can become zombies, but as long as the brain is destroyed, they won’t turn into zombies. Although the principle is unknown, that is the reality. Previously, when Wang Tao saw Shao Yong’s HP bar flashing continuously, he speculated that Shao Yong might turn into a zombie. In a panic, Wang Tao instantly activated his Precision Shooting skill, then took out a surgical knife from his Space Backpack and threw it, successfully piercing Shao Yong’s eye socket and killing Shao Yong.
Only, this injury could kill Shao Yong the human, but not Shao Yong the zombie!
Hence Shao Yong became a zombie again.
But since the surgical knife penetrated the brain, it might have damaged Shao Yong’s brain, which led to Shao Yong becoming a critically wounded zombie!
It’s well-known, the brain is the zombie’s core. A zombie can live with just a head. So it makes sense for Shao Yong, a zombie with a damaged brain, to be critically wounded!
Wang Tao had many thoughts flash through his mind, but in reality, it was all in an instant.
Zombie Shao Yong, now over two meters tall, lowered its head to look at Wang Tao, and then it suddenly opened its mouth, its elongated tongue shooting toward Wang Tao like a sword.
Bang!
Wang Tao chopped at zombie Shao Yong’s tongue with his axe once again.

[358/5000]
The tongue quickly retracted.
“Never learns!”
Wang Tao, looking at zombie Shao Yong, suddenly cracked a smile.
Just a zombie with 5000 HP, what’s the big deal!
Zombie Shao Yong, as if it knew Wang Tao was not to be trifled with, or perhaps recalling some residual memory, suddenly turned and ran outside.
“Don’t let it get away! It’s badly injured!”
Wang Tao roared and immediately gave chase.
The crowd had just been frightened by zombie Shao Yong; after all, they had never seen a zombie break free from Slime Spit!
Especially with zombie Shao Yong’s size having expanded, and its considerable increase in height, it looked terrifying.
The unknown is always scary. Shao Yong was strong to begin with, but only because it was injured were they able to take it down easily. But as a zombie, injured or not, it made no difference. Which is why everyone was a bit worried.
However, after seeing Zombie Shao Yong exchange blows with Wang Tao before fleeing, and hearing that Wang Tao said Zombie Shao Yong was seriously injured, the group immediately got fired up!
An Elite Zombie with low HP? They definitely had to chase it down!
Zombie Shao Yong ran downstairs, with Wang Tao closely pursuing him, and the others chasing Wang Tao.
When Zombie Shao Yong reached the third floor, he suddenly charged towards a window.
Crash
He shattered the glass and security bars, falling straight to the ground below.
Wang Tao didn’t even think; he just jumped out after him.
With Wang Tao’s physical condition, jumping down from the third floor was basically no problem.
Zombie Shao Yong smashed into the ground, creating a crater. He rolled, dissipating some of the impact, then, as if sensing something, suddenly turned its head, only to see a dark shadow landing squarely on its own.
Squish!
[-358]
[0/5000]
Thud
The massive body of Zombie Shao Yong crashed to the ground.
“Huff– Huff ”
Wang Tao got off Zombie Shao Yong’s body and took a deep breath.
That thing could really run; he almost didn’t catch it. Luckily, he managed a one-hit kill with a Precise Airdrop in the end.
However, after killing Zombie Shao Yong, Wang Tao suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him.
Only then did he realize, after the fact, that his HP had exceeded four thousand?
Since Shao Yong was dealt with, Wang Tao could sleep peacefully, but he suddenly thought of the Rejuvenation Potion.
“Why not give it a try, see if it works for the drowsiness after the HP increase?”
So, Wang Tao used a Rejuvenation Potion.
Instantly, he felt full of energy and no longer sleepy!
“Huh, the potion actually worked!”
Wang Tao seemed to have discovered a new use for the Rejuvenation Potion…
By the time Wei Zhen Guo and the others caught up, Wang Tao had already collected the spoils of war.
“Is it dead?”
Looking at Wang Tao sitting next to the burly zombie’s corpse, Feng Ming’an asked instinctively.
“It’s dead.”
Wang Tao stood up. The potion was really effective; he wasn’t sleepy at all.
“Awesome!”
Xiang Hong Bin gave a thumbs up.
He didn’t know how much HP Zombie Shao Yong had, he only knew that the zombie was tough, but still, Wang Tao had slain it!
“So impressive!”
The others too looked at Wang Tao with faces full of admiration, especially Han Rui, who practically worshiped him.
But there wasn’t much joy on Wang Tao’s face.
“What’s wrong?”
Wei Zhen Guo noticed Wang Tao’s expression was off and asked with some curiosity.
Wang Tao’s face was very serious.
“This time we were lucky, otherwise… we might have lost people!”
“Ah? Was it really that strong?”
Xiang Hong Bin was somewhat incredulous. After all, nobody had been seriously injured, except for a minor injury to himself. It looked like a great victory!
Wang Tao shook his head and then took out a dark green crystal core.
“It was a Level 2 Zombie!”
[Level 2 Crystal Core – Super Strength]
[Quality: Rare (55%)]
