Chapter 284 - 146: Heavy Casualties (Seeking monthly passes at month’s end)_3
That Ding Yuqin was still alive didn’t surprise Wang Tao; after all, he had taken
Ding Yuqin to kill quite a few zombies, and now she also had over four thousand
HP.
What surprised Wang Tao was that Li Qiuyu was also still alive. The two of them were hugging each other, nestled within a few thick blankets.
However, Li Qiuyu1 s HP bar of too had just 10 drops of blood left, giving the feeling that if he had come a little later, she might have cooled forever.
Wang Tao woke the two of them and used a medical pack on each.
“Wang Tao…”
When Ding Yuqin woke up and saw herself in Wang Tao’s arms, she thought she was dreaming. After realizing it was real, she immediately buried her head in Wang Tao’s chest, her eyes brimming with tears.
“I thought I’d never see you again…”
“It’s safe now, we’re all right.”
Wang Tao gently patted Ding Yuqin’s back.
Li Qiuyu’s complexion was pale, and her whole body trembling – she clearly hadn’t recovered from the terror yet.
Han Rui took the initiative to go over and hold Li Qiuyu.
“It’s okay, we’re safe now…”
“Wuuwuu…”
Li Qiuyu suddenly burst into tears.
Wang Tao went on to wake the others.
”Commissioner Wang…1‘
Huo Ziyi and her few girlfriends were lucky, they hadn’t died. Seeing Wang Tao, she instinctively rushed over to embrace him.
Wang Tao patted her back.
“It’s all right, everyone is safe now…”
“Wuuwuu…”
Huo Ziyi once again felt the sadness of being weak. Even though she hadn’t gone to fight, just staying at home she’d almost died!
If it weren’t for a quick-thinking girlfriend who had promptly found something to block their ears after the first roar of the gorilla zombie, they probably would have all died…
“Don’t be scared, just rest up a bit.”
Wang Tao let go of Huo Ziyi and went to check on the other survivors. Gao Hua and Chen Zhuang hadn’t died either, which was also good news for Wang Tao…
After spending some time, everyone in the complex building that could be woken up was. As for those who couldn’t be awakened… they would never wake up again.
Looking at the numbers on the compiled list, all of the commissioners, including Wang Tao, sighed.
Nobody had anticipated the roar of the gorilla zombie having such a wide range and killing power!
The survivors were still in the building, yet some unfortunate ones were directly killed by the sound, and others who didn’t die were knocked unconscious.
just yesterday, Shuize Base had a total of 712 people. After the gorilla zombie arrived last night, more than too people died directly, leaving less than 600 people-that was still because everyone had been on guard against the gorilla zombie and had made some preparations in advance, otherwise, more would have died.
Wei Zhenguo and the others had barely managed to gather the remaining survivors in this complex building, and with Wang Tao coming back, they thought the lives of the remaining survivors were secure.
But who could have thought that the gorilla zombie had such a terrifying area attack ability.
The first roar knocked many people unconscious, and the second roar killed more than 200 people instantly!
Now, the list in Wang Tao’s hand only had 303 people left… which means that in just one day, 409 survivors died!
Just a few days ago, Ren Jie was still saying that Shuize Base was getting stronger and stronger. And now, in just a few days, it was back to the number of people from when the base was first established…
“Damn zombies!”
Wei Zhenguo wiped the corner of his eye.
When the virus outbreak and the apocalypse came, he never shed a tear, since men do not lightly weep. But now, seeing the survivors they had worked so hard to save had lost their lives, he could no longer hold back.
“You should think this way – thank goodness Wang Tao killed the Gorilla zombie, otherwise our remaining three hundred people would’ve been dead…” Ren Jie sighed.
Speaking of the Gorilla zombie, everyone looked towards Wang Tao, they all wanted to know how Wang Tao killed the Gorilla zombie.
Seeing this, Wang Tao simply narrated the process from when the Gorilla zombie chased them to the Mud Swamp to its death.
Upon hearing that the seemingly doomed to be killed Gorilla zombie actually had another form, and restored itself to full HP, everyone was somewhat shocked.
“It’s a good thing you lured it away! If the fight had taken place downstairs… we would’ve all been goners!”
Liu He’s face turned a bit pale.
After all, Wang Tao had just mentioned that a roar from the second form of the Gorilla zombie practically knocked half-dead all the Ability Users, including Wei Zhenguo! Those two fat brothers with super high Defense and several Mud Superpower Users had their heads shattered directly by the impact!
If that thing had roared once below the complex building, they might’ve been wiped out in one fell swoop!
“Cough, so how did you kill the Gorilla zombie?
Feng Ming’an asked while coughing.
“When I was about to be killed by the Gorilla zombie, I encountered Wu Fei…” Wang Tao went into more detail about Wu Fei’s actions, this time explaining more thoroughly.
Although Wu Fei’s original intention was just to repay Wang Tao, and he didn t care about the others, he also indirectly saved the entire Shuize Base-Wu Fei was a hero of Shuize Base, and his name deserves to be remembered by everyone.
“A real man! It’s a pity I never got the chance to meet him…”
Xiang Hongbin clenched his fists, a hint of regret in his eyes.
“Right, did the Gorilla zombie drop an Ascension crystal core when you killed it?”
Wei Zhenguo hurriedly asked.
At that mention, a forced smile finally appeared on Wang Tao’s face.
“Ascension crystal core… Of course! Once my HP is restored, I feel I will be able to ascend to a Level 2 Ability User!”
“Great, great, great! The Gorilla zombie is dead, and you can ascend to Level 2 now, which means our Shuize Base is essentially safe!”
Upon hearing this, a relieved expression finally appeared on everyone’s faces. Wang Tao, however, was not as excited, after all, the cost of ascending to Level 2 was… too great!
“The pressing matter at hand is to quickly rebuild the base! The walls must be fortified…”
Wang Tao said with a serious expression.
To speak bluntly, most of those who died were the weak, and those who survived were strong. So in terms of rebuilding the base, although the number of people was reduced, the speed shouldn’t be too much slower…
“Right! You just focus on your Level 2 Ascension preparation without worries! Leave the rebuilding task to us!”
Ren Jie immediately spoke up.
“Exactly, just focus on your ascension…”
The others also echoed.
“Alright! Then I’ll leave it in your hands!”
Wang Tao nodded earnestly.
At night, the Mad Demon Zombies outside had not left yet.
In an office, bedsheets and cool mats were spread out on the floor.
Han Rui had already fallen asleep, consumed by fatigue, she fell to the floor and slept.
Ding Yuqin and Li Qiuyu lay together, chatting with each other.
Wang Tao was sitting on the side, silently checking the spoils of having killed two Level 2 Zombies.
