Chapter 313: 156 Best of Luck_2
Suddenly, Wang Tao felt that everything before his eyes had changed.
There were no streets, no shadows, nor zombies and survivors, and Jiang Shixue was also gone.
He was in a familiar air-conditioned room playing computer games, with a girl bringing him chunks of chilled watermelon. After feeding him a few pieces, she silently massaged his shoulders and legs…
What a beautiful scene, but it was too fake—the girl beside him was a two-dimensional paper figure…
Wang Tao sighed and then said,
“I’ll give you something, help me smash it directly at that monster!”
After speaking, a basketball-sized heart appeared in Wang Tao’s hand. It was a Self-Destruct Bomb.
Jiang Shixue had said before that the Black Mist Monster hated water and noise, and this thing was loud enough!
After the Self-Destruct Bomb appeared, it began to expand, looking like it was about to explode.
Then Wang Tao realized the Self-Destruct Bomb in his hand was gone.
And then there was a bang.
Wang Tao saw the scene before him shatter like a mirror—Jiang Shixue was sprinting with him, and they had crossed beyond that shadow!
The HP of the Black Mist Monster had changed!
[34995/35000]
It had lost 5 HP!
In an instant, Wang Tao felt his hair standing on end, with the red-glowing eyes in the black mist staring intently at him.
Wang Tao felt like it had gotten angry!
Getting angry was good!
“Hurry up!”
Wang Tao turned his hand and grabbed Jiang Shixue’s arm, then activated the Rush Ability equipped on his gear.
Whoosh—
In an instant, they moved forward over thirty meters.
As soon as they had sprinted away, the mass of black mist soundlessly appeared where they had just been.
“Teleport?”
Wang Tao hadn’t seen how the other moved. To him, it seemed like teleportation!
However, this Black Mist Monster only used that ability comparable to teleportation once. Afterwards, it chased Wang Tao like a huge black cloud gliding across the ground.
Although the mass of black mist looked light and fluttery, its speed was extremely fast. Wang Tao exerted all his strength, but not only could he not widen the gap, it was actually closing in.
Wang Tao looked back and saw Wei Zhenguo’s car slowly driving away, which made Wang Tao grin.
His goal was to attract the Black Mist Monster to allow Wei Zhenguo and the others to leave safely. The longer he attracted it, the greater their chances of getting away.
Wang Tao’s goal was a third of the way met. Now, he had two tasks left—attract it for a sufficient length of time and figure out a way to shake off the Black Mist Monster!
…
Wang Tao discovered that Jiang Shixue could run even better than him.
Initially, it had been Wang Tao dragging Jiang Shixue along, but when he began to gasp for air, it was Jiang Shixue who led the run. And Jiang Shixue was faster than him, without panting for breath! If it weren’t for Jiang Shixue, they might have been caught up to!
Feeling the cold temperature of Jiang Shixue’s palm, Wang Tao knew that she might soon turn into a zombie…
After the distance between the Black Mist Monster and Wang Tao had closed once again, Wang Tao’s vision blurred and he found himself on a filming set, with the director telling him to get ready for his next scene. Unfortunately, this director was headless.
Without a word, Wang Tao took out another Self-Destruct Bomb.
“Blow it up!”
The bomb disappeared in an instant.
Boom—
With a loud bang, the scene shattered, and Wang Tao returned to reality.
At the same time, Wang Tao felt an intense killing intent so palpable it was almost tangible!
He quickly turned around and saw that the Black Mist Monster had lost another 5 HP.
“This defensive power is really damn strong!” Wang Tao internally exclaimed. A Self-Destruct Bomb that could blow a Level Two Zombie to pieces or even kill it could only inflict 5 HP of damage to it…
But after being hit by the bomb, the Black Mist Monster’s speed had slowed down a lot, and it temporarily couldn’t catch up to the two of them.
After persisting for a while, Wang Tao felt that Wei Zhenguo and the others must have gotten far away. So a Self-Destruct Bomb appeared in his hand, which he tossed casually.
Boom—
As the bomb exploded, another appeared in Wang Tao’s hand.
Boom—
Boom—
Countless Self-Destruct Bombs were thrown by Wang Tao, rousing nearly every zombie in the county with the explosions.
Jiang Shixue turned her head, her eyes glowing red and staring fiercely at Wang Tao. Wang Tao felt he could read from her eyes emotions named anger and frustration.
Zombies were sensitive to sound, and given Jiang Shixue’s current state, she was probably not much different from a zombie. Wang Tao could sense that she seemed to be holding back her anger.
“There’s no way around it. Who would’ve thought this monster also hates noise? Without creating chaos, we can’t escape,” explained Wang Tao as he continued throwing bombs.
Boom—
Boom—
Having run for who knew how long, the two of them returned to Shuize Base.
Seeing the big river behind Shuize Base, Wang Tao’s face lit up with joy. He was about to speak when suddenly, everything went dark in front of him, and a mass of black mist appeared!
Wang Tao’s scalp tingled. He could see clearly that this time it wasn’t an illusion; they had run into the Black Mist Monster!
Normally, as soon as the monster approached, Wang Tao would enter into hallucinations. Since Jiang Shixue wasn’t affected by the hallucinations, he had her throw the bomb. As soon as the Black Mist Monster was affected, Wang Tao would be snapped back to reality.
So, whenever Wang Tao felt himself entering into an illusion, he knew the Black Mist Monster was upon them.
But now, the monster wasn’t using illusions anymore; instead, it directly used that ability similar to teleportation and instantly appeared right in front of Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue. They hadn’t even reacted before they ran headlong into it.
