Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

It was as if the figure standing before him was no longer their camp’s guardian deity but a terrifying zombie.

Xu Xiaojun was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why this person was so wary of him; he hadn’t been infected with the zombie virus, had he?

Nevertheless, Xu Xiaojun didn’t say much. He was never much of a talker to begin with, and after what had happened, he talked even less.

The more silent he remained, the more pressure the guard felt, to the point where cold sweat started to appear on his forehead.

Who knows if it was a minute, or ten, or even longer… Finally, people from the camp came out, and not just a few but a whole crowd, as if the entire camp had come.

Seeing so many people, Xu Xiaojun’s face, for once, displayed a rare smile. These people were here to welcome him… right?

“You actually didn’t die? You still have the face to come back!”

“Why don’t you just die! You’ve killed so many of us, isn’t that enough, or do you want to kill the rest of us too by coming back?”

“My husband is dead, yet you’re still alive? Why didn’t you die!”

“Eldest Lu died because of you! Even if you’re alive, you should be living in disgrace! How dare you come back so brazenly!”

“You want to get us all killed at this base, don’t you!”

“…”

Listening to the cacophony of voices, Xu Xiaojun was dumbfounded. His mind couldn’t catch up with what was happening.

At this moment, Yu Wei, walking at the forefront, spoke up with a face filled with hatred:

“Xu Xiaojun, I can’t believe you’re still alive. But it’s not just about you being alive; how do you have the shame to come back here? If it weren’t for you, so many of us wouldn’t have died, and Eldest Lu wouldn’t have either! Tell me, how do you have the face to return!”

“Because I caused so many deaths?”

Xu Xiaojun understood this time, but he was still completely at a loss.

Their deaths had nothing to do with him, did they?

If anything, it was all related to Eldest Lu.

After all, it was Eldest Lu who gave the order. The first two who went down had already fallen silent, yet Eldest Lu thought there was no problem, and everyone trusted his sixth sense. That trust led to massive casualties…

What did that have to do with Xu Xiaojun? If he hadn’t risked his life to cover their retreat, probably none of them would have made it back alive…

“I…”

As Xu Xiaojun looked like he was about to say something, Tian Peng immediately spoke loudly, interrupting him.

“Xu Xiaojun, are you trying to argue that you have nothing to do with this? That it’s all Eldest Lu’s fault? Haha, you’re so naive. Do you think we’ll believe you? You think Eldest Lu’s death means there’s no one left to testify against you, is that it? But you didn’t expect us to still be alive! You wanted to feed us to the zombies so you could escape? Too bad, we were lucky enough to survive!”

“…”

What? He wanted to feed them to the zombies to save himself?

Xu Xiaojun felt like his CPU was overheating—wasn’t it him who embraced certain death so his teammates could survive?

Xu Xiaojun wasn’t articulate; he struggled to organize his thoughts, considering how to explain himself.

But his silence made everyone think he had admitted guilt.

In fact, there were still some who didn’t believe Xu Xiaojun could have done such a thing. After all, he was their protector, a genuinely nice guy. Whenever anyone had a problem, they’d ask Xu Xiaojun. When there was no food, they’d borrow from Xu Xiaojun, and he’d never refuse. Could such a good man have possibly done those things?

But when they saw Xu Xiaojun “agree” by his silence, they suddenly felt they had misjudged him!

“You can never judge a book by its cover!”

“Xu Xiaojun was only pretending before! In fact, he’s really dark-hearted! He gives you little favors, playing the nice guy, but when it comes to the crunch, he betrays his teammates!”

“We were almost duped by Xu Xiaojun!”

“…”

Abuse and scorn filled the air at once.

Xu Xiaojun lifted his head, watching these familiar faces grow increasingly alien. He had finally sorted out his words.

“Please believe me, I didn’t cause anyone’s death; I was covering the rear for everyone. If it wasn’t for me, none of you would have survived…”

These words caught Yu Wei and Tian Peng off guard for a moment.

How come Fatty was suddenly speaking so clearly?

They quickly pondered how to counter Xu Xiaojun’s statement.

However, at that moment, an ordinary survivor suddenly spoke up:

“Haha, and you still say it wasn’t you! Look, now you’re not even stuttering! That proves your stuttering was just a disguise too! If even something like stuttering was faked, then there’s no doubt about the rest! You scheming person, get out of our camp!”

Others, hearing this, found it made sense. So, everyone began to shout in unison:

“Get out of our camp!”

“Get out of our camp!”

“I didn’t, please listen to my explanation…”

“No need for explanations! Get out of our camp!”

“…”

Xu Xiaojun still wanted to continue explaining, but seeing these people, whom he had once helped, now looking at him with such hate and telling him to get lost… he instantly lost all desire to speak.

“Heh heh…”

Suddenly, several zombies’ shrieks echoed.

The noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

“There are zombies!”

A few ordinary zombies, as if attracted by the noise, staggered toward the entrance of Fish Bay Camp.

There were many obstacles between these people and Xu Xiaojun; if the gate wasn’t opened, the zombies wouldn’t get in. Yet many were frightened enough to start backing away.

Xu Xiaojun watched these people unwilling to give him a chance to explain, yet silenced by the screams of a few ordinary zombies… He suddenly found the irony overwhelming.
