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

Wang Tao once thought Xu Xiaojun was a fool.

But after listening to Xu Xiaojun recount his experiences, he realized that Xu Xiaojun was not a fool but someone with a heart of gold!

When Eldest Lu’s father gave Xu Xiaojun a pancake that saved his life, Xu Xiaojun dedicated his life to repaying the entire camp!

Xu Xiaojun didn’t know how to manage the camp, but he helped in his own way, doing everything he could for the camp.

Even when abandoned and slandered, Xu Xiaojun never forgot his promise to Uncle Lu.

To the uninformed, Xu Xiaojun seemed like a fool, but only he knew that he was merely fulfilling his vow.

…

Wang Tao patted Xu Xiaojun on the shoulder.

“Well done!”

Wang Tao admitted to himself that he could not do this; while he also believed in repaying kindness, if someone failed to appreciate his efforts, he would not indulge them.

So Wang Tao admired Xu Xiaojun, who was able to maintain such a pure heart in the apocalypse… It was truly rare.

“Have you thought about where you’ll go from here?”

Wang Tao asked.

“I, I don’t know…”

Xu Xiaojun said, his head lowered.

His home was gone when the virus broke out, the camp had become his second home, but now that too was gone.

“Then you’ll follow me from now on.”

Wang Tao suddenly said with a smile.

Xu Xiaojun looked up suddenly, then said uneasily,

“…I, I can’t do anything. I’m too weak and will only hold you back…”

In truth, he wanted to follow Wang Tao. Because Wang Tao was kind, and also strong.

But he knew his own limitations; his strength was nothing compared to Wang Tao’s, and he would just be a drag.

“Weakness can be improved. When I make friends, I never look at their strength. After all, no one is as strong as me. What I care about is their character.”

Wang Tao’s smile was radiant. It seemed like he was showing off, but he also indirectly complimented Xu Xiaojun.

“I…”

Xu Xiaojun’s face showed excitement, but he remained nervous.

“Let’s settle on that then,” Wang Tao said, patting Xu Xiaojun on the shoulder. “I have a big task coming up in the next couple of days. Rest well.”

“Yes!”

Xu Xiaojun snapped to attention unconsciously.

…

The big task Wang Tao had in mind was to hunt down a Level 3 Blood-colored Zombie!

After all, this Level 3 zombie had a weakness to light, and currently, there was only one zombie in the nest, with the other two temporarily absent. So Wang Tao needed to act quickly.

He had planned to research for a few more days, but decided to take action that afternoon!

If he delayed any further, the other two Level 3 Blood-colored Zombies might return to the nest, making them much harder to deal with.

For dealing with this zombie, Wang Tao came up with three plans.

The first plan was the simplest: lure it out by the entrance of its lair, see how much the sunlight would weaken its strength.

Of course, it might not come out since Eldest Lu had already tried luring it before.

So the second plan was to attack it.

Wang Tao felt this kind of zombie must possess some intelligence, since they could cooperate in hunting.

And a creature with some intelligence should be able to be guided by emotion, that is to say, can be angered.

As long as he could anger it, he should be able to lure it out… Wang Tao thought this plan had the highest chance of success.

And the third plan was more brutal: simply blow up the grain storage!

Wang Tao had plenty of Self-Destruct Bombs on hand, blowing up a grain storage was no big deal. However, it would create too much noise, and nobody knew what dangers it might attract. So this was a backup plan, one that Wang Tao hoped he wouldn’t need to use.

“Let’s make a trip to Fish Bay Camp!”

Wang Tao took Jiang Shixue and Xu Xiaojun, once again heading to Fish Bay Camp.

Since they were looking to lure the Level 3 zombie, relying on noise and human scent alone might not be enough. Wang Tao thought some blood smell would be best.

When the virus erupted, not only humans suffered; animals were also unlucky. Especially those that were captive; most were eaten by zombies.

As for the condition of wild animals, Wang Tao did not know as he hadn’t seen any so far.

So finding fresh meat was now very difficult.

But no worries, if there was no meat, fish would do.

Fish Bay Camp was located by a lake, which was full of fish. And these fish might have mutated, not only growing to an exaggerated size but also becoming man-eaters.

According to Xu Xiaojun, despite growing bigger, these fish still looked like regular fish and had not turned into Zombie Fish. So Wang Tao figured this fresh flesh would likely attract the zombies.

The current Fish Bay Camp was a charred ruin, with the surrounding wire fences also destroyed.

Wang Tao found a relatively thick steel pipe, then tied it to the head of the pipe with a hemp rope, using a mineral water bottle in the middle of the rope as a float. On the other end of the rope, he used a large iron hook, which had a burnt bone hanging on it, picked up from the ruins, whether it was human or zombie he didn’t know; he just thought of it as recycling.

Once ready, Wang Tao lifted the makeshift fishing rod with both hands and threw it mightily into the lake.

Whoosh—

The iron hook with the large bone plunged into the lake.

Wang Tao didn’t really know how to fish, but he liked fishing. Before the apocalypse, he often watched live streams or short videos about fishing.

As for why he didn’t fish himself, of course, it was because he didn’t have the time…

Now, it seemed his wish was fulfilled; he could fish here as long as he wanted, without anyone calling him to go to work…
