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

He felt that his strength had greatly increased, his reaction speed had quickened, and he was no longer sleepy all of a sudden!

However, it was difficult to say exactly how much his strength had improved, this would only be known after testing, which clearly wasn’t appropriate at the moment.

Then, Wang Tao looked toward the last package, which contained two items. They were a “High Power Ultraviolet Flashlight x1” and “Small ultraviolet illumination flares x20.”

“High Power Ultraviolet Flashlight: Capable of emitting ultraviolet light, but due to its high power, the energy consumption is high, resulting in a relatively short duration. Energy can be replenished with batteries.”

This was a very ordinary-looking square flashlight, only the size of a palm. It didn’t seem to be associated with high power in any way. This flashlight used batteries, but not ordinary ones; instead, it ran on material batteries obtained from killing zombies.

Wang Tao aimed the flashlight into the darkness and switched it on.

Whoosh—

A large cluster of intense purple light instantly appeared on the ground before him.

“Wow! No wonder it’s called high-power. It’s so bright!”

But Wang Tao was puzzled, why a ultraviolet flashlight? Such purple light was uncomfortable to look at and seemed unsuitable for nighttime use…

However, after seeing the second item, Wang Tao understood why it was ultraviolet.

“Small ultraviolet illumination flare: After igniting, it can emit a strong ultraviolet light within a certain range for 25 seconds. The ultraviolet light can block or burn certain mutated zombies that fear ultraviolet light.”

“So the Blood-red Zombies are not scared of ordinary light, but ultraviolet light? No wonder when I shone the flashlight on it before, it didn’t react much, but when sunlight hit it, it turned to ash straight away…”

Only now did Wang Tao realize that the weakness of these Blood-red Zombies was actually ultraviolet light, and it had to be a large amount to be effective. Ordinary lights also emit ultraviolet light but far too little to affect them…

The Small ultraviolet illumination flares had a tubular shape, similar to signal flares. Overall, they were quite compact and could be carried around.

As for the exact effect of the flare, it couldn’t be tested just yet, since he only had 20 of them, and they needed to be saved for critical moments.

And this loot was quite interesting — after killing Blood-red Zombies, the corresponding weapon equipment dropped!

If he were to encounter Blood-red Zombies again, it might not be so troublesome!

After putting away the spoils, Wang Tao took another look at the Level 2 Crystal Core in his hand.

He had quite a few Level 2 Crystal Cores, but excluding those related to Ascension and Omnipotent, most of the cores were unique.

The only ones he had in abundance were the Weakness Poison Fog cores, with about ten. Next were the Power Crystal Cores, with three.

The Ability of Weakness Poison Fog didn’t seem suitable for Wang Tao, so he didn’t consider it.

He could, however, synthesize one without side effects and impurities — an Epic Strength Crystal Core; and he did want the Power Ability.

But the problem was, if he fused Crystal Cores now, he had to consider whether it would be easy to integrate abilities in the future.

Power was a Passive Ability, while his other three abilities were all active Abilities. Wang Tao felt that the chances of integrating Power with the other three cores were very low… So integrating it now seemed inappropriate.

So after much thought, he found that he still couldn’t fuse any Level 2 Crystal Cores for the time being. He still needed to save up.

What a pity that these more than nine thousand units of Special Energy probably wouldn’t be used for a while.

…

The next day, early morning.

As Wang Tao opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Shixue staring at him.

Fortunately, Wang Tao had already become accustomed to Jiang Shixue’s occasional strange behaviors, or he might have been startled.

“Good morning, Little Xue.”

“Morning~”

Wang Tao came out and saw Xu Xiaojun patrolling nearby.

It was Wang Tao’s turn to stand guard the previous night, and Xu Xiaojun took the later shift. Jiang Shixue had been sleeping the whole time, but her sleep was light, and she would wake up immediately if there was any disturbance.

“Little Jun, are you tired? If you are, go get some more sleep.”

Wang Tao asked with concern.

“Brother Wang, I’m not tired.”

Xu Xiaojun promptly patted his chest and assured him.

“All right.”

Seeing Xu Xiaojun looking spirited, Wang Tao nodded with a smile.

There were still some fish left from yesterday, and the three of them had it for breakfast in a simple manner.

During the meal, Wang Tao suddenly realized that the three of them seemed to have quite an appetite—

He didn’t mention himself since he had always had a big appetite, which only increased after becoming an Ability User.

Xu Xiaojun was even bulkier than him, and his food intake wasn’t small either.

As for Jiang Shixue, she looked thin and small, but she had the largest appetite among the three, like a bottomless pit. After all, she was currently in a Half-human half-zombie state, so the big appetite made sense.

“We’ll need to prepare more food in the future!”

Wang Tao felt a bit of regret, although he had many nutrient solutions, just consuming nutrient solutions wasn’t ideal.

Fortunately, Wang Tao had three Magical Stomach Pouches, which could hold a lot of food.

“Here, take this.”

Wang Tao handed a stomach pouch to Xu Xiaojun.

“Is this… a water bag?”

Xu Xiaojun was somewhat puzzled.

“It’s a container for storing food.”

Wang Tao briefly demonstrated, and Xu Xiaojun looked amazed.

“Today, we will catch more fish and prepare food to store inside the stomach pouches…”

With one Magical Stomach Pouch each, they could store quite a bit of food now.

“Yes!”

Xu Xiaojun was full of vim.

The entire day, the trio dedicated themselves to fishing. They caught more than a dozen fish, larger than average humans!

They were busy until sunset, finally managing to process the fish completely.

Wang Tao planned to continue fishing the next day, not wanting to waste a good fishing spot.

As for tonight, Wang Tao intended to go out with Jiang Shixue.

He remembered that there were still two Level 3 Blood-red Zombies nearby.

The benefits of killing Level 3 zombies were too great, and with ultraviolet flashlights and flares in hand, he wanted to try if he could take down another one!

Even if it wasn’t possible, at least he needed to find out the lairs of these two Blood-red Zombies. Maybe he could replicate yesterday’s success!
