Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1485 - 618: Team Blessing Badge_2

"So that’s how it is!"

Wang Tao was overjoyed; this was the best possible outcome—the weakness period would not accumulate but reset instead.

Simply resetting the weakness period makes things much easier. In the future, he could just take the opportunity at the base to use all the necessary Potions at once, and then just wait for the one-day weakness period to pass.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Wang Tao nodded in satisfaction.

He had previously collected a lot of Blood Beads from the Giant Zombie, which had significantly increased everyone’s HP. Additionally, Wang Tao had several other items that could increase HP and Mana limits... Now, with these two Potions, they might reach the achievement of 1 million HP after they return.

And it wasn’t just them; Wang Tao could use these Potions too. His HP had already reached a million, but not his Mana. 1 million Mana is also one of the basic conditions for Seventh Level Ascension, which he intended to fulfill. So, these Potions are just perfect, helping Wang Tao fulfill one of the conditions!

However, he definitely couldn’t use them now; it would be better to wait until they got back. Otherwise, with the negative status of weakness for a day, if they encountered any unexpected situations and Wang Tao couldn’t exert his full Combat Power, that would be troublesome.

In any case, these Potions would all be useful to them. Although the quantity seemed quite large, they would definitely all be utilized.

After storing the Potions, as for Li Qiuyu, there was no need for her to increase her power for the time being. It would be best to decide on the order based on Combat Power from high to low later. If the people with higher Combat Power became stronger, it would be easier to lead the others, so this would be the most cost-effective.

After keeping the Potions, Wang Tao turned his attention to the last item that he was interested in—equipment that he had just crafted using materials dropped from the Mother Zombie.

[Team Blessing Badge]

[Sixth Rank (Epic)]

[Increases the defensive power, Spiritual Defense Power, and Elemental Defense by 10% within a certain area for friendly units (requires Awakening Energy activation, and the reservation of a breath signature, with a maximum of 100 accredited units)]

This was a very rare badge-type piece of Equipment, and its functionality was equally rare—it increased the entire team’s Attributes!

The attributes boosted were not limited; it increased defensive power, Spiritual Defense, and Elemental Defense by 10% each!

Although there was a maximum of 100 units, that was more than enough for Wang Tao and his group, which totaled just over a dozen people.

The way the equipment distinguished between friend and foe was interesting; under the condition that the user activated this feature, by placing their skin on the badge for ten seconds, they could record their own breath signature into it.

Without giving it much thought, Wang Tao gave this badge to Lan Yulian.

She was a healer and typically didn’t act alone, so the badge was most suited for her.

Thus, Wang Tao first had Lan Yulian activate it, then had everyone register their breath signature with the badge in turn. And not only people’s breath signatures, but Lightning, Golden Eagle, and the little ferrets could also get their breath accredited.

After all the people and animals had completed the process, Wang Tao checked their attributes; under their HP bars, there was a Blessing status with no time limit.

[Blessing: Defensive Power +10%, Spiritual Defense Power +10%, Elemental Defense +10%]

Wang Tao also had Lin Meng conduct a test to see if the Blessing from this Equipment would get overwritten by the Blessing from her Healing. The test showed that it wouldn’t. This Blessing existed independently. Currently, Lin Meng could give a person up to three Blessings, and together with this one, that made four!

This was a substantial enhancement, especially because it was percentage-based. Their power was already not weak, and with Lin Meng’s three layers of Blessing plus this one, that’s four layers of Blessing on them—their Combat Power would be significantly enhanced!

"I hope we come across more hospitals..."

Wang Tao silently took out the map Qu Shilin had given him. According to the records, there were indeed a few more places to visit. Wang Tao was now somewhat looking forward to it; he wondered if the other hospitals could hold any good loot...

As Wang Tao pondered, the Golden Eagle suddenly made a noise.

Wang Tao thought they had reached their destination, but the Golden Eagle informed him that it had found the group of human Survivors they had seen before.

Since they didn’t encounter them while on the road, Wang Tao thought they might be hiding somewhere and had subconsciously disregarded them. To his surprise, they had actually made their way here. Were they Running for an extended period, or did they have a vehicle?

Wang Tao was quite curious about this group of Survivors, so he simply waved his hand and said:

"Let’s head over."

Whoosh— freēwēbnovel.com

The Golden Eagle responded with a cry and joyfully flew towards that group of humans. It actually quite enjoyed the sight of humans being scared by it; it found it amusing.

Below, a rust-streaked pickup truck was nimbly weaving through the ruins, with everyone inside extremely tense. They were all gripping their weapons tightly, as if ready to fight desperately at the slightest provocation.

One of them turned to look through the rear window, speaking with some uncertainty, "We should have shaken them off, right?"

Another pulled out a makeshift rearview mirror made of glass, then stretched it out of the sunroof and carefully looked around before saying, "We should have gotten away... The zombies we passed were relatively normal without the restraint that comes in presence of a Zombie Lord."

"Then that’s good!"

Upon hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A young man complained:

"Damn it, our luck has been terrible these days! If it’s not running into a Zombie Tide, it’s stumbling upon a battle between Zombie Lords, and now we’ve accidentally intruded into the territory of a Zombie Lord... We’ve wasted too much time, and haven’t scavenged much. I’m afraid the loot from this trip won’t even make up for the cost of the fuel!"

But there were also optimists among them.

"Hey! Look on the bright side, we are all still alive, aren’t we? Not a single person lost! In this damned Apocalypse, surviving one more day is another day’s profit! We’ve been out for a week now, that’s already insanely good luck!"

"...That’s true, but not getting any decent loot for such a long time is really frustrating!"

The young man sighed. The words just spoken by his companion eased his irritation somewhat. But it was also a fact that they hadn’t achieved much this time out... They had hoped to take advantage of the melting snow and warmer weather to hurry out and scavenge for supplies, aiming for a big score. However, they hadn’t anticipated that the number of zombies outside vastly exceeded their expectations, and their strength was incredibly formidable.

They had never seen sixth-rank zombies before, yet this time they encountered several Sixth-Rank Zombie Lords! Although they only caught a distant glimpse, that terrifying aura was enough to make their legs wobble.

Unfortunately, there’s no medicine for regret in this world, and since they’d already ventured out, it wasn’t something they could back out of easily. Moreover, they didn’t want to return empty-handed. Having already risked so much, returning with nothing would mean the risk was in vain...

Of course, they did have some gains, however little, and wouldn’t return completely empty-handed.

Talking about all this was just to vent their complaints; if they were asked to go out and scavenge again, they would be a hundred times unwilling. Making it back home safely would already be considered a win.

But just as they were sighing and lamenting, the vehicle suddenly jerked, and then they found their world turned upside down—the car had flipped!

Two pus-filled slender arms flashed past the window, along with a hideous face.

Crash——

The car smashed heavily into the ruins. Although it had a blast-resistant fuel tank and wouldn’t explode easily, the inside of the vehicle was in total disarray, with everyone thrown around.

A zombie with long, pus-filled arms squatted outside the car, extending an arm trying to reach inside.

Seeing that somewhat familiar silhouette, everyone felt a sense of despair.

They hadn’t been pursued by the zombie but had been ambushed by it instead!

It’s all over now!

Some of them even began to see their life flashing before their eyes.

Swoosh——

Suddenly, a whistling sound was heard.

Under the bewildered gazes of everyone, the hideous zombie’s body stiffened, then fell to the ground with a thud.

Only then did they see that the zombie had a spear stuck in its back!

"We’re saved!"

After all, they had been mixing it up in the Apocalypse for so long; although their combat power might not be very strong, their reactions were quick. They instantly understood that someone had rescued them, as it was clear that the spear was not a weapon of a zombie’s. So, they hurriedly crawled outside.

"Caw—"

But at that moment, they suddenly heard a loud cry. Looking up, they saw a golden eagle, enormous enough to obscure the sky, flying toward them. Their hearts sank, until they noticed a figure on the eagle’s head.
