Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1520 - 635 Collect Enough Crystal Cores_2

Three seconds were up, but at the same time, Wang Tao’s fireball was fully charged. He directly stuffed the fireball into the mouth of the Dark Fog Zombie.

Boom—

A dull explosion sounded, and the Dark Fog Zombie, which had just regained consciousness, was blasted away.

Wang Tao pursued his victory, unleashing various techniques, preventing the Dark Fog Zombie from landing from the sky. By the time it finally hit the ground, it had only a sliver of HP left.

Wang Tao’s eyes shot out two red beams once more.

Sizzle—

[-3278]

[0/1000000]

Boom, boom, boom—

The Dark Fog Zombie’s blood bar emptied, and its plump body crashed to the ground thunderously.

This time Wang Tao didn’t trigger a slaying, but the speed of hunting this Disaster Class zombie was much faster than before when he did trigger slaying.

After all, Wang Tao had gone all out, even using Mental Attacks that could easily backlash. And it happened to have a weaker Mental Defense... If he couldn’t bring it down quickly, Wang Tao might as well just find a block of tofu to dash his head against and die.

After the death of the Dark Fog Disaster Zombie, the dark fog did not dissipate but became thinner. Finally, Han Rui and others outside could see Wang Tao’s figure. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

This gave them a sigh of relief.

Since they could not see the situation inside the dark fog and couldn’t help even if they wanted to, they were naturally somewhat anxious about Wang Tao’s safety.

Wang Tao collected all the spoils of war from this Dark Fog Zombie and looked at the Awakening Seed in his hand with a complex expression.

In just a few short hours, he had hunted three Disaster Zombies and obtained three Awakening Seeds. Three days later, the Awakening Tree would bear a large number of Awakening Fruits. Using Awakening Fruits as raw materials, a large amount of awakening potions could be created to produce many Awakeners...

All of this seemed very wonderful.

But the problem was, if he encountered three Disaster Zombies in just a few hours, how many Disaster Zombies would there be in this world?

For him, a Sixth Rank Disaster Zombie was definitely good stuff; he could easily hunt Sixth Rank Disaster Zombies and could obtain a massive amount of spoils of war.

But for others, Disaster Zombies were undoubtedly real disasters!

Large bases like Changhe Base were okay; at least they had high walls and barriers that could block out Sixth Order zombies. But for those small Survivor Bases, if a Disaster Zombie appeared nearby, it would spell the beginning of the base’s doom!

If a large number of Disaster Zombies appeared, forget the smaller bases; even Changhe Base may not be able to hold. Barriers also have limits, and they can’t block every attack.

Of course, for all these Disaster Zombies to appear simultaneously seems unlikely. After all, the Cataclysmic Awakening of Disaster Zombies attacks indiscriminately, and they can’t control it themselves. If a group of Disaster Zombies were to appear at the same place at the same time, humans might not need to act; the zombies would likely fight among themselves first...

But no matter what, the mass emergence of Disaster Zombies is very unfriendly to survivors, and a slight misstep could lead to group annihilation!

After Wang Tao flew onto the back of the Golden Eagle, Ding Yuqin and others immediately expressed their concern: "Are you hurt?"

"I’m fine."

Wang Tao smiled and shook his head. As for this Dark Fog Disaster Zombie, it didn’t even manage to break his Shield. It was much weaker compared to the last Disaster Zombie that bit through his shield with one mouthful.

Looking at the empty ruins of the city below, Wang Tao then said to everyone:

"The zombies here have run off, let’s check other places."

"Okay!"

The Golden Eagle flew towards the next destination.

...

Ten days later.

"Huff—"

With a single slash, Wang Tao split the head of the Zombie Lord in front of him into two, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Having fought continuously for more than four hours, even he was feeling the strain.

"Quickly collect the spoils of war, and then we retreat!"

Moments later, after everyone had collected the Crystal Cores that the zombies had dropped, they immediately boarded the Golden Eagle and flew toward Changhe Base.

"That was thrilling!"

"Just now I thought I was going to die, thankfully I got healed..."

"..."

On the back of the Golden Eagle, everyone was excitedly discussing.

Their enemy in this battle wasn’t just any zombie, or a group of zombies, but an entire zombie tide!

A horde that could be called a zombie tide had at least tens of thousands of zombies.

They weren’t sure of the exact number of zombies in this tide, but there were three Sixth Rank Lords alone, not to mention countless Fifth and Sixth Tier Elites.

And before fighting this tide, they had just hunted down two Giant Zombies and one Disaster Zombie, without much rest in between.

In such a situation, they took on the zombie tide. It was a bit reckless, to say the least.

But the gains were also tremendous; not to mention the increase in battle experience, the Crystal Cores shining under the sunlight practically blinded them.

"Should the Crystal Cores we got this time be enough?"

Ding Yuqin asked quietly next to Wang Tao.

"Enough."

Wang Tao smiled and nodded.

This time they went out with two goals in mind: to hunt as many sixth-rank zombies as possible, accumulating Basic Law Force, and to gather more Fifth and Sixth Tier Crystal Cores to allow others to ascend to the Sixth Rank.

For Wang Tao to accumulate Law Force, he needed to hunt down targets of the same attribute as himself, which was a bit tricky.

However, the Disaster Zombie with the reflective system and the Dark Fog Disaster-level zombie previously slain both had Basic Law Force, and the other zombies hunted later on also had it. So far, Wang Tao’s Primary Law Force had reached 75%, only 25% left to go.

Given the current pace, getting that last 25% wouldn’t happen overnight.

Plus, there was still the previous problem—Wang Tao hadn’t found a Fire System target with Law Force.

Without the Basic Fire Law Force, even if Wang Tao collected 100% Basic Law Force, he wouldn’t be able to ascend to the Seventh Level. That’s because he couldn’t satisfy the "four awakenings at max level" prerequisite for his Basic Attributes...

Feeling the temperature rising higher and higher, Wang Tao became somewhat impatient. But he knew very well not to rush, as haste could spoil everything. So, he forced himself to calm down.

Although he couldn’t ascend to the Seventh Level now, this excursion had yielded a large number of Crystal Cores, enough for others to ascend to the Sixth Rank.

This would significantly strengthen the combat capabilities of the entire team.

Thus, Wang Tao decided to head straight back to the base and start everyone’s ascension to the Sixth Rank. Once everyone had ascended, they could hunt more Disaster Zombies. Wang Tao’s speed of collecting Basic Law Force would also increase.

After flying for most of the day, the Golden Eagle brought them to a familiar rift, the closest one to Changhe Base. A little more flying, and they would arrive at Changhe Base.

At the moment, there were many people and vehicles near the rift, all there to transport water.

It was quite amazing; while temperatures elsewhere were rising and some places saw their groundwater turning hot, perhaps ready to evaporate at any moment, the water in the rift remained cool. Therefore, Changhe Base had been arranging for people to transport water from the rift to the base lately.

The Hope Research Institute had already tested these waters. Though there were minor bacteria and impurities, they were non-toxic, safe to use even without boiling.

Wang Tao had not intended to stop here, but noticing some commotion among the crowd below, as if something had happened, he directed the Golden Eagle to fly over out of concern.

Chiu—

The cry of the Golden Eagle instantly drew everyone’s attention. When they saw a massive Golden Eagle flying towards them with people on its back, the people on the ground didn’t panic—they knew that Commissioner Wang Tao from their base was coming.

"What happened? Why is it all such a mess?"

After hopping down from the Golden Eagle, Wang Tao asked immediately.

Seeing Wang Tao, clad in his imposing equipment, a military officer froze for a moment, then rushed over to salute him.

"Commissioner Wang, good to see you! Just now when we were drawing water, someone drank some and found there was a problem, and a dispute broke out over it..."

For Changhe Base, storing water resources was a serious matter. Thus, the Six Major Legions had also sent people, but the soldiers were only there to maintain order and ensure road safety, leaving the transport work to other people from the base.

"Hmm? What’s the issue?"

Wang Tao frowned.

The officer called over a Level 2 Ability User who spoke nervously:

"Somehow, this water suddenly turned salty, unbearably salty! And it’s also bitter, undrinkable..."
