Chapter 288: Chapter 148: Ascension (Seeking Monthly Pass at Month’s End)_i
Wang Tao looked at the Weakness status below his HP bar with some helplessness. He just remembered that he had used a Rejuvenation Potion yesterday and was going to be in a weakened state for the whole day today. “Are you still going to hunt Elite Zombies today?”
Ding Yuqin looked at Wang Tao.
“Yes.”
Wang Tao nodded.
His strength had increased now, and even in a weakened state, hunting Level Elite Zombies was still no problem.
Of course, this also had to do with the Gorilla zombie’s death. There were no more Level Two zombies in the county now, otherwise Wang Tao would definitely be more cautious.
Then you need to be careful, are you sure your injuries are really okay?…” Ding Yuqin grabbed Wang Tao’s arm and asked with some concern.
“Haha, I replenished all my HP on you last night, and I’m in great shape now!’ Wang Tao said with a laugh.
“You’re so annoying-never serious!”
Ding Yuqin gently punched Wang Tao in the chest.
Wang Tao shrugged. These days, telling the truth meant no one believed you.
“Do you need me to accompany you?”
Han Rui came over at this time.
Although she was also in a weakened state today, she slept well last night and felt quite spirited.
“Sure, let’s go together. Just in case I trigger a Sleeping State again, it’s good to have a companion.”
Wang Tao said with a smile.
He was now just one HP drop away and could easily hunt any Level 1 Elite Zombie; theoretically, he could handle it alone. But if it was like before, and every increase of 1000 HP put him into a Sleeping State, then he would still need someone to assist him.
“Great! I’ll get ready…”
Han Rui immediately began to put on her gear. However, as she was gearing up, she suddenly asked out of curiosity:
What’s with Li Qjuyu today? There’s something off about her ever since she got up this morning…”
Ah?” Upon hearing this, Ding Yuqin seemed to think of something, her face turned red, and she muttered softly, “She couldn’t have stayed awake all night could she…”
Wang Tao:”…”
If that was the case, then things might be a bit awkward. But no matter, it’s not like he was losing out.
Alright, you rest up at home, sis, we’re heading out.”
“Okay-”
Ding Yuqin nodded.
As Wang Tao went downstairs, he happened to bump into Li Qjuyu at the stair corner.
“Ouch~”
Li Qjuyu almost fell, but fortunately, Wang Tao caught her.
What’s wrong with you, looking so out of it…?”
“Cough, it’s nothing, thanks…”
Lt Qjuyu quickly extricated herself from Wang Tao’s embrace, looked at Wang Tao, then looked at Han Rui, her expression somewhat unnatural.
“As long as you’re okay.”
Wang Tao nodded and then went downstairs.
Han Rui trailed half a step behind, then turned around and playfully winked at Li Qjuyu. She thought Li Qjuyu was trying to create opportunities on purpose.
Li Qiuyu, thinking that Han Rui had also been awake the night before and knew about her insomnia, blushed deeply.
Once Wang Tao and Han Rui’s figures disappeared, Li Qjuyu sighed weakly.
“Doi really need to find a man to rely on… Yesterday was just too frightening…”
Downstairs, Wei Zhenguo and the others were also there, and they were all in a weakened state today.
“Wang Tao, leave the rebuilding of the base to us, you go ahead and ascend to Level Two with peace of mind!”
Upon seeing Wang Tao, Wei Zhenguo patted his shoulder with a serious expression.
“Okay, then I’ll leave it to you guys to work hard.”
Besides the comprehensive building, which was still intact, other areas of the Shuize Base had suffered varying degrees of destruction.
Especially the walls and the gate surrounding the base, which had been smashed by the Gorilla zombie. The main task now was to repair these areas, otherwise, they couldn’t fend off the zombies.
Of course, the first thing to do was to clean up all the zombie corpses inside the base. The Gorilla zombie’s roar from the previous day had directly killed many Ordinary zombies and Mad Demon Zombies, and there were far more of them dead than there were survivors, with rotting bodies scattered everywhere downstairs.
Wang Tao and Han Rui went outside the base and found their off-road vehicle.
The car was dirty and had many impact marks, but overall, there were no problems, and it still started.
Hum-
The electric motor of the car hummed as Wang Tao drove away from Shuize Base.
They drove for quite a while without encountering many zombies.
“It feels like it’s also a bit different out here…”
Han Rui spoke up, finding it strange.
“It should be because the zombies nearby all came to our base before, and a lot of them were indiscriminately killed by the Gorilla zombie… Let’s go a bit further and take a look.”
“Okay!”
The rarer something is, the harder it is to come by.
Elite Zombies, which used to be a common sight, are nowhere to be found now, with only some Ordinary zombies and Mad Demon Zombies wandering the streets…
Wang Tao set out in the morning and finally found a Rioters zombie wielding a
Big Hammer near a hospital by evening.
“Not easy at all!”
Wang Tao sighed, then immediately got out of the car and, from about ten meters away from the zombie, threw his axe.
Splat—
[-3200]
[0/3300]
The Terrorizer was instantly killed.
Wang Tao hurriedly looked at his HP bar.
[5000/5000]
He gained only 1 HP from killing this zombie, but his HP had reached 5000!
Wang Tao felt that something had come into his mind… He closed his eyes to contemplate.
“Wang Tao, how are you feeling?”
Han Rui asked with concern.
Wang Tao opened his eyes, his expression a bit odd.
“I’m fine, let’s go!”
Wang Tao first rushed over to collect the loot from the Terrorizer, then hurriedly drove Han Rui back in the car.
