Chapter 480: Chapter 211 Encounter with the Plant Monster Again_1
“`
Pfft!
Wang Tao swung his knife, cleaving a Level 3 Ordinary Zombie vertically in half.
“Phew—”
Surveying the zombie corpses scattered all around him, Wang Tao took a deep breath.
“There sure are a lot of zombies here!”
After splitting from the team, he had encountered many zombies along the way, most of which were Level 2 and Level 3 Ordinary Zombies.
Although he could easily deal with them, these zombies didn’t have much in the way of spoils, which was somewhat unsatisfying.
However, when Wang Tao looked at his Special Energy, he couldn’t help but grin.
[Special Energy: 54140]
From the bridge over the artificial lake to now, Wang Tao had amassed a total of fifty-four thousand Special Energy!
His previous maximum had only been twenty-six thousand; this was well over his former limit.
To synthesize or extract a Level 2 Ability only required 5000 Special Energy. With so much Special Energy, he could operate many times over!
But now wasn’t the time to study Abilities; Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue continued moving forward.
This was a multifunctional sports complex with three levels above ground, divided into six areas: Districts A, B, C, D, E, and F.
Among these, Districts A and B were the largest, C and D were medium-sized, and E and F were the smallest.
Previously, there had been blockades in each area that were not interconnected.
Zijin Base and the prison where zombies were bred were located in District A, but it had now completely fallen. Some zombies had broken through various blockades, spreading to the other districts.
No one knew which district was currently the most dangerous, but Districts A and B were definitely perilous since they were adjacent and many zombies were likely to have moved into District B.
However, Wang Tao’s target wasn’t any particular district but rather the underground.
Through the plants inside the sports complex, he could vaguely sense that the zombies in Districts E and F were not numerous and were relatively safe. Districts C and D had more zombies and were certainly more dangerous.
As for Districts A and B… Wang Tao couldn’t feel anything because there were no plants to utilize there.
Lack of sensation didn’t equate to lack of danger; in fact, it could mean the risk was even greater.
So, Wang Tao sent Jade Lotus to District E.
As for why he didn’t go himself, it was because he sensed that within the underground parking of the sports complex, there seemed to be… a very powerful Plant Monster!
His Hidden Ability, Plant Affinity, was also possessed by the Plant Monster. Thus, as soon as he sensed the Plant Monster, it sensed him as well!
In that moment, Wang Tao knew he had been targeted by the Plant Monster!
With many tendrils and mosses inside the sports complex, he couldn’t avoid them all.
So instead of letting a monster keep its eyes on him, it was better to take the initiative and go seek out the creature!
Moreover, the information given to Jade Lotus by Zijin Base hadn’t mentioned this Plant Monster, not even the underground parking. They said it was too dark and difficult to clear the area, so they simply sealed off the underground parking.
Now, it seemed either they had concealed some information about the underground parking, or something had happened there without their knowledge.
But regardless of which scenario it was, Wang Tao was determined to check out the underground parking. After all, both he and Jiang Shixue had Night Vision Abilities and were not afraid of the dark.
After walking for a while and killing a few Level 3 Ordinary Zombies, Wang Tao found one of the elevator entrances to the underground parking.
“It’s completely sealed off…”
If it were just blocking the elevator doors, Wang Tao might have found a way to open them, but they used construction materials to block the elevator shafts entirely.
Wang Tao was stumped and had to look for another way.
“Hm?”
Suddenly, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue both looked up, their eyes—one green, one red—fixating on the darkness.
In their line of sight, a pus-oozing, somewhat deformed zombie emerged from around the corner and approached them with a twisted gait.
[HP: 30000/30000]
[Mana: 3000/3000]
[Level: Level 3 Elite]
“Could this be one of the Level 3 Zombies they cultivated? But it seems a bit weak…”
Wang Tao frowned slightly upon seeing the zombie.
This Level 3 Elite Zombie had only 3000 Mana, which was even less than some Level 1 Ability Users…
“Don’t intervene, I want to gauge its strength,” Wang Tao told Jiang Shixue, then holding his Bone Knife, he walked towards the zombie.
“Hehehe…”
The zombie roared furiously at Wang Tao and reached out its hands to grab him.
Wang Tao dodged the attack with ease.
“Its attack speed is so-so…”
Then Wang Tao quickly retreated a few steps, prompting the zombie to chase after him swiftly.
“Its movement speed is also so-so…”
When the zombie caught up, Wang Tao directly struck its head with the knife.
[-15027]
The strike cut off half of its face.
“Its defense is average as well…”
“Hehehe…”
The attacked zombie seemed to grow angrier, roaring as it lunged at Wang Tao once again.
Wang Tao had no intention of testing its attack any further, so he simply swung his knife again.
Pfft~
[-14973]
The pus-oozing zombie’s HP dropped to zero.
“It really is weak…”
Wang Tao glanced at his Special Energy.
Although the zombie was weak, it still provided 1500 Special Energy. Of course, this wasn’t a lot; Wang Tao could get more than six thousand Special Energy from other Level 3 Elite Zombies.
Wang Tao then looked at its Crystal Core.
[Level 3 Crystal Core – Defense]
