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

Wang Tao looked around and, after not finding any Level 3 zombies, once again changed the route.

Soon, the group arrived at the third street.

This street was comparatively better: it was wider and there were relatively fewer zombies on it.

Most importantly, there were a few Level 3 Elite Zombies here.

"This will do!"

Wang Tao decided to enter the urban area from here.

After the group made an appearance, they quickly drew the attention of some zombies. Though the heavy rain affected the zombies’ perception, among so many of them, there were always a few with particularly sharp senses. It was normal to be spotted.

"Attack!"

Each member drew their weapons and charged towards the zombies.

Aside from Lightning, everyone was now Level 3, and handling these Level 2 zombies was like picking off low-hanging fruit.

In a moment, none of the zombies were left standing, including those Level 3 Elite Zombies, which Wang Tao easily disposed of.

After collecting the spoils of battle, Wang Tao used his Perception Ability and then pointed in a direction:

"There are fewer zombies over there, let’s go that way."

"Okay!"

Everyone followed Wang Tao, continuing to delve deeper into the urban area.

The urban area of Wuyang City was vast; even in peacetime, it would have been impossible to explore the entire area quickly, let alone now.

Thus, Wang Tao’s goal was to search according to the areas marked on the map, one by one, and he should eventually find a Four-level zombie.

But unfortunately, even until nightfall, after killing who knows how many zombies, they had still not encountered a single Four-level zombie.

"Damn it!"

Wang Tao felt somewhat helpless.

It was the embodiment of that saying: The more you lack something, the less likely you are to encounter it.

Initially, Wang Tao had been considering how to deal with a Four-level zombie if he encountered one. The irony... he couldn’t even find one!

"Let’s find a place to rest."

There was no point in going back to the base now; otherwise, the effort it took to reach this point would be wasted if they had to start all over again.

"Sure!"

Nobody objected; they had been fighting frequently all day long without much rest. But if you really talked about danger, nothing much had really happened. After all, everyone was cautious and didn’t make much noise.

Wang Tao surveyed the area and then chose a high-rise building about a dozen stories tall.

He thought this location was good, as it allowed for a view of the nearby area and if a Four-level zombie appeared, he would be able to spot it in time.

There was a square under the building with quite a few zombies on it. Wang Tao spent some time clearing out these zombies before entering the building.

Naturally, there were also quite a few zombies inside the building, but the group didn’t rush and methodically cleared them floor by floor.

However, as they reached a certain floor, Wang Tao suddenly exclaimed.

"Huh?"

"What’s wrong?"

Everyone looked at Wang Tao.

"We’ve stumbled upon a Night Demon’s Nest, just a few floors above..."

Wang Tao pointed upwards.

"..."

Wang Tao’s perception range was limited. When he was downstairs, he wouldn’t have been able to see the whole building’s situation. As for his Plant Affinity Ability, it didn’t detect anything because there were no plants in the Night Demon’s Nest. Moreover, with many Ordinary Zombies inside the building, Wang Tao didn’t consciously think about the Night Demon’s Nest.

"What do you say?"

Yang Changhong and the others looked at Wang Tao, somewhat eager.

"Of course we’re going to check it out!"

Night Demons were at least Level 3, and killing them could greatly increase their HP; it was an opportunity not to be missed. Furthermore, Wang Tao had many Ultraviolet illumination flares, which were effective against Night Demons and indirectly weakened their combat power.

Wang Tao and his group carefully cleared the zombies on that floor, then continued upwards.

The building had 18 floors in total, and the Night Demon’s Nest was located above the 10th floor. There were no zombies from the 9th to the 7th floor, only below the 7th.

After Wang Tao and the group had cleared all the zombies in these seven floors, the sky was completely dark.

Wang Tao could sense that during the day, even when the sky was very overcast, the Night Demons didn’t do much, as if they were sleeping in their lair.

But as soon as night fell completely, the Night Demons woke up, as though, and began to stir. It was likely that a Night Demon would soon leave its lair.

Many of the building’s entrances were blocked, leaving only an accessible stairway. Wang Tao and his companions stood on this necessary path for the Night Demon.

"Here it comes!"

Wang Tao whispered.

Moments later, a blood-red figure emerged into view.

[HP: 70000/70000]

[Mana: 40000/40000]

[Level: Level 3, Elite]

A Level 3 Elite Night Demon with seventy thousand HP. Wang Tao had seen Night Demons before; a Level 3 Lord had fifty thousand HP, but this one had seventy thousand and was still only Elite. He estimated that the Lord of this nest must have a hundred thousand HP.

"Roar—"

This Night Demon probably hadn’t expected to find humans blocking the entrance to its home, and so it didn’t immediately charge at Wang Tao and the others upon seeing them.

Bang!

Bang!

He Jijun, carrying an Air Bulet Rifle, and Wang Tao, using his Air Bullet Ability, struck the Night Demon’s head simultaneously.

The Air Bullets, though seemingly unremarkable, had great impact power. The Night Demon was instantly knocked down.

Yang Changhong and the others seized the opportunity to rush forward and quickly hacked the Night Demon to death.

As Level 3 ability users with tens of thousands of HP each, a single Night Demon was definitely no match for their combined assault.

"Roar—"
