NOVEL NEXT Chapter 622 - 258 Awakening Key_2
Wang Tao distributed the Stealth Potions, injecting one into himself, and then into Lightning, who was in his arms.
Soon, a faint scent of decay emanated from their bodies.
"Continue to rush!"
A few minutes later, Wang Tao felt the Giant Zombie falling further and further behind them.
"Phew—"
Wang Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that this Giant also relied on scent for perception.
Before long, Wang Tao could no longer see the position of the Giant Zombie, nor hear its footsteps.
Yet he remained extremely cautious and did not have everyone rush anymore, but instead started running. After all, the noise from rushing was relatively louder.
Wang Tao didn’t even know where he was now, as he had no way to discern direction while fleeing for his life. He just thought about getting as far away from the Giant Zombie as possible.
After an unknown period of running, Wang Tao finally called a halt.
"Stop, we should be safe now."
During this time, Wang Tao fed numerous Crystal Cores to the Entangling Roots, recovering some of its HP. Relying on his Self-healing Ability, he had almost fully restored his own HP. His only problem was the massive Mana consumption, which he couldn’t replenish for the moment, preventing him from maintaining full Perception, as this Ability drained a lot of Mana.
"Thank goodness Brother Wang had the Stealth Potion..."
Nie Siyan spoke with a trace of fear.
They had encountered too many zombies along the way!
If it weren’t for the Stealth Potion, given the way they were running, they probably would’ve triggered a zombie horde!
"Let’s go. While the effects of the Stealth Potion last, let’s quickly find a place to hide..."
Wang Tao had also given it some thought. He figured that the Giant Zombie was not attracted by their scent, but by the commotion they caused while fighting the Black Skin Night Demon!
For instance, the glaring Flares, the purple light filling entire floors, and being more than ten stories high—it was hard not to attract attention.
So Wang Tao thought that as long as they found a good hiding place and concealed their scent, they should be able to avoid the Giant Zombie.
"Let’s go this way!"
Wang Tao chose a direction.
Although he had Night Vision, he was not familiar with Wuyang City, and it was still a bit hard to tell where exactly he was. But he felt that this direction should lead them out of the city.
As long as they could leave the city and get to the car they had hidden, they would essentially be safe.
Along the way, Wang Tao occasionally activated his Perception to check for any significant dangers nearby.
After cautiously walking for half an hour, although their pace slowed, fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.
"We should be getting out soon..."
Under a strangely shaped high-rise, Wang Tao rubbed his temples. His Mana was depleted, and his spirit felt unwell.
Suddenly, Wang Tao’s hair stood on end! A chill went from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head!
Wang Tao immediately activated his Perception, only to see a massive energy body right before his eyes!
"Shit!"
Bang!
Wang Tao couldn’t react in time and was slapped square on.
Boom—
He was smashed into a civilian house.
The others were confused; only then did they realize that what they thought was some mutant high-rise was actually a Giant Zombie leaning against the building!
But... how could that be possible!
How could its speed be so fast!
They had all been running in a straight line under Wang Tao’s lead, and there was no Giant Zombie behind them. Where did it chase them from?!
However, no one had time to think deeply about it, and they hastened to the house, prying Wang Tao from the wall he was embedded in.
"Cough, cough!"
Wang Tao felt as if all the bones in his body were broken, tasted iron in his mouth, and his ears buzzed.
"Cough... It’s not that Giant Zombie, it’s another one!"
Wang Tao’s words left everyone somewhat stunned.
"Another one?"
"Cough, quick! Rush! Keep rushing!"
Wang Tao roared.
Everyone, not daring to delay, immediately engaged in Rush. Of course, this was a retreat Rush for escaping.
Boom boom boom—
They burst out of the house. Although the appearance of this Giant Zombie was indistinct, Wang Tao saw it clearly:
[HP: 200,000/200,000]
[Mana: 100,000/100,000]
[Grade: Level 4 - Lord]
[Awakening: Giant] Your next chapter awaits on empire
The Giant Zombie that had been chasing them earlier had 300,000 HP, but this one had 200,000 HP!
These were clearly not the same one!
There were two Giant Zombies—or maybe even more!
After all, they were only in one district of Wuyang City, and if there were already two Giant Zombies in this district, then in the other districts...
Everyone didn’t have time to ponder further. Even Wang Tao felt his mind was growing foggy, fearing he might faint, so he quickly said:
"Little Xue, you lead the way!"
Aside from him, only Jiang Shixue and Lightning had Night Vision, but since Lightning couldn’t speak, it had to be Jiang Shixue.
"Okay!"
Thump, thump, thump—
This Giant Zombie also began to pursue. However, it was smaller than the previous one, so it was relatively slower. While the group took full advantage of the Stealth Potion’s effects, which hadn’t worn off yet, and rushed with all their might, they managed to shake off this Giant Zombie after some time.
At this point, Wang Tao still had over 30,000 HP, but his head was very groggy, and he really wanted to sleep, but he didn’t dare. He was holding a Rejuvenation Potion, and if there was any more danger, he would have to use this Potion.
Then, the crisp voice of Jiang Shixue rang out.
