NOVEL NEXT Chapter 629 - 260 Night Demon Set_3
He Jijun frowned and said.
"Yes."
Wang Tao nodded.
"Then what are hidden attributes?"
He Jijun asked curiously.
"Some people have special abilities that might not have been prominent or even apparent before the apocalypse, but they started to manifest themselves afterward. That’s what hidden attributes are. Though these abilities can also be acquired later on, it’s all a matter of luck..."
Wang Tao explained briefly. He didn’t want to reveal his ability to see others’ attributes, so he organized his language and found another way to say it.
"Do you have any hidden attributes, Wang Tao?"
Yang Changhong quickly asked.
Wang Tao looked towards everyone, his eyes suddenly flashing green.
"Night vision is my hidden ability."
He did not mention the other two attributes, [Body Strengthening] and [Plant Affinity], because those two were not as easy to demonstrate.
The others suddenly realized.
They wondered why they had never seen a crystal core with night vision ability—it turned out to be Wang Tao’s hidden ability!
"Does that mean, Wang Tao, you can awaken?"
Yang Changhong’s eyes showed some joy. She was even happier than Wang Tao at the chance of his awakening.
"Hmm," Wang Tao nodded. "But it’s only a chance. I’m not sure what awakening would be like exactly."
"That’s great!" Yang Changhong clenched her fists tightly. "If you could awaken, Wang Tao, then we wouldn’t be so helpless against those four-level zombies!"
Yang Changhong was very confident in Wang Tao’s strength. Now that Wang Tao could kill a level 4 lord, it would be even less of an issue once he ascended to level 4!
Seeing Yang Changhong so confident, Wang Tao sweat a little. He was not nearly as confident in himself...
"Then Brother Wang, you still lack..."
Nie Siyan promptly asked.
"I only lack the special ability level. I have one ability that hasn’t reached level 3, level 10, and I don’t have enough level 4 Ascension Crystal Cores. I need at least two more..."
Wang Tao said with some helplessness.
"So, we still have to hunt for four-level zombies!"
He Jijun said solemnly.
"Yes. We need to kill at least another two, and if we’re unlucky, maybe a few more..."
"..."
Everyone went silent.
After all, last night’s experience told them that four-level zombies were much stronger than level 3 zombies!
They managed to over-power level 2 while at level 1, and level 3 while at level 2, but it’s almost impossible to beat level 4 zombies at level 3!
And they were not just any level 4 zombies—they had to kill a level 4 lord... That was an almost impossible task!
After all, killing just one Lord Night Demon was difficult enough, not to mention that it attracted the Giant Zombie. With their current strength, encountering a Giant Zombie meant death...
"This task is very difficult, but we can’t give up!"
At this point, He Jijun spoke. He looked at everyone with a firm gaze.
"Zombies evolve faster than we humans. If we can’t overcome even this difficulty, then we can only wait for death! And don’t forget, we managed to kill one level 4 Lord Night Demon! Even though we took advantage of a situation, nighttime is when zombies are strongest... We even escaped the encirclement of two Giant Zombies! So I believe, we will definitely succeed!"
Listening to him, everyone’s confidence slowly returned.
Indeed, if they could kill the first one, they could kill the second, the third, the countless ones to come!

Even the Giant Zombie, so formidable, could not catch them—they couldn’t give up!
"So next, I think we should make some preparations!"
He Jijun looked towards Wang Tao.
"What do you mean?"
Wang Tao asked.
He Jijun’s face immediately showed a smile.
"Don’t forget, Wang Tao, there are some thermal weapons in this military base! We initially thought about not making too much noise, to ensure the hunting of zombies would not be too dangerous. But now, facing a level 4 Lord Zombie, we will definitely make noise and attract a lot of zombies, possibly even a Giant Zombie! So we might as well not hide anymore.
When we see a level 4 Lord Zombie, let’s just go for it with heavy firepower! As long as we can kill the level 4 zombie quickly, we have a chance to escape!"
"Sss—"
Wang Tao was initially shocked by He Jijun’s words, then felt that He Jijun was right!
Considering yesterday’s fight with the Lord Night Demon, it would definitely attract zombies, so why not be more aggressive? As long as they killed the Lord Zombie before other zombies or the Giant Zombie arrived, wouldn’t that solve the problem?
Of course, this was still very risky, but not as risky as being chased by two Giant Zombies.
"Okay! Old He, you command this time!"
Wang Tao decisively nodded.
When it came to thermal weapons, Wang Tao was not that knowledgeable. Everyone has their field of expertise, and it was better left to He Jijun.
"Okay!"
He Jijun did not refuse, and then he added.
"It’s getting late now, everyone should rest well. I can’t sleep anyway, so it’s the perfect time for me to figure things out tonight..."
"Okay!"
Wang Tao nodded.
The matter was settled, and they had to try using thermal weapons to handle the level 4 zombies.
The biggest problem with using thermal weapons was how to escape after attracting a large number of zombies. But for that issue, He Jijun already had a plan—that was the helicopter in the hangar!
However, flying required relatively good weather. Light rain was okay, but heavy rain, strong winds, and thunderstorms were not suitable. They had to wait for good weather...
Everyone went to rest.
Wang Tao didn’t go back to his own room but followed Yang Changhong to hers.
"What are you doing here?"
Yang Changhong’s face blushed as she pretended to be clueless.
"Need to replenish some energy!"
Wang Tao immediately hugged her, and the two rolled onto the bed together.
He was still low on HP, and because he was low on HP, his energy had not fully recovered. He needed to first replenish his energy and then use self-healing to restore his HP.
"You’re still injured. Don’t move, let me do it..."
Knowing that Wang Tao had an energy-replenishing ability, Yang Changhong considerately lay on top of him...
