“Ah, right—”
Just as Wang Tao turned to leave, Chen Zhuang suddenly opened his mouth.
“What’s up?”
Wang Tao turned his head.
“Never mind, never mind, it’s nothing! You go ahead with your business…”
Chen Zhuang hastily waved his hands, his expression somewhat dejected.
Seeing that he was unwilling to elaborate, Wang Tao did not inquire further.
As he left the building, he ran into Han Rui, wearing her black police uniform, just about to enter.
“Wang Tao? Are you heading out?”
Han Rui seemed surprised.
Wang Tao had only rested for one day before going out again? She was still in pain, wanting to lie in bed and not move a muscle…
“Yeah. Together? If we work together, we’ll definitely be able to scavenge a lot of supplies!”
Wang Tao said with a smile.
Truth be told, Han Rui looked really good in her police uniform, especially this kind of pure black officer’s standard dress, gallant and imposing. But this outfit seemed a size too small? The police badge on her left and the six-digit police number on her right were both bulging.
“No, no, no—” Upon hearing Wang Tao’s words, Han Rui quickly waved her hands. Perhaps realizing she had refused too hastily, she explained, “It’s not that I’m scared, it’s just that my injury hasn’t healed yet, and I would only be a burden to you if I went out… Next time, let’s go together when there’s a chance!”
If it had been about scavenging supplies, she would have definitely liked to accompany Wang Tao. After all, she knew all too well how strong Wang Tao was.
But her injuries hadn’t healed yet, and going out would just mean being a burden.
“Hehe, alright then. I’ll be off.”
Wang Tao had mentioned it casually; he could clearly see that Han Rui was still low on HP.
Waving his hand, Wang Tao got into his car and drove toward the gate.
Watching Wang Tao’s retreating figure as he drove away, Han Rui shook her head. If only her husband, Sun Weiguang, had half, or even a third, of Wang Tao’s strength, she wouldn’t have to worry so much.
“Wei Guang… you mustn’t let anything happen to you!”
“Hey, buddy, you’re going out today?”
The soldiers on duty at the gate were still the same few from before.
“Yeah, heading out to scavenge some supplies.”
Wang Tao rolled down the window and said with a smile.
“Let me register you first…”
The other party brought over a form, and Wang Tao wrote down his name and date. Then he looked at the rifles on the soldiers and suddenly asked:
“Is there a way for ordinary folks to get their hands on rifles?”
The list of exchange items you could get for Contribution Points at the base only included pistols and pistol bullets, not rifles.
“For now, that’s not possible. Currently, only we in the Security Army are assigned rifles, and even the police only have pistols. Ordinary people? That’s even less likely. Besides… having a gun isn’t always a good thing!”
The soldier’s expression was somewhat melancholic.
“When I see zombies outside, my first instinct is to shoot, but I have to restrain myself. Because I know that firing a gun can kill a zombie, but it will attract even more of them! It’s better to use long knives or spears… Being armed with a gun but not daring to use it is really frustrating!”
Wang Tao understood this feeling because he himself had a pistol, even equipped with a silencer. But he had only used it once, which was when he had no choice but to kill a Big Hammer Zombie.
Under normal circumstances, he definitely wouldn’t use a gun, since he was alone without teammates. Attracting too many zombies was something he couldn’t handle, particularly with the recent emergence of “Mad Demon” zombies posing too much of a threat to him alone.
Wang Tao wanted a rifle not necessarily to use it but also as a collector’s item. After all, which man doesn’t like guns?
“Actually, I’m quite envious of you. With your build… I reckon you could chop down zombies in just a few hits, right?”
The soldier looked at Wang Tao’s muscles and said enviously.
“Haha, more or less.” Wang Tao smiled and said, “Then I’m heading out.”
“Stay safe!”
The soldier waved, and the base’s gate slowly opened.
Wang Tao gave a thumbs-up in response.
Once the vehicle left the base, whether it was psychological or not, he immediately felt an inexplicable pressure.
After discerning his direction, Wang Tao set off toward the clinic.
He could go anywhere to kill zombies and gather materials, so taking a trip to the clinic was not a problem.
Humming-
After turning a corner, he encountered a zombie ahead.
Wang Tao floored the accelerator and drove straight towards the zombie.
Bang-
The zombie was first knocked down and then had its head crushed by the car’s wheel, killed instantly, and a bundle burst forth. With a thought, Wang Tao picked up the spoils.
[Obtained: Rope xi]
Without stopping the car, Wang Tao continued forward.
Seeing the head-exploded corpse in the rearview mirror, Wang Tao suddenly thought of something.
The zombies he crushed with his car or shot dead counted as his kills. But the ones he burned to death with Molotov cocktails did not count as his kills…
“I wonder what the difference is… I’ll take this opportunity to gather materials and study it a bit…”
Zombies seemed endless, and the road Wang Tao traveled was the same one he had taken the day before yesterday, by which time there had been no zombies.
But now… Looking at the large mass of zombies staggering in the rain on the street, Wang Tao shook his head, planning to take a different route.
“Hmm?”
However, before leaving, Wang Tao suddenly spotted a Suicide Bombing Zombie in the midst of the group, its chest organs exposed!
“Hiss—Should I make a move…”
Wang Tao was tempted..
