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

Chapter 475: Chapter 209: The Third Hand_2

“I didn’t sense any powerful zombies. What about you?”

“I didn’t either.”

Jiang Shixue shook her head.

“That’s good.”

The commotion caused by the aircraft was significant, attracting a large number of zombies. If a Level 3 Zombie appeared without earlier detection, it might result in some casualties.

Although Wang Tao had not gone out, he was still “observing” his surroundings through his “Plant Affinity” hidden ability.

There were many plants around the square, all of which could serve as Wang Tao’s “eyes.”

After a while, all the airdropped supplies had been picked up.

“Retreat!”

Lu Yingfeng immediately called for everyone to withdraw.

At this point, many Mad Demon Zombies had been attracted. These Mad Demon Zombies were much stronger than ordinary zombies, but killing them had almost no benefits, so there was no need to delay.

Under Lu Yingfeng’s command, the convoy began to retreat in an orderly fashion.

“There are a few Level 2 Zombies. Siyan and Little Jun, go take care of them.”

Wang Tao had spotted some Level 2, Elite Zombies just then.

Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan’s HP was still far from reaching the pinnacle of Level 2. They definitely couldn’t miss this opportunity.

“Yes!”

The two immediately grabbed their weapons and ran over.

Apart from a few distinctively featured zombies, it was not easy to tell Level 2 Zombies from Level 1 Zombies by appearance alone.

Typically, it was the Second-order Superpower Owner who could differentiate. Because Ability Users had a faint Perception of energy, they could sense the approximate level of zombies or other Ability Users at a close range.

Of course, this method was not very accurate. For those with Hidden Abilities, or people like Wang Tao who had a restrained aura, it might not work. And, you had to be relatively close for it to be effective.

So, as for the surrounding zombies, everyone could only vaguely sense that there probably were no Level 3 Zombies. But it wasn’t so easy to tell which were Level 2 Zombies and which were Level 1 Zombies.

Thus, under Wang Tao’s command, Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan occasionally took down a few Level 2 Zombies.

Those at the clubhouse were somewhat envious, as ordinary Level 2 Elite Zombies were like experience packs for powerful individuals. They also wanted to kill, but such zombies were not easy to discover.

They all felt like Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan had radar, always finding the Level 2 Elite Zombies right away.

During their journey to avoid the large zombie horde, the convoy encountered a Level 2 Zombie Lord.

This zombie was much stronger than the typical Level 2 Elite Zombie.

However, under the joint efforts of Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan, they were able to successfully kill it.

After killing this zombie, Xu Xiaojun’s HP finally reached 29,999!

“Little Jun has basically reached the upper limit of Level 2 now, well done! If you want to continue to improve your strength, killing zombies won’t suffice—it has to be through Crystal Cores…”

Wang Tao first praised Xu Xiaojun before turning to look at Nie Siyan.

“Now only you are the weakling left.”

Nie Siyan felt slightly embarrassed. She was the one lagging behind everyone else in Wang Tao’s group.

Her HP was only at 15,000, half of the 29,999 HP limit.

“… Brother Wang, I will try my best!”

Nie Siyan quickly assured him.

“Next time we encounter a Level 2 Zombie, it’s your job to land the finishing blow. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

“Yes!”

Wang Tao then took out some Crystal Cores and gave them to Xu Xiaojun.

He had a lot of Level 2 Crystal Cores recently, and the types Xu Xiaojun needed weren’t too rare, so he had collected some. Moreover, they had all undergone Synthetic processing and were ready to be fused by Xu Xiaojun.

“Thank you, Brother Wang!”

Xu Xiaojun quickly expressed his gratitude.

By the time the convoy had completely evaded the pursuing zombies, Xu Xiaojun had finished fusing all the Crystal Cores provided by Wang Tao, and his Mana had reached 8,400, only 18 Crystal Cores shy of the 12,000 HP ceiling for Level 2.

“Wang Tao, I plan to take a break and then open the airdrops. What do you think?”

At that moment, Lan Yulian’s voice came through the intercom.

Strictly speaking, there was no need to inform Wang Tao about this matter since she was the chief commander. But by that time, Lan Yulian already held Wang Tao in high regard and harbored the idea of luring him to her side, so she would definitely show him great respect.

“Okay.”

Wang Tao nodded.

So, the convoy took a temporary rest in a park.

Lan Yulian gathered all the airdrops collected by everyone. As the chief commander, it was naturally her role to distribute these items.

Lan Yulian invited Wang Tao and his people over, then began to open the airdrops in front of them.

“Compressed food… medical supplies.. an Inhibitor! Very good… Crystal Core Synthesizer… Energy Detector… Hmm? What’s this?”

Lan Yulian had seen many of the items in the airdrops before, but there was something in one of the boxes she had never seen.

However, upon seeing that item, Wang Tao’s eyebrows raised.

“A Mechanical Arm?”

It was something that looked a bit like the Mechanical Right Arm that Xu Xiaojun had carried previously. However, it didn’t seem to be either a left or a right arm… to be precise, although it was a mechanical arm, it didn’t look wearable.

Wang Tao took the item out, and there was a manual inside. After skimming through it, he suddenly realized.

“This is a third arm!”

No wonder the Mechanical Arm seemed odd—it was a third mechanical arm that could be mounted on the back or shoulder!

And this third arm could be combined with the previous Mechanical Right Arm.
