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

Chapter 503: Chapter 218: White Bone Standard Crossbow (Last Day of Double Monthly Tickets)_3

“Little Feng, we’re done for! We owe too much, I don’t even know if we can ever pay it back…”

“Then why did you still buy on credit! We’ve come this far without those things before. We might not necessarily need them…”

Lu Yingfeng was relatively calm compared to others.

“…” Lan Yulian gave Lu Yingfeng a somber glance, “If we really can’t pay it back, then I… I’ll just sell you to him! I believe you can fetch a good price!”

“?”

…

Wang Tao and his group had killed quite a few zombies again, but they hadn’t encountered any Level 3 Zombie Lords since.

However, it wasn’t easy because those Level 3 Elite Zombies were also very strong and were not the weakened version of the Level 3 Elite Zombies they had faced before.

Wang Tao guessed that if there was a progenitor, these formidable Level 3 Elite Zombies should have been cultivated by it, while the weakened version of the Level 3 Elite Zombies were probably cultivated by Zijin Base and the prison. As for where the Level 3 Ordinary Zombies came from, Wang Tao wasn’t very clear…

While they were killing zombies, they received a call from the General. He asked Lan Yulian how long she thought it would take to get back to Zijin Base.

From their current location, even though they could receive signals from Zijin Base, they couldn’t send messages back. Therefore, they couldn’t send out a distress signal and could only hope for Lan Yulian. After all, out of the five squads, only Lan Yulian’s Fourth Squad was outside while the other three were trapped in the diving gym…

Lan Yulian explained that a lot of zombies had run out of the sports center and it was very dangerous outside. Her team members were also injured… So, it was estimated that returning to Zijin Base would take quite some time.

Hearing Lan Yulian’s words, the General was silent for a moment before he directly said:

“Although we have suffered heavy losses in this operation, we have also killed quite a few zombies. I still have some Crystal Cores that I can’t use for the time being. If you need them, feel free to take them.”

It must be said, speaking to smart people really saves effort.

Lan Yulian, even though she was a bit shy, didn’t hesitate to ask for a good number of Crystal Cores. This wasn’t for her, but to repay Wang Tao’s debt!

“General, please rest assured, I will be back at Zijin Base soon!”

Lan Yulian gave a guarantee that wasn’t exactly a guarantee, and the General didn’t say much else, only that when they met, he would present the Crystal Cores in person.

“Wang Tao, do you think he will willingly hand over the Crystal Cores?”

Lan Yulian turned to Wang Tao beside her.

“I don’t believe a word of it.”

Wang Tao snorted.

The premise for honoring a deal is that there must be rules to bind it, or the other party is stronger than you, or your strengths are comparable, or you are really trustworthy…

In the post-apocalyptic world, all other conditions can be ignored, only strength is of utmost importance.

And Zijin Base’s strength is much greater than that of Lan Yulian’s clubhouse. Besides, Zijin Base has already suffered heavy losses; if they gave Lan Yulian a lot of Crystal Cores, then they would be at a severe loss.

Of course, maybe the General really is trustworthy, but there’s no need to bet on it. If the bet is lost, it might not be a question of whether the Crystal Cores can be obtained, but whether the other party will make a move against you.

“I feel the same way.”

Lan Yulian also nodded; she didn’t believe it either.

“Let’s head back for now and discuss it after Nie Siyan and the others wake up.”

“Yeah!”

The three of them hurried back in the evening.

Everything in the building was as usual; nothing unexpected had happened.

Nie Siyan and Xu Xiaojun were both quietly sleeping. They started their Ascension last night and wouldn’t wake up until this evening.

“Brother~”

Jiang Shixue came over and gently hugged Wang Tao.

She had spent most of her time with Wang Tao previously, and not seeing him for just a whole day made her a bit missful.

Wang Tao ruffled her hair, then called Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng to join them for dinner.

After the meal, Lan Yulian and her companion didn’t leave, but instead consulted Wang Tao about Ability matters.

Wang Tao had given Lan Yulian a [Healing Light] Crystal Core yesterday, which she hadn’t yet fused with, and she was ready to do so right then. She also wanted to ask Wang Tao if he had any other Crystal Cores to recommend to her.

Wang Tao recommended a [Running] Crystal Core to her.

Running is a Passive Ability that increases running speed.

Since she is a healer and all three of her Abilities are related to healing, it would be better for her fourth Ability to be one that could save her life.

There are many life-saving Abilities, but Wang Tao thought that she didn’t need the hardness to resist damage that [Iron Skin] provides; instead, she needed an Ability that could help her dodge damage.

As long as the zombies can’t catch up to her, then she is always safe. If they catch up… with her lack of attack power, even the strongest defense would eventually fail.

Lan Yulian also felt this was feasible, so she fused with the Crystal Core Wang Tao had given her and successfully increased her Running by +10.

Wang Tao then gave her a Level 3 Ascension Crystal Core, upgrading her Running Ability to Level 3. Her running speed was now very fast, and zombies below Level 3 weren’t able to get close to her. Only those Level 3 Zombies that are good at speed, or the ones that can launch those unpredictable spirit or illusion attacks, can touch her.

Not long after Lan Yulian successfully fused with these Crystal Cores, Nie Siyan was the first to wake up.

“Brother Wang!”

Seeing Wang Tao, Nie Siyan immediately ran over and respectfully knelt on one knee in front of Wang Tao. She wanted to let Wang Tao know that even though she had reached Level 3, she remained very loyal to him.

Wang Tao glanced at Nie Siyan’s Attributes.

[HP: 30000/30000]

[Mana: 13600/13600]

[Grade: Level 3]

[Internal Impurity: 5%]

Her HP increased by 1 point, reaching 30,000. Her Mana increased by 1,200, successfully integrating a Level 3 Crystal Core, which can increase Mana by 400. Four Level 3 Ascension Crystal Cores total 1,200, now reaching 13,600.

Last is the Internal Impurity; she previously had 10% Internal Impurity, but after the Level 3 Ascension, the impurity was halved again, dropping to 5%.

“Not bad.”

Wang Tao patted Nie Siyan’s head and told her to stand up.

“Brother Wang, I can’t believe it, I’ve really reached Level 3! I’ve never felt so strong before — of course, I am still not as strong as Brother Wang!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Nie Siyan was so excited that she was almost at a loss for words.

The other two ladies also looked very envious. Lu Yingfeng had the chance to ascend to Level 3 quickly, but it would be harder for Lan Yulian, who guessed she might have to wait a long time…

Wang Tao asked Nie Siyan about her feelings after her Level 3 Ascension, and at that moment, Xu Xiaojun also woke up.

“Brother Wang!”

Xu Xiaojun also ran over with an excited expression, kneeling on one knee before Wang Tao.

[HP: 30000/30000]

[Mana: 16600/16600]

[Grade: Level 3]

[Internal Impurity: 5%]

[Hidden Attribute: Stick to One’s Heart]

Xu Xiaojun’s Mana was significantly higher because he had consumed [Tree Essence] three times, which added an additional 3,000 Mana. His Internal Impurity was also halved.

“All very good!”

Wang Tao patted Xu Xiaojun’s shoulder approvingly, then said to the group with a smile:

“Tomorrow— no, tonight we go out and see the strength of you Level 3 ability users. And by the way, let’s collect some protection fees at the water park.”
