Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot
Chapter 731: Iron TorrentOutside, there were still a large number of zombies, and the survivors were somewhat afraid, but the presence of the military gave everyone a strong sense of security, so no chaos ensued.
The survivors, with nervous and excited hearts, slowly made their way towards the train under the protection of the military.
Now that it was fully light, there was no worry about not being able to see the path.
At that moment, a cry of alarm suddenly came through Duan Xuchang’s earpiece.
“Captain! A Giant Zombie has been spotted—”
“Where is it!”
Duan Xuchang’s face turned solemn. On their way here, they had specifically scouted for any Giant Zombies and found none. Had it come from somewhere else? If there were a Giant Zombie, it could be problematic to bring these twenty thousand people back unharmed!
“Er… it’s not a live one, Captain; it’s the corpse of a Giant Zombie!”
“…”
After confirming the location, Duan Xuchang hurried over to take a look.“It really is the corpse of a Giant Zombie that’s been scorched! However, this Giant Zombie’s size is much smaller…”
But even smaller, it was still a Giant Zombie, whose physical abilities are unmatched by any other zombies discovered so far!
To kill such a zombie, even for a fully armed military force like theirs would be troublesome. And if they were still on a protection mission, like now, there could have been casualties.
Thankfully, the Giant Zombie was already dead.
After ensuring there was no danger nearby, Duan Xuchang returned to the squad.
“Comrade Wang Tao, you… killed a Giant Zombie?”
“Yeah, we killed it before you arrived. But it was a smaller Giant Zombie, its strength should be much weaker than the larger ones.”
Wang Tao explained.
During his battle with the Giant Zombie, he had covered a large area. Moreover, Wang Tao had intentionally lured the Giant Zombie deep into the mass of bodies, so Duan Xuchang and his team did not notice it right away when they arrived.
“Impressive!”
Duan Xuchang exclaimed in admiration.
Regardless, it was a bona fide Giant Zombie. Killing one was no small feat. Moreover, judging by the appearance of Wang Tao and his company, it seemed they hadn’t paid too high a price.
These survivors… were truly strong!
What Duan Xuchang didn’t know was that this Giant Zombie had actually been killed by Wang Tao alone. Furthermore, before killing the Giant Zombie, Wang Tao had also killed five Level 4, Zombie Lords!
…
Boom!
Ratatatat—
Amidst the roar of gunfire and the blasts, the squad advanced slowly yet resolutely.
Leading so many survivors indeed slowed down the squad’s pace. However, the military’s firepower was fierce, and their defense was strong. These zombies, still made of flesh and blood, could not stop everyone’s advance.
“This sense of safety… is something we couldn’t even dare to dream of before!”
Among the group, Wang Tao and his companions couldn’t help but remark.
“Indeed.”
Wang Tao nodded.
He had always been the one protecting others before, but now he was getting a taste of being protected, and he couldn’t deny that it was quite enjoyable.
Of course, he didn’t let down his guard, constantly observing the surroundings. Until they reached Changhe City Base, anything could happen, so he couldn’t be too happy too soon.
Suddenly, Wang Tao turned his head to look into the distance.
And saw countless frenzied figures rushing towards the squad!
“A large number of Mad Demon Zombies are attacking!”
“Soldiers are yelling a reminder,”
obviously meant for Wang Tao and his group, given their use of wireless communication.
The team temporarily halted their advance, assuming defensive positions on the spot.
If it were just their own soldiers, they would definitely have steamrolled their way through. But now, they’re still protecting over twenty thousand people. The formation isn’t as tight as it was before, with gaps present. The safety of these survivors had to be taken into account.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The tanks pivoted their barrels and blasted towards the Mad Demon Zombies.
For a moment, the earth shook and the mountains trembled.
The power of the tank’s main gun was undeniable; no intact bodies were left within the explosion radius.
However, there were simply too many zombies now! The group of Mad Demon Zombies were intermingled with Ordinary Zombies, and though the tank fire killed many, some Mad Demon Zombies still rushed over.
Whirring—
Then the gunfire ceased, and several Powered Armors walked over.
Faint blue light emitted from their backs and legs, and then they surged towards the group of crazed zombies, as if they had hit the acceleration button.
The Powered Armors carried numerous weapons, including Gatling guns, as well as other firearms and melee weapons.
Upon diving into the zombie horde, they pulled out large cleavers, spears, dual blades… each one had different weapon styles, but all were sparking with electricity.
“Huh?”
Wang Tao was taken aback, not expecting the Powered Armor’s weapons to be electrified.
Thanks to their high Defence, the Powered Armors didn’t need to take any defensive actions after entering the zombie mass, as no zombie could breach their defense; they just needed to attack.
For a time, arcs of electricity flashed.
This was a one-sided slaughter.
A short while later, all the Mad Demons were disposed of, and the Powered Armors returned unscathed.
“Continue advancing!”
Duan Xuchang waved his hand, and the team resumed their organized advance.
“Those Powered Armors are so powerful! I really want one!”
Watching the Powered Armors, Xiang Hongbin almost drooled.
The Powered Armors could attack from a distance or engage in close combat, had high Defense, and they didn’t even need to lift their legs to walk! Plus, from what he observed, they might also have various functions, like Fire Resistance, Poison Resistance, and Noise Reduction!
Getting inside one of those Powered Armors would be far better than the hard life they led as ordinary Ability Users!
“Definitely strong!”
Wang Tao nodded, then said in a low voice,
“When we reach Changhe City Base safely, I’ll see if I can snag a couple!”
Wang Tao was not immune to the lure of such big toys.
Duan Xuchang mentioned these were mass-produced Powered Armors. Without a significant production volume, they wouldn’t count as mass-produced. If there was a substantial number, there surely would be a way to get some. Ultimately, it was just a matter of what price one was willing to pay.
“Haha, alright! We’ll wait for your good news then!”
The few chatted quietly among themselves.
After that, the journey went smoothly for a while, and as the sound of cannon fire died down, they beheld the “Black Dragon” lying on the railroad tracks in the distance.
“Whoa! Is that the train they mentioned? It’s huge!”
