“I…”
Han Rui looked at her own hand, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She hadn’t expected to kill the Terrorizer in one hit!
Just a bump and a hack with an axe, that was all…
Wang Tao had dealt with a few ordinary zombies, then he approached Han Rui and circled around her.
Han Rui had no injuries, not a single drop of blood was lost. But her mana consumption was quite high. A single Rush had cost her 30 mana. With her current mana pool, she could only use it six times.
However, mana and HP are different. HP recovery is very slow, and if injured or starving, it might not regenerate at all.
On the other hand, mana would always slowly recover. It seems the recovery rate varies for each Ability User; like for Wang Tao, it would take roughly six hours to fully recover. Han Rui’s rate was similar to his.
“You aren’t hurt, are you?”
Even though he hadn’t seen Han Rui losing any health, Wang Tao still asked
out of concern.
“No…”
Han Rui quickly shook her head.
“Impressive!”
Wang Tao gave a thumbs up.
Han Rui was still a bit dazed.
After confirming there was nothing wrong with Han Rui, Wang Tao went to pry out the Purple Crystal Core from the zombie’s head.
[Level 1 Crystal Core ? Shockwave]
[Quality: Excellent (60%)]
[Purity: 50% (Side effect: light-sensitive eyes)]
Wang Tao had two shockwave crystal cores, one white (20%) and one blue (40%). With this crystal core, he could now synthesize another Epic Crystal
Core.
Wang Tao unceremoniously pocketed the crystal core.
“Let’s go.”
Back in the car, Wang Tao drove.
Han Rui took off her gloves and looked at her delicate little hand, suddenly started smiling joyfully.
She too was now someone who could instantly kill Elite Zombies!
“How do you feel now?”
Wang Tao asked with a smile.
“Amazing! I’ve never felt so great before! And I didn’t even get hurt, it’s truly miraculous!”
Han Rui clenched her fists, her little face full of excitement.
Wang Tao guessed it must be a special effect of the Ability, just as his own Shockwave Ability wouldn’t harm him. Han Rui’s Rush Ability probably couldn’t harm her either.
After being thrilled for a while, Han Rui looked at Wang Tao and said:
“I think you would be even more formidable using this Rush Ability…”
If with her strength she could instant kill an Elite Zombie with 1500 HP, Wang Tao, being stronger, would definitely cause even higher damage.
“No matter, if need be, we’ll just get another two Rush Crystal Cores,”
Wang Tao waved it off unconcernedly.
Han Rui was touched, but she didn’t speak further. After all, Wang Tao had given her an Orange Crystal Core!
But she was also determined in her heart to help Wang Tao obtain more Zombie Cores!
If they were after hunting Elite Zombies, naturally they should head towards places with more zombies. However, the more zombies there were, the greater the danger, so the two of them proceeded very cautiously.
Along the way, Wang Tao let Han Rui clear the ordinary zombies as much as possible. After all, clearing ordinary zombies would regenerate her health.
Wang Tao wouldn’t regenerate health, so it seemed a bit wasteful.
Soon, Han Rui’s health reached [700/700]
Feeling a significant improvement in her physical condition, Han Rui started looking at Wang Tao with eyes filled with tender feelings.
After all, he had deliberately let her have those gains!
“Hmm? Another Elite Zombie ahead!”
Seeing the situation in the alley ahead, Wang Tao cracked a smile.
Since the corrosive acid rain, many things in the outside world had been corroded, the plants had grown much larger, and the zombies’ HP had also generally increased. Similarly, the number of Elite Zombies had gone up. in the past, the chance of encountering an Elite Zombie was very low, but now, more running about would likely lead to encounters.
There were two Elite Zombies in the alley, one Self-exploder and one with a bloated belly.
[3000/3000H2500/2500]
The HP of these two zombies was not small, and their bodies were even more decayed.
Wang Tao suspected that zombies which had been drenched in the corrosive acid rain would see an increase in HP. Whereas those that hadn’t been rained on might not see much of a change.
These two zombies were clearly ones that had been in the rain. The Terrorizer that they had encountered in Gao Hua’s apartment building only had 1000 HP, likely because it hadn’t been touched by the rain.
“How do we kill this…”
Han Rui was somewhat eager to try.
After her strength had increased, she had also become a bit overconfident. Previously upon seeing a Suicide Bombing Zombie, she would flee as far as possible, but now she was thinking about how to deal with it.
“Try this…”
Wang Tao suddenly took out a yellow-green, sticky lump.
“Eh? What’s this?”
Han Rui asked curiously.
“Slime Grenade.”
This was loot he had obtained from killing Cao Xin. But Wang Tao had not had the chance to use it.
After returning to the base, he and Feng Ming’an had discussed it.
Feng Ming’an told him about a situation when dealing with a Self-exploding Zombie – Feng Ming’an had stealthily approached the Self-exploder and suddenly spit a mass of slime on it, forcefully immobilizing it!
In that situation, the Self-exploder couldn’t detonate at all!
Of course, the adhesion wouldn’t last long, Feng Ming’an said it could only hold for about a minute or so. But that minute was enough for them to kill the Self-exploder and escape.
Wang Tao thought that the effect of this Slime Grenade should be similar to Feng Ming’an’s Ability, so he decided to give it a try.
However, this time Wang Tao didn’t plan on letting Han Rui take action, because he wasn’t sure whether it would work.
If the grenade didn’t work and it led to the Suicide Bombing Zombie detonating, he was counting on Han Rui to drive him to safety..
