And that plump female nurse zombie suddenly grabbed the body of the little old man zombie, hugged its waist, and did a 360-degree spin before she let go, throwing the little old man zombie towards Wang Tao.
“What the fuck! Is this how you take care of patients?”
Wang Tao cursed audibly, zombies that cooperate? And they could do that?
He didn’t know what ability the little old man zombie had, but since the plump nurse zombie was tossing him over, it indicated that its ability probably needed to be effective at close range.
Therefore, Wang Tao once again activated his Precision Shooting Ability, then gathered strength in his right leg. As the little old man zombie was about to land in front of him, Wang Tao kicked fiercely into the air.
Bang!
The little old man zombie hadn’t even touched the ground when it was kicked away like a ball by Wang Tao, flying straight towards the plump nurse zombie. The nurse zombie probably didn’t even react before getting hit by the little old man zombie.
Bang!
Both of them fell to the ground.
Then, the little old man zombie suddenly started coughing violently, and a yellow-brown smoke spewed out of his mouth, instantly enveloping both him and the plump female zombie.
Not knowing what the smoke was, it blocked Wang Tao’s and Han Rui’s view, preventing them from seeing clearly inside.
But Wang Tao could see the HP bars; he noticed both zombies’ HP bars dropped by more than 100, which was a minor injury for them.
Besides that, there wasn’t any continuous HP loss.
However, this couldn’t prove the smoke wasn’t poisonous, after all, the physiques of zombies and humans differ.
So Wang Tao simply took up his hand crossbow and started shooting wildly into the smoke.
Swoosh-
Swoosh—
Swoosh—
Wang Tao’s shooting speed was swift, and in a short while he had shot over ten arrows.
He just aimed at the position of the HP bars and fired right below them, not knowing if he hit his targets or not; anyway, just fire and be done with it.
From afar, Han Rui was somewhat dumbfounded, watching the haze of yellow smoke through the scope, and hesitated to pull the trigger.
She knew that she definitely couldn’t shoot accurately in this situation and might as well provide cover for Wang Tao to prevent other dangers.
Watching the HP bar inside the smoke, Wang Tao saw one of them dwindling to a sliver and then shot another arrow.
[-342]
[0/3200]
The little old man zombie died.
Splat—
Suddenly, the range of the yellow smoke widened! Before, the range of the yellow smoke was about a ten-meter diameter circle, but now it was at least fifteen meters in diameter!
Having killed another Elite Zombie, Wang Tao’s actions with the hand crossbow continued. After all, there was still one zombie within the cloud of yellow smoke.
Swoosh—
[-32]
[-360]
[-23]
[-30]
Double-digit damage indicated that he didn’t hit the head, but it didn’t matter;
Wang Tao had plenty of crossbow arrows to spend.
Thud, thud—
At that moment, footsteps came from within the cloud of yellow smoke, it seemed like the plump female nurse zombie was about to come out of the smoke.
But her pace was slow, stepping only once every few seconds.
Wang Tao kept shooting.
Finally, with the last arrow piercing through the skull of the female nurse zombie, the third Elite Zombie finally died.
“They’re all dead!”
Wang Tao waved at Han Rui, who quickly packed up her sniping crossbow and ran over.
“They’re all dead?”
Han Rui could hardly believe it.
From her perspective, Wang Tao had just shot wildly into the yellow smoke
and then claimed that the two zombies inside were killed?
If it wasn’t for her trust in Wang Tao, she would not have come over but would have continued to aim at the yellow smoke.
Yeah. Let’s wait a bit to see if the yellow smoke dissipates…”
Wang Tao first collected all the loot from the doctor zombie, then he and Han Rui hid in an abandoned car.
About a minute later, the cloud of yellow smoke finally disappeared.
Han Rui quickly looked over and, upon seeing the situation inside the yellow smoke, her eyes went wide.
The small elderly zombie and the obese zombie were like porcupines, with their bodies full of crossbow arrows!
But what killed them were the arrows in their skulls.
“That worked…”
Han Rui murmured to herself.
The yellow smoke was so widespread; how had Wang Tao managed to shoot so accurately? Although some arrows were shot onto the zombie bodies or the ground, they were mostly in the area of the zombies. It was obvious that Wang Tao had intentionally aimed there…
Han Rui didn’t understand the principle behind it, but she was greatly shaken.
Wang Tao seemed to know what she was thinking and explained with a smile: “When they were in the yellow smoke, they didn’t really move, so I just shot at their original positions.”
It’s true that they hadn’t moved much, which was a barely acceptable reason.
Wang Tao and Han Rui approached the two zombies, and Wang Tao pried out their crystal cores while Han Rui helped collect the crossbow arrows.
It took a good while for the two to collect so many arrows.
“Phew—”
Han Rui wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. She had been constantly using her perception ability to ensure there was no danger around, which was a bit tiring.
“There are still zombies in this building, elite zombies…”
Han Rui looked towards Wang Tao.
“Let’s rest for a bit before we go in.”
Wang Tao was also a bit tired. Although the fight hadn’t lasted long, he had been rapidly repeating the action of pulling the crossbow string; his hand was nearly smoking from the friction. He needed a little rest and to check the loot. He had to know what abilities these zombies possessed so he could be prepared for future encounters.
“Okay!”
The entrance to the outpatient building had a room that was locked, with no zombies inside. Wang Tao simply unlocked it, and they both entered.
Wang Tao looked at his HP bar. All three zombies were killed by him, and each zombie had added 60 HP to him. Wang Tao’s HP was now at[3i8o/3i8o]!
Then he turned towards his backpack.
First were the three zombie cores.
Wang Tao looked first at the elderly zombie’s crystal core, curious about just what the yellow smoke was.
[Level 1 Crystal Core-Coughing Smoke]
[Quality: Excellent (40%)]
[Purity: 50% (Side effect: Coughing)]
[Coughing Smoke: Consumes energy to release a cloud of smoke. Zombies within the smoke become stiffer in body, effectively slowing them down. Non-zombies within the smoke will continue to cough.]
“No wonder those two zombies hardly moved in the yellow smoke. It was body
stiffness, akin to being slowed down…”
Wang Tao suddenly understood.
This ability could serve as a decent area control skill. Just how potent the side effect of coughing was remained to be seen…
