Chapter 351: Chapter 168 Ultraviolet Light_1
Pft!
Wang Tao swung his axe, dealing with the last zombie that was chasing them.
“Good, not too many zombies followed us…”
The explosion just now had been loud, and Wang had intentionally thrown a few Self-Destruct Bombs to divert the zombies’ attention. Plus, since the two of them had run fast, not many zombies had followed. The small group of zombies that did come was easily taken care of.
However, Wang Tao’s expression remained serious.
The zombies that had followed included Mad Demon Zombies. In the past, Mad Demon Zombies had an HP of 2000, but now, the HP of Mad Demon Zombies had reached 4000!
For him, Mad Demon Zombies with 4000 HP were naturally no threat. But what if the HP of the Mad Demon Zombies exceeded 5000, reaching Level Two? With the number of Mad Demon Zombies, that would be troublesome!
“Let’s go.”
Shaking his head, Wang Tao didn’t dwell on it any longer and headed to Fish Bay Camp with Jiang Shixue.
Xu Xiaojun had already built a simple cabin and put up some fences around it. Although it didn’t seem to have much defensive power, at least it kept the zombies out of sight.
Zombies also had vision, especially some powerful zombies that could see from afar. Some coverings were necessary.
“Brother Wang!”
Xu Xiaojun saw that Wang Tao and his companion were unharmed, and he finally relaxed.
The explosion earlier had frightened him greatly. He didn’t know where Wang Tao had gotten so many bombs, and he was terrified that Wang Tao and his companion might have been blown up. Fortunately, they returned safely.
“It will be night soon. Tonight we’ll just make do here and take turns keeping watch.”
Wang Tao looked at the sky and said.
“Okay!”
“Huh? You brought that fish over too?”
Wang Tao saw a big fish inside the cabin, which seemed to be the one he had caught earlier.
Wang Tao had thought about using the Blood-red Zombie as bait, so he had taken the fish as dinner. But, unexpectedly, the Blood-red Zombie wouldn’t show up, leaving no choice but to use bombs. After the explosion, they had to run, so the fish would have been wasted. But Wang Tao didn’t expect that Xu Xiaojun, who looked rough and tough, was actually quite considerate…
“Heh, I didn’t want it to go to waste, so I brought it over.”
Xu Xiaojun scratched his head.
“Alright, before it gets dark, let’s cook the fish!”
Wang Tao said with a smile.
Although Fish Bay Camp was in ruins, they could still find some pots and pans.
Wang Tao found a large pot, placed the fish Xu Xiaojun had prepared into it, and then added some Purified Water from his Space Backpack.
Seeing Wang Tao suddenly produce a jug of water, Xu Xiaojun was stupefied.
But he didn’t ask too many questions. It was the apocalypse now, and abilities like a storage space appearing were quite reasonable.
Without a lighter on him, Wang Tao shaved some wood shavings, took a stick, and began to make fire by friction. With his extremely fast hand movements, flames sparked to life in a moment.
The fish was large, and even after a lot had been discarded, there was still plenty of meat left.
Wang Tao made some of the fish into fish soup, and the rest into grilled fish.
If it was safe for the next couple of days, Wang Tao planned to catch a few more large fish and turn them into nutrient solution.
The food left over in the underground food store had already been turned into nutrient solution by Wang Tao. There were lots of nutrient solutions in his Space Backpack, but they were all rice-flavored, quite bland, so he needed other flavors to mix things up a bit…
Xu Xiaojun quickly set up a simple grill, and Wang Tao had him take care of grilling the fish.
Jiang Shixue looked at Wang Tao with longing eyes.
“You can help grill the fish, too.”
Wang Tao immediately shrugged.
“Okay~”
Joy spread across Jiang Shixue’s little face.
Wang Tao didn’t have many seasonings with him, just salt and chili. But that was enough; it was the apocalypse after all, no need to be too picky, it was good enough to be able to eat.
After the sun had set, both the boiled fish and the grilled fish were ready.
Wang Tao quickly extinguished the flame to avoid attracting zombies—large fires would repel zombies, but small flames might attract their attention. So it was better to be cautious, especially since there were two Level 3 zombies outside.
“It’s so fragrant!”
Jiang Shixue took a big sip of the fish soup and immediately praised it.
“Hmm, not bad.”
Wang Tao also thought it tasted quite nice.
He saw Xu Xiaojun holding his bowl in a daze, so he asked,
“Little Jun, aren’t you eating?”
“Oh oh, yes…” Xu Xiaojun snapped out of it, hurriedly took a sip of the soup, and ate a piece of fish meat. “Delicious!”
“Haha, if you like it, eat more.”
Wang Tao laughed heartily. This was an affirmation of his cooking skills.
“Yeah!”
Xu Xiaojun nodded vigorously.
He devoured the meal voraciously, and before he knew it, a tear dropped into his bowl.
If he remembered correctly, this was the first time since the apocalypse began that someone, besides Uncle Lu, had invited him to eat…
After dinner, Wang Tao asked Xu Xiaojun and Jiang Shixue to rest while he took the first watch.
With all the defenses of Fish Bay Camp gone and the big explosion at the food store, Wang Tao had to be cautious to prevent zombies from coming over.
While keeping watch, Wang Tao also took the time to check the loot from killing the Level 3 zombie today.
The fact that the Level 3 Blood-colored Zombie had no Crystal Core took Wang Tao by surprise.
It had Mana; in theory, having Mana meant having an Ability, and having an Ability should mean having a Crystal Core.
But it could also be an exception. After all, Wang Tao hadn’t seen it use any Special Ability; it relied entirely on physical Strength…
No Crystal Core then, no Crystal Core it is; there were still plenty of other gains.
Wang Tao looked at his HP.
His HP had increased by 4500! Now it was at [14450/14450]!
