“Indeed, it doesn’t increase the HP limit anymore…”
Gazing at the three corpses on the ground, Wang Tao shook his head as he looked back at his own HP of 1000.
He collected all the damaged and bloodstained food from the convenience store, then carried the bag of food back home.
“Humming-”
With a buzz from the Food Compressor, the window of the machine opened to reveal the nutrient solution inside.
“It’s useful! But… the quantity is much less.”
Wang Tao compared and found that the nutrient solution made from contaminated food was several to even more than ten times less than that made from normal food, with most of it lost during the process.
“It’s a bit of a pity, but it’s not inedible! It’s a win as long as we can eat it!”
Ding Yuqin consoled him at the side.
“True, being able to eat is already good.”
Wang Tao nodded. Adhering to the excellent tradition of frugality, he planned to bring back all the damaged food from outside, as even the leg of a mosquito is still flesh.
“Later, I’ll continue to scavenge for supplies. Sister-in-law, you’re coming with
“Ah? I have to go out too…?”
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuqin immediately felt afraid.
“To make you stronger.”
Ding Yuqin really wanted to say that she didn’t want to become stronger, and that she was satisfied with life as it was. But she was afraid that saying so would make Wang Tao resent her.
Thus, Ding Yuqin started to use her ultimate tactic-acting coquettishly.
“Can I, can I not go…”
Looking at his sister-in-law shaking his arm while holding onto it, feeling the softness transmitted from his arm,
Wang Tao expressed with a smile,
“No.”
Wang Tao was not swayed by persuasion or by her soft approach, leaving Ding Yuqin with no choice but to go out with him.
Of course, before going out, Wang Tao equipped Ding Yuqin with protective gear, and then the two descended the stairs together.
Looking at the chaos and deadly silence outside, Ding Yuqin stayed close behind Wang Tao.
“The end of the world…”
Having stayed at home for a long while, it was Ding Yuqin’s first time stepping out of the residential complex. Feeling the quietness and desolation, it made her very uncomfortable.
Especially when she saw zombies on the streets, she was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Wang Tao.
Wang Tao, holding a hammer, walked leisurely to the zombies and tapped one on the head, not using too much force.
[-469]
131/500]
The zombie was knocked down and heavily injured.
“Attack!”
Wang Tao urged in a low voice. Ding Yuqin swallowed and, unwilling to disobey his command, gripped the spear and stabbed viciously towards the zombie’s head.
Thud!
[-31]
[0/500]
Seeing that Ding Yuqin’s HP increased by 5 points above her head, Wang Tao was instantly gratified.
Since he was going to scavenge all the materials around, he naturally had to ace these zombies. But killing ordinary zombies wasn’t adding to his HP anymore, making it feel somewhat wasteful.
Therefore, it was better to add some HP to Ding Yuqin-mainly because Wang Tao wanted to know if the effectiveness of her blood replenishing packs would strengthen after her HP increased.
Now that Wang Tao’s HP had reached 1000, Ding Yuqin could only replenish
100 HP for him daily, which still felt insufficient.
As for the items that Wang Tao obtained from killing zombies, he didn’t have an immediate need for them, so it could wait. If needed later, he could kill zombies to collect them, as he could easily take out ordinary zombies at that point.
After spending two days, Wang Tao finally scavenged clean all around the residential complex, and all the food that could be brought back was brought back.
Ding Yuqin’s HP also reached a solid 300.
Whether the increase in HP affected the healing ability or not, Wang Tao didn’t know for the time being, as he had been at full HP recently. But he knew that Ding Yuqin’s physical condition had improved a lot-many positions that she couldn’t withstand before, she could now let Wang Tao go a bit wilder.
Last night, there was a heavy rain.
It was a bit of a surprise for Ding Yuqin, given there had been no rain for a whole month, and the air was extremely dry.
The leeks and green plants on the rooftop were well watered, seeming to have grown overnight—wait a second!
“Sister-in-law, have you noticed that these green plants have gotten bigger?” On the rooftop patio, Wang Tao suddenly pointed to the green plants on the ground and asked.
“Not really… I think?”
Ding Yuqin’s tone was somewhat uncertain.
She almost came to check on these green plants every day, so logically, if they had grown, the change should not have been so apparent to her.
But now, she felt… as if they really had grown a bit larger?
You’re not sure? Then it seems they have gotten bigger!”
Wang Tao normally didn’t pay much attention to these green plants. Today, at a glance, he felt they had grown significantly larger!
Especially the chives that were cut just two days ago, which had already grown back halfway. Could the growth rate of chives be this fast?
Wang Tao looked at the drizzling rain in the sky, a bad feeling grew inside him. Could it be related to yesterday’s heavy rainfall?”
“Heavy rainfall? You’re saying that the rainfall promoted the growth of the plants?”
Ding Yuqin was surprised.
“There might be that possibility. Sister-in-law, you surely haven’t forgotten the three days of heavy rain before the apocalypse arrived.”
How could Ding Yuqin forget such a deeply engraved event? She spoke with some concern:
“Could it lead to something bad…?”
“I’m not sure, but it shouldn’t affect us for the time being.”
Wang Tao looked at his HP bar and saw no changes, nor did anything strange appear.
“Sister-in-law, put those sorted foods into the Food Compressor to make nutrient liquid. I’m going out again today.”
Wang Tao planned to collect gasoline and diesel today.
The food resources around the neighborhood had been scavenged clean, and Wang Tao felt that it might soon be time to leave, since no matter how much food he had, without replenishment it would be useless.
If they were to leave, with all the supplies he had to carry, including Ding Yuqin, the blood replenishing pack, walking definitely wasn’t an option; they would have to drive.
If driving, then the energy source definitely needed to be prepared in advance. However, Wang Tao hoped that it would be best to drive an electric car, since it made much less noise.
So today, while Wang Tao went out to look for gasoline and diesel, he also sought out electric cars. It would be ideal if he could find one. If not, he would have to make do with a pickup truck.
“Be careful!”
After Ding Yuqin helped Wang Tao put on his full protective gear, he headed downstairs with some empty oil drums.
Many abandoned vehicles on the street had caught fire, and naturally, their gasoline was gone.
Wang Tao’s destination was a small open-air parking lot on the next street, which he had scoped out with binoculars before. There were several intact cars there.
But upon arriving outside the parking lot, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
“Is that…”
Wang Tao saw a bloated, organ-exposed zombie.
[1000/1000]
An HP of one thousand wasn’t too high. But it was the most disgusting zombie he had ever seen, bar none.
“Clearly, it’s a special kind of zombie, but it’s not recorded in the military’s data…”
Wang Tao didn’t go directly towards it. Maintaining a certain distance, he threw a brick at the zombie.
Smack—
The sound made the zombie divert its attention, and upon spotting Wang Tao, it immediately started staggering over. Wang Tao readied himself for combat.’ But before it got close to Wang Tao, the exposed organs on its body suddenly started to pulsate, then swell.
Finally—
Bang!
With a loud explosion, it blew up, turning into a cloud of blood mist!
“Shit! Good thing I didn’t go closer!”
Looking at the scattered limbs and body parts on the ground, Wang Tao was relieved.
However, after spotting the pale blue Zombie Core among the bloodstains,
Wang Tao quickly ran over to pick it up.
I better leave quickly, or I’ll be surrounded by zombies—”
“Roar—”
Suddenly, chilling howls came from all directions.
Over a dozen seemingly Ordinary Zombies sprinted over from a distance. When they encountered some low obstacles, they actually leaped over them! They were even climbing cars and walls!
Fuck! They can climb walls too? Have the zombies evolved?!”
