Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1354 - 560 Light Element Awakening_2

If a single stack could reduce 10% of the light attribute defense, then four stacks would amount to 40%. Combined with his own light attribute attack, the damage numbers would definitely be terrifying.

As for the curse bleeding status on Zhao Yue’s body, it was also quite unusual.

The bleeding effects from general equipment and the curse-induced bleeding by Wang Tao usually lasted only a few seconds. However, the bleed effect from Zhao Yue’s curse still had over 3 hours left.

If, as Zhao Yue said, he was injured yesterday, then this bleeding effect probably lasted... 24 hours!

And just now, Wang Tao saw a "-50" popping up on Zhao Yue’s head every second.

That was a bit frightening—losing 50 HP per second, that’s 3000 HP per minute, 180,000 HP per hour!

If it were to last for 24 hours, who could survive that?

Even if Zhao Yue had 1 million HP, at most he could only withstand about five and a half hours.

Of course, this is assuming he had no means of regenerating blood. If there was a way to regenerate, that would be a different story.

The two people that were just following Zhao Yue were both third-order healing power users.

Silver Serpent Base didn’t have any Healing-type Awakeners, and third-order ability users were their strongest healing units.

With these two around, even though they couldn’t fully restore Zhao Yue’s HP, they could ensure he wouldn’t die from bleeding. As long as Zhao Yue could hold on for another three hours, the bleed status would be gone...

Lan Yulian could fill up Zhao Yue’s HP in a short time, but Wang Tao obviously wouldn’t do that.

After all, this Zhao Yue was not only someone who possessed a Summoning Altar and turned the high-level executives of the Silver Serpent to sacrifices, but he was also very likely a Master Sido from the Dusk Church!

Whatever his identity, Wang Tao had no intention of letting him go! Naturally, that meant he wouldn’t be healing him either.

Honestly, perhaps it was because "The darker under the lamp", Wang Tao had never even considered the possibility of Zhao Yue being a Master Sido from the Dusk Church.

After all, one was the top expert of the Silver Serpent Base, and the other was an existence that everyone in the Silver Serpent Base wanted to eliminate. How could they possibly be linked?

Now thinking back, there had actually been some information before, it was just that he hadn’t paid much attention.

For instance, Liu Bo had said that this Master Sido had just returned, and this top expert had just returned as well. They were both powerful and very mysterious...

Of course, it’s not too late to know this now. Wang Tao wanted to see what exactly Zhao Yue was planning to do.

But speaking of which, this Master Sido possessed a light system attack awakening, which seemed quite like a charlatan...

...

The place Zhao Yue was going was quite far, even by car it would take several hours.

On this trip, Ge Fuxing and others had extensive communication with Wang Tao via walkie-talkies, especially when they mentioned they had contacted Changhe Base, everyone was very excited. It was as if they had already seen a bright future.

Wang Tao also showed the appropriate amount of surprise and took the opportunity to introduce them to the situation at Changhe Base.

Zhao Yue was very silent in the car and did not participate in the conversation with the others. However, when Wang Tao mentioned Changhe Base, he took the initiative to ask Wang Tao many questions. Clearly, he was very interested in Changhe Base.

During this period, Ge Fuxing also asked Wang Tao why he had suddenly come back.

Wang Tao said he encountered a very strong Frozen Zombie on his way back. He couldn’t defeat it and had to abandon the supplies in the car, fleeing all the way back.

This reason was very plausible, as many people had been in similar situations.

However, the thought that even someone as powerful as Wang Tao needed to abandon his supplies and run, their excitement gradually subsided, and some who were thinking about sending a team to risk a journey to Changhe Base decided that the wilderness was still too dangerous, and they needed a long-term plan.

Wang Tao also asked about their objective for this trip, and Zhao Yue briefly explained.

He said he had gone on a long trip earlier and encountered a monster on the way back. He initially thought he could easily deal with it, but the monster hid its strength. He was somewhat careless, resulting in his injury.

If he fought with his full strength, he might defeat the monster, but he would also sustain serious injuries. In such an environment, a serious injury was tantamount to death... So he did not dare to take the risk and directly returned to base for reinforcements.

As to what exactly the monster was, Zhao Yue said he didn’t see it clearly; it was just a shadowy figure...

Hearing this, Wang Tao’s brows raised.

When he saw the curse bleed status on Zhao Yue, he had some speculation that the monster that injured Zhao Yue might be of the dark series. As far as Wang Tao knew, only the dark attribute applied curses.

Through Zhao Yue’s description, Wang Tao felt that this monster must belong to the Dark Series.

Wang Tao wasn’t sure whether Light countered Dark, or Dark countered Light, but since he was also of the Dark Series, he understood it better. Perhaps he would notice some things that others couldn’t...

As they communicated this way, several hours later, they finally arrived at the place Zhao Yue had mentioned.

It was a ruin of buildings. Although the snowfall was heavy and the snow on the ground was even deeper than the height of a person, they could still see the broken skyscrapers in the distance.

The vehicles stopped outside this ruined city; inside, the ruins were impassable for cars, so they could only proceed on foot.

Wang Tao’s appearance from the vehicle with two beautiful women caught everyone by surprise, but they didn’t inquire further. There were more pressing matters at hand.

Wang Tao looked at the ruins of the city in front of him and frowned.

It was obvious at a glance that the city had suffered widespread bombing.

As everyone knows, using weapons of mass destruction to kill zombies had both advantages and disadvantages. Because if even one zombie is left unscathed, it might mutate.

The strength of mutated zombies is terrifying. According to military records, during one of the nuclear explosions at the outset of the Apocalypse, a zombie that survived mutation seemed to have already possessed the strength of a fourth-order Awakener.

At that time, a fourth-order Awakener could basically be considered invincible. The military paid a hefty price to kill this mutated zombie.

Thus, after discovering this, the military tried to avoid using heavy weapons against zombies. Unless they were 100% certain they could wipe them all out in one go, otherwise, if a single zombie escaped, it would lead to endless trouble.

The state of this city suggested that it was bombed on a large scale before this issue was identified by the military.

This also meant that within this city, there might be mutated zombies that survived the explosions!

In the early days of the Apocalypse, such mutated zombies could possess the strength of third and fourth tier. If they had survived until now, how strong would they be? Could they have reached the seventh level?

Wang Tao licked his lips, a hint of battle intent gleaming in his eyes.

Current sixth-rank Lords were no longer a match for him.

Unless the opponent was above a sixth-rank Disaster, but such level monsters were rare to encounter. The last time Wang Tao encountered one, it was already heavily wounded and he easily disposed of it.

Wang Tao was actually somewhat eager to encounter a more formidable opponent.

Of course, the Summoning Altar doesn’t count. The monsters from inside there are believed to be of the Seventh Rank of Destruction. Wang Tao was self-aware; he knew he couldn’t possibly defeat a seventh-rank disaster level opponent.

But if it were a Seventh Order Lord, that would be different...

According to Wang Tao’s experience, the strength of a Disaster level was equivalent to a Lord one order higher, so the power of a Seventh Order Lord should be about the same as a sixth-rank Disaster?

If a Seventh Order Lord level monster appeared, Wang Tao felt that he could possibly handle it...

"Let’s go, let’s head in."

Zhao Yue beckoned and took the lead at the front of the group, with two third-order healing power users closely following behind.

Wang Tao followed Ge Fuxing and the others into the heart of the ruined city.

Zhao Yue led everyone swiftly through the ruins. They were either lucky or Zhao Yue was familiar with the place, as they did not encounter Frozen Zombies along the way. Even upon seeing some small zombie herds, Zhao Yue could lead the group quickly around them, as if returning to familiar grounds.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

It was a large shopping mall, with most parts covered in heavy snow, but not the entrance. Looking through the entrance, it was pitch dark inside, extremely eerie.

Many involuntarily shivered.

Wang Tao took a deep breath. He could clearly sense that the darkness attribute inside was extremely dense, at least ten times denser than in those Rifts!

Perhaps... there really was a Seventh Order Lord inside?

"Stay close to me."

A warm white light suddenly radiated from Zhao Yue’s body.

As he stepped into the doors of the mall, the dark mist dissipated as though meeting its natural enemy, quickly scattering in all directions.
