Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 387 - 180 Colonel Luo_1

Chapter 387: Chapter 180 Colonel Luo_1

On the road, Zhang Hong initially didn’t want to ask, but couldn’t contain her curiosity.

“Could it be that my information was wrong? Or did you encounter some special circumstances, why did it take so long…”

“Your information was indeed incorrect, there weren’t just a few Level 2 Zombies but dozens of them.”

Wang Tao’s voice came through the walkie-talkie.

“Ah? Dozens of Level 2 Zombies! How did you survive that?!”

Zhang Hong was startled. With her current ability, although she couldn’t beat a few Level 2 Zombies, she could escape as long as they weren’t particularly powerful Level 2 Zombies.

But with dozens of Level 2 Zombies, she’d have nowhere to run!

“There wasn’t much danger because the zombies were all in the grass. I used gasoline to set fire to them and burned them all to death… ”

Wang Tao briefly described the situation, naturally hiding the specific details of his gains.

“…”

After hearing Wang Tao’s words, Zhang Hong was dumbfounded.

Burned to death… Dozens of Level 2 Zombies?!

How many Level 2 Crystal Cores could that be?!

Zhang Hong was always a decisive person, someone who doesn’t regret her actions, but now, she suddenly felt some regret—not for telling Wang Tao about the Level 2 Zombies but for not going with Wang Tao herself!

Back then, Wang Tao even asked her if she wanted to go with him. Considering her subordinates’ safety, she naturally didn’t go, since the Level 2 combat might have involved them.

But who could have expected Wang Tao would just start a fire and effortlessly burn all those Level 2 Zombies to death!

If she had gone with him at that time, she could have gotten at least a few Level 2 Crystal Cores…

Inside the off-road vehicle, Wang Tao listened to the silence on the other side and could not help but smile, saying:

“Boss Yang, are you feeling regretful?”

He wasn’t mocking her, just jesting a little.

Zhang Hong was straightforward, saying with a wry smile:

“…I do feel a bit of regret for not going with you. Next time, if there is another chance like this, please make sure to bring me along!”

“Haha, sure thing.”

Wang Tao laughed heartily.

“Ahem, about that… do you have any Level 2 Crystal Cores that you don’t need? I would like to buy one…”

Zhang Hong asked somewhat embarrassingly.

“I do have quite a lot of unneeded Level 2 Crystal Cores, and I feel quite a few of them would be suitable for you, but… what price are you offering?”

For his own people, the crystal cores Wang Tao had would certainly be free. However, for outsiders, he couldn’t give them out for free, even though he had many crystal cores now.

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s words, Zhang Hong sighed with relief temporarily. She had been worried that Wang Tao wouldn’t sell the crystal cores after all, they were Level 2 Crystal Cores, which were exceedingly precious since there were hardly any second-order superpower owners to find nowadays. As long as Wang Tao was willing to sell, she stood a chance.

But when she thought about the fact that these were Level 2 Crystal Cores, she realized she didn’t have anything of high value to trade, which made Zhang Hong fall silent… She had never felt so poor before!

“…I’ll think about it properly.”

Zhang Hong spoke in a low voice.

Wang Tao heard the helplessness in her tone and then said with a laugh:

“Okay, we can trade at any time. But to thank you for recommending this place to me, I can give you one for free… Let’s talk about it tonight.”

Even though Zhang Hong was still an outsider at the moment, she did inform Wang Tao about the place, so it was natural for him to express his gratitude.

“Ah? Thank you so much!”

Zhang Hong quickly expressed her thanks.

She was actually very interested in a shockwave crystal core, as she had never encountered a shockwave zombie before, nor seen this ability. Last time, when she saw Xu Xiaojun instantly kill a group of zombies with a single move, she was very envious.

However, since this was a crystal core Wang Tao was giving her, she had no reason to make demands, so she said no more.

On the other side, Wang Tao glanced at the crystal cores inside his Space Backpack. He indeed had a lot of Level 2 Crystal Cores, but he couldn’t possibly give Zhang Hong a shockwave crystal core since he needed them himself.

As for what exactly to give, he would communicate with Zhang Hong tonight to decide, after all, he still didn’t know what abilities Zhang Hong possessed.

The convoy did not travel quickly.

After all, the faster they went, the more noise they would make, which could attract some unnecessary trouble.

The journey was smooth, encountering only a few Level 1 Elite Zombies. Wang Tao and the other two didn’t take action; Zhang Hong’s people handled it instead.

Level 1 Elite Zombies could increase the HP limit and also provide crystal cores, which was a decent gain for them. Naturally, Wang Tao didn’t need to compete with them for these small gains.

At dusk, the convoy stopped outside a parking lot.

Zhang Hong was planning to set up camp here while the sun had not yet set.

“Based on our current speed, it should take us about four to five days to reach Zijing City,”

Zhang Hong said while coming to Wang Tao with a pancake, speaking while she chewed.

“Four to five days… That’s quite fast.”

Wang Tao nodded.

Having a vehicle made a difference; when he and Jiang Shixue had no car, it took them a long while just to walk from one town to another.

“What are your plans after reaching Zijing City?”

Zhang Hong asked again.

“Me? I might go look at the Survivor Base in Zijing City, if there is one. Then I plan to head to Wuyang City.”

Wang Tao answered.

“Hmm? Wuyang City?”

Zhang Hong was somewhat surprised, as although Wuyang City was next to Zijing City, there was still the distance between two cities, which was not close.
