“II”

After three seconds of stiffness in his body.

Boom—

The pickup truck’s engine roared as it quickly left the outer ring road.

It wasn’t until the trees in the rearview mirror were no longer visible that Wang Tao gradually slowed down and then parked behind a low building. “Huff-huff-”

Wang Tao gasped for breath, his back drenched in cold sweat.

“Good thing it didn’t follow, what the hell was that thing!”

The moment he had made eye contact with that thing, Wang Tao felt as if his blood had frozen. He wanted to move, but he was paralyzed!

If it hadn’t been for his strong will, forcefully pressing down on the accelerator, he might not have lived to see tomorrow’s sun!

“Definitely not a zombie, zombies don’t have that kind of intelligent look in their eyes! And my Stealth state was useless on it! Judging by its physique, it seemed more like a four-legged beast… Most importantly, it had ten thousand HP!”

“They say the city isn’t safe, but it seems the wilderness isn’t any better! Damn!”

Wang Tao’s face was pale.

He would rather face zombies than deal with this kind of unknown creature.

At least he could kill zombies, but facing this monster… Just thinking about the feeling of being targeted, he didn’t even have the courage to fight it!

I’d better hurry and get the airdrop. I’m not coming back here for such deadly business again!”

Wang Tao took a deep breath, rested for a short while, and then headed for the water treatment plant.

This road had been under repair before the virus outbreak and was quite empty for a long stretch, with no cars. But Wang Tao didn’t dare to drive too fast, fearing the noise would be too loud.

He proceeded with extreme caution. After about ten minutes, he finally arrived outside the water treatment plant.

The water treatment plant was in a remote location with few people coming and going, and access required a pass. Additionally, with a relatively good level of automation, it was said that there were only about twenty staff members, so the number of zombies inside should be low.

“I hope it hasn’t been picked up by someone…”

Muttering to himself, Wang Tao parked the truck in the empty space at the entrance of the water plant; it was deserted, with no cars or zombies in sight. After scouting around and seeing no issues, he finally took his weapons and got out of the truck, approaching the guardhouse.

“Heh heh…”

A silhouette in a security uniform lay inside the guardhouse, and as Wang Tao approached, it slowly raiseditshead.

Without a word, Wang Tao swung his Wolf Fang Club.

Bang!

Dark blood splattered everywhere.

[-231]

[179/500]

The zombie that had just steadied itself was knocked back.

Wang Tao stepped forward and swung two more times with his club.

[-245]

[-24]

[0/500]

The zombie’s head burst open.

In a one-on-one situation and well-prepared, Wang Tao found it basically effortless to kill an ordinary zombie.

Moreover, when he had previously reached 200 HP, that feeling of becoming stronger wasn’t an illusion! His physique had indeed improved-previously, his attacks on zombie heads would register a bit over a hundred HP, not counting child zombies with their lower defense. But now, each strike dealt over two hundred HP!

The maximum HP increased by 5 again, reaching [240/240]

[Received: Tape xi]

[Tape: Crafting material]

Another new material he hadn’t seen before, Wang Tao casually took it.

Wang Tao searched the body of the security zombie and the guardhouse, finding a walkie-talkie with no battery, a set of keys, and a rubber baton.

Having the keys meant Wang Tao didn’t have to bother picking the locks.

Click-

Clatter—

He slowly opened the metal gate, ensuring no zombies were approaching, and then drove the pickup truck inside.

The water treatment plant was vast, filled with water storage tanks. The water inside looked clean and seemed to be uncontaminated.

Wang Tao also surveyed the surrounding walls, thinking that maybe this place could be turned into a Survivor Base.

But the place was too big; without enough people to guard it, it certainly wouldn’t work.

“There it is!”

After wandering around the factory for a while, Wang Tao finally spotted the airdrop, located in a yard surrounded by iron fencing.

In the yard, there were some machines he didn’t recognize and a room with a closed door marked with “High Voltage Room, No Unauthorized Personnel Allowed.” It seemed to be a distribution room.

The no-longer-smoking airdrop was right by the door of the power distribution room.

Next to the airdrop were two zombies dressed in worker uniforms, wearing hard hats.

“Phew- finally found you!”

Wang Tao was somewhat excited. This airdrop was clearly unopened, and he was eager to see what was inside.

But before that, he had to deal with the two zombies in the courtyard.

Wang Tao looked at his HP bar below and noticed that the stealth state had half a minute left. He decided to wait for the state to expire before going in.

Because being in stealth mode made his body somewhat stiff, slightly affecting his movements, and it seemed to weaken his strength a bit.

Even with the stealth effect, if he got too close to the zombies, he would still be discovered. So it was better to wait and face the enemy in the best condition.

After all, these two zombies had 600 HP, more than any he had encountered before.

A minute passed quickly, the feeling of obstruction in his body gradually dissipated, his body temperature slowly rose, his heartbeat began to return to normal, and that rotten smell finally vanished.

Thump, thump-

Feeling the heartbeat and the strength in his hands, Wang Tao then got out of the car holding the Wolf Fang Club.

The lock outside the courtyard was open, saving him a lot of trouble. He pushed the door open and strode into the yard.

“Heh heh…”

The two zombies in the courtyard immediately came toward Wang Tao when they heard the noise.

Having lost the effect of the Stealth Potion, the zombies’ perception range of him was greatly increased.

Seeing one of the zombies enter his attack range, Wang Tao swung the Wolf

Fang Club and smashed it right into its temple.

Bang!

[-36]

[564/600]

The safety helmet burst open, but the zombie only lost a bit over thirty HP.

“This safety helmet is really good quality!”

Wang Tao complained in his heart, then swung his club down again.

[-165]

[399/600]

“Hiss! Its defense is much higher than ordinary zombies…”

Just at the door, Wang Tao dealt over two hundred damage to an ordinary zombie, but now he was only doing a bit over one hundred.

The zombie staggered backward from Wang Tao’s blows but didn’t give him a chance to finish it off as the other zombie stretched out its arms to grab him.

Wang Tao hurriedly switched targets.

[-33]

First, he shattered the other zombie’s safety helmet, then used the books on his arm to block a hit.

Taking advantage of the zombie grabbing his armguard, Wang Tao kicked it in the stomach.

[-3]

Although the damage was low, it sent the zombie flying.

Wang Tao didn’t bother with it anymore since the first zombie had already lunged at him.

[-171]

[-153]

Even though this worker zombie was tough, Wang Tao had fast attack speed and great strength. Two consecutive blows left it with just a sliver of HP.

Looking at the zombie now dazed, Wang Tao pulled out the Homemade Short

Spear from his waist and thrust it into its forehead.

Squish-

[-75]

[0/600]

Picking up its dropped loot casually, Wang Tao turned to the other zombie. He swiftly dispatched it too.

Wang Tao felt these worker zombies had more HP, higher defense, and greater strength than ordinary zombies—he had taken two hits to the chest from a zombie, losing 10 HP.

But each of those two zombies had added 10 HP to him, now he was at [250/260].

After collecting the loot, Wang Tao didn’t bother to inspect it closely and immediately went to the green airdrop box. With eyes sparkling, he looked at the massive box.

“Let me see, what good stuff is inside…”

Thud—Thud—

“Hm? What’s that noise?”

Just as Wang Tao was about to open the box, he suddenly felt some vibrations on the ground.

Bang!

The iron door of the power distribution room behind him suddenly flew out, heading straight for him!

Wang Tao instinctively protected his body with his arms.

Bang!

Crash—

His body slammed harshly against the iron railing.

A towering figure in work clothes, holding a Reinforced Concrete Hammer, emerged from the power distribution room….
