Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 426 - 193: Sent to Prison_1

Chapter 426: Chapter 193: Sent to Prison_1

Wang Tao hadn’t fought Ability Users very often, but now he realized that in certain specific situations—like when someone was being deceptive, Ability Users of the same rank were easier to deal with than zombies.

Because Ability Users had too many weaknesses.

After all, Ability Users were still humans; their entire bodies had weak points. But zombies only had one weakness: their heads.

Take Huang Heng, for example.

[HP: 120/21300]

[Mana: 1930/3400]

[Grade: Level 2]

[Internal Impurity: 63%]

Huang Heng’s attributes weren’t weak by any measure, with twenty thousand HP. If a zombie had these attributes, Wang Tao couldn’t have possibly killed it with a single strike.

But under the effects of a Weakness Potion and a sneak attack, Huang Heng was immediately knocked out by a blow from Wang Tao’s ax, without any ability to fight back.

After knocking him out, Wang Tao immediately tied Huang Heng up with a chain and then along with Xu Xiaojun, they beat him up ruthlessly.

Huang Heng kept falling in and out of consciousness from the beating.

It wasn’t that Wang Tao enjoyed torturing people; it was just that he needed to leave Huang Heng critically injured.

Soon, Huang Heng was beaten until only a sliver of HP remained, and his limbs were directly broken. He was completely incapacitated from posing any threat to Wang Tao.

Wang Tao had no psychological burden in dealing with someone like that.

The people from this arcade weren’t good people, including the Ordinary folks; they were all engaged in trickery and deceit. Even if he had to kill all of these people, Wang Tao wouldn’t feel the slightest guilt.

He kept Huang Heng alive only because Wang Tao wanted to extract more information, as after all, he was the boss of the Skull Club and knew more than others.

“You, what do you… want… I’ll give you everything…”

Huang Heng was far more sensible than his brother, continuously begging for mercy once he realized resistance was futile.

Looking at Huang Heng, who had been beaten beyond recognition, Wang Tao said indifferently,

“I ask, you answer.”

“I’ll answer, I’ll answer…”

So, Wang Tao asked a lot of questions.

When he felt that he couldn’t squeeze anything more out of Huang Heng, he turned his attention to Nie Siyan, who was trembling with fear at the side, and gave her a “you know what to do” look.

“…”

Nie Siyan swallowed hard and picked up the ax somewhat shakily.

Huang Heng seemed to have a premonition and, kneeling on the ground, he turned his head with difficulty, looking at Nie Siyan with confusion and anger.

He didn’t understand; though he had been somewhat neglectful of Nie Siyan, he hadn’t treated her badly, so why was Nie Siyan colluding with others to kill him?

Until now, he failed to realize that it wasn’t Nie Siyan who was colluding with others but that he had kicked an iron plate when he sent Nie Siyan out to deceive and trick people!

Nie Siyan could hardly bear to meet Huang Heng’s gaze. Closing her eyes, she swung the ax down onto Huang Heng’s neck.

Pu-chi!

“Bitch…”

After spitting out his final words, Huang Heng collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Clang—

Nie Siyan dropped the ax, her expression dazed.

No matter what, she and Huang Heng had been husband and wife for many years, and had fought side by side since the apocalypse began. But now, she had executed her own husband with her own hands…

Wang Tao didn’t bother with Nie Siyan; he looked at Huang Heng’s body with some anticipation, figuring that with such a high level of Internal Impurity, there was a high chance he would turn into a zombie.

Wang Tao took out his walkie-talkie and called Jiang Shixue over.

He had left Jiang Shixue in the car to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. Now that the situation was resolved, there was no longer a need for that precaution.

It was time for Jiang Shixue to come over and hold the fort. After all, Wang Tao wasn’t certain whether Huang Heng would turn into a Level 2 Zombie or a Level 3 Zombie.

Jiang Shixue didn’t take the usual path; she climbed in through the window like a ghostly figure, silently appearing beside Wang Tao without anyone else noticing. If Wang Tao hadn’t been able to detect her through Plant Affinity, he might not have been aware of her. After reaching the upper limit of Level 2 HP, Jiang Shixue had become even stronger.

After waiting for a while, Huang Heng’s body suddenly started to convulse.

Upon seeing a red HP bar slowly appearing above his head, Wang Tao waved his hand, and the three of them struck simultaneously.

Moments later, Huang Heng’s 29999 HP dropped to zero.

Following this mutation of Huang Heng and combining it with previous observations, Wang Tao had roughly deduced a pattern of Ability Users turning into zombies—

When humans turned into zombies, their HP and Mana would double. If it hadn’t reached the current level’s upper limit, it would reach that limit. If it was already at the upper limit, then it might turn into a higher-level zombie!

Simply put, a 10,000 HP Ability User would grow to 20,000 HP upon turning into a zombie; a 20,000 HP Ability User after mutation would reach 29,999 HP, and a 29,999 HP Ability User would become a 30,000 HP Level 3 Zombie!

Too bad Huang Heng didn’t have 29,999 HP; otherwise, the rewards from killing a Level 3 Zombie would have definitely been greater…

After the zombie was dealt with, Wang Tao told Xu Xiaojun to dig out the Crystal Core.

Huang Heng himself had plenty of Crystal Cores on him, both Level 1 and Level Two. He hadn’t kept all his Crystal Cores at home.

Wang Tao collected all the Crystal Cores and then turned to Nie Siyan, contemplating how to deal with the Skull Club.

Initially, Wang Tao had planned to head directly to the military base in Wuyang City, but after receiving the news that Wuyang City was very dangerous, he decided to stay a few more days in Zijing City to strengthen his abilities before going to Wuyang City.

Since he would be staying in Zijing City, he naturally needed a place to settle in.

The arcade was decent enough, and Wang Tao wasn’t fussy; as long as there were some defensive measures and a bed to sleep in, it would do. But there were others in the Skull Club…
