Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Picking Up a Leak_l, Translator: 549690339, “Get away—oh no, save me!”, Han Rui flew out, her whole body aching, her head heavy., Upon seeing a figure before her eyes, her long career as a policewoman made her instinctively tell the person to get away. After all, that zombie was too terrifying, not something an ordinary person could handle., But as soon as she came to her senses and saw that the person was sitting in a car—and a car that had been reinforced with steel plates at that—she immediately changed her plea, asking the person to save her., Wang Tao didn’t immediately go to save Han Rui, nor did he leave. Instead, he grabbed the horned hammer and directly opened the car door to get out., Whoosh—, The rain outside was heavy, instantly drenching Wang Tao’s clothes., “You—”, Han Rui glared at the sizeable man before her., If he didn’t run now, it would be too late to try later! He couldn’t possibly believe he could beat that zombie, could he? With all those muscles?, Unfortunately, Han Rui’s entire body was in pain, rendering her unable to move. Otherwise, she would have grabbed the car to forcibly take the big man with her to leave., Wang Tao, of course, was unaware of Han Rui’s thoughts. He was actually looking for a special zombie, and lo and behold, one had come to him., Most importantly, the zombie was already severely injured!, 321
/1500, If he let such an opportunity pass, he would be cursed with thunderous retribution!, Wang Tao gripped the hammer in his hand, eyeing the zombie not too far away., This was a zombie over two meters tall, but with a deformed physique; its upper body on the right side was enormous, especially the right arm, which was almost half the size of Wang Tao. However, the left side of its body was shriveled, especially the left arm, which was smaller than that of a normal person. It was as if the nutrition from the right side was being diverted to supply the left side., The zombie’s body was riddled with bullet holes, and some black blood was oozing out from them., “Attacker…”, This kind of zombie was described in the military’s zombie files and was named an Attacker!, It was different from the Sprinters zombies. A difference of just one character in their names, but the strength of the two was absolutely more than ten times apart., When Wang Tao saw the zombie’s gaze turn towards him, he decisively ran away from the car., “Roar—”, From that somewhat deformed giant mouth of the Attacker, a roar emerged, and then lifting its right arm, it pushed off with its hind legs, charging straight towards Wang Tao., Boom-, Watching the colossal zombie charge towards him like a raging bull at high speed, Wang Tao abruptly rolled to the right side. The Attacker almost grazed Wang Tao’s body as it rushed past., Bang!, The Attacker crashed head-on into the opposite building’s wall., With a loud crash, it created a large hole in the wall filled with cracks, and a -3 appeared over the head of the Attacker, who seemed somewhat dazed by the impact., The Attacker’s mode of attack wasn’t biting, but ramming. Anyone hit by it would either be left with only half their HP if they didn’t die, and that was just for those with good physical fitness. Ordinary people wouldn’t stand a chance., Wang Tao felt that with his current strength, he might be able to withstand it, but it wasn’t necessary. So he dodged at an extremely fast speed., An Attacker could run straight for twenty to thirty meters in one charge, not stopping unless it hit a person or obstacle., And if it did hit an obstacle, there would be two possible outcomes: either it would smash the obstacle, or it would be stopped by the obstacle and suffer dizziness for a few seconds., The buildings on this street were all reinforced concrete, quite durable; they not only stopped the Attacker but also caused it to become dazed., Han Rui, leaning against the car, widened her eyes, filled with disbelief., “He actually dodged it!”, Only someone who had personally fought this zombie could understand the terror of its charge. From an observer’s perspective, the trajectory of the charge was visible. But if you were the one in its path, there was almost no chance to dodge!, Yet the big guy had actually managed to dodge it!, She had previously thought he was done for, but it turned out he was an expert!, She had misjudged!, Meanwhile, Wang Tao, taking advantage of the Sprinter’s moment of dizziness, hurried over and swung the hammer three times at its head., Bang! Bang! Bang!, -121, -124, -76, 0
/1500, Is it dead just like that?, Wang Tao was somewhat surprised, after all, this was a special zombie with 1500 HP. He had thought that there would be an exchange of blows between them., But then again, considering his greatly improved strength, it made sense that he could easily kill a special zombie that was already weakened., “Eh?”, Suddenly, Wang Tao’s face lit up with joy, because he noticed that his HP had increased!, He had gained 40 points, and it was now 1040
/1040!, Did this mean that killing ordinary zombies wouldn’t increase his HP, but killing special zombies still did?, Indeed, 1000 HP wasn’t the limit!, With a thought, the semi-transparent package dropped by the zombie entered Wang Tao’s Space Backpack., Acquired: Rush Right Arm Blueprint xi, Wang Tao didn’t bother to look at the loot; he hurriedly used the hammer to pry out the Crystal Core from inside the Sprinter’s head., It was a Purple Crystal Core named Rush, and without time to look closer, Wang Tao stashed it away and immediately ran back to his car., Han Rui’s mouth hung open the entire time, her face a picture of shock., After seeing that Wang Tao had dodged the zombie’s attack, she realized she had misjudged him. But watching Wang Tao take down the zombie with just three swings of his hammer, Han Rui was completely dumbfounded., She was aware of how formidable this particular zombie was; even when she heard the gunfire, she dared not make a sound for help. In the end, she was discovered and got knocked out cold., She tried to fight back, but it was no use! And then this man killed it with just three hammer blows…, What also surprised her was the efficiency with which Wang Tao extracted the Crystal Core; his actions were those of someone who had done this many times before!, So, he was an Ability User!, After Wang Tao returned to the car, noticing Han Rui’s unusual gaze towards him, he decided not to waste words, grabbed her arm, and threw her into the back seat of the car., “Uh… thank you…”, Han Rui grimaced in pain but didn’t show any dissatisfaction; instead, she sincerely voiced her thanks., Being rescued was a great favor in itself, she had no right to ask for more., Wang Tao glanced at her through the rearview mirror inside the car., “Buckle up!”, Upon hearing this, Han Rui hurriedly fumbled to buckle her seatbelt., Wang Tao forcefully stepped on the gas pedal., “Whir-”, The electric motor had strong torque, and coupled with the car being all-wheel drive, the vehicle instantly shot forward., Han Rui, inside the car, felt the powerful sensation of being pushed back against her seat, her eyes revealing a hint of surprise., “No wonder he dares to drive around by himself, it’s an electric car!”, The sound of an electric car is relatively quiet, plus it was raining heavily, so their chances of safely returning to the Survivor Base were high—Han Rui assumed Wang Tao was from the Shuize University Survivor Base, since it was close by., However, possibly due to the gunfire earlier, although there were no zombies on the commercial street, there were many of them after passing through the commercial area., For safety, Wang Tao deliberately took some detours., After spending several hours, they finally reached Shuize University in the evening., The present Shuize University was completely different from what he remembered. The walls around the campus had been raised significantly, topped with sandbags, shooting ports, and barbed wire, while the bottom was lined with anti-tank obstacles, trenches, and big iron barrels with burn marks… Just looking at all this gave one an immense sense of security., A sign hanging over the gate read “Shuize Base” in large characters., Wang Tao didn’t rush to enter, instead parking the car in a safe corner before turning his gaze to Han Rui., “Officer Han, shall we talk?”
