Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

"Forget it, let's head back."

Wang Tao shook his head.

He felt that his current state of mind was somewhat like He Jijun's.

As long as He Jijun hadn't found his granddaughter, he believed that there was still a chance she was alive.

As for Wang Tao, as long as he hadn't seen the corpses of Wei Zhenguo, Ding Yuqin, and Han Rui, there was also the possibility that they were alive.

"I hope you're still alive..."

...

After a while, the plane returned to Wuyang City.

It seemed to Wang Tao that there were even more zombies in the tide of the dead!

"Giant Zombie!"

Yang Changhong pointed to one side and exclaimed in shock.

Wang Tao followed her gaze and indeed saw a massive figure.

Among the enormous horde of zombies, the Giant Zombie was especially conspicuous. It seemed to be heading in an easterly direction, but due to the plane's arrival, its attention was drawn, and it began moving towards the aircraft.

"Let's go."

Without hesitation, He Jijun immediately pulled the control stick to make the plane climb upwards.

Even though the Giant Zombie couldn't catch up to a helicopter, there was no way it could reach this kind of fixed-wing aircraft. However, the Giant Zombie could throw things, and it threw with deadly accuracy. If it managed to hit the plane and bring it down, they'd be in big trouble.

The aircraft quickly climbed towards the sky and after entering the clouds, the Giant Zombie was soon out of sight.

Before they could even catch their breath, the cabin suddenly went dark, all screens and indicator lights went out, and the roaring engine noise of the plane disappeared in an instant!

"What's going on?"

Wang Tao was stunned for a moment.

He Jijun's face turned pale, but before he could say anything, everyone felt the plane suddenly shake violently, then plummet towards the ground!

Whoosh—

The plane was spinning!

Items within the cabin were flying chaotically! If it weren't for the fact that Wang Tao and the others were buckled in with safety belts, they'd have been flung out directly!

Feeling the world turning upside down, Wang Tao quickly yelled at He Jijun beside him.

"Old He! What's happening?"

"All electronic devices on the plane have failed! The engine has shut down! Equipment can't be restarted; there's no way to salvage this! We have to parachute! Quick! Gear up!

Jump!"

He Jijun shouted at Wang Tao.

"?"

Wang Tao was somewhat dumbfounded.

All electronic devices had failed?

The engine had shut down?

What the hell was going on!

But there was no time for hesitation now. Wang Tao waved his hand, and two black tendrils shot out from his wrist, instantly grabbing the parachutes fixed to the walls inside the cabin and pulling them over.

The plane kept spinning and shaking. He struggled to don the parachute on his body.

The others had no way of getting to the parachutes.

Seeing this, Wang Tao then used the Iron Tree Vines to get the parachutes and hand them over to them.

"Everyone put them on!"

He Jijun reacted the quickest. After receiving the parachute handed over by Wang Tao, he donned it in a moment, with great proficiency.

Next up was Xu Xiaojun, who was fully equipped today, with both mechanical arms in place. He simply used the third hand on his back to grab the parachute pack, securing it firmly without having to wear it. Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

But the others were much slower, after all, they were wandering around inside the plane and lacked experience in wearing parachutes.

Seeing this, Wang Tao again fetched a parachute and put it on himself. Then he had Jiang Shixue and the others unbuckle their safety harnesses one after another.

Before they unbuckled their safety harnesses, Wang Tao used the Iron Tree Vines to entangle them and pulled them into his arms.

Wang Tao held Jiang Shixue in his left arm and Yang Changhong in his right, while using two Iron Tree Vines to wrap around Lightning and Nie Siyan.

After ensuring everything was fine, he immediately unbuckled his own safety harness. Then he was flung out instantaneously, crashing towards the windshield.

Before smashing into the windshield, Wang Tao had activated the Entangling Roots to cover his body, and then he gathered strength in his right foot and delivered a fierce kick to the glass.

Crash—

The glass immediately shattered, forming a large hole.

Wang Tao, holding several people, was sucked out in an instant, followed by He Jijun and Xu Xiaojun being pulled out one after another.

Whoosh—

Wang Tao promptly opened two parachutes and then felt an upward force suddenly pulling at him, significantly slowing his descending speed.

He looked around to ensure the two people he was holding were fine, and so were Lightning and Nie Siyan, who were wrapped by the Iron Tree Vines. He Jijun and Xu Xiaojun had also opened their parachutes one after another.

After confirming that everyone was unharmed, Wang Tao turned to look at the transport plane, only to see it rapidly overtaking them, soon plummeting into a horde of zombies.

Moments later.

Boom—

A loud explosion erupted, and a great fire ignited where the plane had landed.

Watching his own plane explode, Wang Tao's eyes were filled with distress.

A functioning military transport plane! This was its maiden flight under Wang Tao's command, and now it was gone... The loss was great this time!

After a while, the group unsteadily landed amidst the zombies not far from where the plane had exploded.

The zombies on the ground reached out towards the sky with snarling faces. Wang Tao immediately cut the parachute cords, released everyone, and then unleashed a few Shockwaves at the zombies, instantly clearing the surrounding area.

"Is everyone alright?"

Wang Tao called out.

"We're fine!"

"I'm alright too!"

"Woof woof!"

Everyone indicated they were unharmed.

"This is insane, what in the world is going on!"

Wang Tao felt uncomfortable.

He Jijun shook his head.

"I'm not sure either, should we look for the flight recorder?"

"Sure!"

Wang Tao and the others arrived at the place where the plane had crashed, which had turned into a sea of fire, with many zombie corpses nearby. Wang Tao plunged into the inferno, and after some time, he found the black box and also picked up a bunch of Crystal Cores.

Looking at the fiercely burning plane in the midst of the fire, Wang Tao suddenly felt sentimental. The transport plane had always been tasked with airdropping supplies and rescuing survivors. Even in its final moments, it had crushed so many zombies.

"Sigh, may you rest in peace…"

With a heavy sigh, Wang Tao walked out of the flames.

"We got what we came for; let's head back to base. We are still some distance away from the base, let's try to get there before dark…"

"Okay."
