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

Flames soared into the sky outside Zijin Base, and the survivors inside could only hear the Giant Zombie's roaring and the sounds of battle. After all, Wang Tao had lured the Giant Zombie away, and no one could see what exactly was happening.

At that moment, everyone faintly heard a "boom," and it seemed like the ground itself had trembled.

The Giant Zombie's roaring suddenly seemed to disappear.

Everyone's heart tensed up in an instant.

Had Wang Tao won? Or… lost?

Those survivors who hadn't participated in the fight didn't even dare to breathe, as if they feared that any additional breath might affect the outcome of the battle.

Some even closed their eyes, praying for Wang Tao.

Ding Yuqin and her companions clenched their fists tightly as well; had the fire outside not been too intense, they really would have wanted to rush out.

Thump, thump—

At this time, a series of deep footsteps sounded from afar.

A catch in their hearts—could it be that the Giant Zombie wasn't dead?!

But quickly, joy spread across their faces.

Because in the midst of the roaring flames, a huge figure emerged, burning like the sun.

"Wang Tao!"

"It's Wang Tao!"

...

Wang Tao had successfully killed the Giant Zombie.

However, his Frenzy state had not yet subsided; Frenzy could last an hour, and he planned to take advantage of this state to kill more zombies.

After all, although the Giant Zombie was dead, the onslaught outside had not yet ended.

Wang Tao didn't return to the base but charged directly into the horde of zombies outside the breach in the west wall.

He wielded the Bloody Chainsaw in one hand and The Tusk Long Knife in the other, slaughtering zombies in a frenzy.

The Bloody Chainsaw was instrumental in killing the Giant Zombie.

If it weren't for the Bloody Chainsaw's ability to directly attack the Life Energy of foes, with the height difference between him and the Giant Zombie, he would have had no way to inflict substantial damage. Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire

Moreover, using the Bloody Chainsaw cost HP, and it lost HP at a faster rate than the Giant Zombie.

Given the situation at that time, the Bloody Chainsaw might have bled to death before killing the Giant Zombie.

But luckily, there were plenty of zombies around.

While fighting the Giant Zombie, Wang Tao had also taken time to kill off the Level 3 zombies around him. This allowed the Bloody Chainsaw to maintain its HP at a Half Blood status and eventually wear down the Giant Zombie!

The Bloody Chainsaw, like Wang Tao, was at low HP and needed to be healed quickly.

Now in an Enhancement state after Frenzy and decked out in Black Iron Heavy Armor with absurdly high Defense, Wang Tao plunged into the horde of zombies like a tiger among sheep. No zombie lasted more than three seconds before him, nor could any zombie harm him.

But the sheer number of zombies was overwhelming, and no matter how strong Wang Tao was, he was only one man with limited Physical Strength and Spirit. He could momentarily hold off the zombies' attack, but it was impossible for him to kill them all.

Although there was no longer a Level 4, Lord Zombie to lead the horde, their attack was still chaotic. But Zijin Base's western wall had a gaping hole, and the zombies didn't need any tactics—just a relentless surge into the breach.

Once Wang Tao saw that the Bloody Chainsaw's HP had been fully restored, he put away the long knife and the chainsaw, and a large metal stick appeared in his hands.

With each swing of the stick, he broke countless zombies and then retreated back to the breach in the high wall.

Wang Tao stood at the breach, wielding the colossal Black Iron Stick. With a swing, he could kill swathes of zombies, even without using a Shockwave.

With him standing there, no zombie could make it through!

The survivors inside the base all saw this towering figure and were both stirred and teary-eyed.

"Mr. Wang Tao isn't dead! He's still protecting us!"

"Mr. Wang Tao… *sob*…"

"I hate feeling so helpless, unable to fight alongside Mr. Wang Tao!"

"Could this be the work of our prayers to the gods?"

"What bullcrap gods! Mr. Wang Tao is our base's guardian deity, our one true god!"

"…You're right!"

"…"

Ding Yuqin and the others quickly came to Wang Tao's side, with Lan Yulian fearlessly administering healing to Wang Tao.

Wang Tao's HP began to slowly rise.

"Woof! Whine~"

Lightning also cried out anxiously to Wang Tao.

"Are you all alright?"

While slaughtering a massive number of zombies, Wang Tao took the chance to vigorously rub Lightning's head and didn't forget to express his concern for everyone else.

"We're all fine! Thanks to Jade Lotus, with her healing, not a single person died!"

Ding Yuqin quickly responded.

Actually, they too had suffered badly. While Wang Tao went to attack the Stone Armor Zombie, the Deformed Zombie had come to attack them. The poison gas released by the Deformed Zombie almost wiped them out, but thanks to Lan Yulian's healing ability and Wang Tao's timely reinforcements, their crisis was averted.

Later when Wang Tao went to battle the Zombie Lord, countless zombies began to assault the base, and they defended desperately in their weakened state…

However, these things were nothing compared to what Wang Tao had been through; if not for him, the base would have been destroyed countless times.

So, no one mentioned how tough they had it because it paled in comparison to Wang Tao's hardships!

Even when the Giant Zombie appeared, Lan Yulian told everyone that maybe they should let Wang Tao come back and abandon the base—to leave together instead—since she was the one who most wanted to save the base, but now she was the one who most wanted to leave, not willing to let Wang Tao sacrifice himself.
