“Understood.”
The group nodded, then immediately set off to prepare.
Ren Jie also broadcasted throughout the base, informing everyone about the appearance of the airdrop and ambiguously mentioned that there were valuable items inside. He encouraged anyone who was capable to retrieve it, whether for personal use or to exchange for Contribution Points at the base.
Not disclosing to these people that the airdrop contained inhibitors was partially a secretive move; after all, the base’s Contribution System relied on the allure of inhibitors to attract people. This was akin to a trump card for the base.
On the other hand, it was because he feared the Hunters would be too greedy. After all, a single bottle of inhibitor was worth one hundred thousand Contribution Points and was practically worth half a life. If they were too eager to get the airdrop and decided to go for it despite knowing the dangers, they could very likely end up as zombie lunch.
There were not many survivors left in the base, and even fewer Hunters The death of a Hunter was a loss for the base, and naturally, Ren Jie did not wish for anyone to perish.
The news of the airdrop instantly sent the base into an uproar. When the first airdrop happened, many had heard the sound of the plane, but it was just the sound; many had not seen an airdrop.
Now, hearing that an airdrop had appeared again, the survivors were all very curious and wanted to know what an airdrop looked like and what valuable items it contained.
The Hunters, in contrast, were eager to try their luck. They stood in the open square outside, their eyes glued to the plane in the sky, watching to see where the airdrop would land.
Wang Tao called over Han Rui, who had already changed into a combat-ready uniform in advance, with steel plates inserted in certain areas of her clothing. “Followme to retrieve the airdrop.”
“…Yes!”
Han Rui was slightly excited; this was her first time going for an airdrop. Although she felt it would be awkward to be with Wang Tao, she couldn’t deny that when she was with him…she felt an overwhelming sense of security.
The sound of the military transport plane overhead grew louder, and soon, one could see airdrops falling from the sky like eggs being laid.
“Let’s go, go, go!”
Xiang Hongbin’s figure emerged from the shooting port on top of the military vehicle, holding a rifle and shouting loudly to the others, leading the way out of the base. The rest followed closely behind.
Wang Tao looked at several parachuted airdrops and then started the vehicle, driving towards the gate with Han Rui.
The situation outside the base was much like the inside: one could see greenery everywhere, roads and buildings looked worn, and vehicles had rusted…
But these were not the most important; what mattered was that the zombies were different now!
Those zombies in the distance…they look even more decayed!”
Han Rui was surprised as she looked at a few zombies not far from the base gate.
Before, although the zombies looked terrifying, one could still discern what they had looked like in life.
But now, after the corrosive acid rain, it was impossible to make out the faces of these zombies. Their hair had fallen out, their facial skin decayed, their teeth exposed…they looked even more ghastly!
It wasn’t only their appearance that had changed-the zombies genuinely had become stronger since ordinary zombies now had HP bars showing [1000/1000]!
If they hadn’t fed before, their HP used to be 500, but now it had doubled!
“These zombies have grown stronger; I’ll test their strength.”
Wang Tao stopped the car, grabbed his firefighter axe, and walked toward four zombies nearby.
Han Rui, wielding a short spear, also got out of the car and followed.
There were four ordinary zombies in total, each more fearsome in appearance and all with 1000 HP.
“Heh…”
Now that the heavy rain had ceased, the zombies’ senses became much sharper. They spotted Wang Tao from a distance of about ten meters and twisted their bodies as they moved towards him.
“Hmm?”
However, Wang Tao suddenly paused.
These zombies’ speed seemed to have slowed?
Wang Tao was familiar with zombies, including their attack power, defensive power, and speed.
He could tell that the bodies of these zombies had become stiffer compared to before and were significantly slower.
Instead of immediately engaging, Wang Tao waited for the zombies to come close and reach out to grab him. He raised his steel-plated left arm and took the hit from a zombie directly.
Bang!
“Their strength has increased!”
Although Wang Tao didn’t lose any HP, he could clearly feel that the zombies were much stronger.
“Heh…”
The other few zombies also gradually approached Wang Tao, who, confident in his own strength, continued to experiment a few times, causing Han Rui, hidden to the side, to be extremely anxious.
After ascertaining the zombies’ attack power and speed, Wang Tao swung his axe towards one of the zombies’ heads.
Squish!
[-1000]
[0/1000]
Even though the zombies’ HP had doubled, to Wang Tao they were still one-axe kills.
However, Wang Tao frowned as he looked at the wound he inflicted. Previously when he killed ordinary zombies, one axe blow would almost blast their heads apart. But now, one axe blow merely caused a crack in the zombie’s skull…
“The zombies’ defensive power has increased too!”
Wang Tao then glanced at his own HP, which remained unchanged.
As for the loot dropped by the zombies, it was still an ordinary crafting material.
[Received: Nails xi]
While he pondered this, Wang Tao’s actions didn’t stop. He swung his firefighter axe at the heads of the remaining zombies.
Squish!
[-1000]
Squish!
[-1000]
Squish!
[-1000]
All four ordinary zombies were instantly killed.
Han Rui was somewhat astonished to the side. Though she had seen Wang Tao kill zombies with one strike before, watching it now still felt shocking. After all, this was something she couldn’t achieve herself.
“Let’s go.”
Wang Tao got back in the car and turned on the intercom.
“Attention everyone! The overall strength of the zombies has increased after the heavy rain! But their bodies are stiffer, and their speed has slowed down…”
“Roger that!”
