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

Chapter 342: Chapter 165 Slanderous Accusation_1

The night passed without incident.

Wang Tao woke up and glanced at his watch, it was already six in the morning.

As soon as he made a move, Jiang Shixue also woke up, while Xu Xiaojun was still sleeping.

Xu Xiaojun’s injuries were quite serious, and even though Wang Tao had used a medical kit on him, he would need a long time to recover.

Wang Tao directly woke him up.

“I’m going out, you rest here for now. I didn’t lock the door, so you can leave on your own or wait for me to come back.”

The underground grain cellar was still dark, and Wang Tao left some nutrient solution and a flashlight for Xu Xiaojun.

“Okay, thank you…”

The groggy Xu Xiaojun quickly expressed his gratitude.

Wang Tao patted Xu Xiaojun’s shoulder, then he and Jiang Shixue went upstairs.

A few Ordinary Zombies were around the granary, which Wang Tao easily took care of.

He and Jiang Shixue carefully searched the area but didn’t find the two Blood-red Zombies from last night. Although there were some scratch marks, they couldn’t determine where the opponent had gone.

If the other party was photophobic, they were most likely resting in some dark corner…

Wang Tao had originally planned to leave after obtaining the map, but now he changed his mind; he decided to wait and see if there was an opportunity to find those three Blood-red Zombies during the day.

If he really couldn’t find them, then so be it; he wouldn’t lose anything. But if he could find them during the day, he might hit the jackpot.

As for the evening, there was a high probability of finding them, but the problem was, if he found them, he might not be able to fight them off… after all, there were three Level 3 Zombies!

Upon returning to the underground grain cellar, Xu Xiaojun had fully awakened and was doing stretching exercises.

“You’re recovering nicely!”

Wang Tao complimented.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaojun quickly jogged over, his face earnestly filled with gratitude:

“Thanks for your help, Brother Wang. If it weren’t for you, I would have died a long time ago…”

“It was nothing, don’t mention it!” Wang Tao said with a smile, then asked, “What are your plans now?”

“I… I plan to go back…”

Xu Xiaojun replied with his head lowered.

If it weren’t for wanting to thank Wang Tao in person again, he might have left as soon as he woke up.

“Go back? Go back where?”

Wang Tao was momentarily stunned.

“Back to Fish Bay Camp…”

Xu Xiaojun’s tone was somewhat downcast.

…

Wang Tao frowned slightly; after the way people at Fish Bay Camp had treated him, why would he go back there?

Wang Tao took a close look; he didn’t see any anger or desire for vengeance in Xu Xiaojun— he genuinely wanted to go back.

“Alright, be careful on the road then.”

Wang Tao shook his head somewhat speechlessly.

This was someone else’s choice, and he wasn’t going to interfere.

“Um… then, Brother Wang, I’m leaving. You are my lifesaver, but I don’t have anything to thank you with right now… When I get the chance, I will definitely repay you—”

“Stop!”

Wang Tao quickly interrupted Xu Xiaojun, then patted his shoulder and said:

“The last person who said that to me is no longer with us. I just hope you can keep on living well.”

…

Xu Xiaojun left.

Watching his forlorn figure walking away, Jiang Shixue felt puzzled.

“Is he going for revenge? But I didn’t feel any killing intent.”

“No, it’s not revenge, he’s just going home.”

Wang Tao explained.

“But why doesn’t he seek revenge after they wronged him? Shouldn’t he kill them all?”

Jiang Shixue was somewhat confused.

…”Killing them all isn’t necessary, there were many people involved in this operation, just find the main culprit. But everyone makes their own choices, we don’t need to get involved, just respect their fate.”

“Oh~”

It was unclear whether Jiang Shixue understood, but she nodded her little head regardless.

“Let’s go, we’ll continue to look for traces of those Level 3 Zombies, and also keep an eye out for Elite Level 1 Zombies or Level 2 Zombies. If you see them, don’t kill them; leave them for me to finish off.”

Wang Tao was still 410 HP short of reaching 10,000 HP, and he wanted to see if there would be any change when he hit 10,000 HP.

“Okay, brother~”

…

Xu Xiaojun returned to the outskirts of Fish Bay Base feeling somewhat dejected.

The people on guard duty at the entrance were shocked to see Xu Xiaojun, as if they had seen a ghost.

“You, you’re not dead!”

One of the guards blurted out unintentionally.

These words made Xu Xiaojun frown; it sounded almost like a curse for him to die?

However, Xu Xiaojun didn’t dwell on it; he spoke very politely:

“I didn’t die, I’ve come back. Could you please open the gate, thank you.”

Xu Xiaojun was two meters tall with a burly frame, towering over the average person. Most people seemed like dwarfs in comparison.

However, Xu Xiaojun used to stammer and had a simple and honest smile, which made others not feel afraid of him.

Many people would even tease him to his face, as Fatty’s good temper was recognized by the entire camp.

But now, Xu Xiaojun wasn’t stammering anymore, the naive smile had disappeared from his face, there were wounds on his arm, and he had an axe stained with black blood hanging from his waist…

This left the two guards feeling an immense pressure!

Xu Xiaojun’s current oppressive presence was too strong, and it frightened anyone who saw him!

“Just, just wait a moment, I, I need to notify someone first!”

The guard started to stammer, whereas Xu Xiaojun did not.

“Okay.”

Xu Xiaojun didn’t ask why, as he wasn’t someone who often questioned the reasons. After agreeing, he simply stood quietly and waited.

The guard ran toward the camp, even tripping over once along the way, seeming quite frantic.

The other guard, meanwhile, watched Xu Xiaojun with a face full of vigilance and caution, his hand even resting on the homemade spear beside him.
