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

Chapter 424: Chapter 192 Crystal Core Currency_2

Ability Users traded directly, either bartering goods or settling with Crystal Cores. But ordinary people couldn’t get their hands on Crystal Cores—if they had them, they wouldn’t be ordinary anymore.

Thus, transactions among ordinary people were generally conducted using gold and silver as currency.

Gold and silver were naturally of little use to Wang Tao, but since they gleamed attractively, he collected them anyway.

Then there were snacks, tobacco, and alcohol; these luxuries could satisfy cravings and were quite valuable in the post-apocalypse. Cigarettes, in particular, were almost as solid a currency as Crystal Cores.

It was the same old story, no matter what the times, there were always the rich. Ordinary folks might be worrying about what to have for tomorrow’s lunch, but some were already indulging in smoking and drinking.

Wang Tao collected all these items and had Xu Xiaojun carry them. Then he turned to Liao Xia.

“Anything else to confess?”

“No more…”

Liao Xia said with a mournful expression.

All the most valuable things in the video arcade had been taken by Wang Tao. Aside from food, which wasn’t easy to seize, she was left with nothing.

“Are you sure? Think carefully…”

Wang Tao gave her a deep look.

“I…”

Liao Xia racked her brains desperately but really couldn’t think of anything valuable left. Apart from her own body, she had nothing—wait, her body?

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Liao Xia’s head.

“Big Brother! I still have myself, I belong to you now too!”

Wang Tao’s brow immediately furrowed.

He thought Liao Xia had actually come up with something, but she was referring to her body? How ominous!

Wang Tao turned to Nie Siyan.

“Kill her.”

“…”

Nie Siyan’s body involuntarily shuddered.

With Huang Wu dead and Liao Xia about to die, would she be the next one?

Looking into Wang Tao’s unemotional eyes, Nie Siyan dared not delay. She immediately picked up the axe she had discarded earlier and approached Liao Xia.

“No, you can’t…”

Splat!

Liao Xia’s face was etched with terror, but the horrified expression quickly became fixed.

Nie Siyan had rested for a while and regained some strength. The force of her axe was exceptionally strong, severing Liao Xia’s entire head.

As Nie Siyan watched Liao Xia staring at her with deformed eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine.

“Well done.”

Wang Tao secretly nodded in approval of Nie Siyan’s obedience.

Suddenly, there was some noise behind them.

All three turned to see Huang Wu, who had been killed by Nie Siyan earlier, standing up. His body twisted, his eyes white, his mouth oozing disgusting mucus and blood. Then, staggering forward with his nearly severed head, he moved quickly towards them.

“Damn, forgot to double-tap!”

Nie Siyan suddenly realized, even without a virus infection, there was a certain chance that a dead person would turn into a zombie if the brain wasn’t destroyed!

She had been too distracted earlier and forgot to double-tap.

However, Wang Tao appeared quite calm, signaling Xu Xiaojun with a glance.

Xu Xiaojun immediately went over. After a few exchanges with zombie Huang Wu, he effortlessly killed him.

Killing humans did not yield increased HP, but killing zombies did. That’s why Wang Tao purposely hadn’t double-tapped, for this reason.

Wang Tao had speculated that the probability of a person turning into a zombie after death was likely related to the amount of Internal Impurity in the body.

With more than fifty percent Internal Impurity, Wang Tao figured Huang Wu had a decent chance of turning into a zombie.

Sure enough, Huang Wu had complied and indeed became a zombie.

After Xu Xiaojun killed zombie Huang Wu, he gained over five hundred in increased HP. Not bad.

As for Liao Xia, her level of Internal Impurity wasn’t that high, just over thirty percent, so Wang Tao reckoned it was unlikely for her.

Nie Siyan watched Xu Xiaojun skillfully extract the Crystal Core from the head of zombie Huang Wu, feeling her legs go weak.

Thump—

Nie Siyan immediately knelt in front of Wang Tao, grabbing his legs:

“Brother, don’t kill me, I don’t want to die, please…”

Looking down at Nie Siyan with her snotty and tearful face, Wang Tao bent down slightly, lifting her chin and forcing her to look him in the eye.

Nie Siyan was actually quite attractive, even though she wore heavy makeup, it gave her a unique flavor. Especially with her fiery figure, she was someone who could easily arouse desire.

But clearly, Wang Tao wasn’t that desperate, especially after having just vented his frustrations. Moreover, Nie Siyan’s makeup was smudged from crying, greatly diminishing her allure.

“Brother…”

Nie Siyan, facing Wang Tao’s cold eyes, felt she might die at any moment. Especially when Wang Tao’s hand slowly moved from her chin to her neck, Nie Siyan trembled all over, feeling a warm flow beneath her.

“…”

Slap—

Wang Tao sent Nie Siyan flying with a slap, knocking her against the wall and leaving her seeing stars.

At her previous spot, a puddle was forming on the ground.

She had literally peed herself from fright.

Wang Tao covered his nose as he stood up, addressing the still dazed Nie Siyan:

“I’ll give you a chance, you do one thing for me. If you succeed, I won’t kill you.”

“I’ll do it, I’ll do it!”

Nie Siyan, ignoring her headache, nodded eagerly like a pecking chicken.

“First, clean up this place and yourself.”

“Yes!”

Wang Tao left Nie Siyan alone, confident she wouldn’t dare run away.
