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

Chapter 1241: Chapter 511 Please Save Us Chapter 1241: Chapter 511 Please Save Us “You’re saying there’s a problem here?”

Above the high skies, looking down at the snow slope beneath him, Wang Tao furrowed his brow.

Perhaps because he was too high up, he really couldn’t discern anything wrong with it. But Golden Eagle suggested there was something off about this place, although exactly what was amiss, it couldn’t quite articulate…

“Chirp~”

Golden Eagle implored Wang Tao to trust it, its year-round hunting honed its vision and sixth sense with precision.

“Alright, I trust you, let’s go down then.”

Wang Tao nodded his head and then prepared to have Golden Eagle descend.

However, just as Golden Eagle was about to land, a sudden bang sounded from afar.

Wang Tao immediately turned his head to look and saw an explosion occurring at a distant reservoir; some layers of ice were blown apart, exposing the zombies frozen inside!

Wang Tao had noticed those zombies frozen in the reservoir during his search earlier, but he hadn’t bothered with them.

Seeing this, Golden Eagle’s instincts urged it to fly over, but remembering it was under Wang Tao’s command, it forcibly restrained itself.

Wang Tao examined the marks that were clearly made by explosives, raised his eyebrow, and then directly ordered,

“Let’s go over and take a look.”

Golden Eagle, which had just landed, immediately took to the skies and flew over.

After Golden Eagle had left, the snow-covered ground below suddenly began to wriggle, and a dark hole emerged, with two figures visible inside—one white, one black. The white one was Zou Jian, and the black one was Yao Hai.

“That Mutant Eagle’s been drawn away, go quickly!”

Yao Hai spoke with urgent nervousness.

“Damn, how could my luck be so bad today…”

Zou Jian was even more anxious than Yao Hai. After all, Yao Hai would stay hidden inside the base all the time, while he had to return to Mammoth Base.

But as someone who had survived in the Apocalypse for so long, Zou Jian’s mental fortitude was still dependable; he quickly calmed down. Once he was sure the eagle in the sky was gone, he prepared to leave.

At that moment, Yao Hai suddenly seized his arm.

“I used one of the ‘Bait’ from our base, which we hardly have any of! Don’t forget what you promised me!”

Zou Jian struggled, but Yao Hai’s grip was like a vice, impossible to break free from.

He had no choice but to solemnly assure him,

“You’ve saved my life! Rest assured, we’ll definitely come to rescue you! Just wait for us!”

Only then did Yao Hai let go.

Zou Jian adjusted the white cloak on his body, found his direction and immediately took off.

Only when the snow slope that led to the Ocean Base gate was no longer behind him, and there were no eagles in the sky, did he breathe a sigh of relief and then cursed viciously.

“Stupid! No one’s going to rescue you, just wait to die!”

After cursing, he still felt unsatisfied, so he cursed in his mind over and over as he ran.

“Damn! Agreeing now? You only regret when death is upon you? What were you doing earlier? Just the mere aura of that eagle from a distance was terrifying enough, expecting Mammoth Base to come rescue you? You want to die but we don’t!”

Who could have imagined, when just earlier Yao Hai had told him that Ocean Base was being targeted by a horrifying eagle and that Ocean Base couldn’t last for many more days, how absolutely desperate he had felt!

After all, he had come to strut around the Ocean Base and to subtly pressure Yao Hai. Who would have thought he’d risk his life? It was all Yao Hai’s fault! If he had agreed earlier to merge into Mammoth Base and moved all those over a thousand people into Mammoth Base, would all these problems have arisen?

As for the fact that Yao Hai had saved his life… indeed, he owed him a life-saving favor. If it weren’t for Yao Hai attracting the eagle away, he would have surely met his end alongside Ocean Base.

But, this was the Apocalypse!

Ideas such as repaying a life-saving favor with a spring of continuous gratitude were all but impossible to fulfill. Repay him? Not stabbing him in the back was already the greatest repayment!

So, he was only making empty promises; what if Yao Hai decided to drag him down with him in death?

“I have to hurry back and inform the boss; we need to beware of this eagle recently! And we can’t want Ocean Base anymore, they’re doomed!”

Zou Jian tightened his collar and ran crazily towards Mammoth Base.

…

Elsewhere, at the entrance of Ocean Base.

Yao Hai had already closed the gate again but did not leave; instead, he turned to Su Jie beside him and asked,

“Su Jie, do you think… Zou Jian will keep his promise?”

“No.”

Su Jie did not even need to think, immediately shaking her head.

“Huh?”

Yao Hai opened his mouth wide, momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing Yao Hai’s expression, Su Jie shook her head somewhat helplessly, then said earnestly,

“Given his character, he won’t save us. Even if he did want to, Mammoth Base wouldn’t agree. He isn’t a decision-maker there; he can’t make the call.”

“Then why did you still…”

Yao Hai had originally not wanted to let Zou Jian go; they were doomed anyway, so Zou Jian ought to meet his end with them! After all, Zou Jian wasn’t a good person, and Yao Hai felt no guilt about it. But Su Jie had suggested letting Zou Jian go to Mammoth Base for help…

Although Yao Hai felt Zou Jian was unreliable, he had followed Su Jie’s advice, choosing to believe Zou Jian.

But how come now Su Jie herself didn’t believe it? Wouldn’t that mean letting Zou Jian take advantage of them? The ‘Bait’ they had set up outside the base was not easy to come by…

However, at this moment, Su Jie added,

“Zou Jian won’t save us proactively, but… he might save us passively!”

“How so?”

Yao Hai knitted his brows, sensing he was onto something, but in a flash, could not remember.
