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

Chapter 733: Chapter 292: Obstacle-Clearing Train (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2

Duan Xuchang directly stuffed a piece into his mouth.

After such a long battle, he too needed to replenish his physical strength.

The other soldiers beside him stuffed the food into their mouths while looking at everyone with a smile, seeming rather malicious.

“Protein?” Lan Yulian frowned slightly, unsure as she said, “This… wouldn’t happen to be made from insects, would it?”

As a doctor by profession, she had some knowledge about dietary matters. There were many foods high in protein, but in a post-apocalyptic environment, most of them would definitely be hard to come by.

Insects had plenty of proteins in their bodies and, comparatively speaking, were also more common.

Upon hearing this, Duan Xuchang looked at Lan Yulian with some surprise, then nodded and said:

“Madam Lan, you guessed right, this is Cockroach Paste made from the mutated giant cockroaches and other insects.”

Thump!

Ding Yuqin involuntarily took a step back.

It wasn’t just her, the faces of the other women also turned pale.

Especially Li Qiuyu, who was visibly turning white. She was originally a bit hungry, but now, after hearing this, her stomach churned, and she almost vomited.

Wang Tao was about to dig into his meal box when he heard their conversation. He quietly put the meal box down, suddenly feeling not hungry at all.

It wasn’t that they were being finicky, cockroaches were just too disgusting!

“Haha!”

Seeing this, Duan Xuchang and the soldiers burst out laughing.

They had no ill intentions; the reaction of Wang Tao and others just reminded them of their own initial disgust. But now… they had long gotten used to it!

But then, Yang Changhong seemingly pulled out some jerky from nowhere and handed it to Wang Tao.

“Here you go!”

Lan Yulian also produced some dried fruits, Han Rui brought out some dried small fish, and Lu Yingfeng handed over some meat pies… All of which they gave to Wang Tao.

Duan Xuchang and the group of soldiers couldn’t laugh anymore.

A few of the more familiar soldiers quietly gave Wang Tao the middle finger.@@novelbin@@

They didn’t even have girlfriends, yet Wang Tao was surrounded by beauties… They really couldn’t stand it!

And this was the post-apocalypse, they were supposed to be the survivors in need of rescue, yet their meals seemed better than their own… Who exactly needed saving here!

Wang Tao hadn’t thought there was anything special about it, but seeing Duan Xuchang and the others suddenly looking deflated, he now burst into laughter.

“Okay, I admit, this Cockroach Paste is indeed a bit challenging for me. How about everyone tries the special products from Zijin Base?”

As Wang Tao spoke, he took out all the food items.

Seeing the table full of food, the soldiers subconsciously swallowed hard. These things weren’t cheap even in the base’s market!

But quickly, their attention shifted from the food to Yang Changhong and the other women, or more precisely, to the object that looked like a water pouch at their waists.

“Where did you get these foods from?”

Duan Xuchang asked with a furrowed brow, somewhat astonished.

“You mean this?”

Wang Tao took the Magical Stomach Pouch that Yang Changhong handed to him.

In front of everyone, he took out a… roast suckling pig!

Zijin Base had raised many mutated pigs previously, each one quite large, obviously impossible to take with them. So they were slaughtered.

Most of the pigs were turned into nutritional liquids, with some preserved as jerky and other easily stored foods. A few of the smaller pigs were roasted directly and placed into the Magical Stomach Pouch.

Inside the Magical Stomach Pouch, it was like a refrigerator, keeping food fresh for a long time, though it did get a bit cold.

Of course, the problem now wasn’t whether the food was cold or not, but the fact that such a large roast suckling pig was taken out of such a small bag!

Could this be a kind of Ability?

Seeing that they seemed unfamiliar with the Magical Stomach Pouch, Wang Tao explained a bit.

“This is called the Magical Stomach Pouch. It’s an organ from the body of a zombie with the ‘Spittle Nail’ Ability…”

“Ah? There’s such great stuff in a zombie’s body!”

Hearing Wang Tao’s explanation, Duan Xuchang and the others were somewhat shocked.

“Have you all encountered Spittle Nail zombies before?”

Wang Tao asked, curious. Some zombies had a certain regional characteristic, so perhaps they didn’t have Spittle Nail zombies in their area?

“We have… we even killed one on our way here… but nobody mentioned it had such good stuff in its body…”

Duan Xuchang was not one to dwell on regrets, but at that moment, he was certainly annoyed.

The Magical Stomach Pouch was somewhat of a artifact in a way, and they had missed out on it…

Hearing them, Wang Tao roughly understood. If they had killed zombies, they might only collect some of the more obvious drops from the zombie bodies, like the Crystal Cores, Weapons, or Awakening Energy Pearls.

As for something like the Magical Stomach Pouch, which was inside a zombie’s body, unless they had some special hobby of dissecting zombies, it was unlikely they would discover it—even if there were professionals dissecting zombies to research, they might not dissect a Spittle Nail zombie…

Even though they may have encountered Spittle Nail zombies, they wouldn’t know about it.

Wang Tao had discovered it because he could see the names and explanations of items. Without that ability, it was highly probable that he himself wouldn’t have found it.

“Hey! It’s no big deal, I have some spares, I’ll give a few to you guys.”
