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

As Wang Tao and his team joined the fight, the situation quickly became one-sided.

Of course, this wasn’t solely due to Wang Tao and his team’s efforts but also because each Night Demon killed meant one less enemy while the soldiers remained unscathed, growing stronger as the battle went on.

When the illumination from the flares in the sky slowly died out, the brief but intense battle finally came to an end.

Duan Xuchang began to lead his men in cleaning up the battlefield.

"Although Night Demons don’t have Crystal Cores, some things on their bodies are still very useful. For example, these Night Demon claws can be used to make weapons, which are worth quite a bit of money at Changhe Base!"

Worried that Wang Tao might not understand, Duan Xuchang explained this to him considerately.

"Thank you!"

Wang Tao, of course, knew that these materials were useful, but it was only right to express his gratitude since it was well-intentioned advice.

As for the Night Demon materials, Wang Tao naturally didn’t waste them. However, he only collected the loot from Night Demons his group had killed, leaving behind what belonged to the military troops.

Cleaning up the battlefield took even longer than the fight itself. After confirming there were no zombies left in the area, Duan Xuchang led his troops back to the train.

All was well at the train, as both Ordinary zombies and Night Demons had been lured to the recent battlefield and were completely slaughtered. Since this place was rather remote, after clearing out those zombies, there were absolutely none left, at least for the time being.

On the way back, no accidents occurred, and Wang Tao finally found time to talk to Duan Xuchang about the Zombie Parasites.

"Zombie Parasites!"

Inside his Powered Armor, Duan Xuchang’s expression turned serious.

This was indeed a very important piece of news, something that needed to be reported immediately once he returned.

He then asked curiously:

"So you mean to say that you encountered a Level 4 Night Demon down there?"

Duan Xuchang wasn’t actually aware of the specifics of Wang Tao’s team’s fight below.

This was because after Wang Tao’s team went down, not just one but several Level 4 Lord Night Demons came from afar.

Duan Xuchang assumed that most of the Night Demons, including their Lords, were outside and even if there were Night Demons inside the cave, there wouldn’t be many or they wouldn’t be powerful.

Later, when Wang Tao’s team surfaced quickly, with some signs of battle but no injuries, Duan Xuchang was even more convinced of his initial judgement.

However, at that time, the battle was so intense that he only asked Wang Tao whether the cave had been cleared out, without delving further.

Later, during the cleanup, he sent two Powered Armors to check out the Night Demon’s Nest and left after confirming there were no Night Demons left.

So, up until now, he was still unaware of the specifics of Wang Tao’s team’s encounter.

But after their exchange just now, he found out that Wang Tao’s team had actually faced three Level 4 Lord Night Demons! And on the surface, he had also encountered three Level 4 Lord Night Demons—that meant there were a total of six Level 4 Lord Night Demons in today’s battle!

"Wow, we were really lucky you guys came over! Otherwise, the outcome of this battle would have been hard to predict..."

Duan Xuchang suddenly felt a bit apprehensive.

With the military’s strength, they naturally had the capability to eliminate six Level 4 Lord Night Demons, but he had left the majority of the troops near the train to protect the survivors. Only a small fraction of people came to fight, and they hadn’t even deployed any tanks.

If they had encountered an assault by six Level 4 Lord Night Demons while fighting Night Demons, they would have certainly suffered casualties!

Not to mention, Wang Tao had provided them with high-powered ultraviolet flashlights, incendiary rounds, and the two airborne devices that fired large ultraviolet incendiary rounds which could change the course of the battle!

If Wang Tao and his team hadn’t been there, although they would have eventually won—Duan Xuchang would definitely have called in the main forces if they were losing—there was no doubt that they would have suffered casualties! It would’ve been challenging for anyone other than those in Powered Armors to withstand an ambush by so many Level 4 Lord Night Demons!

Of course, this wasn’t to blame Duan Xuchang for underestimating the threat.

One reason was that he needed a large number of people to protect the survivors, which was his mission. Another reason was, who would have thought that a Night Demon’s Nest could house so many Lord Night Demons! Normally, Zombie Lords have their own territories, and aside from situations like a zombie horde, Lords don’t usually coexist.

Instances like finding both a Level 3 Lord Night Demon and a Level 4 Lord Night Demon in the same nest were rare enough.

He had never before seen two Level 3 or Level 4 Lord Night Demons in the same nest because a zombie group only needs one leader; more leaders would just lead to chaos.

And here they were today, with six Level 4 Lord Night Demons!

Duan Xuchang also became more alert; sometimes "common sense" isn’t so reliable!

"We support each other, right?"

Wang Tao shook his head.

He had previously encountered similar unusual situations where the number of zombies, which should have been limited, was unexpectedly high.

Now Wang Tao also had experience. When faced with such situations, there was a 90% chance that they had encountered a mother zombie!

It’s just that the mother zombie they encountered today was a bit more terrifying than the ones they usually came across!

On the way back, the two chatted some more. @@novelbin@@

Duan Xuchang was quite interested in the Flame Gauze Dress that Lan Yulian was wearing. After all, that thing was way too conspicuous at night!

And surprisingly, once the soldiers realized that the person wearing the Flame Gauze Dress was a healer, they would consciously head toward Lan Yulian whenever they got injured.

Because Lan Yulian was so conspicuous, a quick glance around was all it took to find her position.

This greatly increased Lan Yulian’s healing efficiency!
