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

Chapter 855: Chapter 335: Guarding the Great Tree_2

Then, Wang Tao and the others stayed under the tree for a whole day.

Besides the fruits on the tree starting to turn slightly yellow and their fragrance growing increasingly intense, there hadn’t been any one suddenly woke him up.

“Wang Tao! Zombies are approaching!”

Upon hearing the voice, Wang Tao instantly awoke. It was Jiang Shixue who had roused him.

Only he and Jiang Shixue had night vision ability, so their watch shifts were staggered to ensure someone could see clearly at night.

After getting up, Wang Tao looked in the direction Jiang Shixue was pointing and immediately saw a group of zombies shuffling towards them.

From the angle of their approach, they were definitely attracted by the Awakening Tree!

Wang Tao took a quick glance and saw they were mostly ordinary zombies, not even a single Fourth Order among them. But Wang Tao was not careless and woke everyone up.

“Zombies are coming. I’ll go kill them. You all stay alert to our surroundings.”

Wang Tao wanted to test if his Life Ring could increase its stored HP by killing ordinary zombies.

He hadn’t encountered ordinary zombies before, and naturally, he hadn’t had the chance to test it. Now that zombies were coming, it was a good opportunity to make use of waste.

“Okay!”

The group responded in unison.

These ordinary zombies were mainly Level Two and Level Three, with none exceeding 50,000 HP, but there were quite a few of them—more than thirty.

The zombies had not noticed Wang Tao and his party, but were simply lured here by the scent. They twisted their bodies towards the large tree.

Whoosh—

A shockwave suddenly appeared, and several zombies in front of the horde were instantly shattered.

Roar—

Only then did the zombies realize that a human had appeared in front of them.

Though the fruit of Awakening was fragrant, the scent of humans was no less intense, so they immediately shifted their target and rushed towards Wang Tao rapidly.

Moments later, they became shreds of flesh on the ground.

o rejoice when Jiang Shixue’s voice rang out in his earpiece.

“Brother, a lot of ordinary zombies are coming from the east!”

Wang Tao was on the west side, and because of the large tree’s obstruction, he couldn’t see the situation to the east.

“You all attack at will!”

Wang Tao immediately ordered.

He had already tested the ordinary zombies, and the others were of no use to him.

“Okay!”

Everyone sprang into action.

Since Wang Tao had anticipated the possibility of enemy attacks, he had hung many lights on the tree, including ultraviolet strip lights. Ding Yuqin immediately turned on the lights, and the area around the large tree lit up like daylight, leaving the zombies with nowhere to hide under the ultraviolet light.

Amidst these zombies, the sound of burning could occasionally be heard.

“There are Night Demons mixed in among them!”

Everyone was on guard, but they didn’t panic.

The incoming zombie horde numbered over a hundred, but to the group, they posed no challenge.

Moreover, it was a good opportunity to test the combat abilities of the Black Snakes. With their Fourth Order Elite strength, dealing with these zombies, which were all below Fourth Order, was a one-sided slaughter.

Wang Tao took the chance to observe them and noticed the scales of these Black Snakes were very hard. The zombies couldn’t penetrate the scales to attack them, so they were unable to release the zombie virus. As long as they weren’t infected by the zombie virus, they could easily handle these ordinary zombies.

As for the Black Snakes’ methods of attack, there were basically two. One was to coil around the zombie’s head and then suddenly exert force, bursting the zombie’s head on the spot. The other was to use their tail to lash out, smashing the zombies’ heads to pieces.

Seeing this, Wang Tao nodded in approval.

He had been worried that these newly born Black Snakes wouldn’t have combat experience, since zombies, unlike other creatures, had to be hit in the head.

But Wang Tao’s concerns were unfounded; these Black Snakes might have inherited some hunting experience, as they handled the zombies with ease.

Without Wang Tao and the others needing to lift a finger, the five snakes plunged into the horde, causing chaos and quickly annihilating the sizeable and reasonably powerful zombie group.

ld have driven them to poverty with their consumption…

After dealing with this batch of zombies, no other creatures approached for the time being, but Wang Tao and his companions naturally couldn’t sleep anymore and stayed up all night guarding the surroundings of the tree.
