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

Chapter 481: Chapter 211 Encounter with the Plant Monster Again_2

[Quality: Ordinary (20%)]

[Purity: 40% (Side effect: bodily suppurate)]

[Defense: Passive Ability, enhances personal defense]

An extremely ordinary Level 3 Defense Crystal Core.

As for the loot, it actually dropped three Loot Packs, but the contents of these packs were also quite run-of-the-mill.

The first pack contained a Crystal Core Gift Bag with only one Crystal Core inside, and it was a Defense one. Luckily, it was of Blue Quality, which was somewhat better than the one he currently had.

The second pack held a bunch of materials that ordinary zombies could drop.

The third pack was [Defense Potion (small) x10], and the items inside this pack were relatively decent.

“This type of zombie should be what they’ve cultivated. Indeed weak, feels like a beefed-up Level 2 Common Zombie. However, for others, it might still prove a bit difficult to handle…”

Wang Tao felt that if all the Level 3 Zombies were of this caliber, then Zijin Base, having called for so many hands, should be able to handle them.

But how many Ascension Crystal Cores these zombies could drop was another story…

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue continued searching for the entrance to the underground parking lot.

Along the way, they encountered several more of these Level 3 Zombies, all of which Wang Tao easily dispatched.

“Brother, it seems we can go down here.”

While passing through a corridor, Jiang Shixue suddenly spoke up.

Following Jiang Shixue’s gaze, Wang Tao saw a large hole at the end of the corridor, surrounded by many spiky tendrils.

Wang Tao hurried over.

Looking into the hole, he could see the roofs of several small cars.

Beneath was the parking lot!

Wang Tao didn’t rush down but instead studied the hole first.

From the damage around the hole, Wang Tao had a feeling… as if something had burst out of the ground, creating a large hollow in the floor!

Could it have been that Plant Monster’s doing?

Wang Tao pondered.

He took out his walkie-talkie to get in touch with Lan Yulian.

“This is Wang Tao, how are things on your end?”

“Ssshh… ssshh…”

After some static, Lan Yulian’s voice came through.

“This is Lan Yulian. We’re safe for now, no casualties. How about you? Are you safe?”

“I’m safe over here,” Wang Tao replied, nodding his head.

“By the way, why did you take Little Xue away? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is here? You brought Little Xue here, but then you even left with her alone! If I hadn’t been afraid of disturbing you by contacting you rashly, I would have yelled at you a long time ago. You…”

As Lan Yulian spoke, Lu Yingfeng’s voice could be heard in the background. She seemed a bit angry as well.

Hearing their conversation, Wang Tao didn’t get angry; instead, he smiled.

Because he could feel that Lan Yulian genuinely cared about Jiang Shixue.

In Lan Yulian’s eyes, Jiang Shixue was a somewhat ditsy, lovable little girl. She hadn’t expected that when Wang Tao left, Jiang Shixue would be in the car too. She was even more surprised that Wang Tao had taken Jiang Shixue with him when he departed on his own!

If it weren’t for the bad timing, she would definitely have come over to give Wang Tao a good scolding.

“Is she worried about me?” Jiang Shixue asked beside Wang Tao with some confusion.

“Yes,” Wang Tao replied, patting Jiang Shixue’s little head, then said into the walkie-talkie:

“I took Little Xue with me because she has some Special Abilities that are useful to me. Don’t worry, I’ll protect Little Xue. Don’t you trust my strength?”

Wang Tao intended to explain Jiang Shixue’s capabilities, but then he thought better of it. He was planning to let Little Xue scare Lan Yulian later on, to satisfy his own mischievous urges.

“…Forget it, you’ve already taken her. There’s nothing I can do about that now. I just hope you can keep your word!” Lan Yulian sighed with some resignation.

“Don’t worry. So, where have you gotten to now?” Wang Tao changed the subject.

“We’re on our way… There are too many zombies around, a lot of Level 3 Ordinary Zombies and we’ve even encountered a few Level 3 Elite Zombies. We haven’t made it to District E yet…”

At the mention of business, Lan Yulian immediately composed herself and quickly briefed Wang Tao.

“That’s decent progress,” Wang Tao estimated that based on their speed, it would take another thirty minutes to reach District E.

“But I’ve got an Ascension Crystal Core!” Lan Yulian suddenly announced.

“…An Ascension Crystal Core? Congratulations!” Wang Tao was a bit surprised; he hadn’t expected Lan Yulian to be so lucky.

“What about you? Have you got anything good, did you manage to get an Ascension Crystal Core?” Lan Yulian asked.

“…I’m busy now, let’s leave it at that,” Wang Tao ended the conversation decisively.

He had killed 5 Level 3 Elite Zombies and obtained 10 Crystal Cores, but not a single one was an Ascension Crystal Core…

Wang Tao had thought these zombies wouldn’t drop Ascension Crystal Cores, but it turned out Lan Yulian got one.

“Damn. So, it’s just my bad luck…”

Shaking his head resignedly, Wang Tao looked at Jiang Shixue beside him and said:

“Let’s head out.”

“Okay.”

After taking a careful look and ensuring that it was safe below, Wang Tao jumped down.

Thump—

He landed lightly on the roof of a car.

Jiang Shixue followed suit and dropped down after him.

“There are so many plants…”

After descending, Wang Tao noticed that the underground parking lot was filled with plants. Tendrils, moss, tree roots, and some unidentifiable plants…

“Feels like we’ve entered the lair of that Plant Monster…”

Wang Tao quipped.

But an abundance of plants also had its advantages for him. For instance, right now, he immediately located the Plant Monster!
