Apocalypse: I Can See the Health Bar, Kill Monsters and Drop Treasures Chapter 83

Chapter 83 Survivors in the mall

"So fast?"

Wang Tao was very surprised. He thought it would take some time to make the food compressor like before, but he didn't expect it to be completed in an instant.

　　【Charge Right Arm: Tough in texture, can block knives and guns. Durability +10, defense +10]

 This is a black asymmetrical hard arm guard worn on the forearm. It feels a bit metallic but is very light.

The size of this arm guard can be adjusted. After adjusting it a little, Wang Tao removed the steel plate on his right arm and put on the arm guard.

"Huh?"

Wang Tao was a little surprised by the feeling after wearing it.

Whether there is a book or a steel plate tied to his arm, the presence of the book or steel plate can be clearly felt. And no matter how well the binding is and how reasonable the design is, it will still affect his movements to some extent.

 But after wearing this arm guard, the presence of the arm guard is not too strong, but it can make him feel that he is wearing an arm guard. And more importantly, this arm guard almost does not affect his movements at all! This ergonomic design is simply amazing!

 No wonder it's called the “Charge Right Arm”. It's completely tailor-made for the right arm. If you switch it to the left arm, there will be no effect of this design.

 “I just don't know how the defense is…”

Wang Tao took out a dagger and gently cut the arm guard. There are no marks on the arm guards. Wang Tao increased his strength, but there was still no trace. Even if he directly cuts the arm guard with a dagger, the arm guard will still not move at all. He didn't even feel the impact.

 “There's something…”

After thinking about it, Wang Tao took off the arm guard and placed it on the ground. Then he picked up the fire ax and slashed hard at the arm guard.

boom!

There was a layer of dust on the ground, but the arm guard was still fine, not even a trace was left.

"nice one!"

 Wang Tao was overjoyed.

The defensive power of this charging right arm feels stronger than a steel plate! And in terms of usage experience, it is much stronger than steel plates!

Wang Tao quickly put on the arm guard again, then put on the top of his security uniform and put the arm guard inside. It looked like he had nothing on his forearm.

“The defense power is basically no problem, let's look at the actual combat effect...”

There were no zombies in the shopping mall, but the actual battle was not really about killing zombies. There happened to be a cobblestone pier outside his shop. He swung his ax at the cobblestone pier and made an attack motion.

  Whoosh—bang!

 A large piece of the cobblestone pier was directly chopped off.

Feeling the slightly numb palm, Wang Tao was dumbfounded.

 No, he just made a swiping motion without really wanting to cut it down. What is going on?

Wang Tao hurriedly hid in the room, waited for a while, and after making sure that the noise did not attract zombies, he touched the charge's right arm, and then quickly tried to swing the ax a few times. This time he was no longer facing the cobblestone, but the clothes in the room.

  Whoosh—bang!

 After a few minutes of experimenting, Wang Tao's eyes lit up.

 “I seem to understand... No wonder it's called the charging right arm!”

Wang Tao discovered that after wearing this charging right arm, if he made some fast movements, such as punching, swinging an ax, etc., the charging right arm would give him a certain strength and speed bonus to his movements!

He doesn't know the specific bonus, but it definitely exceeds his own ability by a lot!

For example, if he could kill zombies with 500 HP with one ax before, now he might be able to slash 600, 700 or even 800 HP!

Wang Tao carefully studied the charging right arm, and then found a small mechanism inside the arm guard. After opening it, there was a battery inside. It's the technological-looking battery he explodes from zombies.

“It turns out that it uses electricity. No wonder the production materials require cables, electronic components and batteries...what kind of black technology!”

 Happily put the arm guards back on.

 He felt that this thing was a bit like a mechanical exoskeleton. If in addition to this right arm, there is also a left arm, leg protection, chest protection, etc., wouldn't it really be possible to create an exoskeleton?

 “What are you thinking about…”

Wang Tao shook his head.

But even if these things exist, they are far away to him now, so there is no need to think too much about them.

After calming down for a while, Wang Tao took out his walkie-talkie and tried to contact Ding Yuqin.

This mall is about three kilometers away from Xingfu Community. In theory, it should be possible to contact him. It depends on the quality of the walkie-talkie in his hand.

 “It's me, can you hear me? It's me...”

 “Zizzi…zizi…”

 After the sizzling sound, an electric voice suddenly came from inside.

 "Wang Tao...is that you? Wang Tao...Zi Zi..."

Although the sound was a little distorted, Wang Tao could still tell that it was Ding Yuqin.

So he walked out of the house, adjusted his position, and finally heard a fairly clear conversation by a window.

“Wang Tao, how are you doing over there? Are you safe?”

Ding Yuqin's voice was full of worry. After Wang Tao left, she didn't turn off the walkie-talkie and kept waiting for news from Wang Tao.

“Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm fine. I'm safe here. Where are you? Nothing happened at home, right?”

Wang Tao heard Ding Yuqin's voice and felt that she should be very safe.

Sure enough, Ding Yuqin said that she was very safe at home, with no zombies and no food crisis, but she was a little scared to be alone at home - in fact, she was afraid that Wang Tao would leave her, but she was too embarrassed to say it directly.

“Sister-in-law, don't worry, it will only take about…these two days. I will go back and take you to the Shuizhe Survivor Base.”

After these two days of observation, Wang Tao feels that this Shuize base is not bad, at least he will have no problem living here.

After his status as a committee member was confirmed and he became the base's superior, he went to pick up Ding Yuqin.

Of course, even without the status of committee member, it will not have much influence on Wang Tao. He has always relied on his strength. But having this identity will be a lot more convenient after all, so I'll wait for another two days.

 “Okay, I'll wait for you to come back at home!”

 After chatting with Ding Yuqin for a few more words, Wang Tao took the initiative to end the call.

“The charging right arm has been made, and the situation on Ding Yuqin's side has been understood. Let's stop by the Borui Clinic, which is not far from here. I hope I can meet a special zombie who is alone on the way...”

Thinking in his mind, Wang Tao picked up his weapon again and prepared to leave.

 Suddenly, his ears twitched.

 “There's something going on upstairs!”

Wang Tao quickly found a corner to hide and stared at the stairs of the shopping mall.

 About ten seconds later, a figure with sinister eyebrows and stern eyes appeared from the stairs.

Hand holding a baseball bat with steel spikes in his hand, he cautiously came to the first floor. There is a green health bar on the head [115/115]

 “Are there any survivors?”

Wang Tao frowned.

He thought it was a zombie just now, but he didn't expect it to be a human.

Looking at the way this man held the steel-nailed baseball bat tightly and then searched around, Wang Tao felt that this man had some evil intentions.

“His behavior was obviously that he saw me. And I didn't go out when I came to the mall, so he either had a camera, or he saw me killing zombies in the square before…”

Wang Tao glanced at the ceiling on the first floor of the mall. There were some cameras, but the wires were broken in some places. There was no electricity in the mall, so the surveillance here would most likely not work.

Wang Tao estimated that this person should have seen the process of killing zombies.

If this man was kind to him, Wang Tao felt that he should call him after he came down, instead of sneaking up on him with a weapon.

“I don't know what he wants to do—just catch him and ask him!”

Wang Tao never minds speculating on others with the greatest malice, especially this is still the end of the world. It's always good to be careful.

While watching this person move toward him little by little, Wang Tao took a small mirror and placed it on the ground. Then he stood behind the wall, motionless.

From the mirror, I saw that this person was getting closer and closer, until he was just a corner away from Wang Tao. Wang Tao suddenly jumped out from behind the other person, immediately hugged the other person's neck, and took away his weapon. "Well…"

The man's eyes widened instantly, with a look of horror on his face. His hands wanted Wang Tao's arms, his body moved wildly, and his feet kicked wildly.

 But he felt like he was being clamped by an iron vise, and any resistance was useless. On the contrary, the more he moved, the tighter he got.

Just when he felt his eyes going dark, the restraint on his neck suddenly disappeared.

 “Cough cough…huh…cough cough…”

Without support, the man instantly fell to his knees, holding his neck and retching.

But before he could catch his breath, a big hand suddenly appeared and grabbed him by the collar.

Looking at the man in front of him who was wearing a black combat uniform, a skull mask and yellow glasses, who was over 1.8 meters tall and so burly that he almost peed in fear.

 "Ahem...don't kill me...ahem...I..."

Wang Tao held his baseball bat in his other hand, waved it in front of him, and then said in a cold tone:

 “What do you want to do? Attack me?”

 “No…no! I didn't even know there was anyone here…”

 The man quickly explained.

 But after hearing this, Wang Tao's face darkened.

The other party has obviously discovered him, but still wants to hide it? This person really has bad intentions!

Wang Tao poked the man in the chest with the bottom of a baseball bat.

 “Uh-ah-”

The man's face instantly turned blue, and tears poured out like a bursting dam.

 When Wang Tao was a martial artist, he came into contact with masters who played with cold weapons, which naturally included sticks.

 The old master said that in actual combat, for novices, waving a stick to hit people is not actually the best move. Because sticks are generally relatively long, they will not be swung too fast and can be easily dodged, and people's strength is limited, so even if they hit, they won't cause too much damage.

  But "poke stick" is different. As long as you stab the enemy's chest with a stick, few people can withstand the blow unless they have received professional training or have protective gear.

Wang Tao never fights with anyone, and his acting movements are all specially designed, so there is no chance of actual combat. Now that he had just tried it a little, he could only say that a master is a master, and this gentle poke was indeed unbearable.

 “Let me ask you again, why did you want to sneak attack me?”

Wang Tao parked his car outside the square. His car should not be visible from this location in the mall. When he came to kill zombies, he didn't bring any other supplies with him. So in the eyes of the survivors in the shopping mall, he should be an ordinary person with few supplies. There was no need for the other party to sneak attack him... Wang Tao was puzzled, so he wanted to know the answer.

“I, I really didn't… didn't want to make a sneak attack…”

The man still refused to admit it.

 So tough-mouthed?

Wang Tao originally thought he was being tough and was going to poke him again. But after seeing a hint of grievance in his frightened expression, Wang Tao temporarily stopped and let go of him.

"May I have your name?"

“I, ahem—my name is Yang Laoqi…I'm really not a sneak attack…”

Yang Laoqi knelt on the ground again, covering his chest and coughing. He felt aggrieved!

He had clearly seen Wang Tao headshot a zombie upstairs with an axe. Wang Tao dealt with the zombies in the square like a whack-mole!

Only those who have actually fought zombies can understand how strong Wang Tao is! Wang Tao could easily defeat a group of them by himself!

Facing such a strong man, even if you give him ten courages, he wouldn't dare to fight anyone!

The reason why he came down secretly was because he clearly saw Wang Tao entering the mall from upstairs, but he never went up.

Their boss didn't know what Wang Tao was doing down there, or even whether Wang Tao had left somewhere else, so he sent him down to check on the situation.

 As a result, he was knocked down before he saw anyone, and he was not even given a chance to defend himself.

In just this short minute, Yang Laoqi felt like he had died several times.

 Devil, this man is simply a devil!

"You really didn't attack me by surprise?" Wang Tao was speechless, but he didn't apologize at all. Because it is true that this person lied. Even if it was not a sneak attack, he certainly had no good intentions.

 “I'll give you a chance to explain. If the reason doesn't satisfy me, then I'm sorry…”

Wang Tao waved the steel-nailed baseball bat in his hand and spoke in an indifferent tone.

 “Ahem—”

Yang Laoqi was a little anxious. Although Wang Tao didn't say "I'm sorry", he didn't dare to gamble. And after just one minute of contact, he knew that this person was definitely not a good person! But the reason is not that easy to find. He can't say that his boss is specially guarding against the other party!

 boss...that's right!

Yang Laoqi suddenly had an idea.

"Ahem, that's it. Our boss saw you coming and wanted me to invite you up! Yes, it's an invitation, I'm here to invite you up!"

Yang Laoqi was very satisfied with his excuse. He is not here for a sneak attack, but to invite people up! This big guy got it wrong!

In this case, he doesn't expect any apology from the other party. He just hopes that the other party will not torture him.

 “Oh? Boss? Invitation? How many of you are there?”

Wang Tao asked directly.

"Our boss's name is Cao Xin. He used to be in the clothing business here. I'm his employee. There are four of us now, just on the top floor! Our boss wants to invite you upstairs to have a chat..."

Yang Laoqi did not dare to hide it and quickly told the news. But the invitation was fake, and he felt that Wang Tao should not dare to go...

Wang Tao knew that this man was not telling the truth.

But now he has more than a thousand drops of blood, has superpowers, has a steel plate on his body, a charging right arm, and a pistol loaded with bullets in his waist... With his strength, he can't defeat some zombie monsters. , how many people can't you beat? And Wang Tao wants to know what is going on on the first floor and whether there are any special zombies here...

Of course, if he really misunderstood and the characters of these survivors were really good, then he could also recruit people into the base. Getting a survivor will increase your contribution a lot.

 “Lead the way!”

Wang Tao said directly.

 “Huh? Oh, okay…”

Yang Laoqi complained a little, he didn't expect this big guy to actually go up! He was afraid that he would be skinned by the boss when he went back, but he didn't have the courage to resist Wang Tao. So I could only lead Wang Tao upstairs aggrievedly.

Wang Tao followed Yang Laoqi slowly and nervously. Although he feels he can handle these survivors, he is not careless.

The stairs in this old shopping mall are large and the view is very good. After walking a few steps, Wang Tao saw the people upstairs.

 There were three people in total, matching the number of people Yang Laoqi said. These people held weapons such as sticks and steel pipes in their hands.

 Seeing Wang Tao coming up, these people were obviously a little surprised. They all looked at the bald man in the middle who was more than 1.7 meters tall.

The bald man glared at Yang Laoqi fiercely, and then a very polite smile appeared on his face full of flesh.

"Hello! My name is Cao Xin. I used to do some clothing business here..."

 After getting closer, Wang Tao discovered that some of Cao Xin's exposed skin was covered with tattoos.

Wang Tao does not discriminate against tattoos, but as a businessman, if you wear such flowers on your body, is this a serious business?

 “Hello, I am Chen Zhuang.”

Wang Tao made nonsense.

"welcome!"

The bald man stretched out his hands from afar, but Wang Tao gave him a face and stretched out his hand to shake his hand.

As soon as the bald man got closer to Wang Tao, he suddenly felt a pressure on his face. Especially the **** ax on his waist. He felt that he might not be able to withstand the opponent's axe...

Others feel it even more clearly. In their eyes, their boss is already a burly, muscular man, who looks very stressful at ordinary times. But compared to Wang Tao, he was nothing compared to Wang Tao. The boss's figure is at least two times smaller than Wang Tao's. Especially Wang Tao, who wears a skull mask on his face and a few **** axes on his waist... He looks exactly like the villain on TV!

 “Come on, please come in!”

The bald man enthusiastically led Wang Tao to a room with an open door.

Wang Tao carefully observed the situation around him, especially these few people. There is no superpower and no hidden attributes. But I have killed zombies more or less, and the health bar is basically a little over 100.

 The one with the most health bars is their boss, with [205/205] health. This probably killed about twenty zombies.

 The layout of the third floor of the shopping mall is similar to that of the first floor. It is also divided into areas one after another. But other areas are blocked by things. Only the left and right areas are accessible.

On the right is the hall where the bald men are.

On the left is a small iron door locked with a rusty iron chain, which seems to be a warehouse. Wang Tao glanced at the iron gate, and then followed the bald man to the hall.
