Chapter 1719: Chapter 727: New Discoveries in Synthetic Crystal Core

[HP:20000/20000]

[Mana:10000/10000]

[Level: Level 2 - Lord]

[Ability: Bleeding Virus]

[Bleeding Virus: A small chance to inflict a lasting bleed virus during attack]

This Level 2 Zombie Rat has twenty thousand HP; its ability is virus-infused attacks, though only a small chance of activation. After all, it’s just an ability, not an awakening. If it were an awakening, it would surely trigger one hundred percent.

Of course, regardless of its virus activation probability, it makes no difference to Wang Tao, because Wang Tao won’t be hit by it.

Szzzzz——

After the Zombie Rat Lord led its minions into the courtyard and killed Ou Yingying and the others, Wang Tao finally appeared on the rooftop. He then directly swept two Heat Energy Beams toward the Zombie Rat.

Once the Heat Energy Beam hit this Level 2 Lord-Class Zombie Rat, it only took a second or two for its HP to drop to half!

"Squee——"

If it were a mutated creature, it would definitely retreat at this point; but it’s a zombie, without pain, or fear, so it didn’t retreat but instead accelerated, making a sudden leap toward Wang Tao on the rooftop.

This Zombie Rat Lord was as large as a big dog, its entire body rotting, muscles exposed, eyes blood-red, and its teeth dripping with disgusting yellow-green slime...

The mere sight of this horrifying form is enough to instill immense fear, plus the unreserved aura of the Level 2 Lord emanating from it... anyone else would probably be too scared to move at this point.

But Wang Tao remained motionless, firing the two Heat Energy Beams without reservation onto the Zombie Rat Lord.

The Zombie Rat Lord jumped very high and died just as quickly.

From the moment it spotted Wang Tao, rushed, jumped toward Wang Tao, to its HP completely depleted, it took only a few seconds.

Bang!

This Level 2 Zombie Rat Lord fell heavily to the ground, incidentally crushing many Ordinary Zombie Rats.

With the Lord dead, the Zombie Rat swarm instantly fell into chaos. Those several Level 2 Elite Zombie Rats howled, attempting to lead the swarm to attack Wang Tao, but they weren’t Lords, and couldn’t control the chaotic rat swarm, only rushing toward Wang Tao themselves.

Facing Level 2 Lords, Wang Tao could almost kill them instantly, let alone these Level 2 Elites.

Szzzzz——

They charged over, and then died. View the correct content at NovelFire

After several Zombie Rat Elites died, the swarm was completely out of control. Some wanted to attack Wang Tao, some ran into the residential area, and others ran into the sewers.

Their perception wasn’t as strong as that of the Lords and Elites; many Zombie Rats couldn’t sense Wang Tao, so they just ran away.

Wang Tao couldn’t stop them, so he could only kill as many as possible.

A minute later, the area near the small courtyard was piled high with Zombie Rat corpses, resembling a small mountain.

"What a pity..."

Wang Tao shook his head helplessly.

These Zombie Rats are clearly a big threat; as long as they’re not completely eradicated, a new Lord will surely emerge among them. With their large numbers and underground movement, they are likely to cause substantial trouble for Shuize Base.

But Wang Tao’s abilities are limited; with so many Zombie Rats scattering, he couldn’t stop them, could only try to kill as many as possible. View the correct content at NovelFire.

Taxue had already begun to skillfully pick up the spoils of war, while Wang Tao came to the corpse of the Level 2 Zombie Rat Lord, its dropped Crystal Core was orange.

[Level 2 Crystal Core·Bleeding Virus]

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effect: Skin sensitive to sunlight)]

[Bleeding Virus: A small chance to inflict a lasting bleed virus during attack]

This crystal core is the zombie rat’s ability. Judging by the description, this ability doesn’t look particularly strong, and the side effect of skin sensitive to sunlight isn’t small either.

Previously, the [Shockwave] crystal core’s side effect was "Eyes sensitive to sunlight"; this core’s side effect is "Skin sensitive to sunlight". If someone merges with these crystal cores successfully, they will likely be unable to act during the day, effectively making them the human version of Night Demon...

After putting away the crystal core, Wang Tao looked toward the purple spoils of war light cluster.

[Obtained: Level 2 Crystal Core·Bleeding Virus x1]

[Obtained: Antidote Potion x1]

[Obtained: Bleeding Dagger x1]

This included another orange [Bleeding Virus] crystal core, a bottle of potion, and a piece of weapon.

[Antidote Potion: Can cure most poisons]

This type of Antidote Potion, Wang Tao also acquired quite a few in his past life, though they were all things obtained by killing poison attribute Lords Level 4 and above. To obtain such an Antidote Potion in the early days of the apocalypse is indeed quite good. Wang Tao probably won’t need it himself; since his constitution is "Virus Immunity", he can only give it to others.

[Bleeding Dagger]

[Second stage Excellence]

[Durability +200, Attack power +20, Attack speed +5%, small chance to inflict Bleed Effect during attack]

This dagger looks somewhat like the front teeth of a Zombie Rat, appears somewhat ugly. As for the attributes, they aren’t bad. Although the attack power isn’t high, it boosts attack speed and carries a probabilistic bleed effect, so overall it’s decent. Wang Tao himself won’t need it; he can pass it on to someone else when needed.

Wang Tao then collected the spoils of war dropped by several Level 2 Elites.

[Obtained: Second-stage Crystal Core·Blood Volume x1]

[Obtained: Second-stage Crystal Core·Blood Volume x1]

[Obtained: Antidote Potion x1]

[...]

Compared to the spoils from the Zombie Rat Lord, Wang Tao preferred the ones from these Elite Zombie Rats. Because the crystal cores they dropped are exactly what Wang Tao currently needs, though upon seeing the specific attributes of the Level 2 Crystal Core, Wang Tao frowned slightly.
