Chapter 1733: Chapter 734: The Airdrop Has Arrived

After Zhao Yuan died, Wang Tao took his phone. He would definitely have to tell Ding Yuqin about this later, and Zhao Yuan’s phone was the evidence.

The matter of Zhao Yuan caused a small stir at Red Stone Base. Everyone found out that Zhao Yuan had joined the military through deceit, and now, after being discovered, he was executed by firing squad. Although the military could have kept the news hidden, there was no need. This incident served as a warning to deter anyone with similar thoughts.

Wang Tao rested at Red Stone Base for one night and did not rush to leave the next day. He planned to stay here for two more days before departing.

This was because he heard from Bai Hao that there seemed to be some Level 2 Zombies in the area.

A couple of days ago, Bai Hao encountered a zombie that appeared very powerful. He wasn’t sure if it was a Level 2 Zombie, but it felt stronger than the Level 1 Zombies he had seen before.

To ascend to Level 3, a large number of Level 2 Crystal Cores are needed, so Wang Tao couldn’t miss any opportunity to obtain Level 2 Crystal Cores.

Thus, early the next morning, Wang Tao left Red Stone Base with Jiang Shixue and Taxue, flying towards the location Bai Hao mentioned. It was an underground shopping mall in Red Stone County, and there seemed to be survivors inside. However, all the passages were blocked off, and outside, there was a zombie suspected to be a Level 2 Lord, so Bai Hao didn’t dare to act recklessly. He also wasn’t sure if the survivors inside were still alive...

Soon, Wang Tao flew to one of the entrances of the underground mall. Just as Bai Hao described, the entrance was sealed off. But the zombies at the entrance were far more numerous than Bai Hao had said. It was a dense mass, extending as far as the eye could see.

"It seems the survivors below might still be alive, which is good news..."

Wang Tao stood on a rooftop, his gaze directed at the zombie herd. Soon, Wang Tao spotted his target.

"Sure enough, it’s a Level 2 Zombie Lord, along with several Level 2 Elite Zombies and a number of Level 2 Common Zombie minions. Not bad, not bad!"

What Wang Tao wanted to encounter most right now were Ordinary Zombies, because Ordinary Zombies dropped Basic Attribute Crystal Cores. Elite and Lord Zombies usually drop Superpower Crystal Cores, and Wang Tao didn’t need Superpower Crystal Cores at the moment; he just needed these basic cores to ascend to Level 3.

[HP: 50000/50000]

[Mana: 20000/20000]

[Level: Level 2 - Lord]

[Ability: Barrier]

[Barrier: During its duration, it can enhance defense and slowly recover certain injuries]

This Level 2 Zombie was tall and very fat, weighing at least five hundred kilograms. Considering its ability, it was clearly a zombie proficient in defense.

For others, this type of zombie would be troublesome, and they might not be able to break its defense even after a long battle. But for Wang Tao, it was simply a live target!

Sizzle——

Without any prelude, he opened with two Heat Energy Beams.

This fat Level 2 Zombie Lord probably didn’t expect a sneak attack, especially one from above. It had no way to defend, and its HP dropped rapidly.

Even though it had a defensive ability, wasn’t slow, and had fifty thousand HP—the most HP of any creature Wang Tao had seen in this life—it still couldn’t withstand Wang Tao’s Heat Energy Beams. Huge amounts of damage floated away from its head, and it collapsed before Wang Tao even touched the ground.

Wang Tao continued attacking, focusing on the surrounding zombies, giving extra attention to the few Level 2 Elite Zombies. Moments later, there were no standing zombies outside the underground mall.

Wang Tao called Jiang Shixue and Taxue to start collecting the spoils of war from the other zombies.

He then checked what this Level 2 Zombie Lord had dropped.

[Obtained: Level 2 Crystal Core · Barrier x1]

The [Barrier] Crystal Core it dropped was no different from the ones in his previous life and was considered a decent crystal core. The defense enhancement wasn’t really important; the main point was its ability to slowly regenerate HP.

Before the appearance of Healing Attributes, there were very few means of regeneration, making regenerative abilities quite strong in the early stages. So this [Barrier] was considered pretty good.

Then there were the light globes representing its spoils of war.

[Obtained: Level 2 Crystal Core · Barrier x1]

[Obtained: Strength Potion x1]

[Obtained: Barrier Battle Shield x1]

The crystal core was the same as before, both of orange quality, Wang Tao also had a Strength Potion on hand, then there was this square shield.

[Barrier Battle Shield]

[Level 2 (Excellent)]

[Durability +200, Defense +20, Defense +5%, Low chance of HP regeneration when hit while holding the shield]

The attributes of this shield were somewhat surprising to Wang Tao, not only did it increase a fixed amount of defense, but it also increased percentage defense. More importantly, it regenerated HP when attacked while holding the shield! Although the probability of regeneration was low, it was still HP regen.

In the early days of the apocalypse, anything that could heal or regenerate, any item with regenerative capabilities, was extremely rare and hard to come by. Now this shield could be comparable to a regenerative ability!

Unfortunately, Wang Tao didn’t use shields; otherwise, he might have used this equipment himself. As for now, Wang Tao first asked Jiang Shixue, who said she didn’t need a shield. Her strengths were speed and agility, and although this shield was powerful, it wasn’t suitable for her.

"Then we’ll take it back and see who needs it later."

After collecting all the spoils that this Level 2 Zombie Lord had dropped, Wang Tao looked at the spoils dropped by the few Level 2 Elite Zombies and Level 2 Common Zombies.

The Elite Zombies’ spoils were also [Barrier] Crystal Cores, which were decent. The Level 2 Common Zombies, on the other hand, dropped [Constitution] Crystal Cores, exactly what Wang Tao needed.

Happy with all the spoils, Wang Tao reached the entrance to the underground mall, listening carefully and feeling that indeed, there were people talking inside. They were all hiding underground, too scared to come out, only able to listen to the sounds outside.
