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

Wang Tao released the two women, then turned to He Jijun and said:

“Old He, let’s head home.”

“Hold tight!”

Whirring—

The helicopter dipped slightly and swiftly headed towards the military base.

In the cabin.

Wang Tao looked at these familiar faces and slowly grinned.

“Seeing you all again, it’s really wonderful!”

Not a single one was missing from those core members who had escaped alive from Shuize County before!

Ding Yuqin, Han Rui, Li Qiuyu, Wei Zhenguo, Xiang Hongbin, Lu Gang, Chen Zhuang, Gao Hua.

Although they all looked weathered, clearly having suffered a great deal, it was good that they were alive!

Especially Xiang Hongbin, his situation had been truly tragic; he had lost half of his body. Though Wang Tao had saved his life, his limbs couldn’t be regenerated, and now he was a disabled person with only one hand and one arm. Still, he managed to survive stubbornly!

Wang Tao walked over and thumped Xiang Hongbin on the chest.

“Old Xiang! There aren’t many people I admire in this life, but you’re definitely one of them!”

“Haha! That’s my honor!”

Xiang Hongbin laughed, showing his scarred face that looked fierce when he smiled, but to Wang Tao, it felt incredibly endearing. The two embraced each other firmly.

Xiang Hongbin complained somewhat:

“Damn! It’s okay that you’re so muscular, but why do you have to be so tall? You’re what, two meters now? I have to look up to you!”

“Haha!”

Wang Tao laughed heartily and then moved over to Wei Zhenguo.

“Old Wei!”

“Brother Wang!”

The two said little and hugged each other tightly.

The friendship between men doesn’t require many words, a look or a gesture is often enough.

Of course, Wang Tao did want to have a chat with Wei Zhenguo, but it wasn’t urgent. They could talk slowly when they got back.

He went over to Lu Gang and Chen Zhuang next, bumped fists with them and shared a hug.

Back in Shuize Base, Wang Tao thought Lu Gang was quite young. Now, seeing him again, he appeared much more worn, yet he also seemed more manly.

As for Chen Zhuang, he had been a doctor in Shuize Base, someone who didn’t really engage in combat. But now, the various gear on him showed that though he was still a doctor, he carried not only a Surgical Knife but also a large machete.

“Brother Wang!”

Gao Hua looked at Wang Tao, somewhat excited.

In his life, he had made many right decisions, but after the apocalypse struck, there was only one decision he considered the most right one: clinging to Wang Tao’s coattails!

If not for Wang Tao, he likely would have died many times over.

After experiencing the despair of the apocalypse’s arrival, he couldn’t imagine that he might somehow survive for more than half a year!

“I’m so glad you’re still alive!”

Wang Tao had saved him on a whim, and Gao Hua himself had been tenacious; otherwise, he wouldn’t have made it to this point.

“All thanks to Brother Wang’s blessings!”

Gao Hua defined himself as someone who had sold his life to Wang Tao. So he didn’t need to say much; he would let his actions speak for themselves.

Wang Tao patted him on the shoulder, then approached Li Qiuyu.

He opened his arms, and Li Qiuyu also willingly embraced Wang Tao, though she didn’t speak. Her expression was somewhat sorrowful.

From the moment she boarded the helicopter and realized Jiang Shixue wasn’t there, Li Qiuyu knew that her daughter was likely gone.

Now all that was left was for Wang Tao to personally tell her the bad news, but a part of her deceptively didn’t want to hear it.

As long as she didn’t know for sure, Jiang Shixue would always possibly be alive—that was the only way she could deceive herself.

“What is it? Are you still mad at me?” Wang Tao suddenly asked.

Before they separated from Ding Yuqin and the others, Wang Tao had threatened Jiang Shixue with Li Qiuyu’s well-being to get Jiang Shixue to join him in luring away the Black Mist Monster.

“Ah? Mad? Why would I be mad?”

Li Qiuyu seemed rather baffled; she couldn’t recall what Wang Tao was referring to.

She had indeed spoken in anger before, saying things like if anything happened to Jiang Shixue, she would hate Wang Tao for her entire life. But that was all said in the heat of the moment. She was a sensible person and had not actually been truly angry with Wang Tao.

Seeing Li Qiuyu’s puzzled expression, Wang Tao suddenly found her somewhat adorable.

“Then what’s the matter?”

“I just… never mind… It’s nothing, I’m just too happy to see you…”

Li Qiuyu sighed, suddenly feeling a bit relieved.

Since she had already guessed the outcome, she decided not to inquire further. She would let Jiang Shixue live on forever in her heart.

Seeing Li Qiuyu’s demeanor, Wang Tao was close to revealing that Jiang Shixue was still alive, but he restrained himself. After all, a surprise was best kept for Li Qiuyu and Jiang Shixue to reveal, and he couldn’t spoil it in advance.

At that moment, Li Qiuyu suddenly spoke softly, her head lowered:

“Wang Tao, can I follow you from now on?”

“Of course!”

Wang Tao nodded at first, then suddenly realized that this “follow” might not be so simple.

“Thank you…”

During the time Li Qiuyu had spent with Ding Yuqin, Wei Zhenguo, and the others, she had learned a lot and gradually changed some of her prior views.

Now she had only two goals.

The first was to find Jiang Shixue, which now seemed hopeless.

The second was to live well, to strive to survive with all her might!

Because her life was not only her own, but also for those people who had sacrificed themselves along the way. If she died, wouldn’t it mean that all the others died in vain?
