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

Evening.

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue left Zijin Base.

As they jumped down from the tall wall, Jiang Shixue suddenly whispered,

“Those little babies were quite cute…”

Thud—

The two landed, and the surrounding zombies, sensing Wang Tao’s presence, immediately pounced on them.

Wang Tao casually sent out a shockwave that shattered the zombies. He turned his head to look at Jiang Shixue. His green eyes betrayed no emotion.

Jiang Shixue scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.

“Cough, I mean…”

“They were quite cute,” Wang Tao interrupted her, then added, “Let’s go, see if there are any four-level zombies.”

“Oh~”

There were many zombies outside the base. Wang Tao didn’t want to waste time with them, so he directly used a Stealth Potion.

Jiang Shixue’s physical condition was special; she had the effect of a Stealth Potion naturally, so she didn’t need to use one.

After using the Stealth Potion, the zombies around them quieted down a lot. As long as Wang Tao didn’t get too close to them or linger near them, they wouldn’t usually be attacked.

First, Wang Tao went to the place where the four Level 4 Lord zombies had died.

A day had passed, and the flesh and blood of those four Level 3 Lords could still be seen.

Zombies don’t have the habit of cannibalizing each other, so these remains were left untouched.

Wang Tao searched the area but found no Crystal Cores. He wondered if the zombies had kicked them away since zombies don’t eat Crystal Cores.

Confirming there was nothing to be found, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue went to other areas around the base to look but found nothing there either.

However, Wang Tao wasn’t in a hurry. He was prepared to wander outside for the night and search thoroughly.

“Hmm? Two Level 3 Lords?”

At some distance from the base, Wang Tao spotted two Level 3 Lord zombies, each with 60,000 HP.

These two zombies were clearly heading towards the base. Wang Tao’s first instinct was to kill them, but he quickly restrained himself.

The previous four Level 3 Lords had been killed by a four-level zombie. If that four-level zombie was nearby, wouldn’t these two Level 3 Lords be targeted as well?

Wang Tao thought it was a definite possibility.

Hence, Wang Tao didn’t kill the two Level 3 Lords; instead, he followed them.

In a horde like this, following those two zombies would normally be difficult. After all, Wang Tao used a Stealth Potion, not an invisibility potion; getting too close to the zombies would get him discovered.

Luckily, Wang Tao had the Perception Ability, which allowed him to track the two Level 3 Lords from a distance. He didn’t have to worry about being detected by the two zombies; he just had to be careful of the others around him.

After tracking them for a while, the two Lord zombies arrived outside Zijin Base. They seemed eager to get in, lured by the many human scents inside, but alas, the wall was too high for them to scale.

“Roar—”

Both Level 3 Lords were extremely enraged. They even commanded the ordinary zombies around them to attack the high wall.

But it was clearly a futile effort.

After being busy for quite some time with no success, one of the Lords dispersed the other zombies but the other Lord seemed reluctant to do so.

The two Lords growled at each other.

Wang Tao, watching from afar, was surprised.

“Eh? Zombies can quarrel? This is enlightening…”

“Not only are they quarreling, they seem about to come to blows?”

Jiang Shixue hadn’t finished speaking when the two Lords started fighting!

One punched, another slapped, as if they were children squabbling.

But these were Level 3 Lords with formidable bodies. Their punches and slaps could cause serious damage. In the blink of an eye, both zombies had lost a significant amount of HP.

“This is really eye-opening, seeing zombies fight for the first time—wait!”

Wang Tao was initially ready to enjoy the spectacle, but suddenly he felt something was off.

Regardless of whether zombies fight among themselves, even if they did, would these Lord zombies attack each other with such a turn-based style? But Lords have Abilities! They seemed to be seriously fighting, but they weren’t using any Abilities? Using Abilities should be instinctive for zombies, right? Had they lost their instincts?

Something wasn’t right!

Especially when the HP of the two Lords kept dropping, yet they stuck to this turn-based fighting style, Wang Tao was now certain that something was wrong with these zombies!

“In this situation…” Wang Tao turned to Jiang Shixue, “I get the feeling that these two Level 3 Lords are being controlled.”

“I have the same feeling!”

Jiang Shixue nodded.

Come to think of it, both Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue had the ability to control others.

However, their methods of control were different.

Jiang Shixue could somewhat manipulate others’ thoughts through her Hidden Ability, the Eyes of Contract.

Though it was called control, it was actually more like guidance, or giving a suggestion that made one subconsciously follow Jiang Shixue’s intention. This ability could not affect those of the same level, only those weaker than her. The weaker the opponent’s spiritual power, the easier for Jiang Shixue to succeed.

Her ability wasn’t very useful in combat since she could defeat those she could control, and she couldn’t control those she couldn’t defeat… Especially since zombies had very simple minds, or rather no minds at all. Guiding them was quite troublesome for Jiang Shixue…

As for Wang Tao’s control ability, it was Mental Disturbance.
