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

Killing the Chainsaw Zombie brought Wang Tao an Advanced Special Energy and an Awakening Key. He now had amassed 5 Awakening Keys!

The Chainsaw Zombie dropped three items and burst out five Loot Packs.

The three items were the Red Crystal Core in its head, an Awakening Energy Pearl, and its chainsaw.

[Acquired: Fourth Order Crystal Core: Promotion x1]

[Acquired: Awakening Energy Pearl x1]

[Acquired: Fourth-Order Weapon·Bloody Chainsaw]

The Ascension Crystal Core and Energy Pearl need no mention, but this chainsaw – it’s actually a fourth-order weapon!

[Fourth-Order Weapon·Bloody Chainsaw]

[HP: 10000/10000 (Upper limit 100000)]

[Enhancement: Bone Removal]

[Compatibility: 0%]

[Bone Removal: Can directly strip away life energy]

[Note: The upper limit of HP cannot be increased using crystal cores; it can only be raised by killing lifeforms of level 3 or higher]

Upon seeing the attributes of the Bloody Chainsaw, Wang Tao suddenly understood.

No wonder the Chainsaw Zombie directly killed the zombies after chopping them in half. It turned out that this chainsaw could directly strip away life energy!

That meant this chainsaw was very effective against zombies! There was no need to aim specifically for the zombies’ heads; hitting their bodies could kill them too!

The Bloody Chainsaw’s upper limit of HP increased differently from other weapons; it couldn’t be enhanced using crystal cores and could only be raised through killing lifeforms of level 3 or higher.

However, for Wang Tao, this was not bad news. Because the consumption for upgrading fourth-order weapons was too great, he didn’t have enough crystal cores. Being able to raise its potential through killing zombies was the best possible outcome.

The only question was how strong exactly was the attack power of this Bloody Chainsaw…

Unable to contain his curiosity, Wang Tao fed the chainsaw some crystal cores to increase the compatibility slightly and tested it on a few zombies.

Then Wang Tao frowned.

The damage of the Bloody Chainsaw… wasn’t high!

When the Chainsaw Zombie wielded the chainsaw, it could chop the Entangling Roots causing over thirty thousand damage to HP, killing many zombies with a single cut.

But after Wang Tao’s tests, he found that the damage of this chainsaw was about the same as when he fought with his bare hands.

Moreover, the mechanism of this chainsaw was very peculiar; the chainsaw itself lost HP while being used!

Wang Tao had never seen equipment that lost HP before. No wonder it had a health bar.

Luckily though, every time it killed a zombie, it would regenerate HP and the upper limit of its HP would increase.

If it could continuously kill zombies, then it would be fine. But if it couldn’t kill zombies, then it might end up ‘dying’ itself…

As for why its damage was so low… it was obviously because of that Chainsaw Zombie. Its Awakening [Cutting] was a pure attacking ability. [Cutting] combined with the [Bloody Chainsaw] had an effect greater than the sum of their parts.

…

After returning to the high wall, Wang Tao checked the five Loot Packs once more.

The first Crystal Core Gift Bag contained a total of five crystal cores: a red [Level 4 Crystal Core – Awakening], a purple [Fourth-Order Crystal Core: Versatility], a blue [Level 4 Crystal Core – Strength], another red [Level 4 Crystal Core – Mental Defense], and an orange [Fourth-Order Crystal Core: High Speed Rotation].

There was one Awakening Crystal Core, which was not bad. Wang Tao had seen most of the other crystal cores before, but he was seeing the last core for the first time.

[Fourth-Order Crystal Core: High Speed Rotation]

[Quality: Orange (100%)]

[Purity: 35% (Side effect: Reduced vision)]

[High Speed Rotation: Consumes energy to rotate at a balanced, high speed]

This was the ability the Chainsaw Zombie had used before.

The description alone didn’t hint at how powerful this ability could be. However, considering the Chainsaw Zombie’s prior engagement, if one had a suitable weapon to hand, this ability could be terrifying.

Wang Tao looked toward the second Loot Pack.

[Acquired: Cleansing Potion x20]

[Acquired: Purification Agent (Experimental) x5]

[Acquired: Deactivating Potion (Experimental) x20]

“Eh?”

Upon seeing the contents of this Loot Pack, Wang Tao thought he had seen wrong.

He rubbed his eyes, but there was no mistake! These were Cleansing Potions, Purification Agents, and Deactivating Potions!

[Detoxification Potion: Can eliminate 1% of impurities in the body]

[Purification Agent (Experimental): When used on zombies mutated for no longer than 3 days, there’s a certain probability to purify the virus in their bodies, and a certain probability to cause self-combustion. Ineffective against zombies mutated for over 3 days (Note: This potion is an experimental version with certain unknown side effects)]

[Deactivating Potion (Experimental): Can reduce the zombie virus activity in the infected for 3 to 10 days. After the decrease in virus activity, the mutation into a zombie will not occur]

Previously, Wang Tao had only obtained one [Detoxification Potion], one [Purification Agent (Experimental)], and two cases of Deactivating Potion [Experimental].

Besides acquiring Deactivating Potion after Wu Fei’s mutation into a zombie, the rest were obtained from the Green-eyed Zombie below Shuize First Hospital.

Wang Tao had hypothesized that such potions could only drop from doctor-class zombies. But since he hadn’t encountered any special doctor zombies afterward, he couldn’t confirm his guess.

But now, Wang Tao felt his guess must be correct!

He had previously thought that this Chainsaw Zombie’s past life seemed a bit like a doctor’s, except it was too incongruous holding a chainsaw. Now it appeared that it really was a doctor.

Of these three potions, Wang Tao most coveted the Detoxification Potion. He had gotten five bottles previously and, after using them sparingly, now only had one bottle left.
