Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1474 - 613: The Pattern of Acquiring the Power of Laws_2

Chapter 1474: Chapter 613: The Pattern of Acquiring the Power of Laws_2

Whoosh——

Wang Tao spread his wings, immediately flew above the Disaster Zombie’s head, then burst into flames all over, raised his fire blade high, and heavily slashed down.

[-31282 HP]

[-3128 HP]

[...]

[Curse: Slaying]

Wang Tao fought for so long yesterday without triggering a single slaying. But today, the very first slash triggered it... It can only be said that this Disaster Zombie was just unlucky.

Roar!

The zombie roared angrily, stretched out two long arms, and reached for Wang Tao.

Although Wang Tao’s defensive power was not weak, there was no need to clash head-on with the zombie when he could avoid it. So, Wang Tao flapped his wings and immediately retreated, leaving the Disaster Zombie grasping at air.

It can’t be denied, the enhancement flying ability brings to combat is indeed significant. Whether it allows for rapid kills or not, at the very least the self-preservation capability is strong. If he couldn’t beat it, he’d just flee!

Moreover, with two healers continuously healing him from behind, and others occasionally providing long-range support, Wang Tao hardly had any worries. Thus, the battle ended quickly, almost as fast as when he hunted a Sixth Rank Lord Zombie.

Boom——

With the last slash, the Disaster Zombie’s HP bar was emptied. Wang Tao quickly gathered the spoils of war and immediately planted the Awakening Seed that burst forth directly into its body.

It’s ironic when you think about it, this Disaster Zombie originally came for those soon-to-ripen Awakening Fruits. In the end, it didn’t get any fruit and became fertilizer instead...

However, soon after, Wang Tao’s brows furrowed again.

"How come I only gained 1% Basic Law Force this time?"

Wang Tao’s Basic Law Force had reached 34%, just 1% more than yesterday’s 33%... This was completely different from what he expected!

"Isn’t it said that killing a Sixth Rank Disaster-level creature would grant 10% Basic Law Power? Why has it gone back to 1% again? Could it be that the previous time was just good luck?"

Wang Tao felt it shouldn’t be a matter of luck, because his luck was always very good, so good that even Wang Tao himself thought it seemed a bit fake. Good luck for others is normal for him...

So, if it was really about good luck to get a one-time 10% Basic Law Force, then Wang Tao would have already gotten it, and most likely he would have gotten it this time too, not just 1%...

Shaking his head, Wang Tao decided to temporarily stop thinking about it. He had other matters to attend to, and he would research this thoroughly once he was done.

After the death of the Disaster Zombie, the rest of the zombies did not disperse but continued to linger around the Awakening Fruit Tree, waiting for the Awakening Fruits to ripen.

Without a Lord Zombie to lead them, these zombies were indeed very dumb.

Wang Tao and his people didn’t hold back either; they charged into the midst of the Zombie Herd for a battle, not sparing a single one. Before the Awakening Fruits ripened, they wiped out all the zombies around here.

The leaves of the Awakening Fruit Tree rustled without wind, and the tree gradually began to decay. One by one, the golden Awakening Fruits dropped. Wang Tao and his companions quickly collected all these fruits.

"With these fruits, we can make lots of Gene Potions and awakening potions again!"

Wang Tao grinned and laughed.

Before the discovery of Gene Potions and awakening potions, the Awakening Fruits’ effects were decent but not that critical, the kind of thing that is "nice to have but not a big deal if you don’t."

Now, to put it mildly, the Awakening Fruit can make humans stronger and even trigger awakenings. More broadly, this could be the future of humanity!

So even Wang Tao couldn’t suppress his excitement.

Now it seems like there are more Disaster Zombies, but this also means there are more Awakening Fruits. In the future, using a large number of Awakening Fruits to make awakening potions to awaken mankind, to enhance humanity’s overall strength, then it might turn out to be a good thing... Thus, every situation has two sides; it depends on how you look at it.

"Alright, let’s head to our next target location."

Wang Tao beckoned to the others.

Although they encountered another Disaster-level zombie by chance today, it didn’t cost them too much time; their subsequent plan could still carry on.

On the back of the Golden Eagle, Wang Tao recounted the issue of obtaining only 1% Basic Law Force this time. Unable to figure it out himself for the time being, he decided to let everyone participate in a brainstorming session.

After receiving this information, others asked Wang Tao some questions, then Han Rui suddenly said:

"Is it possible that you got 10% of the Basic Law Force because the Disaster Zombie you defeated belonged to the Psychic System?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Tao responded subconsciously, "You mean the Psychic System provides more Basic Law strength—that’s not right!"

Logically, even if the Psychic System provided more, it shouldn’t be ten times as much. Hence, Wang Tao suddenly thought of another question.

"The Disaster Zombie was of the Psychic System, and I also have a Psychic Awakening, making me a Psychic Awakener... Are you suggesting that because we are both of the Psychic System, I obtained ten times more Basic Law Force?"

"Yes, that’s exactly what I mean! This is one of the few commonalities between you two that I could find. You might need to hunt Disaster Zombies of the same System to get more Law Force..."

Han Rui was a police officer before the Apocalypse, and an excellent detective at that, skilled at catching the important clues from minor bits of evidence. She felt her conjecture was very likely correct, but since it was still a guess, she didn’t express it with absolute certainty.

Wang Tao was naturally not slow-witted. He hadn’t even considered this possibility before, but now hearing Han Rui’s speculation, he immediately felt that it should be the correct answer!

He is a Psychic Awakener, and the Disaster Zombie he killed was also of the Psychic System. The Basic Law Force within both of them should be more compatible, so he got the direct 10%!

And the Disaster Zombie he hunted today did not belong to any particular system, or at least not one that matched, so perhaps there was a lot of waste in the process of absorbing the Basic Awakening Power of the other, which is why only 1% of the Basic Law Force was obtained...

As for whether this conjecture is correct or not, he would know the next time he encounters an enemy with the power of laws!

"I think Little Rui is right! If that’s the case, from now on, we should aim to find Disaster Zombies of the same attribute... However, I have four Awakenings, so the probability should be higher..."

Wang Tao said, stroking his chin.

He has four types of Awakening: Fire System, Dark Series, Psychic System, and System Awakening.

In the future, if he encounters zombies of these four attributes, and the Basic Law Force obtained after killing them is higher, then it will prove that Han Rui’s speculation is correct.

In the process of their discussion, they soon arrived at the second target location.

Wang Tao had previously obtained research materials on the Ancestral Virus at the first target, so he was very hopeful about this second target.

As expected, the research institute was already occupied by zombies, including a Sixth-Rank Lord Zombie.

[HP: 1000000/1000000]

[Mana: 1000000/1000000]

[Level: Sixth-Rank Lord]

[Awakening: Tenacity]

[Tenacity: All Basic Attributes increased, significant enhancement in Strength and Defense]

This is a Sixth-Rank Lord Zombie of the System type, which posed basically no threat to Wang Tao, not to mention that Wang Tao was accompanied by members of the Starfire Society.

"Lucky, this zombie has the Basic Law Force!"

Without a second word, Wang Tao charged forward. In just a moment, the head of the Sixth-Rank Lord Zombie was cleaved by Wang Tao.

"Eh?"

As Wang Tao was collecting the spoils of war, he suddenly exclaimed.

"This zombie has granted me 5% of the Basic Law Force!"

Han Rui’s speculation was indeed correct!

And not only Disaster-level, but Lord Rank can also provide it. Only that Lord Rank grants 5%, while Disaster-level grants 10%!

"But why didn’t I receive any additional Law Force when I hunted those Giant Zombies with power of Laws?"

"Perhaps there’s only one explanation—[Giant] Awakening is not part of the System..."

In any case, no matter how you look at it, this is definitely good news.

Wang Tao’s Basic Law Force has now reached 39%. If he’s lucky, he would just need a few more encounters with Disaster Zombies of the same attribute to accumulate 100% of the Basic Law Force!

Wang Tao felt like he had taken another step closer to reaching the Seventh Level.
