Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1499 - 625: Retractable Poison Needle

Back at the dining table, Tu Li always tried various ways to seduce Wang Tao. But once Wang Tao followed her to the Liehuo Gang, she became somewhat restrained instead.

"Please, have a seat! I’ll make tea for you!"

Watching Tu Li swiftly leaving with a sway of her hips, Wang Tao felt somewhat out of place, wondering if this woman was playing a game of seduction and coyness.

Of course, Wang Tao didn’t have much interest in her, he just found it a bit amusing, nothing more.

So, Wang Tao just shook his head and then took a look around the room.

This was Tu Li’s boudoir, quite spacious. But instead of feminine decorations, it was filled with medical kits, cold weapons, and all sorts of odd items—clearly, Tu Li’s collection of treasures.

Wang Tao’s eyes immediately found a biological weapon amid the pile of miscellaneous items. Even though it was Level 5, its attributes were rather ordinary and thus, failed to catch Wang Tao’s interest.

The other things were some crafting materials and such. Without the corresponding blueprints, crafting materials were obviously useless.

On the other side, Tu Li took out her long-collected tea leaves. She didn’t actually like drinking tea; collecting such things was only meant for doing favors in the future, just like now.

After getting the tea leaves, Tu Li took a deep breath and silently cheered herself on. It wasn’t that she no longer wanted to continue seducing Wang Tao, she was just really nervous.

Previously at the restaurant, with so many acquaintances around and a bit of alcohol in her, she felt more at ease amidst the bustling atmosphere. But now, being alone with Wang Tao, she didn’t feel any romantic vibes, but rather, enormous pressure.

There was no helping it, after all, the man in front of her was a Sixth Rank Awakened!

She was different from other people at the base; they might have seen Sixth-Rank Lord Level creatures, but they had hardly ever fought one. She, on the other hand, was one of the few who had engaged with a Sixth Rank Lord creature and lived to tell the tale, albeit with the cost of nearly wiping out Liehuo Gang’s high-ranking members. If she hadn’t made it back, the Liehuo Gang might have ceased to exist by now.

Therefore, she knew just how powerful a Sixth Rank creature could be, and there was still some fear in her heart towards them.

Now, a living Sixth Rank Awakened stood before her, and they were alone... she couldn’t shake off the illusion that Wang Tao might slap her dead at any moment.

Thus, after returning to the Liehuo Gang, she felt more restrained because there were no others around to embolden her.

Of course, she also understood that this was her own issue, so she kept reminding herself silently that Wang Tao wasn’t a monster, and he wouldn’t kill her for no reason...

Back in her room, she saw Wang Tao, who seemed to be very interested in her collection of items.

Tu Li immediately said:

"Mr. Wang, these are just some weird trinkets I’ve collected. If you like anything, feel free to take it!"

However, she felt that these things weren’t that valuable and it was rather disrespectful to offer such toys, so she quickly added:

"Though, these things don’t really have much value..."

"There is value indeed, but I have no need of them," Wang Tao shook his head.

He had already found several biological weapons, and they were all related to plants. It seemed that Tu Li and her group had killed a number of mutated plants before.

The location of the Hongfeng Base, while not plagued with zombies, was surrounded by mountains and forests, so mutated plants were plentiful. This naturally posed a threat to humanity and since the military’s methods to control the mutated plants couldn’t be used outside the base, one had to fight their way through when leaving the base.

"Ah?" Tu Li was slightly startled by Wang Tao’s words and subconsciously asked, "Do you mean to say you know what these things are for?"

She collected these items partly out of a collector’s habit, and partly because some of them did seem quite unique. But after studying them for a long time and not knowing their purpose, she eventually concluded they were merely collectibles from killing monsters. But from what Wang Tao implied, he seemed to know what they were for?

Wang Tao didn’t waste words and directly picked up a dark green object about twenty centimeters long with one rounded end and the other end resembling a spike from the pile of collectibles.

Tu Li immediately explained upon seeing this:

"This was left behind by a Fifth-tier Lord Level mutated plant that we, several major gangs, collectively killed outside the base. It was covered in these spikes, which would cause poisoning if they hit us, causing us much trouble. Later, after much difficulty, we killed it, and most of its spikes softened, except for this one which remained hard. We thought to use it as a weapon but after testing, it turned out quite sturdy, but lacking poison and too short. Plus, nobody knew how to use such a weapon, so nobody wanted it. In the end, it ended up with me..."

Just as Tu Li finished speaking, the spike in Wang Tao’s hand suddenly lengthened!

Whoosh——

A two-meter-long spear-like spike suddenly appeared, the seemingly flickering green tip passing beside Tu Li, who was startled, hastily stepping back. She then looked at the two-meter-long spike in Wang Tao’s hand with a bit of dumbfounded bewilderment.

"What is..."

"A Retractable Poison Needle, a pretty decent biological weapon."

With a thought from Wang Tao, the spike instantly retracted, returning to the original twenty-centimeter-long sharp spike. Everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion.
