Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1682 - 709: So You’re Called a Zombie

Even after having killed countless zombies, Wang Tao still felt exhilarated watching the zombie ahead of him be instantly killed by his punch.

After all, this was the first zombie he encountered, and he had to put quite an effort into it at the time. But now he could kill it in a single punch. This feeling was indeed exhilarating!

However, after killing this zombie, Wang Tao unexpectedly discovered a white orb jumping out from the cracked skull of the zombie, hovering in mid-air. At the same time, a very clean orange crystal core fell to the ground.

"What is this? Even a zombie like this has a crystal core?"

Wang Tao felt curious.

He touched the white orb with his hand and found it contained a large bottle of purified water.

[Obtained: purified water (small) x1]

[purified water (small): 5L, can be consumed]

"Is this the loot pack from my previous life? Why has it turned into this..."

Although somewhat confused, since it’s a loot pack, there’s no problem. Moreover, when he killed this zombie in his previous life, it also dropped a bottle of purified water.

Wang Tao put the purified water into the Space Backpack and then looked at the crystal core.

[Level 1 Crystal Core·Blood Volume]

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 50% (Side Effects: None)]

[Blood Volume: Increase the blood volume upper limit by 10]

"Huh?"

In the past, Wang Tao had obtained crystal cores that increased blood volume upper limit, called "Blood Volume Increase," and the smallest ones started at Level 3, boosting blood volume by 1000.

And now this crystal core is called [Blood Volume], only Level 1, and can only increase the blood volume upper limit by 10 points. Quite different from what he’d seen before.

Wang Tao suddenly remembered something and quickly checked his attribute panel.

His blood volume was still [100/100], with no increase at all! According to memories from his previous life, after killing this zombie, his blood volume upper limit increased by 5 points.

This means that killing zombies doesn’t increase the blood volume upper limit now? Only through these [Blood Volume] crystal cores can it be enhanced?

Wang Tao frowned slightly, temporarily uncertain if this change was good or bad. But the crystal core contained impurities, and Wang Tao certainly didn’t want any impurities within himself. He quickly placed the crystal core in the Space Backpack and indeed saw the "Synthetic" option.

"Alright, at least it can be synthesized. Once I get another Blood Volume crystal core, I’ll synthesize and then check it out."

Wang Tao shook his head and suddenly turned around to glance at the 502 room’s door across.

Clatter—

There was some movement inside the door.

Wang Tao smiled slightly but didn’t go over; instead, he headed straight upstairs.

Just now, his actions in hunting the zombie were clearly witnessed by Ding Yuqin across the door.

Coming back after rebirth, Wang Tao naturally planned to look after Ding Yuqin. But she was safe for now, so he shouldn’t worry about her yet. Wang Tao had to seize this time to gather resources and enhance his power.

The zombie he just killed was the owner of the 602 room, and at this time, the door to 602 was wide open. Wang Tao knew there were some resources inside, but instead of going in, he looked at the security door of 601.

Bang, bang, bang—

Knocking sounds came from inside 601, accompanied by two faint growls.

This house contained a middle-aged couple, just like in the previous life, now both turned into zombies.

Wang Tao didn’t have the key to 601, but it wasn’t a big problem. He looked at the door lock, and his eyes emitted red light.

Buzz, buzz—

Two heat energy beams directly hit the door lock, melting it completely in an instant.

Click—

The door opened.

One zombie was in the foyer, the other in the living room. Upon discovering Wang Tao outside the door, they immediately lunged forward, one after the other.

"Heh heh..."

Buzz, buzz—

Two heat energy beams instantly penetrated the first zombie’s skull, and without losing momentum, pierced through the second zombie’s skull as well.

[-500]

[0/500]

[-500]

[0/500]

The two zombies were instantly killed, and two white orbs and two crystal cores jumped out of their bodies.

"You’re definitely called a zombie, huh!"

The feeling of instantly killing zombies in the early days of the apocalypse was truly exhilarating!

Wang Tao grinned and then looked at the spoils of war.

"I must say, the way these crystal cores just jump out of the skull is quite convenient."

Both crystal cores were Level 1 [Blood Volume] crystal cores, one red and one blue.

Wang Tao first checked the two orbs, which contained two bottles of nutrient solution.

[Obtained: Nutrient Solution x1]

[Obtained: Nutrient Solution x1]

[Nutrient Solution: Provides the daily energy required by an ordinary adult male]

"Turns out they’re nutrient solutions... not bad!"

In the previous life, obtaining these nutrient solutions required specific devices to first explode, followed by food production. But now, they can be directly extracted from zombies.

It’s quite a good thing because food is still very precious now.

After storing away the nutrient solutions, Wang Tao synthesized the red and blue [Blood Volume] crystal cores. Moments later, a pure Level 1 [Blood Volume] crystal core appeared in Wang Tao’s hand.

Wang Tao immediately put it into his mouth for fusion.

Soon, he felt a warm current flowing through his body, very comfortable.

He looked at his attribute panel.

[Blood Volume: 110/110]

[Level: Zero-level]

The blood volume upper limit increased by 10 points, but the level stayed at zero.

In the previous life, fusing the crystal core would lead to Level 1, but it involved a crystal core containing Ability. Now, the fused crystal core did not contain any Ability, only increased the blood volume upper limit... so Wang Tao figured this life might be similar to the previous one, where he needs to fuse a crystal core with Ability to ascend to Level 1.

No big deal, according to the previous life, elite zombies have Ability, so once he goes back out, killing a few elite zombies will do the trick.
