Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1687 - 711 Ascension to Level 1_2

And now, he can distinguish whether the movements in the building are made by humans or zombies just by listening to the sounds. Because zombies don’t breathe, but humans do.

In other words, as long as he wants, he can hear the breathing of everyone in the entire apartment building, and as for conversations, there’s no need to mention!

Beyond hearing, his vision and sense of smell have also greatly improved. Including spiritual power, which previously could only sense within a one-meter radius around him, now extends directly to a ten-meter radius!

In terms of perception, even ability users specialized in perception cannot match Wang Tao.

And then there is [Steel Body], which is simply the enhancement of physical strength, spiritual strength, stamina, etc.

Especially when combined with [Sky-controlling Flight], the effect is even more apparent. Before, just a short flight would make Wang Tao feel exhausted. But now, he can fly continuously for three to five minutes without any problem!

"Now this is what you call Sky-controlling Flight! Before it was just a jump..."

Wang Tao is very pleased with this.

He took out his phone to check the time, realizing it was still early, Wang Tao turned his gaze to the dense crowd of zombies in the distant plaza.

Although they are all Level 1 Ordinary Zombies, they would still drop Crystal Cores. Since he’s already here, why not collect more Crystal Cores to make this trip worthwhile!

"Might as well test my current power..."

Whoosh——

Wang Tao flew directly out from the apartment building and hovered over the plaza.

Since the effect of the Stealth Potion he injected earlier has yet to wear off, it’s as if these zombies can’t see him at all.

Red light flashed from Wang Tao’s eyes.

Sizzle——

Two Heat Energy Beams instantly focused and penetrated several zombies, then Wang Tao slowly turned his head, the zombies fell down in rows like mowing grass, the beams were the sickle, and the zombies were the grass!

In just a short moment, there wasn’t a single complete zombie left on the entire plaza; everywhere was filled with fragments, Crystal Cores, and bursts of spoils of war scattered all over.

"Phew—Using Heat Energy Beam and Sky-controlling Flight together for a long time is indeed a bit tiring, but it’s truly exhilarating!"

Seeing such destructive power from the Heat Energy Beam, Wang Tao grinned.

Whether it’s zombies with 500 HP or 1000 HP, they get instantly killed as soon as the beam touches their head!

Unfortunately, there are no Elite Zombies here, so Wang Tao couldn’t test his maximum attack power, as all were instantly killed.

Thud——

Wang Tao landed on the ground and quickly scavenged the spoils.

After confirming there were no omissions, Wang Tao took off again and flew back to the apartment building where he had just stayed.

He planned to eat something first, replenish his physical strength, and meanwhile fuse these many Crystal Cores, then go in search of other Elite Zombies.

Wang Tao took out the fast food from his Space Backpack, ate until he was seventy percent full, then began synthesizing Crystal Cores.

Initially, Wang Tao thought these Ordinary Zombies would only drop [HP] Crystal Cores, but now having hunted more zombies, he realized that’s not the case.

He had just killed over a thousand Level 1 Ordinary Zombies, and the Crystal Cores they dropped included not only [HP], but also [Mana], [Constitution], [agility], and [Spirit]!

This piqued Wang Tao’s curiosity; he immediately synthesized those Crystal Cores, and with no impurities detected, began the fusion process.

Wang Tao first fused [Mana], but as expected, no mana bar appeared for him. He did not feel any enhancement either.

Evidently, the [Mana] Crystal Core is completely useless for Wang Tao.

Then Wang Tao tried the [Constitution] Crystal Core, and after fusion, he clearly felt that his physical condition increased slightly.

Finally, with [agility] and [Spirit], Wang Tao similarly felt his speed increase slightly, agility having improved a little, while spiritual power also enhanced a little bit.

"These five attributes may be the basic attributes of humans. For humans to become strong, having abilities alone is not enough; they must also hunt zombies to fuse these basic Crystal Cores!"

Wang Tao placed the [Mana] Crystal Core into his Space Backpack, starting to fuse the other four types of Crystal Cores. Synthesized, these Crystal Cores numbered five hundred, Wang Tao threw them into his mouth like eating beans.

After spending some time, Wang Tao finally completed the fusion of all the Crystal Cores.

Wang Tao carefully sensed a slight enhancement in his overall strength. He was quite satisfied with this. In the past life, humans could only fuse Crystal Cores related to their abilities, which had significant limitations. In this life, being able to fuse more Crystal Cores allowed for a clearly higher ceiling.

"Should I reveal the information related to Crystal Cores?"

Wang Tao frowned slightly.

Though the world is now in chaos, the network signal hasn’t been cut off, and survivors can still surf the net and make calls. So if Wang Tao decided to share some knowledge, other survivors should quickly see it.

The reason for Wang Tao’s hesitation wasn’t personal unwillingness to share but rather due to his preliminary plan for this lifetime—to crazily enhance his strength without concerning himself with other humans.

In his past life, Wang Tao recognized the pattern of "the stronger the average human strength, the stronger the zombies and monsters would be," "the strength of zombies and monsters would be slightly higher than humans."

If humans develop steadily, the overall strength will never surpass that of the zombies and monsters, potentially leading to repeating the mistakes of the past.

But it is not without a solution, and that is the method previously used by the Bishop—enhancing his power alone without concerning himself with others, even deliberately suppressing others from growing stronger.

This way, although the Bishop personally was very strong, the average human strength wasn’t too high, hence the strength of the zombies and monsters wouldn’t be excessively strong, allowing the Bishop to become a Savior.

Unfortunately, the protagonist’s method was disrupted by Wang Tao, as Wang Tao not only enhanced his power but also helped those around him and the entire Changhe Base improve their strength. The result was that zombies and monsters grew increasingly stronger, beyond their ability to combat...

In this lifetime, Wang Tao isn’t planning to concern himself with others. While humans remain generally weak, he will quickly increase his strength. Even if he alone becomes very powerful, as long as it’s averaged out among all humans, the average human strength won’t be excessively high, thus giving Wang Tao a chance to solve the apocalypse crisis!

Therefore, Wang Tao hesitated a bit on whether to disclose some information about the apocalypse. If all survivors become stronger due to this, wouldn’t that increase his difficulty!

However, after considering for a while, Wang Tao decided he still needed to reveal some information, at least about how to stay alive.

Wang Tao wants to resolve the apocalypse crisis, but not just for himself; he wants to save all humanity.

If, in the end, all zombies and monsters are eliminated, the apocalypse crisis is thoroughly resolved, but every other human is dead, leaving only him...that would still be an apocalypse for Wang Tao—a personal one. Wang Tao certainly would not be willing for that.

So-called greater power comes with greater responsibility. Since he’s been reborn, if he can’t save all humanity, then what’s the point of being reborn? Furthermore, the number of usages before [Time Travel] also appeared to be used by him; if he can’t save all humanity, then it betrays the efforts he made in the past!

Therefore, Wang Tao planned to reveal some information after going back at night. He wouldn’t actively help survivors enhance their power, but if he could save their lives, Wang Tao would extend a helping hand.

Moreover, the more humans survive, the lower the average strength will be. Just like at the Changhe Base, in a relatively safe environment, most humans are unwilling to take risks to enhance their strength, allowing them to lower average human strength, which is beneficial for Wang Tao’s plan to save humanity.

Having understood all this, Wang Tao felt he had rested enough.

He went out again, planning to look for Elite Zombies.

Suddenly, a tall shadow flashed past the street corner in the distance.

"Zombie Lord? Is there already a Zombie Lord appearing so soon?"

Wang Tao immediately gave chase.
