Chapter 1688: Chapter 712 The Terrifying Monster of the Previous Life

"Is it really that capable of running..."

The Zombie Lord Wang Tao had been tracking was constantly running, occasionally ducking into buildings; if Wang Tao wasn’t capable of short flights, he might have lost track of it.

Finally, the Zombie Lord came to a stop at a place Wang Tao found somewhat familiar—the Water Plant.

In his previous life, Wang Tao had chased an airdrop to the water plant. There, he faced the Big Hammer Zombie, and after a hard-fought battle, he was trapped in the plant for three days. He witnessed the "Hundred Corpses Night Walk" and eventually met Han Rui and her team... A lot happened in those three days at the water plant.

But at that time, Wang Tao had arrived half a month after the zombie virus outbreak, whereas now, only three days had passed since the outbreak, so the situation should be somewhat different.

Wang Tao landed on the tallest building of the water plant, from where he could clearly see many survivors inside the main building.

The water plant’s location was relatively remote, usually with few people, mostly just the plant’s employees. However, it was a large area with ample water resources and surrounded by barbed wire, making it relatively safe. It’s reasonable that sharp-witted survivors would seek refuge here.

Wang Tao observed closely; there seemed to be about twenty people inside the main building. However, there were more than twenty zombies outside the main building, so they were clearly trapped inside. The gate outside the water plant wasn’t locked, so these zombies likely came in from outside.

Meanwhile, the Zombie Lord had entered another building. There appeared to be no one inside, but Wang Tao saw many zombies. Judging by their clothing, they all seemed to be water plant employees, somehow locked inside.

As the Zombie Lord approached this building, the zombies inside let out roars, eager to get out. However, the water plant’s large iron gate was very sturdy, and those zombies couldn’t break through.

The Zombie Lord pounded on the gate twice, but to no avail; given its current strength, it couldn’t break the gate.

Thud——

Suddenly, the Zombie Lord heard movement behind it and turned its head, spotting Wang Tao standing not too far away.

"Roar——"

It roared angrily and charged directly at Wang Tao.

[HP: 10000/10000]

[Mana: 5000/5000]

[Level: First-stage Lord]

[Ability: Rush]

This Zombie Lord, though only a First-stage, had a full 10,000 HP. In the previous life, this would have certainly been Level Two attributes.

However, for the current Wang Tao, it wasn’t much of an issue.

Whoosh——

Wang Tao’s right foot stomped powerfully, and he propelled himself like a cannonball toward the Zombie Lord, his scarlet cloak flapping in the wind. Wang Tao clenched his right fist, aiming it directly at the zombie.

Bang!

[-1024]

The Zombie Lord was caught off guard, sent flying by Wang Tao’s punch, crashing into the building’s outer wall.

With that one punch, Wang Tao had taken a tenth of the Zombie Lord’s HP.

This only enraged the zombie further. It roared, staggering to its feet, but by then Wang Tao was upon it, swinging his fist, the size of a clay pot, down onto its head.

[-512]

[-553]

[-586]

[...]

The Zombie Lord was utterly dazed, probably never having been beaten like this since becoming a zombie.

In just a brief moment, the Zombie Lord’s HP had dropped to less than half.

Then, Wang Tao noticed a red glow appear in the zombie’s eyes. He immediately ceased his attack and took to the air.

Just as Wang Tao ascended, the Zombie Lord suddenly dashed forward with remarkable speed.

Crash——Boom! freёwebnoѵel.com

The Zombie Lord missed its target, crashing headfirst into another nearby building. The concrete wall was forcefully breached by its impact. It seemed a bit dazed, swaying and unable to recover quickly.

Whoosh——

Wang Tao landed behind it, continuing his onslaught with his fists.

When the Zombie Lord finally shook off its dizziness, it had just a sliver of HP left.

Bang!

[-192]

[0/10000]

With one final punch, Wang Tao emptied the zombie’s blood bar.

"Not bad."

Wang Tao was quite satisfied with his recent burst of power, having cleaned up a First-stage Lord zombie with 10,000 HP in about thirty seconds without taking any damage. With more enhancement, Wang Tao estimated he could shrink that time to ten seconds, or even five.

The orb dropped by the Zombie Lord was purple, clearly higher-level than the elite blue ones, just as Wang Tao had anticipated.

Wang Tao first collected a [Rush] crystal core, then examined the items within the purple orb.

[Acquired: Level 1 Crystal Core·Rush x1]

[Acquired: Running Potion x1]

[Acquired: Swift Boots x1]

There were three items in total: one [Rush] crystal core, one speed potion, and a pair of shoes. Compared to the previous life, the loot from hunting Zombie Lords in this life was clearly much less. Previously, the crystal cores alone would come in an entire Crystal Core Gift Bag, containing several. Now there was only one, not to mention other loot packs.

However, in this life, the crystal cores in the loot orb retained consistency with the zombies’ abilities. It seemed that killing them would always result in a Superpower Crystal Core drop, which essentially meant Wang Tao could acquire two crystal cores with the same ability for each elite or lord zombie he defeated.

The synthesis of a Level 1 crystal core required only two cores to remove all impurities. So for Wang Tao, this might be a good thing, making his crystal core fusion process much easier.

Wang Tao synthesized the two [Rush] crystal cores into one without any side effects and then proceeded to fuse it himself.
