Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1691 - 713: Seeing Jiang Shixue Again_2

Wang Tao thought for a moment and said:

"I don’t know if you can perceive it, but you have impurities inside you that can affect your body and even your consciousness! As the impurities in Huizhou increase, they might turn you into a monster that only knows slaughter. When that happens, it’s like you’re already dead. But I don’t have any impurities inside me, and I also know how to remove these impurities! Let’s make a deal: you follow me and help me fight, and in return, I’ll help you remove the impurities from your body. How about it?"

Humans can sense the impurities inside them, so animals with more sensitive perception can naturally do so too. Perhaps people are not quite aware of the dangers of these impurities, but animals might be more aware.

So, when Wang Tao said this, the black cat’s struggle instantly weakened. Gradually, the red glow in the black cat’s eyes disappeared, and the violent emotions vanished as well.

"Meow~"

It asked Wang Tao if what he said was true.

The black cat didn’t exactly know what the internal impurities were, but it knew they weren’t good. It had to find a way to reduce them, or else it would die.

Previously, it was curious about Wang Tao because it sensed he was very strong, yet he had no impurities. But because it couldn’t communicate with humans and Wang Tao was too strong, it could only choose to leave.

Now, realizing Wang Tao could communicate with it and even said he could help it remove the impurities, and all it had to do was follow Wang Tao, losing a bit of freedom... it thought it could accept that compared to its life.

"Of course it’s true! Besides me, who else can see that you have impurities inside? Probably no one, since others can’t communicate with you..."

Wang Tao released the black cat, and this time it didn’t run away.

"Meow~"

The black cat looked at Wang Tao seriously.

"Don’t worry, I keep my word! But you need to tell me your situation so I can treat you accordingly..."

Wang Tao patted his chest and said.

"Meow..."

The black cat had no choice, it couldn’t win in a fight, couldn’t escape, and Wang Tao promised many benefits, so it could only choose to trust Wang Tao.

The black cat somewhat dejectedly jumped onto Wang Tao’s shoulder, rubbing its small head against his face.

"Haha!"

Wang Tao stroked the black cat, gaining great satisfaction in spirit.

He actually quite liked small animals like cats and dogs, but due to work, couldn’t keep them.

"Later, I’ll find you a playmate, so you’re not lonely."

Wang Tao thought of Lightning and considered bringing it over to accompany the black cat. Having both a cat and a dog had always been a small wish of his, and he never thought he would achieve it in the apocalypse.

For the companion Wang Tao mentioned, the black cat was obviously not very interested, giving a perfunctory meow.

"By the way, do you have a name? No? Then let me give you one..."

Wang Tao touched his chin.

This kind of black-backed, white-footed cat was beautifully named ’Seeking Plum Blossoms in Snow’ in ancient times, so Wang Tao said, "Let’s call you Taxue!"

"Meow~"

The black cat agreed.

Wang Tao asked the black cat some things while walking to the other side of the mountain. He was currently on the eastern side of Shuizhe Mountain and needed to go to the southern side.

Since he was on Shuizhe Mountain, Wang Tao was planning to check on Jiang Shixue’s situation. She should be on that side of the mountain.

In the previous life, the impurities in Jiang Shixue’s body reached 100%, turning her into a state that was neither human nor zombie. Although she eventually became a zombie and was saved by Wang Tao, if there was a chance, Wang Tao definitely wouldn’t want her to become a zombie. After all, he didn’t have a purification potion now, and its success rate wasn’t 100%...

Wang Tao had previously heard from Jiang Shixue that during the virus outbreak, she was on Shuizhe Mountain for a school-organized field trip. Fortunately, there were police present then, who led them to safety, avoiding the first wave of the crisis.

But that was just the first wave; later they encountered many issues that caused their team to scatter.

Jiang Shixue struggled to survive for a while, but as the zombies on the mountain became more numerous and the danger increased, she ended up being surrounded by zombies, facing a dead end. She could only choose between starving to death or being bitten by zombies.

While scavenging on the mountain, Jiang Shixue ate something that muddled her consciousness, making her emit the same scent as zombies. Although zombies no longer attacked her, she was no longer a normal human...

According to Jiang Shixue’s previous account, Wang Tao estimated that she had separated from the team and was struggling to survive alone at this time.

If he could find Jiang Shixue now, she should be okay. Of course, Wang Tao wasn’t entirely sure, as many things in this life were different from the last...

With Taxue, Wang Tao flew directly to the southern side of Shuizhe Mountain. Ignoring Taxue’s shocked little eyes, Wang Tao quickly took down the zombies in front of him.

"There are indeed many zombies here, all tourists, students..."

Wang Tao battled his way from the foothill to the top.

He didn’t know where Jiang Shixue was hiding, so he had to conduct a carpet search. Anyway, his perception was sharp, and he was very familiar with Jiang Shixue’s aura. If she was within a certain range, he could directly smell it.

"I’m looking for someone; you keep an eye out too..."

Wang Tao briefly explained to Taxue.

"Meow~"

Taxue indicated its understanding.

The zombies on the mountain were somewhat different from those in the city, as they carried some poisonous gas, making them stronger than ordinary zombies but not at the elite zombie level. They were still easily defeated by Wang Tao.

"Brother! Are you here to save us?"

"Shut up! Don’t speak!"

Inside a mountain village, when Wang Tao killed several zombies, a trembling voice came from one of the buildings. Others urged him to keep quiet to avoid attracting zombies.

By starlight, they vaguely saw a burly silhouette outside killing many zombies. They weren’t quite sure it was a person, but some couldn’t hold their excitement.

This group of tourists had been trapped here for three or four days, aware from the internet that the world had fallen, making rescue seem nearly impossible. Seeing a suspected rescue team now couldn’t help but excite them.

"You all stay hidden and don’t come out; a troop will come to rescue you in a couple of days! Just a couple of days, hang on!"

After finishing off the last zombie, Wang Tao spoke up.

His task was to find Jiang Shixue, leaving the rest of the survivors to be saved by Wei Zhenguo and his team. After all, there were many people on the mountain, and Wang Tao couldn’t take them all at once.

The survivors were ecstatic upon hearing Wang Tao, as their current situation allowed them to hold out for two or three more days, especially with hope around.

Wang Tao inquired about the students’ situation before continuing up the mountain.

He encountered many more survivors hiding in buildings and told them similarly to hold on for rescue.

The virus had just broken out not long ago, so the zombies weren’t very strong, and quite a few survivors were still alive.

By then, it was already dawn.

Wang Tao finally reached the place where the students were on their field trip. Although many students had turned into zombies, many were still alive.

Wang Tao released the black cat, and together they quickly dealt with these zombies.

The students hiding in the tunnel hadn’t realized that the zombies outside had been cleared.

Wang Tao directly went inside and asked about the situation, unexpectedly getting news about Jiang Shixue. These surviving students were previously together, but several policemen sacrificed themselves to save them, forcing a split. Part of them hid in this tourist attraction tunnel, while another small group, including Jiang Shixue, were forced to run up the mountain.

So Wang Tao continued ascending the mountain with Taxue.

Suddenly, Wang Tao’s nose twitched. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"Found her!"

He promptly followed the scent up the mountain, and in a dense forest, he saw a petite figure covered in yellow mud from head to toe, lying motionless on the grass. Not far away, three zombies were staggering toward her.

...

"Don’t come over, please don’t come over..."

Lying on the grass, Jiang Shixue silently prayed, but unfortunately, the two zombies headed straight for her.

"It’s over..."

Seeing this, Jiang Shixue, already weakened by hunger, was filled with despair but instinctively crawled up to run back.

Thud—

But she suddenly collided with a burly figure.
