Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 958 - 383 Attracting Zombies_2

"I agree!"

Qu Shilin immediately raised her hand with some excitement.

Upon hearing Qu Shilin's words, Wang Tao asked in surprise,

"Miss Qu, aren't you going back? I can take you back first. The Crystal Energy Car has an explosion mode, which will be very fast round-trip, and it won't delay my rescue mission."

"How could I miss such a rare opportunity! I'll stay with you. Don't worry about me, I'll just hide in the car!"

Despite the risks, Qu Shilin decided to stay.

She seldom had the chance to be on the front lines. It was indeed dangerous, but she would be with Wang Tao and his team, with 10 Awakeners, as Wang Tao had just mentioned!

Moreover, Wang Tao and his team were traveling light without any encumbrances— the only encumbrance might be herself—so she was sure there would be no problem escaping. And there was another point, she was directly involved in the research and development of the Crystal Energy Car, so she had a lot of confidence in her own vehicle!

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Qu Shilin added,

"Oh right, you can just call me by my name, no need to be so polite!"

Although it was just a formality, calling her Miss Qu was too distant. She had mentioned it to Wang Tao before, and he might have forgotten, so she reminded him again.

"Alright, then Shilin, let's go."

"Okay!"

Humming~

He Jijun immediately steered the wheel and headed towards the location Wang Tao had just marked on the map.

...

Cheng Yiyi was currently in a small-scale urban area that had a subway, though the network wasn't extensive. Many places had collapsed, forming natural barriers, so as long as they guarded the entrances well, they could avoid danger.

Of course, hiding wasn't a long-term solution. They had limited supplies, which at best could last another three days before they'd run out of food, and then they would have no choice but to rush out and fight for their lives.

In the dim light of the subway tunnel, faces filled with vigilance and a hint of despair were illuminated.

No one spoke; they all silently cleaned their guns, awaiting the Legion Commander's final order to rush into battle.

Just then, footsteps approached, and a group of people came over, led by a few Powered Armors.

Inside the lead Powered Armor, Cheng Yiyi looked at these resolute faces, took a deep breath, and said solemnly,

"Gentlemen, I just contacted our consultant Mr. Wang, who is preparing to lead a team to draw the zombies away and create an opportunity for us to escape... Our chance has come!"

Whoosh—

There weren't many soldiers in the Sixth Army Corps, but their discipline was strong. They didn't speak upon hearing this news, but one could clearly feel their breathing growing heavier.

If they could live, who would choose to die?

And the one coming to their rescue was their Legion's consultant, no less!

Although many did not know this consultant, merely aware that the Sixth Army Corps had such a person, and nothing more, they were willing to trust one of their own. Their own was certainly more reliable than outsiders; they wanted to trust their people!

The morale of the soldiers, which had been somewhat low, was now invigorated.

"Get ready for battle, everyone. We may need to rush out at any moment."

"Yes!"

Cheng Yiyi didn't say much else; after communicating the good news, she left.

They had been trapped for several days, and it was necessary to give everyone a morale boost.

Cheng Yiyi wasn't certain they could escape, but she chose to believe, and others were willing to believe as well.

However, some were not so confident.

"Can we really escape...?"

Deputy Legion Commander Lin Kaiyang looked worried.

There were too many zombies outside, and the Giant Eagle was terrifying. He not only doubted their ability to break out but also doubted whether Wang Tao would come to their rescue.

Wang Tao might talk the talk now, but when faced with the actual tide of zombies, he might back down... After all, luring the horde in such a massive scale was akin to courting death, not to mention the even more terrifying Giant Eagle lurking on some building. Anyway, Lin Kaiyang was somewhat pessimistic.

Hum~

The face shield of the Powered Armor lifted, revealing Cheng Yiyi's petite face. She looked at Lin Kaiyang with a firm tone,

"I trust Wang Tao's character; if he said he would come, he definitely will. Even if he truly can't make it, he will notify us in advance, not let us wait in vain. What we need now is to stay ready and seize the opportunity to break out!"

Seeing Cheng Yiyi place such trust in Wang Tao, Lin Kaiyang's face also became serious.

"Alright! Then let's get ready and wait for Consultant Wang's good news!"

Cheng Yiyi nodded, then turned to look at the thin man beside her who had remained silent.

"Pei Hai, take some people to pay extra attention to the outside movements. If you see the Giant Eagle, make sure to inform me."

Cheng Yiyi didn't know where the Giant Eagle was at the moment. She felt the Giant Eagle wouldn't leave so easily, which meant she had to watch out for Wang Tao. If the Giant Eagle appeared, she had to inform Wang Tao in advance; otherwise, facing such a sovereign of the skies, Wang Tao too would be in mortal danger.

"Yes!"

Cheng Yiyi then instructed a few other things to the rest, then she finally looked at the map.

Based on the location reported by Wang Tao, it should take about two to three hours to get here. If he hadn't arrived after three hours, it either meant Wang Tao had encountered danger, or he felt the situation was unmanageable and had left.

Cheng Yiyi wanted to contact Wang Tao again to confirm if he would be able to come. An hour had passed since she last spoke to him, and Wang Tao hadn't taken the initiative to contact her.

There were some last-resort measures she needed to prepare in advance; if Wang Tao didn't come, it would all be a waste...

But after some thought, Cheng Yiyi still didn't ask further. Since she had just said she believed in Wang Tao, it meant she truly did. All she needed was to wait for Wang Tao to contact her.

"Let's wait another hour or two..."

Elsewhere.

Wang Tao had already seen the undead swarm.

"Damn, such a large swarm of zombies!"

This time the swarm was much larger than the one Wang Tao saw last time, reminding him of the situation he had previously faced in Zijing City.

But these zombies were much stronger than those in Zijing City, mostly Level 3 and Level 4 Ordinary and Elite Zombies. He had yet to see a Lord, but with such a scale, there surely must be a Level 5 Lord, just how many was unknown.

Wang Tao didn't intend to confront the zombies head-on. He told He Jijun to slow down and started circling the perimeter of the swarm, heading towards the subway entrance Cheng Yiyi had mentioned.

After another twenty minutes, Wang Tao finally saw the iconic building next to that subway entrance. As expected, there were fewer zombies here.

Of course, 'fewer' was relative to the entire swarm; there were actually still a lot of zombies.

"Are you all ready?"

Wang Tao's voice resonated directly in everyone's minds.

Since the car wasn't big enough, some people were in the rear carriage; to notify them, Wang Tao could only use the intercom or Spiritual Communication. For him, Spiritual Communication was obviously more convenient.

"Ready!"

The voices of the group erupted through the intercom.

Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao in surprise. How did he manage that? It was amazing!

Wang Tao nodded, then turned on the car's intercom.

"Commander Cheng, are you there?"

"Sssht... I'm here!"

"In one minute, we will start attracting zombies. Get ready."

"Ah? In one minute?"

Cheng Yiyi was startled. Wang Tao was already here? That fast?

Although she had many questions, now was certainly not the time to speak. She quickly added:

"No problem!"

Wang Tao nodded, then addressed everyone inside the car:

"Disembark!"

The Awakeners all got off, leaving the others and Qu Shilin in the car.

Under Qu Shilin's watchful eyes, a Fireball appeared in Wang Tao's hand.

"Ah? Buddy, how many more things do you have up your sleeve that you're hiding from me!"

This was the first time Qu Shilin had seen someone conjure fire out of thin air!

Wang Tao quickly rushed towards those zombies. The Fireball in his hand grew larger, and as the zombies turned back sensing something, the Fireball smashed directly onto their heads.

Boom—
