Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 962 - 385: Encounter with the Giant Eagle Again
Pfft—
With a single slice, Wang Tao cleaved a hideous head apart, bursting it like a watermelon.
"We can't hold them back, go, go!"
Wang Tao called out and turned to run.
Whirring~
Blue flames shot from the back of the powered armor, propelling him forward a great distance in an instant.
The others immediately followed Wang Tao in retreat.
The zombie horde was now endless, and if they didn't leave, they would be surrounded. Even Wang Tao wasn't sure if he could break out if they were encircled.
"Damn, this is terrifying!"
Xiang Hongbin complained.
He had seen many zombie hordes back in Wuyang Province, but since he was in a disabled state back then, he hardly ever took part in combat. So even though he knew zombie hordes were frightening, he could only speculate how terrifying they were by watching others. He couldn't describe it clearly himself.
Now, he finally understood the terror of a zombie horde—even if the zombies stood still and let him kill them, he wouldn't be able to finish them off before his physical strength was depleted!
Although he could use crystal cores to supply the energy his body needed, this did not mean he would never tire. His physical strength, spirit, and cybernetic body all had limits. These limits might be higher than most people's, but certainly not higher than a zombie horde's!
Not to mention that these zombies weren't just standing around waiting to be killed; they attacked tirelessly, wanting to eat his flesh and drink his blood. Even with his high defenses, he couldn't relax and had to be constantly on edge...
That's what a zombie horde is!
Zombie hordes cannot be overcome by human strength, at least not for now.
No wonder it's said there are only two ways to deal with a zombie horde: either hold out to the death, or run faster than them!
"Indeed, terrifying..."
Wang Tao nodded.
He felt that if he stayed for 10 more seconds, he would have had to abandon the powered armor and exert all his strength. But even going all-out, he wouldn't last very long.
Of course, his goal was to attract the zombies, not to annihilate them. There were no Zombie Lords here, so he couldn't possibly engage in a tough fight with the zombies; getting away was good enough.
The crystal energy car had already been started, and the doors were open.
The group rushed over and jumped into the car. Wang Tao had a bit more trouble as he had to first put the powered armor into the vehicle and then leave the powered armor to jump into the crystal energy car.
When Wang Tao finally entered the crystal energy car, Han Rui, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately pressed the car's berserk button.
Whirring—
Blue flames shot out of the crystal energy car as it catapulted forward, sprinting hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye. Almost skimming the ground, the zombies that were about to surround them were hit and splattered into pieces.
"Crap, I haven't even buckled up yet!"
Wang Tao gripped the seat tightly, his arm veins bulging.
Han Rui apparently hadn't heard Wang Tao. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, trying to keep the car going straight.
They had planned the retreat route when they arrived, which was to escape using the berserk mode along this road.
The road here was very smooth with few obstacles, making it suitable for the crystal energy car to activate berserk mode.
However, a lack of obstacles didn't mean there were none at all. Han Rui had to control the steering wheel to avoid veering off course.
Otherwise, with the speed of the crystal energy car in berserk mode, if there was an accident, everyone except Wang Tao might be wiped out...
No one knew how long they had been sprinting until they could no longer see the zombies behind them. Only then did Han Rui turn off the berserk mode.
"Phew—"
Everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief.
The high speed of the car was also a burden for them, especially since the road was very bumpy. People with poor physical constitutions might have passed out...
Wang Tao quickly looked at Qu Shilin.
Thankfully, although her face was pale and she was breaking out in a cold sweat, she hadn't fainted.
"Are you okay?"
Wang Tao asked, patting Qu Shilin's shoulder.
"I... uh—"
Qu Shilin suddenly covered her mouth.
Wang Tao reacted quickly and immediately opened the car door, then helped Qu Shilin out of the car.
Vomit—

Qu Shilin threw up violently outside the car as if she was about to vomit her entire stomach out.
Wang Tao gently patted her back and then passed her a bottle of water.
"Thank you..."
After throwing up, Qu Shilin felt much better, thanked Wang Tao, and took the water.
"That's not good, getting motion sickness in a car!"
Wang Tao teased.
"Glug glug—vomit—"
After Qu Shilin rinsed her mouth and closed the door, she looked at Wang Tao with a face full of resentment.
"Could you give me a heads up next time you accelerate, so I can prepare myself..."
Wang Tao wanted to say that he himself wasn't even seated securely when the car accelerated, so how could he spare a thought for her? After all, this wasn't a pleasure trip, it was about survival.
But as he was about to speak, Wang Tao suddenly changed his tone.
"Cough, let me remind you, you built this car, so you should know it better than any of us," he said.
"..."
Qu Shilin opened her mouth, then spoke with a constipated expression.
"There's a problem with this car, especially the berserk mode; the acceleration is too rough. Most people can't handle it... It's my fault, I need to improve it when I get back!"
Although she was physically weak, she was still a Level 3 ability user. Even she couldn't stand the berserk mode, not to mention others. This was clearly a problem with her design, which had plenty of room for improvement.
Seeing that Qu Shilin was embarrassed but still readily admitted the design flaw, Wang Tao immediately praised her with a smile, saying:
"Actually, it's not bad. Even though this car has some shortcomings, it's really fast, a good tool for saving lives. Safety trumps every design element!"
These words made Qu Shilin's face look much better. She smiled wryly, shook her head, and then asked:
