Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 390 - 181: Mechanical Right Arm_1
Chapter 390: Chapter 181: Mechanical Right Arm_1
This was a dilapidated little village.
A few emaciated zombies sat at the entrance of the village, basked in the afterglow of the setting sun, motionless, as if dead.
Suddenly, the buzzing sound of an engine approached, and a number of vehicles appeared slowly.
The zombies lifted their heads, issuing hoarse roars, standing up, and advanced toward the source of the noise.
A tall figure suddenly jumped out of a vehicle, swinging a Giant Axe and unleashing a Shockwave.
Pfft!
All the zombies were shattered to pieces.
The vehicles scattered instantly.
“Everyone check around! See if there are any remaining zombies!”
The voice of Zhang Hong came through the walkie-talkie.
“Yes!”
The people responded, disembarking from their vehicles, examining each house with weapons in hand.
Wang Tao and two others also got out of the car to swiftly inspect the surroundings.
“No problems here!”
“No issues on my end either!”
“All clear…”
The inspection concluded quickly, and everyone reconvened in the square at the center of the village.
Zhang Hong directed everyone to start setting up camp and establishing Defense measures.
By the time everything was ready, night had fallen.
Gathered together, everyone hastily ate something before eagerly fixing their gaze on the five airdrop crates in the middle.
Before opening the airdrop, Zhang Hong asked Wang Tao in a hushed voice:
“How did you know there was an airdrop today?”
“I’m a fortune-teller.”
Wang Tao responded with a smile.
He had no intention of revealing his contact with Colonel Luo, after all, it’s good to keep some secrets, right?
Seeing that Wang Tao was unwilling to elaborate, Zhang Hong gave him a flirtatious glare, not pressing further.
Then, with a cough and a face full of anticipation and excitement, she waved towards everyone.
“Open the airdrop crates.”
Like the previous airdrop crates, a password was required to open them, but the password was a simple arithmetic problem that anyone literate could solve.
Wang Tao wasn’t overly excited since he was still recalling the events of the afternoon when he’d made contact with the pilot of the airdrop plane. He felt he should pay more attention to airplanes in the future, striving to make contact more often… frёewebηovel.cѳm

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the first airdrop crate was opened.
Upon seeing the five large boxes of Inhibitors inside, everyone was so thrilled they nearly jumped for joy.
One box of Inhibitors held 20 bottles, so five boxes amounted to 100 bottles!
100 bottles of Inhibitors! That could save so many lives!
With these, everyone need not live in the fear they had before!
Zhang Hong took out all the Inhibitors and distributed them among the people. There were 13 of them, plus the three including Wang Tao, which made 16 in total.
Each person, including Wang Tao’s group, got five bottles, and the remaining 20 bottles were kept by Zhang Hong, meaning she had 25 bottles for herself.
Wang Tao was slightly surprised; he hadn’t expected to receive a share. After all, the previous arrangement had been that whoever got to the airdrop first would keep it.
As for Zhang Hong having the most, that was only normal. The leader should definitely get more.
In the post-apocalyptic world, to share resources equally and ensure everyone was treated the same was not to say without any meaning, just that it was hard to achieve. It was better to concentrate resources at the top, creating a strong leader in possession of them.
This airdrop also included a Monster Manual, which Zhang Hong took a look at. Finding it to be the same as the one Wang Tao had shown her, she didn’t look further and passed the manual to the others.
Then she opened the second airdrop.
The second airdrop contained a device.
“What’s this? A Crystal Core Synthesizer?”
Everyone was curious, having only ever seen a Crystal Core Synthesizer before, though the device also looked somewhat different.
“This is an Energy Detector. After inserting blood, it can check whether a human is infected with the virus, how many impurities are in the body, what the Energy Level is…”
Wang Tao explained.
Shuize Base had already acquired an Energy Detector, but its design was a bit different from this one, which must be an improved version.
“An Energy Detector!”
Zhang Hong’s eyes lit up.
She quickly searched through the contents and found a manual.
Indeed, as Wang Tao had said, it was an Energy Detector.
Only, this one didn’t require blood. Any body tissue would do, such as hair, nails, skin flakes, and so on, which was much safer and more convenient than drawing blood. However, according to the instructions, the human tissue must have been shed within a few hours—or the results would not be accurate.
This made things much easier compared to the past, but the issue of energy had not been solved; it still required a large amount of electricity.
Of course, compared to the Crystal Core Synthesizer, this Energy Detector consumed a lot less power.
Zhang Hong decided to try it out. She couldn’t afford the power consumption of the Crystal Core Synthesizer, but the Energy Detector’s power consumption was manageable.
So, Zhang Hong immediately fetched some cables and started the Energy Detector.
Humming~
The detector vibrated slightly, the green indicator light came on, signaling it was ready for use.
Zhang Hong plucked out one of her hairs and placed it in the machine’s detection slot.
A moment later, the small LED screen on the device displayed the information.
[Energy: Level 2]
[Impurities: Level 2]
“…Is that it?”
Zhang Hong was somewhat disappointed; she had expected it to reveal much more data, but it only indicated a Level Two Energy and Level Two Impurities.
About these impurity levels, she had already read the manual, and Level Two was still within the safe range. Level Three was slightly dangerous, Level Four was somewhat risky, and Level Five was extremely dangerous!
“Wang Tao, won’t you give it a try? Don’t worry, I won’t charge you for the electricity!”
