Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 905 - 356: Hatching the Night Demon_2
After struggling to escape from the Night Demon Cave, they ran towards the nearest temporary camp…
Wen Guocheng regretted it deeply, for he had believed the tall tale that the Night Demon’s Nest was devoid of Night Demons at night. The truth is, there might not be any Level 4 Night Demons at night in the nest, but Level 3 Night Demons were definitely present.
Moreover, it was a huge Night Demon’s Nest, teeming with Night Demons. If it hadn’t been for Wang Tao opening the gate to the temporary camp and letting them in, they would have undoubtedly perished.
By the end, although Wen Guocheng and the others still regarded Wang Tao with some vigilance, they were indeed very grateful. After all, no matter what, Wang Tao had truly saved their lives…
But when they saw Wang Tao fall into thought, they became slightly uneasy again. They didn’t know if Wang Tao was pondering over the Night Demon’s Nest or considering how to deal with them.
Although they couldn’t discern Wang Tao’s level, based on their experiences over time, they were certain that Wang Tao was above Level 3! If he were a powerful Level 3 ability user, he might have a chance to take them on all by himself, and they couldn’t guarantee that Wang Tao was alone—there might be others inside…
After Wang Tao roughly understood the situation of the Night Demon’s Nest, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said:
"Everybody come in and talk!"
Because he had been drawn by the news of the Night Demon Cave, when he had asked questions earlier, he ended up blocking these people at the entrance of the first door of the temporary camp.
Since this temporary camp was underground, its special structure greatly enhanced its defensive power, which included the gate area. To fully enter the camp, two doors were needed. The second door’s defensive power wasn’t as strong as the first one’s, serving as an emergency measure.
"Thank you!"
The group quickly expressed their gratitude.
Regardless of Wang Tao’s other intentions, they had no other choice. To leave was certain death, so they could only follow Wang Tao inside.
At that moment, Wen Guocheng suddenly asked:
"Mr. Wang, what are those purple lights outside the camp gate…"
"Ultraviolet light lamps."
Wang Tao answered casually.
Although Wen Guocheng and the others had already guessed, hearing Wang Tao confirm it still left them somewhat astonished.
They had heard that the Hope Research Institute had developed such things as ultraviolet light lamps, but because the power and energy sources did not meet standards, these devices hadn’t yet appeared on the market, and they didn’t know if the research had been successful… Could this be a new product from the Hope Research Institute?
Curiosity filled Wen Guocheng’s heart, but he didn’t dare to ask any more questions.
After passing through the second door, they saw three more people and a dog—no! There was also a snake!
Seeing this snake, Wen Guocheng and his group jumped in fright.
Although Blacky was the weakest among Wang Tao’s group, because it didn’t know how to hide its presence, it looked the most terrifying.
The group was scared stiff and dared not move.
However, Blacky just flicked its tongue at them and then turned its head and left.
"Phew—"
The group all breathed a sigh of relief.
That feeling of being watched by a Fourth-Level Organism was not pleasant; it was just as terrifying as being chased by so many Level 3 Night Demons just before!
But they noticed that the Fourth-order Black Snake didn’t attack them; it simply walked away.
This snake wasn’t a monster from the wilderness but a snake of the Starfire Society!
The group was even more shocked. The Starfire Society actually had such a member?
Since they often traveled outside, they didn’t know much about the Starfire Society and were unaware that it had a Fourth-Level Giant Serpent.
Although Wen Guocheng was extremely shocked, he was quick to say diplomatically:
"Greetings to the great seniors!"
"Greetings to the great seniors!"
The others hurriedly followed suit.
They didn’t know the specific strengths and identities of these people, so calling them seniors seemed appropriate.
"Hello!"
Lan Yulian replied with a smile.
Wen Guocheng’s group immediately felt as if they were basked in a warm spring breeze. However, He Jijun and Jiang Shixue simply nodded coolly, dispelling the warmth in their hearts.
"Take a seat anywhere you like; there’s food over there. If you want to eat, feel free to help yourselves."
Wang Tao called out and then went to discuss the Night Demon Cave with Lan Yulian and the others.
Wen Guocheng and his group, hearing there was food, swallowed their saliva. They had thrown away everything they could to escape for their lives, and now, after expending a great deal of physical strength, they were starving.
But looking in the direction Wang Tao had indicated, they saw the Fourth-order Black Snake coiled around a pile of food, which made their faces turn pale.
"How dare we even think of getting food now?"
"We’d better just keep enduring. If we get bitten by the Giant Serpent, we might not die, but we’d lose half our skin..."
Wen Guocheng glanced at Wang Tao and several others who were quietly talking not far away, and he suddenly said to his teammates:
"Mr. Wang seems very approachable, and that lady’s presence is as comforting as an angel’s, but... appearances can be deceiving! If they harbor any ill intentions towards us, we must resist with all our might!"
"They have a Fourth-order Black Snake, and they might be Level 4 too, how can we resist?"
Fu Yu asked somewhat disheartenedly.
Hearing this, Wen Guocheng deflated a bit.
"...Forget it, let’s leave it to fate!"
"..."
Everyone sighed in their hearts. Being weak really made them easy to manipulate...
On the other side.
After explaining the situation to several people, they all agreed to make a trip to the Night Demon’s Nest.
It wasn’t just because there were many Night Demons in the nest, but more importantly, Wang Tao had previously mentioned that Night Demon Parasite egg’s probability of becoming a Night Demon was higher when there was Incubation Flesh!
According to Wen Guocheng, that Night Demon’s Nest had a lot of Incubation Flesh!
If Wang Tao took the whole car of Zombie Heads to the Night Demon’s Nest to incubate Night Demons, then the success rate should increase. So this was a win-win situation.
"Alright, since everyone agrees, let’s not delay any further and head over now."
It was two o’clock in the morning, with daylight around six. Before dawn, there should be fewer Night Demons in the nest. If it was just pursuing Night Demons of the scale that attacked Wen Guocheng, Wang Tao could easily handle them.
By the time it was nearly dawn, the Night Demons that had gone out would return.
Wang Tao felt that he should be able to defeat them, especially since he had so many ultraviolet light devices.
As for the herbs that Wen Guocheng spoke of to increase strength, Wang Tao thought it might either be Withered Life Grass that could increase the HP cap by 1000 or something similar, or they had been deceived. Wang Tao leaned towards the latter but wasn’t all that interested in their affairs...
After making the decision, Wang Tao approached Wen Guocheng and his group and said:
"We have to go out for a bit, you guys just stay here and guard this place, and if I come back, open the door for me. If I don’t come back, don’t wait for us, just do what you need to do."

Wang Tao had already learned the location and one of the entrances to the Night Demon’s Nest from Wen Guocheng, and he could head straight there.
"Ah?"
They were all surprised. What was Wang Tao doing going out in the middle of the night?
"But the Night Demons outside..."
Wen Guocheng cautiously spoke up.
"They’ve already left."
The Night Demons outside had already left?
Upon hearing this news, Wen Guocheng and his group were overjoyed. If there were no Night Demons outside, it meant they had an additional escape route—no, wait, all of Wang Tao’s group had left, so they had no intention of doing anything to them! They really were being paranoid...
"Then...be careful!"
Wen Guocheng and his companions didn’t think that Wang Tao was going to the Night Demon’s Nest, after all, there were too many Night Demons inside. Even with Level 4 strength, one couldn’t last against such an onslaught of Night Demons...
Wang Tao left through another door where he could drive his car, which was parked on that side.
Once Wang Tao and his group left, Wen Guocheng suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Darn! I should have asked Mr. Wang to leave us some food..."
On the other side, it didn’t take long for Wang Tao to arrive at the Night Demon’s Nest as described by Wen Guocheng.
It was an entrance to an air-raid shelter that the car could drive straight into.
There wasn’t a single Night Demon nearby, leaving him to wonder if it was because they had been lured away by Wen Guocheng’s group.
Shortly after driving the car inside, Wang Tao saw a big patch of Incubation Flesh and Unformed Night Demons.
After confirming there were no Night Demons around for now, Wang Tao didn’t venture further. Instead, he immediately took out three Zombie Heads infested by Night Demon Parasites and threw them directly into the Incubation Flesh.
The Incubation Flesh started to squirm, swallowing the Zombie Heads whole.
A moment later, the Incubation Flesh suddenly expanded, and three black silhouettes emerged.
"Damn! Such a high success rate is one thing, but the incubation speed is also so fast?"
