Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 917 - 362: Wandering Horde of Zombies_2

But he hadn’t expected Wang Tao and his group to actually come back...

"Somewhat unexpected?"

Wang Tao said with a smile.

"Cough, I thought... I thought the boss had gone back to the city!"

Wen Guocheng hastily said.

The word "death," no matter when, is always inauspicious, and he naturally didn’t want to displease Wang Tao, so he quickly changed his wording.

Now that Wang Tao had returned, the previous speculations were just speculations after all.

"Boss, please!"

Wen Guocheng hurriedly made way, allowing Wang Tao and the car to enter.

He had never seen Wang Tao’s car before, and now seeing this somewhat strangely shaped but very stylish car, he was surprised and suddenly understood something.

In the apocalypse, if you see something ugly, it might be very useful. If you see something handsome, as long as it wasn’t produced before the apocalypse, then it definitely is very useful!

Because in the apocalypse, practicality is prioritized, whatever it may be, there are generally none of those fancy things, no excess in appearance or design.

If someone bothered to embellish its appearance a bit, then the functionality and value of that thing can be imagined.

Moreover, a famous person had once said, in terms of weapon equipment, aesthetics equals combat power. If the weapons and equipment look good and meet the public’s aesthetics, they are strong!

So viewing this crystal energy car, Wen Guocheng’s first impression was that it was both good-looking and practical, and his second impression was that it was awesome!

He didn’t hear any sound from the car’s engine; it was very quiet... This seemed to be the legendary crystal energy powered car!

Previously, the research institute had announced some things about crystal energy engines and cars, and he had some understanding of them. Although his knowledge was not extensive, he knew that it was a stable and fast vehicle!

And if Wang Tao and his team had such a car, maybe they really could outrun a horde of zombies. So it made sense that they were still alive... Wen Guocheng quickly found a reasonable explanation.

It wasn’t that he doubted Wang Tao’s strength, but that zombie horde was too terrifying, seemingly having a Level 5 Lord! They had not dared to go out at all these past several days...

There was a small parking area inside this temporary camp where a few cars could be parked. Previously it was just my car, but upon coming back, Wang Tao found several more cars parked here.

Wen Guocheng and the others had fled here previously without a car.

"Hm? Quite a few people have come here?"

Wang Tao asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes. Several groups have come in the past few days, all to escape the tide of zombies; we haven’t gone out for several days now..."

Wen Guocheng explained.

"A tide of zombies? What tide of zombies?"

Wang Tao asked, frowning.

"Ah? Boss, you didn’t know?"

Wen Guocheng appeared shocked, but he dared not inquire further and hurriedly explained.

"Just a few days ago, a terrifying tide of zombies appeared..."

After Wen Guocheng’s explanation, Wang Tao finally understood what had happened.

Wang Tao and his people had been at the Night Demon’s Nest for several days. They had only come out twice... The first time was the same day they killed the Fifth-Order Lord Night Fiend and came out to rest; the second time was to go outside to find zombies, to use as vessels for the Night Demon Parasite Bug Eggs.

Other than that, Wang Tao and his people had stayed underground in the nest all along, unaware of the outside situation.

While they were underground, a terrifying horde of zombies had arrived outside. This horde’s numbers were extremely frightening, estimated to be in the tens of thousands!

Not just in numbers, but the zombies’ strength was also formidable! Most of them were elite zombies of the third or fourth order, even fifth order, and it was said that their leader was a Level 5 Monster Lord!

This was a Level 5 Lord!

The strongest individuals at the base were just at the fourth order, they definitely stood no chance against a Level 5 Lord, especially such a leader who also brought a large number of minions; it was simply impossible to fight them.

So, those who discovered this horde ahead of time either immediately fled, and those who couldn’t escape could only wait for death.

This area still had some survivors, who lived relatively close to this temporary camp in the underground factory, so they all ran here to take refuge.

Speaking of these events, Wen Guocheng was somewhat terrified, then mentioned how lucky he really was.

Although their squad had almost been annihilated by the Night Demon before, they encountered Wang Tao, whose ultraviolet light shielded them from the Night Demon and he opened the gates of the camp, allowing them to take refuge.

Afterward, Wang Tao went out, and they rested for a day and a night, preparing to go out again. After all, they hadn’t left the base just to sightsee. However, to thank Wang Tao again, they waited another day for Wang Tao and his group to return.

But Wang Tao did not come; instead, other people arrived, bringing important news about a terrifying horde of zombies appearing, and now they couldn’t go anywhere but had to hide.

In situations with no conflicting interests, survivors generally wouldn’t deliberately deceive one another. Therefore, Wen Guocheng took that information very seriously and canceled the previous plans to go out, deciding to wait and see how things would unfold. Subsequently, other people also arrived, confirming that the previous news was true.

Thus, Wen Guocheng decided not to go out at all, waiting for the danger outside to disappear before doing anything else.

Then, he actually saw the tide of zombies through surveillance. Although he didn’t see where the Level 5 Lord zombie was, the scale of that zombie horde was absolutely enough to annihilate him countless times over.
