Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

Chapter 405: Chapter 186: Killing a Level 3 Lord_1

“`

Pfft!

Yang Changhong wielded her knife and killed the Level 2 Zombie Fish beneath her feet, then wiped the sweat from her forehead and took a deep breath.

She had never imagined that one day, she would become a butcher slaughtering fish, nor had she expected that killing fish could leave her so exhausted…

At this moment, the scene around her was bustling with activity, everyone was fishing, killing fish!

The strong fished solo and killed on their own. Those less powerful teamed up to fish and took turns at killing.

Even though the strength of these Zombie Fish dropped significantly after coming ashore, it didn’t mean they were powerless. If an ordinary person caught a Zombie Fish, they might not even be able to pull it out of the water, and could even be dragged in by the Zombie Fish!

These Level 1 ability users were able to pull the fish onto land, but that didn’t guarantee a quick kill. After all, the Zombie Fish were about the size of humans, and when they struggled, it was chaotic. If one were to get bitten, the best outcome would be wasting a bottle of inhibitor.

So everyone measured their own strength, careful not to put themselves in too much danger in the quest to increase their power.

It was Yang Changhong who had called these people together.

But she had asked Wang Tao in advance, since this was his discovery. Although Wang Tao shared it with her, it didn’t mean he wanted to share it with everyone else.

Wang Tao wasn’t that petty; the lake was vast and filled with many Zombie Fish. So many people fishing together might not even be able to catch all of them.

Wang Tao observed that all the fish in this lake were Zombie Fish, with not a single normal one in sight, likely because, much like human society, they were infected by the zombie virus.

Moreover, most of them were Level 1 and Level 2 Zombie Fish. For these ability users, it was a holy land for enhancing their strength!

The crowd worked with well-distributed roles, Level 1 ability users killed Level 1 Zombie Fish, and Second-order Superpower Owners slayed the Level 2 ones.

If a Level 1 ability user caught a Level 2 Zombie Fish, they’d call over Little Jun or Yang Changhong to deal with it. If Yang Changhong and Little Jun caught a Level 1 Zombie Fish, they’d pass it on to others to kill.

Differentiating between Level 1 and Level Two was straightforward: anything others could pull out of the water was below Level 1, and anything too heavy to move was Level 2.

This method was proposed by Wang Tao, considering that Level 2 ability users would only gain half the HP from killing Level 1 Zombies. And for a Level 1 ability user, even with the significantly reduced strength on shore, killing a Level 2 Zombie Fish would be troublesome and potentially life-threatening. So, they should only tackle fish within their power range.

Wang Tao made another fishing rod for himself, wanting to see if he could catch Level 2, Lord, or even Level 3 Zombie Fish!

If Wang Tao killed Lagrangian points’s Superpower Owners, he would gain Special Energy for such an overpowered victory.

However, from morning until the evening, he had not caught a fish above Level 2, Lord; the highest level was the Level 2, Elites.

Wang Tao felt somewhat helpless, the number of elite zombie fish in this lake was unexpectedly high, a situation he had encountered at both the Water Ze Hospital and the Weeds Reservoir.

Therefore, Wang Tao speculated there might be an even more formidable Zombie Fish here, but unfortunately, he didn’t know if his conjecture was inaccurate or if there truly were none…

Of course, it wasn’t without any gains, Xu Xiaojun’s HP was rapidly increasing. Wang Tao gave all the fish he caught to him.

Jiang Shixue had no interest in fishing, but she enjoyed watching others fish, so she sat obediently next to Wang Tao, watching him fish.

“We had agreed to travel during the day today… but ended up fishing all day…”

Yang Changhong spoke to Wang Tao with a mix of happiness and helplessness.

She was naturally happy because her HP had greatly increased. The sensation of watching one’s strength gradually increase was enchanting. Her helplessness stemmed from the fact that the plan to go to Zijing City had been postponed again.

Wang Tao glanced at Yang Changhong. Her HP was now at 10200, up from just 7000 before, marking a significant improvement in strength.

“No problem, enhancing strength is the most important thing. You can fish for a couple more days.”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

Seeing that Wang Tao wasn’t in a hurry, Yang Changhong immediately felt relieved.

Having discovered this good spot, she intended to stay a couple more days, since such opportunities were rare. However, Wang Tao had previously mentioned wanting to go to a military base, and she was afraid he might become impatient, so she wanted to gauge his attitude.

If it had been before, she would have thought it no big deal to part ways. But now, having seen Wang Tao’s strength, only a fool would choose to go separate paths.

The next morning, the fishing operation continued.

And this one lasted for three days.

Perhaps the Zombie Fish in the lake had almost been caught out; catching Level 1, Elites and Level 2, Elites became less and less likely.

Wang Tao felt that they could probably leave tomorrow if the gains weren’t substantial, it wouldn’t be worth continuing to waste time here.

But on this evening, just as Yang Changhong hadn’t caught a fish for half an hour, she suddenly felt something bite her line. When she yanked hard, not only did she fail to pull it up, but she nearly fell on her face.

Watching her steel fishing rod nearly pulled from her grasp, Yang Changhong immediately shouted loudly:

“Wang Tao! There’s a big one!”

Wang Tao heard the commotion and rushed over immediately.

Seeing Yang Changhong clutching the fishing rod, being slowly dragged toward the water, Wang Tao’s eyes brightened.

If it was able to drag Yang Changhong, a Second-order Superpower Owner, towards the water, then this had to be at least a Level 2, Lord Zombie Fish, or above!

He grabbed the steel rod and gave a fierce tug—but it didn’t come up!
