Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1461 - 607 Biochemical Virus_2

Wang Tao stroked his chin and explained.

"So that’s how it is..."

The group wasn’t nervous, it was just a Sixth Rank Lord after all. If Wang Tao hadn’t been there, they might have had to put in some effort, but with Wang Tao around, of course they could easily handle it.

However, to everyone’s surprise, upon emerging, this zombie did not immediately attack them but instead, twisting its body, walked over to Wang Jing’s corpse.

"Huh... Huh..."

Seeing this, everyone was startled.

What was happening?

This was the first time they had encountered a zombie that completely ignored them like this.

"Could it be that there is some story between this female researcher and Wang Jing?"

"Were the two of them lovers? Or even husband and wife?"

"Could it be that this zombie still retains some of its pre-death consciousness? Lingering affection?"

With the strong sense of security Wang Tao provided, the group didn’t feel threatened by the zombie at all, so in an instant, they became onlookers, all speculating about the pre-death relationship between Wang Jing and this zombie.

Wang Tao also found it interesting, so he didn’t take action right away.

If the zombie really retained its pre-death consciousness, and even had lingering emotions, then this would be a major discovery! Very valuable for research.

So, everyone just watched as the zombie walked up to Wang Jing’s corpse and, with curious expressions on their faces, the zombie hugged Wang Jing’s body, then — they saw the female zombie open her mouth to a terrifying extent and viciously bite into Wang Jing’s body.

Crunch, crunch, crunch—

After a few bites, the female zombie had swallowed Wang Jing’s entire body.

"..."

Everyone was a bit dumbfounded.

Is this how zombies express love? That’s a bit too explosive, isn’t it?

And then, in that moment, Wang Tao’s eyes sharply focused.

He saw the female zombie’s body start to swell, and its HP and Mana began to increase.

"...It seems, it evolved."

In a blink of an eye, the female zombie’s body had grown much taller, probably around one meter eighty, but still very thin, making its arms and legs appear excessively long. At the same time, its attributes had undergone huge changes.

[HP: 1000000/1000000]

[Mana: 0/0]

[Level: Sixth-Rank Catastrophe]

[Cataclysmic Awakening: Biochemical Virus]

[Biochemical Virus: Carries a large amount of biochemical viruses]

"Damn, ascended to Sixth Rank Disaster! Is this how they ascend to Disaster Class?!"

Wang Tao was shocked as it was his first time witnessing firsthand how a Disaster-level zombie was born. Could eating a regular corpse lead to such an Ascension? Was the corpse special, or the zombie? What exactly was their relationship? This puzzled Wang Tao...

However, although the zombie had ascended to Sixth Rank Disaster, Wang Tao was not afraid at all, but actually quite excited. After all, the items dropped by Disaster-level creatures are much better than those of ordinary Lords! Wang Tao hoped to encounter Sixth Rank Disaster zombies.

At this moment, the group felt lethargic as they began to continuously lose HP. Not only were they losing HP, but they also started to experience various negative statuses such as "poisoning," "weakness," and "burning."

This [Biochemical Virus] Cataclysmic Awakening not only causes continuous HP loss, but also inflicts various negative statuses on people!

"This zombie has evolved to a Sixth Rank Disaster, let’s retreat! Let’s get some distance, or we can’t withstand the Cataclysmic Awakening."

The damage from Cataclysmic Awakening is level-related; a Level 5 Awakener can’t hold out for long against a Sixth-Rank Catastrophe, so you must keep a distance.

"Alright!"

Without any hesitation, the group immediately started to run away.

The laboratory was not a large space, and this cramped area was clearly unsuitable for combat with a Disaster-level creature.

Roar—

Seeing that Wang Tao and his party were fleeing, the Disaster Zombie roared angrily and immediately gave chase.

Boom—

Wang Tao directly breached the ceiling, breaking through to the ground above, as everyone quickly filed out through the hole one by one.

The Disaster Zombie also followed closely through the hole that Wang Tao had made.

Once on the surface, everyone immediately scattered, with only Wang Tao holding the line at the entrance. Lin Meng hurriedly applied healing to Wang Tao, not to restore his HP but to add a Blessing status to him.

As soon as the Disaster Zombie emerged, the well-prepared Wang Tao immediately struck down with his blade.

Bang!

[-22842]

[Curse: Bleeding]

It was as if his blade had struck steel, numbing his hand with the impact, but the damage was impressive, chopping more than twenty thousand HP from the Disaster Zombie.

Having been attacked by Wang Tao, the Disaster Zombie was evidently enraged, letting out a roar as its slender arms reached out to grab him.

Despite its frail appearance, this was a bona fide Sixth Rank Disaster, and Wang Tao naturally did not want to take the hit if he could avoid it.

Whoosh——

Wang Tao swiftly retreated, dodging the Disaster Zombie’s attack.

At the same time, two beams of green light fell on him, restoring the HP he had lost to the Cataclysmic Awakening and adding another Blessing status to him.

It’s different with a healing support, let alone two! As long as Wang Tao could withstand the Disaster Zombie’s attacks, both Lan Yulian and Lin Meng could madly restore Wang Tao’s HP, ensuring it was always full!

"Roar!"

The Disaster Zombie roared furiously as it finally climbed out of the hole, then lifted its long legs, appearing in front of Wang Tao in the blink of an eye.

"Such speed!"

Wang Tao was slightly surprised but not panicked. He immediately raised his great sword, blocking the Disaster Zombie’s assault.

However, the Disaster Zombie swung its arms at an extremely fast speed, like wheels of fire and wind. Wang Tao blocked the first strike but struggled to intercept the following blows.

At the critical moment, Wang Tao chose not to take the hits and activated his Splitting Cloak, instantly enveloping himself in it.

Thump Thump Thump——

The Disaster Zombie’s strikes all landed on the cloak, leaving Wang Tao unharmed. However, the cloak couldn’t withstand the attacks indefinitely, as it might get damaged, so Wang Tao immediately retracted it during the Disaster Zombie’s attack interval.

Swish——

As Wang Tao withdrew the Splitting Cloak, the murky eyes of the Disaster Zombie reflected the silhouette of a person engulfed in flames.

Wang Tao’s [Wildfire Spread] Awakening provided not only an increase in Attack but also a robust Defense. So, Wang Tao no longer deliberately dodged, picking up his flaming great sword and engaging in close-quarters combat with the Disaster Zombie.

Thump!

Bang!

Swish!

Undoubtedly, the Disaster Zombie, although appearing rather slender, was very strong. With its physical attributes, it was the strongest adversary Wang Tao had encountered besides the Giant Zombie. But... that was as far as it went.

The Disaster Zombie did not have any Ability or Mana, relying solely on its Cataclysmic Awakening and physical prowess for attack.

But its physical prowess was no real threat to Wang Tao. Wang Tao was not even afraid of the Giant Zombie’s physical prowess, so why would he fear it?

Regarding its Cataclysmic Awakening, it had to be said that it was quite troublesome, causing continuous HP loss and imposing various negative statuses. If it were someone else, they would have likely fallen by now. But Wang Tao was different, his own strength aside, he had Lan Yulian and Lin Meng behind him constantly restoring HP and adding Blessings.

Thus Wang Tao’s HP was almost always full. The negative statuses not only were negated by Lin Meng’s Blessings but even turned into an advantage.

Especially after Wang Tao applied various negative statuses on the Disaster Zombie, there was basically no suspense left.

The combat power of the Disaster Zombie weakened more and more, while Wang Tao’s grew stronger!

Roar——

When the HP of the Disaster Zombie was down to its last ten percent, it became extremely frenzied, with its attack speed and frequency substantially increased.

But it was still of no use; Wang Tao maintained his own rhythm of attack.

Finally, with a splurting sound.

[-12233]

[0/1000000]

Wang Tao cleaved the Disaster Zombie’s head apart with a swing of his sword, reducing the zombie’s HP bar to zero.
