Chapter 345: Chapter 166: A Baked Pancake_1

Night fell.

Xu Xiaojun looked at Wang Tao.

“Brother Wang, let me go with you, my wounds have healed already!”

“No, you’re too weak.”

Wang Tao shook his head.

“…”

Xu Xiaojun felt a bit embarrassed.

Actually, it wasn’t that Xu Xiaojun was too weak; the main issue was that he couldn’t see in the dark, so he couldn’t keep up with Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue. Otherwise, he could at least carry a backpack.

Wang Tao asked Xu Xiaojun to rest here while he and Jiang Shixue climbed to the rooftop.

From evening to nightfall, there was still no change around the grain warehouse today.

Wang Tao felt that those blood-colored zombies would only appear when the darkness of night truly settled in.

The cool breeze of the night was refreshing, and Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue quietly waited on the rooftop.

At one moment, the clouds obscured the few stars, making the night even darker.

Jiang Shixue tugged at Wang Tao’s clothes.

“They’ve appeared!”

Following the sound, Wang Tao saw a red figure slowly emerging from the night. That familiar figure was the Level 3 Zombie they had seen before!

The Blood-red Zombie didn’t notice Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue on the rooftop; it circled the grain warehouse, as if searching for something.

Soon, the Blood-red Zombie found the hole.

Feeling excited at the sight of the hole, it still didn’t go in but walked elsewhere instead.

It really was “walking,” just like an ordinary zombie wandering outside. If not careful, one might really mistake it for an ordinary zombie.

“Why does it feel like it’s baiting…”

Wang Tao couldn’t help but comment.

If someone carelessly startled it, it would definitely burst out with astonishing speed and pounce on the target!

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue waited a while longer and saw that the Blood-red Zombie was still wandering nearby. Aside from it, other Blood-red Zombies did not appear.

“Let’s go check other places first.”

Wang Tao said to Jiang Shixue by his side.

“Okay~”

Wang Tao didn’t come out tonight just to see if the Level 3 Zombie was there, but also to look for those green pustule zombies.

After all, pustule zombies have very low defensive power at night, and they don’t have much attacking ability either. If they could encounter one, it would be a sure experience pack for Wang Tao.

Although attacking a pustule zombie could attract a Level 3 Blood-colored Zombie, as long as they weren’t swarmed, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue could definitely run away.

During the day, Wang Tao had already tested his Combat Boots, and he could only say they were very strong!

Originally, his speed was not as fast as Jiang Shixue’s, but now that he wore these boots, Wang Tao’s pace was on par with hers.

He didn’t even have ten thousand HP, while Jiang Shixue had nearly twenty thousand. This showed just how powerful the boots were.

With this life-saving gear, although Wang Tao still couldn’t contend with a Level 3 Zombie, escaping should not be a problem.

The two of them carefully scouted around but didn’t see any green pustule zombies. However, they did see a Level 2 Zombie.

“Level 2 – Berserker!”

Seeing the hulking figure with a Giant Axe, Wang Tao was immediately excited.

He had seen many Level 1 Berserkers, but he had never come across a Level 2 Berserker before.

Strictly speaking, other than the Gorilla zombie, it seemed like Wang Tao had not seen any other zombies that had ascended from Level 1 to Level 2.

Zombies like Berserkers, Attackers, and Self-exploders—Wang Tao had not encountered any at Level 2.

The Level 2 Zombies that Wang Tao had seen seemed like they were inherently Level 2, such as the Toad zombie, Pustule zombie, etc.

Wang Tao even worried that those zombies couldn’t ascend to Level 2, then how would he obtain their Crystal Cores?

After all, his Shockwave and Precision Shooting abilities originally came from Level 1 zombies.

Fortunately, now that he saw a Level 2 Berserker, Wang Tao could relax. It might simply be that there were presently few Level 2 Zombies, and he hadn’t encountered them.

Wang Tao prepared to hunt down this Level 2 Berserker, but for safety, he and Jiang Shixue took care of the other normal zombies nearby first.

After all, with a Level 3 Zombie outside, if the other zombies made a racket and attracted the Level 3, it would be quite troublesome.

Wang Tao looked at the Level 2 – Berserker.

[HP: 10000/10000]

[Mana: 2000/2000]

[Level: Level 2 Elite]

The Level 2 – Berserker’s stature was much larger than a Level 1’s, with an estimated height of two and a half to two and six meters, baring its upper body, muscles intertwined all over. However, in its hands was not a Reinforced Concrete Hammer or a streetlight but a somewhat simple, worn metal Two-Handed Giant Axe that exuded a heavy presence!

But its attributes were rather ordinary, only ten thousand HP and two thousand Mana.

Of course, “rather ordinary” was relative to Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue. To someone like Xu Xiaojun, who had about two thousand HP, this zombie was still terrifying.

Wang Tao rushed toward the Berserker.

His speed was swift, and he was only discovered when he drew near the Berserker’s back.

The Berserker roared and lifted the Giant Axe with both hands, ready to attack Wang Tao.

“Too late!”

Wang Tao chopped the zombie right in the head with his axe.

Bang!

[-2251]

[7749/10000]

The Berserker’s defense was still rather high; even with Wang Tao’s full-strength chop, only two thousand HP was taken off.

After chopping, Wang Tao retreated, and just as the Berserker’s Giant Axe was about to come crashing down, suddenly a clump of white slime appeared, instantly sticking the Berserker in place. The Giant Axe in its hand failed to hit the ground.

The Berserker’s attack was too noisy, and Wang Tao was afraid it would attract the Level 3 Zombie, so he used a Slime Grenade.
