Apocalypse: I Can See Health Bars

Chapter 111: Chapter 110: Reaping the Storm

The spear in his hands trembled as it accumulated impact energy. Lin Fan slammed it downward, channeling the energy through one of the small wings on the spearhead and into the ground!

"BOOM!"

For a moment, the ground shook in a radius of several meters. The zombies within that area had their legs and feet shattered; their bodies slumped, and they collapsed.

Lin Fan lifted his spear and frowned.

’This crystal feels more intuitive to use when equipped to an item rather than directly on myself...’

Previously, whether it was the Sharpness Crystal or the Impact Crystal, using them involved accumulating energy in his palm, then transferring it to the weapon in his hand to be unleashed.

But now, it felt like the energy could be directly accumulated in any part of the spear, completely at his will.

For example, when he leaped down from upstairs, the energy had gathered in the butt of the spear, and for the strike just now, it had gathered in the wing of the spearhead.

He also had a feeling that as he became more proficient, he would be able to control how the energy was released.

Take that last strike, for instance. Under Lin Fan’s conscious control, he had increased its area of effect while reducing its piercing power.

Otherwise, based on his previous experience, that strike should have smashed a fist-sized crater in the ground, with the vibration range only being about one meter...

It seemed the secrets of both the crystals and the energy were far from being fully understood.

But for the current Lin Fan, as long as it worked, that was enough!

It was just a shame his energy recovery rate wasn’t as insane as Chu Zhaozhao’s. It took him a whole minute to recover a single point!

Otherwise, he could have just used the Impact Crystal to continuously smash the ground and break all the zombies’ legs!

Seeing he had over one hundred and forty points of energy left, Lin Fan unequipped the crystal and took off running, kiting another thirty-odd zombies in a large circle around Su Qing and the others’ "fortress."

Meanwhile, at the center of the "storm," Su Qing and the others were like relentless killing machines, thrusting their spears into the heads of any zombie that entered their attack range!

"Xu Qian! Your right!"

Su Qing pulled her spear from a zombie’s eye socket and violently shoved another one—which had been stabbed in the shoulder by Chu Zhaozhao’s short spear—sideways, sending it stumbling into Xu Qian’s attack range behind her.

In the chaotic melee, Chu Zhaozhao was also wielding a spear, using her ability to help her drive it into the heads of one zombie after another.

She used that formless power to control the spear, nullifying its inertia when needed and allowing her to execute continuous, uninterrupted, and precise kills at a speed far beyond that of an ordinary person!

As for the short spear flying around their "fortress," it wasn’t aiming for kills. Its purpose was simply to repel enemies, pushing back any zombies the others had missed!

"Zhaotian, how are you doing!"

In the chaos, Su Qing couldn’t afford to look back, simply shouting to the others as she managed the situation.

"I’m... holding on..."

Chu Zhaotian was clearly panting as he spoke, and his spear movements had grown sluggish. Fortunately, he was positioned behind Chu Zhaozhao, so not too many zombies got past to him.

Seeing everyone else fighting so hard, he naturally didn’t want to show weakness. He struggled to raise his spear and thrust it into a zombie’s eye socket, but he failed to pierce its skull and only managed to knock it to the ground.

"Zhaozhao! Finish it!"

As soon as Chu Zhaotian’s voice fell, a short spear flew over and pierced the skull of the zombie on the ground.

Nearby, Xu Qian remained silent. With every zombie he killed, he could clearly feel his stamina and strength increasing.

This obvious positive feedback erased any remaining hesitation he had about killing zombies. He silently took on every single zombie Su Qing directed his way for the sake of efficiency!

...

[144/144], [191/191], [79/100], [136/136]...

From a distance, Lin Fan continued to kite the zombies in a circle around the group, casually breaking the legs of any that got too close while keeping an eye on everyone’s health bars.

He couldn’t quite remember their original Life Values, but by a rough estimate, they must have killed about seventy or eighty zombies so far.

And Chu Zhaozhao had killed about half of them.

Four people, five spears—Chu Zhaozhao alone counted as two. For ordinary zombies, it was an absolute slaughter...

’At this distance, I can also collect all the drops from the zombies that die around the "fortress." It’s efficient and perfect...’

He saw that the number of zombies he was "training" was dwindling. Aside from a few whose legs he had broken, now crawling slowly on the ground, there were only about twenty left.

So, he gradually tightened the diameter of his running path, guiding the remaining zombies toward the "moving fortress" at the center of the storm, letting the spears there reap their "lives"...

"You guys move forward. There are still a few on the ground over there. Someone go finish them off..."

In just a moment, the standing zombies were all wiped out. Lin Fan pointed at a few zombies crawling on the ground as he spoke.

"Little Brother, Zhaotian can’t hold on much longer. Maybe..."

Lin Fan had already noticed Chu Zhaotian’s condition. It was just more appropriate for Su Qing, their temporary team captain, to be the one to say something.

And Su Qing demonstrated her tacit understanding with him.

In truth, it wasn’t just Chu Zhaotian; all four of them were exhausted and panting.

Killing zombies sporadically since coming through the entrance had been manageable. But that recent burst of high-intensity killing had left these untrained people unable to even lift their arms, even if they were "supermen" with over one or two hundred health...

With the exception of Chu Zhaozhao...

Although the girl’s arms were tired, she was still full of energy, controlling a short spear to poke at the corpses on the ground, checking for any zombies playing dead...

After continuously killing zombies just now, her Life Value had increased to [207] points, and her Energy Value, being double her Life Value, had reached a maximum of [414] points!

It even made Lin Fan a little envious.

"Uh... should you guys go back and rest a bit? That big oaf just led away over thirty zombies. I was thinking I’d head back after you all finished killing these..."

Lin Fan said this while using his spear to lift a crippled zombie from the ground and toss it over to Su Qing.

"Zhaotian, Xu Qian, why don’t you two head back first..."

Su Qing turned her head and said to the two men behind her.

Xu Qian might be the quiet type, but he wasn’t stupid.

He turned and saw Chu Zhaotian beside him, panting with a flushed face. Although he still had some strength left, he nodded immediately and turned to say:

"Sister Su, I am a bit tired... Zhaotian, come back with me. We’ll leave this to Brother Lin and the other two..."

"HUFF... Uh... Zhaozhao, are you guys okay?"

Unsure if he was worried or just didn’t want to leave, Chu Zhaotian hesitantly asked Chu Zhaozhao, who was in front of him.

"You should hurry back. Even if my arms get tired, I can still control the short spear. Don’t worry!"

Chu Zhaozhao also wanted her brother to go back, so she spoke decisively.

"...Alright, fine."

Chu Zhaotian thought for a moment. Knowing he would only be a burden to his sister here, he agreed.

After he spoke, Chu Zhaozhao activated her ability, lifting the trash can a meter into the air, and the two men ducked out from underneath.
