Apocalypse: I Can See Health Bars

Chapter 112: Chapter 111: Die, Monster

Lin Fan casually planted the spear in his hand into the concrete tiles on the ground, took out the key to the hallway, and handed it to Chu Zhaotian. He pointed to the correct door, then watched as the two of them supported each other and went inside.

Looking at the corpses littering the ground, Lin Fan let out a long breath.

He hadn’t fought much since coming down, having mostly just been running around.

He glanced at his hands, which were still fairly clean, then casually caressed the two girls’ faces and said fondly, "Phew... You must be exhausted..."

"I’m okay. I still have some strength left..."

Su Qing leaned her spear on the ground and was the first to reply.

"I... I’m out of energy... but my ability is still fine. Big Bro, look!"

As Chu Zhaozhao spoke, a short spear flew back from a distance, heading straight for Lin Fan’s face!

Lin Fan casually caught the short spear, feeling the force coming from it. Although subtle, it felt stronger than before. He then looked at her energy bar: [186/414].

After such a high-intensity battle, her Energy Value hadn’t even dropped below one hundred. It seemed she was carefully controlling the frequency and timing of her ability.

"You two, just hang on a little longer. One of you, go and finish off those few zombies lying over there. We don’t want them biting at our ankles later..."

Chu Zhaozhao’s body was exhausted. She draped her upper body over the dumpster and said lazily:

"Sister Qing, can you go...? I’ll rest here for a bit..."

"Mm... Alright, then..."

Lin Fan reached out and pulled Su Qing out from behind the dumpster.

Seeing the edges of her clothes were soaked with sweat, he took out his walkie-talkie and said, "Zhaotian... or Xu Qian, toss two bottles of water down for me..."

After speaking, he also leaned against the dumpster. He handed the nearby spear to Su Qing and, while stroking Chu Zhaozhao’s hair, said to Su Qing:

"Sister Qing, are you sure you don’t need to rest for a bit?"

Upon hearing him, Su Qing simply hefted her spear, swinging it with both hands to create a WHOOSHING sound. Her face was flushed from the intense exertion, but her expression held a stubborn refusal to back down.

"Don’t underestimate me,"

she said, glancing at Chu Zhaozhao’s small face, her eyes closed as Lin Fan stroked her hair. She then wrinkled her nose at him and added:

"I’m the big sister here..."

With that, she tapped the ground with the head of her spear and walked towards the zombies in the distance that were still crawling or lying on their backs, growling incessantly.

Lin Fan looked at her tired but still ramrod-straight back, then at Chu Zhaozhao, who was draped over the dumpster and almost asleep. He couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.

A short while later, before Su Qing could finish off the downed zombies, the hallway door opened again, and Xu Qian’s figure emerged.

"Sister Qing..."

As soon as he came out, he saw Su Qing was the closest and quickly nodded in greeting.

After this morning’s battle, his respect and awe for the beautiful woman before him had skyrocketed.

’Calm, decisive, and at times, even revealing a ruthless streak.’

’Fighting alongside her, he could even see a hint of Lin Fan in her...’

Seeing that she was finishing off the zombies on the ground, he didn’t approach her and went directly to Lin Fan.

"Brother Lin, Zhaotian fell asleep. The water..."

he said, handing over the three bottles of water he was holding.

"You’re not going back up?"

Lin Fan took the water, twisted open one bottle, then gently tapped Chu Zhaozhao on the head.

"Get up and have some water. Don’t fall asleep, we still have work to do..."

He pushed the water bottle into Chu Zhaozhao’s hand and then heard Xu Qian say:

"Uh... I still have some stamina left..."

"Alright, fall in."

Xu Qian obviously didn’t want to give up this opportunity to kill zombies and get stronger. After Chu Zhaotian fell asleep, he used the chance of delivering water to come back downstairs.

Lin Fan didn’t mind. Being proactive was always a good thing. He patted Xu Qian’s shoulder and readily agreed.

"Little Bro, are they all dead yet...?"

In that short time, Su Qing had finished clearing the battlefield. Lin Fan scanned the area, and seeing not a single numbered health bar left, he finally nodded in relief.

"They’re all dead. Sister Qing, come on back..."

Su Qing’s Life Value had also risen to [166/166]. When she drew near, Lin Fan placed his hands on her waist and helped her into the "mobile castle."

"That big oaf I sent to run circles with the zombies, where’d he run off to?"

Lin Fan muttered in confusion, looking in the direction where Wang Yuanhua had just run off with the zombies.

’It’s been at least ten minutes. He should be back by now, even if he ran a full lap around the complex...’

"Sister Qing, Zhaozhao, Xu Qian, stay alert. Something might have happened on his end. I’m going to check it out. Be ready to either take cover or kill zombies at a moment’s notice!"

A sense of unease from an unexpected deviation in the plan rose within him. Frowning, Lin Fan finished briefing the other three. Just as he was about to head in Wang Yuanhua’s direction, he heard a faint, intermittent sound...

...

’This job... is pretty easy.’

Wang Yuanhua thought to himself.

Turning his head to look at the dozens of zombies following behind him, he couldn’t help but recall that figure from before.

’That leader... based on strength alone, he seemed even a bit stronger than me.’

’I wonder how many Crystal Stones he’s eaten from zombies...’

It wasn’t just the leader; even the group of four in the dumpster showed him what a professional team was.

’Those four gave me the impression of a large meat grinder; no matter how many zombies there were, they would be ground to pieces.’

’But their weakness is also like a meat grinder: you can’t stuff too much in at once, or it will get clogged...’

’Someone needed to divert the flow, which is exactly what I’m doing now.’

’I guess I’m doing them a huge favor...’

He got a sense of the time and figured he should be heading back. Wang Yuanhua, pulling the horde of zombies behind him, turned a corner, preparing to head back.

Just as he changed direction and rounded the first-floor balcony of a building, a casual glance made his hair stand on end!

A tall zombie, attracted by the noise outside, was standing on the first-floor balcony, searching for the source of the sound.

The moment their eyes met, the zombie seemed to activate, instantly going berserk. With a casual wave of its hand, it shattered the front wall of the balcony in an instant!

Bricks and stones flew everywhere, leaving bloody marks on Wang Yuanhua’s body and even knocking down a swath of zombies behind him!

’It’s a Mutated Zombie!’

Wang Yuanhua’s heart went cold, but it was immediately followed by a surge of fanaticism.

’It has a Crystal Stone! If I eat it, I’ll get stronger!’

He quickly sized up the big guy in front of him.

’Over two meters tall, with thick, powerful arms... a little long, maybe, but it looks just like that monstrously strong zombie I almost died killing before! Both are strength-types!’

’I... I should be able to take it!’

’Maybe after eating one more Crystal Stone, I’ll become even stronger than that "leader"!’

Spurred on by this thought, Wang Yuanhua glanced at the zombies behind him that hadn’t caught up yet, gripped the crowbar in his hand, and charged toward the tall zombie!

’It’s not like I’ve never killed a big one before!’

’So what if it’s a Mutated Zombie!’

’Die!’
