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

Chapter 349: Chapter 167: Fatal Acupoint_2

But after waiting a long while, no fish bit the bait, and his hand was getting a bit sore. After all, holding this thick steel pipe was tiring.

“Maybe I need to chum the water first…”

After thinking it over, Wang Tao took out a bottle of nutrient solution and, after opening the lid, threw it near the float.

A moment later, Wang Tao felt something tugging at his rod. He waited a little, then suddenly heaved upwards.

Whoosh—

Water splashed everywhere as Wang Tao yanked a huge grass carp out of the water.

“Holy shit!”

Wang Tao let out an involuntary curse.

He had heard that this lake’s fish were big, but he hadn’t expected them to be this big—this grass carp had to be the size of an ordinary human!

Bang!

Wang Tao flung the grass carp onto the shore, and Xu Xiaojun hurriedly went over to hold it down.

Subduing these fish in the water would have been troublesome, even for Xu Xiaojun, who might not have been able to hold them. But now on the shore, Xu Xiaojun easily handled the big fish.

Wang Tao originally thought one fish would be enough to use as bait, but looking at this big fish, he suddenly felt a craving.

“Let’s fish another one! To satisfy the craving!”

Recently, he had been eating nutrient solution every day and his mouth was yearning for some taste, craving fish.

As for whether the fish had ever eaten human flesh or the like, Wang Tao didn’t care. Even if the fish had eaten people, it would have digested them, which didn’t mean Wang Tao was eating humans. Plus, he just wouldn’t eat the innards.

This big grass carp had a strong life energy; even on shore, it was still thrashing about vigorously.

Wang Tao asked Xu Xiaojun to watch it, and continued fishing.

A short while later, he pulled up another one.

It was also a big grass carp, even larger than the one before.

Wang Tao handed this fish over to Jiang Shixue.

“This will be our dinner!”

“Okay~”

Jiang Shixue was petite, and the fish were much larger than her.

The big fish flopped about next to her as if it wanted to eat her.

Jiang Shixue directly threw a punch, knocking the fish out cold in an instant. Then she hoisted the fish and walked off.

Xu Xiaojun, who was pressing down hard on the other big fish, cursed himself for being stupid when he saw this, and then with a couple of punches, he also knocked out the big fish under him.

Wang Tao returned to the vicinity of the granary, telling Jiang Shixue to take the fish to where they stayed the previous night. He then made a lot of cuts on the big fish Xu Xiaojun was holding.

Suddenly, the big fish came to, struggling frantically, with much of its blood flowing out.

Wang Tao tied the big fish tight and then flung it right into the underground granary’s hole.

Slap, slap—

The blood-covered big fish thrashed wildly at the hole, but it couldn’t escape because it was tied up with rope.

Wang Tao and the other two lay in wait nearby, keeping a close eye on the hole.

At a certain moment, a light flashed in both Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue’s eyes!

“It’s here!”

Both of them sensed a terrifying presence.

But to Wang Tao’s disappointment, it seemed to just glance into the hole and then leave.

“Can it really hold back?”

Watching the ordinary zombies being drawn in from around them, Wang Tao was somewhat confused. These ordinary zombies were coming, but the Blood-red Zombie wouldn’t come out?

Xu Xiaojun went to deal with the ordinary zombies, and Wang Tao continued to wait for a moment. But still to no avail, the Blood-red Zombie did not appear.

“Since that’s the case, don’t blame me!”

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue came to the entrance of the underground granary together. Xu Xiaojun was too weak, so he was not asked to come over.

They opened the door, and it was pitch dark inside, emitting a gloomy atmosphere.

However, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue had night vision, so they didn’t fear any surprise attacks.

Without hesitation, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue went straight down.

It was safe at the entrance, as they weren’t attacked at all, but as they went deeper, a terrifying and fierce figure suddenly appeared behind Wang Tao!

Swish—

The Blood-red Zombie pounced directly at Wang Tao, but Jiang Shixue punched it and sent it flying.

Although the punch didn’t cause much damage, the Blood-red Zombie was clearly angered. It roared and charged straight at Jiang Shixue.

In this relatively narrow space, neither Wang Tao nor Jiang Shixue could utilize their full power. After exchanging a few moves with the Blood-red Zombie, they immediately retreated.

The Blood-red Zombie was relentless, unwilling to let Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue go.

Fortunately, they were strong enough to withstand an attack from the Blood-red Zombie, and Wang Tao made it back to the surface.

“Phew—such a high attack!”

Wang Tao rubbed his somewhat numb back.

He had just taken a hit from the Blood-red Zombie on the back, and even with stubborn armor and Barrier Ability, he still lost over three hundred HP.

Probably if it had been Xu Xiaojun who came, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand a single hit.

The two of them kept alert, watching the entrance. They saw the Blood-red Zombie roar at Wang Tao from below and then dive into the darkness. Even when Wang Tao shone a flashlight on it, it wouldn’t come out.

“Seriously… Can it really hold back?”

Wang Tao frowned.

Could it be that this zombie had no intelligence at all? Didn’t get mad?

Nevertheless, Wang Tao, not quite ready to give up, took another risk with Jiang Shixue.

But he could clearly feel that the zombie was indeed a bit angry, and it seemed to remember him… But even so, the zombie still did not chase them out.

Wang Tao had thought this to be the most likely successful strategy, but it failed just like the first plan.

“Should we proceed with the third plan?”

Jiang Shixue tilted her head and looked at Wang Tao.

Wang Tao glanced at the sky; the sun was already setting.

After a brief hesitation, Wang Tao firmly nodded his head.

“Let’s do it! If we wait until tomorrow and the other two zombies return, it could get even more troublesome! There’s still some time before it gets completely dark; that should be enough!”
