Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Great Harvest__l

Translator: 549690339

Wang Tao was very surprised; he had thought that zombies capable of stealth were all hiding in dark places, waiting to launch surprise attacks. But now it seemed that wasn’t necessarily the case.

Like the one in front of him-when Wang Tao came over, it didn’t attack first but continued lying on the bed.

If Wang Tao hadn’t seen the red HP bar above its head as soon as he entered, he wouldn’t have been so decisive.

If someone else had come in unsuspectingly to check, they might have been in

big trouble.

After killing it, Wang Tao’s HP increased by 20, and he was now at [205/205]. Wang Tao couldn’t help but feel that his physical capabilities had slightly enhanced after his HP broke through 200… But there was no time to test it now; he’d study it carefully when he got back.

He flipped the zombie’s body over, and although half of its head had been smashed by him, he could still recognize from the other half that this was the proprietress of the shop.

As for where Boss Li had gone…

Wang Tao suddenly flipped back the quilt, only to see a bunch of bloody human bones lying in the arms of the zombie proprietress.

Shua—

Wang Tao hurriedly covered the quilt again; he would lose HP too if he saw

such scenes too much.

Having confirmed there was no immediate danger in the bedroom, Wang Tao turned his attention to the spoils he had obtained from killing the zombie proprietress.

[Obtained: Stealth Potion (Medium) X2]

[Stealth Potion (Medium): After injection, it can hide one’s scent, making it harder for zombies to detect. Duration 1 hour, cooldown time 12 hours. Friendly Reminder: Best used during daytime for maximum effect.]

“Great stuff! And it’s a double dose of potions!”

Wang Tao had previously guessed that there might be “Medium” and “Large” Stealth Potions, some of which might help hide from zombies, and he was right!

What he was lacking now was this kind of potion; potions for avoiding people weren’t of much use to him, at least not for the moment. But these for avoiding zombies were extremely useful!

He even felt like injecting a Stealth Potion now and going to provoke some zombies… But such dangerous thoughts were fleeting.

Because it was clearly stated in the description that it’s “harder to be detected by zombies,” not “won’t be detected by zombies”!

Wang Tao guessed that the principle behind the Stealth Potion might be to lower his own human scent? Zombies could normally detect him from a distance, but after injecting the potion, they could only do so from close proximity?

He figured that was more or less right.

After storing the Stealth Potion carefully, Wang Tao started scavenging for other spoils.

The bedroom wasn’t big, a bed and some sundries occupied the entire space. Boss Li and his wife were usually simple folks, not wearing much jewelry, so Wang Tao didn’t bother searching their bodies.

It was mainly the other things in the bedroom; Wang Tao immediately noticed three army-green square tin oil drums in the corner, each labeled with a 20L mark.

Wang Tao tried them out and found only one drum was full, another had only half diesel left, and the last was empty.

However, this was enough for Wang Tao; apparently, one liter of diesel could generate 3 to 4 kilowatt-hours of electricity, so with roughly thirty liters, that was almost 100 kilowatt-hours!

If he only used this electricity for freezing in his fridge, his fridge’s daily consumption was less than one kilowatt-hour, so this would last for quite some time.

After setting aside the oil drums, Wang Tao continued his scavenging.

But there wasn’t much of value left in the bedroom, and he found only a wallet,

a car key, and two mobile phones.

Then Wang Tao went to the kitchen. Although the kitchen looked like it had been ransacked, some food was left behind.

Wang Tao didn’t dare take some of the dirtier food, not sure if it had been contaminated with zombie blood.

After a simple selection process, he took an unopened 25kg bag of rice, a 25kg bag of flour, several bags of salt, sugar, some rice noodles, a large number 0 beverages, two bottles of beer, and a big bag of various types of takeout seasoning packets, roughly weighing 20kg.

“I didn’t expect you, the bushy-browed Boss Li, to use seasoning packets…” Wang Tao slightly criticized in his mind, but it was a good thing for him, as at least these unopened seasoning packets were clean and offered a rich variety of flavors, which weren’t too bad.

After sorting these things out, they weighed a hefty one hundred and fifty kilograms!

■’…there’s a bit too much to carry in one go.” Wang Tao suddenly found himself with the happy problem of abundance. Fortunately, he lived close to the residential area, so he could just make a few trips.

just as Wang Tao confirmed there were no zombies around and prepared to take some of the items home first, he suddenly heard a faint buzzing noise.

“Hmm? What’s that sound? And it’s getting louder!”

Wang Tao was instantly on guard. He put down the supplies and gripped the Wolf Fang Club in his hands tightly. The zombies outside seemed to have hear the noise too, and were getting restless.

in this post-apocalyptic world, any small change could prove deadly. Without knowing exactly what was going on, Wang Tao didn’t dare take the risk and head home.

He continued to wait in the restaurant, but he had already hung the iron hook of the roll-up door on the door itself, ready to bring it down in an instant should zombies approach. As for the back door of the small restaurant, Wang Tao had locked it from the inside long ago.

“Buzz-”

“Whoosh- ”

The sound grew from a distance, and Wang Tao, hiding by the door, suddenly looked up.

In the distant azure sky, a small black dot appeared.

“That’s… a plane!”

Wang Tao’s gaze sharpened, his heart suddenly filled with excitement.

He quickly checked his phone in his pocket.

“Today is… April 18th, the day the Government said they would make the airdrop!”

“The Government is still there-at least it’s still operating well enough to keep its promises!”

Wang Tao’s spirits rose all at once, his eyes firmly fixed on the growing black dot.

As the roar of the turboprop engine grew louder, Wang Tao recognized it as a Government military transport plane!

Could it really be an airdrop?

Wang Tao was hopeful.

“If only the airdrop would land nearby…”

“Whoosh– ”

“Hehe…”

“Roar— ”

With the arrival of the plane, the zombies outside grew more frenzied and started running about wildly.

Wang Tao was a bit anxious. Luckily, there weren’t many zombies around, so for the time being, there wasn’t much risk of being exposed.

“They’re dropping supplies!”

Suddenly, Wang Tao saw crates being released from the transport plane’s rear, like an animal laying eggs. Some of the airdrops had parachutes unfold, whtle others didn’t.

As the plane drew closer, Wang Tao grew more excited.

However, he quickly cursed under his breath because, as it got closer, he realized the plane was starting to turn!

“Forget it, that’s just my luck—hmm?”

just as Wang Tao was about to lament his bad luck, he saw the plane make a turn and suddenly drop another airdrop!

This one was very close to him; he could even see the large letters on the crate! And it was a parachute-equipped airdrop!

Wang Tao was instantly torn.

To take, or not to take….
