“Alright!”

Han Rui entered the cockpit, opened the window, set the sniper crossbow on the sill, and aimed at the Self-exploder.

Meanwhile, Wang Tao started the car and drove slowly towards the entrance of the residential area. Upon reaching the ideal position, Wang Tao whispered,

“Go!”

Han Rui had been keeping her sights on the Suicide Bombing Zombie, and upon hearing Wang Tao’s command, she decisively pulled the trigger!

Whoosh—

Wang Tao could barely make out the trajectory of the crossbow arrow, then he saw an arrow lodged in the Self-exploder’s skull.

At the same time, a damage number floated up.

[-1200]

[0/1200]

The Self-exploder died instantly.

“Huh?”

The damage was higher than Wang Tao had expected.

“The Self-exploder’s defense really is mediocre!

However, upon death, the exposed organs on the Self-exploder’s body continued to swell, albeit not as quickly as when it was alive. Yet, judging by the increasingly bloated appearance of its corpse, it was still going to explode.

“Damn, the corpse really is going to explode!

Wang Tao cursed softly upon seeing this from inside the car.

He had anticipated that the Self-exploder’s corpse might explode, which was why he didn’t approach and only had Han Rui shoot from a distance.

Previously, Lu Gang had told Wang Tao that when he shot a Self-exploder, even if he killed it, it would still explode.

Lu Gang had no reason to lie to Wang Tao, but Wang Tao wanted to try for himself. After all, there was still a possibility that Lu Gang hadn’t been able to kill the Self-exploder with a single shot, thus triggering its self-detonation.

After all, Lu Gang couldn’t see the Self-exploder’s HP.

But now it seemed that whether or not one could kill with a single shot, Suicide Bombing Zombies would still explode!

However, the explosion timing when a Self-exploder was alive differed from after its death… When Wang Tao drove the car to a temporary hiding spot they had prepared in advance, the Self-exploder’s corpse finally exploded with a blast.

Boom!

Wang Tao hurriedly closed the door.

Moments later, terrifying roars echoed through the streets as the Mad Demon

Zombies appeared again.

Both of them were far enough from the location of the Suicide Bombing Zombie and hidden inside the house, so they weren’t in any danger. This was the advantage of the crossbow; its quiet firing sound didn’t attract zombies. While observing the Mad Demon Zombies outside, Wang Tao pondered the timing of the Self-exploder’s explosion.

If a Self-exploder was alive and disturbed, it would explode within three seconds.

But now, Wang Tao checked and found that about ten seconds had passed before its corpse exploded.

Three seconds was too short to do much, but ten seconds opened up more possibilities; if one was skilled enough, it was enough time to extract a Zombie Core and escape…

The two waited in the room for about a few minutes until the Mad Demon Zombies left.

It seemed they couldn’t detect any “human scent,” so they didn’t linger and moved on. After all, Han Rui had killed from a distance, and no one had approached the scene.

Once they were sure there was no danger, Wang Tao drove the car to the explosion site, where a Red Crystal Core was glittering on the ground.

Han Rui opened the car door and instantly picked up the Crystal Core, while Wang Tao’s car didn’t stop and continued forward.

“Here.”

In the car, Han Rui handed the Red Crystal Core to Wang Tao.

[Level 1 Crystal Core – Self Detonation]

[Quality: Excellent (80%)]

[Purity: 50% (Side effects: None)]

Lucky, it was an Excellent Quality Crystal Core, but unfortunately, it was a Self-Destruct Crystal Core, which didn’t seem useful at the moment. He already had two Self-Destruct Crystal Cores in his possession, one Purple Excellent (60%), and now this Red Excellent.

He wondered whether he should get an ordinary white Self-Destruct Crystal Core from the committee when he got back and then synthesize an Epic Quality (100%) Self-Destruct Crystal Core?

Although it seemed of little use, an Orange Crystal Core would certainly look nice…

Shaking his head, Wang Tao stored the Crystal Core and said to Han Rui beside him,

“Let’s go search for the last airdrop; we’ll look for an hour. Whether we find it or not, we’ll have to head back.”

Speaking of which, Han Rui’s kill on the Suicide Bombing Zombies just now added 40 HP, and her HP had reached [640/640], which already made her one of the strong ones in the base.

“Alright!”

Han Rui pulled out the map.

Before coming, they had marked the approximate location of the airdrop landing spots on the map. Although it wasn’t certain they would find it, it was better than flailing around aimlessly.

About half an hour later, Wang Tao received both good and bad news. The good news was they found the airdrop on the roof of a building. The bad news was that the airdrop box contained only one box of Inhibitor- clearly a battle had taken place here, and although there were no bodies, there was fresh blood… It felt like the battle hadn’t happened long ago.

Looking at the box brimming with 20 vials of Inhibitor, Wang Tao felt puzzled. Since the airdrop had been found, why wasn’t it taken completely? Why leave one box behind?

This could only mean one thing-those who had arrived before them must have been in an extremely dangerous situation, without even time to take the last box of Inhibitor.

Wang Tao guessed they had probably encountered a formidable special zombie. After having Han Rui carefully sense the surroundings and confirm that there were no special zombies nearby, he took the box of Inhibitor and left.

“Let’s go back.”

Though they only obtained one box, it was still better than nothing; the trip hadn’t been in vain.

Wang Tao drove the car toward the direction of the third airdrop he had spotted earlier, which coincidentally was also on their way back.

If luck was on their side, perhaps they could claim that airdrop too.

However, when they reached another alley, Wang Tao suddenly stopped the

car.

“Huh?”

“What’s wrong?”

Han Rui was puzzled.

“I saw an acquaintance…”

Wang Tao’s expression was somewhat strange.

Han Rui followed his gaze but saw nothing in the alley.

“1’11 go check it out. You drive and be ready to back me up at any moment.” After telling Han Rui his plan, Wang Tao got out of the car and walked towards the alley.

He had indeed seen an acquaintance in the alley just now, not someone else, but Blondy Wu Fei, whom he had encountered before at the water plant!
