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

“Mr. Wang, do you have any further instructions? Whatever instructions you have, I can fulfill them for you~”

Looking at the somewhat attractive middle-aged woman flirting in front of him, Wang Tao smiled slightly.

“Thank you, but no need. Please go back.”

The woman’s expression stiffened.

She asked again, unwilling to give up. After confirming that Wang Tao really didn’t have any other instructions, she left with a look of disappointment.

The sight of Wang Tao’s muscular body had made her envious! It was a shame that he wasn’t interested in her. Although the girl with Wang Tao was indeed much prettier than she was, she could guarantee that she had more experience…

Once the woman had left, Wang Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

It was his first time encountering such a zealous and hospitable woman and he felt somewhat out of his element.

“Brother, I felt like you wanted to keep her, but why did you let her go?”

“…”

Wang Tao rubbed Jiang Shixue’s hair a bit irritably.

“Adult matters, kids shouldn’t interrupt.”

Hearing this, Jiang Shixue was somewhat puzzled.

“Didn’t you say yesterday that I’m not a child anymore?”

“…Okay, because she’s not as pretty as Little Xue, I didn’t want her to stay around me for long,” Wang Tao shrugged.

“I see… Thank you for the compliment, Brother,” Jiang Shixue said, her face breaking into a sweet smile.

Although she couldn’t remember many things that were common knowledge, as long as Wang Tao complimented her, she felt very happy.

Wang Tao wasn’t too picky about where he stayed, as long as it was clean. Jiang Shixue was even less fussy; she still retained some zombie habits and could sleep anywhere with just a pad to lie down on…

After a while, Xu Xiaojun arrived.

He said he would take Wang Tao on a tour around the camp.

Fish Bay Camp was actually quite large, with over one hundred and fifty people. It was like a small society, with all kinds of occupations represented.

Food was the hard currency here. If you had food, you could have almost anyone in the camp serve you. Of course, to do so, you would need a large amount of food, which very few people had.

Survivors were the foundation of the camp but at the same time, they were the cheapest commodity.

Following Xu Xiaojun, Wang Tao went again to that spacious hall and saw many survivors offering themselves for hire. There were men and women, old and young.

As long as someone offered food, they would do anything asked of them. Of course, this didn’t include going out to scavenge for supplies. If they had the ability to find supplies, they wouldn’t be hiring themselves out in the first place.

To say “hiring” was really to sell oneself to someone powerful. It wasn’t quite slavery, as there were rules in the camp, but it was pretty close. They were guaranteed their lives, but nothing else.

Fish Bay Camp only provided accommodation, not food. If you wanted food, you either did the jobs assigned by Eldest Lu, or you found a way on your own.

There were only so many jobs available in the camp, certainly not enough to sustain everyone. So the rest had to figure it out for themselves.

The moment Wang Tao arrived, many such people set their eyes on him.

After all, with his formidable size, even a fool could tell that he was a big sturdy leg to cling to!

“Big brother, buy me! I can wash clothes, cook, and warm your bed…”

“Just one meal a day, Brother, I’ll do anything you ask…”

“…”

Looking at these men and women with desperate faces, Wang Tao sighed inwardly, but did not soften; after all, he was no savior.

Without lingering long in that place, Wang Tao headed toward the stalls.

Xu Xiaojun told Wang Tao that he heard the stalls sometimes sold good stuff. However, he hadn’t been there much and wasn’t very clear on it.

“Big brother, need a knife? This is a good knife made overseas! Sharp enough to slice hair, strong enough to cut through iron! It’s a great assistant in killing zombies!”

No sooner had he arrived than someone started pitching their product to Wang Tao.

Looking at the “good knife” that even had some notches on its blade, Wang Tao peered deeply at the seller. The man felt as though he was being targeted by a ferocious beast, struggling to breathe properly.

One second later, the man hastily retreated, drenched in cold sweat.

After Wang Tao walked away, the seller finally took a deep breath, feeling as though he had narrowly escaped death.

“Whew—so strong! He feels even more terrifying than those zombies!”

He had just seen a new face come by and thought to test the waters.

Though Eldest Lu was quite courteous to this man, there were always those ready to try their luck no matter where they were. Their rule here was “buy and leave,” and once a transaction was completed, it couldn’t be reversed, a rule even Eldest Lu had to abide by,

But he hadn’t expected this man to be so much more terrifying than Eldest Lu!

In that instant, he truly thought he was going to die…

Many people had noticed this interaction, and when they saw the knife seller hastily retreating from Wang Tao’s gaze, they immediately felt a chill. This newcomer was clearly not someone to be trifled with!

Those who had wanted to swindle a deal or had designs on the girl with Wang Tao immediately curbed their plans.

They had survived so long in Fish Bay Camp by being sharp-eyed—never missing a chance to take advantage of someone, but never messing with those they couldn’t afford to offend. This new, bulky newcomer was obviously in the latter category.

With no unwise souls approaching, Wang Tao felt much more comfortable.

He had heard from Xu Xiaojun that there were many stalls around, so he was looking to see if there were any weapons suitable for Jiang Shixue’s use.

Perhaps due to habits acquired as a zombie, Jiang Shixue preferred to fight with her claws. Although she wasn’t afraid of the zombie virus, those little white and tender hands getting hurt would be such a pity.
