Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Big Hammer Zombie_l

Translator: 549690339

It hurt, a piercing pain!

Wang Tao struggled to get up from the ground, his arms numb and everywhere else aching.

[-80]

[170/260]

He glanced at his HP bar, a direct loss of 80 HP!

Thud– thud

Zzzt

This was a gigantic zombie, at least two meters twenty-three tall, dressed in an orange work uniform with reflective stripes, dragging a reinforced concrete hammer and walking step by step toward Wang Tao, as sparks flew when the steel bar scraped against the ground.

“What the hell is this!”

Looking at the opponent’s HP bar of [1000/1000] above its head, Wang Tao swallowed hard.

As the Big Hammer Zombie stepped out of the house into the sunlight, it suddenly covered its eyes with its hand. This gave Wang Tao the chance to escape; he hurried over to pick up his weapon.

But looking at his own ‘toothpick’ in hand and then at the opponent’s massive club, Wang Tao’s face turned ugly.

How was he supposed to fight this?

Thud– thud

Zzzt

The Big Hammer Zombie approached Wang Tao once again. Wang Tao glanced at the side door, then back at the airdrop behind the Big Hammer Zombie, gritted his teeth, and instantly prepared to retreat.

Airdrops are great, but one must be alive to take them.

And just then, when the Big Hammer Zombie was more than three meters away from Wang Tao, it suddenly raised its hammer with both hands and then smashed it down fiercely!

“It’s moving so slowly!”

Wang Tao observed as he dodged.

If the opponent’s speed was slow, then he might stand a chance to fight!

What Wang Tao didn’t expect was that, although he had clearly dodged the Big Hammer Zombie’s attack, when the attack hit the ground, it created a visible small-range shockwave!

Thud!

Bang!

Woosh

Wang Tao was hit by the shockwave and slammed against the iron fence.

He felt his vision blurring and as if all his organs had shifted, his mouth even tasted somewhat sweet.

[-102]

[-23]

[45/260]

Only less than 20% HP left!

Thud– thud

Zzzt

The Big Hammer Zombie, dragging the steel bar, once again walked toward Wang Tao step by step.

Now, with the Big Hammer Zombie standing at the gate, Wang Tao felt he couldn’t even run if he wanted to.

The iron fence wasn’t high, but climbing over it also took time, and he didn’t think the Big Hammer Zombie would give him that time! Plus, he felt so weak and achy all over, he doubted he could make it over.

“Is today the day I’m going to fall here…”

Wang Tao struggled to his feet, then slowly moved towards where the airdrop lay.

The Big Hammer Zombie followed Wang Tao’s movements to switch direction, but while looking at Wang Tao, it suddenly covered its eyes with its hand again, and its steps came to a halt.

Despite being in grave danger, Wang Tao remained calm.

“The Big Hammer Zombie has blocked its eyes twice! What is it blocking?”

Wang Tao hastily looked back, the afternoon sunlight making him squint instantly.

“It’s blocking the sunlight! Is it afraid of light?!”

Joy surged in Wang Tao’s heart. He quickly started searching on himself.

Thud– thud

Zzzt

The Big Hammer Zombie, dragging the steel bar, slowly approached.

Because it was facing the sunlight, it moved very slowly this time, shielding its eyes with its hand every few steps. But it eventually got close to Wang Tao and then raised its reinforced steel hammer.

Bang!

This time, Wang Tao was prepared, he ducked at a greater distance and was not hit by the shockwave.

However, there wasn’t much space to begin with, so in order to dodge the attack, Wang Tao had no choice but to vacate the spot, which allowed the Big Hammer Zombie to see him without staring directly into the sunlight afterward.

Thud—Thud—

Ssshhh—

As the Big Hammer Zombie approached Wang Tao again, ready to lift its hammer, Wang Tao suddenly pulled something out of his pocket and shone it at the zombie.

Woosh—

A blinding white light emitted from the flashlight in Wang Tao’s hand, striking the Big Hammer Zombie’s eyes.

Bang-

The Big Hammer Zombie’s freshly raised hammer instantly fell to the ground as it covered its eyes with its hands.

“Huff—”

Wang Tao, seeing that his flashlight wasn’t damaged and that it was effective against the Big Hammer Zombie, breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a powerful flashlight he had found while scavenging in a building. Even in broad daylight, its beam was clearly visible. Wang Tao carried many things with him for contingencies, like having to spend the night outside, and the flashlight was one of these things.

But he had never imagined that the first time he would use the flashlight outside would be under such circumstances.

Now that he had discovered the Big Hammer Zombie’s weakness, Wang Tao was in no hurry to run.

With the flashlight in his left hand continuously shining on the Big Hammer Zombie’s eyes, he wielded the Wolf Fang Club in his right hand, quickly got up close, and struck its head!

[-34]

This damage number left Wang Tao in stunned silence.

But there was no time to ponder; he struck twice more.

[-25]

[-31]

Wang Tao:

“Roar-”

The Big Hammer Zombie, enduring the discomfort from the light, swung its other hand violently.

Bang!

[-141

[30/260]

Wang Tao blocked the blow with the armguard on his arm, but his entire arm went numb, and he lost 14 HP.

Looking at his own remaining 30 HP, Wang Tao’s mouth curled under his face mask.

“I think I know… how to kill you!”

The Big Hammer Zombie’s hammer-smashing attack was powerful and had a wide range, but its wind-up was slow. As long as he watched its movements and wasn’t cornered, he could dodge with his speed.

After being dazzled by the light, the Big Hammer Zombie would cover its eyes for several seconds, during which it wouldn’t attack.

After a few seconds, it might swing its hand, but that damage wouldn’t be enough to kill Wang Tao instantly.

Wang Tao focused on those precious seconds. In that time, he could deliver several blows! If one blow could deal 30 damage, he would only need to land just over thirty hits to kill it!

Of course, this was an ideal scenario. Wang Tao couldn’t make a single mistake. He was down to his last 30 HP, and his body was exhausted. If he was hit even once by the Big Hammer Zombie, he might be killed instantly!

So…

A potion suddenly appeared in Wang Tao’s hand.

[Running Potion (Small): After injection, lower limb strength increases, running speed increases by io%-too% (the stronger the physique, the larger the increase), lasts for 10 minutes, cooldown 12 hours]

“I’ll take a gamble, if the speed increase exceeds 30%, I can fight! If it’s less than 30%, then I’ll retreat!”

Pfsst-

As the potion was injected into his arm, Wang Tao felt a surge of power in his legs! Even the strength in his upper body saw a slight increase!

Even his health bar displayed an [+30] sign!

“Is this… healing some of the damage to my lower body?”

Wang Tao was a bit surprised, but what delighted him more was the effect of the Running Potion, his health bar clearly showed [Running speed increased by 50%]!

Without a second thought, Wang Tao, holding the bright flashlight, charged at the Big Hammer Zombie.

The Big Hammer Zombie instinctively covered its eyes, and Wang Tao took the opportunity to land two heavy blows.

[-3U

[-331

Before the Big Hammer Zombie could swing at him, Wang Tao quickly retreated.

The zombie grasped at thin air.

The plan…. was workable!
