Great Harvest

Chapter 34: A Great Harvest Wang Tao was quite surprised. He had assumed that zombies with stealth abilities would hide in the shadows and launch surprise attacks. But it seemed that wasn't always the case. Like the zombie in front of him, it didn't attack immediately when Wang Tao approached, but continued to lie in bed. If Wang Tao hadn't seen the red Health Bar above its head as soon as he entered, he wouldn't have been so decisive. If someone else had gone to check on it without any precautions, they might have been in serious trouble. After killing it, Wang Tao's health increased by 20, now at [205/205]. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but after his health exceeded 200, Wang Tao felt like his physical fitness had slightly improved... But now wasn't the time to test it. He'd study it carefully when he got back. He flipped the zombie over. Although half of its head was smashed, he could still recognize the general outline of the Boss Lady from the remaining half of her face. As for where Boss Li went... Wang Tao suddenly lifted the blanket, only to see a pile of bloody human skeletons lying in the Boss Lady zombie's arms. Swish— Wang Tao quickly covered it up again. He would lose health if he saw too many of these scenes. Confirming that there was no immediate danger in the bedroom, Wang Tao turned his attention to the spoils he had obtained from killing the Boss Lady zombie.

[Obtained: Stealth Potion (Medium) *2]
    
    [Stealth Potion (Medium): After injection, it can conceal your aura, making it difficult for zombies to detect you. Duration: 1 hour, Cooldown: 12 hours. Warm reminder: Best used during the day.]

"Good stuff! And a double dose!" Wang Tao had previously guessed that there might be "Medium" and "Large" versions of the Stealth Potion, and that they might be useful for hiding from zombies. He had guessed right! What he needed now was this kind of potion. Potions for hiding from people were useless to him, at least for now. But this one for hiding from zombies was extremely useful! He even wanted to inject this Stealth Potion now and go provoke the zombies... However, this dangerous thought only flashed through his mind. Because the description clearly stated that it made it "difficult for zombies to detect you" rather than "zombies won't detect you"! Wang Tao guessed that the principle of this Stealth Potion might be to reduce his aura as a human? Zombies could originally detect him from a distance, but after injecting this potion, they could only detect him at close range? He thought it should be close to that. After putting away the Stealth Potion, Wang Tao began to search for other spoils. The bedroom wasn't big. A bed and some clutter filled the entire space. Boss Li and his wife were usually quite simple, and didn't wear any accessories, so Wang Tao didn't bother searching their bodies. Mainly, Wang Tao saw three military-green square iron oil drums in the corner. Each oil drum had the words "20L" written on it. Wang Tao tried them. Only one drum was full, one drum had only half a drum of Diesel, and the remaining one was empty. But that was enough for Wang Tao. One liter of Diesel seemed to generate 3 or 4 kilowatt-hours of electricity. This was about thirty liters, so that was almost 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity! If this electricity was only used for refrigerator freezing, his refrigerator consumed less than 1 kilowatt-hour per day, so it could last a long time. Putting the oil drums aside for now, Wang Tao continued to search. But there wasn't anything else good in the bedroom. He only found a wallet, a car key, and two mobile phones. Then Wang Tao came to the kitchen. Although the kitchen seemed to have been looted, and many things were gone, there was still some food left. Wang Tao didn't dare to take some of the too dirty food, after all, he wasn't sure if there was zombie blood on it. After a simple selection, he took a bag of unopened 25kg rice, a bag of 25kg flour, several bags of salt, sugar, some rice noodles, a large pile of drinks, two cases of bottled beer, and a large bag of various takeaway ready-to-eat meals, estimated to be 20kg. "I didn't expect you, Boss Li, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, to use ready-to-eat meals..." Wang Tao complained slightly in his heart, but this was a good thing for him. At least these unopened ready-to-eat meals were very clean, and the flavors were rich and the taste was good. After simply sorting these things, there was a full one hundred and fifty kilograms! "...A bit too much, I can't take it all at once." Wang Tao suddenly had a bit of happy trouble. Fortunately, this place was close to the Residential Area, so he could just make a few more trips. Just as Wang Tao confirmed that there were no zombies around and was preparing to take some of the items home first, he suddenly heard a faint buzzing sound. "Hmm? What's that sound? And it's getting louder!" Wang Tao instantly became vigilant. He put down the supplies and tightly gripped the Wolf Tooth Club in his hand. The zombies outside seemed to have heard the noise as well, and felt a bit manic. Now was the apocalypse, and any slight change could be fatal. Before confirming the specific situation, Wang Tao didn't dare to risk going home. He continued to wait in the restaurant, but he had already hung the iron hook of the rolling shutter door on the door. If there were zombies coming outside, he could pull the rolling shutter door down instantly. As for the back door of the small restaurant, Wang Tao had already locked it from the inside.

"Buzz~"

"Whoosh--"

The sound went from far to near, and Wang Tao, who was hiding at the door, suddenly looked up.

In the distance, a small black dot appeared in the azure sky.

"That's... an airplane!"

Wang Tao's eyes narrowed, and he immediately felt a little excited.

He quickly looked at the phone in his pocket.

"Today is... April 18th, the day the government announced for the airdrop!"

"The government is still around—at least it can barely function and fulfill its promises!"

Wang Tao's mood suddenly lifted, and he stared at the small black dot that was getting bigger and bigger.

As the increasingly loud roar of the turbine sounded, Wang Tao recognized that this was the government's Military Transport Plane!

Is there really an airdrop? Wang Tao was a little expectant.

"If the airdrop could land nearby, that would be great..."

"Whoosh--"

"Ho Ho..."

"Roar--"

As the plane arrived, the zombies outside became more and more violent and began to run around.

Wang Tao was a little nervous. Fortunately, there were not many zombies here, so there was no risk of exposure for the time being.

"They're dropping supplies!"

Suddenly, Wang Tao saw boxes coming out of the Transport Plane's rear, like laying eggs. Some airdrops opened their parachutes, while others did not.

Watching the plane get closer and closer to him, Wang Tao became more and more excited.

But soon, Wang Tao cursed inwardly, because he realized that the plane was about to turn!

"Forget it, that's my luck—huh?"

Wang Tao was about to say that he was unlucky when he saw the plane suddenly drop another airdrop while turning! This airdrop was very close to him, and he could even see the large characters on the airdrop box! Moreover, this was an airdrop with a parachute!

Wang Tao instantly fell into a dilemma.

Take it, or not
