"Damn it, do I have to be such a jinx…"

Looking at the "Terror" Zombie not far away, Wang Tao was dumbfounded.

He just casually said he hoped to encounter a Hammer Zombie, but he didn't expect to actually encounter one now!

Should he detour? There's still time to detour.

But to be honest, seeing this Terror, he's a little reluctant to leave. After all, this Zombie can drop a Shockwave Zombie Crystal Core! "What to do?"

Wang Tao looked at the Terror in the middle of the road in the distance, and then at the remaining duration of the Stealth Potion below his Health Bar.

"The Stealth Potion's effect lasts for another 40 minutes, and it will take me about 20 minutes to go back, which means I have 20 minutes left..."

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Tao made up his mind! "I'll give it a try, and retreat if it doesn't work!"

Wang Tao slowly parked the car in an alley on the street. It was a dead end, very messy, with a lot of rotten garbage piled up, but no Zombies.

After getting out of the car, Wang Tao carefully observed the surroundings, and then came to the door of a house next to him.

The door was open, and the inside was a mess, with a lot of black blood stains on the ground and walls.

Wang Tao walked in with the Claw Hammer, cautiously searching around. Food and other things were gone, but he found what he wanted.

"Two glass seasoning bottles..."

The bottles were all empty, saving Wang Tao the trouble of cleaning them.

He went to the next two houses to scavenge, and although he only found one glass bottle, he found a bag of Laundry Detergent.

"So many bottles are broken, what a pity... but it should be enough to make three Molotov Cocktails!"

Wang Tao returned to the car, took out the gasoline barrel, and poured more than half but less than two-thirds of a bottle of gasoline into each of the three glass bottles. The gasoline should not be filled, otherwise it may not burn.

After pouring gasoline into all three bottles, Wang Tao added some of the things he had scavenged from the small restaurant to each Molotov Cocktail.

He added White Sugar to the first Molotov Cocktail to prolong the burning time.

He added Flour to the second Molotov Cocktail to make the burning temperature higher.

He added Laundry Detergent to the third Molotov Cocktail to increase the stickiness...

Finally, he tried to seal the bottle mouths as much as possible, and then stuffed a piece of cloth in as a fuse.

In this way, three simple Molotov Cocktails were made - oh no, there's still a problem, he must wipe the bottles clean!

When he poured gasoline into the bottles just now, some gasoline spilled on the bottles. If he didn't wipe it clean, he would get burned himself.

With everything ready, Wang Tao took a deep breath, picked up all the equipment he could carry, including the pistol, and then got out of the car and walked towards the Terror Zombie.

The effect of the Stealth Potion on him was still in effect, and as long as he didn't get too close to the Zombies, he would basically not attract their attention.

After arriving about ten meters away from the Terror, Wang Tao stopped.

This Terror was similar to the one he had encountered before, both were more than two meters tall and burly, wearing overalls, and holding Reinforced Concrete Hammers.

However, this Terror felt more ferocious, and its Health Bar was also much longer.

[1200/1200]

It was estimated that its strength might be stronger.

But it didn't matter whether it was strong or not.

After all, Wang Tao didn't plan to have a fair duel this time.

After carefully observing the surroundings, Wang Tao took a fancy to an old-fashioned two-story building.

This small building was right under the sun. If he stood on it, and the Terror wanted to attack him, it would definitely be facing the sun!

The door of the small building was locked. Looking through the broken glass of the security window, he could see that it looked like there had been a big battle inside, with blood stains everywhere. And the door was blocked with a lot of furniture - picking the lock was useless.

He glanced at the outer wall of the building again. The windows and other things were protruding, and there were many places to climb.

Without saying a word, Wang Tao picked up his things and started climbing the wall.

A few minutes later, Wang Tao climbed to the roof of the second floor.

Looking at the Terror not far away, Wang Tao was a little eager to try, but he didn't attack immediately. Instead, he took out a long rope.

This rope was in the pickup truck and was very strong.

He tied one end of the rope to the railing on the roof and threw the other end down.

After making sure everything was ready, Wang Tao took a deep breath. Then, he grabbed a few bricks and threw them at the Terror in the distance.

Pa, pa, pa—

His accuracy in throwing bricks wasn't great; only one brick hit the Terror.

"Roar—"

After being hit, the Terror immediately turned around, but it didn't see who had thrown the brick.

After all, Wang Tao still had the effect of the Stealth Potion on him, preventing it from smelling his scent.

So, Wang Tao threw a few more bricks, deliberately using the sound to guide it.

The Terror indeed followed the sound and came over. When it reached the bottom of the building, it looked up at Wang Tao on the roof with some confusion, but because the sunlight was too dazzling, it subconsciously used its hand to shield its eyes.

At this moment, Wang Tao soaked the fuse cloth of the Molotov Cocktail with gasoline and then lit the lighter.

Watching the Molotov Cocktail being lit, Wang Tao threw it at the Terror below.

Pa—

Perfectly, the first Molotov Cocktail hit the Terror's head.

Boom—

Instantly, a large fire appeared, engulfing the Terror. A string of numbers popped up above its head.

[-53] [-52] [-55]

Wang Tao on the second floor roof was pushed back a step by the heatwave.

"Roar—"

Scorched by the flames, the Terror Zombie let out an angry roar.

It finally discovered Wang Tao on the roof. Although it didn't know why the Zombie on the roof was attacking it and even setting fires... it just needed to get the job done.

The Terror in the flames raised its hammer and smashed it against the building.

Bang! With a loud noise and a circle of Shockwave, Wang Tao felt the small building shake.

"Damn it!"

Watching the Terror smash a large hole in the building with one hammer, exposing the red bricks inside, Wang Tao was a little dumbfounded.

This kind of old brick wall structure felt like it couldn't withstand the opponent's smashing! And such a loud noise would attract many Zombies! "No, I have to make a quick decision!"

Wang Tao had originally planned to slowly use the remaining Molotov Cocktails to exhaust it to death, but now he was forced to change his mind.

After packing up his things, Wang Tao directly grabbed the rope and rappelled down from the roof.

The Terror in the sea of fire had been burned beyond recognition, but it still had the strength to hammer the wall. It seemed to still be able to see Wang Tao. It directly hammered the ground, the hammer missed, but the Shockwave hit Wang Tao.

[-82]

Wang Tao felt a sweetness in his throat. He endured the pain and flipped over, quickly taking out two pistols and pulling the trigger at the Terror.

Bang, bang, bang—

After the gunshots rang out, all kinds of eerie roars immediately came from the street.

Wang Tao's expression remained unchanged as he continued to pull the trigger.

When several

[-300]

numbers popped up above the Terror's head, it instantly fell to the ground.

Wang Tao braved the fire and rushed over, using the Claw Hammer to pry out a red, transparent Crystal Core from the Terror's head. He also collected the loot and then ran away.

Rumble—

No sooner had Wang Tao left than a group of zombies arrived.

The group of zombies saw Wang Tao from a distance, but they didn't chase after him intensely. In their eyes, Wang Tao was one of their own.

"Phew—"

Wang Tao ran while patting the sparks on his body.

He ran all the way to the car, and seeing that no zombies were chasing him, Wang Tao took a deep breath.

He quickly started the car and glanced at the loot in his Space Backpack.
