Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1558 - 653: The Uses of the Transparent Fish

After the Giant Zombie died, the Transparent Fish seemed to suddenly lose their target, dropping off the Giant Zombie one after another. They crowded together, appearing extremely chaotic.

The Transparent Fish in the water no longer flew toward the shore; instead, they circled around in a somewhat confused manner before diving into the depths and disappearing.

"Huh?"

Wang Tao was quite surprised upon witnessing this scene.

When the Giant Zombie died, the Transparent Fish in the water ceased their attack and simply left? They completely ignored the Transparent Fish on the shore. Meanwhile, the Transparent Fish on the shore didn’t feed on the Giant Zombie but seemed unable to locate the rift, leaving them trapped on land...

Wang Tao didn’t fully understand what was happening with these Transparent Fish, but now wasn’t the time to delve into it. He immediately flew back to the Golden Eagle, glanced at Qu Shilin beside him, and said:

"What do you think? There’s a lot of living Transparent Fish this time..."

"Capture them! Capture them all!"

Qu Shilin’s eyes glimmered with excitement.

Although Transparent Fish couldn’t be eaten and seemed to hold little value, they were of significant research value to their laboratory! Now that there were so many Transparent Fish here, and all of them alive, they definitely couldn’t let the opportunity slip.

However, considering the formidable strength of these Transparent Fish, Wang Tao had struggled quite a bit the last time he encountered them. Capturing all of them might pose risks to Wang Tao. Thus, Qu Shilin quickly added:

"No need to catch them all; just capture some of them. As for the rest, we can still eliminate them..."

"Haha, don’t worry, it’s no big deal."

Wang Tao chuckled and directed the Golden Eagle forward.

Though the Transparent Fish were strong, their greatest strength lay in their overwhelming numbers. It was the seemingly infinite swarms of Transparent Fish that truly terrified people. However, the number of Transparent Fish on the shore now, while substantial, couldn’t be considered endless; most importantly, the fish in the water had already departed, leaving them without reinforcements.

Without the advantage of numbers, the fish on land couldn’t leap and fly as they did in water. Wang Tao could clearly see their blood bars... Therefore, they no longer posed a significant threat to Wang Tao, perhaps even none at all. Capturing these harmless creatures wouldn’t be much of a problem.

Indeed, things progressed as Wang Tao had predicted. Without reinforcements and unable to fly, the Transparent Fish were now simply ordinary Sixth-Rank Elite Monsters, entirely incapable of contending with Wang Tao and his group of Sixth-Rank Awakeners.

Soon enough, they captured the living Transparent Fish and collected the corpses of the dead ones. These were all valuable research subjects not to be wasted.

Wang Tao also picked up all the spoils dropped by the Giant Zombie without examining them closely for now.

Qu Shilin held a dead Transparent Fish in each hand and used [Memory Search] to carefully investigate their brains. After thoroughly examining them, she approached the Giant Zombie’s corpse.

"What a spectacular sight..."

This was also the first time Qu Shilin had observed a Giant Zombie up close. Despite its collapsed state, the massive zombie retained an extraordinary presence. Excitedly, Qu Shilin conducted a [Memory Search] on the Giant Zombie as well. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

By this point, the main force had already eradicated the Zombie Tide and was making their way over.

If not for Wang Tao, they would certainly be excited right now, having defeated a Zombie Tide. But now, aside from excitement, they were filled with admiration—admiration for Wang Tao’s ability to overcome Sixth Rank Lords and the Giant Zombie.

They had witnessed the commotion of the recent battle, though not from close proximity for its entirety. Sharing accounts among themselves and comparing different perspectives, they’d pieced together the general story.

The conclusion was simple: Wang Tao was undoubtedly the top figure at Changhe Base, his power utterly terrifying!

Initially, they’d considered assisting Wang Tao after slaying the Zombie Tide, but now it seemed that merely avoiding being a burden to him was the best they could manage.

Of course, they were deeply intrigued by the Giant Zombie. Without seeing it firsthand, it was hard to imagine a zombie achieving such monstrous proportions.

Wang Tao flew over to the First Legion Commander to confirm casualty numbers. After verifying the casualty rate was low, he nodded and said:

"Begin cleaning up the battlefield, then take a proper rest..."

As he spoke, Wang Tao casually surveyed the group.

Noticing their blood bars had increased significantly, Wang Tao felt very satisfied.

The primary purpose of bringing them out this time was to elevate their blood bars to the maximum limit, facilitating their future Awakening.

Having dealt with this Zombie Tide, their overall HP had risen significantly, with many individuals now reaching one million HP.

Wang Tao thought another round of Zombie Tide clearing should suffice. Fortunately, there were plenty of Zombie Tides around, so they didn’t need to worry about running out of zombies. However, having gone through a major battle, rest was necessary. They would resume clearing zombies tomorrow.

By the time all the Crystal Cores from the two battlefields had been gathered, it was already evening. Tents were pitched, and they decided to spend the night outdoors rather than return to base. Early the next morning, they would continue hunting zombies.

Inside the largest tent, Wang Tao looked at Qu Shilin.

"After scavenging the memories of the Giant Zombie and all these Transparent Fish, did you discover anything?"

"Definitely!" Qu Shilin’s face lit up with a smile. She organized her thoughts, then began explaining what she’d seen, using her own words to piece it together: "Here’s the thing..."
