Wang Tao sized up Yang Changhong, his gaze somewhat unrestrained.

Yang Changhong instantly felt a wave of goosebumps.

When she thought Wang Tao was a Level 1 ability user, her attitude toward Wang Tao was somewhat arrogant; she naturally felt superior. That’s why she didn’t mind Wang Tao’s scrutinizing gaze before.

But now, having realized that Wang Tao might be stronger than her, that sense of psychological advantage was gone. Feeling Wang Tao’s scanning gaze again, she suddenly felt as if she had been stripped bare…

“Cough, as long as it’s within my power… you can’t be too unreasonable!”

Yang Changhong shifted her gaze away somewhat awkwardly.

“I definitely won’t make it difficult for you. But I haven’t decided yet. I’ll tell you when I have.”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

“…”

After Yang Changhong left, Wang Tao also returned to the vehicle to sleep.

The space inside the vehicle was large, and he and Jiang Shixue didn’t feel crowded at all when lying together. However, Jiang Shixue liked to snuggle up to Wang Tao, and soon she had burrowed into his arms.

Wang Tao felt somewhat helpless; he could only look but not touch. In hindsight, he might as well have gone to sleep in the tent with Xu Xiaojun—it was torture.

…

The night passed uneventfully.

In the morning, Wang Tao parted ways with the convoy.

Upon hearing that Wang Tao was going to hunt down those Level 2 Zombies, the other survivors were somewhat worried, but they didn’t say much, after all, Wang Tao was strong.

Yang Changhong said she would wait for Wang Tao for three days. If Wang Tao didn’t return within three days, they would have to depart, as it wasn’t feasible to wait indefinitely.

Wang Tao said it wasn’t a problem, a day if quick, two to three if slow, but he would definitely be back.

The place Yang Changhong mentioned was inside a small reservoir. She had discovered it a few days earlier while passing by.

Wang Tao checked the map and found the location of this reservoir.

If he drove straight there, it might only be an hour’s journey. But the road was likely not going to be smooth, so Wang Tao gave himself the morning to reach it.

However, today it seemed he was quite lucky, for although he encountered many zombies on the way, including a small group of Mad Demon Zombies, he resolved them all quite easily. He even picked up several Crystal Cores along the way.

The athleticwear zombie from yesterday had increased Wang Tao’s HP by 690, and the zombies today had added another 60 HP. So, Wang Tao’s HP had now reached [15200/15200].

He was halfway to Level 3’s threshold of 30,000 HP!

“I hope this reservoir will bring me a pleasant surprise…”

…

This was an abandoned reservoir, empty of water, and overrun with weeds.

Yang Changhong had said that the Level 2 Zombies she saw were on the periphery of the reservoir. Wang Tao drove around the reservoir, and besides a few Ordinary Zombies, he found no sign of any Level 2 Zombies.

Yang Changhong clearly had no reason to lie to him. Either the zombies had moved on, or they were inside the reservoir— the weeds there were too tall, taller than a person, and if there were zombies hidden inside, Wang Tao would not be able to see them.

“Should we go down there?”

Xu Xiaojun scratched his head, looking at the weeds below.

He felt that going down like this was too dangerous, not knowing where the zombies might be, but if Wang Tao asked him to go, he wouldn’t refuse.

Wang Tao, looking at the vast expanse of weeds, suddenly had an idea.

“Let’s not go down yet. First, let’s clear the area around the reservoir.”

The surroundings of the reservoir were enclosed with concrete, so no grass could grow there. The weeds were in the reservoir itself and around the perimeter.

The three of them quickly cleared the area to ensure the inside and outside of the reservoir were completely separated. Then Wang Tao took out a can of gasoline from the car.

The gasoline was included with the car, and Yang Changhong had been generous. After giving the car to Wang Tao, she left the gasoline for him as well.

“I hope you are inside, or it would be a waste of my gasoline…”

Wang Tao grinned.

Xu Xiaojun also knew Wang Tao’s intentions at that moment and his eyes widened.

Man, setting such a big fire!

Quite thrilling!

The reservoir was not large, being a micro reservoir. But even small, it still covered a certain area. If he were to light the inside weeds on fire, it would be a massive blaze!

Wang Tao was actually afraid that the fire would be too intense and spread to himself, so he checked and cleared the surroundings meticulously, making sure there were no other inflammable materials around and that the fire would be contained within the reservoir area.

There was a light breeze today, and after testing the wind direction with a strip of cloth, Wang Tao moved the car to the upwind side.

He then carried the gasoline can, splashing the gasoline over the weeds in the reservoir.

Gurgle gurgle—

Finally, Wang Tao lit the cloth in his hand and tossed the burning strip into the reservoir.

Whoosh—

Instantly, a great fire soared into the sky.

Wang Tao and the other two instinctively stepped back.

“Alright, let’s watch closely. If any zombies appear, call me immediately.”

Wang Tao took out his bow and arrows and said.

“Sure~”

“Yes!”

The weeds were not dried, and they contained a good amount of moisture, so huge plumes of smoke billowed up once the fire caught.

“If this were before the apocalypse, I’d probably be sitting in jail for this…”

Wang Tao felt his breathing becoming rapid; the oxygen around him was decreasing, and the heat wave was hitting him. He couldn’t take it anymore, and quickly led the two back several more steps.

In the past, he only saw big fires on the news, with many casualties, but he never experienced how terrifying a big fire could be. But today, he felt the power of a blaze that was suffocating even on the outskirts; the center could only be imagined.

“Roar—”

A few minutes later, Wang Tao heard a roar from inside the reservoir.

“There really are zombies! That doesn’t sound like the voice of an ordinary Level 1 Zombie!”

Moments later, the roars increased in number.

“Quick, look where they are!”

Wang Tao, fighting the discomfort, forced himself to move a few steps forward.

“There!”

Suddenly, Jiang Shixue pointed to a spot.

Wang Tao quickly looked and spotted a zombie in the flames.

[1398/7000]

Whoosh—

An arrow flew out, accurately piercing its eye socket.

[-1398]

[0/7000]

Level 2 Zombie, HP depleted.
