Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot Chapter 360 – Monster Manual_1

Chapter 360: Chapter 171 Monster Manual_1

This guidebook is divided into four sections.

They are zombies, monsters, plants, and ability users.

It is much more detailed than the previous Zombie Guide, which probably means many people have been updating it. Wang Tao also wanted to contribute, considering he had seen many things. Unfortunately, he could not get in touch with them.

In the Zombie Guide section, apart from the Night Demon, there was also an update with a lot of other zombies. Whether Wang Tao had seen them or not, they were all there.

Wang Tao silently memorized this information about the zombies, to make it easier to deal with them if he encountered them in the future.

Then Wang Tao turned to the Monster Manual section.

“Monster” refers to creatures other than humans, zombies, and plants.

Monsters were subdivided into three categories.

The first category was ordinary mutant beasts, such as animals that had become larger or bloodthirsty and frenzied. The big fish that Wang Tao had previously caught belonged to this type.

The second category was mutant beasts with abilities. Some animals not only became bloodthirsty and frenzied, but they also possessed special abilities! These monsters were even more dangerous than zombies. However, they were rare; Wang Tao had not seen any so far.

The third category was mysterious monsters. These were things that resembled neither any animal nor any plant, and didn’t even seem like living creatures… such as a cloud or a rock. These unidentified monsters were all called mysterious monsters.

Despite their odd appearances, these monsters were incredibly strong.

You either didn’t encounter them, but if you did, it usually meant death, a rare chance of survival.

However, their numbers were very sparse, and so far, there were no records of them being killed. Therefore, the detailed information about these mysterious monsters was unclear… They all seemed like they weren’t from Earth.

Wang Tao thought of the Black Mist Monster in Shuize County, which could induce hallucinations and was terribly powerful—clearly, it was one of the mysterious monsters mentioned here.

Wang Tao felt that the pressure from the Black Mist Monster, with its 30,000 HP, was even greater than that of the Blue Night Demon with 50,000 HP!

About the monsters, the guide also stated valuable information—that these monsters were different from zombies, as they were also afraid of the zombie virus!

Thus, these monsters usually moved in the wild and did not enter cities, because there were too many zombies in the cities.

Wang Tao had previously wondered why the Black Mist Monster in Shuize County stayed in the wilderness rather than going into the county city. It turned out it was also afraid of the zombie virus! No wonder internal impurity was listed amongst the attributes of the Black Mist Monster.

However, this posed a significant problem for human survivors. Zombies were inside the cities, monsters were outside… choosing a location for the Survivor Base was a dilemma.

The plant section introduced many mutant plants, which studies showed had evolved due to a particular type of acid rain.

This special acid rain could cause these plants to wither, but those that survived would mutate!

Currently, it seems that these plants were unconscious, but even without consciousness, they were very dangerous!

For example, some man-eating flowers had grown very large, and now they ate not only insects but also humans and zombies!

Unlike humans and monsters, plants were not afraid of the zombie virus, so the plants in the cities grew wildly. Conversely, the plants in the wild seemed more like normal plants… Researchers also did not understand why this was.

Lastly was the section on ability users.

This section mainly provided information about ability users and crystal cores, much of which Wang Tao already knew.

For instance, ability users reached a bottleneck after killing a certain number of zombies and needed Ascension crystal cores; after ascension, ability users could delete one of their abilities or pass it on to someone else…

As for information related to crystal cores, Wang Tao knew far more details than the guidebook provided.

That’s because the specific functions and side effects of the Fusion Crystal Core could only be known after its fusion. The fusion required human and time resources, and then it needed experimentation over and over… it was a troublesome process.

But Wang Tao didn’t need to, he only had to glance to know the detailed information about a crystal core…

Although this information was not very useful to Wang Tao, it was still very precious to others. At times, it could even save lives!

After reading all this information, Wang Tao considered it quite a fruitful effort.

The only pity was the guidebook gave off an official, matter-of-fact tone throughout. It did not reveal any other type of information.

For example, it said nothing about the current situation in the country, how the large Survivor Bases were doing, or what was happening inside the military bases… nothing at all.

Normally, people would report good news and not bad. But this didn’t even contain good news… this made Wang Tao quite pessimistic about the outside world.

“Perhaps… it’s time to visit a military base.”

Wang Tao had initially planned to go to the large Survivor Base in Zijing City, if it had survived until now.

But now he reconsidered. If he continued southwest from Zijing City, he would reach Wuyang City, the capital of Wuyang Province, where the military base was located.

Since he was almost at Zijing City, it might be better to travel a bit further to the military base.

After all, if the military base could still airdrop supplies, it meant that the place was very safe. Plus, with the many weapons and strong forces inside the military base, it was clearly a good destination. They probably wouldn’t refuse civilians looking for refuge…

“That’s settled, then. I’ll head to Wuyang Military Base!”

Wang Tao had decided on his next course of action.

Then he looked at the map again. To get to Wuyang Military Base, it was closer from Zijing City, so he didn’t need to change direction; he could continue along the previously planned route.
