Chapter 520: Chapter 224 Zombie Mother_2
But upon reflection, he realized that although he had sensed this place several times through his Plant Affinity Ability, he had never actively entered it.
Could he have overlooked something?
After he and Jiang Shixue entered the park, they explored cautiously and slowly.
About an hour later, Wang Tao looked puzzled.
“Why is there nothing at all?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He and Jiang Shixue both felt that something was not quite right here, as there wasn’t a single zombie to be found!
Even though many zombies had been lured away by the General and his forces, the park was still massive in size, so how could there not be even a single Level 1 Ordinary zombie? This was clearly not normal!
After searching for over an hour, however, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue found nothing…
Moreover, Wang Tao’s Plant Affinity Ability couldn’t possibly be fake, could it? He had sensed the area multiple times with this ability, and it seemed like there really was nothing unusual here.
“Little Xue, is there anywhere we haven’t searched yet?”
Wang Tao asked Jiang Shixue, who was standing beside him.
Jiang Shixue tilted her head to think, then pointed toward the artificial lake next to the park:
“The only place near the park we haven’t searched is the lake.”
“The lake?”
Wang Tao frowned.
The sports center had a large artificial lake, located by the south gate of the stadium, next to the park, and several other buildings.
Wang Tao had walked over a bridge on the artificial lake when he had entered the stadium before.
And Wang Tao had previously… subconsciously ignored this place!
“Let’s go take a look!”
Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue went to the lakefront. The lake water was very murky, and nothing could be seen clearly.
“There might be a problem here…”
Wang Tao frowned, suspecting that the problem might lie within the lake. But he dared not enter the turbid waters, as who knew what was beneath.
After thinking it through, Wang Tao caught several Ordinary zombies and threw them into the lake.
Plop~
The zombies struggled on the surface briefly before slowly sinking into the lake.
Wang Tao waited for a while, but there was no movement in the lake.
Then he took out some large dried fish from his Magical Stomach Pouch and threw several big pieces into the lake.
A moment later.
Gurgle~
Suddenly, bubbles began to rise from the turbid waters!
“There’s definitely something down there!”
Afterward, Wang Tao threw in some chunks of meat and other such things, but the water just gurgled and bubbled without anything coming out.
And since the water was too murky, Wang Tao didn’t dare to go down…
The situation was at a stalemate.
“I don’t believe this, I must get you out today!”
At noon, Wang Tao returned to the building.
He found the three women that Nie Siyan had saved.
“I need fresh blood…”
“…”
All three women were somewhat afraid, as Wang Tao’s words gave them a feeling that they might be murdered.
The first woman saved by Nie Siyan timidly spoke up:
“Mr. Wang, I am willing to donate blood! But if it’s too much, I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it…”
She was very grateful for Nie Siyan’s lifesaving grace and was willing to do something within her capability.
“I don’t need much, it won’t cost you your life.”
Wang Tao brought over two plastic bottles, and suddenly a Surgeon’s Knife appeared in his hand.
“…”
The woman suddenly regretted her decision; she thought Wang Tao would use a needle, but instead, he directly used a knife… That meant a lot of blood would be taken!
But it was too late for regrets, so she simply rolled up her sleeve, extended her wrist, closed her eyes, and presented herself like a lamb to the slaughter.
The other two women sneaked glances at her, looking somewhat happy about her misfortune.
After disinfecting the woman’s arm with medicines from the medical kit, Wang Tao made a cut over her vein.
The woman’s body shook, but she still didn’t dare to open her eyes.
The Surgical Knife was very sharp, so the pain wasn’t much—at least not at that moment. It was just that the thought of it was terrifying, and she kept feeling like she might bleed to death…
Wang Tao, of course, wouldn’t let her bleed to death. He watched carefully and, feeling it was enough, suddenly squeezed the woman’s arm.
“Mm~”
The woman moaned, not from pain but from fright.
Wang Tao quickly took out the medical kit and stopped her from bleeding.
It wasn’t until he had bandaged her wound with bandages and told her it was okay that the woman opened her eyes with a pale face.
“Thanks, when Lan Yulian comes later, have her treat your wounds,” Wang Tao said, while taking out a Red Crystal Core and putting it in her hand, “This is for you.”
Seeing the Level 2 Ascension Crystal Core of red quality in her hand, the woman was stunned.
“A Red Level Two Ascension Crystal Core?”
She was only Level 1, and a Level 2 Ascension Crystal Core was exactly what she needed most right now, not to mention a red one!
“Thank you!”
Belatedly, she hastily expressed her thanks, but only Wang Tao’s retreating figure was in sight.
The other two women looked on in astonishment, followed by envy and regret.
If only they had known that donating a little blood would get them a Red Level 2 Ascension Crystal Core, they would surely have rushed to offer their help!
…
Wang Tao, holding the fresh blood, returned to the artificial lake.
Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan had also been called by him, but Wang Tao told the two to wait at a distance and wait for Wang Tao’s instruction.
“I refuse to believe you won’t come out!”
Wang Tao directly spilled the fresh blood into the lake.
Gurgle~
As expected, the murky lake water began to boil.
A moment later.
Whoosh—
A rotten, gaping mouth suddenly rose to the surface, swallowing all the fresh blood in one gulp!
The mouth was less than a meter away from Wang Tao, who could smell the rotten stench.
Well-prepared, Wang Tao immediately covered his body with Entangling Roots, turning into a “tree root monster,” and then he grabbed the upper and lower jaws of the gaping mouth and pulled it towards the shore!
