Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 1657: 698 The Bishop's Madness

Chapter 1657: Chapter 698 The Bishop’s Madness

“The apocalypse within the end times…”

Wang Tao furrowed his brows.

This phrase… seems quite fitting.

It’s been almost two years since the apocalypse descended, yet humanity has not become extinct, thanks to its tenacious life energy. But if these destruction-level monsters appear on a large scale now, humans might really be unable to hold on. After all, even Wang Tao can’t defeat them, let alone others…

And just as Wang Tao was speaking with the Bishop, the whale monster in the distance was almost out of sight, as all he could see was murky water!

Countless buildings were swept away by the flood, and a large number of zombies fell into the water, their blood bars quickly dropping to zero! This is not ordinary water; it’s toxic!

Fortunately, the whale monster was quite far from the Dusk Church. Plus, the terrain here is relatively high, so this flood isn’t reaching the church for now.

“Is it coming our way?”

The Bishop asked nervously. Although the flood wasn’t coming their way, if the whale monster actively came over, the flood would naturally be brought over by it. That would spell big trouble for the Dusk Church!

“No, it’s heading south.”

Wang Tao flew into the sky, took a look, shook his head, and replied.

Although the whale monster was momentarily out of sight, Wang Tao could see the flood was flowing south, and the Dusk Church was to the north.

“Phew— That’s good! As long as there’s no immediate problem…”

The Bishop breathed a sigh of relief.

He had set the headquarters here primarily for the cool temperatures by the sea, not having to worry about the heat. But now, even by the sea wasn’t habitable… The Bishop suddenly turned his gaze to Wang Tao.

“We need to do something…”

“Hmm? Do what?”

Wang Tao was a bit puzzled.

Facing such destruction-level monsters, Wang Tao didn’t have much of a solution, at most just waiting for them to be near death to finish them off… So he was very curious about what the Bishop intended to do.

The Bishop looked very serious and said:

“You’re already at the seventh level and can fly, moving freely. Those monsters can’t hurt you for the time being… So, why don’t you go search for that ‘power that destroys everything’? As long as we find it, we might still have a chance!”

“I don’t mind looking for it, treating a dead horse as if it’s alive, but could you at least tell me what exactly it is?”

Wang Tao was somewhat speechless.

At this point, the Bishop was still being secretive.

“It’s not that I’m not telling you; it’s that I don’t know what it precisely looks like. I only know that it’s even stronger than these destruction-level monsters! Anyway, once you see it, you’ll immediately understand that’s what we’re looking for!”

The Bishop was a bit helpless. It wasn’t that he was deceiving Wang Tao; he genuinely didn’t know what the thing looked like.

“Why do you know this?”

Wang Tao suddenly asked.

He wasn’t sure if what the Bishop said was true or false. Wang Tao felt that he was hiding something, but the overall idea didn’t seem deceitful.

If what the Bishop said was true, then why would someone who’s merely a sixth rank awakened know so much?

Wang Tao was very curious about this; the Bishop was a bit too mysterious.

“Everyone has their own sources of information. What I know, you might not be aware of, and vice versa. It’s very normal. We’re helping each other, after all. I haven’t deceived you, considering we’re all in the same boat right now…”

The Bishop was obviously reluctant to explain.

Wang Tao didn’t press further, pondering for a moment and said, “Alright. And then? If we find it, what do you intend to do next?”

“Once you find it, you must inform me immediately, and then just follow my lead! Although I’m not very confident, given the current situation, we must at least try!”

The Bishop gritted his teeth, a look of having nothing to lose, but he still didn’t mention the most crucial aspect.

“I mean, what are you going to do?”

Wang Tao narrowed his eyes, fixating on the Bishop.

“What are you planning!”

The Bishop suddenly retreated, looking at Wang Tao with a face full of vigilance. He sensed a kind of malevolent look in Wang Tao’s eyes, and so resolutely stated:

“Only I know the precise operation method. If I were to tell you now, what if you leave me behind and ignore the fate of our Dusk Church? Then what should I do? Anyway, I won’t say it!”

“Haha, the more you won’t say, the more curious I become…”

Before Wang Tao could finish his words, the Bishop suddenly disappeared in a flash before him, reappearing over twenty meters away. He was running straight towards the Dusk Church’s base without looking back. He knew he couldn’t defeat Wang Tao, since Wang Tao was already at the seventh level, but he could run. Inside his base, he had many escape routes prepared; once he got back, he ensured Wang Tao couldn’t catch him.

But just as he was about to dive into the tunnel entrance he came out from earlier, Wang Tao, somehow, was already standing in front of him.

The Bishop instantly felt as if he couldn’t move, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

Wang Tao smiled warmly, looking at the Bishop.

“You can’t escape.”

Unable to handle you, a mere sixth-rank awakener, when I can’t deal with a seventh-level destruction-level monster?

The Bishop, after trying and confirming he couldn’t leave, stopped struggling and sighed:

“Give up hope, I won’t say anything, it’s my last trump card. Even if you kill me, I won’t tell.”

Wang Tao could sense that the Bishop was truly unwilling to speak, with a very firm belief. Even under torture, he might not say anything. Because the Bishop understood clearly that as long as he kept his silence, Wang Tao probably wouldn’t kill him; but if he did speak, it might be a different story.
