Chapter 196: Chapter 195: No, Perhaps Contemplating Life is More Valuable

Zhang Yanhang looked up at the dusky sky of Raccoon City and felt, for the first time, that the surface of Raccoon City was actually quite wonderful.

But returning to the surface was only temporary since he had already cleared the sewers, his next target for clean-up was naturally the Raccoon City division of the Umbrella Company, which meant he was soon to return to the underground section of Raccoon City.

Fortunately, compared to the dark and deep sewers with few monsters, the Raccoon City division of the Umbrella Company was undoubtedly much friendlier. Not only was it smaller in size, but there were also fewer monsters, just over two hundred. He was confident he could clear them out within an hour.

Currently, there were seven and a half hours left until the Transmission Channel closed, so there was still plenty of time.

Although Zhang Yanhang could have taken the sewer route directly to the Umbrella Company’s Raccoon City division, traveling through the sewers was too troublesome, so he chose to go from the normal surface route to the division.

Compared to the sewers underneath Raccoon City, Zhang Yanhang was more familiar with the surface of the city. After all, he had worked hard here for over a hundred hours and had reached the point where he would not get lost even without using Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil.

Because he was on the surface of Raccoon City, Zhang Yanhang traveled in a straight line and quickly arrived at the core area he was familiar with, the police station.

But this trip to the police station was different from before. Previously, he came to the police station to search for supplies of guns and ammunition, but this time, he was here to thoroughly clear the last remaining area in Raccoon City.

Zhang Yanhang estimated that it would take him only about several tens of minutes to clear the entire Umbrella Corporation’s Raccoon City division, and then he might take a short rest before he would immediately start the battle with the Lord Monster Tracker.

Standing at the secret passage inside the police station leading to the Umbrella Corporation’s Raccoon City division, Zhang Yanhang suddenly felt a little "empty."

This "emptiness" primarily came from excessive consumption of Physical Strength; his Stamina limit could only sustain over two hours of cleaning, and now, he had already used up a lot of Physical Strength, and it was nearly at rock bottom.

However, there was no way Zhang Yanhang would stop now, and he did not want to rest. So to maintain abundant Physical Strength for the upcoming cleaning, Zhang Yanhang chose to take medicine.

Although he had rarely used it before, Zhang Yanhang had long figured out the correct use of Green Medicine Grass. While its main effect was to restore Life Value, it had another effect that was very important to Zhang Yanhang, which was to speed up the Physical Value recovery rate.

Based on Zhang Yanhang’s own experiments, the effect of speeding up the Physical Value recovery rate was actually stackable. Although a single Medicinal Herb only increased the Physical Recovery Speed by a small amount, a dozen Medicinal Herbs together were quite substantial.

It could even allow Zhang Yanhang to maintain a rising state of Physical Strength, while continually using Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil.

Although Zhang Yanhang had not counted carefully, so far, he had obtained almost eight hundred White Treasure Boxes from Ordinary zombies. Each White Treasure Box from an Ordinary zombie yielded three herbs, and the odds of getting Green Medicine Grass or Red Medicine Herb were about fifty-fifty.

So, Zhang Yanhang had already collected more than a thousand Green Medicine Grass. Even if those Green Medicine Grass turned into Red and Green Pills were discarded, Zhang Yanhang still had over a thousand strands of Green Medicine Grass.

Therefore, standing in the secret passage leading to the Umbrella Corporation’s Raccoon City division, Zhang Yanhang did not hesitate to pull out a large handful of Green Medicine Grass from his Waist Bag, about several dozens of them.

While a dozen strands of Green Medicine Grass could offset the Skill consumption from Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, and that’s with Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil activated at the highest range of Perception, Zhang Yanhang still found the recovery speed a bit slow.

Zhang Yanhang started to chew the Green Medicine Grass in big bites; this time, he planned to eat the whole handful of Green Medicine Grass, which should allow him to completely recover the Physical Strength he spent cleaning the sewers in a very short time.

Even though he was wasting the Life Value recovery effect of the Green Medicine Grass, what better time to use it than now? After all, Zhang Yanhang typically doesn’t get hurt, so for him, the most significant value of the Green Medicine Grass was speeding up the Physical Strength recovery, rather than the negligible effect it had on restoring Life Value.

Zhang Yanhang had hoarded so much Green Medicine Grass, over a thousand strands, so now eating a few dozen was no big deal.

Besides, if his Rank continued to increase later on, he figured he would soon stop using these Green Quality Medicinal Herbs anyway. So, Zhang Yanhang didn’t feel the slightest pity about using up the Green Medicine Grass.

After finishing the large handful of Green Medicine Grass, Zhang Yanhang stood still and felt the Physical Recovery Speed for a moment. How to put it, after stacking several dozen Buffs related to Physical Recovery, he felt his Physical Strength rapidly returning.

At this current recovery rate, he could restore the Physical Strength that would usually take an hour of sleep to recover in just one minute.

Therefore, in a few minutes, Zhang Yanhang’s Physical Strength would be back in perfect shape.

"Consuming several dozen strands of Green Quality Medicinal Herbs in one go, the effect is indeed very significant," Zhang Yanhang was quite satisfied with the current recovery speed.

But he did not plan to wait until his Physical Strength was fully restored before starting to hunt monsters. He was ready to start the final cleanup plan now since combat wouldn’t affect the recovery of Physical Strength.

Thinking this, Zhang Yanhang immediately entered the Umbrella Corporation’s Raccoon City division through the secret passage. This time, besides wanting to clear out the monsters inside, he was mainly curious to see if there were any good things in the Umbrella Corporation’s Raccoon City division.

For example, large-caliber machine guns or something like T-virus Enhancing Potion.

As the developer of the T-virus, Zhang Yanhang thought it would only make sense if there really were T-virus Enhancing Potions in the Umbrella Corporation, even though such things had never appeared in the games. But this was Ashen World, not a game.

If he could really find it, Zhang Yanhang might be able to resolve that remaining bit of his incomplete Agility attribute value.
