Apocalypse: I Can See the Health Bar, Kill Monsters and Drop Treasures Chapter 311

Chapter 311 Iron Beetle

 The matter of customizing the prosthetic limbs went more smoothly than Wang Tao expected, and he didn't even have to spend any money.

“Lao Xiang, after we move to our new home, I will take you to the Hope Research Institute. You must cooperate well!”

Wang Tao patted Xiang Hongbin on the shoulder and said sincerely.

“I suddenly felt that wearing this ordinary prosthetic leg would be pretty good...”

 Xiang Hongbin spoke weakly. ,

"Um?"

Wang Tao has never seen Xiang Hongbin like this. It is said that he was impassioned when he died.

"Didn't you say before that you would rather die standing than live on your knees? You said that if you become a disabled person, it will be no different from dying..."

Wang Tao frowned.

“Well, that was before. Now I see it. Sometimes it's good to be a useless person. Anyway, you guys protect me...”

 Xiang Hongbin spoke unnaturally.

"Lao Xiang, this is not your character! Would you say such a thing?"

Wang Tao looked surprised.

 “People always change. This is normal!”

　　Turns his gaze towards Hong Bin's one eye, not daring to look at Wang Tao.

“That's not right!” Wang Tao shook his head. “The Lao Xiang I know is not like this! Are you... afraid?”

Hearing this, Xiang Hongbin was furious and turned to glare at Wang Tao.

 “What do you mean by being afraid! Even if I go to Xiang Hongbin to die, I won't even blink an eyebrow!”

 “Then why don't you dare to go there?”

　　“Heh, I just don't want to trouble others!”

Xiang Hongbin is still arrogant.

 “No trouble, no trouble at all!”

Qu Shilin suddenly interrupted.

“…It's just custom-made a prosthetic limb. If it's not a big deal, just go for it!”

Seemingly unable to refuse, Xiang Hongbin had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

 It's not that he is timid, but when he made eye contact with Qu Shilin just now, he felt like his hair was trembling! His many years of combat experience told him that it was very dangerous...

Wang Tao nodded with satisfaction when he saw Xiang Hongbin agreed.

  He knew that Xiang Hongbin was very concerned about disability, especially since he was still a combatant fighting on the front line. This level of disability is no different than killing him.

When everyone gets stronger and stronger in the future, but Xiang Hongbin is still standing still or even regressing, Wang Tao will not be surprised if he commits suicide one day.

 So if there is an opportunity to restore Xiang Hongbin's combat effectiveness, Wang Tao will definitely try his best!

“Lao Xiang, don't worry, you'll be fine!”

Wang Tao patted Xiang Hongbin on the shoulder.

“…How about you ask Lightning to go over and accompany me?”

 Xiang Hongbin suddenly said.

"no!"

Wang Tao immediately touched Lightning's dog's head.

Xiang Hongbin is like this. To put it bluntly, he is like a broken jar. But lightning is very good. We can't let lightning fall into the hands of this woman!

Moreover, if Qu Shilin really has any bad thoughts, it would be very dangerous to send lightning into her hands. But Xiang Hongbin is different, this is a living person! As long as she's not stupid, she knows what to do.

Xiang Hongbin was speechless when he saw Wang Tao's decisive refusal. Wang Tao really knew everything.

Qu Shilin came to the two of them and said with a serious face:

"I want to study him, because this is the first time I have seen an example of someone who was injured to this extent but did not die. Moreover, he is also a soldier and has strong willpower, so he just happens to be my experimental subject! Don't worry, he will definitely do it. living!"

 Qu Shilin promised that Xiang Hongbin was alive, but the problem was that Xiang Hongbin was alive and well now... And while she was talking, she subconsciously touched the pliers, electric drill and other tools.

“Ms. Qu, don't explain, we believe you!”

Wang Tao quickly interrupted. If she keeps talking, Xiang Hongbin may really give up.

 At this time, Gu Yun came over with an agreement.

“Mr. Wang, take a look at it. If you confirm that there is no problem, please sign.”

 The content of the agreement is naturally about opening meteorites.

There are a total of 100 fourth-level meteorites here, and they are planning to open all 100 meteorites. If it can't be finished today, it will probably take a few more days. After all, everyone wants to know what is in it.

Then there is the issue of the specific funding ratio - City Hall produces both crystal cores and meteorites; others only produce meteorites; and Wang Tao only produces crystal cores.

Wang Tao told Cui Sheng before that he could take out a crystal core for each meteorite. But Wang Tao didn't expect that there would be 100 fourth-order crystal energy star meteorites here...

“Mr. Wang, are you sure you don't want to change the investment amount?”

Gu Yun asked very thoughtfully.

 It is too difficult for one person to take out 100 fourth-order crystal cores!

Even leaders of big forces like Zid cannot take it out. After all, they are now cooperating with the city hall, obviously to save money...

Gu Yun didn't look down on Wang Tao, but he felt that Wang Tao couldn't get it out.

Of course, it's his fault for not making this clear. The main reason is that he himself didn't expect that they would get together and get 100 meteorites directly, and this was the first batch...

 So he felt that if Wang Tao wanted to change his mind, he could change his mind and do so according to his ability.

However, Wang Tao waved his hand.

“No need, just 100 fourth-order crystal nuclei.”

Gu Yun looked at Wang Tao with some surprise and uncertainty, could he really take it out?

 100 fourth-order crystal nuclei! This means that Wang Tao killed 100 fourth-level zombies, and most of them were lord zombies!

 Because the fourth-level elite zombies appeared after the rain, and Wang Tao happened to come to Changhe Base at that time. Even if he encountered level four elite zombies at that time, he couldn't kill too many. After all, they didn't stay outside for long and entered the base quickly.

 After they arrived at the base, the fourth-level elite zombies outside basically merged into the large zombie wave.

Facing the zombie tide composed of a large number of fourth-level lords and fourth-level elites, even the six legions with abundant firepower did not dare to act rashly. They all tried their best to seduce and slowly eat away...

 So the current fourth-order crystal nuclei are still difficult to obtain.

If Wang Tao has 100 fourth-order crystal nuclei in his hand, it means that he has killed many fourth-order lords!

Gu Yun had some doubts about the authenticity of Wang Tao's words, not only because of Wang Tao's strength, but also because there were really so many fourth-order lords to kill for him?

Wang Tao was speechless after seeing Gu Yun's distrustful eyes.

 One hundred fourth-order crystals...he really has them!

To be precise, he still has 130 fourth-order crystal nuclei left.

 After all, when he kills a lord zombie, he can explode a lot of crystal cores.

But Wang Tao didn't plan to take out all these fourth-order crystal nuclei, because some of his crystal nuclei either had superpowers or were special crystal nuclei. It would be too wasteful to use these crystal nuclei to open meteorites, and he couldn't bear to do it.

However, there are 30 crystal cores that have no superpowers. When I came to Changhe Base before, I encountered the last wave of zombies. There were many fourth-level elite zombies blocking the road. Wang Tao got them by killing those elite zombies. .

Wang Tao waved to Nie Siyan who was not far away.

Nie Siyan quickly walked over with a small box and opened it in front of Gu Yun. There are 20 white and blue fourth-level crystal nuclei with no powers neatly placed inside.

 This was prepared by Wang Tao in advance. He originally thought that 20 crystal cores would be enough. There are still 10 pieces left that are of purple quality or above and are in Wang Tao's space backpack.

Gu Yun's eyes lit up after seeing these 20 crystal nuclei.

 Although there are only 20 pieces, this can also illustrate Wang Tao's strength. As for these crystal cores having no powers, Gu Yun was not surprised. Basically, the crystal nuclei prepared by their city hall were all without powers.

 This should be the crystal core that Wang Tao obtained by killing the fourth-level elite zombies when he was on the way to Changhe Base. The fourth-level elite zombies at that time had only appeared not long ago, and they were still relatively easy to kill. It will be difficult to kill those elite zombies after they merge with the fourth-level lords...

"Take these 20 fourth-order crystal cores first. I still have 10 high-quality fourth-order crystal cores in my hand. If these 30 are used up..."

Wang Tao looked at Gu Yun and said with a smile.

 “You lend me some money, or I ask you for a loan.”

Since Wang Tao doesn't want to take his own crystal nuclei with special powers, he can only borrow them from other places. He felt there must be one at City Hall.

Gu Yun was speechless.

The City Hall does have a crystal core. After all, the City Hall is the official official of the Changhe Base. All taxes in the base are collected by the City Hall. Many organizations are also under the City Hall, such as Changhe Bank... so they have money.

Gu Yun was speechless because if Wang Tao hadn't displayed these 20 fourth-order crystal nuclei first, he would have been suspected of being a white wolf. But Wang Tao took out these fourth-order crystal nuclei and proved his strength. This is equivalent to telling Gu Yun: Lend me the crystal core, I can afford it.

"Then follow Changhe Bank's rules for VIP customers. Our city hall will lend you 70 low-quality fourth-order crystal cores. If you can pay them back within seven days, there will be no interest. If you can't pay them back, you will have to pay them. Pay a certain percentage of interest...but this crystal core can only be used to open meteorites, and will be kept by me..."

Gu Yun was afraid that Wang Tao would run away with the money.

Although he thinks the probability is very low, after all, Wang Tao is a fourth-level superpower. It would be too low to run away with such a small amount of money, but the so-called rules are rules, and they must be made clear first.

 “Haha! OK!”

Wang Tao laughed.

 He just wanted to see if he could borrow the crystal core by virtue of his status as a fourth-level superpower. If you can borrow the best one, don't bother. If he can't borrow it, he can only borrow other things as collateral. He still has many good things in his hands.

But now it seems that just because of his status as an awakened person, he can still borrow the crystal core.

Wang Tao and Gu Yun signed another supplementary loan agreement.

 After confirming that both agreements are fine, you can finally get started!

 Because there may be monsters inside the meteorites, these meteorites must be taken out. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if monsters are released and the equipment inside is destroyed.

These equipments are from the Hope Research Institute. They moved some equipment out in order to study the contents of meteorites nearby.

“Try the water first with 10 meteorites.”

Gu Yun took ten meteorites and led everyone out of the tent to an open space semi-surrounded by the army.

 The surrounding heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, vehicle-mounted machine guns, tank main guns, howitzers... all kinds of firepower were aimed at this open space.

If a monster appears here, it will probably be beaten directly into a sieve.

 “I can't wait!”

Zide rubbed his hands, his eyes filled with excitement.

The same goes for everyone else. After they picked up these meteorites, they didn't even have time to open them, and they were still very curious about what was inside.

The 10 crystal energy star meteorites picked by Gu Yun are numbered 1 to 10 respectively.

 Meteorites No. 1 and 2 are basically the same size, and both can be opened with two crystal nuclei. No. 3 and No. 4 also have similar appearances and require four crystal cores to open. No. 5 and No. 6 require six crystal cores to open... No. 9 and No. 10 require ten crystal cores to open.

 After everyone was ready, Gu Yun looked at everyone.

 “Who will open it?”

 He himself has only been promoted to the third level not long ago, and is the weakest among everyone. If any monsters were to appear, it might be dangerous...

Not only him, but several other third-level superpowers also shook their heads. Including Qu Shilin, who is very interested in meteorites. After all, life is the most important.

 Everyone looked at the four awakened ones.

"I come."

Wang Tao spoke directly.

 The other three awakened people were somewhat moved, but also a little worried. After all, no one knows what is inside.

The monsters are actually not bad. According to what the bald man said before, the monsters inside are not meant to be attacked when opened. The monsters also have an expansion time, which is enough time for them to react.

 What they worry about is that there are other dangers. For example, if there is something unpredictable like poisonous gas inside, then even if they are awakened people, it will be difficult to hide.

 But Wang Tao is not afraid, after all, he can see the attributes.

After Gu Yun saw no one objected, he handed over the crystal core and meteorites No. 1 and 2 to Wang Tao.

 “Then I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, please be sure to pay attention to your safety.”

 Everyone else stepped back some distance. Wang Tao asked Xiang Hongbin and the others to lead Lightning away.

Then Wang Tao looked at the two energy star meteorites.

These two are about the size of a basketball, and both are of white quality, which means they require two fourth-order crystal cores to open.

Since the two meteorites were relatively similar, Gu Yun and the others prepared to conduct a comparative experiment that was not very rigorous. The four crystal nuclei prepared are two epic crystal nuclei and two ordinary crystal nuclei. Epic crystal cores are very precious, but they have no special powers, so they can be used for testing.

 Epic crystal cores open the No. 1 meteorite, and ordinary crystal cores open the No. 2 meteorite. Then look at the differences inside.

Although this experiment is not rigorous, as long as similar experiments are repeated enough, some problems can still be discovered.

For example, if the things produced with epic cores are generally better, or the monsters produced are stronger, then it can basically be determined that the quality of the core will affect the things inside.

Wang Tao picked up two epic crystal cores and placed them in the grooves on the No. 1 Crystal Energy Star meteorite.

 The crystal nucleus emits a faint orange light, and the meteorite breaks.

 Then a palm-sized black shadow suddenly emerged from the meteorite.

 “It's a monster the first time? No—”

Wang Tao subconsciously wanted to avoid it, and the people not far away also had serious expressions on their faces and were ready to fight.

But Wang Tao discovered that this thing was not a monster, so he grabbed it!

 It's cold when you get it.

At this moment, everyone saw that what Wang Tao was holding was something that looked like a beetle.

 “Mr. Wang, are you okay?”

Gu Yun shouted.

 Monsters are generally large in size, but this does not mean that there are also small ones. So everyone was a little surprised when they saw Wang Tao grabbing the "bug" directly with his hands.

 If this thing is poisonous or something, Wang Tao will be in trouble.

 “I'm fine, we were lucky, we got something good the first time.”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

Seeing that Wang Tao seemed to be fine, everyone quickly gathered around him.

Wang Tao put down the thing in his hand. It was a palm-sized black beetle. It didn't move much after being caught by Wang Tao.

 【Fourth level weapon·Iron beetle】

 【HP: 10000/10000 (upper limit 100000)】

  【Status: Awakenable】

 【Amplification: independent attack, armed (needs to consume a fourth-level Zerg corpse to activate)】

  【Fitness: 0%】

  【Independent attack: You can follow the master's orders to attack alone】

  【Armed: Covers the owner's whole body and provides a certain attribute increase】

 This is a level 4 weapon!

But this is somewhat different from the weapons Wang Tao has seen before.

The first weapon he saw was entangled tree roots. The enhancement provided by entangled tree roots was to add some attributes to Wang Tao when worn on his body. Although the entangled tree roots are of the third level and can no longer provide much help to Wang Tao, they are still worn on Wang Tao's wrist.

Later, Wang Tao encountered the Iron Tree Vine. The increase provided by the vine was splitting and independent attack. This weapon is very useful. Although it is a third-level weapon, it gives Wang Tao a few more arms, so Wang Tao still uses it now.

 Then there is the Night Demon Type I. This kind of weapon can only attack independently, which is equivalent to Wang Tao bringing a thug.

 Finally, there is the Bloody Chainsaw, which provides a boost of "cutting", a pure attack ability.

 Now, the increase provided by this iron beetle is independent attack and arming. It's hard to say whether the independent attack is strong or not, but this weapon should obviously be of the same type as the one wrapped around tree roots, which is equivalent to a set of biological armor!

 The entangled tree roots before provided Wang Tao with a lot of help, giving Wang Tao the capital to challenge the next level!

 So Wang Tao still likes this type of weapon.

But what is this "Zerg"? Could it be the cockroach monster that I killed before?

"This is…"

Everyone is a little confused.

This shouldn't be a monster, otherwise Wang Tao would definitely be attacked. But it is indeed a bug...it can't be an ordinary bug, right?

Gu Yun and the others have obviously never seen this thing. Maybe they have seen it, but they don't know what it is, so they missed it.

"This thing... I call it a 'weapon'."

Wang Tao said with a smile.

 “Weapon? Is it a weapon?”

After Shang Heng saw that Wang Tao was fine, he touched the insect in Wang Tao's hand with some curiosity. But the other party didn't react, as if he was dead.

 Qu Shilin, who had been silent for the whole time, his eyes lit up. A small box suddenly appeared in her hand, containing various instruments of torture, oh no, tools.
