Apocalypse: I Can See the Health Bar, Kill Monsters and Drop Treasures Chapter 318

Chapter 318 Everyone has their own agenda

"What is this!"

"monster?"

 “What a scary feeling!”

“Biological version of power armor?”

　　After seeing Wang Tao armed with iron beetles, everyone exclaimed.

Even Gu Yun, who was mentally prepared, was stunned.

He also said before that he hoped that the armored beetle's armed ability would be more low-key, but now...seeing this six-meter-tall and ferocious figure, it's hard to keep a low profile!

He can even imagine that rumors about this "monster" will soon start to spread in Changhe Base!

"This is what you have always wanted to hide... An awakened person plus this thing, how powerful it must be!"

 Zide muttered to himself.

Although Wang Tao was just standing here and did not show any combat power, the sense of the superpower user is very keen. He can feel that he basically has no chance of winning against Wang Tao in this state!

Huang Wu and Zhou Long also felt the same way. They felt that they were no match for Wang Tao. They even felt that it was hard to say whether the three of them could defeat Wang Tao together...

After everyone was shocked, there was a burst of excitement.

Wang Tao can use this iron beetle, so they can too!

If Wang Tao were replaced by them, wouldn't they be so strong!

Although this iron beetle belongs to the city hall and Wang Tao, and will most likely be given to the city hall in the end, the iron beetle was created from a meteorite from outside the sky, and they still have so many meteorites to open! They also have a chance to get Iron Beetles!

At this time, Wang Tao inside the Iron Beetle was carefully feeling the increase brought to him by the Iron Beetle.

The buff given to him by the Iron Beetle is indeed good, but not as strong as others imagined.

 Because the upper limit of the combat effectiveness of this kind of weapon worn on the body depends on the user.

This iron beetle increases physical fitness in disguise, and Wang Tao's physical fitness is already strong, but he has a feeling of returning to nature, which is not easy for others to perceive. But after being armed by the Iron Beetle, it was equivalent to revealing his hidden physical qualities.

His physical fitness plus the Iron Beetle's own attributes, the combined aura is terrifying.

 For Wang Tao, the biggest improvement of this iron beetle is not in terms of attack.

Wang Tao's current strongest attack abilities are Catching Fire and Fireball, but both of them are not affected by the Iron Scarab.

And Wang Tao feels that he cannot release [Catching Fire] while the armored beetle is armed, otherwise the iron beetle may be burned to death by him...

His entangled tree roots also have fire-resistant properties. He almost burned the entangled tree roots to death during the previous test, let alone this iron beetle that has no fire-resistant properties...

 The biggest improvement that the iron beetle can give Wang Tao is his health, defense and size.

  【150000/150000（50000/50000）】

Wang Tao's total blood volume after wearing the iron beetle is 200,000!

 This blood volume should be considered exaggerated among the human survivors.

And this iron beetle has not yet reached the upper limit, it is only 50,000 now. If you use 50 fourth-order crystal nuclei to nourish it, it will be stronger with 100,000 health.

As for the defense, Wang Tao doesn't know how high it is yet, but based on the appearance of the iron beetle and the feeling Wang Tao wears on it, he knows it will definitely not be low.

Finally, it's the size. Wang Tao is now 6 meters tall, which is 1 meter higher than the 5 meters he used to trigger his violent rage!

His body after the violent rage was enlarged proportionally, and it still looked like a human body. But now after arming this iron beetle, it has completely become a ferocious monster! The visual pressure is much stronger!

Although some zombies and monsters are more than 6 meters tall, they are only a small part. Most zombies are still about the same size as humans.

If Wang Tao goes to the zombies like this, he is the monster!

 The increase in size means that Wang Tao's attack range is wider. Just reach out and squish a lot of zombies. A casual kick can make many zombies fall apart... The combat advantage brought by this size is still very obvious!

However, getting bigger is not all advantages, there are still disadvantages.

 First of all, this size is too obvious. Whether it is among the crowd or among the zombies, it stands out from the crowd, and it is easy to be attacked by focused fire. Secondly, he is unable to use his own weapons. Wang Tao's weapons damage is not low...

 Then Wang Tao briefly tested it. Although the iron beetle and entangled tree roots both armed themselves, there were still certain differences.

To put it simply, wrapping around tree roots is like Wang Tao wearing a piece of clothing. It has no effect on Wang Tao's movements and is very flexible, like an arm. Moreover, the shape of the entangled tree roots changes according to Wang Tao's body shape, so Wang Tao will not feel out of place.

 But the Iron Beetle is different. The Iron Beetle is like a car. It is such a large size and will not change. Its flexibility is not as good as that of entangled tree roots, and there is even a slight delay in its control!

 The reason why there is a delay is related to the characteristics of weapons. Because weapons are alive, when Wang Tao uses weapons, most of the time he is giving orders to the weapons, and then the weapons execute the orders.

 Although this is all communicated through the conscious level, the delay will be very low, but no matter how low it is, there is still time. So when he used the Iron Beetle, he always felt there was a slight delay...

 For ordinary people, this delay is definitely not felt, but for people with keen perception like Wang Tao, it is still relatively obvious.

 There is basically no such delay for entangled tree roots, because in many cases, Wang Tao does not need to give orders to entangled tree roots. The entangled tree roots are his clothes. He does not need to be entangled with the tree roots to move. He just needs to move with the entangled tree roots. It can fight on its own instinct.

For example, if Wang Tao was attacked by surprise, he might have already blocked the attack before his mind could react. This is the instinct of fighting.

The Iron Beetle won't work, it's too big and heavy. If Wang Tao did not give orders to the Iron Beetle, it would be equivalent to a car without a driving computer. It would be unable to move. Even if it could move, it would be forcibly dragged by Wang Tao.

Just now he heard someone say that the Iron Beetle is the biological version of power armor. Wang Tao thought he was right.

Of course, most things will have shortcomings. As long as its advantages outweigh the disadvantages, it is a good thing. The advantages of this iron beetle obviously far outweigh the disadvantages, and some disadvantages are only felt by Wang Tao...

Wang Tao walked around the area wearing an iron beetle and became more and more familiar with the iron beetle.

 The current appearance of the iron beetle can be divided into two parts, one is the body and the other is the shell.

 The body is hands, feet and a head. It just looks a little more ferocious.

 The key point is this shell. Wang Tao feels that the defense of this shell should be quite high. During combat, you can use this shell as a shield!

Maybe it's because of its large size and weight. The attributes of this iron beetle do not have a negative gain that reduces speed, but in fact it still affects the speed a bit. But this is a small problem, you just need to get used to it.

 Finally, Wang Tao's perspective is a bit refreshing—he himself is tall and everyone else is a dwarf. It feels like it can crush a field of dwarfs to death with one foot...

Wang Tao actually wanted to test his defense and actual combat capabilities the most, but it was obviously not suitable now.

 After studying for a while, Wang Tao finally disarmed the armored beetle.

The iron beetle squirmed and deformed for a while, and then quickly began to shrink. Wang Tao's figure appeared.

 Then the iron beetle became the size of a palm and fell into Wang Tao's hands.

"This should be enough, right? We can't show the specific combat effectiveness, we have to fight in actual combat."

 Wang Tao was also the first to come into contact with this iron beetle. If he tried to spar with them, it would be bad if he didn't injure someone lightly or seriously. The specific combat effectiveness still needs to be tested in actual combat.

No one said anything. They looked at Wang Tao as if they were looking at a monster. No, to be precise, their eyes were all on the iron beetle in Wang Tao's hand.

 They were all very excited and excited.

This "weapon" is beyond their knowledge, but it doesn't matter, this is not an enemy, but a tool to assist them!

If you have this kind of weapon, unless you encounter an enemy of level 4 or above or a particularly powerful level 4, wouldn't it be possible to walk sideways under normal circumstances?

 “This is a 'weapon'!”

 “That's awesome! I want it too!”

“After being armed by the iron beetle, you will definitely have the strongest combat power of level four!”

"for you."

Wang Tao didn't think much and threw the iron beetle directly to Gu Yun.

Gu Yun quickly stretched out his hand.

At this moment, Gu Yun clearly felt several extremely dangerous eyes falling on his back!

He held his breath and stared at the iron beetle thrown by Wang Tao, but his ears were already perked and he was ready to draw his gun to defend himself at any time.

 He had never felt this second last so long.

 The iron beetle finally fell into Gu Yun's hands.

That kind of murderous gaze is like reality at this time!

Gu Yun squeezed the iron beetle tightly and resisted the urge to draw his gun.

 Suddenly, this feeling of danger disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared. Everything just seemed to be an illusion, but the cold sweat on Gu Yun's back told him that it was all true.

Gu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was calm, as if he hadn't discovered anything. He even smiled at Wang Tao and said:

  "Mr. Wang, how do you feel? How is the growth rate of this iron beetle?"    Wang Tao looked at Gu Yun with some surprise, and then nodded.

 “I feel very good, the increase is... very strong.”

 Wang Tao felt the turmoil at this moment very clearly.

　　When he threw the iron beetle at Gu Yun, except for Qu Shilin and Shang Heng, everyone else looked at Gu Yun with naked murderous intent!

They seemed to be telling Gu Yun: I'm going to kill you and take away your iron beetle!

 In the situation just now, Wang Tao thought that Zhou Long and others were going to take action, and Wang Tao also thought that Gu Yun was going to counterattack in advance. It was impossible for Gu Yun not to feel that kind of killing intent.

 But the result surprised Wang Tao. Zhou Long and the others did not take action or even take a step forward. Gu Yun didn't fight back, and even chatted and laughed with Wang Tao, as if he didn't feel anything.

Wang Tao thought about it for a moment and probably understood what was going on -

Others deliberately showed murderous intent, and the purpose was to force Gu Yun to take action first!

If Gu Yun chooses to strike first because of fear, then Gu Yun will be finished.

His strength is inherently the weakest, and he cannot defeat others. And as long as he takes action first, he will be unreasonable and others will have reason to attack him!

But as long as he doesn't take action, if others want to attack him first, they have to think carefully.

 After all, Gu Yun represents the city hall and the entire Changhe base. And there is Shang Heng's Fourth Army Corps here to help out. The Army Corps and the City Hall must be standing together.

Unless Zhou Long and the others no longer plan to hang out at the Changhe base, and are sure to attack the Fourth Legion without fear of being hunted down by other legions in the future - this is obviously not worth it. So it's impossible for them to take action.

 But that being said, they are not fools. How can they not know the consequences? Are they prepared? Is it even possible that Shang Heng was bribed by them?

 And the most important point is that an environment like this in the last days can easily drive people crazy! Who can guarantee whether they are a lunatic? What if he just wants to kill people and seize treasures without considering any consequences?

If this is really the case, then Gu Yun will die if he attacks later, but there is still a possibility of survival if he attacks first!

 So at this moment, Gu Yun was under great pressure!

 As long as he fails to hold back, there may be another result.

 Fortunately, he endured it.

 Facts have proved that his bet was right, even if the other party was an awakened person, he would not dare to take action easily. It's not that I'm afraid of him, but I don't want to be the enemy of the entire Changhe Base.

As for whether Zhou Long and others would offend the city hall by doing this, Wang Tao's answer is - no.

 Because they haven't done anything!

 To put it bluntly, they just glanced at Gu Yun, that's all.

If Gu Yun can't bear the pressure and takes action first, then they will immediately fight back to achieve their goals.

If Gu Yun can hold it back... then he can hold it back. They lost nothing anyway.

Gu Yun bet his own life, and Gu Yun won the bet. They just took a look and it didn't matter whether they won or lost - no, they wouldn't lose at all, they would either win or draw.

The reason why there is such a difference between Gu Yun and others is very simple, just two words - strength.

Gu Yun's strength comes from the city hall, and their strength comes from themselves!

As long as they can ensure that their strength can easily crush Gu Yun, then they will be invincible!

 So ultimately, the strength of one's own strength is the root of everything. In the apocalypse, strength is king!

If Gu Yun was a fifth-level superpower user, then it would be Zhou Long and the others who are sweating now...

After thinking about this, Wang Tao looked at Gu Yun with admiration.

 There is no easy person who can become the secretary-general of the city hall. Even if his own strength is weaker, he is not weak at all in other aspects.

If it were Wang Tao facing this situation...Wang Tao would definitely not take action first. But Wang Tao was not gambling with his own life, but based on his self-confidence in his own strength - he was sure to fight back.

And Wang Tao suddenly thought that since he, an outsider, could see these problems, Shang Heng, the deputy commander of the Fourth Army Corps who was very familiar with this place, must have discovered it! But he said nothing.

Logically speaking, the Fourth Army Corps is where Gu Yun's confidence lies. They should be in the same group, right?

Wang Tao maliciously speculated, is this Shang Heng also waiting for an opportunity?

For example, Gu Yun took action first, and Zhou Long and the others were "forced" to fight back, killing Gu Yun and taking away the iron beetle. Then Shang Heng randomly found any reason or crime and led the army to kill Zhou Long and the others. Then wouldn't this iron beetle fall into the hands of the Fourth Army?

It is impossible for three level four superpowers to defeat such a powerful firepower of the Fourth Legion. Even if this is only part of the combat power of the Fourth Legion, it is not something they can block.

Wang Tao shook his head.

 Except for himself and Qu Shilin, everyone here has their own agenda!

Wang Tao glanced at Qu Shilin subconsciously, and Qu Shilin happened to look over as well.

 After the two made eye contact, it suddenly dawned on him or her that he (she) also understood.

 “This iron beetle is so powerful!”

Zhou Long walked over with a look of amazement on his face. He looked at the iron beetle in Gu Yun's hand as if nothing had happened.

 “It's really amazing, it's the first time I've seen such a magical thing!”

Gu Yun opened his mouth with a smile, and there was nothing unusual about it either.

Then Gu Yun asked as if he thought of something:

“By the way, Mr. Wang, can I use the armored beetle's armed ability?”

Gu Yun suddenly thought that if he could use this iron beetle, wouldn't it be equivalent to having fourth-level combat power?

"Of course." Wang Tao nodded first, and then said with some uncertainty, "But I don't know how much its strength will be reduced if you use it. Because the improvement brought by this iron beetle has a certain relationship with the user."

 “Then let me try?”

Gu Yun was a little eager to give it a try.

 “Okay, I also want to see what's going on.”

Wang Tao nodded. Then teach Gu Yun how to use the iron beetle.

 Weapons are bound to the owner. If the weapon is not unbound, the owner can also use it for other people, but the full effect will not be exerted.

The Iron Beetle is currently bound to Wang Tao. If you want to bind it to another person, you have to wait until it goes back to sleep and then wakes up.

Wang Tao didn't know how long it took for the Iron Beetle to sleep, so he put the Iron Beetle into the space backpack while no one was paying attention, and then took it out instantly. At this time, the iron beetle is in a sleeping state.

After some operations, the Iron Beetle successfully bound Gu Yun.

 In the blink of an eye, Gu Yun turned into a six-meter-tall monster. That horrible sense of oppression strikes again!

However, after turning into a monster, the monster's eyes with a faint yellow light suddenly glanced at Zhou Long and the others.

brush-

 Zhou Long subconsciously took a step back.

"Ah-"

There seemed to be a chuckle from the Iron Beetle, and then he left here and went to the open space to do some activities.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifier

Zhou Long looked a little embarrassed, but soon changed his expression to a smiling one, and came to Wang Tao to ask Wang Tao about the iron beetle. The others also listened attentively.

Wang Tao only briefly talked about his experience of using it, and didn't say much about other things. He couldn't say much because many things can only be known after actual use.

Gu Yun came back after walking around for a while.

 After leaving the iron beetle, his face glowed red.

"Very strong! I feel like I have level 4 combat power when I wear it! Real level 4 combat power!"

Gu Yun laughed and spoke.

When everyone heard this, they were very envious.

Gu Yun is already a level 4 armored beetle. If a level 4 superpower wears it, he will definitely have peak level 4 combat power!

Gu Yun did not put the iron beetle into the box this time, but directly put it in his pocket.

Then he quietly told Wang Tao that after he put on the iron beetle, the fit was only 50%. He could see the other 50% of the fit, but it was as if it was sealed and could not be used...

 This is obviously different from entangling tree roots. When Wang Tao first used the entangled tree roots, he was at the second level, and he was still able to increase the fit of the third-level entangled tree roots to 100%.

Wang Tao doesn't know whether this is simply a difference between an iron beetle and a tree root, or whether the fourth-level weapon is different from the third-level weapon. He thinks it's most likely the latter.

 After all, the gap between level 4 and level 3 is too big. Just like many level 4 equipment require awakening energy, people at level 3 cannot exert the full strength of level 4 equipment. It seems reasonable that third-level superpowers cannot exert the strength of fourth-level weapons...

Gu Yun said to Wang Tao again:

“Mr. Wang, it's getting late. Please continue driving the meteorites. Once these two meteorites are opened, our mission for today will be completed.”
