Apocalypse: I Can See the Health Bar, Kill Monsters and Drop Treasures Chapter 340

Chapter 340: Entering the City Interlude

 “I am Wang Tao…”

 Looking at this large series of messages, Wang Tao first replied to Duan Xuchang.

Duan Xuchang's voice came back quickly.

"Wang Tao? I knew you were fine! You have been missing for more than half a month...I will look for you later!"

The two briefly chatted for a few words. Faced with Duan Xuchang's concern, Wang Tao said that he was trapped.

Then Wang Tao replied to Gu Yun, Secretary General of the City Hall.

 He was a little worried about whether he would be removed from the list and whether his small villa would be taken back. After all, he had only lived there for a few days.

 Fortunately, this did not happen.

“Mr. Wang, I thought... just come back! As for the house, you don't have to worry at all. As long as the death of the person is not completely confirmed, it will be kept permanently..."

After chatting with Gu Yun for a few words, Wang Tao took the initiative to end the conversation and replied to Qu Shilin.

“Ms. Qu, I'm fine. I've brought back the mushrooms you asked for. I hope it's not too late.”

As soon as the message was sent out, Qu Shilin replied.

"God! You are finally back. I thought... about the mushroom cave, I really didn't know it was so dangerous there. I didn't mean to trick you. Fortunately, you are okay... Captain Cheng Yiyi and the others are back, but it's too late See you back soon..."

 Qu Shilin talked a lot, and Wang Tao probably understood some of the situation from her words.

After Cheng Yiyi and others returned, they publicized the killing of the disaster-level snake. This matter must be publicized, not only for the reputation of their power, but also to enhance the confidence of the residents of Changhe Base.

 So, the Spark Club participating in the battle is considered popular.

It was only then that Qu Shilin realized that the place he called the Mushroom Cave actually contained such terrifying disaster-level creatures!

At that time, Qu Shilin wanted to go out and see the big snake, but she heard that people should not be left near the snake's body, as they would die if left for too long! Moreover, the body of the big snake is already the private property of the Spark Club. It is illegal to study it without the permission of the Spark Club... So Qu Shilin did not go. She was going to wait for Wang Tao to come back and ask what was going on.

 As a result, after waiting for more than half a month, there was no news about Wang Tao.

Since the Sixth Legion did not announce the details of the battle with the black snake, Qu Shilin did not know how Wang Tao encountered the snake. She thought Wang Tao was attacked by a big snake while picking mushrooms, so she felt very guilty.

So, just a week after Wang Tao lost news, she hired a team to go out and search.

As a result, before the team arrived, they saw a terrifying giant eagle far away. The team was so scared that they didn't want any money and ran back quickly.

When Qu Shilin received this news, she felt that Wang Tao and his party might be in serious danger.

Now that she heard that Wang Tao was back alive, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“It's not just me, the Sixth Legion also seems to have sent people to look for you. It was also because I encountered a giant eagle that I didn't dare to go any further..."

Wang Tao felt a little warm in his heart when he heard that someone cared about him and even sent someone out to look for him.

“Okay, let's talk later. I'll reply to their messages first…”

Wang Tao replied to Cheng Yiyi's message again.

 A moment later, a message from Cheng Yiyi also came.

“Mr. Wang, it's good that you're okay. I did send someone to look for you before. After all, if you are really gone, I will save a lot of money, haha...”

 You can tell that Cheng Yiyi's tone is quite happy. Publicly and privately, she didn't want anything to happen to Wang Tao, the awakened person, or Lan Yulian, the super nanny. Such talents were so rare.

Wang Tao had a brief chat with her, and then Wang Tao got a rather unexpected news.

“Mr. Wang Tao, we don't have enough funds at the moment, so I transferred part of the crystal coins to you, and I plan to offset the other part with meteorites. What do you think?”

“Huh? Use meteorites? Don't you use them yourself?”

Wang Tao is a little strange.

Meteorite is a good thing. You couldn't buy it with money before, and the price was very high. Why are meteorites suddenly being used to pay off the debt now?

 “Ahem, that's it…”

After Cheng Yiyi's explanation, Wang Tao probably understood what was going on—

 In more than half a month, various forces in the base have opened a large number of meteorites, but many people have lost money. And they found that it was less cost-effective to open the meteorite than to buy the finished product!

For example, someone took a fancy to something and planned to use meteorites to open it, but ended up spending 1 million without opening it. But someone opened it and sold it for only 500,000...

 So, why do we spend so much money on something that can obviously be solved with 500,000 yuan!

Some rational people decide not to open meteorites, or spend money to buy them!

 Even the money from selling the meteorites can buy the needed finished products.

 Cheng Yiyi is obviously this kind of rational person. Of course, her lack of funds is also one aspect. The Sixth Legion is not only the weakest among the six legions, but also the poorest.

 For Wang Tao, he needs meteorites. There is no way, if you are lucky you can do whatever you want!

So, Wang Tao agreed to Cheng Yiyi's plan, and even said that he could return the crystal coins that Cheng Yiyi had transferred and exchange them for meteorites!

Cheng Yiyi was immediately overjoyed. After repeatedly confirming that Wang Tao was serious, she said that she would personally deliver the meteorite to Wang Tao's home soon.

 After discussing this small business, it was finally the turn of Wang Tao and others to go into the city for inspection. Wang Tao ended the call.

　　It is afternoon now, the sun is about to set, it is the peak time for entering the city, and the inspection is also cumbersome, so the queue time is a little longer.

Logically speaking, the inspection of Wang Tao and his party should be quick. After all, they are led by the Awakened One. But during the actual inspection, something went wrong...

 Inspectors need to check blind spots inside and outside the car to see if there are any zombies hiding.

 In the end, no zombies were found, but five **** snakes were found!

Who can understand that when they thought this was just a routine inspection, they saw such a group of terrifying snakes spitting snakes at themselves!

The undisguised fourth-level aura on Black Snake's body is simply unbearable for ordinary people like them!

The inspectors in white protective suits were stiff, their faces turned pale, and they slumped to the ground.

Seeing this situation, Wang Tao slapped his forehead. He forgot to mention in advance that there was a snake in the car.

  The inspectors were not too scared when they saw the military dog ​​Lightning. Because Lightning was registered at the base, he was a dog with a serious status. The information in the base system is clearly written. Lightning is a military dog ​​with a good personality and does not bite people randomly.

Of course, the most important point is that when Nie Siyan submitted the identity list, she stated in advance that there was lightning in the car, but she did not mention the five black snakes.

Wang Tao has been replying to messages just now and forgot about this.

 Xiaohei and the others are serious fourth-level creatures, and these inspectors are ordinary people who don't even have 1,000 blood.

 The aura of mutated beasts is inherently stronger than that of humans, and they are not like lightning that can hide their aura.

　　When Wang Tao encountered the black fog monster for the first time, he was so frightened that he could hardly walk, let alone them.

The movements of these inspectors instantly alerted the city defense troops standing guard.

"what happened?"

The people in this city defense team all had guns, but they didn't dare to point their guns at Wang Tao and the others.

 They felt a little bitter in their hearts.

Just after Wang Tao's identity information was registered, they received a prompt—there is a fourth-level superpower in this team!

Could it be that someone has angered this boss?

 “Ahem, there's a little misunderstanding.”

Wang Tao waved.

Then I saw a **** snake as big as a bowl crawling out of the car, followed by several similar big snakes!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies

 “This is...a fourth- or fourth-level creature?!”

 The soldiers were shocked.

The city defense troops are not inspectors. They have at least level one strength and have received professional training, so they will not be intimidated.

And their experience told them that these big snakes seemed to be... fourth-level creatures!

“I forgot to register their information, which caused the staff to be frightened. I am very sorry for causing trouble to everyone...”

Wang Tao stroked Xiao Hei's head.

The captain of the city defense army organized his speech and said:

“Mr. Wang, is this... your new team member?”

Wang Tao nodded.

"So be it. I picked them up outside and they are very obedient. Don't worry."

Hearing Wang Tao's words, the city defense army team was amazed and at the same time, they were all complaining crazily in their hearts.

 Pick it up?

 This is the fourth level! Fourth level!

How can you say it so lightly!

But as long as we make sure that these terrifying snakes were brought back by Wang Tao on his own initiative and not sneaked in by car, then there will be no problem.

 “Please register...”

 The captain of the city defense army brought a tablet computer and asked Wang Tao to write down the characteristics, names, and relationships of these black snakes.

Registration is equivalent to having a temporary identity. Next time you see this kind of snake, you can at least find out its origin and won't be so scared.

 The inspectors have been carried away.

 “Are they all okay?”

Wang Tao asked.

“Don't worry, Mr. Wang, they are fine. They can just rest and rest. You don't have to worry!”

 The captain of the city defense army shook his head quickly. Those few people were just frightened and were not substantially harmed.

 Let's go back to the city hall and give them a vacation and some mental compensation.

"That's good."

Wang Tao nodded and quickly filled out the registration information.

After confirming that there was no problem, Wang Tao waved his hand to the captain of the city defense army.

“You are busy, so I will go back first.”

"Okay, Mr. Wang, walk slowly!" After Wang Tao and his party left, the city defense commander immediately ordered his men:

“Hurry up and report! Just say that Mr. Wang Tao is back with five fourth-order snakes!”

"yes!"

 On the minibus, Wang Tao had a bad feeling.

 The purpose of the Night Demon's heart was mentioned before, which made those awakened very excited. The appearance of the Iron Beetle made the city hall renege on its verbal agreement to let him drive the meteorite together.

Now that he has got these fourth-order big snakes back, no need to think about it, many people will definitely come to him in the next period of time and ask him how he got these big snakes...

 “Huh? Are there any festivals going to be celebrated recently?”

Lan Yulian suddenly spoke.

Wang Tao followed the sound and found that there were very festive red ornaments hanging on the surrounding buildings and trees.

 He was also a little confused. Festival... was a very distant word.

Ding Yuqin looked at the watch on his hand, and then said with some uncertainty:

 “It seems...the Chinese New Year is about to happen? It's next month...”

 “Huh? Chinese New Year?”

 Everyone was in a daze.

 Calculating the time, it seems that it has been ten months since the end of the world... Time flies so fast!

“It's the New Year, it's worth celebrating. Let's take a good rest during the New Year period...”

Wang Tao sighed a little, unknowingly, it has been so long since the end of the world.

 But unfortunately, until now, he cannot see any hope of returning to the pre-apocalyptic period...

 After some time, everyone finally returned to the Qiushui Pavilion villa area.

Since the villa has been unoccupied for half a month, it has already fallen into a layer of dust.

Wang Tao was about to take a few people to clean up, when Duan Xuchang came.

 “Wang Tao! Haha, I knew you must still be alive!”

Duan Xuchang came over and hugged Wang Tao.

Before Wang Tao had time to speak, Duan Xuchang said again with a surprised look on his face:

"I heard that you brought back a few large fourth-order snakes from outside? Is it true?"

Wang Tao was speechless. He knew that this matter would definitely spread.

 “Really. Xiaohei—”

Wang Tao called Xiao Hei over.

 “Hiss—it's really the fourth level!”

 Seeing Xiao Hei, Duan Xuchang was shocked.

 He was already surprised when he saw the lightning.

After all, there are many military dogs in the base, but not to mention the third-level military dogs, there are not even one first-level ones - because except for humans, other animals cannot fuse crystal nuclei. Unless certain mutations occur, it is impossible to artificially cultivate mutant beasts.

They asked Wang Tao what happened to lightning at the beginning, and Wang Tao also bluntly said that lightning was promoted to the first level after merging the teeth of a third-level zombie dog.

This is obviously a situation that cannot be replicated, so everyone slowly gave up the idea of ​​​​training military dogs. After all, luck is too illusory.

 But now, Wang Tao suddenly got a—no, five fourth-level snakes!

 How did Wang Tao bring back these fourth-level creatures? Does he have a special control method? Whether others can copy Wang Tao's operations...this is a very important question!

However, Duan Xuchang didn't ask these questions as soon as he came up. Instead, he looked at Wang Tao with some expectation and said:

 “Can I touch it?”

 “Of course, it's very well-behaved.”

Wang Tao nodded.

 Xiaohei and the other snakes have no ill intentions toward humans. After all, they were hatched by Wang Tao and others using their blood, and what they saw when they were born were humans.

 So, humans are curious about them, and they are also curious about humans.

When Xiao Hei entangled Duan Xuchang's whole body, Duan Xuchang didn't dare to move, not at all.

 After Wang Tao called Xiao Hei back, Duan Xuchang breathed a sigh of relief.

　　"Good guy! I never thought that one day I would be entangled by a fourth-order snake and still survive!"

Duan Xuchang sighed a little and was a little excited.

 He could see that this big snake was very obedient to Wang Tao.

If they can have such an obedient helper, not to mention the fourth level, but the third level, the second level, or even the first level, it will be of great help to them!

“Wang Tao, I want to ask, is this big snake of yours... for sale?”

Duan Xuchang scratched his head and asked.

 “Of course not for sale.”

 He was not surprised by Wang Tao's rejection.

 If it were him, he wouldn't sell it. After all, this is the fourth level of combat power!

Then he looked at Wang Tao eagerly and asked:

“Well, I'm curious, where did you catch these snakes... Of course, if it involves privacy, just pretend I didn't ask.”

"I didn't catch this snake, but it hatched from a snake egg. Because I hatched it, it followed me and listened to me."

Wang Tao didn't hide it either.

If his words alone can enhance the overall strength of the base, then he is naturally willing.

"ah?"

Duan Xuchang was very shocked. This result was completely different from what he imagined. He thought Wang Tao used some kind of snake training method to control the snakes.

 But if you think about it carefully, Wang Tao's statement is more reasonable - it must be difficult to tame a mutant beast, but if you cultivate it from an early age, it may be different!

“Thank you! This is very important news! I'll leave first. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow, so be sure to reward me!”

 Duan Xuchang ran away after finishing speaking.

 “You guy…”

Wang Tao was a little speechless. Xuchang obviously came with a mission and ran away after completing the mission. He was ruthless.

As soon as Duan Xuchang left, someone else came from the back.

“Wang Tao! I'm finally relieved to see that you're really fine!”

 The visitor is Qu Shilin.

 She came over quickly and hugged Wang Tao gently, and they were separated at the first touch.

 “Ms. Qu, good afternoon!”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

 “Hi! Just call me by my name, don't be so polite!”

The two exchanged pleasantries, and then Wang Tao invited Qu Shilin into the room. Qu Shilin adjusted her glasses and suddenly said with interest:

“By the way, I heard that you brought back a few large fourth-order snakes…”

Wang Tao shrugged and called Xiao Hei over again.

"Wow!"

　　Seeing the real fourth-order snake, Qu Shilin hugged Xiao Hei excitedly. She was not afraid at all and was much bolder than Duan Xuchang. It was as if what she was hugging was not a snake, but a kitten and puppy.

Her enthusiasm made Xiao Hei a little unbearable, and he struggled to escape from her arms. Wang Tao next to him had a black streak on his head.

 When Xiao Hei slipped away, Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao with some reluctance:

"Where did you get it from? Can you get one for me? The price is easy to tell!"

Wang Tao said again what he just said to Duan Xuchang.

 “Hatched from a snake egg?”

Qu Shilin was also surprised, and then she asked:

 “What do the eggs look like when they hatch?”

“Xiao Hei is hatched from a stone-like snake egg...”

 “Stone? Wait—”

Qu Shilin was a little excited and a little unsure.

“Why don't you come to my house and have a look? I seem to have eggs like the one you described at home…”

 Do you have this too? What kind of stuff have you collected?

　　　Sorry for the late update today. The condition is not very good, it took me a long time to modify it...
