Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

Customizing the prosthetics went more smoothly than Wang Tao had anticipated, and he didn’t even have to spend any money.

“Old 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’s shoulder, his tone grave and earnest.

“I suddenly feel that wearing this ordinary prosthetic limb is quite good…”

Xiang Hongbin spoke up weakly.

“Hmm?”

...

Wang Tao had never seen Xiang Hongbin like this before; it was said that even at the moment of his sacrificial charge, he was spirited and passionate.

“Didn’t you say before that you’d rather die standing than live kneeling? You said that being disabled is no different from being dead…”

Wang Tao frowned.

“Cough, that was before. I’ve come to terms with it now. Sometimes it’s quite nice to be a disabled person, especially since I have you all protecting me…”

Xiang Hongbin spoke with a little discomfort.

“Old Xiang, that’s not like you! Would you really say such a thing?”

Wang Tao looked surprised.

“People change. It’s normal!”

Xiang Hongbin’s lone eye shifted away, seemingly unable to meet Wang Tao’s gaze.

“No!” Wang Tao shook his head “The Old Xiang I know isn’t like this! Could it be that you’re scared?”

At these words, Xiang Hongbin became furious, turning his head and glaring at Wang Tao.

“Scared? I, Xiang Hongbin, wouldn’t even blink when going to my death!”

“Then why are you afraid to go?”

“Heh, I just don’t want to trouble anyone, that’s all!”

Xiang Hongbin was still being stubborn.

“It’s no trouble, not at all!”

Qu Shilin suddenly interjected.

“…It’s just customizing a prosthetic limb, what’s the big deal, let’s go!”

Seeing that there really was no way to refuse, Xiang Hongbin had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

It wasn’t that he was cowardly, but when he had made eye contact with Qu Shilin, he had felt a hair-raising sensation! His years of battle experience warned him that it was very dangerous…

Wang Tao, seeing that Xiang Hongbin had agreed, immediately nodded in satisfaction.

He knew that Xiang Hongbin cared a lot about his disability, especially since he was combat personnel on the front lines. This level of disability was almost equivalent to taking his life.

If everyone else kept getting stronger while Xiang Hongbin remained stagnant or even regressed, it wouldn’t surprise Wang Tao if one day Xiang Hongbin sought to end his life.

So if there was a chance to restore Xiang Hongbin’s combat ability, Wang Tao would certainly do his utmost to help!

“Old Xiang, don’t worry, you will be fine!”

Wang Tao patted Xiang Hongbin’s shoulder.

“…How about letting Lightning come with me?”

Xiang Hongbin suddenly said.

“No way!”

Wang Tao immediately stroked Lightning’s head.

Xiang Hongbin was already in this state, which, to put it bluntly, was like a broken pot beyond mending, but Lightning was in good condition; he couldn’t let Lightning fall into this woman’s hands!

Furthermore, stepping back ten thousand paces, if Qu Shilin really had some ill intentions, then sending Lightning to her would be very dangerous. But Xiang Hongbin was different; after all, he was a living, breathing person. As long as she wasn’t foolish, she would know what to do.

“…”

Xiang Hongbin, seeing Wang Tao’s decisive refusal, was momentarily speechless. Wang Tao really knew everything.

Qu Shilin approached the two of them, her expression serious:

“I want to study him, because I’ve never seen a case where someone has suffered such grave injuries and yet didn’t die. Plus, he is a soldier, with a strong will, the perfect subject for my experiments! Rest assured, he will definitely stay alive!”

Qu Shilin assured them Xiang Hongbin would live, but the problem was that Xiang Hongbin was already quite alive… and as she spoke, she subconsciously touched tools like pliers and electric drills.

“Miss Qu, no need to explain further, we believe you!”

Wang Tao hastily interrupted. If she continued, Xiang Hongbin might truly beat a retreat.

At that moment, Gu Yun came over with an agreement in hand.

“Mr. Wang, please take a look and if you confirm there’s no issue, sign here.”

The content of the agreement was naturally about the opening of the meteorite.

There were a total of one hundred fourth-order meteorites here, and they planned to open all one hundred of them. If they couldn’t finish today, then it was no big deal to take a few more days. After all, everyone was eager to find out what was inside them.

Then there was the issue of specific contribution ratios— the city hall both provided Crystal Cores and meteorites; others only provided meteorites; while Wang Tao was only providing Crystal Cores.

Wang Tao had told Cui Sheng before that he could provide a Crystal Core for each meteorite. But Wang Tao had not expected there to be one hundred fourth-order crystal energy meteorites here…

“Mr. Wang, are you sure you don’t want to change your contribution ratio?”

Gu Yun asked considerately.

For one person to offer one hundred Level 4 Crystal Cores was an enormous challenge!

Even leaders like Qi De of the major forces couldn’t simply produce so many on demand. After all, they were now cooperating with the city administration, obviously to save money…

Gu Yun was not looking down on Wang Tao, but he thought that Wang Tao probably couldn’t produce that many.

Of course, this situation was also partially his fault for not clarifying it, mainly because he himself had not expected these people to come together and manage to gather one hundred meteorites, and this was only the first batch…

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

However, Wang Tao made a grand gesture.

“No need, just a hundred Level 4 Crystal Cores.”

— hiss —

Gu Yun looked at Wang Tao with a mix of astonishment and uncertainty, could he really produce them?

One hundred Level 4 Crystal Cores represented that Wang Tao had killed a hundred Level 4 zombies, most of which were Zombie Lords!
