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

Because the fourth-order Elite Zombies appeared after rainfall, and Wang Tao had just arrived at Changhe Base. Even if he had encountered fourth-order Elite Zombies at that time, he couldn’t have killed too many, as they did not stay outside for long before entering the base.

After they entered the base, those fourth-order Elite Zombies outside mostly joined the large zombie horde.

Faced with a zombie horde composed of a massive number of level 4 Lords and fourth-order Elites, not even the firepower-rich Six Major Legions dared to act rashly. They all tried to lure and slowly chip away at…

That’s why level 4 Crystal Cores were still so hard to come by.

If Wang Tao had 100 level 4 Crystal Cores in his possession, that would mean he had killed many level 4 Lords!

Gu Yun was somewhat skeptical of the truthfulness of Wang Tao’s words, not only questioning if Wang Tao’s strength was sufficient but also wondering if there really were so many level 4 Lords for him to kill?

Upon seeing the distrust in Gu Yun’s eyes, Wang Tao was somewhat speechless.

A hundred level 4 crystals… he did indeed have them!

To be precise, he had 130 level 4 Crystal Cores left.

But Wang Tao had no intention of bringing out all these level 4 Crystal Cores because some of them either had abilities or were special Crystal Cores. Using these to open meteorites would be too wasteful, and he couldn’t bear it.

However, there were 30 Crystal Cores without abilities, which he had acquired during the last zombie wave on his way to Changhe Base, where many fourth-order Elite Zombies were blocking the road, and those were the ones Wang Tao had killed.

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

Nie Siyan came over quickly with a small box and opened it in front of Gu Yun. Inside, 20 white and blue level 4 Crystal Cores without abilities were neatly arranged.

These were what Wang Tao had prepared in advance; he had thought that 20 Crystal Cores would be about right. The remaining 10 were Purple Quality or higher and were in Wang Tao’s Space Backpack.

Gu Yun’s eyes lit up when he saw these 20 Crystal Cores.

Although there were only 20, this still indicated Wang Tao’s strength. As for the fact that these Crystal Cores had no abilities, Gu Yun was not surprised, as the City Hall’s preparations were mostly No Ability Crystal Cores as well.

This must be the Crystal Cores Wang Tao got on his way to Changhe Base, obtained from killing fourth-order Elite Zombies. At that time, the fourth-order Elite Zombies had just appeared and were relatively easier to kill. It became harder to kill them once those Elite Zombies and level 4 Lords had joined forces…

“Take these 20 level 4 Crystal Cores first, and I still have 10 high-quality level 4 Crystal Cores. If all these 30 are used up…”

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

“You guys lend me some, or I’ll ask for a loan from you.”

Since Wang Tao didn’t want to use his Special Crystal Cores, he would have to borrow from elsewhere. He felt certain that the City Hall would have them.

“…”

Gu Yun was somewhat speechless.

City Hall indeed had Crystal Cores, after all, it was the official of Changhe Base, and all the taxes within the base were collected by City Hall. Many organizations were also under its umbrella, such as Changhe Bank… So they were quite wealthy.

Gu Yun was speechless because, if Wang Tao had not shown these 20 level 4 Crystal Cores first, there would have been suspicions of trying to get something for nothing.

But since Wang Tao had presented these level 4 Crystal Cores, it proved his strength. It was equivalent to telling Gu Yun: lend me Crystal Cores, I can repay.

“Let’s follow the rules of Changhe Bank for VIP customers. City Hall will lend you 70 low-quality level 4 Crystal Cores. If you can repay them within seven days, no interest will be charged. If you can’t repay, a certain percentage of interest will have to be paid… but these Crystal Cores can only be used to open Meteorites, and I will keep them…”

Gu Yun was wary of Wang Tao running off with the loan.

Although he felt this was unlikely, after all, Wang Tao was a fourth-order Superpower, running away with such a small amount seemed too low. But rules were rules, and everything had to be clearly discussed first.

“Haha! Okay!”

Wang Tao laughed heartily.

He was just trying to see if he could borrow Crystal Cores by using his status as a fourth-order Superpower. It was best if he could borrow them without trouble. If not, he would have to pawn other things for a loan. He had plenty of valuable items in his possession.

But now, it seemed that just with his identity as an Awakener, he could still borrow Crystal Cores.

Wang Tao and Gu Yun signed a supplementary loan agreement.

Once they confirmed there were no issues with both agreements, they could finally begin!

Since monsters might be inside the meteorites, all of them had to be taken outside. Otherwise, if monsters emerged and destroyed the equipment here, it would become troublesome.

This equipment belonged to the Hope Research Institute, which had moved some devices out to research the contents of the meteorites more closely.

“Let’s test the waters with 10 Meteorites first.”

Gu Yun, holding ten Meteorites, led everyone out of the big tent to an open area surrounded by the army.

The surrounding heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, vehicle-mounted machine guns, tank cannons, howitzers… all kinds of firepower were aimed at this area.

If any monsters appeared, they would likely be turned into a sieve.

“I’m a bit eager to get started!”

Qi De rubbed his hands together, his eyes filled with excitement.

The others felt the same way; they had picked up these meteorites but hadn’t yet had the chance to open them, so they were very curious about what might be inside.

The 10 Energy Crystal Meteorites Gu Yun chose were numbered 1 through 10.
