Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 927 - 366 Mechanical Body

Chapter 927: Chapter 366 Mechanical Body

“Hiss—how cool is that!”

Seeing Xiang Hongbin’s current appearance, Wang Tao took a sharp intake of breath.

Back at Shuize Base, Xiang Hongbin nearly got eaten by zombies while protecting everyone. When Wang Tao rescued him from the zombies, only half of his body remained.

Although Wang Tao had saved Xiang Hongbin’s life with various potions, Xiang Hongbin became completely disabled and would likely need an inhibitor for the rest of his life…

Xiang Hongbin had a resilient character. If it had been peace time, he would have been unwilling, but he could have accepted the fact that he was disabled, after all, he had protected so many people, and it was worth it.

But now it was the apocalypse, danger was everywhere, and his disability could only be a burden to everyone; he couldn’t accept being a burden. If it hadn’t been for Wei Zhenguo constantly comforting and encouraging him, he might have sought out a zombie to die with. But even so, Xiang Hongbin was starting to struggle to cope.

...

When Wang Tao saw Xiang Hongbin again, he decided that he must find a way to restore hope to Xiang Hongbin.

It was impossible to completely cure Xiang Hongbin, at least under the current circumstances. So, Wang Tao thought about whether he could help Xiang Hongbin regain combat power.

At Wuyang Military Base, Wang Tao had 3D printed a set of prosthetics for Xiang Hongbin. These prosthetics allowed him to move normally and to have a certain level of combat ability. But after all, they were not custom-designed, so they were just “usable.”

Xiang Hongbin was quite satisfied, at least he was no longer a cripple.

But Wang Tao wasn’t satisfied, because he knew they could do better, but they lacked the relevant professionals to create something better. He knew that Xiang Hongbin didn’t want to fall behind.

By chance, when they arrived at Changhe Base and saw those powered armors, crystal energy devices, and other advanced weapon equipment, Wang Tao thought about whether the research institute could customize a set of prosthetics for Xiang Hongbin.

The people at the research institute were professionals, and the things they custom-made would definitely be much better than standardized prosthetics printed by machines.

Luckily, Wang Tao had met Qu Shilin, a technical guru, and asked her for help, money was not a problem.

Qu Shilin was very interested after seeing Xiang Hongbin and was willing to help without even taking any money.

Although Qu Shilin seemed a bit unreliable, giving off the feeling of treating Xiang Hongbin like a lab rat, she was, after all, a normal person and knew what could and should not be done. Plus, having used many products from the Hope Research Institute before, Wang Tao also had quite a bit of trust in the Institute, so they came to an agreement, and Xiang Hongbin went to the Hope Research Institute.

After that, Wang Tao never saw Xiang Hongbin again. Qu Shilin said that it was quite complicated and would take a lot of time. But she promised it would definitely be finished before the New Year.

Although Wang Tao didn’t understand why just custom-making a set of prosthetics required so much time and why Xiang Hongbin needed to stay in the research institute at all times to cooperate… But after all, it was a good thing, and Xiang Hongbin had agreed to it, so based on his trust in Qu Shilin, Wang Tao didn’t ask any more questions.

Counting the time, Xiang Hongbin had already spent two months at the research institute.

In these two months, many things had happened, and Wang Tao had almost forgotten about Xiang Hongbin. Now, he finally saw him again.

And seeing him in person, Wang Tao finally understood why it took so much time and why Xiang Hongbin’s cooperation was necessary.

He and Xiang Hongbin had originally thought that it would be enough to make a set of tailor-made prosthetics with good combat ability.

But now… he had practically become a metal cyborg!

But saying that these modifications were all prosthetics seemed reasonable…

The old Xiang Hongbin used to inspire pity and evoke a tragic feeling, a man who clearly had a story that made one unable to hold back tears.

But the current Xiang Hongbin was simply a mix of tough guy, terrifying, a sense of security, technology, and various other complex feelings. He not only had a story, he could slap you into becoming a story!

There was no denying it, Xiang Hongbin was truly handsome now!

When Wang Tao thought of such a transformation of Xiang Hongbin taking two months, he didn’t feel that it was a long time anymore, he actually thought it was quite short.

Even without seeing the specific abilities, just the machinery that seemed to grow out of his body told you this wasn’t an easy task.

Hope Research Institute is awesome!

“Wang Tao?”

While Wang Tao was marveling internally, Xiang Hongbin suddenly called out.

After Xiang Hongbin’s serious injuries, his voice had become hoarse, speaking like the friction of glass, hard to listen to. But now, Xiang Hongbin’s voice was clearer and more normal. Although it was still not as good as the original voice, and even had a bit of an electronic tone, it was much better than before. And this voice, with his current look… Gotta say, it suited him well.

“Old Xiang! Congratulations on the rebirth!”

Wang Tao laughed out loud and stretched out his arms, walking over.

Various mechanisms that had been holding Xiang Hongbin all retracted one by one, and Xiang Hongbin, taking slow but steady steps, descended from the high platform.

“Rebirth, huh… It does seem like it can indeed be called a rebirth…”

Xiang Hongbin muttered to himself and then embraced Wang Tao firmly.

After being embraced, Wang Tao winced a bit, but thankfully he was in good physical shape, otherwise, the hug might have actually broken his ribs.

“Xiang Hongbin, you’re too strong! Get used to your strength first!”

Qu Shilin quickly yelled out and then ran over to pull Wang Tao out of Xiang Hongbin’s arms.
