Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 956 - 382 Need Help_2

Everyone gathered at Wang Tao's villa to have breakfast together.

After the meal, Wang Tao spoke,

"Let's go, the application to leave the city has already been approved."

Since there was a zombie tide outside, although the tide wasn't near the base, the danger was still significant, so one had to submit an application if they wanted to leave the city. The City Hall would assess one's strength, and those who were too weak were not allowed to leave.

During breakfast, Lan Yulian had used her identity to apply for leaving the city. With her strength, naturally, there was no problem, and right after breakfast, her application was approved.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Hong Bin had been eager to depart for a while.

In fact, Hong Bin no longer needed to eat ordinary food, as all the energy his body required was supplied by the Crystal Core. Of course, his not needing to eat didn't mean he couldn't, he still could. But eating these foods made digestion a bit troublesome. So, to save trouble, Hong Bin would avoid eating if possible. He had the patience for it. Yet, watching others eat deliciously, he felt a bit miserable... He really wanted to go out and teach those zombies a lesson to soothe his wounded soul.

"Let's go,"

said Wang Tao, waving his hand as the group headed to the garage.

There were over a dozen of them, and they definitely couldn't all fit in one Crystal Energy Car. However, it wasn't a major issue because Wang Tao had spoken to Qu Shilin last night about needing more vehicles for today. Consequently, Qu Shilin had arranged for a trailer to be sent over overnight.

Crystal Energy Cars were rare and mostly still in the experimental stage, and Qu Shilin didn't have any spares. However, she did have a trailer. This high-strength off-road trailer could be attached to the rear of the Crystal Energy Car, making it quite convenient.

Everyone boarded the vehicle, and after leaving the villa area, they took a slight detour and picked up Qu Shilin, who had been waiting on the street.

"I'm so excited!"

Once aboard, Qu Shilin spoke with some excitement.

Yesterday, Wang Tao had told her that they were going out today to test Hong Bin's combat abilities and asked if she wanted to join. Previously, if there was such an event, she insisted on being called, and naturally, Wang Tao wouldn't forget about her. Qu Shilin didn't hesitate and was waiting early in the morning.

"Huh? You guys..."

However, Qu Shilin suddenly paused because she noticed that the few people sitting in the car seemed a bit different.

After all, Qu Shilin was a Level 3 Ability User. Though not very strong, her experience and Perception were substantial. She was familiar with the people around Wang Tao. But now, these people felt completely different from before! It felt like… they had awakened?

Qu Shilin found it hard to believe. Awakening was normal, but for everyone in the car, except for her, to have awakened was not normal!

"You all haven't all awakened, have you?"

Qu Shilin leaned toward Wang Tao and asked in a whisper.

"No, it's just that most people have awakened. There are still a few who haven't,"

Wang Tao explained honestly.

He was very familiar with Qu Shilin, and this wasn't critical news, so it was naturally okay to tell her.

"Ssss—"

Even though she had guessed it, hearing Wang Tao's explanation still shocked Qu Shilin.

This was about awakening! This wasn't Ability, nor something achievable by merging with a high-quality, Ability-endowed Crystal Core.

The conditions for awakening were too stringent, and most people couldn't meet them. After all, she herself didn't have Hidden Attributes, making it difficult for her to awaken.

Even the chosen ones, who met all conditions, could face failure!

Every Awakener benefitted from both strength and luck!

Yet, among Wang Tao's group of just a dozen people, a dog, and a few snakes, most had awakened? Even the dog had awakened... This was seriously disheartening!

"I'm so jealous!"

Qu Shilin didn't ask Wang Tao how he managed it, but just gazed at him with eyes full of envy.

"Haha, it's just an awakening..." Wang Tao laughed, but sensing that Qu Shilin was really envious, he added, "When there's a chance, I'll see if I can get something that could reveal Hidden Attributes for you to try awakening as well!"

Everyone around Wang Tao already possessed Hidden Attributes, and if he could obtain more items that could enhance Hidden Attributes in the future, he would consider offering one to Qu Shilin. After all, they were both partners and friends, and Wang Tao was not stingy.

After all, there's plenty to be gained from plucking a bit of wool from Qu Shilin... cough.

"Ah? Thank you!"

Qu Shilin suddenly became very happy.

She had no particular requirements regarding the type or ability of awakening; she simply wanted to purely experience what awakening felt like. Later, when conducting research related to Awakeners, she could proceed more confidently…

"Oh right, I almost forgot the main point!"

Watching the car not yet leaving the city, Qu Shilin quickly took out an Iron Beetle and a Black Card to give to Wang Tao.

"All those Night Demon Hearts were sold, and this is the Crystal Coins you've earned. Here is your Iron Beetle. As for those two Night Demon Hearts used to support the display, I had the Sixth Army Corps take control of them. The Iron Beetle is too precious; I was afraid something might happen, so I kept it myself..."

Wang Tao had left the Night Demon Hearts and the Iron Beetle there to support the Sixth Army Corps. He wasn't familiar with anyone else, so he asked Qu Shilin to temporarily look after them. Now that Qu Shilin had come out with him, she brought out the Iron Beetle. As for the two Night Demon Hearts, Qu Shilin thought that with Wang Tao's strength, he probably wouldn't need them.

All sold?

Hearing that all the Night Demon Hearts were sold, Wang Tao was surprised.

He swiped his bank card on his informational wristwatch and was immediately astonished. There were a total of 60 million Crystal Coins on the card!

The average price of a Night Demon Heart was over 850,000, which wasn't low at all!

"Impressive!"

Wang Tao gave Qu Shilin a thumbs-up.

"Hey, this has nothing to do with me. They were already great items, and then you created such a strong sense of urgency among those factions. They bought the Night Demon Hearts in competition..."

At this point, Qu Shilin let out a chuckle.

"If these people knew that the person putting pressure on them was you, and the one selling them the Night Demon Hearts was also you... They'd probably find it very amusing!"

Wang Tao shrugged.

At the time, he hadn't thought too much about it; he just wanted to help the Sixth Army Corps, but he ended up indirectly selling his items quickly and for a high price...

"However, your supply of Rejuvenation Potions might not be enough. There are quite a few people who want to invest in the Sixth Army Corps."

Qu Shilin continued.

"That's okay, I'll bring more when I get back."

Wang Tao waved his hand dismissively.

Looking at Wang Tao's magnate-like demeanor, Qu Shilin really wanted to dissect him inside and out, to see just how many more valuable items Wang Tao still possessed...

Amidst their laughter, the car left the base.

After they came out, they didn't encounter any zombie hordes, and didn't even see a single zombie.

They could only continue towards the distance. After walking for about two hours, they finally encountered some sporadic zombies, all of which were Level 1 or 2. These zombies clearly were no match for them. They were directly crushed by the cold weapons on the vehicle.

"Where have all the zombies gone?"

Hong Bin asked, puzzled.

"These zombies must have followed the zombie horde..."

Wang Tao explained, frowning. This area showed traces of a zombie horde passing through.

If there were no formidable zombies, there was no way to have a real fight.

Look for zombies in other places? That probably wouldn't be easy either... But they definitely couldn't provoke a zombie horde, right? That would be too inhumane...

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

Just then, the car's radio suddenly made a noise.

"Sizzle... Wang Tao? Is that you?"

Hearing the voice from the radio, Wang Tao paused before responding in surprise,

"Eh? Commander Cheng? Are you all right? How did you get in touch with me?"

"Sizzle... We're temporarily safe... You forgot, your radio is on our corps' encrypted channel... Once you enter the range of my radio, I can see you..."

"Ah... That's really true!"

Wang Tao examined it. He discovered the approximate direction of Cheng Yiyi's radio signal marked on the vehicle's electronic map. He hadn't actually participated in any activities with the Sixth Army Corps since joining them as a consultant and wasn't familiar with these details.

But these little details weren't important; Wang Tao continued to ask:

"Do you need help then?"

"Sizzle..."

There was a pause on the other end before the voice continued:

"Sizzle... If you are able, we might need a little help..."
