Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 782 - 307: Flying Zombie_3

"A reward undeserved is a gift unwarranted; you killed the monsters, so these spoils of battle should belong to you!"

Looking at the clusters of egg whites, claws, shells, and the like, Wang Tao couldn’t help but mix laughter with tears.

"Cui Sheng just gave me a batch... and besides, I have no use for this stuff! I’m really not lacking in materials like these; you take them all! If you really feel bad about it, then next time we go out to hunt zombies together, you can just let me have a few kills."

Wang Tao said somewhat helplessly.

If he could really blow up a few more loot packs, that would definitely be better than this stuff.

"...Alright! Haha, then we’ll do it together next time!"

Duan Xuchang wasn’t one to fuss over such matters; since Wang Tao said so, he would just take the items back with him, which would be very useful to him and his team.

However, before leaving, he expressed something seriously to Wang Tao:

"I came to tell you an important piece of news today!"

"What news?"

"Flying zombies and monsters have appeared outside!"

"..."

Wang Tao opened his mouth.

This news wasn’t really unexpected, because when he saw those odd and bizarre zombies and monsters before, he had considered this possibility. After all, birds can fly, so the existence of zombies and monsters that could fly seemed plausible.

"I was called away earlier because of this situation. And you might not know, but last night during the meteor shower, two of our helicopters that took off were attacked by flying monsters and crashed!"

"Hiss—"

Wang Tao’s expression became somewhat unsightly.

Didn’t that mean the sky was no longer safe—the sky wasn’t safe to begin with, as flying too high would destroy all the electronics on the aircraft, but at least low-altitude flight was possible. But now... was even low-altitude flight not an option anymore?

"We’re still researching how high one can fly before attracting flying zombies and monsters, but what can be anticipated is that the sky will no longer be safe in the future! It’s probably going to be difficult to repeat those high-altitude helicopter reconnaissance and trailblazing missions from before! Luckily, we returned early.

If we were a few days late getting back to base, we might be trapped outside right now..."

Duan Xuchang sighed.

His biggest concern, which he hadn’t voiced, was that even though Changhe Base’s walls were very high, they couldn’t block flying creatures!

Especially those flying zombie monsters, which didn’t have any electronics on them, meant they could potentially fly very high...

Wang Tao obviously realized this as well, but he had no immediate solution either. It was a step-by-step situation...

"I should go now, I still need to study these flying zombies, I’ll inform you once we have concrete results."

"Okay!"

After Duan Xuchang left, the sense of urgency that had almost dissipated in Wang Tao returned.

He had thought that arriving at Changhe Base meant safety, but now it seemed that might not be the case.

Wang Tao gathered everyone and relayed what Duan Xuchang had just told him.

Everyone’s expressions turned somber upon hearing the news.

"But there’s no need for everyone to worry too much. Changhe Base is different from our previous base; Changhe Base is very strong! They have tanks, cannons, powered armors—everything! Even if we really encounter danger, we should be able to handle it!"

Wang Tao first reassured everyone, then continued:

"However, we can’t let our guard down; we have to enhance our strength! After all, strength is the foundation of everything!"

While saying this, Wang Tao took out the physical awakening key and ascension crystal core.

He had a total of 7 physical awakening keys, which meant up to seven people could awaken at the same time. But he only had 16 high-quality, level 4 ascension crystal cores, which were ready for direct use. However, they were enough for at most four people.

So right now, Wang Tao could only let four people attempt awakening.

Lightning, the military dog, was the first to be excluded because it doesn’t need a crystal core to awaken. Stay tuned with novelbuddy

Previously, Wang Tao fed it the flesh of a level 4, monster lord, and it successfully ascended to level 2 and then level 3.

But now, after level 3, it was unclear how to ascend further. When they killed the cockroach monster yesterday, Lightning was there too, but it showed no desire to eat.

Wang Tao wasn’t sure how Lightning would advance in rank, but it was certain that it couldn’t use crystal cores.

The second to be excluded was Jiang Shixue.

Jiang Shixue had regained her memory, and her internal impurity had fallen to 50%, making her appear almost like a normal human. However, she had no ability and couldn’t fuse crystal cores. Thus, she couldn’t merge with ascension crystal cores either...

Jiang Shixue’s advancement to level 3 was because she drank Wang Tao’s blood. But a few days ago, Wang Tao let her drink some of his blood again, but unfortunately, it had no effect. Wang Tao didn’t know if the quantity was too little or if his blood had stopped working... so Jiang Shixue was also excluded.

Then came Nie Siyan and Gao Hua; these two were the utility persons previously selected by Wang Tao. It would be their turn only after everyone else’s.

Next were Xiang Hongbin, Lu Gang, Chen Zhuang, and Li Qiuyu. Their relations with Wang Tao were relatively good, but their strengths were slightly lacking. Especially Xiang Hongbin and Lan Yulian, one was disabled and the other was feeble... so they also had to fall back in line.

Lastly, Yang Changhong was excluded because she had no hidden attributes.

Moreover, not just her, but Li Qiuyu, Lu Gang, Chen Zhuang, Gao Hua, and Nie Siyan also lacked hidden attributes—Wang Tao had forgotten, but now that he remembered, he had to exclude them again...

So in the end, there were seven candidates left.

They were Ding Yuqin, Han Rui, Lan Yulian, Lu Yingfeng, He Jijun, Xu Xiaojun, and Wei Zhenguo.

After a discussion with everyone, Wang Tao finally selected four candidates.

The first was Lan Yulian, and there was no other reason than because she was a healer. If she became stronger, the entire team would be stronger!
