Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 867 - 339: Entering the City - Side Story 2
After finishing that small deal, it was finally Wang Tao and his group’s turn to enter the city for inspection. Wang Tao ended the call.
It was now the afternoon, and the sun was about to set, which was peak time for entering the city. The inspection was rather tedious, so they had to queue for a while.
Logically, the inspection for Wang Tao and his group should have been quick, as they were led by an Awakener. But in reality, during the inspection, a small issue occurred…
The inspection staff needed to check the vehicle’s inside and outside for any blind spots where zombies might be hiding.
They didn’t find any zombies, but they found five Black Giant Snakes!
Who could imagine, just when they thought it was just a routine inspection, that they would see such a group of horrifying snakes hissing at them!
The unmistakable Fourth-Level aura from the Black Snakes was something these Ordinary people simply couldn’t withstand!
The few inspectors in white protective suits were stiff all over, their faces turned pale, and they just collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, Wang Tao slapped his forehead - he had forgotten to mention earlier that there were snakes in the vehicle.
The inspectors weren’t too afraid when they saw Lightning the military dog, since Lightning was registered and recorded in the base system with a proper identity. The system’s information clearly stated that Lightning was a military dog with a good temperament that didn’t bite people randomly.
Of course, the most important point was that Nie Siyan had submitted the identity list in advance, explaining that Lightning was in the car but not the five Black Snakes.

Wang Tao had been busy replying to messages and had forgotten about this.
Blacky and the others were legitimate Fourth-Level Organisms, while these few inspectors didn’t even have 1000 HP.
The aura of a mutant beast was naturally stronger than that of a human, and Blacky and the company didn’t hide their aura like Lightning did.
The first time Wang Tao encountered a Black Mist Monster, he had been so frightened that he could hardly walk, let alone them.
Crash…
The commotion caused by the inspectors immediately alerted the City Defense Army on duty.
"What’s happening?"
This squad of the City Defense Army was armed, but they did not point their guns at Wang Tao and his group.
They felt somewhat nervous.
Right after Wang Tao’s identity information was registered, they received a prompt—this team included a Fourth-order Superpower!
Could it be that someone had angered this big shot?
"Ahem, it seems there was a small misunderstanding."
Wang Tao waved his hand.
Then they saw a Black Giant Snake as thick as a bowl slither out from the vehicle, followed by a few similar snakes!
"Hiss—"
"This is... Fourth, Fourth-Level Organism?!"
The soldiers were shocked.
The City Defense Army wasn’t like the inspection staff; they were all at least Level 1 and had professional training, so they weren’t completely frightened.
Their experience told them that these snakes seemed to be... Fourth-Level Organisms!
"I forgot to register their information, which caused the staff to be frightened. I’m very sorry for the trouble..."
Wang Tao said while stroking Blacky’s head.
The leader of the City Defense Army squad organized his words before speaking:
"Mr. Wang, are these… your new team members?"
Wang Tao nodded.
"Sort of. I picked them up outside; they are quite obedient, don’t worry."
Hearing Wang Tao’s words, while the squad of the City Defense Army was astounded, they all were frantically complaining in their minds.
Picked up?
These were Fourth-Level! Fourth-Level!
How could he speak about it so casually!
However, as long as it was confirmed that these terrifying Big Snakes were intentionally brought back by Wang Tao and not sneaking a ride into the city, there was no problem.
"Please register them…"
The leader of the City Defense Army pulled out a tablet and requested Wang Tao to fill in some details such as the Black Snakes’ features, names, and relationship, etc.
Registration was akin to obtaining a temporary identity. The next time these snakes were seen, at least their origin could be traced, preventing so much fear.
The inspectors had already been carried away.
"They are all right, aren’t they?"
Wang Tao asked.
"Mr. Wang, rest assured, they are fine. Just a bit of rest needed; you don’t need to worry!"
The leader of the City Defense Army quickly shook his head. Those people were just scared, without any actual harm done.
The City Hall would just give them some leave and a bit of compensation for emotional distress later. Discover more stories at novelbuddy
"That’s good."
Wang Tao nodded, then quickly filled in the registration information.
After ensuring everything was okay, Wang Tao waved his hand to the City Defense Army leader.
"You’re busy, so I’ll head back now."
"Of course, Mr. Wang, have a safe journey!"
After Wang Tao and his group left, the leader of the City Defense Army immediately instructed his subordinates:
"Hurry and report this! Say that Mr. Wang Tao has brought back five Fourth-Level Big Snakes!"
"Yes!"
…
Back on the minibus, Wang Tao had a rather ominous feeling.
The mention of the use for the Night Demon Heart had excited the Awakeners previously. The appearance of the Iron Beetle had even made the City Hall renege on its verbal agreement to mine the Meteorite with him.
Now that he had brought back these Fourth-Level Big Snakes, it wasn’t hard to imagine that for the next while, many people would be seeking him out, asking how he had managed to get these snakes…
"Eh? Is there a festival coming up soon?"
Lan Yulian suddenly spoke up.
Wang Tao looked in the direction of her voice and noticed that the buildings and trees around were decorated with joyous red ornaments.
He also felt puzzled. The concept of a festival seemed very distant.
Ding Yuqin glanced at her wristwatch then spoke with uncertainty:
"I think... it’s almost New Year? Next month..."
