Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1375 - 569: Capturing Silver Serpent Base_2

Then, Wang Tao turned to Lu Ping.

"I’ve brought a Powered Armor Team this time. They are dealing with the chaos elsewhere, but since there are so few of us, we might not be able to cover every area..."

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s words, Lu Ping immediately responded without a second thought:

"We are willing to assist you!"

This is an opportunity! They might be able to rise up at Silver Serpent Base using this chance!

"Very well, let’s depart."

Wang Tao nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the others.

"As for you all... Disperse. Go back where you came from. Consider this a warning. If there’s a next time, the fate of the man just now will be a lesson for you."

Wang Tao spoke calmly, as if addressing a trivial matter.

But the group felt a chill down their spines, as if they were being targeted by a demon.

"Yes..."

Wang Tao’s strength was overwhelming. Despite their numbers, they had no confidence in confronting Wang Tao and reluctantly turned to leave.

"Follow me."

Wang Tao was ready to leave with Lu Ping and the other military personnel. The military base no longer needed guarding; he didn’t believe anyone would dare target it.

However, just as Wang Tao turned around, two loud gunshots suddenly rang out.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

In the dark night, two tongues of flame instantly hit the back of Wang Tao’s head.

Everyone was stunned. freēwēbnovel.com

Sniper rifles! And anti-materiel sniper rifles that could penetrate armored vehicles!

Wang Tao was hit in the head by anti-materiel bullets!

Even for a Fifth Order Awakener like Wang Tao, a bullet to the head would surely be fatal, especially from a sniper rifle!

Lu Ping and others could hardly believe it, while the group of Ability Users were visibly excited. If Wang Tao died, the military personnel would pose no threat at all!

However, to everyone’s shock, after taking the two shots, not only was Wang Tao’s head not blown apart, but his body didn’t even flinch, and not a single drop of blood was shed.

Wang Tao turned around, reached back to touch the back of his head, and pulled out two deformed bullet heads.

With a light squeeze of his fingers, the bullets crumbled into dust and scattered with the wind. He smirked, looking at the stunned crowd, his pupils emitting a faint red glow.

"Bold."

Whoosh—

Everyone took a step back, including the military soldiers.

Suddenly, there was commotion in the crowd as some tried to run away.

But those people were right in the middle of the crowd, not so easy to escape. Others moved away as if seeing a plague, and the fleeing individuals were thus exposed.

There were 11 of them, two of whom each held a robust anti-materiel sniper rifle.

"I..."

One of the gunmen immediately dropped the rifle, trying to defend himself and buy time.

Fizz—

Two searing beams instantly went through his head, turning him into a headless corpse.

The beams swept lightly across, and all 11 people burst open like ripe watermelons, their remains scattered all over.

The people around trembled, even if splattered with flesh on their faces, none dared make a sound.

Terrifying, too terrifying!

Out of those 11, only 4 were Level 3 ability users, the remaining 7 were Fourth-order Awakeners!

The assault on the military base was organized and led by this group.

These Awakeners were surely considered high-level combatants of the Silver Serpent Base, much stronger than the Awakener Wang Tao instantly killed before!

Yet such strong Awakeners were instantly killed by a mere glance from Wang Tao!

And it wasn’t just one, but the entire group was instantly killed, without any chance to resist!

Most importantly, the anti-materiel sniper rifles were ineffective against Wang Tao!

Such powerful thermal weapons, yet they can’t inflict even the slightest injury on Wang Tao! How strong must his defense be!

His attack power is extremely high, his defense is absurd, and he can fly... He’s pretty much invincible now!

And they still think about fighting such a person? They truly have a death wish!

Everyone trembled, terrified that Wang Tao would start a massacre.

With Wang Tao’s displayed "Laser Eyes," it’s likely just a few glances would be enough to kill everyone!

Wang Tao looked at this group of frightened people, his tone still unfluctuating.

"I’ve changed my mind. None of you are going anywhere, just stay put right here."

Wang Tao didn’t mention what the punishment would be for non-compliance, but at this moment, he didn’t need to threaten anyone.

"Yes..."

Everyone immediately nodded, shivering.

They sighed in relief; thankfully, this boss didn’t vent his anger on them, just asked them to stay where they were.

Surviving was good enough for now, things like it being too cold outside were the least of their concerns.

This time there were no more complications. Wang Tao inquired about Cheng Yiyi’s location and then left the military base with Lu Ping and other military personnel.

If not necessary, Wang Tao really didn’t wish to kill his kind. But under these circumstances, he had to make an example; thus, the group that just ambushed him had to die.

The reason Wang Tao was unharmed despite taking two sniper bullets is naturally because of the [Omnipotent Shield].

An anti-materiel sniper rifle is incredibly strong; even a Sixth Rank Awakened can’t withstand it unprepared.

If Wang Tao had taken the shots with his head, he likely wouldn’t fare much better than those whose heads exploded under his [Scorching Eyes].

But since Wang Tao dared to show off, he naturally had a trump card. His [Omnipotent Shield] is a Passive Ability, always on, and this thing could block a significant amount of damage. Just two bullets, no big deal, just needing a bit more energy to recover.

On the way to meet Cheng Yiyi, Wang Tao encountered many who wished to take advantage of the chaos. For those with minor offenses, Wang Tao let Lu Ping handle them; those with heavier acts were shot in the head on the spot.

Harsh measures are necessary in chaotic times, and Wang Tao didn’t have time to deal with these people’s laments. Those who dared to cause trouble in such tumultuous times deserved their punishment, and it was fair.

Before long, Wang Tao and his party met with Cheng Yiyi.

Lu Ping and the others, even though mentally prepared, were stunned at the sight of the massive, high-tech powered armor.

It’s the apocalypse, and they can still produce such high-tech war machines?

But with this powered armor team, things would be much simpler.

Lu Ping, skipping formalities, immediately discussed with Cheng Yiyi and her team, then commenced their actions.

Wang Tao didn’t join them; he was looking for Ge Fuxing.

After all, Ge Fuxing was a Fifth Order Awakener, and if he really went mad, he could still bring significant destruction to Silver Serpent Base.

But before Wang Tao could find him, Ge Fuxing showed up on his own.

"Cough cough... Mr. Wang, we meet again..."

Ge Fuxing looked a bit embarrassed.

He had intended to take over Silver Serpent Base during this opportunity, gambling that Wang Tao wouldn’t get to Silver Serpent Base so quickly.

Taking Zhao Yue away, Wang Tao would surely interrogate some things. But interrogating a Sixth Rank Awakened is extremely difficult, so he thought he had time to seize Silver Serpent Base.

However, to avoid complications, he decided to leak the news first to stir up chaos at Silver Serpent Base. When everyone was nearly exhausted, he would come in and reap the benefits — although he was currently the only Fifth Order Awakener and possibly the strongest at Silver Serpent Base, the incident with the Summoning Altar taught him never to underestimate anyone. So he was cautious, not wanting to make the first move, otherwise, he’d be targeted by all.

But he didn’t expect Wang Tao to arrive so soon, and with so many powered armors!

Could it be that Wang Tao returned to Changhe Base? How is that possible?!

Although unclear about the specifics, Ge Fuxing knew his plans of becoming the head of Silver Serpent Base were thoroughly dashed.

He had no reason to fight Wang Tao; after all, Wang Tao was his lifesaver, and more importantly, he could no longer defeat Wang Tao... so he "surrendered" proactively.

It’s a good thing he hadn’t seen Wang Tao instantly killing those Awakeners; otherwise, he might have died of fright.

"Quite daring of you," Wang Tao looked at a clearly embarrassed Ge Fuxing. "I won’t talk much rubbish now. Later, I will account for how many civilians were harmed, and it will all be on you."

"...Okay."

Ge Fuxing’s expression was bitter; he knew Wang Tao wouldn’t let him off just like that, but he had no choice but to accept it.

Since Ge Fuxing was found, the next steps were easier.

Towards dawn, the chaotic noises inside Silver Serpent Base gradually ceased.

The next day, when the residents of Silver Serpent Base cautiously opened their doors, they were surprised to find fully armed soldiers standing on the streets!
