Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 776 - 305 Monster Expansion_3

Wang Tao packed away these named items and then walked out of the meteor pit.

At this time, meteors were still streaking across the sky, occasionally smashing towards the base, but the area near the plaza was safe. After all, there was only that cockroach monster, which Wang Tao had lured away.

Although the people near the plaza couldn’t see the specifics inside the meteor pit, they were all paying close attention. When they saw a tall figure emerge from the flames, everyone cheered.

"Wang Tao!"

Ding Yuqin and others quickly ran over to check if Wang Tao was hurt, and Lan Yulian hurriedly administered healing to him.

"I’m fine," Wang Tao shook his head and then asked, "How is everyone?"

"Apart from a few people who were eaten by the monster before we arrived, the rest of the injured have basically been out of danger. Even those with serious injuries can hold on for now; it all depends on when the doctors arrive…"

Before Lan Yulian could finish, she saw a team of vehicles flashing blue lights approaching from a distance.

"The doctors are here! They’ll most likely all be able to save their lives."

Lan Yulian breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, Duan Xuchang and his group also ran over, and Duan Xuchang asked with concern:

"I’m fine. I killed that monster, its body is in the meteor pit."

Wang Tao had already taken the spoils from the monster’s body, but what he took were the named items and the Crystal Cores.

Given the cockroach monster’s enormous size, there were sickle-like legs and a thick shell among other valuable materials on its body—all of which were quite rare—so the corpse of the cockroach monster was still of great value.

But fair’s fair! Wang Tao took the lion’s share, so he ought to let others have a sip of the soup.

"Okay!"

Duan Xuchang immediately ordered some of his subordinates to remove the monster’s corpse, while others helped to transport the injured to the vehicles.

When the meteors first struck the base, a top-level emergency alarm went off, directing everyone to find cover and hunker down.

However, after some time had passed, they realized that only a few meteors would actually strike the base, with most of them seemingly flying off elsewhere. Thus, the alarm level was lowered, and a large number of rescue workers began to appear outside.

Looking up, Wang Tao saw that the sky was stained red, with swathes of meteor showers passing overhead, making for a stunning view.

While occasionally a meteor would fly toward the base, not many landed within it, and those that did were relatively small in size.

As long as there were precautions in place to predict the landing sites of the meteors and evacuate the nearby residents in time, many casualties could be avoided.

Of course, the prerequisite was to refrain from tampering with those Energy Crystal Meteorites.

Wang Tao glanced at the information wristband in his hand, which showed a broadcast from City Hall. They instructed everyone who came into contact with the meteorites not to open them rashly—they contained great danger! Anyone who opened a meteorite and caused serious consequences would face a court trial, even if they survived the incident.

The punishment was quite severe.

As for the bald man who opened the first meteorite, he would definitely face some trouble, but nothing too serious.

After all, the ignorant are not guilty, and nobody knew what was inside these meteorites. Although a Level 4, Lord Monster had emerged from within, in a way, it served as a warning to everyone…

But speaking of the monster, Wang Tao looked at the bald man with some curiosity.

"Did that monster really crawl out of the meteorite? I didn’t see such large meteorite debris!"

"Boss! The meteorite was only as big as a small car. After I opened it with a Crystal Core, the creature inside began to expand, and then it grew to this size…"

The bald man quickly explained.

"I see."

Wang Tao suddenly understood.

He thought it strange that he hadn’t seen such a large meteorite. If that meteorite had been much larger than the monster itself, the death toll would have been even higher—not from the monster but from the impact of such a large meteorite. Fortunately, this was not the case.

However, a new problem arose.

If the monster’s size wasn’t as big as initially presented by the Energy Crystal Meteorite, didn’t that mean that even smaller Energy Crystal Meteorites could potentially contain monsters?

Wang Tao had just picked up several smaller Energy Crystal Meteorites. He had thought that such small meteorites were unlikely to contain monsters. But now, upon reconsideration, it wasn’t so certain...

...

The meteor shower continued.

After the initial panic, the base’s residents had all found shelter. During the construction of the base, many safety facilities had been installed, such as underground air-raid shelters. The limited destructive power of these small meteorites meant that those underground were essentially safe.

The people on the ground were either Ability Users or military and police personnel—all fighters with strong physical conditions. As long as they could spot the small meteorites in time, avoiding them was not a problem.

Order within the base slowly began to be restored.

After ensuring there were no issues near the plaza, Wang Tao’s group made their way around to other areas.

He thought about picking up a few more "Energy Crystal Meteorites" and did find two. However, as order was restored in the base, other Ability Users and the military became more active. Whenever a meteorite fell, they would surround it. It wasn’t easy for Wang Tao to take what others coveted, so he didn’t collect much afterwards.

As the red clouds in the sky gradually faded and the meteor shower slowly dissipated, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"It should be over, right?"

Ding Yuqin looked up at the sky dotted with stars, uncertainly saying.

"It should be over. You should all go back and rest now. Leave the clean-up work to us!"

Duan Xuchang said.

Many places within the base were in disarray and needed to be sorted out. Naturally, there was no need to trouble Wang Tao and his group with this labor.

"Okay."
