Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 868 - 339: Entering the City - Side Story 3

"Ah? New Year’s?"

Everyone was a bit dazed.

Calculating the time, it had been about ten months since the apocalypse began... Time really flies!

"New Year’s, huh, that’s indeed something to celebrate. Let’s take a good rest during the New Year’s period..."

Wang Tao felt a bit emotional, realizing that the apocalypse had been going on for so long without noticing.

Unfortunately, up until now, he still couldn’t see any hope of returning to the world before the apocalypse...

...

After spending some time, everyone finally returned to the Autumn Water Pavilion Villa Area.

Since the villa had been unoccupied for half a month, a layer of dust had settled.

Just as Wang Tao was about to start cleaning up with a few others, Duan Xuchang arrived.

"Wang Tao! Haha, I knew for sure you were still alive!"

Duan Xuchang walked over and embraced Wang Tao.

Before Wang Tao could respond, Duan Xuchang spoke again, his face alight with surprise:

"I heard you brought back a few Fourth-Level Giant Serpents from outside? Is that true or false?"

Wang Tao was somewhat speechless. He knew this information would definitely spread.

"True. Blacky—"

Wang Tao called Blacky over.

"Hiss— It really is Level 4!"

Seeing Blacky, Duan Xuchang’s face was filled with shock.

He had already been surprised when he saw Lightning.

After all, there were many military dogs in the base, but not to mention Level 3 military dogs, there wasn’t even a Level 1—because besides humans, other animals couldn’t fuse with Crystal Cores. Unless some mutation occurred, it was impossible to artificially breed mutant beasts.

They had asked Wang Tao about Lightning’s situation before, and Wang Tao had told them plainly that Lightning had ascended to Level 2 only after fusing with a tooth dropped by a Level 3 Zombie Dog.

That was clearly an impossible situation to replicate, so everybody gradually gave up on the idea of breeding military dogs. After all, luck is too ephemeral.

But now, Wang Tao had suddenly brought back one—no, five Level 4 Giant Serpents!

How exactly did Wang Tao bring these Fourth-Level Organisms back? Did he have a special method of control? Could others replicate Wang Tao’s actions... These were all very important questions!

However, Duan Xuchang didn’t immediately ask these questions. Instead, he looked at Wang Tao somewhat expectantly and said:

"Can I touch it?"

"Of course, it’s very gentle."

Wang Tao nodded.

The snakes, Blacky and the others, had no malice towards humans. After all, they were hatched from Snake Eggs using HP by Wang Tao and others, and humans were the first creatures they saw upon birth.

So, just as humans were curious about them, they were also curious about humans.

When Blacky ended up completely entwining Duan Xuchang, who was too scared to move, too scared to even twitch.

After Wang Tao called Blacky back, Duan Xuchang finally took a breath of relief.

"My goodness! I never thought that one day I’d be wrapped up by a Level 4 Giant Serpent and still be alive to tell the tale!"

Duan Xuchang was a bit emotional and also excited.

He could see that the serpent was very obedient to Wang Tao.

If they could have such an obedient helper, not to mention Level 4, even Level 3, Level 2, or even Level 1, that would provide them with great assistance!

"Wang Tao, I want to ask, this Giant Serpent... are you selling it?"

Duan Xuchang scratched his head as he asked.

"Of course not."

He wasn’t surprised by Wang Tao’s refusal.

If it were him, he wouldn’t sell it either. After all, that’s Fourth Order Battle Power!

Then he looked at Wang Tao eagerly and said:

"Ahem, I’m quite curious; where did you catch these snakes... Of course, if it’s a private matter, just pretend I didn’t ask."

"These snakes weren’t caught by me, but hatched from Snake Eggs. Because I hatched them, they followed me and are very obedient," Wang Tao said without concealing anything.

If his words alone could enhance the strength of the base, of course, he was willing to share.

"Ah?"

Duan Xuchang was extremely shocked; the outcome was completely different from what he had imagined. He had thought Wang Tao had controlled these snakes using some snake charming techniques.

But after giving it more thought, Wang Tao’s explanation made more sense—taming a mutant beast would undoubtedly be difficult, but if they were raised from a young age, that might be different! Read exclusive chapters at novelbuddy

"Thank you! This is important information! I must go now, but I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow; you must come!"

After speaking, Duan Xuchang ran off.

"You guy..."

Wang Tao was somewhat speechless; Duan Xuchang was obviously there on a mission, and once done, he left without sentiment.

No sooner had Duan Xuchang left than another visitor arrived.

"Wang Tao! Seeing that you’re really okay, I can finally rest easy!"

The visitor was Qu Shilin.

She quickly came over and lightly embraced Wang Tao before breaking away immediately.

"Miss Qu, good afternoon!"

Wang Tao said with a smile.

"Hey! Just call me by my name, no need to be so formal!"

After exchanging a few words, Wang Tao invited Qu Shilin into the house. Qu Shilin adjusted her glasses, then suddenly said with excitement:

"Right, I heard you brought back a few Fourth-Level Giant Serpents..."

Wang Tao shrugged and once again called Blacky over.

"Wow!"

Seeing that there really were Fourth-Level Giant Serpents, Qu Shilin excitedly hugged Blacky. She wasn’t scared at all, much braver than Duan Xuchang. It was as though she was hugging a kitten or a puppy, not a serpent.

Her enthusiasm made Blacky a bit overwhelmed, as it struggled to slip away from her arms. Wang Tao looked on with a wry expression.

After Blacky had slipped away, Qu Shilin reluctantly turned to Wang Tao and said:

"Where did you get these from? Can you help me get one too? I’m willing to pay a good price!"

Wang Tao repeated what he had just told Duan Xuchang.

"Hatched from Snake Eggs?"

Qu Shilin was just as surprised, then she asked:

"What do the eggs that hatched them look like?"

"Blacky was hatched from an egg that looks similar to a stone..."

"A stone? Wait a minute—"

Qu Shilin said with a mix of excitement and uncertainty.

"How about this... you come to my house and take a look? I think I have the kind of egg you’re describing..."

"..."

You have it too? What exactly have you collected?!
