Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1004 - 399 Hidden Crisis_2

So those who came to find Wang Tao were already quite familiar with him.

Like Zhou Long, Qi De, and others.

They came to see Wang Tao, saying they hoped to look after each other when they went out tomorrow. Even though the Six Major Legions were leading the group, there could still be unexpected situations, so they needed to prepare in advance.

According to them, it would be best to form a temporary small alliance or something similar, where they could resist danger together, share the spoils, and advance or retreat as a unit.

For Wang Tao, cooperation was of course not a problem. But he didn't want to be bound by any rules or the like. Plus, did he not know what schemes these people were cooking up? It was nothing more than their interest in Lan Yulian's healing ability!

If there really were any benefits, it was debatable whether they could be shared, but Wang Tao was definitely going to take the lead. And since they had cooperated with Wang Tao several times before, not one of them was able to beat him at taking the lead. Then, they would find out, it was always Wang Tao taking the lead.

Killing would yield Awakening Keys and Awakening Energy, and they certainly wouldn't feel good about it, but these were things Wang Tao had to take. After all, it would be a waste not to take the Loot Packs that could drop... So there was no helping it, Wang Tao wasn't willing to cooperate with the others for now.

"Not at the moment, because I haven't decided whether to go or not."

Wang Tao shook his head, directly rejecting their proposal.

"Huh? You guys aren't going?"

Qi De and the others were somewhat surprised.

With such a good opportunity, Wang Tao was unexpectedly not going? When they had inquired just now, they had assumed the Starfire Society was also participating.

"It's not that I'm not going, it's that I haven't decided yet. Let's wait and see what City Hall has to say..."

Wang Tao explained.

"...Alright then."

The group left with a touch of regret.

They thought that Wang Tao was just making excuses, the Starfire Society would probably go, Wang Tao just didn't want to cooperate with them, that's all.

However, Qi De and the others still didn't give up.

"How about this, if you guys go, and we run into any major danger, President Lan, please prioritize saving us, for a fee!"

As Wang Tao had expected, these people were eyeing Lan Yulian's healing ability.

But the idea of paid healing left Wang Tao somewhat speechless.

This was basically turning Lan Yulian into a "paid healer"!

However, if a crisis did occur, Lan Yulian definitely wouldn't stand by idly. Saving someone was a given, and it made sense to save someone familiar.

"Alright."

So Wang Tao nodded.

Qi De and his companions immediately showed radiant smiles on their faces.

They themselves were also training Healing-Type Extraordinary Function Humans, but the more they interacted with healers, the more they understood the strength of Lan Yulian.

Having Lan Yulian there meant an extra layer of security. Although it seemed safer with the Six Major Legions, it was good to have a backup plan...

Once they were certain that Wang Tao had agreed, they finally left satisfied.

After Qi De and his group had left, people continued to come one after another. Basically, they were there for two things: seeking protection and seeking healing.

At this point, the Starfire Society had become one of the hot topics.

But aside from these, there were also many who came for Hong Bin.

Hong Bin was a rather showy character, so he directly displayed his mechanical body, which made him quite an attraction. And people confirmed that mechanical bodies could indeed provide the combat strength of an Awakener!

This excited everyone, as Awakening was too difficult, and many people might not have a chance to awaken in their lifetime. But if they opted for a mechanical body modification, wouldn't that be much simpler? Although it might result in looking somewhat inhuman, it was, after all, an enhancement of strength! As a result, many people had already begun consulting the research institute.

However, with the current level of technology, mechanical body modifications were not something that could be done carelessly, as sloppy work could endanger life. The research institute also kindly explained this to them. However, they did not refuse those who wished to participate in future prosthetic body modification experiments; after all, they needed experiment subjects. If they could produce another case like Hong Bin, that would certainly be good for them...

Wang Tao no longer concerned himself with the matters of the Starfire Society; he let Lan Yulian and the others handle it while he toured other areas to see what else was being traded.

Wang Tao noticed that there were rather few physical items being traded; most were negotiating about how to cooperate after going out tomorrow.

It was understandable, though, since the trade fair had been so sudden that no one was fully prepared. With the frozen zombies scheduled to be hunted tomorrow, it was certainly necessary to plan for tomorrow, and to prepare contingencies like Qi De had done.

Wang Tao had no need for such trades, so as he wandered, he eventually made his way to the area of the Six Major Legions, or rather, five of the Major Legions—since the Sixth Army Corps had neither bought nor sold much.

Cheng Yiyi and her group had initially planned to buy some weapon equipment, as they had received some sponsorship and funds from Wang Tao. But after Wang Tao suddenly revealed that he had a fourth-order snake egg, Cheng Yiyi gave up on purchasing the weapon equipment and came to buy the snake egg instead.

The weapon equipment was good, but not suitable for use in the caves. In contrast, if they could hatch these fourth-order black snakes, their effect in the caves was estimated to be no less significant than that of a Night Demon...

As for Wang Tao himself, while he was very interested in the weaponry of the Legions, they didn't sell to outsiders and only allowed transactions within the Six Major Legions—others weren't even allowed a look. This irritated Wang Tao slightly, but then he thought, as a consultant for the Sixth Army Corps, if he visited in the name of the corps, he might at least be able to take a look, if not buy, right?

Wang Tao tried it, and it indeed worked.

When he arrived at the exchange site of the five Major Legions, no one stopped him, and the people there greeted him as Consultant Wang.

Wang Tao felt quite pleased with this; having an identity certainly made a difference.

As this trade fair was originally only for the Six Major Legions, they were all prepared; upon entering their area, one could see booklets laid out, which Wang Tao picked up to see what the five Major Legions had to offer.

"Tanks, cannons, rockets, missiles... and even airplanes, hiss! There are even fighter jets! Good lord, these things are up for sale too?"

Wang Tao was somewhat incredulous, and it wasn't just a matter of whether they could sell them—things like fighter jets, he had never even seen before! Did the base actually have such impressive stuff?

Duan Xuchang happened to be there, and he quickly came over upon seeing Wang Tao.

"Wang Tao!"

"Old Duan, you guys have fighter jets? Are those really for sale?"

Wang Tao immediately asked in a soft voice.

"Hey, those fighter jets are being sold by the Second Army Corps, and regarding whether they can be sold... of course, they can be sold, it's just that they're not very useful right now..."

Duan Xuchang explained to Wang Tao.

As mentioned before, airplanes couldn't fly too high, or their electronic products would malfunction, leading to crashes; Wang Tao had already lost a transport aircraft this way, and satellites had also crashed because of this.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.

And this No-fly Zone was continually getting lower, and the maximum safe altitude for flight had already become very low. Apart from helicopters, jet fighters that flew high were basically unusable.

Of course, fighter jets could fly at extremely low altitudes, but this was too dangerous, with obstructions everywhere, making it easy for both the aircraft and the pilot to meet their demise, as well as attracting flying zombies and monsters... So unless it was a life-or-death situation, these fighter jets were basically collecting dust.

After hearing Duan Xuchang's explanation, Wang Tao suddenly came to understand. He had almost forgotten about this issue.

But then Wang Tao suddenly thought of another problem.

"If this No-fly Zone keeps getting lower, does it mean that eventually, all electronic products will become unusable when it reaches ground level?"

Faced with this question, Duan Xuchang fell silent.

This was exactly what they were worried about, a hidden crisis...
