Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1012 - 403 Rough Rescue
"I'm almost done, where's the specific location?"
Wang Tao immediately asked.
He wasn't far from Ding Yuqin now and could speak to her through the Perception Ring.
"It's at..."
Ding Yuqin quickly named a location, which wasn't far from where Wang Tao was. City Hall would try to arrange for them to be as close as possible to save time.
"Okay."
Wang Tao nodded and then looked at the survivors.
"Follow me!"
The snow was still falling, and the roads were covered in thick snow. However, the blue flames spewing from the back of Wang Tao's Powered Armor could quickly melt the snow.
He slid along the ground in front, leaving a clear path behind. Xiang Hongbin had the survivors follow in an orderly fashion while Lightning checked for stragglers at the rear.

But it was too cold outside, and these survivors, being in poor physical condition, began to lose HP.
So Lan Yulian used [Healing Light] directly, ensuring that under this continuous HP-restoring Ability coverage, the survivors wouldn't die.
After spending some time, Wang Tao delivered these survivors to a rescue station designated by City Hall. There were police officers, doctors, food, hot water...
"Thank you so much, big brother, thank you..."
The rescued survivors were extremely grateful, bowing and kowtowing to Wang Tao and the others.
Wang Tao waved his hand dismissively and then coordinated with the staff present to ensure everything was in order. After confirming there were no issues, he waved his hand again.
"Let's go, to the next location!"
...
Wang Tao was busy until dusk and didn't know how many survivors he had saved before City Hall finally ran out of tasks for him.
"It's finally quiet..."
Wang Tao let out a sigh of relief.
It wasn't because of fatigue—of course, they were not at ease—mostly because having a lot of work meant there were many disaster victims. No more tasks meant the situation was temporarily under control.
"I wonder how many people will die this time..."
Lan Yulian sighed.
Despite the disaster relief efforts and having her, the healer, present, people still died because she could only restore HP, not bring the dead back to life. Some survivors didn't make it until Wang Tao's team arrived, and there was nothing Lan Yulian could do.
"We have no way to deal with disasters of this magnitude..." Xiang Hongbin shook his head, then looked up at the sky. "Why does it feel like the snow is getting heavier..."
"The snow has indeed gotten heavier."
Wang Tao didn't look very pleased.
The snow had already stopped at this time yesterday, but today it was getting worse... it didn't take much thought to realize that there would likely be more trouble tomorrow!
But even if trouble arose again, Wang Tao couldn't rescue anyone until he knew about it, so pondering further wasn't useful...
"Let's go, we should head back."
When Wang Tao and the others returned to the villa, the snow outside was so thick that Wang Tao almost couldn't find where his villa was.
"Wang Tao, are you guys okay?"
Upon reaching the front door, Ding Yuqin and the others immediately ran out, concerned.
"We're all fine."
Even though Wang Tao had told Ding Yuqin through the Perception Ring that everyone was fine, she wasn't reassured until she saw them with her own eyes.
After everyone entered the villa, Wang Tao had just left the Powered Armor and hadn't had time to drink some hot soup when his Informational Wristwatch suddenly rang.
"Wang Tao, are you at home? Can you help with something?"
The call was from Cheng Yiyi.
"Commander Cheng, what's the issue?"
"A building has collapsed, and it's not easy to rescue right now. We need support..."
"A building collapsed? Address!"
Wang Tao was startled.
A building had collapsed? This snowstorm was more threatening than he had imagined!
After Cheng Yiyi gave the address, Wang Tao immediately said to Lan Yulian:
"We need to go out again."
"Okay!"
Lan Yulian nodded.
"Do we need to come along?"
Ding Yuqin and the others quickly offered.
"No need—nevermind, let's go together! A building has collapsed, it might be quite serious!"
It took some time, but everyone then arrived at the location Cheng Yiyi had mentioned.
Once there, Wang Tao finally understood what "a collapsed building" meant; it was obviously a poorer area, with various houses in the snow looking crooked and precarious, clearly makeshift "illegal constructions."
The collapsed buildings were of this type, and Wang Tao saw members of the Sixth Army Corps gathered outside.
Wang Tao and his group's arrival immediately caught Cheng Yiyi's attention.
"Wang Tao, is that you?"
The snowstorm was too intense, visibility was low, and it was also dark, so Cheng Yiyi couldn't see clearly.
"It's me, what's the situation now?"
Hearing it was Wang Tao, Cheng Yiyi quickly explained:
"It's there, that's a self-constructed building that doesn't meet safety standards! Not only does it have three floors above ground, but there are also two underground! Now the heavy snow has caused it to collapse, trapping over eighty people inside. Those on the upper floors are somewhat okay, and some have been rescued. But it's too difficult to rescue those below. I thought, since you have the Iron Beetle..."
Cheng Yiyi wasn't weak, and after her Awakening, she no longer feared the Iron Beetle. But that was in terms of combat. In rescue operations, the voluminous size of the Iron Beetle was something she couldn't match.
Wang Tao suddenly realized, she was counting on his access to the Iron Beetle.
In other rescue operations, the Powered Armor or Wang Tao himself was entirely sufficient. But here, with the two underground floors, using the Iron Beetle, which was as large as a Giant, would be much more convenient.
"Okay, just a moment!"
Wang Tao immediately left the Powered Armor behind and then pulled out two Iron Beetles, tossing one to Han Rui.
