Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1009 - 401: Barter Transaction_2

Apart from a fighter jet, Wang Tao also bought a jet transporter, several helicopters, and a number of drones.

Anyway, these were all big toys, so he decided to buy them all at once.

"Missiles can only be stationed here with us. I'll give you a contact method. If you want to use them, you can contact us 24/7. As long as you can get in touch, we can help you strike your target. However, Changhe Base and the surrounding areas are definitely off-limits, and the accuracy might be affected without satellites... I have to make this clear to you," the man said,

Tian Xuesong also spoke with a smile.

Like airplanes, missiles were powerful but not easy to utilize in their hands.

It was just a waste to keep them unused, so it was better to sell them to Wang Tao in exchange for potions and weapon equipment.

"Alright!"

Wang Tao added the contact provided on his informational wristwatch, which was for the missile base. Tian Xuesong had already notified them, so they promptly explained the procedures to Wang Tao and had him set up several passwords.

Wang Tao could notify them to launch a missile at any time, and if he couldn't get in touch but wanted to initiate missile support, he could allow someone else to use the password to launch. However, this 'someone else' had to be registered first; it couldn't be just anyone.

Wang Tao registered Lan Yulian and a few others. Whether it would be used or not was another matter, but it was always good to be prepared.

After the trade with the Legion concluded, the committee's communication was nearly finished too. Yao Guodong came over and announced the details of tomorrow's departure to everyone.

In essence, he instructed the Six Major Legions to pave the way with a steel torrent, and to guard against potential blizzards, they planned to make it a quick victory within a few hours.

Of course, it would definitely take more than a few hours to deal with the zombie horde, so the operation might last several days.

How long it would specifically take was uncertain, but they could only venture out for a few hours at most each day, as staying out too long could be dangerous in case of a sudden blizzard.

This time, a lot of tanks and tracked armored vehicles would be deployed, naturally ones that could travel in the snow, giving everyone a strong sense of security. Additionally, the Six Major Legions had also specially prepared troop carriers that could operate in the snow and were available for others to use free of charge.

As for the Loot Packs from killing zombies, the Six Major Legions would take a ten percent share of the profits, as they were providing protection and transportation after all, and taking a cut of ten percent was reasonable.

The last point was about enrollment. Anyone could sign up, but not everyone would necessarily be accepted; there was a screening process, because every participant had to contribute during this operation. Anyone hoping to capitalize on the chaos should dispel such thoughts...

After listening to Yao Guodong's detailed explanation, Wang Tao thought it was indeed worth participating. Even if he had to give up ten percent of the profits, it didn't matter to him since his main goal was not the Crystal Cores but the Loot Packs.

However, at this moment, Cheng Yiyi secretly told Wang Tao that forces outside of the Six Major Legions could choose which Legion to follow, and that the ten percent profit would be collected by that Legion. Therefore, Starfire Society could join them, the Sixth Army Corps, and as for the share of the profits, the Sixth Army Corps didn't need it.

"Then I thank you!"

Although Wang Tao didn't mind, saving some money was always good.

"We're all on the same side, no need for formalities!"

Cheng Yiyi was still thinking about the equipment in Wang Tao's possession; mutual aid was the key!

About the issue of vehicles for the outing, although Wang Tao's Crystal Energy Car wasn't yet modified, he had just bought some vehicles from Hou Zhiyuan's Third Legion. The First Legion had many missiles, the Second Legion had many airplanes, and the Third Legion had many tanks, cannons, armored vehicles, and other weapon equipment.

Wang Tao had bought several tracked armored vehicles, which could now come in handy.

"You go and sign up,"

After confirming there were no issues, Wang Tao instructed Lan Yulian to go register.

"Okay!"

The so-called screening process was actually quite simple. The City Hall would first look at how many people you planned to bring. If the number was large, there was naturally no issue. If the number was small, they would consider the strength of your people. If the strength was formidable, that was also acceptable. But if both the number and strength were lacking, it would clearly be an attempt to freeload, and such applications would obviously be rejected.

When Lan Yulian went to apply with Gu Yun, the application was approved with just a glance. It wasn't a case of favoritism, but rather because the Starfire Society only had a dozen or so members, and half of them were listed for this operation, clearly not a freeload attempt. Particularly since the names of Wang Tao, Lan Yulian, and Xiang Hongbin were on the list.

"We're on a tight schedule, and we depart tomorrow. Those whose applications have been approved, get ready swiftly. Rest up tonight... Of course, before that, please join us in the next room where the New Year's Eve dinner is ready..."

The efficiency of the City Hall was impressive; it didn't take long for them to sort through all the applications from the groups that had signed up. Once the participants were confirmed, Yao Guodong invited everyone to the meal next door.

"Finally, we can have a hot meal..."

"I'm starving!"

"..."

Upon hearing that it was finally time to eat, everyone was instantly a bit happy.

The dinner was supposed to follow the end of the party, but an additional event had caused a delay of more than two hours, leaving many people famished.

"Wang Tao, let's go, I heard the dinner is very generous!"

"Okay."

Cheng Yiyi and Wang Tao, along with their group, arrived at the restaurant.

The delicious dishes had already been served on the tables, and the sight of the colorful food made many mouths water.

Although those present were powerful Ability Users with no small status, and many were from major forces, appearing to be the elite of the base—indeed, they were—but even for the elite, when it came to food, the difference from ordinary people wasn't big, as they spent much of their time eating Cockroach Paste.

Although proper meals were expensive, it was not that they could not afford them. Rather, they often went out before the zombie tide.

Once they left the base, there was basically only one kind of food, which was Cockroach Paste. Because it not only provided energy and was easy to carry, but was also very cheap. Before a better alternative emerged, whether ordinary people or Ability Users, most people ate this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the origin of these foods has been carefully cultivated by us, and we finally have results now. They include greenhouse-grown vegetables and grains, as well as farm-raised pork and beef..."

Before the meal, Yao Guodong didn't forget to introduce some of City Hall's recent achievements to everyone.

According to him, these foods were not ordinary; they were mutated foods. After their nurturing and testing, they had confirmed these items were non-toxic and that eating them would enhance one's physique. To exaggerate a bit, it might even prolong life.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Wang Tao's expression didn't change upon hearing this; he had eaten mutant beast meat before, which truly could enhance physical fitness, but the effect... didn't match the benefits gained from Wang Tao's own training. Of course, it was indeed an enhancement, and Yao Guodong wasn't pulling a fast one.

As for prolonging life and such, pursuing that was utterly pointless at the moment, strength was the most important thing, without strength, one couldn't live long!

However, others were quite excited when they heard this and even asked Yao Guodong whether these ingredients were for sale.

Yao Guodong said that the quantity of these ingredients was limited, but they could be sold, albeit at a higher price, even presenting a detailed price list.

But who among those present would mind spending that money? They all indicated they would buy some later; money was not an issue.

After seeing these steep prices, Wang Tao was instantly somewhat speechless; no wonder Yao Guodong had introduced so much, it turned out he was touting his wares.

"Let's buy some later too."

Wang Tao said to Ding Yuqin. Prolonging life was not important, what mattered was that it smelled very appetizing.

"All right~"

Ding Yuqin nodded her head.

The banquet didn't last very long, ending just after midnight. Everyone celebrated the New Year together, then went back to their own places to rest.

"Why does it feel like the snow is getting heavier…"

After coming out, looking at the snowflakes falling onto his hand, Wang Tao frowned instantly.

"This couldn't be like yesterday, dropping a heavy snowfall at night, could it?"

Since it was confirmed they were leaving tomorrow, Wang Tao definitely didn't want it to snow again, at least not as heavily as before.

But clearly, the weather would not change based on Wang Tao's personal wishes...

The next day, early in the morning.

Looking at the snow fluttering outside the window and listening to the howling wind, Wang Tao felt somewhat helpless.

"It's worse than yesterday's snowstorm; how are we going to go out..."
