Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1011 - 402 Base Snow Disaster_2

However, their luck was clearly not very good. While Wang Tao and his group were warming themselves around the fireplace, news came from City Hall—houses had collapsed!

Although that family had already taken precautions to avoid danger, there were no immediate life-threatening concerns. However, this was not a good sign, as where there was one, there would be a second, a third…

Subsequently, as Wang Tao had thought, more houses continued to collapse. The Six Major Legions, City Defense Army, police, and others had already begun to move out.

"Do we need to go help?"

Jade Lotus asked Wang Tao.

"Not yet, let's wait for further news."

There was a unified command for the disaster relief, and Wang Tao did not understand it very well, so he didn't want to add to the confusion; It was sufficient for them to stand by at home. As soon as he received any news, he would definitely take people out.

"Okay!"

Everyone nodded, silently waiting for news.

In the afternoon, they finally got in touch with him.

"Wang Tao, are you guys at home?"

The person contacting him was Gu Yun.

"I am here, what do you need?"

Wang Tao immediately said.

"I wouldn't dare to command you, but could you go to this place? A cluster of houses has just collapsed there, the lines are also down, communication is impossible, and we don't know yet if there are any casualties... We need someone to check it out…"

As Gu Yun spoke, he also sent over a photo.

Hearing that a cluster of houses had collapsed, Wang Tao was somewhat worried. However, seeing that it was a civilian residential area, Wang Tao felt temporarily relieved. These areas consisted of low houses, and even if they really had collapsed, it was easier to find survivors and clear the debris. If it had been large buildings that collapsed, they would have been essentially doomed.

"Okay, I'll be right over!"

After ending the call, Wang Tao looked at the people around him.

"I need to step out for a while, Jade Lotus, Old Xiang, the three of us together—oh right, and Lightning too. The rest of you stay at home, there might be other places that need help later, you all can decide based on the situation!"

The base's wireless signal was also affected, so once Wang Tao went out, he wouldn't be able to contact the others. It was better to leave some people at home.

"Okay!"

Everyone nodded.

Then Wang Tao looked at Ding Yuqin.

"Sister-in-law, you can contact me if there's anything."

He and Ding Yuqin both wore Perception Rings, devices that wouldn't be affected by the signal and allowed the two to contact each other directly in their minds, although there was a certain range limit. Still, it was very convenient in such times. This was also the reason why Wang Tao asked them to stay at home; if there was any situation on the City Hall's side, Ding Yuqin could directly notify Wang Tao.

"Yes!"

Ding Yuqin nodded firmly.

After briefly preparing, Wang Tao and the others opened the door.

Whoosh—

The cold air outside immediately filled the space, even the relatively cold-resistant Wang Tao shivered.

"This damned weather!"

Everyone cursed silently in their minds.

The temperature was probably around negative ten to twenty degrees Celsius, and they all felt very cold. Ordinary people exposed in this scenario would likely freeze into ice pops quickly.

"Should we drive?"

After inhaling the cold air, Jade Lotus asked.

Wang Tao's family had two cars parked at home: an armored minibus and an off-road vehicle borrowed from Qu Shilin, which had been equipped with anti-skid chains.

In this environment, the minibus clearly wasn't suitable, so the off-road vehicle would have been the choice. However, Wang Tao shook his head.

"No need, leave the cars for them, we won't drive."

As Wang Tao spoke, he suddenly grabbed Jade Lotus's hand. Under her somewhat puzzled gaze, a tree root emerged from Wang Tao's wrist and instantaneously entwined and enveloped Jade Lotus, turning her into a "Tree Monster." Although Jade Lotus had a petite frame, even transformed into a Tree Monster, she was still not as tall as Wang Tao.

"Oh, it's not cold anymore…"

A slightly muffled voice came from inside.

"As long as you're not cold anymore."

Wang Tao nodded.

He hadn't used the Entangling Roots in a long time, after all, it was only a Level 3 weapon. Wang Tao felt it should be able to block some of the wind and snow, and it seemed to be feasible indeed.

As for himself, he had entered his Powered Armor, which wasn't too cold inside. Of course, Wang Tao wasn't afraid of the cold, but there were some instruments on the Powered Armor that might be useful, so it was better to bring it along. After all, this device was bound to Wang Tao, and no one else could use it.

As for Xiang Hongbin and Lightning, neither of them was afraid of the cold, so Wang Tao didn't need to worry about them.

"Let's go!"

Once everything was ready, Wang Tao's Powered Armor burst out a blue flame and charged into the snowy grounds. A faint blue flame also burst out from beneath Xiang Hongbin's feet, and he slid along the ground behind Wang Tao.

Lightning instantly grew larger, reverting to its true form, about the size of a cow. Lan Yulian directly sat on Lightning, and followed Wang Tao into the snow.

The road was covered with a thick layer of snow, but the path was still recognizable. The address Gu Yun had given was not far from Wang Tao's villa, and they quickly arrived there.

"So many houses have collapsed..."

This was a shanty area, no wonder it had collapsed so quickly under the heavy snow.

Looking at the collapsed houses in the midst of the wind and snow, Wang Tao immediately walked over and began to search. The Powered Armor was equipped with a Life Detector, which could detect any life beneath. Naturally, the strength of the Powered Armor was unquestionable, and Wang Tao easily cleared away the rubble to find a survivor wrapped tightly in a blanket.

"Tha-thank you..."

The person was somewhat incredulous. He had already given up on treatment and was awaiting death, not expecting to be rescued.

Seeing that the person still had an HP bar above their head, Wang Tao didn't look closely but immediately called out to Lan Yulian.

Whoosh—

A pale green light fell on the survivor's head, and his HP instantly increased significantly.

At the same time, several pieces of Cockroach Paste fell on the person.

"You should find a place to hide."

"Yes!"

After being healed, this person quickly regained his spirits, hurriedly huddled with the blanket, and hid in a corner of the ruins, where he could block some of the cold wind.

Whoosh—

Lightning directly charged into a pile of ruins and dug around. A few seconds later, he dug out two people hugging each other tightly, who seemed to be husband and wife.

These two people were not dead but had fainted earlier. Now, after being dug out, they woke up groggily, only to see a giant mouth full of sharp teeth upon opening their eyes.

Thump—

The two fainted again.

Lightning hurriedly stepped back, signaling that this had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this scene, Wang Tao was somewhat speechless and instructed:

"Lightning, bring them up here, Jade Lotus, heal them."

"Woof!"

Lightning opened his mouth wide and gently carried the two people, placing them next to the first survivor. The first survivor didn't dare to move.

Lan Yulian then cast two successive green lights on the two unconscious survivors, and their HP instantly recovered significantly, although they still hadn't awakened.

"Take care of them for a while."

Lan Yulian said to the person.

"Yes, yes!"

The person nodded hastily.

On the other hand, Xiang Hongbin was doing much the same as Wang Tao. After detecting life in close proximity, relying on his strength, he opened up the ruins in a few seconds and found an unconscious survivor inside.

When he carried the survivor out, Lan Yulian cast another healing spell, restoring the person's HP.

Wang Tao's rescue was not professional and not too particular. As long as the people were alive, he would just pull them out. The injuries didn't matter, as Lan Yulian could ensure their survival.

Wang Tao, Xiang Hongbin, and Lightning frantically searched through the ruins, with Lan Yulian closely following and healing.

Their rescue was a bit rough, but very efficient. In less than ten minutes, Wang Tao had dug out all the survivors from the pile of ruins.

Thanks to Gu Yun's quick notification, Wang Tao's fast arrival, and equally quick rescues, no one died, which was a fortune in misfortune.

After gathering these survivors together, Wang Tao was about to send them to the location designated by Gu Yun when Ding Yuqin suddenly contacted Wang Tao.

"Wang Tao, are you done yet? Another place needs rescue..."
