Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 773 - 304: Meteorite Rain_3

[Item Acquired: Level 4 Energy Crystal Meteorite (Ordinary) x1]

[Level 4 Energy Crystal Meteorite (Ordinary): Contains vast potential, can be activated (requires two Level 4 Crystal Cores)]

"Huh, this one is different!"

This notably larger meteorite is of ordinary quality and has two small pits on its surface for placing crystal cores. To activate it, all one needs are two Level 4 Crystal Cores!

This is much easier than the Level 5 meteorite from before!

"Should I give it a try?"

Wang Tao was somewhat tempted; he did have two Level 4 Crystal Cores he could use.

He immediately returned to Ding Yuqin and the others, saying:

"You guys keep an eye on the other meteorites’ falling directions, I’ll try to open this one to see what’s inside!"

"Okay!"

The group responded.

Before using the crystal cores to open it, Wang Tao wanted to try if he could break it open directly. However, after several attempts, he found it completely unbreakable.

"As expected, there’s no cutting corners..."

There was no choice but to use the crystal cores.

Wang Tao took out two ordinary quality Level 4 Crystal Cores. Since there was no specification regarding the quality needed, it made sense to use the white, ordinary quality ones.

He placed the two crystal cores into the small pits on the surface of the meteorite.

As soon as the crystal cores were in place, they were immediately sucked in.

The meteorite began to vibrate slightly, and the crystal cores emitted a faint white glow.

Crack—

In front of everyone, the bathtub-sized meteorite, like an overripe watermelon, started with a crack and then the fissure spread.

Bang!

It ultimately split in two, with most of its interior being stone. Only at the very center was there a palm-sized pit.

And in this small pit lay a crystal core?

The quality was white [Tier-4 Crystal Core · Self-Detonation x1]?

"..."

Such a large meteorite contained only a palm-sized hollow? And it contained a crystal core?

Not only just one crystal core, but a Tier-4 Self-Destruct Crystal Core of white quality?

Wang Tao had used two Tier-4 White Crystal Cores to open it!

"A total loss!"

Wang Tao’s face was grim.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford the loss, but he felt cheated and that was very frustrating.

The rest also felt speechless, never expecting such a huge meteorite to contain such junk.

"Looks like one can’t just casually open these ’Energy Crystal Meteorites’; there’s a risk of making a loss..."

Wang Tao shook his head helplessly.

At that moment, several more meteorites fell towards the base from afar.

"Let’s go! Keep collecting meteorites!"

Wang Tao and his group advanced again towards the area ablaze with fiery light.

Though the meteor shower looked quite scary, not many landed inside the base. Given the vast size of the base... when the impacts were averaged out, the ratio of casualties hit by the meteorites wasn’t high.

Wang Tao also saved several groups of people, not knowing how many times he had been thanked. He had picked up several meteorites but hadn’t opened them. After all, he didn’t quite understand the situation now and thought to study them later. Otherwise, if he kept losing on each attempt, there would be no way to continue playing.

"Roar——"

Suddenly, everyone heard a roar within the base!

Wang Tao frowned; could it be that someone was keeping a mutant beast?

Buzzing~

Just then, Wang Tao’s wrist communicator vibrated as Duan Xuchang’s voice came through.

"Wang Tao, can you come over? We’re on the same street we went to with you today. There’s a fourth-order monster here! There are a lot of civilians around, and it’s not easy to use heavy firepower. My powered armor is out for maintenance..."

"What! A fourth-order monster! I’m on my way!"

Wang Tao’s expression turned serious.

Upon confirming that the fourth-order monster Duan Xuchang mentioned was the roar he had just heard, Wang Tao immediately led the group over.

"Let’s go! Let’s see what’s going on."

...

Ratatat—

"Help!"

"Don’t run around!"

At a certain square inside the base, chaos reigned.

A pitch-black monster, boasting thick armor and legs sharp like blades, was rampaging and destroying everything in sight.

Beneath it were many fresh red bloodstains, but no bodies. Many ordinary people were lying on the ground or hiding in corners nearby; perhaps the monster had a blind spot in its vision and temporarily hadn’t noticed these people hiding.

Ratatat—

More than twenty soldiers were unloading their firepower on the monster, but its shell was too thick, rendering the small-caliber bullets completely ineffective!

They had heavy weapons at their disposal, but they didn’t dare use them since there were still many people directly below the monster.

"Damn it! If I’d known, I wouldn’t have been so impulsive!"

Among the team, there were a few individuals dressed like survivors from the apocalypse. One of them, a lean, bald man, was furious with rage.

"Don’t panic, I’ve already called for help!"

Duan Xuchang immediately reassured him.

"Who?"

"It’s—"

Before Duan Xuchang could finish, his vision blurred as a burly figure appeared before them.

The bald man jumped in shock, while Duan Xuchang’s face lit up with surprise.

"You got here so fast!"

"I was nearby," Wang Tao said, gazing at the huge figure not too far away. Somewhat puzzled, he asked Duan Xuchang, "Captain Duan, how did this thing get into the base? Could it climb over the high walls of the base, or fly in?"

Could such a tall stronghold also be unsafe?

Confronted with Wang Tao’s doubts, before Duan Xuchang could reply, the bald man beside him said with remorse:

"It’s all my fault! I picked up a big meteorite in the meteor pit earlier. I felt something good inside it and that it could be opened with crystal cores! I intended to try later, but I couldn’t resist and used four crystal cores to open it—and out popped this fourth-order monster! It’s killed a lot of ordinary people! I deserve to die!"

Wang Tao: "..."

To think that opening these "Energy Crystal Meteorites" could yield a loss or even unleash a monster?

Wang Tao took a deep breath and then addressed the two men:

"You guys get ready to rescue the people; I’ll take care of it!"
