Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 992 - 395: Attending the Party_2
Wang Tao and his group were also somewhat speechless, but as soon as they got off the vehicle, they immediately attracted a lot of attention, directly stealing the limelight from the "show-offs" present.
The first to get off was Xiang Hong Bin.
He had the largest build, so he sat nearer to the exit and was the last to get on and the first to get off.
And as soon as his mechanical body appeared, it instantly captivated everyone's gaze.
"What is that thing?"
"Powered armor? But the size doesn't seem quite right, does it?"
"Half mechanical body... Hiss! What kind of black technology is this!"
"So cool!"
"..."
People who saw Hong Bin couldn't move along, and they began fervently discussing in hushed tones.
Hearing the discussions about him, Hong Bin didn't say a word, just stood aside with a cool expression.
Wang Tao and the others knew that Hong Bin was a talkative and cheerful character. Seeing him like this, they didn't even need to think about it; they knew he was deliberately keeping silent to appear like a master.
"So showy!"
After getting off the car, Wei Zhenguo punched Hong Bin in the chest, producing a "thud."
The others got out of the car one after another.
Wang Tao's group didn't look ordinary, and they were also good-looking. However, they couldn't compare to the visual impact of Hong Bin, so even though they were all handsome men and beautiful women, they didn't attract much attention.
However, when Blacky and the five Black Snakes came out, it immediately caused another wave of exclamations at the scene.
"Fourth-level organisms!"
"Five fourth-order biological snakes!"
"..."
Logically speaking, serpentine creatures are quite adept at hiding their presence, as most snakes rely on ambushes when hunting. But these five Black Snakes didn't hide their presence well at all, and anyone with a bit of experience could see they were fourth-level organisms.
The attention brought by these five Black Snakes was not less than that on Hong Bin, sparking a lot of discussion.
"... These must be from the Starfire Society, right?"
Some people concluded Wang Tao's group's identity through the Black Snakes.
Wang Tao and his companions often went out, and when in the base, they stayed at home, seldom appearing in public spaces. As a result, many people only knew about the Starfire Society as a force and had no idea what the members of the Starfire Society looked like.
The matter of the fourth-order Black Snake was not a secret, and currently, only the Starfire Society had them, so seeing the Black Snakes naturally led to the association with the Starfire Society.
"You've become a star now!"
Qu Shilin patted Blacky's head. Blacky was dragging along listlessly behind Wang Tao, not caring about being a star – it just wanted to go back and warm up by the fire.
As for Lightning getting off the car, it didn't attract much attention. After all, Lightning now looked like an ordinary military dog.
"Mr. Wang, this way, please!"
Cui Sheng led Wang Tao and the others into the City Hall building.
The City Hall building was not tall, only three floors, but it covered a large area. This time, a spacious and bright tea hall had been specially prepared. After watching the evening show, they would come here for dinner.
"Mr. Wang, happy New Year!"
As soon as Wang Tao came in, he saw a familiar face.
"Captain Duan, happy New Year!"
The person who came was Duan Xuchang.
The two bumped fists.
Ever since Wang Tao came to Changhe Base, except for the first few days when Duan Xuchang hosted him, he rarely saw Duan Xuchang afterwards, who always seemed to be busy. Of course, Wang Tao was busy too, spending most of his time away from the base…
"Why do I feel like you've gotten a lot stronger..."
After letting go of Wang Tao, Duan Xuchang looked at him skeptically.
Each time he saw Wang Tao, he felt he was a bit stronger than before, which was not unusual. But this time, he felt Wang Tao had improved a lot. However, if asked where specifically he had grown stronger, he couldn't pinpoint...
Wang Tao looked at Duan Xuchang with some surprise.
Duan Xuchang's strength hadn't increased much. To Wang Tao, he seemed about the same as before, but his eyesight, or rather his sixth sense, was very keen, probably the result of extensive battle experience.
"Haha, maybe a little upgrade," Wang Tao said with a smile.
"... Indeed!
Duan Xuchang's eyes held a hint of envy.
His strength had already reached its limit, the same as when he first met Wang Tao. Two months had passed, and he was still the same, whereas Wang Tao had improved by leaps and bounds.
That's the gap between an ordinary ability user and an Awakener! An ordinary ability user at most reaches Peak Level 3, but Awakeners have unlimited potential...
While Duan Xuchang was contemplating, he saw Hong Bin. His eyes immediately widened.
So strong!
Wang Tao's presence was more subdued; ordinary people couldn't feel his strength, but Duan Xuchang could make a rough guess because he had interacted with Wang Tao more often and had keen combat instincts.
But Hong Bin was different. The powerful aura emanating from him was not masked at all, or perhaps there was no way to mask it.
He could sense a very strong power coming from Hong Bin, not from his level, but from the mechanical body on his person!
"Hong Bin, what happened to you..."

Duan Xuchang looked at Hong Bin in shock; he naturally recognized Hong Bin, who in his memory was still using prostheses. How had he changed so much in just a few days?
"Haha! Isn't it cool?"
Hong Bin laughed and bumped fists with Duan Xuchang.
Thud—
Using his mechanical hand, he bumped fists so hard that Duan Xuchang grimaced. Nevertheless, Duan Xuchang didn't mind and immediately grabbed Hong Bin's arm, studying it closely.
