Chapter 305 Meteor Rain
Changhe Base, seven o'clock in the evening.
Some streets are still busy with traffic and neon lights are on.
Women in scantily clad clothing, vendors pushing trolleys, fortune tellers chattering, thugs surrounded by people gambling and fighting...
The rich nightlife at Changhe Base has begun.
But suddenly, everyone felt some red light flashing in front of their eyes. They looked up subconsciously and found that at some point, the clouds in the dark night sky were dyed with a faint red color.
"What is that..."
Everyone was a little confused.
Then something with a red tail flame flew over everyone's heads.
"Meteor?"
Everyone exclaimed, and some even started to put their hands together and make wishes.
Then there was the second red tail flame, and the third...
"Wow! Meteor shower!"
At this time, many people were a little excited, even if People who are not superstitious are also starting to prepare to make wishes.
I saw a rainbow a few days ago, and a meteor shower today... Doesn't this mean something good is going to happen!
However, some people looked puzzled.
"How do you feel... as if there are a few meteors flying towards us?"
Buzz——
Suddenly, piercing sirens sounded in the streets and alleys. .
“Level 1 alert! A meteorite is coming! Everyone is looking for shelter nearby!”
"Level 1 alarm! The meteorite is coming..."
Wow -
Everyone was shocked, and many people were stunned for a moment. But after all, they are also people who have experienced the apocalypse. Although most people may not be very strong, they still have a high awareness of saving their lives.
After hearing the sirens and the words on the radio, people on the street immediately began to run into the buildings on both sides. Those who couldn't run away for the time being hid in the corner.
Everyone looked a little frightened.
The meteor shower is beautiful, but if it hits you, it will be fatal!
"Don't panic, everyone evacuates in an orderly manner!"
A group of heavily armed soldiers appeared. This was the city defense force that usually patrolled the base.
"Follow me, don't crowd!"
There are also some people in uniforms evacuating the crowd. These are the police in the base.
With the presence of soldiers and police, the panicked crowd suddenly stabilized a lot.
At this time, several people and a mutated big dog suddenly squeezed out of the crowd and ran towards the place where a meteorite fell.
"Hey! You guys——"
A soldier in military uniform was about to remind the other party that even if you are a person with powers at this time, it is better to hide.
But I saw a person at the front of the group of people turned his head and glanced at him.
Boom——
The soldier felt as if he was hit by an indescribable momentum, and those green eyes made him breathless!
The Awakener!
The soldier immediately shut his mouth.
He did not expect that the group of people would be led by a fourth-level superpower! If we are really in danger, even if everyone in their team is dead, everyone might be fine!
So he said no more. After all, people who can awaken to become fourth-level superpowers cannot be fools.
On the other side, Wang Tao withdrew his gaze.
It's not that he deliberately scares people, but that he has a certain momentum when he gets serious.
“Go west!”
Wang Tao greeted, and everyone followed immediately.
He saw a meteorite was about to fall into the base, and he wanted to see what was going on.
Wang Tao was also shocked when he discovered these meteorites for the first time. However, after a little observation, he discovered that these meteorites were not hitting the base. Maybe one or two occasionally fell into the base, but most of the meteorites didn't know where they hit. That's why he dared to rush out.
Otherwise, if a large number of meteorites hit the base, even if he is a fourth-level superpower user, he would not dare to run around. After all, compared with natural disasters, his strength is really not good enough.
Wang Tao made a little prediction about where the meteorite would fall.
"It should fall in the area in front..."
There was a building there, and many people were hiding inside. If this meteorite hits, these people will probably die!
“Everyone get out of this building!”
Wang Tao came outside the building and yelled inside.
Some people inside stretched their heads and glanced at him, but no one left. These people were hiding inside, obviously unable to see the trajectory of the meteorite above their heads. The broadcast just now said that we should find a place to hide nearby. If you run out at this time, wouldn't you be seeking death?
If Wang Tao was wearing a military or police uniform, they might still believe it. But Wang Tao is dressed like an ordinary survivor... Although he is a bit burly and should be a person with supernatural powers, people obviously don't trust him very much.
Wang Tao frowned at the attitude of these people, but he was not prepared to say more. After all, this is not the Bauhinia Base, so it is impossible for others to believe him unconditionally.
So Wang Tao stretched out his hand, and a fireball appeared in his hand.
The fireball grew larger and larger, and a destructive aura began to spread.
“Leave, or die.”
“…”
The survivors hiding in the building were dumbfounded.
There are also well-informed superpower users among them. They know that Wang Tao’s fireball is not an ordinary superpower. It is most likely related to awakening!
This is a fourth-level awakener!
If a fourth-level awakened person attacks them, none of them may survive!
“Run, run!”
Although they didn't know why Wang Tao did this, between "die now" and "may die later", they clearly chose the latter.
But many people are thinking that if they survive the disaster today, they will secretly report Wang Tao later!
Even if people with superpowers have privileges and awakened people have great privileges, it is unjustifiable to threaten so many people on such occasions!
Wang Tao naturally didn't know what these people thought, and even if he did, it didn't matter. He looked calmly at the building where the group of people left, and then looked at the sky.
“Coming!”
A meteorite with a red tail flame is getting bigger and bigger!
Wang Tao and others immediately retreated.
Then——
Boom!
There was a loud noise and the earth shook!
The meteorite accurately hit the building just now.
The entire building was instantly razed to the ground, scorching flames spurted out, and those who had not left in the distance were sore in the cheeks from the high temperature.
"Is everyone okay?"
Wang Tao looked back at everyone.
“It’s okay!”
"Woof!"
Everyone responded.
Seeing that no one was injured, Wang Tao looked at the sky again to make sure that no second meteorite had fallen, and then he ran towards the place where the meteorite fell.
“Let’s go!”
The fireball in Wang Tao’s hand has not been extinguished yet, nor has he thrown it. After all, he was not sure what would happen to the meteorite and whether there was any danger in it. At the same time, Wang Tao was still staring at his health bar to see if any negative status appeared.
Fortunately, no one was in any danger until they reached the big crater hit by the meteorite.
“What a big pit!”
Amidst the fire and smoke, a huge pit about the size of a basketball court appeared.
And in this pit, there is a meteorite the size of a face plate.
"That's something falling from the sky...could it be some kind of magical iron from the sky?"
Yang Changhong muttered.
"I'll go get it up."
There were still flames below, but Wang Tao was not afraid of fire and soon came to the meteorite.
“Huh?”
But after seeing the meteorite at close range, Wang Tao was stunned for a moment.
This meteorite actually has a name!
After confirming that there was no danger around him, Wang Tao immediately extinguished the fireball in his hand, then placed his hand on the hot meteorite, and the meteorite disappeared instantly.
[Obtain: Level 5·Crystal Energy Star Meteorite (Excellent)*1]
[Level 5·Crystal Energy Star Meteorite (Excellent): There is a universe inside, which can be opened (requires Level 5 Crystal Core*8】
“Hiss——”
Wang Tao was a little surprised when he saw the properties of this meteorite.
This is actually a fifth-level stone of excellent quality!
And there seems to be something good hidden inside, which can be opened!
But to open this meteorite, you need 8 fifth-order crystal nuclei!
Outrageous!
Not to mention the fifth-level crystal core, he has only seen one fifth-level zombie so far, and it was an extremely terrifying disaster zombie! So where can we get so many fifth-order crystal nuclei?
But does this show from the side that there are really good things in it? After all, generally speaking, efforts and gains are directly proportional!
Wang Tao searched the big pit again, and after confirming that there was nothing else here except this meteorite, Wang Tao returned to everyone.
“What’s going on below?”
Ding Yuqin asked curiously.
Wang Tao stretched out his hand, and a meteorite the size of a washbasin appeared in his hand. This meteorite was originally hot, but after he put it in the space backpack and took it out, it became a normal temperature. Wang Tao didn't take a closer look just now, but now he discovered that there were 8 small craters on the meteorite. These small pits are about the same size as crystal nuclei, and they should be where the crystal nuclei are placed.
"Touch it and see if you can feel anything."
Wang Tao first put the meteorite into Ding Yuqin's hands.
This meteorite is still not light, but Ding Yuqin is no longer the weakling before, and it was easy to pick it up.
"Huh?"
When she touched the meteorite, Ding Yuqin let out a light sigh.
"I feel that there seems to be something inside this meteorite, but it requires... 8 fifth-order crystal nuclei to open it?"
Ding Yuqin was a little dumbfounded, and she doubted whether she felt wrong. .
8 fifth-order crystal nuclei?
After Wang Tao heard Ding Yuqin's words, he suddenly understood.
He had this feeling when he just touched the meteorite, but he was not sure if it was his psychological effect. After all, he had already seen the specific information of this meteorite, maybe he was psychologically suggested. .
However, it turns out that this is not his illusion, it is real.
That means that besides him, everyone else can also know that there is something hidden in this meteorite, and it requires 10 fifth-order crystal cores to open it!
Wang Tao asked others to test it again, and Han Rui and Wei Zhenguo could also vaguely sense the method of opening this crystal core.
But this outrageous opening condition made everyone confused.
After all, Wang Tao doesn’t even have many fourth-order crystal cores in his hand. Where can he get fifth-order crystal cores? There are still 8...
This crystal energy star meteorite can only be put away temporarily. I put it in the space backpack at the bottom of the box, and I will see if there is a chance to open it again later.
"Wang Tao! Another meteorite has fallen on the base over there! It's not far from us!"
At this time, Lan Yulian pointed in a direction.
Wang Tao took one look and immediately waved.
“Let’s go!”
Everyone started to go to the place where the second meteor fell.
After rescuing two groups of people on the way to avoid danger, Wang Tao and his party successfully arrived outside the crater.
You can see at a glance that there is a meteorite the size of a household bathtub in the middle of the crater!
"What a big meteorite!"
Wang Tao was a little surprised. There must be a lot of good things in such a big meteorite!
Wang Tao rushed into the flames and put the large and heavy meteorite into his space backpack.
[Obtain: Level 4·Crystal Energy Star Meteorite (Ordinary)*1]
[Level 4·Crystal Energy Star Meteorite (Ordinary): There is a universe inside, which can be opened (requires Level 4 Crystal nucleus*2)】
"Hey, this is different!"
This obviously larger meteorite is of fourth-level ordinary quality. It has two small pits that can hold crystal nuclei. To open it, you only need two. Just the fourth-order crystal core will do!
This is much less difficult than the fifth-level meteorite just now!
“Do you want to try it?”
Wang Tao was a little moved. He could still take out the two fourth-order crystal cores.
He immediately returned to Ding Yuqin and the others and said:
"You guys are looking at the direction of the other meteorites falling. I'll open one first to see what's inside!"
"Okay!"
Everyone responded.
Before using the crystal core to open it, Wang Tao wanted to see if he could smash this thing open directly. But after some experiments, Wang Tao found that it couldn't be opened at all.
"Sure enough, we still can't take chances..."
There is no other way but to use crystal cores.
Wang Tao took out two ordinary quality fourth-order crystal nuclei. Since he didn’t say what quality crystal nuclei were needed, he naturally used white ordinary quality crystal nuclei.
He placed these two crystal nuclei in two small craters on the surface of the meteorite.
After the crystal core was put in, it was immediately sucked.
The meteorite trembled slightly, and the crystal core lit up with a faint white light.
Crack——
This bathtub-sized meteorite looked like a ripe watermelon in front of everyone. First it cracked a crack, and then the crack spread.
Bang!
In the end, it split into two halves. Most of the place inside was filled with rocks, except for a small pit as big as a palm in the middle.
And inside this small pit, there is actually a crystal core?
The quality of white [fourth-order crystal core·self-destruction*1]?
“…”
Such a big meteorite, but there is only a palm-sized space inside? And it’s a crystal core?
It doesn’t matter if there is only one crystal core, is it a white quality fourth-order self-destructing crystal core?
Wang Tao used two fourth-order white crystal cores to open it!
"Blood loss!"
Wang Tao looked ugly.
It’s not that he can’t afford the loss, but that he feels cheated and is very unhappy.
Others were also speechless. They didn't expect that such a big meteorite would contain such garbage.
"Then it looks like this, this 'Crystal Energy Star Meteorite' cannot be opened casually, there is a possibility of losing money..."
Wang Tao shook his head helplessly.
At this time, several more meteorites fell towards the base in the distance.
"Let's go! Keep picking up meteorites!"
Wang Tao and his party moved towards the place where the fire was shining again.
This rain of meteorites looks scary, but not many of them fall within the base, and the base is very large... When all is said and done, the proportion of casualties caused by meteorites is not high.
Wang Tao also saved several groups of people. He didn't know how many times he was thanked. He also got several meteorites in his hand, but he didn't open any of them. After all, he is a little confused about the specific situation now, so he will study it later. Otherwise, if you lose money every time, you won't be able to play.
"Roar——"
Suddenly, everyone heard a roar, right inside the base!
Wang Tao frowned, could someone also raise a mutant beast?
Buzz~
At this time, the information watch on Wang Tao's wrist suddenly vibrated, and Duan Xuchang's voice sounded.
"Wang Tao, can you come here! We are on the street where we went with you today. There is a fourth-level monster here! There are many people around, and it is not easy to use heavy firepower. My motivation The armor has been sent for maintenance..."
"What! Wait for me!"
Wang Tao looked serious.
After confirming that the fourth-level monster Duan Xuchang was talking about was the roar he just heard, Wang Tao immediately led everyone there.
“Let’s go! Let’s go see what’s going on.”
……
Da da da—
“Help!”
"Don't run around!"
A certain square in the base was in chaos.
A monster with a dark body, a thick carapace, and several legs like sharp blades is wreaking havoc on everything it sees.
There was a lot of bright red blood at its feet, but no body. There are many ordinary people lying on the ground or hiding in corners next to it. The monster may have a blind spot, but I haven't seen anyone hiding around them yet.
Da da da——
More than twenty soldiers poured out firepower on this monster, but the carapace on this monster was too thick, and such small-caliber bullets were useless against it!
They took out heavy weapons, but did not dare to use them. After all, there were many people underneath this monster.
“Damn it! If I had known better, I wouldn’t have been so mean!”
In this army, there were several people dressed as survivors of the apocalypse. Among them was a skinny, bald man with a lustful look. crack.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already called someone over!”
Duan Xuchang immediately comforted him.
"Who?"
"Yes——"
Before Duan Xuchang finished speaking, his eyes suddenly blurred, and a burly figure appeared in front of the two of them. .
The bald man was startled, while Duan Xuchang looked surprised.
"You're here so soon!"
"I'm nearby." Wang Tao looked at the huge figure not far away, and he looked at Duan Xuchang with some confusion, "Captain Duan, how did this thing get in?" From the base? Can you climb over the high wall of the base? Or can you fly in? "
Is such a tall base unsafe?
Faced with Wang Tao's doubts, Duan Xuchang didn't say anything. The bald man next to him said with an annoyed look:
"It's all my fault! I just picked up a big piece in the crater. meteorite, I can feel there is something good in it The thing can be opened with crystal cores. I originally thought about trying it later, but I couldn't help it, so I opened it with 4 crystal cores - and a fourth-level monster popped out of it and I couldn't kill it! You’re such a damn person!”
Wang Tao: "..."
Even if you lose money by opening this "Crystal Energy Star Meteorite", can monsters pop out?
Wang Tao took a deep breath, and then said to the two of them:
"You are ready to save people, I will solve it!"
