Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot Chapter 1125 456 The Suspected Cave

Chapter 1125: Chapter 456: The Suspected Cave Chapter 1125: Chapter 456: The Suspected Cave “The Giant Eagle didn’t follow us!”

Seeing that the Giant Eagle hadn’t flown over the rift or gone around it, but instead landed on the dirt slope, everyone inside the Crystal Energy Car heaved a sigh of relief.

“Has it really given up?”

Qu Shilin still couldn’t quite believe it.

“It probably won’t e after us, at least not for now.”

Wang Tao said with a smile as he watched the figure of the Giant Eagle gradually disappear from sight.

“That’s great!”

Qu Shilin could still feel her heart pounding rapidly, the recent chase and flight over the rift had been too thrilling.

After a fierce chase, it was now broad daylight.

Wang Tao and the others took a look at the map and roughly estimated their location, then he said to everyone:

“Let’s hold off on the Level 5 Meteor for now, we need to hurry back and report this rift situation. But we can take a detour to check if the Snake Fruit is still there…”

Such rifts were too eerie and needed to be guarded against in advance. Plus, Wang Tao had a concern – what if a rift appeared inside Changhe Base? If one would show up inside the base, that could spell big trouble, so he had to go back and check.

But conveniently, on their way back, they would pass by the locale of the Snake Fruit, so Wang Tao planned to take a look. If it was still there, they’d transplant it back; if not, they would leave it.

“Understood!”

Everyone nodded, then became alert, getting ready for any dangers that might arise.

Although the Giant Eagle was no longer pursuing them, the Crystal Energy Car didn’t slow down much. The road was better here, so the ride was swift and smooth.

By evening time, Wang Tao arrived near the Snake Fruit.

“Are those Snake Fruits still there?”

After the car approached, Wang Tao peered through the snowstorm and saw those red fruits.

]trange Snake Fruit: Humans have a small chance of gaining Hidden Attributes after consumption, but a high likelihood of being poisoned with Deadly Poison. Serpentine creatures increase their strength slightly after eating it, and also have a small chance of Awakening.

Seeing that they indeed were Snake Fruits, Wang Tao grinned.

“It looks like these Snake Fruits are extremely cold-resistant! They even seem to have grown better than before the snowstorm…”

The Crystal Energy Car stopped near the Snake Fruit, and Wang Tao and his group got out.

Upon seeing the Snake Fruits, Qu Shilin’s eyes lit up, and she immediately suggested they could transplant them.

“If they can survive in such conditions, it means their Life Energy is very strong. We just need to be careful during the transplantation and dig them out with the soil around their roots; shouldn’t be a problem…”

Normally, they would first transplant some samples for testing, but Wang Tao didn’t have time to wait and planned to transplant them all at once.

Of course, Wang Tao wouldn’t take them all; he’d leave a small portion behind. Just in case the transplantation failed, this small portion would be a margin for error.

The ]trange Snake Fruit wasn’t very cost-effective for humans because the risk of poisoning was too high. Wang Tao had previously given some Snake Fruit to Qu Shilin for testing. She told Wang Tao that out of ten volunteers they took from the prison, not only did all of them get poisoned, but the venom was extremely potent as well. If they hadn’t been fully prepared, it could have been a plete disaster… Moreover, the volunteers had some lingering health issues afterwards; it wasn’t clear if they could be cured.

So, the toxicity of the ]trange Snake Fruit was much stronger than that of the [Strange Poison Sac]; it was highly dangerous for humans, and it was better not to take the risk.

But it was different for serpentine creatures. Not only was there a chance to enhance their Awakening, each consumption slightly increased their strength; obviously, the cost-benefit was much higher.

So, these Snake Fruits were clearly intended for Blacky and his five Black Snakes.

Blacky and the others hadn’t e along this time; they were home. Because they didn’t like the cold, and when the temperature dropped, they just wanted to sleep and couldn’t fight in the snow, so they had stayed home…

When Wang Tao left last time, he took all the Snake Fruits with him. Seeing them again, there were a lot more fruits, and it’s unknown how often the Serpent Fruit Tree matured… Of course, the quicker the better.

With everyone’s joint efforts, most of the Snake Fruits were dug out, roots and all.

The car was larger this time, and there was a special cargo bed in the back. Also, as the Serpent Fruit Trees were small, kind of like shrubs, there was no problem fitting the little trees.

After spending some time, they finally got most of the Serpent Fruit Trees onto the vehicle.

Looking at the barren hillside, Wang Tao gestured.

“Let’s go.”

Buzz—

The Crystal Energy Engine hummed gently, carrying everyone away from the area.

By now, night had fallen, but Wang Tao felt they were close to the base, so they didn’t stop and planned to return overnight. He Jijun pressed down on the accelerator, and in the middle of the night, the people in the car finally saw the snow-covered high walls.

“We’ve finally arrived!”

Shortly after, the Crystal Energy Car approached the southern gate.

Someone was on guard inside, waiting for Wang Tao and his group. When they saw someone returning, they immediately confirmed Wang Tao’s identity.

Once there was no problem with the identity check, the gate slowly opened, and the Crystal Energy Car drove in.

Looking at the familiar scenes within the base, everyone finally relaxed pletely.

“The air in the base is so much sweeter!”

Qu Shilin joked.

“That it is!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After a thorough check to ensure that none of Wang Tao’s group was infected and that the vehicle wasn’t carrying zombies, the soldiers saluted and opened the second gate.
