Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1526 - 638: Successive Ascension to Level 6_2

Among Wang Tao’s group, currently only Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue, Han Rui, and Little Bing have control abilities.

Jiang Shixue’s control ability is [Marionette]; it’s a very strong Awakened power that can directly manipulate opponents. However, Jiang Shixue is only a Sixth Rank Lord, and the opponent is a Sixth Rank Disaster. Under the suppression of levels, the control duration would be very short.

In daily combat, the control duration from Jiang Shixue’s ability is sufficient. But the Sea Beast is different; it can directly dive into the water to escape. Therefore, it must be killed within the control duration; otherwise, once it enters the water, there would be no way to kill it.

Han Rui’s [Gale Chains] is also a good Awakened ability, controlling the Wind Element to bind the target like chains. Although Han Rui can’t control the opponent’s movements, she can immobilize them. This ability fits perfectly with the current situation; Wang Tao doesn’t need to control the Sea Beast, he just needs to prevent it from escaping.

Little Bing’s control ability is [Frost Shot], which can freeze the target solid. In theory, as long as Little Bing continuously uses her ability, she could keep the opponent under control, but this is under the premise that the opponent’s Level isn’t too high. Currently, Little Bing is only Level 5, and there is a significant difference compared to a Sixth Rank Disaster, so it would be challenging to control it.

Wang Tao’s control ability is somewhat similar to Jiang Shixue’s, as both are of the Psychic System. However, Wang Tao’s control was developed through [Mental development], and he doesn’t specialize in it. Moreover, those familiar with Psychic abilities know that if you can’t control it properly, it might result in a backlash. Even if the control is successful, Wang Tao is uncertain how long he can maintain it...

As for the things in Wang Tao’s possession before, such as Slime Grenades and the like, those can only control low-level creatures and are ineffective against Intermediate Level ones.

Therefore, relying solely on their control abilities, Wang Tao felt that it wasn’t very safe.

Wang Tao’s final decision was to call up all controlled ability users of Changhe Base and have them all join together!

Control abilities are quite evidently suppressed by level, making success difficult, and even if successful, the duration would be short. But with enough people controlling, it would always be effective and also extend the duration of control.

After such a long time of development, Changhe Base now has a large number of Ability Users and Awakeners, and while the number of people with control abilities is relatively small, that is only by comparison. Truly, gathering these individuals would not be a small number.

The base has provided them so much in resources; it’s time for them to give back.

Of course, Wang Tao will try his best to ensure their safety, as it’s impossible to send them to their deaths. After all, they are the future of Changhe Base.

With so many people participating, they should be able to control the Sea Beast for some time. Wang Tao doesn’t need much time to kill the Sea Beast!

After the decision was made, City Hall immediately notified everyone.

This "fishing plan" is a mandatory mission released by the City Hall, and those who fit the criteria must participate.

Since the establishment of the base, there have been only a few mandatory missions. The previous two mandatory missions occurred when the base had just been built and faced survival crises.

However, because the base was just constructed at that time, there were no rewards for the mandatory missions.

Now it’s different; although this mission is compulsory, the rewards are very generous.

Moreover, it’s made very clear in the announcement that this mission is related to Changhe Base’s survival crisis; if the lurking Sixth Rank Disaster Sea Beast outside isn’t eliminated, Changhe Base will no longer be able to draw water. Eliminating the Sea Beast means protecting their water resource!

Therefore, the base’s combat personnel are very eager, even those who do not meet the conditions wish to participate in the battle.

The City Hall began strict screening, as the mission still has a certain level of danger. After all, the control abilities wouldn’t be effective from too far away; they need to be within a certain distance of the target. Thus, there can’t be incompetent participants as that would not support Wang Tao but hold him back.

One day later, City Hall finally chose the right people.

The reason it took a whole day was not due to the inefficiency of the City Hall, but because they needed to wait for some people to awaken, such as Cheng Yiyi.

Cheng Yiyi previously took Wang Tao’s Crystal Core for Ascension and, after a day’s time, finally became a Sixth Rank Awakened!

Wang Tao had previously taken out many Crystal Cores, all sold to the City Hall. Not only Cheng Yiyi but other people were also Ascending and Awakening.

After a little more than a day, they all awoke. These were also combat forces, naturally, they had to wait for them.

Now, the overall strength of Changhe Base has taken a significant step up from before!

It could be said that Changhe Base has never been stronger.

This also greatly boosted the confidence of those within the base; it was just a Sixth Rank Disaster after all, and with so many of them taking it on together, victory was certain!

However, to be safe, they didn’t immediately set out but instead continued training at the base for three more days.

After three days, everything was ready. Wang Tao led these more than a thousand people away from Changhe Base.

The Golden Eagle couldn’t carry so many people at once, so most of them traveled by vehicle. Only members of the Starfire Society, City Hall, committee, and the few main legions were on the Golden Eagle.

"It’s been a long time since we’ve had such a large-scale operation, it reminds me of the military exercises before the apocalypse..."

The Army Commander of the Third Legion wiped the sweat from his forehead and remarked with a hint of nostalgia.

"Indeed!"

The other Army Commanders nodded in agreement.

Although this time it was only a thousand people, incomparable to the numbers in some large-scale military exercises, the strength of these thousand wasn’t something ordinary humans could match. Each of them started at Level 4, with over a dozen Sixth Rank Awakened leading the teams, and the combat power spearheaded by Changhe Base’s top expert, Wang Tao... Such formidable strength, just looking at the statistics was exhilarating! The real combat scene, they could hardly imagine.

Now they weren’t worried about whether they could kill the Sixth Rank Disaster — as long as they could lure it out, it was as good as dead. There was no doubt about it.

What they worried about now was, with so many people attacking at once, they had to make sure not to hit their own.

After all, these people weren’t soldiers, and couldn’t achieve immediate obedience. They had trained for three days, but reaching the level of the army in three days was, of course, impossible.

Fortunately, there were quite a number of healers in the base, and they all came along this time. As long as there were no fatal injuries, they could be saved...

"It’s just a bit too hot outside, this temperature... it’s already fifty degrees! Damn!"

Someone checked the thermometer and cursed quietly.

Within the barrier, it was only twenty-five or twenty-six degrees; stepping out felt like entering a steam room.

If it was just this hot, it would still be bearable, but the temperature kept rising. Looking at the trend, it wouldn’t be impossible for it to reach eighty or a hundred degrees in the future. Then humanity would be completely unable to survive!

However, the urgent matter at hand was to deal with the sea beast, other matters could be postponed for the time being.

In the midst of discussion, the rift had already come into sight.

Wang Tao didn’t let the Golden Eagle continue flying forward but directed the people on the ground to get ready for combat. Once everyone found their positions according to the training and were ready to attack, Wang Tao then threw the mutated pigs, which had been prepared in advance, from the back of the Golden Eagle, with three steel cables firmly aiding the pigs.

A total of three mutated pigs: one dead; one not dead but bleeding from a wound; one perfectly alive.

Three different flavors, surely one would attract the sea beast, right?

But after waiting for a while, the water surface remained very calm.

"It couldn’t have really left, could it?"

Wang Tao frowned.

At this moment, he certainly didn’t like the idea of the sea beast having left, as they had prepared such a large-scale operation; if they didn’t achieve anything, it would be a major loss.

Just then, Wang Tao suddenly noticed a dark shadow appearing under the water.

"Here it comes, get ready—" Before Wang Tao finished speaking, he suddenly widened his eyes.

This shadow under the water... something’s off!
