Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 771 - 304: Meteorite Rain_1
Chapter 771 -304: Meteorite Rain_1
Changhe Base, 7 o’clock in the evening.
Some streets were still bustling with traffic, and neon lights one after another flickered on.
Scantily clad women, vendors pushing carts, fortune-tellers mumbling to themselves, gangsters surrounded by onlookers engaged in fights…
The rich nightlife of Changhe Base had begun.
However, suddenly, people noticed a flickering red light before their eyes and, instinctively looking up, they saw that the night sky’s dark clouds had been tinged with a faint red hue without them noticing.
“What’s that…”
...
Everyone was somewhat bewildered.
Then a trail blazed past overhead with a red tail flame.
“A shooting star?”
People exclaimed in surprise, and some even began to make a wish with palms pressed together.
Then came a second red tail flame, and a third…
“Wow! A meteor shower!”
Now many people were getting excited, even those who weren’t superstitious started to make wishes.
Having seen a rainbow a few days ago, and now a meteor shower… Didn’t this foretell good fortune coming their way?
But some people were confused.
“Why does it feel… like some of the meteorites are headed straight for us?”
Buzz—
Suddenly, an ear-piercing alarm sounded throughout the streets and alleys.
“Level one alert! Meteorite incoming! Everyone, find shelter close by!”
“Level one alert! Meteorite incoming…”
Whoosh—
People were startled, and many were frozen for a moment in shock. But after all, they had lived through the apocalypse; although most of them might not be very strong, their survival instincts were still sharp.
Upon hearing the alarm and the messages from the broadcasts, people on the streets immediately began running into the buildings on both sides. Those who couldn’t get away in time took cover in the corners of the walls.
The expressions on people’s faces were filled with panic.
Meteor showers were beautiful, but if it was a meteor shower that could hit them, that was deadly!
“Don’t panic, everyone evacuate orderly!”
A fully armed squad of soldiers appeared; they were part of the City Defense Army that normally patrolled the base.
“Follow me, don’t push!”
There were also some uniformed personnel directing the crowd; these were the base’s police officers.

With the military and police present, the chaotic crowd quickly stabilized.
At that moment, suddenly a few people and a mutated large dog squeezed out from the crowd and ran toward where a meteorite was about to crash.
“Hey! You—”
A soldier in military attire was about to remind them that at times like this, even if you were an Ability User, it was best to take cover.
But he saw the person at the front of the group turn his head to look at him.
Boom—
The soldier felt as if he had been struck by an indescribable aura, those green eyes rendering him breathless!
Awakener!
The soldier immediately sealed his lips.
He didn’t expect that group to be led by Fourth-order Superpower users! If they encountered danger, his squad might all be killed while those people might be unscathed!
So he said no more, for those who could awaken to become Fourth-order Superpower users were certainly not fools.
On the other side, Wang Tao withdrew his gaze.
It wasn’t that he intentionally intimidated others; it was just that when he was serious, he naturally exuded an imposing aura.
“Head west!”
Wang Tao called out, and the rest followed immediately.
He had seen a meteorite about to crash inside the base, and he wanted to check out the situation.
When he first noticed the meteorites, Wang Tao too was shocked. But after a brief observation, he realized the meteorites were not targeting the base. Perhaps one or two might fall inside the base by chance, but most of them seemed to be crashing elsewhere. That’s why he dared to run out.
Otherwise, if a large number of meteorites were crashing towards the base, even as a Fourth-order Awakener, he wouldn’t dare to run around. After all, compared to natural disasters, his power was nothing.
Wang Tao made a rough estimate of where the meteorite was going to fall.
“It should land in that area ahead…”
There were buildings there, and many people had taken refuge inside. If the meteorite fell, those people were likely doomed!
“Everyone, leave this building!”
Wang Tao got to the outside and yelled at those inside.
Some people poked their heads out to look at him, but no one left. They took shelter inside, clearly unable to see the trajectory of the meteorite above their heads. The broadcast had just instructed them to find a nearby place to hide. Running out now, wouldn’t that be courting death?
If Wang Tao had been dressed in a military or police uniform, they might have trusted him more. But he was dressed like an ordinary survivor, though somewhat burly and likely an Ability User, but obviously the people’s trust in him wasn’t high.
Wang Tao frowned at their attitude, but he didn’t plan to say any more. After all, this wasn’t Zijin Base, and he couldn’t expect people to trust him unconditionally.
So, Wang Tao stretched out his hand and a fireball appeared in his palm.
The fireball grew larger, and an aura of destruction started to spread.
“Leave, or die.”
“….”
The survivors hiding in the building were taken aback.
Among them, there were experienced Ability Users who knew that Wang Tao’s fireball wasn’t an ordinary ability and was likely related to Awakening!
This was a Fourth Order Awakened One!
If a Fourth-order Awakener made a move against them, none of them might survive!
“Run, run now!”
Even though they didn’t understand why Wang Tao was doing this, between “dying right now” and “possibly dying later,” they distinctly chose the latter.
But many of them thought to themselves that if they survived today’s calamity, they definitely needed to secretly report Wang Tao!
