Chapter 304: Meteorite Rain
Changhe base, seven o'clock in the evening.
Some of the streets are still bustling with traffic, lit up with neon-colored lights.
Scantily clad women, vendors pushing carts, chattering fortune tellers, thugs who are surrounded by people to gamble......
The abundant nightlife of the Changhe base began.
But suddenly, everyone felt some red light flickering in front of them, and subconsciously looked up, and found that they didn't know when, the clouds in the dark night sky were dyed with a faint layer of red.
"What's that......"
Everyone was a little dazed.
Then I saw something dragging a red tail flame flying over everyone's heads.
"Shooting stars?"
The crowd exclaimed, and even some began to fold their hands and make a wish.
Then there is the second red tail flame, and the third ......
"Wow! Meteor shower! β
At this moment, many people are a little excited, and even those who are not superstitious have begun to prepare to make wishes.
I saw a rainbow the other day and a meteor shower today...... Isn't that a sign that something good is coming!
However, there are also people who have doubts.
"How does it feel...... How many meteors are flying towards us? β
Buzz β
Suddenly, screeching sirens sounded in the streets.
"Level 1 Alert! Meteorites are coming! Everyone is looking for cover nearby! β
"Level 1 Alert! Meteorite strikes ......"
Wow β
Everyone was shocked, and many people were stunned for a moment. But after all, it is also a person who has experienced the end of the world, although the strength of most people may not be good, but the awareness of saving life is still very high.
Upon hearing the sirens and the words on the radio, the people on the street immediately began to run towards the buildings on either side. Those who couldn't run away for the time being hid in the corner.
The faces of the people were a little frightened.
Meteor showers are beautiful, but if it's a meteor shower that smashes into you, it's deadly!
"Don't panic, everyone evacuates in an orderly manner!"
A group of heavily armed soldiers appeared, this is the city defense force that usually patrols the base.
"Come with me, don't squeeze!"
There are also some people in uniform who are evacuating the crowd, which are the police inside the base.
With the military and police, the panicked crowd suddenly stabilized a lot.
At this time, suddenly several people and a mutated big dog squeezed out of the crowd and ran towards the place where a meteorite fell.
"Hey! You-"
A soldier in a military uniform was about to remind the other party that at this time, even if you are an alien, it is better to hide.
But at the very front of the group, one of them turned his head to look at him.
Boom β
The soldier felt as if he had been hit by an indescribable momentum in an instant, and those green eyes directly made him breathless!
The Awoken!
The soldier immediately shut his mouth.
He didn't expect that group of people to be led by fourth-order abilities! If they are really in danger, all the people in their team will die, and everyone may be fine!
So he didn't say more, after all, people who can awaken and become fourth-order abilities can't be fools.
On the other side, Wang Tao retracted his gaze.
It's not that he deliberately scares people, but that he has his own momentum when he gets serious.
"Go west!"
Wang Tao greeted him, and everyone immediately followed.
He saw that a meteorite was about to fall inside the base, and he wanted to see what was going on.
When these meteorites were discovered for the first time, Wang Tao was also taken aback. However, after a little observation, he found that these meteorites did not hit the base. Occasionally one or two may have landed in the base, but most of the meteorites don't know where they went. That's why he dared to rush out.
Otherwise, if a large number of meteorites smashed into the base, even if he was a fourth-order ability, he would not dare to run around. After all, compared to natural disasters, his strength is really not enough.
Wang Tao slightly predicted where the meteorite would fall.
"It should fall in the area up ahead......"
There was a building there, and there were quite a few people hiding in it. If this meteorite falls, these people will probably die!
"Everybody get out of this building!"
Wang Tao came to the outside of the building and yelled inside.
Someone inside looked at him, but no one left. These people were hiding inside, apparently unable to see the trajectory of the meteorite overhead. I just said on the radio that you have to find a place to hide nearby. If you run out at this time, isn't it looking for death!
If Wang Tao was wearing a military uniform or a police uniform, they might still believe it. But Wang Tao is dressed as an ordinary survivor...... Although he is a bit burly and should be an anomaly, the trust of the crowd in him is obviously not high.
Wang Tao frowned at the attitude of these people, but he was not ready to say more. After all, this is not a Bauhinia base, and it is impossible for others to believe in him unconditionally.
So Wang Tao stretched out his hand, and a fireball appeared in his hand.
The fireball grew larger and larger, and an aura of destruction began to spread.
"Leave, or die."
ββ¦β¦β
The survivors hiding inside the building were dumbfounded.
There are also well-informed abilities among them, who know that Wang Tao's fireball is not an ordinary ability, and it is likely to be related to awakening!
This is a fourth-order awakened person!
A fourth-order awakened person made a move against them, and they might not survive alone!
"Run, run!"
Although they don't know why Wang Tao did this, they clearly chose the latter between "die now" and "may die later".
But many people are thinking in their hearts that if they don't die today, they must secretly report Wang Tao when they go back!
Even if the Alien has privileges and the Awakened have great privileges, it is impossible to threaten so many people on such an occasion!
Wang Tao naturally didn't know what these people thought, and even if he knew, it didn't matter, he looked at the building where the group of people left calmly, and then looked at the sky.
"It's coming!"
A meteorite dragging a red tail flame is getting bigger and bigger!
Wang Tao and the others immediately retreated.
And thenβ
Rumble!
There was a loud bang, and the earth shook!
The meteorite smashed into the building just now.
The entire building was flattened in an instant, and the scorching flames erupted, and those who had not left in the distance were burned to the ground in the heat and their cheeks ached.
"Everyone's alright, right?"
Wang Tao looked back at everyone.
"It's fine!"
"Wang!"
Everyone answered.
Wang Tao saw that everyone was not injured, he looked at the sky again, and made sure that there was no second meteorite left behind for the time being, so he ran towards the place where the meteorite fell.
"Let's go!"
The fireball in Wang Tao's hand had not been extinguished or thrown out. After all, he wasn't sure what the meteorite would be or if there was any danger in it. At the same time, Wang Tao also stared at his blood bar to see if there was any negative status.
But fortunately, everyone kept coming to the crater that was smashed by the meteorite, and there was no danger.
"What a big pit!"
In a cloud of fire and smoke, a huge crater about the size of a basketball court appeared.
And in this crater, there is a meteorite the size of a face disk.
"That's what fell from the sky...... Could it be some kind of extraterrestrial divine iron? β
Yang Changhong muttered.
"I'll go get it."
There were flames below, but Wang Tao was not afraid of fire, and soon came to the side of this meteorite.
"Huh?"
However, after seeing the meteorite up close, Wang Tao was stunned for a moment.
This meteorite turned out to have a name!
After making sure that there was no danger around, Wang Tao immediately extinguished the fireball in his hand, and then put his hand on the hot meteorite, and the meteorite disappeared instantly.
[Obtain: 5th Order: Crystal Star Meteorite (Excellent)*1]
[5th Order: Crystal Star Meteorite (Excellent): Contains a universe inside, which can be opened (requires 5th order crystal nucleus*8]
"Shhhh
Seeing the attributes of this meteorite, Wang Tao was a little surprised.
This turned out to be a fifth-order superior quality stone!
And it seems that there is something good hidden inside, and it can be opened!
But to open this meteorite, you need 8 fifth-order crystal nuclei!
Outrageous!
Not to mention the fifth-order crystal nucleus, he had only seen a fifth-order zombie until now, and it was still an extremely terrifying disaster zombie! So where did you get so many fifth-order crystal nuclei!
But does this mean that there are really good things in this? After all, generally speaking, the effort is proportional to the gain!
Wang Tao searched the pit again, and after making sure that there was nothing else here except this meteorite, Wang Tao returned to the crowd.
"What's next?"
Ding Yuqin asked curiously.
Wang Tao stretched out his hand, and a meteorite the size of a basin appeared in his hand. This meteorite was originally piping hot, but after he put it in the space backpack and took it out, it became a normal temperature.
Wang Tao didn't look closely just now, but now he found that there were 8 small craters on this meteorite. These small pits are about the same size as crystal nuclei, and they should be the ones where the crystal nuclei are placed.
"You touch it and see if you can feel anything."
Wang Tao first put the meteorite in Ding Yuqin's hands.
This meteorite is still not light, but Ding Yuqin is no longer the weak chicken before, and it is easy to pick it up.
"Huh?"
And when he touched the meteorite, Ding Yuqin sighed softly.
"I feel like there's something in this meteorite, but it needs to be ...... 8 fifth-order crystal nuclei to open? β
Ding Yuqin was a little dumbfounded, she was a little skeptical if she felt wrong.
8 fifth-order crystal nuclei?
And after Wang Tao heard Ding Yuqin's words, he suddenly knew in his heart.
He had this feeling when he first touched this meteorite, but he wasn't sure if it was his psychological effect, after all, he had already seen the specific information of this meteorite, maybe it was psychologically suggested.
However, it turned out that this was not his delusion, it was real.
That is to say, apart from him, everyone else can also know that there is something hidden in this meteorite, and it takes 10 fifth-order crystal nuclei to open it!
Wang Tao let others test it again, and Han Rui and Wei Zhenguo could also vaguely sense the method of opening this crystal nucleus.
But this outrageous opening condition made everyone very confused.
After all, Wang Tao didn't even have many fourth-order crystal nuclei in his hands, so where to get a fifth-order crystal nucleus, it was still 8......
This Crystal Energy Star Meteorite can only be placed in the space backpack for the time being to press the bottom of the box, and then see if there is a chance to open it again.
"Wang Tao! There's another meteorite landing at the base over there! It's not far from us! β
At this time, Lan Yulian pointed in a direction.
Wang Tao glanced at it and immediately waved his hand.
"Let's go!"
The crowd began to make their way to the place where the second meteor fell.
After rescuing two groups of people to avoid danger on the way, Wang Tao and his party successfully came to the outside of this crater.
At a glance, you can see that in the middle of the crater, there is a meteorite the size of a household bathtub!
"What a big meteorite!"
There was some surprise in Wang Tao's eyes, such a big meteorite, there must not be a lot of good things in it!
Wang Tao hurriedly broke into the flames and put this large and heavy meteorite into the space backpack.
[Obtain: 4th Order: Crystal Star Meteorite (Normal)*1]
[Fourth-Order: Crystal Star Meteorite (Normal): Contains Qiankun inside, can be opened (requires Fourth-Order Crystal Nucleus*2)]
"Hey, this one is different!"
This obviously larger meteorite is of the fourth-order ordinary quality, and it has two small pits on it that can put crystal nuclei, and if you want to open it, you only need two fourth-order crystal nuclei!
This is much less difficult than the fifth-order meteorite just now!
"Would you like to give it a try?"
Wang Tao was a little moved, he could still take out the two fourth-order crystal nuclei.
He immediately returned to Ding Yuqin's side and said:
"You look at the direction where the other meteorites are falling, I'll open one first and see what's inside!"
"Good!"
The crowd responded.
Before opening it with the crystal nucleus, Wang Tao wanted to try to see if he could smash this thing directly. But after some experiments, Wang Tao found that he couldn't smash it at all.
"Sure enough, you still can't be opportunistic......"
There is no way, but to use crystal nuclei.
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.
He placed the two crystal nuclei in two small craters on the meteorite's exterior.
After the crystal nucleus was put in, it was immediately sucked.
The meteorite shuddered slightly, and the crystal nuclei lit up with a faint white glow.
Click-
The bathtub-sized meteorite looked like a ripe watermelon in front of everyone, first cracking a crack and then spreading the crack.
Bang!
Eventually, it split in half, and most of it was made of stones, except for a palm-sized pit in the middle.
And in this small pit, it turned out to be a crystal nucleus?
White quality [Fourth-Order Crystal Nucleus: Self-Detonation*1]?
ββ¦β¦β
Such a large meteorite, but there is only a palm-sized space inside? And a crystal nucleus?
Forget if there is only one crystal nucleus, or is it a fourth-order self-exploding crystal nucleus of white quality?
Wang Tao used two fourth-order white crystal nuclei to open it!
"Blood loss!"
Wang Tao's face was ugly.
It's not that he can't afford to lose, but he feels cheated and very unhappy.
The others were also speechless, they didn't expect such a big meteorite to be such a piece of garbage inside.
"In that case, this 'Crystal Energy Star Meteorite' can't be opened casually, and there is a possibility of losing money......"
Wang Tao shook his head helplessly.
At this time, several meteorites fell towards the base in the distance.
"Let's go! Go ahead and pick up meteorites! β
Wang Tao and his party once again headed towards the place where the flames were shining.
This meteorite rain looks strange and scary, but it doesn't fall much in the base, and the base area is very large...... This is evenly distributed, and the proportion of casualties hit by meteorites is not high.
Wang Tao has also saved several groups of people, and he doesn't know how many times he has been thanked. He also got several meteorites in his hand, but he didn't open them. After all, he doesn't understand the specific situation now, so he will go back and study it. Otherwise, if you lose money every time, you won't be able to play.
"Roarβ"
Suddenly, everyone heard a roar, and it was inside the base!
Wang Tao frowned, could it be that someone also raised mutant beasts?
Buzzing~
At this time, the information watch on Wang Tao's wrist suddenly vibrate, and Duan Xuchang's voice sounded.
"Wang Tao, can you come here! We are on the street where we went with you today, and there is a fourth-order monster here! There are a lot of people around, and it's not easy to use heavy firepower, so my power armor was sent for maintenance......"
"What! Fourth-Order Monster! Wait for me! β
Wang Tao's face was serious.
After confirming that the fourth-order monster Duan Xuchang was talking about was the roar he heard just now, Wang Tao immediately led everyone over.
"Let's go! Let's go see what's going on. β
β¦β¦
Da Da Da β
"Help!"
"Don't run around!"
Somewhere in the square inside the base, there was chaos at this time.
A monster covered in pitch black, with a heavy carapace and blade-like legs, was wreaking havoc on everything it saw.
There were a lot of bright red blood at its feet, but there were no corpses. Next to it, there are many ordinary people lying on the ground or hiding in the corner, and the monster may have a blind spot, and I don't see that there are still people hiding around these for the time being.
Da Da Da β
More than twenty soldiers poured fire on this monster, but the carapace on this monster was too thick, and this small-caliber bullet was useless against it at all!
They took out heavy weapons, but they didn't dare to use them, after all, there were still quite a few people under this monster.
"Damn it! If you knew it, you wouldn't be cheap! β
In this army, there were several people dressed as survivors of the end times, and one of them, a slender, bald man, was staring at him.
"Don't worry, I've already called someone over!"
Duan Xuchang immediately comforted.
"Who?"
"Yesβ"
Before Duan Xuchang finished speaking, he suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and a burly figure appeared in front of the two.
The bald man was startled, while Duan Xuchang was 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 puzzlement, "Captain Duan, how did this thing enter the base?" Can you climb over the walls of the base? Or can you fly in? β
Could it be that such a tall base is not safe anymore?
In the face of Wang Tao's doubts, Duan Xuchang hadn't spoken yet, and the bald man next to him said with a look of annoyance:
"It's all my fault! I just picked up a big meteorite in the crater and I can feel the good stuff in there that can be opened with a crystal nucleus! I originally thought about trying again later, but I couldn't help it, so I opened it with 4 crystal nuclei - and it turned out that such a fourth-order monster popped out of it! Killed quite a few ordinary people! I'm damned! β
Wang Tao: "......"
Turn on this "Crystal Energy Star Meteorite" and lose money, but you can still pop out of the monster?
Wang Tao took a deep breath, and then said to the two:
"You're ready to save someone, I'll take care of it!"
