Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1456 - 605: A Large Number of Sixth-Rank Zombies

Whoosh——

"What a heavy rain!"

Three days after the rain started, at the edge of the Barrier, Wang Tao shook his head helplessly while looking at the waterfall-like rain pouring down on the barrier.

Such intense corrosive acid rain, most people would probably not be able to withstand it for very long. Wang Tao also didn’t want to stay in this environment any longer than necessary, his main goal was to test the strength of the current corrosive acid rain and to check out the situation outside.

"Let’s go."

Wang Tao waved his hand, and Golden Eagle immediately passed through the Barrier.

Whoosh——

The rain instantly fell on Wang Tao and Golden Eagle, both of them somewhat unaccustomed to it. At the same time, a negative Status appeared on each of their heads.

[Corrosive Acid Rain: The body is slightly corroded, resting for a while will restore to normal]

This slight corrosive Status didn’t affect Wang Tao much for the time being, so he didn’t pay it much attention, and instead looked outside the gates of the base.

Looking at the scene that resembled a vast ocean, Wang Tao couldn’t help being astounded.

I guess most bases couldn’t withstand this level of flooding?

Wouldn’t it be a tragic irony if, after barely surviving this cold winter, one was drowned by the flood?

But soon, Wang Tao felt relieved.

The floodwater outside looked quite scary, but it actually wasn’t that deep, not even reaching up to Wang Tao’s calves.

And there was another important point—the flow of the water outside wasn’t too rapid; one could stand firm in it.

The reason flooding is feared is mainly because of its fast flow speed! The flood might not be deep itself, but because of the turbulent flow, people can’t stand steady and are swept away by the current. Right now, without using any strength, Wang Tao was simply standing in the water using his own weight. For many people, this wouldn’t be fatal, and they could certainly escape.

Of course, this was only the situation at the entrance of Changhe Base; Wang Tao did not know what it was like elsewhere.

But then again, the rainstorm had been coming down for three days without stopping and yet there was only this much water accumulation outside? This surprised Wang Tao a bit...

"Xiao Jin, let’s fly a bit further."

Wang Tao was ready to take a look at other places.

Chirp——

Golden Eagle chirped reluctantly, carrying Wang Tao and flying away.

It did not like water, nor the corrosive acid rain, and it hated the feeling of its wings getting wet. If it hadn’t been for Wang Tao calling it, it would definitely not have wanted to come out.

"Haha, turned into a drenched chicken!"

Wang Tao laughed and patted Golden Eagle’s feathers.

After flying for a while with Golden Eagle, except for the heavier rainfall, they did not encounter any zombies.

From Wang Tao’s previous experience, zombies would usually enjoy the rain fully, so even if they had thawed, they would most likely be getting drenched without moving much. If the rain stopped, there would probably be a large number of zombies appearing.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Wang Tao noticed that the speed of water accumulation under his feet had somewhat accelerated, but it wasn’t heading towards Changhe Base, but rather in the opposite direction.

"Let’s go ahead and have a look!"

Wang Tao asked Golden Eagle to continue flying forward, the further they went, the more rapid the water flow became, and it started to resemble a flood.

Whoosh——

When Wang Tao arrived at the most fierce part of the water flow, looking at the pouring waterfall with a momentum like a herd of stampeding horses, he was so surprised that his mouth hung open.

"Holy moly! No wonder the current is getting stronger... all of it is flowing into the Rifts!"

Some of Wang Tao’s previous doubts were immediately resolved—no wonder there was not much water accumulation outside despite the heavy rain falling for three days; it turns out most of the rainwater and melted snow were flowing into these Rifts!

These Rifts acted like water reservoirs; if not for them absorbing the water, the surface might actually have been hit by a major flood! In a sense, humanity should be thankful for these Rifts...

"Guess this counts as a stroke of good luck..."

Once Wang Tao confirmed that the water was flowing into the Rifts, he temporarily felt at ease. At least there was no need to worry about a major flood.

The space inside the Rifts was massive, with the ability to store a lot of water. The only pity was that some Rifts were used for building settlements in Changhe Base. Although the people had retreated because of the heavy rainfall, avoiding casualties, those bases that were laboriously built inside were now wasted. And obviously, those Rifts could no longer be visited, and it was no longer possible to hunt the Monsters inside...

Of course, you win some, you lose some. Avoiding a large-scale flood disaster was already quite fortunate, and such losses were worth it.

Wang Tao then rode Golden Eagle to several other Rifts nearby to check; the situation was similar to the first Rift, with melted snow and rainwater both flowing into these Rifts. The Rifts were like bottomless abysses, seemingly able to swallow endless amounts of water.

Besides the Rifts, Wang Tao had not yet found any other abnormalities. He glanced at his Attributes.

[Corrosive Acid Rain: The body is moderately corroded, resting for a longer time will restore to normal]

The degree of corrosion had become moderate.

Wang Tao had done tests before; it seemed the corrosive intensity of the corrosive acid rain was not much related to strength but more to HP. And Wang Tao’s 1 million HP had long been maxed out, so even though he was Level 6, he couldn’t stay in the corrosive acid rain for any longer.

"Let’s go back."

Chirp——

Hearing they could finally return, Golden Eagle immediately chirped with joy and flew back towards Changhe Base.

After returning to the base, Wang Tao went to City Hall and convened a meeting with Gu Yun and the others.
