Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

Chapter 389: Chapter 180 Colonel Luo_3

“Can anyone hear me, I am survivor Wang Tao! I’m right below you!”

“…”

After sending several messages in a row, Wang Tao paused for a while to see if there was any response. The walkie-talkie can’t talk and listen at the same time, so after speaking, there has to be a pause to see what the other party has to say.

“Zzz… Zzz…”

It was still the sound of static.

Just as the plane was about to fly over his head, and Wang Tao thought all hope was lost, suddenly—

“Zzz… Survivor… Hello… Zzz…”

Wang Tao, who had been leaning back in his chair, suddenly sat up.

There was a response!

He looked at Jiang Shixue beside him, who nodded seriously.

“Brother, someone spoke.”

Indeed, it wasn’t an illusion!

Wang Tao immediately pressed the talk button again.

“My name is Wang Tao, may I ask who I am speaking to!”

“Zzz… My name is… Zzz… Luo Guozhong… Military rank… Colonel…”

The signal might not have been great, as it felt like the other party spoke very slowly, and some content was missing; the voice also came with static, but at least he heard the key words clearly.

Now that they could communicate, Wang Tao unashamedly started to make requests.

“Colonel Luo Guozhong, can you drop us some airdrops! We’re a group of survivors right below your plane! Thank you!”

“Zzz… Below… Survivors… Zzz… Wait a moment…”

“Huh? Does that mean yes?”

Wang Tao had only mentioned it casually, not expecting the other party to actually agree!

He immediately used the vehicle-mounted walkie-talkie to address everyone in the convoy:

“Attention everyone! Airdrops are about to fall!”

“Attention everyone! Airdrops are about to fall!”

“Attention everyone! Airdrops are about to fall!”

“Huh?”

The crowd was a bit stunned; the plane hadn’t dropped anything on its way and seemed like it was about to leave, so they had already given up hope. An airdrop now? And that wasn’t even the main point; the main point was, how did Wang Tao know? Could he even predict it?

But before people could ponder further, they saw a small black dot suddenly drop from the rear of the plane.

Then the second, the third… five black dots appeared in a row!

“Airdrops! They are really airdrops!”

The crowd was completely dumbfounded; had Wang Tao really predicted this? Were Level 2 Ability users that terrifying?

“Quick! Everyone else in groups of two vehicles, and I will pair up with Wang Tao separately to collect the airdrops!”

Although Zhang Hong was also shocked, he quickly assigned tasks to everyone. With five airdrops and eight vehicles, they split into five groups.

Although the plane had dropped five airdrops one after the other, because of its high speed, there was a significant gap between where each of the airdrops would land. To be efficient, it was naturally better to split up and collect them.

After the assignments, seven vehicles instantly dispersed, each heading towards the direction of the airdrops.

As for Wang Tao’s vehicle, it continued to move forward since the airdrop he was collecting was the last one, the farthest from the rest.

Of course, Wang Tao also wanted to talk more with the people on the plane.

“Colonel Luo, does the Government still have a military? What is the situation across the nation now? What is the status of your military base? I want to seek refuge in your military base; that shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Wang Tao hurriedly asked all the questions he had in mind.

Had the environment been suitable and there had been an airstrip nearby, Wang Tao might have even asked Colonel Luo to stop the plane for a moment and give him a ride—although it was a bit of wishful thinking, there was still a slight possibility.

Fearing that the other party couldn’t hear clearly, Wang Tao repeated his words several times.

After a moment, a voice came through again.

“Zzz… Our base… Safe… Not safe… We provide shelter… Don’t come… Zzz…”

“Huh?”

Hearing this, Wang Tao frowned.

How could it be safe one moment, not safe the next, offering shelter then telling people not to come?

Wasn’t this contradictory?

The poor signal might have resulted in key information not coming through, which was rather frustrating.

As the plane began to move away from him, Wang Tao quickly said:

“Colonel Luo Guozhong, my name is Wang Tao! I will be going to your base! I hope I can see you next time!”

He had to make sure the other party remembered his name, at least to become somewhat familiar.

“Zzz… Wang Tao… Zzz… Zzz…”

The hoarse voice of the other party muttered Wang Tao’s name and then the signal was lost.

The plane slowly turned into a small black dot in Wang Tao’s view before gradually disappearing.

Looking up at the clear sky, Wang Tao felt a small regret.

Even though he had made contact with the colonel pilot, unfortunately, he didn’t get much information.

But at least he had made himself known, which might be useful in the future.

For now, the military base seemed to be very safe, and he wouldn’t change his plan to go there.

“Little Jun, let’s go collect the airdrop.”

Wang Tao said to Xu Xiaojun as they had already passed the airdrop location while he was busy making contact with the pilot.

“Sure!”

Xu Xiaojun immediately turned the vehicle around, excitedly heading towards the recent airdrop that had landed.

Soon, the SUV arrived near the airdrop.

Luckily, this airdrop had landed right on the roof of a two-story building beside the road, emitting red smoke and was highly visible. There was no further need to look for it.

Wang Tao got out of the car and with a sprint, quickly climbed up.

He didn’t open the airdrop there; instead, he pushed the crate off the roof.

Thud—

The airdrop crate fell onto the grass beside it.

Xu Xiaojun immediately rolled up his sleeves, lifted the entire crate, and then placed it on the roof of the SUV.

“Let’s go, let’s regroup.”

The vehicle drove back for a while, and soon they saw the first vehicle, the second vehicle… Before long, all eight vehicles regrouped.

An excited Zhang Hong spoke into the vehicle’s walkie-talkie:

“We collected all five airdrops! Let’s go, the sun’s setting, we need to find a place to rest!”

“Yeah!”

The rest of the group was equally excited; they had never before experienced such a bountiful haul.
