Chapter 140 The overall strength of the base has improved.
"What's wrong?"
Han Rui asked strangely.
"It's okay..."
Wang Tao shook his head, but he didn't say that outrageous idea.
Although it is possible, there is no need to say it now. He had to find an opportunity to come back and explore the reality of this green-eyed zombie...
On the way back, everyone saw another destroyed street.
"The orangutan zombies are here!"
Everyone felt a little heavy.
According to the frequency of destruction by the orangutan zombies, it feels like we will be able to find the Mizusawa base soon!
There are hundreds of people in the Shuize base, and it is impossible to hide them. As long as it is discovered by the orangutan zombie, it will definitely not give up...
To become stronger, you have to become stronger!
There were no twists and turns on the way back, and we returned to the base smoothly.
In the conference room, Wang Tao told everyone about the situation he encountered on the first floor of the hospital.
Everyone was a little envious when they heard that Wang Tao could kill dozens or even dozens of elite zombies with just one strike, and they didn't resist. This sounds great!
But when Wang Tao mentioned that he saw a pair of green eyes on the second floor, everyone shuddered subconsciously.
Because everyone thinks that the reason why those elite zombies have become so stupid may have something to do with the owner of these eyes!
If Wang Tao and Han Rui had not left in time, would they have become as stupid as those zombies?
It’s scary to think about it!
"Then we won't be able to go to the hospital in the future?"
Xiang Hongbin felt a little regretful.
Except that there are so many elite zombies here in the hospital, the elite zombies in other places have to be found slowly, which is very labor-intensive.
Wang Tao thought for a while and said:
"That's not... that zombie underground in the hospital. It should have been there a long time ago. At least it might have been there when the orangutan zombie went there. We hunted there again later. Many elite zombies have never come out. So it is also possible that it is unwilling or unable to come out? Of course, this is just my guess. How specific it is, we have to observe and observe. It is better not to go to the hospital for the time being, and wait until we come back. I'll go and investigate carefully."
Along the way, Wang Tao was thinking about the green-eyed zombie with 15,000 HP under the hospital.
According to the current situation, there are a total of four second-level zombies in Shuize County.
The zombie Shao Yong has been killed by him, and the hooded zombie has also been killed by him. Now there are only the gorilla zombies and the green-eyed zombie under the hospital.
If these two second-level zombies are killed, Wang Tao will most likely be promoted to the second level!
But the problem is, if Wang Tao cannot advance to the second level, he will not be able to kill these two second-level zombies!
This seems to be a dead end.
However, Wang Tao is not discouraged. After all, all the hooded zombies were killed by a group of first-level people like them. It is not impossible to kill the green-eyed zombies in the hospital and the orangutan zombies outside... The topic of green-eyed zombies is
temporarily After uncovering it, the next step is the crystal core.
On the way back, Wang Tao fused all the crystal nuclei that could be fused, and now he has taken out all of them.
"I'll go! So many crystal nuclei!"
Everyone exclaimed as they looked at the crystal nuclei that Wang Tao took out.
"Take what you need, and leave some of it to train the base's superpowers."
Wang Tao said with a smile.
Wang Tao originally thought that they should not be in a hurry to fuse other crystal cores, otherwise the second level might require a lot of promotion crystal cores, which would be very troublesome.
But after hunting hooded zombies, fighting gorilla zombies, and seeing the green-eyed zombie underground in the hospital, Wang Tao felt that it was not a question of whether they could advance to the second level, but if the gorilla zombies came to the base now, what would everyone do? An unstoppable problem.
Therefore, how much strength can be improved now, how much strength must be improved! It would be best to elevate everyone to their peak state! This way, you will have a greater chance of winning when facing orangutan zombies in the future!
Naturally, everyone understood Wang Tao's thoughts and nodded. At this time, I really don’t have time to think about it that much.
After giving the crystal core to everyone, Wang Tao went to visit Lu Gang.
"You're here, how's your harvest today?"
Lu Gang, who was on the hospital bed, saw Wang Tao coming and immediately wanted to sit up. Chen Zhuang, who was next to him, hurried over to support him.
"Not bad, I got a lot of crystal cores. How is your injury?"
Wang Tao said with a smile.
Lu Gang was still injured, so he didn't tell him about the second-level zombies in the hospital.
"Haha, I'm fine! I feel like I'll be cured in another three to five days!"
Lu Gang laughed.
Wang Tao shook his head. It is definitely impossible to recover in three to five days. After all, one of his ribs was broken. Although it was repaired by Chen Zhuang, it could not grow back that quickly.
But Lu Gang is recovering really well now. After all, Wang Tao used many medical kits on him, which not only saved his life, but also increased his blood volume a lot.
He has now recovered to more than 3,000 blood. Even if he is lying on the hospital bed, if he really gets up to fight, his fighting power will not be weak.
"I still have some crystal nuclei here..."
Wang Tao gave Lu Gang some crystal nuclei. Lu Gang's precision shooting and sprinting were at full level, but he could fuse two kinds of crystal nuclei. He had told Wang Tao before that he preferred throwing mastery and concealment abilities.
Wang Tao now threw mastery and concealment cores to Lu Gang.
"Wow! So many purple, red and even orange crystal nuclei!"
Lu Gang looked excited. With these crystal nuclei, his strength can be greatly improved!
"You should fuse slowly. When you fuse the crystal core, the energy of the crystal core will also repair your body. Maybe you can get out of bed in three to five days!" "Thank you!"
Lu
Gang said gratefully.
"Thank you, you deserve this!"
Wang Tao patted Lu Gang on the shoulder.
"No, I mean when I was fighting hooded zombies, if you hadn't thrown two axes at me and hit the zombies, my life would have been lost long ago..." Lu Gang said with a sigh on his face
. .
"That's what you said! Actually, I didn't have a choice at the time. Fortunately, you were strong enough!"
Wang Tao also felt a little frightened when he recalled the time when he hunted hooded zombies. If he throws it wrongly, Lu Gang will be dead.
"Oh, actually it's my fault... I thought I was so far away that the zombies wouldn't be able to find me. If I had known better, I would have been more cautious..."
Lu Gang was a little annoyed.
After fighting zombies for a long time, it is easy to let down your guard on certain things. For example, he thinks zombies have no brains, and thinks zombies will not find him...
"I can't blame you, that zombie is too powerful... Anyway, let's remember this lesson and remember it for as long as possible in the future!" "Yeah!
You're right!"
After visiting Lu Gang, Wang Tao returned home, and then Gao Hua was called. In addition to Gao Hua, Ding Yuqin is also there.
Wang Tao asked them what crystal core they wanted.
After the two of them fused the hidden crystal core, they could continue to fuse.
"I want copper skin and iron bones..."
Gao Hua scratched his head in embarrassment.
Wang Tao glanced at him in surprise. He was planning to maximize his defense capabilities. He was both invisible and iron-clad.
"No problem."
Wang Tao gave him a copper-skinned iron-bone crystal core.
"Thank you, brother!"
Gao Hua suddenly looked grateful.
"With your current blood volume, you should be able to sense whether you can continue to fuse other types of crystal nuclei, right?"
Wang Tao asked again.
Gao Hua closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then said:
"I feel like I can fuse two more types..." Gao Hua has only fused concealment now, which means that he can fuse three types of crystal nuclei in total. .
"Three types, that's pretty good. Is there anything else you want to fuse? I still have some crystal nuclei in my hand, so I'll give them to you." Wang Tao said with a smile
.
"Let me think about it..."
Gao Hua's eyes suddenly lit up.
He would never take the initiative to ask for anything from Wang Tao, but as long as it was given by Wang Tao, he would never refuse it, not even pretending to be polite. Because he is very aware of his status, he regards himself as Wang Tao's younger brother. What the boss gives to the younger brother is a reward, and there is no reason for the younger brother to refuse.
"Is it okay if I want a throwing proficiency crystal core?"
Gao Hua thought for a while. He already had two defensive abilities, so it would be good to have another offensive ability. However, he is unwilling to rush forward and fight hand-to-hand, which is his weakness. So he thought, it would be best to have the ability to attack from a distance.
As far as he understood, there were currently only two abilities that allowed long-range attacks, one was throwing proficiency, and the other was precision shooting.
He feels that Throwing Mastery is more suitable for him. It is a passive ability that does not consume mana and does not require any foundation. As long as this ability is integrated, he will have a natural sense of intimacy and familiarity with throwing objects.
If we really want to talk about the upper limit, precision shooting is definitely higher. But precision shooting is to improve those who have shooting skills. For people like him who don't understand shooting at all, precision shooting will not improve them much.
"Okay."
Wang Tao gave him another red Throwing Mastery Core.
"Thank you, brother!" Gao Hua thanked him again, and then he said with a wink, "If there is nothing wrong with brother, I will go back to fuse the crystal core first!" "Go." After
Gao
Hua left, Wang Tao looked at Ding Yuqin.
"What about you, sister-in-law? What kind of crystal core do you want to fuse?"
"I don't know either, I will listen to you!"
Ding Yuqin said, holding Wang Tao's arm.
Wang Tao looked at Ding Yuqin. He felt that if Ding Yuqin was fused with a long tongue, maybe there would be a different feeling? But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. It would be better for my sister-in-law to keep things as they are.
"Then you should first fuse a Throwing Mastery. It's always good to have more attack methods."
"Okay!"
As for Han Rui, except for the perception power, all her other abilities are at full level, but the perception ability Zombies have never been touched, so there is no way to improve. Like Wang Tao, her strength has temporarily reached its upper limit.
...
the next day.
The committee issued an announcement at the base, saying that it would train another group of superpowers.
The first batch of superpowers only had 6 people, not counting the security forces. This number is still very small, after all, there are now 700 people in the base.
So many people are waiting for this second batch of opportunities. They thought it would take a long time.
But unexpectedly, just a few days after the first batch of crystal nuclei were distributed, the committee was preparing to train the second batch of superpowers!
The news excited the survivors.
There are now more than 700 people in the base, 300 of whom are hunters.
Originally there were not so many hunters, but because many new people who joined the base registered as hunters, and the attraction of becoming a person with powers, the number of hunters increased dramatically. After all, everyone knows that superpowers are selected from hunters.
This is of course what the committee wants to see. The greater the number of hunters, the richer the base's supplies.
Therefore, the number of the second batch of superpowers that the committee plans to cultivate is no longer 6, but 50!
Wang Tao now has many crystal nuclei in his hand, which is enough to train 50 superpowers.
Of course, Wang Tao just let them become superpowers. As for the subsequent improvement of superpower levels, Wang Tao didn't care. They had to hunt the elite zombies by themselves.
Soon, registration for candidates with special abilities began.
This time it is no longer Ren Jie who appoints the candidates right from the start, but everyone can sign up.
After registering, show your ability and wait for the committee notification.
Just sign up and you'll have a chance. However, the final right of interpretation lies with the committee.
There were a lot of people who signed up. There were only over 300 hunters in the base, but more than 400 people signed up. Apparently some ordinary survivors also signed up.
These ordinary survivors will definitely not be selected, but it is a good thing that they can sign up. Maybe they will register as hunters later.
After a day, the quota for the second batch of superpower users was finally determined.
Wang Tao personally handed over these 50 crystal cores to them and told them to work hard. The important task of contributing to the base was left to them.
Since the number of crystal nuclei taken out this time was large, there were also many types. Including quagmire, cough smoke, rejuvenation... and even the Big Eater and other crystal nuclei were taken out.
In fact, Wang Tao has always wanted to know, are some crystal nuclei that seem to be of little use, such as Quagmire and Big Stomach King, really useless at all?
So this can be regarded as an experiment, let these people fuse and see if these crystal nuclei are useful or not.
Of course, these crystal nuclei were synthesized by Wang Tao, so there are no side effects. If there are any side effects, it's just a scam.
After one night, these people were all integrated.
Wang Tao specially called them here to see their special abilities.
Needless to say, Wang Tao really noticed something was different.
For example, the crystal core of Quagmire seems useless based on the introduction. But the actual effect turned out to be quite good!
The effect of the quagmire is to "expend energy and create a quagmire around the body."
A superpower who has only fused a quagmire crystal core can form a quagmire with a diameter of ten meters around his body.
Whether it is a human or a zombie, the speed in the quagmire will be greatly slowed down. Especially zombies, they can easily get stuck in and become unable to move!
Of course, if it is just these, it is not enough to make Wang Tao happy. What really makes Wang Tao happy is that the effects of this quagmire can be superimposed!
He asked five superpowers who had learned the quagmire to stand together and release the quagmire. The quagmire formed was five times the size of the previous one!
And this quagmire is permanent! As long as the water in the quagmire does not evaporate, and as long as the soil is not dug away, this quagmire can always exist!
Wang Tao immediately felt that this was a very powerful control skill!
Suppose he gets a group of people with supernatural powers who can quagmire, and lets them release their powers at the same time, creating a large quagmire. And then lure the zombies into the quagmire. Once the zombies come in, they can't move and can only be slaughtered!
Wouldn't that be equivalent to a continuous version of vomiting mucus?
Wang Tao thinks you can try it!
But when it comes to shortcomings, there are certainly some.
That is, the release speed of this quagmire is relatively slow, unlike vomiting mucus, which is spit out in one gulp. The quagmire needs to be released slowly, and immediate combat is definitely not possible. This must be prepared in advance.
And another thing is that when this quagmire power is released, it feels a little disgusting - this is the mud flowing out from the holes and pores of the body... According to these
quagmire power users, they don't feel uncomfortable, and even flow out. When you are in the mud, there is a very relaxing feeling. But Wang Tao felt very uncomfortable...
In addition to the quagmire, the power of the Big Stomach King is also available.
The effect of this ability is "the more you eat and the fatter you grow, the higher your defense will be."
Wang Tao specially found two fat men to fuse this crystal core. In the apocalypse, fat people are relatively rare, and these two fat people are the two fattest people in their base.
Now there is no way to achieve the condition of "eat more", but "grow fatter" can be achieved.
After the two of them merged this ability, their defense immediately increased greatly. Wang Tao tested them before and after their fusion.
Wang Tao felt that this Big Stomach King Crystal Core was equivalent to a weakened version of copper skin and iron bones. Although the defense is indeed not as strong as copper skin and iron bones, it is a passive ability and does not require energy consumption!
And more importantly, the upper limit of copper-skinned iron bones is fixed and can only be increased by fusing crystal cores. And this big stomach king has a higher upper limit. Increasing his body size, eating more food and fusing crystal cores can all improve his defense!
Equipping these two fat men with full-body protective equipment, shields, etc., they can be used as human shields in front. If they could also fuse the powerful crystal core and the vitality crystal core, the effect would be even better!
This is what Wang Tao thought and did.
He immediately promoted these two fat men to key training targets in the base.
Wang Tao also personally took them out to hunt elite zombies and refresh their health bars. Not many people can enjoy this kind of treatment.
But not only was Wang Tao taking people out to refresh their health bars, Wei Zhenguo and the others were also taking some superpowers out to hunt elite zombies.
After all, the strength of these people has been raised to the upper limit, and there is no way to improve it for the time being. It is better to help other superpowers in the base to improve the overall strength of the base.
With the efforts of Wang Tao and other committee members, a few days later, the overall strength of the Shuize Base was greatly improved -
all the hunters had more than 1,000 health, some of the superpowers had more than 2,000 health, and some of them had reached 3,000 health. above!
As for Wang Tao and other committee members, naturally they all have more than 4,000 blood.
With the current overall strength of the Shuizhe base, it is hard to say whether it can withstand the orangutan zombies, but it will definitely not be as embarrassing as before when facing the hooded zombies.
Wang Tao felt that it was time to go to the hospital to find out the reality of the green-eyed zombie...
