Chapter 206 Gymnasium (ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket at the beginning of the month)
Wang Tao was not too surprised when he heard this somewhat sensational news. He looked at Lan Yulian.
"Are you also involved?"
"No." Lan Yulian shook her head. "We only found out recently. This was a joint effort between the base and the prison. Neither we nor the Alliance of Superpowers knew about it...otherwise I would be sure I will stop it!"
She was shocked when she found out about this. If it hadn't been too late by then, she would definitely have found a way to stop it.
After all, this matter is too dangerous. To a certain extent, this is making fun of the lives of all the survivors in Bauhinia City!
"Now..."
Wang Tao asked again.
"Those zombies are all in the city gymnasium. Before they raised the zombies, they cut off their limbs in advance and tied them up to prevent them from resisting and escaping." "And now,
those zombies have been successfully promoted to the third level. After promotion, The strength is much weaker than normal third-level zombies. They thought they succeeded, but these zombies are slowly getting stronger, and they will evolve! Some grow new limbs, some evolve other limbs, and some They were even combined together..."
At this point, Lan Yulian's face turned pale.
She had seen the situation there with her own eyes, and felt physically uncomfortable every time she thought about it.
"...The situation over there is a little out of control. I have called so many people over this time just to kill those zombies quickly. Otherwise, if those zombies rush out, we will be in big trouble!"
Wang Tao thought for a while, and then Some curiously asked:
"Can't they solve it on their own?"
From what Lan Yulian said, the zombies they kept in captivity should be relatively weak, and they were subject to great restrictions, and they couldn't even get out of the gym. With the strength of Bauhinia Base, it should be able to solve it. Apart from anything else, there are a lot of guns in the Bauhinia Base. Since these zombies are trapped, aren't they shooting with guns like shooting at a target?
"Theoretically, they can solve it, but the danger is too high. Because there is a problem with their cage, many zombies are out of control. But those zombies can't get out of the gym for the time being... so we can only send people in to kill them. , if you force it in to solve it, you will definitely lose a lot of people. Although their Bauhinia base has a lot of people, they can't afford too many losses... However, there is the most important point..."
Lan Yulian paused.
"The most important thing is that the zombies inside include not only third-level elite zombies, but also a very strong zombie without a crystal core. It's a bit similar to the crazy zombies. They can't directly tell which kind of zombie has a crystal core... ..."
"Good guy, no wonder!"
Wang Tao suddenly understood after hearing this.
The reasons Lan Yulian mentioned before are indeed some difficult problems, but they can always be solved as long as you are determined. The last reason is the key point - there is a powerful zombie in the gym but without a crystal core!
Killing this kind of zombie is completely thankless.
So the Bauhinia Base simply tricked all the survivors in Bauhinia City to work there.
Of course, if they can fulfill their promise and benefit other survivors, then it is not considered cheating, but mutual help.
"So, will the promise of the Bauhinia Base be fulfilled?"
Wang Tao looked at Lan Yulian.
"Of course they will. No matter how strong they are, they would not dare to go against the survivors of the entire Bauhinia City, and friendly cooperation is the basis for long-term survival. They are not stupid." "That's good." Wang Tao nodded, as long as it
's
not Just deliberately trick people.
"It's time to eat!"
Lu Yingfeng shouted from the kitchen. She cooked today's dishes.
Lan Yulian hurried over to serve the food, but Wang Taodong didn't move and ate grapes with Jiang Shixue like an uncle.
When the food was served, Wang Tao's eyes lit up.
Let’s not talk about the taste of today’s food, at least the appearance is much better than yesterday’s.
Wang Tao didn't hide his emotions, and the two women naturally found out.
Lu Yingfeng's face was dull, while Lan Yulian was a little helpless. She admitted that there was indeed a gap.
"Please!"
Wang Tao was not polite, picked up a piece of lean meat, and after chewing it for a few times, Wang Tao praised with eyes full of praise:
"It tastes great!"
He was not complimenting this. Today's dish was indeed great, especially compared to yesterday's. The comparison is simply like heaven and earth.
"Xiao Feng has practiced specially before!"
After hearing Wang Tao's praise, Lu Yingfeng still spoke, while Lan Yulian looked very proud, as if she was the one being praised. It can be felt that the relationship between the two is very good.
"Xiaoxue, eat more!"
Then Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng began to add vegetables to Jiang Shixue.
"Thank you."
Several people chatted while eating.
Naturally, the topic of zombies was ignored for the time being. After all, it affected the appetite.
When talking about food, Lan Yulian said with some envy:
"The Bauhinia Base is a great place! Not only is it large in area, strong in defense, and has beautiful scenery, but you can also grow your own vegetables and raise your own pigs..."
Wang Tao didn't either Surprisingly, you can guess it just by looking at the food, otherwise the Bauhinia Base would not be able to supply fresh food to so many people.
"And their vegetables and pigs have mutated and grown very big! But they can all be eaten. Those pigs are also very honest and not aggressive."
Lu Yingfeng was also very envious.
When Wang Tao heard this, he seemed very interested. He has only seen some inedible plant mutations and some fish mutations. He hadn't seen vegetables, pigs, etc., so he was going to go back and see what they looked like. Definitely not to steal food.
After Wang Tao asked Lan Yulian about the location of the Bauhinia Base Plantation, he changed the subject. I took the initiative to ask about the Bauhinia Base allowing other forces to rank.
Lan Yulian told Wang Tao that it was just as he imagined. This ranking is to prepare for the quota for third-level superpowers.
However, although the higher the ranking, the easier it is to get a spot, the higher the ranking, the more you have to pay. If you want to get a good ranking, you must be prepared to pay.
Just like the four major forces this time, although they have all reserved some quotas, they also dispatched a lot of people this time... There
is no absolute fairness in the world, but there is still relative fairness. The Bauhinia Base tries to maintain a relatively fair state, which can avoid many problems.
The more Wang Tao got to know him, the more he felt that the leader of the Bauhinia Base was powerful, which was somewhat different from the rumors outside. But this is also normal. Anyone who looks at something will more or less wear a filter. What others say is definitely not reliable, but what you see with your own eyes is more accurate.
"By the way, I heard that there is a very special crystal core in the Bauhinia Base. After successful fusion, it can be used by multiple superpowers together? Do you know what the crystal core is?"
"It is a special ability that can spray mucus. This mucus is not very sticky, but it can make zombies weak..."
Lan Yulian explained briefly.
Wang Tao suddenly understood.
If zombies can be weakened on a large scale, the probability of killing these zombies will indeed be much higher.
Wang Tao asked a lot more questions, and Lan Yulian said everything he could.
At this time, Lan Yulian suddenly looked at Wang Tao and said:
"I have told you so much information, you come to our club!"
"No."
Wang Tao refused immediately.
Lan Yulian suddenly felt a little angry.
Forget it if she refuses, she refuses so perfunctorily, thanks to the fact that she still answered all the questions just now.
Lu Yingfeng next to her couldn't stand it anymore.
She said to Wang Tao:
"Wang Tao, you don't know how strong our leader is, right? How many people are willing to join our club but they are not qualified." "
How strong? Are there any of you powerful superpowers? Ranking, where does Ms. Lan rank?"
Wang Tao asked directly.
"..."
They did have a private ranking of combat effectiveness before, but Lan Yulian was not on the list.
But this does not mean that Lan Yulian is not good, but that her ability is not for head-on combat.
"Our leader is not a combat superpower, but a superpower with healing abilities! Our leader is the only one in the entire Bauhinia City who has this kind of healing ability! Not to mention that our leader is also a doctor... If you join If you enter our club, as long as the injuries are not fatal, we can save them!"
"Oh? People with healing powers?"
People with healing powers are indeed rare. Wang Tao has never seen anyone except this Lan Yulian. Ding Yuqin's one doesn't count, hers is a hidden ability.
However, Wang Tao has seen one zombie with healing power, and he still has a crystal core with healing power...
"How are you, are you interested?"
Lu Yingfeng suddenly said with a little pride.
In fact, she is usually cold and not like this, but she doesn't know why she feels so relaxed when chatting with Wang Tao.
"I'm indeed a little interested."
"Then...as long as you join us, you can enjoy the treatment of our leader!" "
I won't join." Wang Tao still shook his head, but he continued, "Unless you tell me why you must be persistent. Yu asked me to join. Don't fool me with the previous reasons, I know there must be a reason." "
..."
Seeing Wang Tao's lack of energy, both women had a headache.
Wang Tao had to know the reason, but if Wang Tao didn't join, they didn't dare to tell the reason. Because the crystal core they have that can only fuse men seems to be very powerful. They are still a little conflicted internally. If someone attacks them from the outside because of this matter, it will be troublesome... It seems that neither of them is willing to say anything
. , Wang Tao shrugged. At this time, he was actually a little curious. But he will definitely not take the initiative.
After dinner, Wang Tao accompanied Jiang Shixue to eat some after-dinner fruits and prepared to leave.
At this time, Lan Yulian stopped him.
Wang Tao thought she had changed her mind, but no, she wanted to buy some crystal nuclei and medicine from Wang Tao.
Looks like they were supposed to test it yesterday and it worked great.
"How much do you want? I happen to have a batch of goods here. If you ask for it later, I might have already taken action."
Wang Tao had plenty of things in his hands, but he had to pretend to be in short supply.
Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng didn't have any doubts about this, because these things were indeed good and the small quantity was very reasonable.
Wang Tao has priced all these things.
1 rejuvenating potion costs 3 first-order crystal cores of any type and quality. The cost for him to make this potion was one first-order crystal core and a little water and food. And you can still make 5 at a time! So this price is a steal.
As for the price of crystal cores, since there are many types, the price will fluctuate to a certain extent.
But overall, it is cheaper than the market price. Moreover, these high-quality crystal cores are not available in the market, and are difficult to buy. They are basically in the hands of big forces...
Moreover, Wang Tao is offering a preferential price, and the price he sells to others is higher than this. . After all, different people should be treated differently. Lan Yulian and the others are big customers, so they must feel comfortable.
Sure enough, when Wang Tao announced this price, both of them were a little surprised. Because it was much cheaper than they expected.
After once again confirming that the price was okay, Lan Yulian went to the room and took out a lot of white second-order crystal nuclei.
Then she called her subordinates and asked them to bring the first-order crystal core.
Only then did Wang Tao find out that the club occupied two villas, No. 6 and No. 7 respectively. Lan Yulian and others live in No. 7, and the others live in No. 6.
Wang Tao asked curiously why the club did not choose a courtyard.
When it comes to this issue, both Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng look unhappy.
"What other reason could there be? I just lost the competition."
Lan Yulian sighed.
"Ah? Didn't you let Lu Yingfeng come up? With her strength, can she lose in a fight?"
Wang Tao suddenly asked.
Lu Yingfeng obviously has pure fighting ability. Wang Tao can feel that she is very strong. There should not be many people who can defeat her.
As soon as he said these words, the two women looked at Wang Tao in surprise.
It was a surprise to Lan Yulian that Wang Tao knew Lu Yingfeng's strength, and it was a surprise to Lu Yingfeng that Wang Tao praised her - this was a good compliment in her opinion.
Lan Yulian explained angrily:
"Of course it wasn't Xiaofeng, otherwise I wouldn't have lost. Anyway, it was calculated by the people from the Alliance of Superpowers."
In fact, it doesn't matter where they live, they are all survivors of the apocalypse. , don’t really care about the environment. But the problem is that the other two major forces live in the courtyard, so they are the only ones in the villa. This feels like they are being kicked out of the four major forces, which is a bit unpleasant.
"Okay."
This was obviously a sad thing for them, and Wang Tao didn't ask any more questions.
He took out a handful of brightly colored crystal nuclei from his arms.
"Look at which one you want, pick whatever you want."
Both women's eyes were bright for such shiny things.
After a while, the two sides reached a deal.
Wang Tao looked at the second-order crystal nuclei in his hands and grinned.
Sure enough, it's really too slow to kill zombies or something. It's easier to just deal with people directly.
Although most of these are white crystal nuclei, Wang Tao doesn't care, he can synthesize them anyway.
Before leaving, Wang Tao said to Lan Yulian:
"Today's grapes are a little sour. Let's get more sweet ones tomorrow!" "
..."
This person is so rude!
Even Lan Yulian, looking at Wang Tao's arrogant look, had the urge to beat him up. But after seeing Jiang Shixue's big, pure eyes, she took a deep breath.
"Okay, I'll ask someone from the base to send it over."
"Thank you, sister!"
At Wang Tao's signal, Jiang Shixue thanked her.
Listening to this sweet voice, Lan Yulian felt that everything was worth it again.
"No, we must bring Wang Tao into our club! Not to mention Wang Tao's own value, let's talk about this Jiang Shixue, such a weak and pure girl, we must protect her!" Lan Yulian said, clenching her fists
.
"The leader is right!"
Lu Yingfeng also strongly agreed.
...
After Wang Tao returned to Building 8, Nie Siyan went out to discuss business and had not returned yet.
Wang Tao took out a drawing from the room.
[Drawings for making full-body armor from branches: You can make a set of full-body armor made from branches. Materials required: Third-order crystal core*1...]
This is an item dropped by killing a third-order root zombie before.
Wang Tao himself has entangled tree roots, so he doesn't need this set of equipment. He originally prepared it for Xu Xiaojun, but he never had the chance to get it.
Now that I have more third-order crystal cores in my hand, I can naturally make equipment.
After Wang Tao took out these materials, his thoughts came to him.
I saw these materials and design drawings instantly blooming with a burst of colorful light.
After the light ended, a full-body armor appeared in Wang Tao's eyes.
It includes full body armor such as helmet, breastplate, shoulder pads, and a huge shield. This shield can be carried on your back at ordinary times and used at critical moments.
[Branches Full Body Armor]
[Level 3 (Excellent)]
[Durability +50, Defense +50 (slightly less resistant to flames)]
The manufacturing process of this set of armor is a bit like rattan armor, it is all woven of. But this armor is pure black, and the branches on it don't look like wood, but like steel. The ice was cold to the touch and heavy.
This set of armor is somewhat similar to Wang Tao's arm guards, knee pads, chest armor and the like, all of which can be adjusted in size.
Wang Tao put it on and tried it on himself.
"The weight is just right, and it's very flexible... It feels very good."
This is definitely not as good as wrapping around tree roots, but it is much better than other equipment.
After Wang Tao played for a while, he called Xu Xiaojun over.
"I have prepared a set of armor for you."
Xu Xiaojun's eyes lit up when he saw this set of armor, especially when he saw a large shield. He immediately took it in his hand and tried it. The shield was big, but just right for him.
Xu Xiaojun knew about Wang Tao's entangled tree roots, so he did not refuse.
"Brother Wang, I think this suits me very well!"
"I think so too. From now on, this will be your exclusive armor, and paired with your ax, it's just right!"
Wang Tao said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Wang!"
Xu Xiaojun's eyes were very grateful.
To put it bluntly, having this armor will increase his survivability by at least ten times! Not to mention the increase in combat power.
"Tomorrow you can help the Yinghuo Club to compete in some competitions and try to get some rankings."
"Okay!"
Xu Xiaojun nodded immediately.
Ranking affects whether he can fight third-level zombies, so Wang Tao naturally needs a ranking.
Those zombies in the gym can be a big nuisance to some people. But to Wang Tao, these are all special energy and trophies!
After all, Wang Tao can tell which zombies have crystal nuclei and which ones don't!
