Chapter 131 Hope Research Institute, 4999 blood
"What price?"
Wang Tao asked curiously.
He can obtain crystal nuclei without side effects, but he also has to pay a price. The price is that one crystal nucleus is wasted to synthesize the first-order crystal nucleus, and two crystal nuclei may be wasted to synthesize the second-order crystal nucleus...
I don't know what the cost of this instrument is. If the cost is small, he might be able to use it.
"The price is - if you want to get a crystal core without side effects, you have to waste more crystal nuclei!"
"According to the manual, this machine can currently only synthesize first-order crystal nuclei. If you want to get one first-order crystal nucleus without side effects, you have to consume three first-order crystal nuclei. The types of crystal nuclei can be different.
But they have to be crystal nuclei of the same color. But this is not the point. The point is that the synthesis has a probability of failure! After failure, all the crystal nuclei disappear! As for the probability, it is hard to say, it all depends on luck..."
After listening to Xiang Hongbin's explanation, everyone frowned and thought.
Even if it requires 3 crystal cores of the same quality, there is still a chance of failure...
Naturally, everyone wants a crystal core with no side effects. But the price is a bit too high.
If you only need three coins, it's okay, but if you fail... probability is just like gambling, it's not trustworthy!
Then whether it is worth it is a question. Now that I think about it, some side effects are not unacceptable...
Wang Tao was thinking silently.
His core synthesis ability only requires two cores. However, he can only use the same type of cores and cannot use cross-types.
Although this machine requires 3 crystal cores and has a certain probability of failure, it can use different types of crystal cores, but the quality is required to be the same...
Of course, there is one biggest difference between what Wang Tao synthesized and what this machine synthesized -
Not only does the crystal nucleus synthesized by Wang Tao have no side effects, it also has no impurities and even has additive quality.
The quality of the crystal nuclei extracted by this machine will not be added, and the impurities cannot be removed. It simply has no side effects...
It can only be said that Wang Tao's ability is more powerful, but this machine is also very powerful and can remove all side effects. It would be better if the properties that can remove impurities can be researched in the future...
"The function of this machine seems to be okay... Although some crystal nuclei will be wasted, they can be replaced by other crystal nuclei, such as those useless Big Eaters, self-destruction and the like can come in handy! Of course, the premise is that
Good luck... Whichever of you is lucky will come, anyway, I don't need this synthesizer."
Feng Mingan touched his chin and said.
He had little hope for his luck...
"In addition to these two instruments, there are many inhibitors, and there is also a letter."
Xiang Hongbin opened other boxes, which were filled with inhibitors.
"Look at this letter. It mentions supernatural powers and inhibitors..."
Wang Tao took the letter and looked at it carefully.
"we discover……"
The letter stated that according to their current research, a person can fuse at least one type of crystal nucleus and up to four different types of crystal nuclei.
In other words, a person can only learn four kinds of powers at most. As for whether they will have the opportunity to fuse more crystal nuclei in the future, they don't know. Anyway, the current first-order crystal nuclei can only fuse four kinds at most.
Those who can fuse four kinds of powers are the ones with the greatest potential. Those who can only fuse one kind naturally have the least potential.
But potential is potential, and the final combat effectiveness depends on the person.
There is an example from their side. Someone only fused one type of crystal core, but he used this superpower to perfection, and his combat effectiveness was very strong! Many superpowers who fused four types of crystal cores couldn't defeat them.
Of course, this is actually an example. Generally speaking, the more abilities that are fused, the greater the advantage.
However, the difficulty of having too many fusions is that more crystal nuclei are needed to increase the level of superpowers.
Especially if you want crystal nuclei without side effects, you need a large number of crystal nuclei.
Then they have another guess, that is, some conditions may be required to promote a superpower from the first level to the second level. It is impossible to be promoted unconditionally.
But they don't know what it is specifically, after all, they don't have second-level superpowers here.
Then there are the inhibitors. They have not yet figured out how to solve the problem of impurities in the body, but the inhibitors can play a certain role in mitigating the problem - when fusing the crystal nuclei, taking the inhibitors will reduce the impurities in the body.
It's hard to say how much less, but after their tests, it was indeed a little less.
But there is also a problem, that is, the process of using inhibitors is too painful. Although most people with powers should be able to handle it, no one wants to experience this feeling...
As for whether to use it or not, it depends on the individual.
If you are very afraid of impurities in your body, or you want to fuse more crystal nuclei, it is best to use inhibitors.
If you feel that the impurities in your body don't matter, or if you have strong enough self-control and can insist on not fusing so many crystal nuclei, then it doesn't matter whether you use inhibitors or not.
Anyway, as long as the impurities in the body are controlled below 50%, there will be no problem with safety.
The letter also mentioned another use of inhibitors, which is to use them when there are too many impurities in the body.
When they first studied this inhibitor, they actually wanted a zombie antidote. But the antidote was not developed, and the inhibitor was a by-product of research on the antidote.
And at that time, they did not discover the property of impurities in the body. What they thought was to use inhibitors to slow down the activity of the zombie virus. Although there was no way to eliminate the zombie virus, as long as the zombie virus never attacks, they would avoid turning into a zombie.
of danger.
And now they have discovered through testing that the inhibitor can be used not only on infected people, but also on people with superpowers.
When a person with superpowers fuses too many crystal nuclei and accumulates too many impurities in his body, he is also in danger of turning into a zombie. Inhibitors can also suppress this danger.
Theoretically speaking, even if a person has 90% impurities in his body, as long as he keeps using inhibitors, he will never become a zombie!
Of course, this is only theoretical. In fact, there are too many uncontrollable factors, and it would be very dangerous for such a person to exist.
Therefore, they still suggest that it is best not to accept people with level 5 impurities in the survivor base.
In fact, Wang Tao came up with the idea of using this inhibitor for people with superpowers when he first saw the inhibitor. However, he came up with it because he knew that there were impurities in the crystal core, and then combined with the characteristics of the inhibitor.
They also recently discovered impurities in the body, and then accidentally discovered that inhibitors and impurities in the body are very compatible...
But no matter what, the effect of this inhibitor has been officially confirmed, and it will be an indispensable thing for survivors in the future.
As for who this "they" are, there is an introduction at the end of this letter -
Wang Tao previously thought that this was something researched by the military base. Those scientists might have been protected by the military base, but in fact they were not.
This "they" refers to a force called "Hope Research Institute".
This is a force established by the government, and its core talents are technicians and scientists who survived the apocalypse.
Things like inhibitors, detectors, synthesizers, etc. were all developed by them.
The institute is headquartered in the capital, and they also say that capable people are welcome to join them in the capital. The ultimate goal of their institute is to develop a drug that can remove zombie viruses, so that there will be no zombies in the world.
Although Wang Tao thinks this possibility is very small, Wang Tao will not laugh at them. After all, to a certain extent, they are the hope of mankind - at least the hope of Qian Country.
Wang Tao is still very curious about this research institute, but it is too far away from him. If I remember correctly, it is 1,500 kilometers from Huangfeng City to the capital! Such a long distance is simply courting death...
However, Wang Tao is still very curious about the means by which they can transmit the message. Is it a super-powerful radio? Or is it some other black technology?
If Wang Tao has this method, he must know what is going on in the military base.
"Apart from these, did the airdrop say anything about the situation at the military base?"
Wang Tao asked.
"No."
Xiang Hongbin and Wei Zhenguo both shook their heads.
They also wanted to know what was going on at the military base, but unfortunately, there was no news in these airdrops.
Wang Tao was a little puzzled.
During the first airdrop, the people at the military base still left letters to the survivors. But there were no letters for the second airdrop and the third airdrop. They all looked businesslike...
He wanted to find out what was going on at the military base, but there was nothing he could do.
Could it be that the military base doesn’t want any survivors to pass by?
That shouldn't happen, right?
After all, there is strength in numbers, so how can one dislike a base with many survivors...
Wang Tao was puzzled, but they were far away from the military base and there was no way to check. Although the previous airdrop left a radio frequency contact information, the radio in their hands must not be able to reach such a long distance.
related……
Wei Zhenguo distributed the inhibitor to everyone.
Now that they know that inhibitors are also useful for their superpowers, they have to save more, and they may have to keep using them in the future...
…
The next day, early morning.
Wang Tao met Han Rui outside the complex building.
After a weak day yesterday, Wang Tao didn't go out. Today the weakness is over, and he plans to go out today to increase his blood volume.
He currently has 4,900 blood, and is only 100 short of 5,000. If he doesn't get these 100 blood today, he probably won't be able to sleep well tonight.
Han Rui also had a day off yesterday. She is now Wang Tao's dedicated teammate. When Wang Tao goes out, she goes out. When Wang Tao doesn't go out, she rests at home.
Of course this was of his own free will. After all, he was safe with Wang Tao.
"Have you recovered from your weakness?"
Han Rui asked with concern.
"Okay, let's go."
"Um."
Wang Tao drove an off-road vehicle and took Han Rui towards the hospital.
There are many zombies in the hospital, so you don’t have to worry about not finding the elite zombies. If you wander around other places, it would be uncomfortable if you waste a whole day and fail to find even three elite zombies.
At noon, the two came to the vicinity of the hospital.
"Good guy, you can't even touch an elite zombie!"
The two of them didn't even encounter an elite zombie along the way. This is exactly what Wang Tao thought. The more something is lacking, the harder it is to get it.
But seeing the hospital full of zombies, Wang Tao knew that there would be no problem in collecting 100 blood today.
But these elite zombies were wandering around the hospital and did not go through the gate. This made Han Rui a little helpless. There was no way to attract the zombies.
"Don't worry, I've already prepared."
Wang Tao took out a big speaker.
He and Han Rui went to the roof of a six-story building and put the speakers up.
This is the remote control speaker Wang Tao asked Liu He to help make.
He can control the sound of the speaker from a long distance, and has a DJ dance music stored in it in advance.
This thing can definitely attract many elite zombies in the hospital, and Wang Tao is even worried that it will attract some zombies that he can't resist, such as the orangutan zombie.
But if you want to gain something, you must take risks.
Moreover, Wang Tao deliberately placed the loudspeaker far away from himself, so that even if he did attract invincible zombies, he would not be besieged.
Soon, Wang Tao and Han Rui arrived at the apartment where they had rested before.
"Hopefully, don't let me down!"
Wang Tao took out the remote control and pressed it lightly.
After a delay of about two or three seconds, a sound of "move, hit, hit" sounded from the rooftop opposite.
"Roar--"
At this moment, the quiet world seemed to come alive, and terrifying roars could be heard everywhere.
There were some stampeding sounds inside the hospital, and then a large group of crazy zombies were seen rushing towards the building like a tide.
"horrible……"
Looking at these hundreds of zombies, Han Rui's scalp went numb.
Wang Tao carefully watched the situation downstairs. While these crazy zombies were sprinting towards the building, they were also followed by some elite zombies, and there were quite a few of them!
"Out!"
A smile appeared on Wang Tao's face.
As long as these elite zombies come out, it will be easy to say.
"Eh? Wang Tao, what do you think that is? A zombie or a person with superpowers?"
Suddenly, Han Rui pointed to a place and spoke.
Wang Tao followed the gaze of her fingers and his eyes suddenly became focused.
He saw a black figure wearing a sweatshirt and a hood running on the roof of the building!
This figure is agile and flexible, like a parkour athlete, moving around on the roof of the building in various ways, which is a bit pleasing to the eye.
But Wang Tao frowned because the figure's health bar was red!
【6000/6000】
It's a zombie, it seems to be a second-level zombie!
Wang Tao secretly thought that he was unlucky. Just now he was thinking about not attracting second-level zombies, but he didn't expect that he actually encountered them.
Although Wang Tao has killed a second-level zombie Shao Yong, it only had residual health. This second-level zombie has 6,000 health and may be stronger than the zombie Shao Yong. Wang Tao does not want to fight it at this time.
, at least you have to wait until you become a second-level superpower, right?
"It's a second-level zombie!"
Wang Tao whispered.
"Ah? Second-level zombies!"
Han Rui was startled.
The two of them now encounter second-level zombies. Whether they can defeat them is a question.
Fortunately, this second-level zombie was not coming towards them, but... the zombie seemed to be heading towards the loudspeaker!
Whoosh——
The zombie jumped up and climbed to the top of the building where the speaker was placed, and then he saw it stamping its feet.
Snapped--
The sound of the speaker disappeared instantly.
"..."
No, this zombie is specifically here to eliminate noise?
Wang Tao was a little confused.
After the zombie crushed the speaker, it disappeared from Wang Tao's sight in a few jumps.
There was no loudspeaker music, and the manic zombies outside quickly quieted down.
However, those crazy zombies did not leave, but continued to look for something around them.
Looking at this scene, Wang Tao couldn't think about the second-level zombie. He stared at these crazy zombies closely. When he saw that a considerable number of crazy zombies had come downstairs in the apartment, Wang Tao actually took out two
Concealing the potion, he picked up his and Han Rui's arms and plunged them in directly.
Han Rui did not resist, but asked curiously:
"What's this?"
"Concealing potion, those crazy zombies are here, let's try not to fight them."
Wang Tao explained briefly.
"oh!"
Soon, Han Rui felt that her body temperature was dropping, her body became slightly stiff, her breathing and heartbeat became slower and slower, her hands and feet gradually became heavier, and there was even a smell coming from her body that made her very disgusted.
...like zombies!
This feeling made Han Rui panic, and she subconsciously grabbed Wang Tao's clothes.
"It's okay, this is the effect of the concealment potion. After injecting this potion, you will not be easily discovered by zombies within an hour."
Wang Tao hasn't used the concealment potion for a long time. After all, zombies could be killed quickly before, so there was no need to waste it. But it is different now. There are many crazy zombies outside, and there is also a second-level zombie. For safety reasons, it is better to use the concealment potion.
"Ah? And there is this magical potion?!"
Han Rui was a little shocked, but she did not doubt Wang Tao's words, nor did she ask where this thing came from.
After the two of them used the concealing potion, those crazy people ran upstairs, walked around in a circle and left.
Wang Tao was temporarily relieved to see that this concealment potion was also effective against crazy demons.
About ten minutes later, all the crazy zombies downstairs disappeared, leaving only some ordinary zombies and elite zombies in the hospital hanging around.
"Walk!"
Wang Tao and Han Rui went downstairs together.
Although the concealment potion will also cause a slight decrease in one's own strength, the decrease is not much. In addition, Wang Tao and Han Rui both use crossbows, so it does not affect their performance.
Moreover, it is indeed very good to hunt elite zombies after injecting the concealment potion. The elite zombies will only detect the two of them when they are close by. The first elite zombie they killed did not realize who was attacking it until it died.
After the first zombie was eliminated, Wang Tao's health reached 4940. After the second zombie was eliminated, Wang Tao's health reached 4990.
Wang Tao originally thought that after killing the third zombie, his blood volume would reach 5,000.
As a result, after killing the third zombie, his blood volume was [4999/4999]!
Only 9 drops of blood were added.
"Fuck! I know for sure that level two is not that easy!"
