Chapter 138 Second level copper skin and iron bones
boom!
An abandoned car fell from the sky and hit the first car in the convoy.
squeak--
The screeching brakes sounded, almost hitting the abandoned car.
Inside the car, Xiang Hongbin quickly reversed the car, then turned the steering wheel sharply to bypass the obstacle.
But then more abandoned cars, concrete blocks, and even zombies flew towards the convoy!
"Grass!"
Wang Tao cursed secretly when he saw the orangutan zombies knocking away a group of crazy zombies from the rearview mirror, causing the zombies to land near the motorcade.
Was this orangutan zombie intentional or accidental?
Seeing that there were more and more obstacles around him and the car could not move at all, Wang Tao said loudly:
"You drive, Lao Wei, Han Rui and I come down to clear the obstacles!"
Wang Tao first injected himself with a defensive potion - he had not used a defensive potion when dealing with the hooded zombies before, so he had not entered the cool-down period yet.
Then he immediately opened the car door and jumped out, followed by Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui.
Wang Tao took the ax and slashed into the air, sending out a shock wave in front of him.
【-1543】
【-1304】
【-1467】
【……】
The group of crazy zombies with residual blood that were smashed by the orangutan zombies all exploded, their limbs and broken arms fell to the ground, and the area was instantly cleared.
Wei Zhenguo also used shock waves to kill some zombies. Han Rui moved the gravel and cleared the route.
Soon, the obstruction was partially cleared.
"The car goes first, we stop behind!"
Four vehicles just got out through the cleared gap. Another abandoned vehicle fell from the sky, blocking the road again.
Orangutan zombies and a large number of crazy zombies are also chasing us!
"Roar!"
The orangutan zombie roared, and punched Wang Tao who was closest to it with its huge fist!
The orangutan zombie looks bulky, but its speed is not slow at all. The rotten fist was in front of Wang Tao in an instant!
In this situation, Wang Tao could use his charge ability to dodge, but there were obstacles behind him, so he couldn't use charge. Wang Tao could only cross his arms and receive the punch forcefully.
boom--
【-2156】
【2402/4999】
Wang Tao felt like he had been hit by a dump truck! His whole body seemed to be falling apart and he was in terrible pain!
boom--
He hit the abandoned car behind him heavily, causing the car to move a lot, and Wang Tao was embedded directly into the car!
【-325】
【2077/4999】
Wang Tao no longer felt any pain on his body, he only felt a little dizzy.
He struggled to get out of the car, and then he realized that the car he had hit had shifted, vacating the road.
Seeing the orangutan zombies setting their sights on Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui, Wang Tao roared.
"Reverse charge!"
Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui immediately turned back, and after seeing that the obstacles behind them had been cleared, they launched a charge.
Suddenly, three faint white lights were more than thirty meters away from the orangutan zombie, temporarily out of its attack range.
The four cars that had just left were waiting for them here with their doors open.
"boarding!"
The three of them got in the car.
boom--
The engine roared and the car accelerated instantly.
Four off-road vehicles were speeding in front, and a two-story-tall giant zombie was chasing after them. Behind the giant zombie was a black mass of crazy zombies... The whole county seemed to be shaking.
"Wang Tao, are you okay?"
In the first off-road vehicle, Xiang Hongbin and Han Rui looked at Wang Tao with concern. They saw that Wang Tao had just received a punch from the orangutan zombie!
"I'm fine..."
Wang Tao used a medical kit on himself. It hurt, but it was not life-threatening.
Seeing that Wang Tao seemed to be fine, both of them felt relieved.
Xiang Hongbin quickly glanced at the rearview mirror and then cursed.
"You're so damn girl, I can't get rid of you!"
According to the original plan, they should have gotten rid of the pursuit by this time. After all, this retreat route was carefully selected by everyone, and the road was specially cleaned to make it smooth and allow the vehicle to speed up. No matter how fast the crazy zombies run,
, it cannot outrun a car running at full speed.
But who knows, the orangutan zombies are still attracted.
Although it is big, it is not slow! Especially since it will move some abandoned cars, stones on the roadside and zombies under its feet to hit Wang Tao and his party from time to time.
This greatly affected the speed of the convoy, making it impossible to get away from them, and more and more zombies were chasing after them!
Even Wang Tao wondered if all the crazy zombies in the county were catching up!
"What should we do? The zombies are getting closer and closer to us!"
Han Rui said worriedly.
Wang Tao looked at the zombies behind him, then looked at the map in his hand, and he felt cruel.
"Take the outer ring!"
Wang Tao had already told Wei Zhenguo and the others about the monster outside Shuize County. When they went out to search for supplies, they were determined not to go outside. After all, Wang Tao said that thing might be scarier than a gorilla zombie!
But there is really no other way now. As long as the zombies catch up, everyone will most likely be wiped out - even if there are no gorilla zombies, so many crazy zombies cannot be dealt with.
So I can only take a gamble!
“Everyone go to the Outer Ring Road!”
Xiang Hongbin immediately turned the steering wheel and drove towards the outer ring road. The three cars behind him also followed.
Seeing the zombies behind them getting closer and closer, and almost catching up with the last car, the convoy finally entered the outer ring road.
There were basically no cars on the outer ring road, and the road was smooth. Four cars started to speed up.
Buzz——
Soon, the convoy distanced itself from the zombies behind it.
Not only because the speed of the car has increased, but also because the zombies no longer chase!
After seeing the orangutan zombie stop and the crazy zombies also stop one after another, Wang Tao not only did not relax, but became even more vigilant.
"Quick, quick, quick! Speed up! Cross the outer ring road quickly and turn back to the county town from the intersection in front!"
The speed of the four vehicles soon exceeded 120KM.
Wang Tao was very nervous, he was afraid that the black shadow with ten thousand blood was still there.
Fortunately, luck cannot always be bad, and the team did not encounter any problems on the outer ring road.
Seeing the intersection ahead, the four cars slowed down and drifted, successfully entering the road back to the city.
The orangutan zombies and most of the crazy zombies were probably still at the previous intersection. The roar of the car engine only attracted a dozen crazy zombies.
After confirming that the surrounding area was temporarily safe, Wang Tao immediately got out of the car and killed the dozen or so crazy zombies.
"Let's go! Back to base!"
…
When the four cars finally arrived at the gate of the base, it was already evening.
The group of people finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is Lu Gang okay?"
Wang Tao picked up the walkie-talkie and asked.
"It's okay, I just fell asleep."
Wei Zhenguo's voice came from the intercom. They were in another car.
"That's good."
The convoy entered the base and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the base. These survivors were all anxiously outside, including Ding Yuqin and Li Qiuyu.
Wang Tao got out of the car and nodded to the two of them, indicating that nothing was wrong. Then the soldier on duty came over and asked in a low voice:
"Commissioner Wang, we should be fine, right? There was too much noise outside, and everyone was worried..."
"It's okay, let everyone rest assured."
Hearing Wang Tao's words, the soldier breathed a sigh of relief. Then he immediately said to the other survivors:
"It's okay. Everyone is safe. Let's go back."
call--
After hearing that everything was alright and seeing that all the committee members had returned safely, the survivors felt relieved.
Xiang Hongbin and the soldiers learned about the situation and said that the noise they made while fighting outside was too loud, and the explosions could be heard clearly inside the base. Especially after seeing the zombies outside starting to riot, the survivors
I can't sit still...
Wei Zhenguo and Wang Tao carried the stretcher together and carried Lu Gang to Chen Zhuang.
"He's seriously injured!"
Chen Zhuang and the other two doctors did not do any work today, they were just waiting for Wang Tao and others. Although they did not want anything to happen to the team, they must be prepared in advance.
"Let me take a look... Fortunately, I just broke one rib, and it's not life-threatening!"
After hearing the doctor's confirmation, everyone was completely relieved. After all, they couldn't see the blood bar and didn't know what Lu Gang's current condition was.
After handing Lu Gang to Chen Zhuang and the others, the injured among Wang Tao and his party briefly treated their wounds, and then came to the conference room upstairs in the complex.
"Is everything okay with everyone?"
Wang Tao looked at everyone.
He himself was actually the second most seriously injured person, but he had self-healing powers and a medical kit. He recovered a small amount along the way, and his injuries were finally stopped.
But it is still impossible to restore full blood, so Ding Yuqin needs help.
Everyone else was also more or less injured.
"We're all fine, minor injuries!"
Xiang Hongbin shook his head. As long as his arms and legs were not missing or infected, they were all minor injuries.
The person who was most seriously injured was naturally Lu Gang.
No one expected that Lu Gang, who was supposed to be the safest, was the most seriously injured.
That hooded zombie's senses are too keen!
After it was hit by Lu Gang's arrow, it immediately discovered Lu Gang's location. Then it flew directly towards Lu Gang from the roof. If Lu Gang hadn't been wearing a steel plate, Wang Tao had given them defensive medicine in advance... and I
Even if I saved him for a while, Lu Gang might be finished!
"This second-level zombie is so powerful!"
Xiang Hongbin sighed.
He felt that he had overestimated this second-level zombie as much as possible, but after the battle, he found that he still underestimated.
Fortunately, Wang Tao was well prepared and blew it up with a bomb in advance, otherwise everyone would definitely be reduced in number!
As for some things like mucus, they are not used at all, the hooded zombies are too fast!
"This is the second-level zombie in its prime! And there's also that gorilla zombie, it's so scary!"
Wei Zhenguo also sighed.
This hooded zombie is very strong, but the orangutan zombie is even stronger! Only Wang Tao can block the orangutan zombie's blow. If they were to face the orangutan zombie, they might not be killed instantly!
"Don't be discouraged, everyone! After all, this is the first time we have dealt with second-level zombies head-on. It's pretty good to be able to do this! Sum up the combat experience, and we won't be so embarrassed next time!"
Wang Tao encouraged with a smile.
Although everyone suffered varying degrees of injuries, it was considered a victory if no one died.
Everyone began to summarize the battle. They analyzed their own shortcomings and what they could do better.
Wang Tao felt that if there was a next time, either use more self-exploding bombs, preferably to kill the second-level zombies at once. Or use less self-exploding bombs, so as not to attract gorilla zombies and a large number of crazy zombies.
His bomb was not done well this time. It did not kill the hooded zombies, but also attracted a large number of crazy zombies and orangutan zombies.
If he had known this would happen, he might as well have used thermal weapons, which would have attracted so many zombies anyway... Wang Tao felt that the second-level zombie couldn't hold too many bullets.
After everyone summarized their experiences and lessons, Wei Zhenguo took out the crystal core of the hooded zombie from his body.
"This is the crystal core of that zombie. See if you can use it!"
Wang Tao didn't have time to look at the crystal core in the hooded zombie's brain before, but now he was a little surprised when he saw the crystal core Wei Zhenguo took out. It turned out to be an epic crystal core. What a blessing!
[Second-order crystal core·Promotion]
[Quality: Epic (100%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side effects: None)]
This is an ascension crystal core!
Wang Tao was very happy.
"This works for me!"
Everyone's faces also showed joy.
"As long as it's useful! Otherwise, your work will be in vain!"
Wang Tao was thinking before that his luck wouldn't be so bad today, as he didn't explode the promotion crystal core - Wang Tao looked at the package he exploded, and there was no promotion core in it.
But I didn’t expect that the promotion core is in the zombie’s brain!
"I will take the crystal core. After today, my strength should be improved a lot!"
Wang Tao stood up with a smile.
“We are looking forward to it!”
Everyone sincerely expressed their blessings. After all, as Wang Tao's strength increases, the security of their base will be greater.
Wang Tao and Han Rui returned home together.
Ding Yuqin asked if the two of them were injured. Wang Tao was a little tired, so he went to take a bath.
Lying comfortably in the bathtub, his fatigue instantly disappeared. After taking a long breath, Wang Tao looked at the package that he had exploded after killing the second-level hooded zombie.
This zombie exploded two packages in total.
Inside the first package are three crystal nuclei.
[First-order crystal core·Almighty]
[Quality: Excellent (60%)]
[Purity: 50% (no side effects)]
[Almighty: After fusion, you can randomly give +1 to one of the fused abilities, with an upper limit of +10]
The first one is an all-powerful crystal core, but unfortunately it is of the first level.
"Could it be that only the second-order zombies can explode the first-order all-powerful crystal core?"
If this is the case, then this condition is too harsh... But after all, this is an all-powerful crystal core. If someone has fused some particularly rare powers, then this all-powerful crystal core will still be very useful.
The second one is the second-order crystal core.
[Second-order crystal core·Athletes]
[Quality: Excellent (80%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side Effect: Action consumes double physical strength)]
[Athlete: Passive ability, improvement of athletic ability]
This crystal core is a passive ability, and the introduction is very simple. But through the performance of the hooded zombies, Wang Tao feels that this ability is very strong!
The hooded zombie is not only faster than humans, but also more flexible than humans. It can perform all kinds of acrobatic movements at your fingertips... Especially when it runs on the roof, obstacles can't stop it at all!
If human beings integrate this ability, apart from anything else, at least their escape ability will be fully maxed out.
Wang Tao was a little excited, but unfortunately, he could not fuse other crystal nuclei.
The side effect of this crystal nucleus is that actions consume double the physical strength, which is the same as the side effect of hiding the crystal nucleus. It seems that the side effects of the crystal nucleus are not the only one...
The last crystal core is also of the second order.
[Second-order crystal core·Jump]
[Quality: Excellent (40%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side Effect: Afraid of Noise)]
[Jump: consumes energy and can increase jump height and distance]
This ability is not bad. If it can jump a distance of more than ten meters like a hooded zombie, it will be a very powerful ability for both offense and defense. And if combined with the athlete ability, it will be a hooded zombie.
A replica of a zombie!
As for this side effect... No wonder that zombie is so sensitive to sound. It turns out he is afraid of noise!
Wang Tao suddenly thought that he used five self-exploding bombs to blow up nearly 5,000 blood of the hooded zombie. Was the 5,000 blood caused by the power of the bomb itself or the huge noise? It's hard to say...
…
Wang Tao couldn't use the three crystal cores in this package at the moment, and he thought of a question -
Crystal nuclei such as those of athletes and jumpers are all second-order from the beginning, and no first-order nuclei are seen.
Can second-level people directly fuse this kind of crystal nucleus? Or do second-level people also need to find first-level crystal nuclei first?
Wang Tao is a little confused. He can only wait until he reaches the second level before reading. After all, he is just guessing about the situation at the second level...
Inside the second package was a set of clothes.
[Black sweatshirt: durability +5, tear resistance +5]
[Black sports trousers: durability +5, tear resistance +5]
Is this revealing the outfit of the hooded zombie?
He also broke out two pieces of clothing from the zombie, the security uniform he was wearing, the nurse uniform from the space backpack, and this set of sweatshirt and trousers.
These clothes all have durability and tear-proof attributes, but the attributes of the security uniform and nurse uniform are +1, while this suit of clothes has +5.
Wang Tao feels that these two attributes are quite practical. For example, her security uniform has a +1 attribute, but it has never been broken since he has been wearing it. And this suit is +5, so it will definitely be more durable.
It's a pity that this zombie didn't reveal any potions, equipment blueprints or anything like that.
But Wang Tao was satisfied, after all, he had a promotion core.
This promotion crystal core was of orange quality, and Wang Tao put it directly into his mouth.
After a while, Wang Tao felt warm all over his body, and his limbs were full of strength.
He looked at his attributes.
The blood volume has not changed, it is still 4999. The mana volume has increased by 200, and it is now 4400.
The impurities in the body have also increased. It used to show 0%, but now it shows 1%. According to Wang Tao's calculations, it should be 1.1% to be precise...
Then came the superpower, his copper skin and iron bones became a second-level superpower!
This made Wang Tao a little surprised. After seeing the attack power of this full-blooded second-level zombie today, he hoped that the copper-skinned iron bones could be promoted to the second level.
Now it just so happens that an attack power, Shock Wave, is level 2, and a defense power, Copper Skin Iron Bone, is also level 2, one for attack and one for defense! If we deal with this hooded zombie again, we should be able to withstand its frontal attack, right?
Wang Tao tried the second-level copper-skinned iron bone. The feeling of using it was no different from the first-level one, but the mana consumption increased.
When the first-level copper skin and iron bone is activated, it consumes 1 mana per second, but now it consumes 5 mana per second. The mana consumption has directly increased five times.
I just don’t know how much the defense has been improved... I’ll give it a try again!
In the evening, Wang Tao replenished blood on Ding Yuqin's body.
After his unremitting efforts, the blood was finally filled up!
It is convenient to have a blood replenishing pack! Lu Gang, who was also seriously injured, is still lying in the hospital bed, and Wang Tao can go out to hunt zombies!
