Chapter 140 The overall strength of the base has improved
"What's wrong?"
Han Rui asked a little strangely.
"fine……"
Wang Tao shook his head, but he did not say that outrageous idea.
Although it is possible, there is no need to say it now. He will have to find an opportunity to come back later to explore the reality of this green-eyed zombie...
On the way back, everyone saw another destroyed street.
"The orangutan zombies are here!"
Everyone's mood was a little heavy.
According to the frequency of destruction by orangutan zombies, it feels like we will be able to find the Mizusawa base soon!
There are hundreds of people in Shuize Base, and it is impossible to hide. As long as the orangutan zombie discovers it, it will definitely not give up...
Become stronger, you must 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 wouldn't resist. This sounds so cool!
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 terrifying to think about it!
"Then I won't be able to go to the hospital in the future?"
Xiang Hongbin felt a little pity.
Except that there are so many elite zombies here in the hospital, you have to find the elite zombies in other places slowly, which is very time-consuming.
Wang Tao thought for a while and said:
"That's not the case... the zombie underground in the hospital should have been there for a long time. At least it might have been there when the orangutan zombies went there. After that, we hunted many elite zombies there, and it has always been there.
It hasn’t come out yet. So it’s possible that it’s unwilling or unable to come out? Of course, this is just my guess. What’s more specific needs to be observed. It’s better not to go to the hospital for the time being. I’ll do a thorough investigation later.
.”
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 underground in 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.
But Wang Tao is not discouraged. After all, the hooded zombies have been 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 has been left behind for now, and next 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 in surprise when they saw the crystal core 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 cores, which would be very troublesome.
But after hunting hooded zombies, fighting against 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, you have to improve your strength as much as you can improve it now! It is best to upgrade everyone to the peak state! This way, you will have a greater chance of winning against the orangutan zombies in the future!
Naturally, everyone understood Wang Tao's thoughts and nodded. At this time, they really didn't have time to think so much.
After giving the crystal core to everyone, Wang Tao went to visit Lu Gang.
"You're here, how was your harvest today?"
Lu Gang, who was on the hospital bed, saw Wang Tao coming over and immediately wanted to sit up. Chen Zhuang next to him quickly went over to support him.
"Not bad, I got a lot of crystal cores. How are your injuries?"
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 fully recovered in another three to five days!"
Lu Gang laughed loudly.
Wang Tao shook his head. It was 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 would not be able to grow back so quickly.
However, Lu Gang is recovering 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 cores. Lu Gang's precision shooting and sprinting were at full level, but he could fuse two kinds of crystal cores. He had told Wang Tao before that he preferred throwing mastery and stealth abilities.
Wang Tao now threw his 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!"
"Thanks!"
Lu Gang said gratefully.
"Thank you, you deserve this!"
Wang Tao patted Lu Gang on the shoulder.
"No, I mean when I was fighting the hooded zombies before, 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 are strong enough!"
Recalling the time when he hunted the hooded zombies before, Wang Tao also felt a little frightened. If he threw it wrongly, Lu Gang would be dead.
"Oh, actually it's my fault... I thought I was so far away that 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 relax your vigilance on certain things. For example, you think zombies are brainless, and you think zombies will not find you...
"I can't blame you, that zombie is too powerful... Anyway, let's remember this lesson and remember it as long as we can in the future!"
"Yeah! You're right!"
After visiting Lu Gang, Wang Tao returned home and called Gao Hua. In addition to Gao Hua, Ding Yuqin was also there.
Wang Tao asked them what crystal core they wanted.
After they fuse the hidden crystal core, they can continue to fuse.
"I want copper skin and iron bones..."
Gao Hua scratched his head in embarrassment.
Wang Tao glanced at him with some surprise. This was because he wanted to maximize his defense capabilities. He was both invisible and iron-clad.
"no problem."
Wang Tao gave him a copper-clad 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 combine two more types..."
Gao Hua has only fused concealment now, which means 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 see……"
Gao Hua's eyes suddenly lit up.
He would never take the initiative to ask for something 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 knew his status very well, he regarded himself as Wang Tao's younger brother and the boss.
What I have is a reward, so there is no reason for me to refuse.
"Can I get a Throwing Mastery Core if I want?"
Gao Hua thought for a while, he already had two defensive abilities, so it would be good to have another offensive ability. However, he was unwilling to rush forward and fight hand-to-hand, which was his weakness. So he thought, it would be best
It is an ability that enables long-range attacks.
According to his understanding, there are currently only two abilities that can enable long-range attacks, one is throwing proficiency, and the other is 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.
"OK."
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 ahead."
After Gao Hua left, Wang Tao looked at Ding Yuqin.
"Sister-in-law, what kind of crystal core do you want to fuse?"
"I don't know either, I just listen to you!"
Ding Yuqin hugged Wang Tao's arm and said.
Wang Tao looked at Ding Yuqin. He felt that if Ding Yuqin was fused with a long tongue, it might have a different feeling. But after thinking about it, he forgot it. It would be better for his sister-in-law to keep it as it is.
"Then you should fuse a Throwing Mastery first. It's always good to have more attack methods."
"good!"
As for Han Rui, except for the ability to sense, all of her current abilities are at full level, but she has never been able to touch zombies with sense, so there is no way to improve her abilities. Like Wang Tao, her strength has been temporarily increased to the 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, not counting the security forces, only had 6 people. This number is still very small, after all, the base now has 700 people.
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 cultivate the second batch of superpowers!
This news made the survivors very excited.
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 have registered as hunters, and the attraction of becoming superpowers, the number of hunters has increased dramatically. After all, everyone knows that superpowers come from hunters.
Selected inside.
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 strength and then wait for notification from the committee.
As long as you sign up, you will 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 a little 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 there are a large number of crystal nuclei taken out this time, there are also many types. Including quagmire, cough smoke, rejuvenation... and even big stomach king 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 it to 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 still side effects, it is 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 discovered something was different.
For example, the crystal core of Quagmire seems useless from the introduction. But the actual effect is not bad!
The effect of the quagmire is to "consume energy and create a quagmire around the body."
A person with superpowers who has only fused a quagmire crystal core can form a quagmire with a diameter of ten meters around his body.
Whether they are humans or zombies, their speed will be greatly slowed down in the quagmire. Especially zombies, they can easily fall into it 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 psychics who had learned the quagmire to stand together and release the quagmire. The resulting quagmire was five times the size of the previous one!
And this quagmire exists forever! 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!
What if he gets a group of people with mire abilities, lets them release their powers at the same time, and creates a large quagmire. Then he lures zombies into the quagmire. Once the zombies come in, they will be unable to move and will have no choice but to be slaughtered by others!
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, so you must prepare 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 superpowers, they themselves did not feel uncomfortable, and even felt relieved when the mud flowed out. But Wang Tao looked very uncomfortable...
In addition to the quagmire, the ability of the Big Stomach King is also available.
The effect of this ability is "the more you eat, the fatter you grow, and the higher your defense is."
Wang Tao specially found two fat men to fuse this crystal core. In the apocalypse, fat men are still relatively rare, and these two fat men 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 fused this ability, their defense immediately increased greatly. Wang Tao tested it before and after their fusion.
Wang Tao feels that this Big Stomach King Crystal Core is equivalent to a weakened version of the copper-skinned iron bone. Although the defense is indeed not as strong as the copper-skinned iron bone, 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 improved by fusing crystal cores. The upper limit of this big stomach king is even higher. It can be improved by increasing the size, eating more food and fusing crystal cores.
Defense!
Equipping these two fat men with full-body protective equipment, shields, etc., they can be used as human shields in front of them. If they can also integrate the powerful crystal core and the vitality crystal core, the effect will probably 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 could enjoy this treatment.
But not only was Wang Tao taking people out to refresh the health bar, Wei Zhenguo and 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.
Thanks to the efforts of committee members such as Wang Tao, the overall strength of the Shuize Base was greatly improved after a few days——
All hunters have more than 1,000 blood, some superpowers have more than 2,000 blood, and some have more than 3,000 blood!
As for Wang Tao and other committee members, naturally they all have more than 4,000 health.
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...
