Chapter 83 Survivors in the mall
"So fast?"
Wang Tao was very surprised. He thought it would take some time to make the food compressor like before, but he didn't expect it to be completed in an instant.
[Charging right arm: Tough texture, can block knives and guns. Durability +10, defense +10]
This is a black asymmetrical hard arm guard worn on the forearm. It feels a bit metallic but is very light.
The size of this arm guard can be adjusted. After a slight adjustment, Wang Tao removed the steel plate on his right arm and put on the arm guard.
"Huh?"
Wang Tao was a little surprised by the feeling after wearing it.
Whether there is a book or a steel plate tied to his arm, the presence of the book or steel plate can be clearly felt. And no matter how well the binding is and how reasonable the design is, it will still affect his movements to some extent.
But after wearing this arm guard, the presence of the arm guard is not too strong, but it can make him feel that he is wearing an arm guard. And more importantly, this arm guard almost does not affect his movements at all! This
Ergonomic design, simply awesome!
No wonder it’s called the “Charge Right Arm”. It’s completely tailor-made for the right arm. If it were switched to the left arm, the effect of this design would be lost.
"I just don't know how the defense is..."
Wang Tao took out a dagger and cut it gently on the arm guard. There was no mark on the arm guard. Wang Tao increased his strength, but there was still no trace. Even if he directly cut the arm guard with the dagger, the arm guard remained motionless.
. He didn't even feel the impact.
"There's something..."
After thinking about it, Wang Tao directly took off the arm guard and placed it on the ground. Then he picked up the fire ax and slashed hard at the arm guard.
boom!
There was a layer of dust splattered on the ground, but the arm guard was still fine, not even a trace was left.
"nice one!"
Wang Tao was very happy.
The defensive power of this charging right arm feels stronger than a steel plate! And in terms of usage experience, it is much stronger than a steel plate!
Wang Tao quickly put the arm guard back on, then put on his security uniform top and put the arm guard inside. It looked as if he had nothing on his forearm.
"The defense is basically no problem. Let's look at the actual combat effect..."
There were no zombies in the mall, but the actual battle was not really about killing zombies. There happened to be a pebble pier outside his shop. He swung his ax at the pebble pier and made an attack motion.
Whoosh—bang!
A large chunk of the cobblestone pier was cut off.
Feeling the slightly numb palm, Wang Tao was dumbfounded.
No, he just made a swiping motion and didn't really want to cut it down. What's going on?
Wang Tao hurriedly hid in the room, waited for a while, and after making sure that the noise did not attract zombies, he touched the charge's right arm, and then quickly swung the ax a few times. This time he did not point at the cobblestone pier.
, but to the clothes in the room.
Whoosh—bang!
After a few minutes of testing, Wang Tao's eyes lit up.
"I seem to understand... No wonder it's called the charging right arm!"
Wang Tao discovered that after wearing this charging right arm, if he made some fast movements, such as punching, swinging an ax, etc., the charging right arm would give him a certain strength and speed bonus to his movements!
He didn't know how much the specific bonus was, but it definitely exceeded his own ability by a lot!
For example, if he could kill zombies with 500 HP with one ax before, now he might be able to kill 600, 700 or even 800 HP!
Wang Tao carefully studied the charging right arm, and then found a small mechanism inside the arm guard. After opening it, there was a battery inside. It was the kind of technological-looking battery he exploded from the zombies.
"It turns out that it uses electricity. No wonder the production materials require cables, electronic components and batteries... What kind of black technology!"
I happily put the arm guards back on.
He felt that this thing was a bit like a mechanical exoskeleton. If in addition to the right arm, there was also a left arm, leg protection, chest protection, etc., wouldn't it really be possible to create an exoskeleton?
"What are you thinking about..."
Wang Tao shook his head.
But even if these things exist, they are far away to him now, so there is no need to think too much about them.
After calming down his excitement for a while, Wang Tao took out his walkie-talkie and tried to contact Ding Yuqin.
This shopping mall is about three kilometers away from Xingfu Community. In theory, it should be possible to contact him, but it depends on the quality of the walkie-talkie in his hand.
"It's me, can you hear me? It's me..."
"Zizzi...zizi..."
After the sizzling sound, an electric voice suddenly came from inside.
"Wang Tao...are you Wang Tao...Zi Zi..."
Although the sound was a little distorted, Wang Tao could still tell that it was Ding Yuqin.
So he walked out of the house, adjusted his position, and finally heard a fairly clear conversation by a window.
"Wang Tao, how are you doing over there? Are you safe?"
Ding Yuqin's voice was full of worry. After Wang Tao left, she didn't turn off the intercom and kept waiting for news from Wang Tao.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm safe here. What about you? Nothing happened at home, right?"
Wang Tao heard Ding Yuqin's voice and felt that she should be very safe.
Sure enough, Ding Yuqin said that she was very safe at home, with no zombies and no food crisis, but she was a little scared to be alone at home - in fact, she was afraid that Wang Tao would leave her, but she was too embarrassed to say it directly.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, it will take about... just these two days. I will go back and take you to the Shuizhe survivor base."
After these two days of observation, Wang Tao feels that this Shuize base is not bad, at least he will have no problem living here.
After his status as a committee member was confirmed and he became the base's superior, he went to pick up Ding Yuqin.
Of course, even if he does not have the status of committee member, it will not have much impact on Wang Tao. He has always relied on his strength. However, having this status will be much more convenient after all, so he will wait for two more days.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back at home!"
After chatting with Ding Yuqin for a few more words, Wang Tao took the initiative to end the call.
"The charging right arm has been made, and the situation on Ding Yuqin's side has been understood. Let's stop by the Borui Clinic, which is not far from here. I hope I can meet a special zombie who is alone on the road...
"
Thinking in his mind, Wang Tao picked up his weapon again and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, his ears twitched.
"There's something going on upstairs!"
Wang Tao quickly found a corner to hide and stared at the stairs of the shopping mall.
About ten seconds later, a figure with sinister eyebrows and stern eyes appeared from the entrance of the stairs.
He held a baseball bat with steel nails in his hand and carefully came to the first floor. There was a green health bar on his head [115/115]
"Are there survivors?"
Wang Tao frowned.
He thought it was a zombie just now, but he didn't expect it to be a human.
Seeing how this man was holding the steel-nailed baseball bat tightly and searching everywhere, Wang Tao felt that this man had some evil intentions.
"His behavior clearly means he saw me. And I didn't go out when I came to the mall, so he either has a camera, or he saw me killing zombies in the square..."
Wang Tao glanced at the ceiling on the first floor of the shopping mall. There were some cameras, but the wires were broken in some places. There was no electricity in the shopping mall, so the surveillance here would most likely not work.
Wang Tao estimated that this person should have seen the process of killing zombies.
If this person was kind to him, Wang Tao felt that he should call him after he came down instead of sneaking up on him with a weapon.
"I don't know what he wants to do - just catch him and ask him!"
Wang Tao never minds speculating on others with the greatest malice, especially this is still the end of the world. It is always right to be careful.
As he watched this person move toward him little by little, Wang Tao took a small mirror and placed it on the ground. Then he stood behind the wall, motionless.
From the mirror, I saw that this person was getting closer and closer, until he was just a corner away from Wang Tao. Wang Tao suddenly jumped out from behind the other person, immediately hugged the other person's neck, and took away his weapon.
"Well……"
The man's eyes widened in an instant, with a look of horror on his face. His hands wanted Wang Tao's arms, his body moved wildly, and his feet kicked wildly.
But he felt like he was being clamped by iron pliers, and any resistance was useless. On the contrary, the more he moved, the tighter he got.
Just when he felt his eyes going dark, the restraint on his neck suddenly disappeared.
"Cough...cough...cough..."
Without support, the man instantly knelt on the ground, holding his neck and retching.
But before he could catch his breath, a big hand suddenly appeared and grabbed him by the collar.
Looking at the man in front of him who was wearing a black combat uniform, with a skull mask and yellow glasses on his face, who was over 1.8 meters tall and so burly that he almost peed in fear.
"Ahem...don't kill me...ahem...I..."
Wang Tao held his baseball bat in his other hand, waved it in front of him, and then said in a cold tone:
"What do you want to do? Attack me secretly?"
"No...no! I didn't even know there was anyone here..."
The man quickly explained.
But after hearing this, Wang Tao's face darkened.
The other party has obviously discovered him, but still wants to hide it? This person really has evil intentions!
Wang Tao used the bottom of a baseball bat to poke the man in the chest.
"Uh-ah-"
The man's face instantly turned blue, and tears poured out like a bursting dam.
When Wang Tao was a martial artist before, he came into contact with masters who played with cold weapons, which naturally included sticks.
The old master said that in actual combat, for novices, swinging a stick to hit someone is not actually the best move. Because sticks are generally longer, the speed of swinging will certainly not be too fast, and it is easy to be avoided, and the human strength
It's limited, and even if it hits, it won't cause much damage.
But "poke stick" is different. As long as you stab the enemy's chest with a stick, few people can resist the blow unless they have received professional training or have protective gear.
Wang Tao never fights with anyone, and his acting moves are all specially designed, so there is no chance for actual combat. Now that he has tried it for a small amount of time, he can only say that a master is a master, and this is a gentle poke
It's really unbearable.
"I ask you again, why did you attack me?"
Wang Tao parked his car outside the square. His car should not be visible from this location in the mall. When he came to kill zombies, he didn't bring any other supplies with him. So in the eyes of the survivors in the mall, he should be nothing.
An ordinary person with supplies. There is no need for the other party to sneak attack him... Wang Tao was puzzled, so he wanted to know the answer.
"I, I really didn't... didn't want to make a sneak attack..."
The man still refused to admit it.
So tough-mouthed?
Wang Tao originally thought that he was being tough and was about to poke him again. But after seeing a hint of grievance in his frightened expression, Wang Tao temporarily stopped and let go of him.
"May I have your name?"
"I, ahem - my name is Yang Laoqi... I'm really not a sneak attack..."
Yang Laoqi knelt on the ground again, covering his chest and coughing. He felt aggrieved!
He had clearly seen Wang Tao headshotting zombies with an ax while upstairs. Wang Tao dealt with the zombies in the square like a whack-a-mole!
Only those who have actually fought zombies can understand how strong Wang Tao is! Wang Tao can easily defeat a group of them alone!
Facing such a strong man, even if you give him ten courages, he wouldn't dare to make a move!
The reason why he came down secretly was because he clearly saw Wang Tao entering the mall from upstairs, but he never went up.
Their boss didn't know what Wang Tao was doing down there, or even whether Wang Tao had left somewhere else, so he sent him down to have a look at the situation.
As a result, he was knocked down before he saw anyone, and he was not even given a chance to defend himself.
In this short minute, Yang Laoqi felt like he had died several times.
Devil, this man is simply a devil!
"You really didn't attack me by surprise?" Wang Tao was speechless, but he didn't apologize at all. Because it was true that this person lied, and even if it wasn't a sneak attack, he definitely didn't have any good intentions.
"I'll give you a chance to explain. If the reason doesn't satisfy me, then I'm sorry..."
Wang Tao waved the steel-nailed baseball bat in his hand and spoke indifferently.
"Ahem——"
Yang Laoqi was a little anxious. Although Wang Tao didn't say "sorry", he didn't dare to gamble. And after just one minute of contact, he knew that this person was definitely not a good person! But the reason was not that good either.
He couldn't say that he was looking for him. His boss was deliberately guarding against him!
Boss...that's right!
Yang Laoqi suddenly had an idea.
"Ahem, that's it. Our boss saw you coming and wanted me to invite you up! Yes, it's an invitation. I'm here to invite you up!"
Yang Laoqi was very satisfied with his excuse. He was not here for a sneak attack, but to invite people up! This big guy had misunderstood!
In this case, he didn't expect the other party to apologize. He just hoped that the other party wouldn't torture him.
"Oh? Boss? Invitation? How many of you are there?"
Wang Tao asked directly.
"Our boss's name is Cao Xin. He used to be in the clothing business here. I'm his employee. There are four of us now, just on the top floor! Our boss wants to invite you upstairs to have a chat..."
Yang Laoqi didn't dare to hide it, so he quickly told the news. However, the invitation was fake, and he felt that Wang Tao should not dare to go...
Wang Tao knew that this man was not telling the truth.
But now he has more than a thousand drops of blood, has superpowers, has a steel plate on his body, a charging right arm, and a pistol loaded with bullets in his waist... With his strength, even if he can't defeat some zombie monsters
How many people can't be defeated? And Wang Tao wants to know what is going on on the first floor and whether there are special zombies here...
Of course, if he really misunderstood and the characters of these survivors are really good, then he can also recruit people into the base. Recruiting a survivor will increase the contribution a lot.
"lead the way!"
Wang Tao said directly.
"Ah? Oh, okay..."
Yang Laoqi was complaining a little. He didn't expect that this big guy actually wanted to go up! He was afraid that he would be skinned by the boss when he went back, but he didn't have the courage to resist Wang Tao. So he could only lead Wang Tao in front of him aggrievedly.
Go upstairs.
Wang Tao followed Yang Laoqi leisurely, his spirit highly tense. Although he felt that he could deal with these survivors, he would not be careless.
The stairs in this old shopping mall were large and the view was very good. After walking a few steps, Wang Tao saw the people upstairs.
There were three people in total, matching the number of people Yang Laoqi said. These people all had weapons such as sticks and steel pipes in their hands.
Seeing Wang Tao coming up, these people were obviously a little surprised. They all looked at the bald man in the middle who was more than 1.7 meters tall.
The bald man glared at Yang Laoqi fiercely, and then a very polite smile appeared on his face full of flesh.
"Hello! My name is Cao Xin. I used to do some clothing business here..."
After getting closer, Wang Tao discovered that some of Cao Xin's exposed skin was covered with tattoos.
Wang Tao does not discriminate against tattoos, but as a businessman, if you have such a tattoo on your body, is this a serious business?
"Hello, I am Chen Zhuang."
Wang Tao said nonsense.
"welcome!"
The bald man stretched out his hands from afar, but Wang Tao gave him a face and stretched out his hand to shake his hand.
After the bald man got closer to Wang Tao, he immediately felt a pressure rushing towards him. Especially the blood-stained ax on his waist, he felt that he might not be able to withstand the opponent's axe...
Other people's feelings are more obvious. In their eyes, their boss is already a burly muscular man, who usually looks very stressed. But when compared with Wang Tao, he is nothing. The boss is at least smaller than Wang Tao.
Two circles. Especially since Wang Tao also wore a skull mask on his face and several bloody axes on his waist... He looked exactly like the villain on TV!
"Come, please come inside!"
The bald man very enthusiastically led Wang Tao to a room with an open door.
Wang Tao carefully observed the surrounding situation, especially these few people. None of them had superpowers or hidden attributes. But they had all killed zombies more or less, and their health bars were basically a little over 100.
The one with the most health bars is their boss, who has [205/205] health. This probably killed about twenty zombies.
The layout of the third floor of the shopping mall is similar to that of the first floor. It is also divided into areas one after another. However, other areas are blocked by things. Only the left and right areas are accessible.
On the right is the hall where the bald men are.
On the left is a small iron door locked with a rusty iron chain, which seems to be a warehouse. Wang Tao glanced at the iron door, and then followed the bald man to the hall.
