Chapter 130 Another Airdrop
Wang Tao fell into a negative state of weakness for a day. He originally wanted to hunt zombies today and raise his health bar to 5,000, but he couldn't do it now.
Although he can kill most of the first-level elite zombies even if he falls into weakness, there is no need to take risks. After all, he only has one life.
Wang Tao took out the materials and made some rejuvenating potions, then sent some to Wei Zhenguo and explained the situation.
"Rejuvenation potion? What a good thing!"
Everyone was surprised when they saw the potion. No one asked where Wang Tao came from, just use it.
Although there is a side effect of "one day of weakness", this critical moment can save your life, and the side effects can be tolerated.
"Wang Tao, if you don't go out today, you can come and help me confirm the list of the first batch of superpowers?"
Ren Jie suddenly said to Wang Tao.
I have mentioned before that we need to improve the overall strength of the base. The easiest way to improve the strength is naturally to add more superpowers.
After several days of screening, some lists have been initially determined. The next step is to determine the specific personnel and then give them crystal nuclei.
"OK."
Wang Tao didn't refuse. He just wanted to see what level these survivors were at now.
As for how to determine, Ren Jie is going to let the people on the list demonstrate their abilities in front of them, and then he and Wang Tao will decide. If the committee members have candidates they recommend, they can of course make the decision directly.
Wang Tao thought there was nothing wrong with this method, so he settled on it.
Ren Jie used the radio to call all the people on the list to the square outside the complex.
For a time, almost all the survivors from the base came.
Although many people are not on the list, they want to see how strong those on the list are, and some people are not convinced...
Of course, more importantly, everyone wants to know who can become a person with superpowers. From now on, they will all be the big ones!
But just when the survivors came to the square, there was a sudden buzz in the sky!
"Plane? Airdrop again!"
A moment later, Wang Tao was surprised when he saw the transport plane in the sky.
During the first airdrop, the military base left a letter in the airdrop saying that they did not know if there would be another airdrop.
But a month later, the second airdrop came. Not even a few days have passed, and the third airdrop has arrived!
If the airdrop can be maintained once or twice a month, that would be great!
I just don’t know what’s going on inside that military base and whether it’s safe. Seeing as they can still airdrop, it should be safe, right?
Wang Tao felt that the Shuize base was still a bit uninteresting. It would be better if he could go to a military base...
"Another airdrop!"
Ren Jie was a little happy when he saw the airdrop. After all, every airdrop represented a gain.
Wang Tao felt a little regretful. He was in a weak state today and couldn't go out, otherwise he could happily pick up airdrops.
However, Wei Zhenguo and the others are outside, and they will definitely not let these airdrops go.
"look here!"
Ren Jie spoke loudly to the survivors in the audience, instantly attracting their attention. After fused with the Screaming Crystal Core, his voice is now so loud that it can be used as a human trumpet.
"With your current abilities, it is still very dangerous to pick up airdrops. But when you become superpowers, you can pick up these airdrops by yourself in the future!"
Ren Jie smiled and spoke.
After hearing this, everyone in the audience suddenly became excited. Who doesn’t want to be a superpower who controls the end of the world?
"I'll start reading the list now, and the people who are called will come on stage and show off their abilities."
Ren Jie started to call the names one by one.
Everyone who was called came to the stage with excitement on their faces. Some showed their strength, some showed their speed, some showed their ability to resist being hit, etc.
When choosing a person with special abilities, priority must be given to those with good physical fitness. This list is a list of survivors with relatively good character selected by Ren Jie.
Therefore, the specific candidates for this first batch of superpowers are basically people with good character and good physical fitness.
Wang Tao sat on the stage and looked at the survivors in silence.
In fact, he can roughly tell who has good physical fitness by looking at the health bar, but there are some things that the health bar cannot show. Just like himself, his physical fitness is very good, but this health bar cannot fully reflect it.
Soon, everyone on the list was displayed. There are only 30 people in this list, but only 6 people were selected.
The reason why there are so few people is because the remaining places are occupied by the security forces. Apart from the superpowers in the base, the security forces have the strongest combat capabilities. They must be given priority to become superpowers.
Not counting Wei Zhenguo and the others, the security army now has a total of 14 people. Counting these 6 places, that means there are 20 people in the first batch of superpowers!
If all 20 people can succeed, this will definitely be a great increase in strength for the base!
After Wang Tao and Ren Jie made their selections, these six people were selected. Those who were not selected looked disappointed, while those who were selected were ecstatic.
Wang Tao was also very fair. He didn't know these 6 people. He just chose them because they had a lot of health, killed a lot of zombies, and had good physical fitness.
As for Ding Yuqin and Gao Hua, they were naturally not selected. They were actually on the list, and Ren Jie obviously gave him a lot of face.
But there is no need for Wang Tao to choose them. Anyway, the crystal cores are in Wang Tao's hands. He can give them to whomever he wants. Moreover, these two people are also Wang Tao's default superpowers...
"Thank you, Commissioner Wang, and Commissioner Ren, and thank you for the base cultivation..."
These six lucky people were also very sensible and immediately bowed to Wang Tao and Ren Jie to thank them.
"Congratulations, you guys! I hope you can make more contributions to the base after becoming superpowers. After all, this is our home..."
After Ren Jie encouraged them, Wang Tao gave each of them six crystal nuclei.
These crystal nuclei are all combat abilities selected by Wang Tao, and they are all red. But ask them to fuse on the spot.
After several people got it, they swallowed it immediately, and then the six people fell to the ground and slept.
"good!"
Wang Tao was very pleased to see that no one failed. It is indeed a crystal core with an 80% fusion success rate.
After having people send these quasi-superpowers home, Ren Jie encouraged everyone again.
"The purpose of the committee is to make all combatants in the base become superpowers! Although this cannot be accomplished in a short time, the base has been working hard in this direction! Don't be discouraged if you are not selected, and improve yourself. This It’s just the first batch of superpowers, and there will be a second batch and a third batch later..."
Ren Jie's words really rekindled everyone's fighting spirit. They also want to become superpowers!
"Okay, let's all disperse. Let's go back and practice hard, kill more zombies, and strive to become the next batch of superpowers!"
Ren Jie waved and dismissed everyone.
When Wang Tao was about to leave, Huo Ziyi suddenly found him.
"What's wrong?"
Today, Huo Ziyi specially dressed up, looking a bit like a pre-apocalyptic starlet.
"Well, that's it. We have something to ask Commissioner Wang. If Commissioner Wang has time, please come with us..."
Huo Ziyi spoke awkwardly.
"OK."
Wang Tao had nothing to do for the time being, so he followed her.
Huo Ziyi brought Wang Tao to a large classroom. In addition to her, there were several young women dressed in gorgeous clothes.
On the way here, Huo Ziyi also explained to Wang Tao that she wanted to ask Wang Tao to watch the program they had prepared - wasn't it almost three months before the end of the world came? Ren Jie and the others thought that they would wait until three months to fully When the time comes, hold a party at the base to celebrate a little bit.
This is not for pleasure or formalism, but to improve the happiness index of the survivors - from the establishment of the base to the present, the base has actually been very depressed, and many people are like walking zombies.
This state is definitely unhealthy. Ren Jie used to be a very capable deputy county magistrate. He knew that he needed to adjust everyone's mental state.
Otherwise, if you continue to be so depressed, it will easily push people into extreme personalities. If the next Shao Yong appears, it will be bad.
So he planned to hold a simple party to celebrate everyone's survival in the apocalypse for three months.
Surviving for three months in this harsh apocalypse is indeed something worth remembering.
Huo Ziyi, a former little star, had no ability to go out to hunt zombies, nor did she dare to search for supplies. She could only do hard labor in the base and had no use. Now this party is a good opportunity for her!
Of course, there may be other purposes, such as gaining the favor of committee member Wang Tao...
One thing is that, watching these young and beautiful girls wearing small skirts twisting around on the stage, Wang Tao almost thought that this apocalypse was a dream. But he soon woke up. If this wasn't the end of the world, would these little stars dance alone for him?
"Commissioner Wang? How did our performance go?"
Huo Ziyi wiped the sweat from her forehead. She looked at Wang Tao as if he was a little distracted, and suddenly asked with an expectant look on his face.
Commissioner Wang seems to be fascinated by it!
"Very good! This show will definitely be liked by many people!"
Wang Tao praised with a smile.
Huo Ziyi and her sisters all have good foundations. Even 18th-tier starlets are not comparable to some so-called internet celebrities.
When Huo Ziyi heard Wang Tao's words, she immediately lowered her head and whispered:
"Then...Does Commissioner Wang like it?"
Wang Tao was about to say that he liked it very much, when suddenly the intercom rang.
It was Ren Jie who came to him and said there was something important.
"Sorry, I have some things to go first."
Wang Tao nodded to several young girls and then left.
After Wang Tao left, several other women quickly surrounded Huo Ziyi.
"Sister, you think this is still a peaceful time! Be decisive! Just go up! Listen to me, next time you see Commissioner Wang, just sit on his lap... What a good opportunity wasted!"
Huo Ziyi blushed a little when she saw the little sisters' expressions of hatred.
She does have a lot of thoughts about Wang Tao now, but after all, she still wants to have face, and she really can't do such a direct move.
"Oh, forget it! Next time, next time I will go directly! Let's continue rehearsing..."
…
Wang Tao came to the complex building.
Except for Wang Tao, Wei Zhenguo and the others are also back.
"Huh? Are you back?"
Wang Tao was a little surprised. He thought it would take a while for Wei Zhenguo and the others to come back.
"Guess what good stuff we found today!"
Wei Zhenguo looked at Wang Tao with a proud expression.
Hearing this, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.
When Wei Zhenguo and his team went out today, an airdrop happened to arrive. They must have picked up airdrops. Could it be that there are a lot of good things in the airdrop?
"Food? Weapons? Inhibitors?"
Wang Tao smiled and said.
At present, the most precious thing in the airdrop is the inhibitor. Could it be that they found a large number of inhibitors?
"Haha, more than that, far more than that!"
Xiang Hongbin laughed.
"Oh? Then what good things are there? Let me see, it's impossible to airdrop crystal cores, right?"
Wang Tao was interested.
"Hey! Although it's not a crystal core, it's really related to the crystal core!"
Xiang Hongbin said, and then stepped aside. Wang Tao saw several large boxes behind him.
"What are these?"
Wang Tao walked over with some curiosity.
"Hey, wait until Liu He comes!"
Xiang Hongbin showed a sly smile on his face.
"This old Xiang, he didn't say anything when I asked him just now, and he had to wait until everyone was here before he said it!"
Ren Jie was a little helpless.
"Okay."
Wang Tao shrugged.
Soon, Liu He arrived.
All seven committee members were present.
"Come, let me introduce it to you!"
Xiang Hongbin opened the first box and pointed to a machine as big as a 24-inch suitcase inside and said:
"This thing is called an energy detector! It can detect energy and impurities in the body!"
"Check the energy and impurities in the body?"
Wang Tao and others were a little surprised.
This sounds like a good thing!
Have the surviving scientists already developed this technology?
"Specifically..."
Xiang Hongbin briefly introduced it.
This detector requires a blood sample from the tester. As long as the blood is put in, about a minute later, the energy and impurities contained in the person's body can be detected.
Wang Tao felt it was quite magical, and he asked:
"Have you tried it?"
"No, after getting these, we didn't even look at them, and we ran back quickly..."
Wei Zhenguo shook his head.
"Come, let me try it first! This machine has a disadvantage, which is that it needs a lot of electricity, which is more power-consuming than air conditioning..."
Xiang Hongbin took the lead. He plugged the machine in and turned it on, then bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood into the detection port of the machine.
There is a very small LED screen on this machine. After about a minute, two lines of words appeared on the screen.
[Energy: Level 1]
[Impurity: Level 1]
Wang Tao:?
That's it? He thought it would show detailed information, just like what he saw, how much blue, what percentage of impurities, etc. But it showed a level 1 and a level 1...
"Well, let me take a look at the manual..."
Xiang Hongbin was also a little embarrassed, mainly because the numbers were too concise, especially the impurities, he couldn't understand them.
There was a manual in the machine, and Xiang Hongbin quickly figured it out.
"I understand! Energy means the same as crystal core, and level 1 is the same as what we understand as level 1. However, this detector is a semi-finished product. Currently, it can only check three levels, namely level 0, level 1, and level 2. Level 2 refers to levels above level 1. No matter how many levels there are, it will show level 2 here..."
Good guy, it's still a semi-finished product?
"Well, to be precise, this should not be called a semi-finished product, but they don't have higher-level data, so they can only do this for the time being." Xiang Hongbin explained and then said: "And this impurity has a total of 5 levels, each level is 20%!" "When the impurities in the body are below level 2, that is, below 40%, it is basically very safe. At level 3, 40%-60%, there is a certain degree of danger. At level 4, 60%-80%, it is very dangerous. At level 5, 80%-100%, it is extremely dangerous!" "The manual recommends that any base should not take in people with level 5 impurities, otherwise it may explode at any time!" Wang Tao just complained that the machine was not accurate in its inspection. Now after listening to Xiang Hongbin, Wang Tao understood that the significance of this machine is not to know how much impurities there are in the survivors' bodies. Its purpose is to screen out those dangerous survivors! If a machine is placed at the door of a base, you have to check your blood if you want to enter, which can eliminate many dangers! The other people obviously also thought of this use. Ren Jie's eyes lit up and said: "I have been thinking these two days. If there are more superpowers in the base, they will have the ability to hunt elite zombies by themselves. Then when they fuse more crystal cores, how to judge the amount of impurities in their bodies... Now with this machine, it is much more convenient!" Although Ren Jie emphasized that the number of crystal cores fused by each person should not be too many, this emphasis is in the face of the improvement of strength... It is estimated that a considerable number of people will choose to continue to improve their strength. After all, the feeling of improving strength is really great, and some people will definitely not be able to resist. But if there is this machine, he will go back and do a regular physical examination to determine which people are dangerous elements. "In addition to this detector, there are other good things!" Xiang Hongbin brought another machine, which is about three or four times larger than the detector. He pointed to the machine and said: "This is a crystal core energy synthesizer! To be precise, it should be called an extraction and synthesis instrument!" "Ah? Extraction and synthesis of crystal core energy?" Ren Jie was a little surprised.
Can crystal core energy also be extracted and synthesized? This feels much more powerful than the detector just now!
"However, he extracts negative energy, that is, side effects..."
"Extract side effects!"
Everyone subconsciously looked at Wang Tao.
Wang Tao gave them the crystal core before, saying that it had no side effects. Wang Tao did not elaborate on the specific situation, and they did not ask.
Now when it comes to side effects, they subconsciously think of Wang Tao. Could it be that the crystal core Wang Tao gave them was obtained using a similar machine?
"I have read this manual in advance. It says that the energy and impurities in the crystal core are fused together and cannot be separated at all. But this side effect is a special impurity that can be separated! However, if you want to separate the side effect... you have to pay a great price!"
